EXO's Lay deletes all the pictures from his Instagram

EXO-L's are frozen at the edge of their seats as they watch the possibility of another Chinese member's departure from EXO unfold before their eyes, but what about the group members themselves?

Although countless reports have come out recently with Lay assuring fans he was not leaving the group and reaffirming his love for EXO over and over again, this recent situation with Tao is surely a huge blow to deal with.  Lay, who will be the only remaining Chinese member if Tao indeed leaves, has now deleted all of his pictures from Instagram, which is raising concern from fans as well as curiosity about what this reaction might mean.

Perhaps comments left on his pictures from fans were getting to be too much?  Maybe he just wants some privacy at the moment.  What are your thoughts?
