"I trusted you with all my heart and you played with it."

"Do you trust me, Jina?" He rasped, caressing her soft cheeks, his brown orbs portraying deep feelings, but the woman twitched her brows, uncomfortable by his touch. Certainly, she forgot her lines.

"I- "

"Cut! Violet you're so stiff right now, your expressions don't appear good at all!" The director yelled and both the actors were back to their original positions, Violet bowed a little apologising to the director and soon, their managers ran towards them as they knew soon these two were going to end up pulling each others' hair.

"Park stubborn Violet, you can't do anything in a single shot, can you?" Jungkook rolled his eyes angrily, glaring at the woman making her scoff and roll her eyes, annoyed.

"Jeon dumb Jungkook, you can't talk respectfully for once can you? You BRAT!" She retorted in the same fierce voice as the male. Their managers, Yoona and Hyun facepalmed themselves as they knew now, these two are going to bicker again.

"Me brat?" Jungkook pointed towards himself and scoffed.

"You shorty shrimp!" He continued, making Voilet's jaw drop at the insult.

"I'm 5'9 you dumb fuck!" She scoffed, pulling him by the collars.

"I'm 5'10 you stubborn ass!" Jungkook spoke and ruffled her hair destroying her hairstyle.

"That took two hours to style. Jeon Jungkook, do you want to die by my hands?!" She yelled, harshly pulling his hair and he groaned in pain, her nails almost dug in his scalp and he wasn't any less, he too pulled her hair with the same energy.

"You two! Don't you dare fight!" Sensing the tension in the environment the director, Mr. Hwang, shouted from his mic to stop them but it appeared like these two were ready to peel each-other's skin off. In mere seconds, their managers pulled the two backwards by their waists.

"Violet! Stop!" Yoora shouted at the younger.

"Jungkook, leave her hair!" Hyun pulled the male's hands away from her hair and he didn't budge to shoot a sharp glare at her. It was crazy to imagine that these two enemies were sharing the screen acting as a couple so in love, when in reality they fight every minute.

Finally, after a good two minutes of their chaos they were pulled to their respective rooms and the shoot came to a halt for thirty minutes.

This became an everyday scene since the drama shooting started. These two co-stars would end up fighting after almost every scene. But they were approached and begged to join this drama because the audience whole-heartedly wishes the two competitors to be in a single screen, that too romance.

Park Violet, the queen of negative roles and Jeon Jungkook, the king of romance dramas, what would be more interesting, than to see two totally opposite personalities act on a single screen?

"Can't believe these two are the top actors of the nation. Why do they always end up fighting?" A staff member whispered to another staff member, audibly enough for the three people now staring at the man. Mr. Hwang, Yoora and Hyun looked at him and sighed.

"Looks like you're new into the industry." Hyun proclaimed and the other two nodded in agreement to his statement.

"Let's take you down the memory lane." The trio spoke in unison, a pinch of sadness audible in their voices.

FLASHBACK


Jeon Jungkook and Park Violet were brought up in the same orphanage, devoid of their parents' love they didn't know what a family really meant. This resulted in anger issues in the minds of these souls from a very young age.

Another thing was that, the environment in the orphanage was a fierce one. Children had to succeed in almost everything and be the perfect, good, obedient kid just for one thing - family. They were having cut throat competition with other kids their age just to get adopted into a good family. Be it in studies, sports, music or dance, they were loaded with the immense pressure to be good at everything, to be eligible for adoption.

Both these young kids loved acting. They have been passionate for this field since they were ten years of age and in future, made this into their career. During their initial years they didn't really hate each other, rather it was the opposite. Jungkook and Violet were the best of friends until an incident happened when they turned fifteen, changing their relationship forever.

The orphanage used to commence a yearly annual function in which couples who want to adopt children were invited. Of course, this 'annual function' too, was a competition and extreme pressure for these little minds. But amongst all this, one thing was certain amongst everyone- Jungkook and Violet were the brightest students of the orphanage, almost ideal children, everyone knew they would get adopted soon. Of course, this created a sense of jealousy amongst other kids for them but they cared less because as long as these two had each other's support, they didn't care about anyone else.

During this event Jungkook decided to play the piano to impress the guests, he badly craved for a family, just like everyone else. He was happy that maybe today he might get the thing he has always dreamt of.

He happily walked in the garden area and sat on the bench just beside his best friend, Park Violet.

"Violet! Can you please keep these piano notes? Actually, there are some mice in my room and I'm afraid they might chew them out and I can't trust anyone else." Fifteen year old Jungkook asked Violet, who was the same age as him. She nodded and happily took the notes to herself.

"Of course, bunny boy! Is that even a thing to ask? I'll keep them safe!" She assured him with a huge smile plastered on her face.

"You're going to play the piano? Woah! That's so cool! Which song is it?" She asked the boy, getting closer to him closing the gap between them, her face just inches near his and he shook his head in denial, a bit flustered looking at her innocent look.

"That's a secret. I wrote this song myself and I wish to reveal it in the event only." Jungkook said, placing his finger on his lips and playfully winked at the girl.

"Alright! I'm excited to listen to it." The girl squealed joyfully ignoring the male's cute wink.

"What about you? What are you going to do?" Jungkook asked.

"What else other than dance? You know, right? I love it to the core!" She exclaimed with joy and they both laughed like the best friends they were.

----

Violet kept the notes securely in her room and locked the door and then went away to the dance room for her dance practice. Afterall, she too was preparing for the annual function and like everyone else, she also wished to get adopted soon.

Funny to think, the family which many people take for granted, these children were competing day in and day out to have it.

The important moment came sooner than expected, it was the time for performance and everyone was portraying their talents.

Next was Violet's turn, she gracefully danced and was capable of creating a good impression on everyone. The teachers of the orphanage were certain that she might get adopted soon and in no time, they received an offer- a sophisticated family of business roots offered to adopt this beautiful kid. They were highly impressed by her talents and they wished to make her a part of them.

Of course, Violet was on cloud nine until she noticed Jungkook.

He was rummaging through things as if searching for something. Her brows crouched in confusion but she approached him smiling widely, of course why wouldn't she? She finally got a family. The first person who came to her mind was Jungkook to share this good news with, but his tensed expressions made her smile fade away.

"What happened, Jungkook?"

"I can't find the notes! Where are they?!" He asked, placing his hands on her arms and shaked her vigorously.

"Stop shaking me like a soju bottle, you bunny boy! They are kept safely in my room, you have the keys. Remember? I gave them to you." She shook her head and smiled a little, as she thought maybe the boy is panicking because he has to perform next and without the piano notes, he won't be able to play the song. She was certain his belongings are in her room kept safely, where else they'll go?

"I CHECKED, THEY AREN'T THERE!" Jungkook yelled, frazzled and the girl flinched at his outburst and took a step back from him. She was frightened as this was the very first time she saw Jungkook this agitated.

"Let- let's search for them." She stammered in a low tone, audible enough for the male and he nodded taking deep breaths as in to calm down himself.

"Don't worry Jungkook, they must be there in my drawers you haven't checked properly, let's look again." She assured the boy and they rushed towards the student hostel.

Meanwhile, there was a sudden commotion in the auditorium where all other students and guests were present. The event was put on halt for sometime.

"Where did my bracelet go?!" A woman in her mid-thirties shouted and all others surrounded her.

"Honey, it must be here near the chairs." Her husband tried to soothe the lady, but she didn't buy an ounce of it.

"No! I checked, it ain't here." The lady spoke out almost on the verge of crying, as this bracelet was gifted to her by her late mother, of course it meant a lot to her.

"Eomma, they'll find it please don't worry." A boy in his teens assured his mother.

"What's wrong Mrs. Kim?" A senior teacher asked the lady and she explained the situation.

The Kim family owned 'Starlight Entertainment'- a top entertainment company which is known for discovering the best talents, be it modeling or acting, of the nation. Certainly, they were the most influential family amongst all the guests invited.

Soon, everyone got busy searching for the bracelet but it couldn't be found. The authorities of the orphanage ordered to search the classrooms, the bags of students, their rooms, staff room and they even rummaged through the lockers of the students.

Meanwhile, Jungkook and Violet crazily searched her whole room but couldn't find the notes.

It appeared as if the bracelet and the piano notes disappeared into thin air.
