16. Feelings

"It's tough to forget the past, specially when it's engraved on your mind and soul."

"Then let them think that way because if they can't understand my situation, they aren't fans, they're toxic people. So, it's better to have a small but honest group of people loving me. In a way, I got to know who's there with me, didn't I?"
Jungkook glanced at Violet and then at Jin, confidence lurking out of his eyes.

Today, he sounded so brave unlike his usual silent and cold self who is barely involved in any sort of controversies. Jeon Jungkook is called the 'The Nation's Husband' for a reason- he's always been soft spoken and gentle. Scandals are the last thing he's involved in. That's what makes him a total professional, decent and inspirational figure for the public.

"Your image is influenced negatively. The drama ratings might plummet downwards." Mr. Hwang spoke apprehensively, sweat beads formed on his forehead. After all, a huge controversy just blew up on the set and he's the director of the upcoming drama. Surely, it'll affect its viewership.

"I don't care, whatever I did was right and so, I don't care about the consequences." He turned towards him and bashed the elder with his words, confidently taking his stance.

"Don't worry, it won't now." Taehyung joined their conversation and everyone looked at him. The model showed them his device with his 'Weverse' page opened. He just wrote an update which said;

'It's sickening to see people are bashing on the person who's speaking the rightful things. Fans sure are terrifying. #ISupportJungkook #ProtectViolet'

And his post had ten thousand plus comments in mere seconds. Can't deny Kim Taehyung's influence on social media. His followers understood what he's trying to convey and many reposts and debates on the topic began. Nevertheless, after his post, many mindful people looked forward and supported Jungkook and Violet. In all this process, Sierra silently stood there, tapping her feet waiting for the drama to get over whilst randomly rolling her eyes impatiently.

"Thank you for the help, Taehyung. But please delete the post, they'll send hate to you too." Violet expressed her gratitude towards the male and requested him to take back the post, she was afraid he'll get involved in the mess just like them but Seokjin disagreed with the younger's statement.

"No, if we look into the situation right now, the hate is more subjected towards you two and Taehyung's post is helping in a way to calm the situation, check the analytics I'm pretty sure considering his influence there will be people to support you now." He explained and Yoora handed him the tab with the analytics. Well, he was correct- many more people were now giving their sympathy and support towards the actors.

"Don't worry Violet, we've reported the hate speech accounts, legal actions will be taken against them. Thank you Taehyung, for the immense help." Seokjin thanked the younger whilst sharing a professional handshake with him. A sheepish smile was plastered on the model's face and now, Taehyung glared at Sierra and ordered a brusque 'apologise' to her. She flinched looking at her brother's rageful burning eyes and soon did her part, as instructed by him before coming to her.

"I- I'm also on your side, Violet." She showed them her social media post which said;

'Miss Park isn't well, please don't post rude things on her account, it's affecting her mental health.'

Jungkook and Violet mentally scoffed looking at her fake care because in all this time they've known one thing clear about Kim Sierra, she might be scared of her brother but that doesn't stop her from doing her bitchy tactics. Once he's gone, she's back to her real self but that didn't stop Violet's lips to curve into a smirk of victory as Sierra slightly bowed, mouthing an apology to her and sprinted out from the room along with Taehyung because she was embarrassed. Mr. Hwang too, apologised towards the actors and made his way out.

Seokjin's brows crouched in perplexity but Hyun whispered in his ear that he'll explain the whole scenario later and so, he preferred to stay silent for now.

"Also, I've cancelled the partnership with Seo Fashion, if he dares to do anything weird like that again, I'll drag him to court." Jin informed Violet and she nodded.

Meanwhile, Yoora told Jungkook what Seo Juyoung did. 'Angry' would be an understatement considering the amount of wrath she could see in his expressions, when he got to know that but she tried to cool him down by telling that the company has already breached the contract and so, there won't be any more cases like this again.

----


The commotion came to a standstill when Seokjin made his way out along with Hyun and both the elders didn't forget to mouth a 'take care' to Violet. Jungkook stood there baffled after the sudden explosion of things he's getting to know. Yoora took a seat near Violet, taking the younger's hand in hers and caressing the knuckles making sure to not touch the part where the IV is placed.

"Violet, I should've been more careful. I'm sorry."

"No, please. I insisted on continuing the shoot, it's solely my fault. I even increased your work after I fainted." She shook her head taking the blame on herself.

"Stop blaming yourself! It's nowhere your fault!" Jungkook chipped in and blurted out, frustrated.

"Yoora, I want to talk to him. Alone." She took a pause and glanced at both of them. The elder understood and made her way outside, not forgetting to inform them that she and Hyun are waiting for them outside.

"Why are you helping me this much?" She inquired, sternly.

"I just want to." He shrugged as he, himself, was confused.

"You don't have feelings for me, do you?" She suspiciously cocked her perfectly plucked brow at him, his mouth went agape. He choked on his own saliva at this question. In all honesty, till now he didn't feel that way. He just felt contented when she was annoyed because of him and pathetic when she got sad.

He didn't want to see her sad, wholly aware of the fact that she blames him for all her miseries.

He cares for her deeply but doesn't have the courage to say that, he wants her to be happy but he's well aware his presence gives her pain. Still, somewhere deep down his heart he wishes her to lovingly gaze at him just like how she does when she's playing the character of Jina. Oh well, he's well aware that characters are totally different from one's real personality and both of them are living proof of it.

But what he wishes is... for her to stop despising him to the core.

He doesn't have feelings for her? Bullshit.

With whom he's playing- with everyone who can see what's going on or... himself who's confused about everything?

He couldn't utter a word anymore and just shook his head in denial and the woman nodded her head in affirmation.

"Dumb fuck." She murmured, teasingly.

"Shorty shrimp." He too mocked her and they both laughed at the weird names they've given each other, finally sounding like how they're normally towards each other.

After three hours of an elongated rest, Violet was given permission to get discharged. The nurse removed the IV and the doctor checked her vitals for the last time before giving her some privacy to dress up. She changed into her normal clothes- a black deep round neck, full sleeves top paired with creamish baggy jeans, which complimented her tall, lean and curvy figure.

Violet got out of the dressing room and peeked at Jungkook's broad back and side profile. She was certain, he was in deep thoughts looking at something from the window. In no time, she too joined him and now she understood why he appeared a little tense. The main entrance and gates of the hospital were packed with reporters and fans, there's no way both of them could make out in one piece from that flock of people.

Surely, fame comes with its own price to pay.

They both glanced at each other as if asking for any idea on how to get out, then silently shook their heads disappointed, but not surprised because of the situation. They knew something like this might happen. Just as Violet was about to speak something, someone's voice caught her off guard.

"There's a way from which you both can go out just like how the other celebrities who came here went." The doctor tutted confidently, chipping in between both of them, making both the actors' hold their chest as they were stupefied by his sudden appearance out of nowhere.

"H-how?" He asked nervously.

"There's a back gate just opposite from the main entrance which is not used much. You can use that, no one comes there, so it'll be hassle free." He explained and Violet's eyes sprinkled stars upon knowing the information.

"Really?! Thanks a lot doctor!" She exclaimed in joy.

"No worries, I have one request though."

"What request?" Jungkook cocked a brow at him, wondering if he'll ask something weird and the male has absolutely had no energy to deal with anyone now, after such a long day.

"I know this might not be the right time, but my daughter is a huge fan of you both. Can you please sign an autograph for her?" He pleaded and Violet chuckled at the request. It's just a small thing to do after what he did for her, when she was hospitalised. Jungkook shook his head portraying a small smile and asked for a pen and paper.

They signed on the paper and thanked the doctor for one last time and made their way out. Hyun and Yoora were fully ready outside, as if they're going to a war zone because they were aware only about the main entrance and exit but the hospital staff directed them towards the back exit and of course, they all were relieved for their help. Had it not been for them, they would have to struggle for at least two more hours to reach home.

----


After a long tiring day, Violet and Jungkook could finally reach their respective houses. Yoora bid the girl a goodbye whilst checking her temperature and giving her the medicines.

Violet got inside her room and soon, took a long, relaxing shower. She changed into her night clothes and jumped upon her bed caressing it like it has been days since she's been here. At this moment, she just wanted to relax and sleep.

Just as she was about to drift into her dreamland a message popped up on her screen. Although there had been millions of messages till now but she has muted the notifications from her social media, this was texted to her personal number. Out of curiosity, she opened the message. It was a video. A video...

Of her changing her clothes.

This video was filmed during the Belleza event. She was sure of it, observing the room in the background.

Secretly filmed.

The worst part- every part of her sanity is clearly visible.

She couldn't even express her shock or anger when a call came on her phone- Unknown number but hysterically, she picked it up.

"Hello-"

"You look so sexy without clothes." She instantly recognised the voice.

Seo Juyoung.

"You basta-" She cursed under her breath, her nose flaring in anger by the audacity he had gone through. Certainly, he's a sick maniac.

"Uh uh. Mind your words you damn prick! Remember I warned, you'll pay back for the slap." He uttered in his devilish tone and she clenched the device close to her ears.

"What- What do you want?" She stuttered, anxiously getting up from her position.

"I want you on my bed in the next twenty four hours and beg me to fuck you like the whore you are. Else, you know right? The video will be circulated everywhere. Oh! Dare to tell the cops and see... The first person to see those hardened tits and quim will be the person you hate the most- Jeon Jungkook, next the person you love- Kim Taehyung, then managers and Seokjin and finally, the audience who's presently not that happy with you. Right?" He mocked and grinned monstrously whilst cutting the call.

A cold chill ran down her spine. She shivered due to anxiety and the device automatically fell from her hands. Her body steadily brushed against the wall and she blankly sat on the floor and curled into a ball.

Tears made their way from her eyes.
