You were looking around in utter confusion as you were seated in a chair while security guards were still running around along with some police officers that had arrived and were searching the area.

The person that tried to shoot the actor had fled quickly after his try and thankfully he hadn't accomplished his goal, mostly because you had gotten in his way. Or that was how you saw it because you both were in an open view if he really wanted to kill Jimin, he could surely have done so at that instant.

However, maybe killing was not his original goal altogether.  Maybe he just wanted to scare him or give him some kind of warning. Nonetheless one thing was for sure, and that was the fact that it looked like Jimin had some enemies around.

He had seemed surprised at first once the incident had occurred and he had found himself under you but also had reacted before you after, managing to snap out of that fearful moment with no terrorising expressions or worry in his face.

His calm attitude had left an impact in your memory truth was and even know that you were secured and left at a chair by yourself, you couldn't help but bring his image to mind. The way he rolled you away carefully and stood up without any apparent hesitation or fear that whoever was that shoot may try to shoot again. The way he stared towards the tree and stood up while that unknown person run away.

He hadn't even tried to run after him since he had the most chances of getting to him faster because of the fact that he was in a closer distance nor he even opened his mouth to call for help or anything. Jimin had just blinked calmly before looking past his shoulder and then  offering you a helping hand to get up.

You weren't sure if your fear was showing at that moment. You weren't sure if the anxious feeling and the fear that had welled inside you were visible but the way he sheltered you with his figure while you hesitated to give him your hand, made you think now that he might have looked terrified enough for him to need to give you a reasurance even to stand up.

Why had you even done that? What were you even thinking? You should have just run to get out of the shot view and save yourself yet you had risked your safety with your illogical actions. Truth was that it had hit you emotionally. The fact that you could have died. Even though human life is never something that we can be sure of, still it scared you. 

Not because your life would end. Mostly what made you feel fearful was the fact that everything could have ended and you wouldn't have even had the chance to accomplish your dreams nor keep the promises that you had made to your mother.

"Y/N." A voice called your name and you flinched as you returned from the thoughts that you had dived into.

"DongMin" You responded as he approached more and kneeled down so he would be at the same level with you.

"The filming is gonna get canceled for today. You better go home."He informed you and you nodded your head in understanding as after all this mess it was more than expected for that to happen.

"Who was that? Did they caught him yet?" You questioned him and he forced himself to smile, obviously trying to appeal more reassuring and that somehow reminded you that maybe you were showing your vulnerable state way too much at that instant and that surely wasn't something you wanted so you straightened your posture and cleared your throat,placing back on your face a calmer and colder expression.

"The police will take care of that. Don't worry about anything. Such things won't happen again." DongMin's words were clear yet they didn't sounded as facts at all. They appeared more like a wish than reality to you but you decided to not comment on it.

"What about Mr. Park.?"

"He is already on his way home. Don't worry, your beloved is safe."He replied and you gave him a stare at the way he dared to refer to him in your stead.

"He is not my beloved. I am not a fan of his, or some obsessed person in love that wants to get close to him for that. " You responded, clarifying those stupid assumptions of his as you stood up from the chair.

"There existed only two reasons in my head for you to want to get closer to him. It was either that or..."DongMin held his tongue as he looked around, not wanting to expose the fact that you dream of being a journalist to anyone.

"I thought you would never do something to harm anyone innocent. Have your values changed through the years we haven't been together?" He questioned and you looked at his eyes, letting him see the irritation in your gaze.

"I change for no one.My values make me who I am. You already know how impossible it is for them to bend. That and the fact that you cheated were from the reasons we broke up if you remember correctly." 

"Oh, about that. I heard what happened with Bora. I should have told you that she works here before hand. My bad." DongMin apologised casually of his mistake as he should more than know that you and her at the same space would be meant to cause so tension yet he had forgotten to mention to you that the girl he had back then cheated on you with, was currently working at the same environment that he does,even though the two had broke up since long ago.

"It's not a problem for me. I guess it may become for you though.Having two exes in the same environment. The upcoming days sure don't sound joyful for you." You responding with a threatening tone to your voice and just turned around to leave, not wanting to be at his presence not even for a minute more.

You had more than enough for today. Everything that happened had sure messed with your head as well as your emotions and the day had barely begun.

"Y/n wait!" He called out to you and with a deep exhale of annoyance you turned around again to face him.

"What?"

"Am..I just got a text..Apparently you aren't free for the day. Jimin said he wants to meet you and go on with your acting learning process and the overall check on your current abilities."DongMin informed you as his eyes were traveling from the screen of his phone which he was holding to you, in confusion himself as to why Jimin had decided to look after your lessons instead of taking a break after what had happened to him.

But just like him, you were surprised as well about that because it surely was unexpected and abnormal for someone to do after such an incident. 

Is he that much workaholic?

You had thought for an instant then agreed on going as you had opened your schedule for this anyways.

You followed DongMin to his car quietly after and after you entered inside the vehicle you grabbed your earphone and plugged them in, not intending to even bare his breathing while in the same space.

"The way you hate me is too obvious." He murmured as he saw you doing that and you calmly responded before finally hitting play on a song.

"I never tried to hide it."You words had left him looking at you for a bit while you made yourself comfortable and gazed out the window , now your ears listening to a better sound that would soon enable your mind to drift away from the events that happened earlier.

It  was a thing that often happened to you while listening to music. Your mind traveled to images that the sounds enabled you to create in your head and then unintentionally you would go one, creating stories and fantastic situations of people that happened to appear on that frame that you had imagined. 

If it was a sad song or a break up song, you would imagine two individuals breaking up,with tears and gazes or pain as they say the lyrics to one another. You would create a whole music video in your head, that often kept your thoughts occupied and even entertained you. And other times it would just wake up your empathetic feelings and make you feel the emotions the imaginary people in your head were feeling. It probably would sound weird if you were to explain it to someone else. But it happens and it happened this time too.

Lost in a beach with a sunny weather and people that run happily, just like the vibe of the melody you were hearing, you hadn't even noticed by when you had reached at an underground parking.

DongMin was the first to step out of his car and the sound of his door closing was actually what had gotten you to snap back to reality and proceed to grab your bag and step out as well. You quietly followed him after he locked the vehicle and approached the elevator, in which unfortunately you happened to be just the two of you.

"We are going to Jimin's apartment. Please be careful while on this building. Make sure no one sees you while entering or getting out of his apartment because it may cause inconvenience in the future. Using the parking entrance is something I would recommend for as long as this lasts." DongMin spoke up, breaking the silence and informing you for important things that could cause trouble to Jimin .

"Trying to avoid scandals I see." You commented as you proceeded to place your earphones at the pocket of your bag.

"Useless and false rumors are always unnecessary . But with you around I guess it's like I already left a wolf inside. Still because I know you and because I can't really do otherwise, I will trust that whatever your reason of being here is. It will be for the right cause." He looked at you as he spoke, trying to appeal at your humanitarian feelings and general empathetic side, since he was indeed scared of your reasons of being there but since you knew way to much for him and you had openly blackmailed him in a way , to do you this favor, he had no other option but to let you get close.

It was strange to him, truth was. Knowing you for so long and for whom you really were, it was more than surprising that you had used your knowledge to force someone's actions. You had left so many things go by and he knew that well. You kept secrets of people too yourself as if you were a coffer. Not even with him you didn't shared your knowledge when he was your boyfriend and as such supposedly the closest person to you and the one that you should tell everything to.

You would always say that just because you happen to know, that doesn't give you the right to talk about it. Just because their secret was something that you happened to discover, that didn't mean that you had the right to spread it. Even when he was to make scenes, telling you that he feels distant because you keep things from him, you had never once broke that belief of yours.

It was one of the reasons he used to respect you back then but also the reason that you had ended up fighting often. Because you didn't only kept them to yourself but you also refused to ever use those secrets to your personal advantage of anyone's advantage. Not even when he needed help and you  could have helped him with letting him in some personal stuff of his opponent, you had never done so. And as fair as it might have been it was as equally irritating to him. What kinda of love was your love, if you couldn't put your boyfriend's benefit over what you thought as someone's rights on privacy.

But now you seemed to have stepped on that line since you had used the knowledge you had over him for your benefit and he wasn't sure if he liked the fact that you evolved or was curious to know, what was it that had really made you step this far.

"We are here. Remember the number." He said to you as soon as the elevator opened its doors and you stepped out,  soon approaching an apartment door that you immediately noticed that wasn't the same that you had met him at last time.

"Isn't this the address you send me last time?" You questioned him and DongMin answered without hesitation as he placed the code on the door for it to open.

"That was my place. This is Jimin's apartment. He usually doesn't let many work related people come over." You nodded your head in understanding as the door opened and you followed him inside.

You glanced subtly at your surrounding as you entered, taking in the interior design of the unfamiliar to you place, till a voice greeted you and you glaced towards the owner of it, soon bowing to the unknown man, giving him a proper greeting back.

"She is the trainy that Jimin must have told you about. Introduce yourself Y/N. He is Jimin's cousin and best friend as well as his personal lawyer." DongMin informed you as he smiled politely at the quiet good looking man that was standing before you.

"I am Song Y/N. It's a pleasure to meet you." He smiled after your formal words and took two steps closer reaching his hand out to you for a handshake, action that surprised you for an instant but you reached out to it and took hold of his hand anyway,not wanting to offend him in any way with your hesitation.

"Kim SeokJin. You can call me Jin." He seemed to have a quiet friendly vibe that brought a small smile on your face, before you retrieved you hand and then another voice echoed, disturbing the friendly atmosphere.

"Oh, you are finally here. Y/N come to my office. DongMin,you may go. I will call you later." Jimin spoke as soon as he entered the living room and then turned around and left towards his right, without even waiting for anyone to reply to him.

"Go." DongMin ushered you as you had remained there hesitant and confused with the situation but after his words you excused yourself and went towards the corridor that turned out to be longer than you had originally thought.

Your steps were slow as you walked, unsure of which door was to be his so called office, till you reached at one that was slightly open so you proceeded to push it, soon feeling relieved that it was the right room, as the figure of Jimin behind a desk came immediately to view.

"Come inside and close the door." He told you as you made your first reluctant step in and you proceeded to do so a bit awkwardly as you weren't really comfortable in his presence. Everyone but DongMin were strangers to you after all, and DongMin himself wasn't the best presence to you so in general, the feeling while around all of them was not anywhere near close to pleasant or positive.

"Take this. It's a random scrip." He said as he left some papers on his desk for you to take and you reluctantly grabbed them, soon realising that there were quiet some pages since it weighted a bit on your palm.

" 200 pages, memorise only the female leads part. You have ten minutes." He uttered as he opened a shelf and took out of it a sandglass that to your surprise he didn't even hesitate to flip it and place it on his desk, the sand that was running down, counting your time while you hadn't even opened that script yet, caught of guard by his request.

A request that was to help him judge in what level was your acting experience as well as were he should begin with you.
