Chapter 28
Jimin walked down the hall nonchalantly despite the fact that you were pretty sure that you were at his sight and he must have noticed you standing there and you looked back at the door which you stepped out off feeling tense by the fact that a potential enemy of his was just two doors away from the room he was to enter.
He didn't pay any attention to you and proceeded to halt at the door of his room, taking out the key from his pocket and entering in it, leaving the door slightly open behind him, obviously for you to follow and you did so, after taking one more look around.
"I didn't expect that you would be waiting for me outside the doorstep. Don't you think that's a bit too obvious?" He spoke as soon as you came to his view, still holding the dirty bedsheets of the room which you were supposed to return to quickly with freshly washed ones.
"I was not waiting, I was working. I am cleaning some rooms on this floor and most specifically room 2008." You replied with an anxious expression that made Jimin confused a bit over your behavior.
"A room which is occupied by Jeon Jungkook!" You added, making Jimin's eyes grow wide at the sudden information you had given him.
"What? What is he doing here?"
"How am I supposed to know? All I know is that I have to change his bedsheets and quickly so just wait, I will be right back." You stormed out of the room, in a hurry running to the room where your cart was while Sonia seemed to have finished her work and was gathering the supplies.
"You finished already? " She questioned and you smiled at her thinking that such a thing would have not been possible under any circumstances.
"No, it's just that the room is occupied and the customer just wants his sheets changed for now. I guess we will have to pass that room to the morning shift." You explained as you helped her gather the supplies and drag out of the room the cart.
"I will go ahead to the above floor then. I am leaving the sheets cart to you." She said as she closed the door and took hold of the supplies cart and you nodded in agreement, grabbing some clean sheets from the cart you were left with and walking back, towards room 2008.
You knocked at the door this time since now you were aware that someone was inside and after hearing his voice allowing you to enter, you took out your card key and opened the door. Once inside you just gave him a small bow as you found him still leaning by the balcony door then you proceeding to lay the bedsheets properly on the bed, however unlike before while you were working, this time you felt his eyes on you. He was observing you and that made you grow uncomfortable and hurry the process as much as your hands could allow you to.
"Excuse me but...Can I ask you something?' He suddenly spoke, making you flinch visibly but you covered it up as you turned around to face him with a polite proper smile. " Of course Sir. How could I be of help to you?"
"I know there must be a policy that would keep you from speaking to anyone about me being here but just to make sure...If any paparazzi appears suddenly, I am gonna sue you and this hotel." Jungkook's tone of voice was not as threatening as his words but you sure got the message and of course, you didn't plan on selling his whereabouts to anyone.
"Why would I do that? Are you supposed to be someone important?" You replied looking at him straight in the eyes while playing clueless about his identity and, to be honest, it was not like you wouldn't have been clueless if it wasn't for the research you had made previously.
Jungkook seemed surprised by your reply for a moment then a burst of laughter escaped from his lips, considering that you were joking with him or something. "I am famous. Don't you know me?" He stated and you just blinked silently, having some seconds of a staring contest till he scoffed and looked away.
"You must be kidding me?"
"I know you, Sir. You are famous but that doesn't automatically make you important to me." You uttered confidently right before you turned back around to finish your job and he didn't seem to say anything else, making you smile a bit to yourself at the thought that you may have left him speechless.
You bowed to him and bid him goodnight once you were done and walked out of the room without making much eye contact with him again and then you walked right to room 2008, where it took you only one knock before the door flew open and a hand-pulled you inside in a hurry.
Was he waiting right behind the door or what?
You wondered as you left yourself get pulled further inside the room till Jimin finally let go of your wrist and stood before you.
"What the heck is he doing here at the same time as I?" He questioned you and you just shrugged your shoulders as you obviously did not know the answer to that.
"Did he seem suspicious or something? How did he behave?" He added and you replied simply.
"Nothing unusual."
"You aren't being much help you know?" Jimin crossed his arms and gave you a stern look making you clear your throat and get yourself together a bit.
"Look, his appearance is not that important even though he is one of the three suspects. There was no way he would know of your whereabouts since your visit here was totally unpredictable. Plus he seemed to be occupying that room for more hours. It needed a lot of cleaning that can't be created in such a short time. He is definitely here for something else. Personal reasons, most likely." You displayed your thoughts clearly as you had analyzed the situation and this didn't seem like anything more but an usual day for you, getting involved in something which you shouldn't. It was just that this time it was another famous person.
The heck is going on with my luck lately? How come I can't find a treasure of gold instead of the secrets of others? That would solve so many more problems for me.
"Impressive, you do have a brain that works even though you don't look the part for the moment." Jimin smirked as he commented on your appearance that it seemed to be more visibly off than you imagined.
"I am feeling heavy cause of sleep but I am also at work, I can't afford to slack unfortunately so if you don't mind telling me what was it that you wanted to talk about that couldn't wait for tomorrow, I would be grateful."
Jimin took a seat at the corner of the bed that existed in the room and made himself comfortable, placing his palms on the sides of his body and leaning on the comfortably. His neck was thrown back as he made a cirling motion, relazing a bit his tensed muscles right before on of his hands reached at the area and started massaging it a bit, displaying his tiredness that was not a surprise considering the late hour and the hard work he had went through today.
"Yesterday you mentioned that you had three suspects that you thought of as people that could profit from having my career get damaged. Problem is that the three people you mentioned -Jeon Jungkook, Kim Taehyung and Jung Hoseok- even though rivals on the industry, they aren't my rivals in life. I know them. We aren't best friends but we aren't in the worst terms either. My point is that I don't think they are people who would use such means to get the position of the number one actor." Jimin specified his thoughts, and you listened to him carefully, having nothing to counter that point of view because you had no valid reasons to have them as suspects besides the fact that they happened to be from the entertainment company which you saw that elevator guy visiting.
"The thing I may say right now may not sound so nice but if I have learned something through this life of mine is to never be absolute about anything. You can't be sure that they wouldn't do such a thing and I can't be sure of the opposite but you have to trust me in this one. We won't accuse anyone innocent, the truth will unvail itself to us...well to me. All you have to do is give it time. I promise, I got this." You spoke confidently because if there existed one thing in life which had never let you down that was your weird luck of getting you mingled in things you shouldn't be.
"You just said that I should never be absolute and trust anything 100% yet you are asking me to trust you absolutely..." Jimin stated then smiled as he tilted his head to the side, letting his eyes to observe you in amusement. It was funny how you seem to believe that you were worthy to be the exception which he should trust.
"What other options do you have, really? Aren't I the only one that can help you?"
"I could hire a private detective you know." He responded having intentions of playing with you to see how you would react. Because he knew that you needed him to get the scoop that you wanted and also he knew that you weren't going to publish the scoop you already had of him, because you had admitted to not like unfairness so in conclusion he wanted to make you see that you were the one that needed him more than he needed you, despite the fact that he himself wasn't so sure that such was the truth.
"Yesterday you said that you would work with me."
"I never said that. You were the one that said that you want to work with me then proceeded to speak about everything. I never agreed to anything verbaly." His reply got you a bit pissed off, mostly because your memory was hazy because you were sleepless and now you couldn't recall if that was what really had happened, cause if that was the case that meant that you would have been carried away by the excitement of having such a big scoop just to yourself.
"Okay, so you are telling me that you don't want to work with me?" You questioned and he stood up with a smile, taking some steps closer to you.
"Why would I turn down a free worker. Of course I will work with you I just wanted to have some things cleared out before that." He replied, making you feel a bit releaved yet annoyed at the same time.
If he was to agree then why the heck did he say all that before? Playing with my feelings now isn't he? Trying to make me feel anxious? Boy I can barely feel anything right now, all I want is to fall asleep.
You thought as you proceeded to question what ewere the things he wanted to clear out.
"Our partnership will strickly stay between us only. If anyone asks you are my assistant as my manager needed a second hand. I don't want anyone knowing about this. Not your friends, not your family, not your lover, no one." He stated words which he wasnted to tell you since yesterday but because you black out he didn't had the chance to do so.
"Easy, done. You have nothing to worry." You reassured him as keeping secrets was pretty much your speciality to not mention the fact that even if you wanted to say anything to anyone, you had no friends nor you were too close to share personal problems with your family.
"Thank you, we will see each other tomorrow then. " Jimin smiled then proceeded to leave for the exit and you stayed in the room for a bit more just for safety. It wouldn't be nice if anyone was to see you getting out of the same room at the same time.
After a reasonable amount of minutes pasted you stepped out of the room and locked it, going back to your cart which was left at the corridor and which you had to take to the above floor. You headed for the elevator which workers occupie and were ready to call it when you suddenly saw that it was already coming to the floor you were.
And once it's doors opened, to your surprise you came face to face with the elevator guy. A guy which you didn't know the name of now he should have any business being here at this hhotel after Mrs. Yoon was no longer around along with her husband yet here he was.
You froze in place for a bit till he gave you a smile and casually passed by you, making you slightly look past your shoulder to take sight of him.
What where the odds of him being here at the same time that Jimin was? Was he following him to get him caught up in something again? Or had he already placed any cameras in that room? The thought only terrified you, making you stare intensely at him, hoping that he will not stop at the room 2006 and he didn't. Instead he past by it and halted his steps at the room 2008.
Oho now now, that sure is too intresting for me to ignore.
