Chapter 29

"The heck did you call me back for?" Jimin uttered as soon as he entered the room 2006 again, having received your message which told him to quickly return back to that room.

"You will not believe what just happened as soon as you left." You replied as you took hold of his arm and dragged him along with you towards the balcony. "Remember that guy I told you about? The one that had placed a camera on the room while you were with Mrs Yoon and the one that seemed to have a relationship with her? You know the elevator guy who I followed and found about that entertainment company!"

"Why are you bringing him up? Do you think I have a nice image of him that I like recalling often or something?" Jimin gave you a look as you finally let go of his arm and looked at him with eyes full of enthusiasm. A feeling which he couldn't relate to for the moment cause all he was, was confused and in a bit of a hurry cause, DongMin was still waiting for him at the parking lot of the hotel.

"He is two rooms away from us right now! He entered room 2008 where Jeon Jungkook is. Tell me now that this ain't suspicious considering the time that it is and the fact that he told me to hurry cleaning cause he supposedly wanted to sleep." Jimin could see as you spoke, a flame of determination to find out more about this and even though he was surprised by the information you let him in, he found himself being even more surprised at the passion that you seem to possess all of a sudden. A flame that made him think that maybe being a reporter was not a bad choice for you after all.

"Okay, that sure is unexpected, to not mention that I would like to see the face of this unknown man whom I don't have the best of feelings towards. Do you think you can get us closer?"He questioned and you gave him a wide smile as you made a head movement towards the direction of the balcony that was next to yours.

"Oh no, tell me I understood wrong." Jimin took a step back as he realised that you were probably asking him to jump to the other balcony and then to the next where room 2008 was.

"You have played in so many movies. There were so many actions scenes in them, don't tell me you are afraid of a little gap?" You told him and he let his eyebrow raise up as it definitely was not as simple as you were trying to make it sound. You were on the ninth floor and that small gap that you were referring to was at least one-meter distance in his eyes.

"The problem doesn't lay in the if I can or not, It lays on the fact that I am an actor and If I were to be caught there, there would be no saving for me." He argued and even though his words made sense you still left your disappointment show on your face.

"Fine, I will go alone. But you better not leave! I may not show it much but I ...am nervous."You admitted as an urge to scratch your skin got born inside you, that annoying habit that always gets to you when you are scared, nervous or feel under extreme pressure.

"Leave it then. It's okay, you don't have to force yourself to find out more. You aren't in the best conditions to be jumping from balconies and even if you were this is a dangerous act. Your safety is more important than finding out anything. Besides I am sure we could have another chance someday. Knowing that they have some kind of connection is already enough information for me." His words left you staring at him a bit as you weren't expecting him to care about something other than what was actually his business. Most people in his place would do anything to find out more and more of who was trying to harm them yet here he was, thinking that putting your health in danger somehow was not worth it.

"Okay, I am going." You replied, feeling even more determined now than before. Your hands took hold of the chair that was at the side and placed it near the wall that separated the balconies and you climbed on it, soon standing on top of the thin wall.

"Hey, are you serious? Please, come down." Jimin tried to change your mind and you just looked back at him with a smile before letting him know that this was not the first time you had done this then you took a deep breath and jumped successfully to the other balcony, making Jimin's breath halt on his throat out of momentary fear while witnessing the sight.

"See, easy." You whispered at him once you stood on your own feet, a smile resting on your lips that was covering the goosebumps that fear what gifted you.

"The heck are you? Catwoman?" You heard his comment as you were silently grabbing the next chair to place it near the wall and jump to the next balcony where it was the room that you needed to be in.

As you did that however and stepped on top of the chair to give you hight, you immediately had to duck down because they seemed to be talking by the balcony door. You looked towards Jimin that was watching from the other balcony somehow stressed and because you couldn't speak to him, in fear if they were to hear or if the owner of this current room was going to hear - because you knew that this room was occupied- you quickly took your phone and texted him.

" They are on the balcony, talking."

"You are seriously giving me high blood pressure!"

He replied and you just closed the chat and placed your phone on the recording mode, slowly and carefully placing it as closely as you could towards the top of the wall, hoping that the device might catch something more than your ears could. After that, you closed your eyes and tried to focus your hearing on their voices that suddenly became clearer as one of them seemed to have finally opened the balcony door and stepped out completely.

"..we both know that what you are doing is ridiculous. Just come back to your apartment." The elevator's guy voice reached your ears, enabling you to recognise it immediately.

"You think I don't like staying in my own apartment? Catch that stalker first and then of course I will return." Jungkook replied in a rather agitated tone of voice, leaving you quite interested in the conversation that they were having.

"I seriously can't believe that you are acting like this just because of a crazy fan. It's not even the first time you encounter one Jungkook. I don't know you as someone who hides because of fear. What happened to you?" The elevator guy seemed to be trying to persuade the actor but the use of these words felt triggering even to you.

"When you wake up on your bed under a million flashlights and a literal stranger in your room, above your head, invading your private space, you can come to tell me how you would feel. But since that has not happened to you manager-nim, please just leave me alone!" Jungkook's voice echoed quite firmly, giving you the impression that this individual was emotionally bottled up and was on the verge of exploding.

The incident that he talked about sure didn't sound pleasant nor it sounded like something you could burst off easily and he seemed to have taken it a bit heavy, which was somehow understanding to you. Anyone would have been traumatised.

"I told you that the footage won't get published anywhere. We got our hands on it and eliminated those pictures. There's literally nothing to worry -"

"Till you and the CEO give me a handwritten contract that promises me that his crazy ass daughter won't ever again get close to me, I am not taking a single step from this hotel. And if he threatens to end my contract, tell him to go ahead and do so. We both know where opening war with me would end."

Your focus on the conversation of those two suddenly got disturbed as a light turned on from the room who's balcony you were occupying and as you saw a silhouette appearing behind the curtains, you couldn't help but panic.

You looked at Jimin's direction, who was staring towards you, him too as surprised by that sudden light turning on, as you were. You wished inside that the costumer that was occupying the room had woke up to go to the bathroom or drink some water because if he was come anywhere close to the balcony and find you there, you would be in huge trouble.

Unfortunately for you though, the silhouette didn't go away and instead seemed to be approaching closer towards the balcony door, making you step out of the chair in a hurry, grab it and place it at the other side of the wall, climb at it quickly and free jump towards the balcony Jimin was, without a second thought or hesitation.

As he saw your body floating in the air, Jimin's eyes couldn't help but grow wide while his body reflexively reached for you, making you land on his open arms right before your weight took him down, making his back come in collision with the floor.

You had not noticed that you had closed your eyes tight at the process, afraid of the impact but once you opened them you couldn't help but become aware of the wild rhythm of your heartbeat. It was so loud and rapid that matched your breathing pace. A sound that took you a while to realise that was not actually yours and the reason why you were hearing it so loudly was because your ear was right above Jimin's chest. His hands had wrapped themselves around your head protectively and were keeping you firmly in place, giving you a feeling that had you frozen for some seconds.

You dared to move after a bit, lifting your head enough for him to lose his grip and let you stand right above his face. An action that had you speechless as soon as you locked eyes with him.

His breathing was rapid, almost as quick as yours, displaying that he had felt the same anxiousness and startlement that you had however his breathing halted quickly after as if someone had cut it off with a knife. His once surprised and frightened gaze, turning sharp cold, like the blade of a sword would feel.

"I-I am sorry." You uttered, feeling the need to apologise in that exact moment as something inside you, screamed to you to be cautious of him. Why did he felt so different all of a sudden?
