Chapter 41
The filming of the pool scene sure was taking more than you had imagined however you sure were enjoying the fighting that the two actors were engaged with, now inside the waters.
From the distance you were, it was not possible to see much of what was going on underwater but the fact that they were keeping their breaths for quite an impressive time, left you thinking highly of them. The expression of the director sure seemed pleasing so far and with each cut that had happened to give time to the actors to take breathing, the two men looked more and more hardworking to you for sure pulling such things off was not easy.
If you were to have been in a similar situation and you were asked to film such a scene, you would have bailed out of it without a second thought but yet again that was expected of you because you were not like them. The thought made you feel slightly uneasy as finding yourself anywhere too close to that mass of water was sure not gonna end up well for you.
You took a deep breath in as you took one more step away, trying to reassure yourself and get you back to the state you were prior that thought got to your mind yet it proved a bit harder to shake away than it was before that you had not even thought of it.
No need to think of it. I have no reason to get close to that.
You encouraged yourself and intentionally moved your sight towards Jungkook's manager who to your displeasure had not done anything out of the ordinary so far. All he has done was stay at his place observing and replying to some sporadic phone calls here and there. It almost made you think that you were wasting your time till you saw the woman that was standing on the top floor, throwing something towards him and getting his attention.
He looked at her with a hint of frustration for a moment till she lowered her glasses and mouthed at him something you didn't quite understand but you guessed it to be something along the lines of 'pick up your damn phone' since she literally pointed at her device while pretending that she would throw it at him.
Mr DuHo proceeded to get on his phone after that, looking around himself in a rather suspicious manner that made you think that he obviously did not want any eyes on him and the woman in the sunbed spoke something to him over the line before she stepped up from her seat and walked out of sight.
The thought of tailing her briefly passed from your mind but the director's voice cutting the scene and calling it a wrap, drew your attention away from the female and into the cheering that escalated and filled the room with quite some enthusiasm. Understandably the crew must have had enough at this point and the end of today's filming had brought them visible joy, so much that you witnessed some literally jumping into each other's arms and jumping around together while smiling.
The place was washed with positivity almost instantly, taking you a bit by surprise yet your eyes soon fell on someone that did not match the vibe. Jungkook had just stepped out of the pool, his nice clothes drenched fully as he himself was. His perfectly styled hair has been destroyed but fallen perfectly nonetheless.
A female staff provided him with a robe right before his manager approached him and to his surprise, Jungkook eyed him in a rather threatening manner right after he opened his mouth and told him something you could not possibly hear.
He turned around almost instantly after and headed towards the exit at a rather quick pace and his manager tailed after him in a visible hurry that made you rush after them, despite the fact that you were not aware of where this could possibly take you. However, if you were to just stay there, and return back with nothing at hand, you sure wouldn't feel pleased with that outcome so in order to make your time worth it, you had to take a bit of a risk.
Once outside at the vast hall, you speed a bit your pace in an attempt to get close enough to listen to whatever words they were exchanging yet not too close because you wouldn't like to catch their attention.
"Oppa!"A loud voice brought your feet to a halt, however, despite the fact that you were aware that they were not referring to you. It was the fact that a door two feet away from where you were had opened abruptly that had startled you and the female that popped out of it that was none other than the one you saw earlier.
Jungkook's manager turned around at her call and you lowered your head immediately, intending to just pass by as if you were to turn around that would look suspicious. You were dressed like a staff of this hotel so for as long as you behave normally and he doesn't recognise you, you could get out of this without struggling much.
"Jungkook-ah come on, just a moment." He grabbed on the actor's arm, in an attempt to pursue him to halt and most like converse with that woman but Jungkook tore his grip away from him in a rather aggressive way that did not fail to catch your attention.
He made his pace quicker and the female suddenly ran towards him, soon standing on his way while you were literally at the other side of the corridor, doing your best to pass by while you pretended like this was none of your business.
"Yah! Why won't you talk to me? You talk to other random girls but you dare not give me even a minute of your time?!" She complained in a rather loud voice that even if you were indeed a normal worker minding their business, you would have no choice but to halt and look at her for a second, as you did.
"Look here you crazy ass bit-"
"Yah! Have you lost your mind! She is still the Ceo's daughter, you can't talk to her like that." His manager got by his side, preventing Jungkook to speak the words he so passionately wanted to and at that moment you couldn't help but conclude that this woman was most likely that individual he was complaining about back then at the hotel room.
"I swear to god, DuHo! If you are gonna be like this I will stop appearing on set altogether. Why the heck is she here?!" Jungkook directed his rage towards his manager, not caring who was watching him and what they may think of him as his rage seemed to be bigger than any common sense to him at that instant.
"I just wanted to apologise, you don't have to be so mad. I promise it won't happen again."The female spoke bringing Jungkook's fierce gaze on her.
"If you ever get before my eyes again I am gonna sue you without even caring about the company or your father's downfall. Did I made myself clear?" He left his firm tone echo on the hallway creating an atmosphere almost as intense as the one he was early acting in and then he proceeded to shove the woman out of his way and continue his leave, without sparing a second glance at her nor his manager, who called his name quite some times before running after him.
You sure felt a bit awkward being left in the hallway with that woman who was literally fuming from anger and as she proceeded to stomp her feet on the floor and return back to the door she exited from, you couldn't help but find yourself extremely lucky by the fact that you had been so visibly there yet not had acknowledged your existence nor they had questioned it.
"What the hell?.... I must really have some kind of superpower." You murmured under your breath, half-joking half not as you turned around, deciding to return back to the swimming pool and exit towards the other door, from which you had originally entered. Following them, any further was not going to bring you any benefits after all and pushing it felt a bit unreasonable for the moment, especially after witnessing the mood that actor Jungkook seemed to be in.
Upon entering back in the room, you were met with a chaos of people moving things here and there and you tried your best to not get in their way, dodging one man to another as you were trying to make your way at the other side of the room.
"Out of the way please." Someone shoved against your shoulder, making you turn around, murmuring a quick apology right before some other crew staff members yelled at you for being in their way, as you were stepping over the cables they were trying to collect.
You lowered your head apologizing once again as you hurried to take some steps back only to realize soon after that you had stepped in something wet and that made you turn around on instinct. Once you caught sight of the pool that way literally one step distance away, you felt a wave of hotness taking over your body and reaching to your chest. Your body froze in place as the burning sensation started growing, creating the feeling that a mass was blocking your larynx, leaving you unable to take in the needed oxygen.
The clear water was waving peacefully before you, yet only peace that was not filling as the clear image started getting distorted in front of your eyes and being stained by haunting memories you did not want to recall. You ordered yourself in your head to step away. Turn around and leave, yet your body seemed to be disobeying you as you proved unable to even close your own eyes to the sight.
Her body drowning below the waters kept flickering before your eyes, each time more vivid than the one before, awaking in you a sense of fear that you wished to never experience again. Your own screaming of the past echoed within your brain and tears started welling in your eyes, as you felt like you were not able to win against this moment.
The sounds of the chattering that the people were making soon started fading away in your ears and your peripheral vision grew blurrier, leaving the only clear sight before your eyes, the one thing you wanted to not face. Leaving you to relieve one of the memories that had stained your mind as a human as well as had managed to creep in your veins a kind of terror that was unmatched to any other.
A terror that someone's hand -that took hold of your arm and turned you around, bringing your face into his embrace-saved you from. Someone's hold that had literally brought you back to reality and pulled you out of a dark mental hole as well as saved you from a sure panic attack.
Some tears rolled down your eyes as you left out a shaky breath, which made you feel weaker than you would like to show in a public place as you were, yet your body still gave up on you, leaving you using the body of that stranger for support. A stranger whose face you had yet to look at yet once he spoke, you couldn't help but recognize it.
"Don't worry, I got you, "Jimin uttered softly as he wrapped his arms around your head and despite how unexpected his appearance was, at that very instant, you couldn't help but feel safer in his embrace as well as thankful for his presence beside you. Enough for you to wrap your arms around him and hold on to him tightly enough to give him the impression that your life was depending on it.
