Chapter 52
A deep exhale escaped your lips once you stepped out of the dressing room, having put on your work uniform as carefully as possible in order to not mess up the wires that were tapped on your body. Wires that you were carrying from the moment you had left your house as Jimin had called Dongmin to bring him a set in order for him to be able to be with you no matter where you were to go.
"Can I look at the screen now or are you still changing?" His voice reached your ear through the earpiece you had hidden under your hair which you styled a bit differently today in order to cover that.
"I still can't believe I am going on with your crazy idea." You mumbled to the small mic that was hidden under the collar of your shirt as your hand fixed a bit the glasses which he made you put on since they allowed him to see through the cameras they had at the corners of the frame. Glasses that had no lenses and as such did not hinder your vision.
"You should be thanking me. Do you have any idea how much money you have on you right now? That stuff is expensive you know."Jimin smiled as he placed popcorn in his mouth, enjoying this little adventure he was having while his body was relaxed in bed.
"Well, you are the one who spends his money in such, to begin with. Seriously why do you have them to begin with? I don't get it." You questioned him as you walked towards the elevator with rapid steps, hoping to avoid meeting Miss Kwan anywhere anytime soon.
"I had DongMin spy on someone in an award show, last year. They proved worth their money so I kept them around." He replied nonchalantly till the elevator opened its doors and on his laptop screen appeared Miok which greeted you with a smile as you entered.
"You are on time today, I see." She commented and you laughed a bit, finding the fact that you being punctual had become such a thing of the past in merely some weeks time.
"Miracles happen, I guess."
"It's okay, don't worry about it. You will get back on track. We both know no one used to be more on time than you. It's just that now Miss Kwan complains about you 24/7 and uses you as a bad example to the newbies that everyone had associated being late with your name." She patted your back lightly as she explained and you left your tongue travel the inner part of your cheek, slightly annoyed with Miss Kwan's behaviour.
"This Miss Kwan sounds bitchy. Do you want me to find a way to fire her?" Jimin questioned you and you ignored him as you couldn't reply to him for the moment.
"It's okay, I don't mind it really. See you around Miok, Sonia is waiting~" You waved at her and stepped out of the elevator as soon as the door opened, leaving her supporting words to echo behind you briefly.
"Miss Kwan is my supervisor. You can't fire her." You finally responded to Jimin and he laughed as if you had spoken something absurd.
"Don't underestimate me. If I wanted there's nothing I can't do- Oh is that Sonia? Why didn't you tell me she was cute?" His voice became cheerful once Sonia stepped out of a room and walked near the cart, looking your way with a smile once she spotted you.
"Shut up, she is married." You replied in between your teeth right before greeting Sonia with enthusiasm.
"Someone's seems in a good mood. Did something happen?" She gave you a mischievous gaze and you just laughed for the only reason you got excited was overseeing her.
"Just happy to see you girl."
"As if. I am certain it has to do with the reason you were absent yesterday. Did you go to some blind date or something?" She nagged you playfully with her elbow and Jimin almost choked on his popcorn overhearing her words for he knew well what you were doing and it definitely was nothing close to a nice blind date.
"Well, it definitely wasn't a blind date, nor it was fun. Being around that guy somehow is always edgy."
"Oho~ so it was a guy! I knew it! He has been looking for you all day after all." Her statement made you give her a confused gaze as you asked her about what she meant by that.
"I don't know you met him but girl, you hit the jackpot. The actor Jeon Jungkook that has been staying at our hotel lately has been literally asking about you all day. He even requested that he will accept only you to clean his room." Sonia explained full of enthusiasm as she grabbed the schedule of the day which you two had, and unfolded it, in order to show you that besides his room number was assigned your name only.
"See, you will be his exclusive from today on. I heard around that he asked the new head manager himself." She whispered closer to your ear as you were left stunned from the information, then she left the paper on your palm and went on with her work for you both sure had a long list of rooms too clean before your shift was to come to an end.
"Exclusive? Did you do anything weird at his set that got his attention?" Jimin questioned you, as he found it weird that Jungkook would do such a thing. For as much as he knew the guy, he surely did not seem from the people that undertake actions without thought after all and if he was right that meant that behind this, was also something he was gonna use you for.
"I don't think so. He did recognize me and came to talk to me briefly, but there's no way he could know that I am involved with you or anything...Oh! I also witnessed something I most likely shouldn't have." You admitted as you grabbed some cleaning products from the cart and some cloth before heading down towards his room, intending to get over with this curiosity that his behaviour had created.
"Okay, we will take it easy then. This most likely has to do with his personal issues or he could also have developed a liking at you." Jimin's statement almost made you crack up for you definitely found that assumption more than absurd.
"Please, he is a celebrity. He is around some of the prettiest ladies there can be out there. Why would someone like that end up having an interest in someone like me."
" Who knows, maybe it's because you don't make us feel alienated. Being celebrities or not you tend to treat people casually. You don't freak out nor do you see us as a big deal. I don't know about him but I sure like you for that." His response sounded quite casual yet somehow you found yourself feeling some type of way.
"Do you ever get timid, I wonder? You either don't care if someone misunderstands your words or you purposely speak so boldly because you want them to misunderstand your words." You showcased your thoughts over his behaviour and confidence in stating his likes and dislikes, despite the fact that you hadn't really misunderstood him not even once so far. You actually liked the fact that he tended to be straightforward.
"Either outcome is gonna be fun for me. Besides no one should really take me seriously since I myself don't know fully my own emotions. I am playing with the people around me way less than my brain plays with me. I am definitely being generous."
"You are lucky that your arrogance comes off as funny otherwise..." You replied playfully as you stood before the door which you knocked on, without much hesitation, for having Jimin in your ear, made you feel less nervous and anxious than you could have been if you were to have been alone.
"Funny? Girl most people find my confidence attractive. Get at their side of the judgment please." You would have most likely cracked a smile at the way he was playing with words and turning everything the way he wanted if it wasn't for Jungkook that opened the door of his room, bringing your body to stiffen momentarily, once face to face with him.
"Room service." You uttered and to your surprise, he smiled, before making way for you to enter. A smile that was unusual for he had definitely been rather proper and cold so far friendly and polite yet not friendly enough to smile so widely at you as if he was happy to see you.
"I heard you requested for me personally to clean your room. I will take it as a compliment towards my work. Thank you." You replied you got by the table where you placed the cleaning products that you were carrying and left them there, aiming to start working immediately.
"Actually...I did that because I was in need to see you...alone." His words weren't something that you weren't expecting as surely he was gonna ask you to not speak of the scene you saw between him and that young lady back at the filming set.
"Worry not. Your business has nothing to do with me and whatever your relationship or the issues you may have with that lady are definitely problems I have no desire to mingle with. I give you my word, you have nothing to worry about as far as it concerns me and the things I unintentionally witnessed." You turned around and looked him right in the eyes as you spoke, intended to appear believable and trustworthy. Not that you were lying either way. You surely had written an article about this privately for practice but even if you wanted to go after the topic, you had nothing concrete at hand. The topic on its own sure seemed appealing however as the title 'Famous actor is being harrassed by x female' sure did not sound bad and if it wasn't for the mess you had at hand with Jimin, you might have made time to look more into this. Lucky him, the timing was definitely in his side and deep down you knew that you would most likely have ended up dropping this case too, just because he seemed in trouble enough already.
This soft heart of mine is gonna be the end of me, seriously. Agh!
You got annoyed over your own thoughts as you grabbed your gloves and started putting them on, getting ready to start cleaning for you had rested your mind that you had spoken all Jungkook may have wanted to say and as such he would most likely have nothing more important to add.
" I sure appreciate that but even if you were to start rumours, I wouldn't mind. It's the opposite actually." He got you by surprise as you lifted your eyes and met his again, soon witnessing a smirk taking over his lips.
"You were the only one that saw that and as such you are the only one to whom I can risk making this proposal."
"Oh, you about to get caught up in more trouble Y/N" Jimin's warning statement echoed in between the pause he took, as Jungkook gave a quick look at his surroundings then returned his attention to you again.
"Reporters will pay you well for such information and I will add up to that payment, so please could you go out there and make my issue go viral for me?"
His unexpected and absurd words echoed in your ears for quite a bit for never in your life you thought someone could ask you of such a thing. Mostly would try their best to hide anything that could get them in the public eye in an unclean manner for surely many questions were to rise once his problem was to go public. There will surely be people that would doubt if he was being harassed by her without a reason or what their relationship had been till this point. No matter how much he must be willing to get rid of that woman, his request was bound to hurt his reputation too and put him in a war for the was no way she would not make anything back to save her reputation.
It was really absurd how in the single month you have gotten yourself involved with someone that is trying to run away from scandals and one that is seeking one. Two completely opposites sides that strangely enough seemed to were expecting help from you of all people.
Life can sure get unpredictable.
