You stepped out of a room which you had just finished cleaning, leaving the sheets of the beds which you changed, on the pushcart along with the other dirty sheets and towels that had gathered from the previous rooms.

"This got filled up already. We need another one." Sonia exclaimed as she pushed it down the corridor, heading to the next room you had to clean up.

"Maybe one more room and I will get it down on the laundry room." You suggested and she nodded briefly before halting it on the next door in which you already knew that was empty and as such, you didn't hesitate to put the key card and open the door.

Sonia pushed the cleaning cart inside and you both started cleaning up the place in the usual routine till the moment came to wash up the bathroom which this time around was Sonia's job since you had done the previous one.

"Oh! I think I forgot the chlorine on the other room." Sonia said as she gazed at the products on her cleaning card and her sight didn't fall on the one she was looking for.

"I will get it for you." You offered but she shook her head and grabbed the changed sheets on the floor and landed them in your arms.

"You go empty the cart, I will get it." She told you and then left to do as she said, making you proceed to act too as time was too precious to waste on discussing over small matters. Work had to be done in time and it had to be done well and thankfully, you and Sonia had good communication and never really got into each others way while working, ending up doing a good job and without anyone being annoyed by anyone.

You pushed the cart till the elevator that was to be used only by staff members and then pressed the button for it to come to you , which thankfully didn't took long since someone seemed to have been already going down.

"Hey Miok. How is it going?" You greeted your coworker as soon as the elevator opened its doors and she along with her cart full of clothes, came to view.

" Boring and tiring as always. Are you off to the laundry room too? "Miok questioned you as you got inside and the elevator closed behind you .

" Where else would I be going with all these? Certainly not for a walk."You replied and Miok smiled at you finding your humour quite entertaining to her.

" Leave it to me. Since i am going there anyways. I will take your cart too and bring it to you once I empty it. In Which floor will you be?" Miok offered and You hesitated a bit to accept as you knew that it would add up to her and it would be more difficult to push two carts from the elevator to the laundry room.

" I don't want to burden - " You made up your mind quickly and were ready to reply but the elevator halting to another floor, made you keep your words to yourself for a moment, thinking that you soon needed to welcome another coworker but to your surprise, as the door slid open, instead of any maid that you were expecting, you saw the man from yesterday.

He greeted you both with a smile and entered, hitting the sixth floor which made you glance at him unintentionally and he so happened to catch your gaze.

"Oh! Is this for staff only? I got confused. Sorry." He rubbed the back of his head as he displayed an embarrassed behaviour which You didn't believe much.

"It's okay Sir. Don't worry about it. It's normal to get confused in such a big building " Miok reassured him politely and You just glanced down. Suspicions growing inside you .

Confused? As if. It's literally writes 'for staff only' right above the elevator.

You thought as you grew sure that he was using it only for one reason and that was so he wouldn't be seen much by other customers.

"Miok, thanks for taking my cart. Bring it up at the fifth floor. I will be there." You told your coworker and she nodded as the elevator finally stopped to the last floor and You helped her get the carts out, before you entered the space again and stood silently with the man you were planning to spy on, as soon as you get out of his sight.

---Change of set---

DongMin kept observing Jimin from afar as his behavior had started becoming suspicious and worrying for him from that moment in the van where he had placed his breakfast aside and had fallen quite in the back seat.

At the beginning, he had thought that sleepiness might have caught up to him however that doesn't last long on his face, especially if he was to step out in the public eye where no matter what his condition may have been, he always puts up the best of fronds.

It wasn't that Jimin wasn't doing that this time too but it just wasn't in the exceptional level DongMin was used to seeing him cover his emotions, or it may be the simple fact that he had grew to know him enough to know when something was off with him.

The director shouted to cut the scene for the third time, making DongMin look at Jimin with wide eyes. He never had difficulties to concentrate before to this extent. He had never been so off his role while that plate would have reached his ears, informing him that it was action time.

Jimin was exceptional in his work and was infamous for the way he manages to get under the skin of his characters and bring them to live so vividly, as if it was not an actor standing before them playing someone's role but it was the character itself. There were many people that often got goosebumps seeing him acting and through his job as his manager,DongMin had seen him only once being in a similar situation like this.

Looking as if he was lost. Like an amateur that was unaware of how to get into his role.

Jimin apologised and bowed his head before looking the director in the eyes and then letting his gaze travel to DongMin, which for some reason suddenly felt an uneasy feeling rising inside him.

He composed himself again and closed his eyes and around him, he felt the world freezing. Jimin's breath felt icy as he inhaled and his fingertips started transforming into rocks from which he could not feel anything. His thoughts were caught up into an entangling mess as he tried to force himself to concentrate and enter his character, living behind all the anxious and sad thoughts that had overtook him since the moment he had read that message of hers.

The voice of the director speaking the words of action, echoed so distantly in his ears and he felt the red string being pulled inside him, making him open his eyes, now as a new person. As the character he was supposed to be while those cameras were rolling.

Everyone started chatting lowly about the immediate change in the atmosphere that he brought and how astonished they were that he got so deep into the character in a blink of an eye. It was creepy and scary to some but they just praised it in amusement, while DongMin remained unsettled with this sudden depth in his acting.

Of course Jimin was a great actor and if he hadn't lived through that night he might have believed it was just good acting too but because now he had something to compare it with, he couldn't help but keep thinking that something wasn't right. And he was told to do only one thing, if the emergency moment comes.

A moment that had been mentioned to him yet never fully explained to what it was or how he was to distinguish it. However unlike the first time that he had failed to notice it till it got too late, now he is gonna trust his gut.

DongMin quickly took some steps away and took his phone out of his pocket and called the person Jimin had told him to call if ever something was to be wrong with him.

"Mr. SeokJin?.. I am DongMin.. I am afraid that something is wrong."

He spoke hesitantly and once the line cut off in a hurry from the other side, he understood that he had done the right thing.
