Chapter 8

The breeze was so softly brushing your hair as you stared out at the city, filled with lights that made the night that had fallen, look less dark. In your mind, many things were going on, the confusion of your thoughts and the rush of them, resembling the roads that you were looking at from the rooftop of the hotel, where you were standing at.

The world sure seemed too small at that instance as well as somehow dirty. How come that people like Mrs. And Mr. Yoon seem to be way too many around? And why had that somehow disappointed you a bit.

It was true that you shouldn't be surprised and you weren't that much but still you couldn't help but feel sad about the fact that many people around you, seemed so less human to your eyes, every day more.

What those two were doing to that actor was clearly not right yet you weren't sure if there was anything you could do nor you were sure if you should do anything to begin with. This was one more thing that doesn't involve you after all and since it has nothing to do with you, maybe it would be better to mind your own business as you had done in the past relating to any secret you were to find.

However no secret damaged someone in so many levels as this one would probably damage that actor. If he really loves her that is. But well you definitely couldn't be sure of anything and anyone especially after all the things that you had witnessed today. Trusting that anyone was nice or was on the right or the wrong was just to complicated of a decision to make while in such unclear situations.

What am i thinking? This has nothing to do with me. I better just mind my own business and focus on my article.

You told yourself in your head as you turned around to leave from the rooftop in which you had stayed for some minutes after you had finished your shift and had changed your clothes.

You should have left immediately for your house as always however you felt a bit too tired to head out immediately and that's why you took a moment of silence on one of the many benches that occupied the rooftop.

Usually the place is filled with customers that come and go, alone or with company, to enjoy the view and the nice atmosphere the rooftop had but tonight no one seemed to be around, probably because of the weather .

It was a bit too chilly for anyone to prefer to be on an outer environment at such hour after all.

You passed by the door of the rooftop and down the small hall that send you to the elevator which to your surprise had its doors open, as if someone had just gotten out of it, but if that was so, where did that someone go if not the rooftop?

You couldn't help but hesitate to get inside and leave as your gaze traveled at your right where a door existed. It was a room that it's mostly locked as it contains objects and extra furniture that are pulled out only if the hotel happens to be in need of a sudden increase of chairs, beds, or even kitchen equipment.  As far as you were aware, all the objects in there were new and were dusted once a month so they were to be kept clean.

You had happened to clean in there five times in the years you have been working in this hotel and honesty you didn't like it much cause that place was bigger than someone may imagine and pretty packed as well.

I will give it just a quick look.

You thought as you took the decision to go and check if that door was open and if indeed some staff was there but as soon as you reached on the doorstep, you hesitated to place your hand on the door handle .

You weren't sure why you were hesitant but for some reason there was a strange feeling inside you. A feeling that didn't made you uneasy enough to actually keep you away for long.

You softly placed your hand on the knob and pressed down then you pushed to open the door that actually was unlocked. You slightly opened the door and left your head to peak inside, seeing a light that was coming from somewhere further in that room.

It wasn't strong enough so it definitely wasn't the light of the room but it rather looked like some flash light or it could even be coming from a mobile device. Non the less it made you step inside and slowly close the door behind you a bit.

However which each step, you could hear noises that you weren't able to hear before and soon after you had approached enough, you were able to witness where those sounds were coming from.

There was Mrs.Yoon making out on a desk with the unknown guy that had put the camera on the room that day which was the one that was with her and Mr. Yoon earlier in that other room, talking about the blackmailing pressure they were planning to do on that actor.

The sight even though unexpected didn't actually surprise you much . You weren't expected much good from her after all the things you got to know about her so far. But it sure made you feel a bit angry at how she seemed to be playing her game.

It was just unfair and she definitely didn't deserve to get her way. Or at least that's how you felt and thought at that moment, while your eyes happened to fall at her bag, that was abandoned on the floor.

You quietly kneeled down and crawled till there, hoping that she still carried that camera around and as soon as you got hold of her bag and slowly opened it, you discovered that indeed it was there.

I suppose when something is important, you want it to be on your sight all the time for you to be safe.

You  thought as you proceed to delete the footage of her with the actor that was saved in the camera. Of course she may have kept some copies of it, but for now that wasn't important. Because she won't be the only one that will have footage in her possession.

You quietly took your phone out of your pocket and filmed the two for some minutes then smoothly got out of there and into the elevator, which soon took you out of there.

At least that guy will have something in his hands to counter them with, if needed.

You thought as you had already decided that this video had to reach to that actor no matter what and open his eyes.

The only obstacle for you to send that to him was that you didn't know his personal contact details but you were determined to solve that somehow. You knew so many people after all and you knew their dirtiest secrets as well so someone definitely would do something as simple as getting you the contact of a celebrity, for you. In a legal way or not.

And after that, your consciousness would be at ease. Cause you helped him open his eyes and not get fooled by those people. And maybe like that, it wouldn't matter to him or it wouldn't hurt him much when you were to publish that article about his scandal of dating a married woman. Or so you liked to believe, in that moment.

How he would handle this situation wasn't non of your business. If he would end up paying them to hush them or not. And if after you publish that footage it would feel like his try to cover it up had went to waste. This was too good of an information to drop and till now you have really dropped a lot.

The elevator finally let you free on the lobby and you steadily approached towards the exit, while trying to ignore those subtle whispering thoughts that were nagging you.

Telling you that if you were to do that, you wouldn't be any better than those people and that you would be behaving just as inhuman as them.

It was frustrating, how your thoughts never seemed to be easy on you and you scoffed in irritation as you stepped outside and were greeted by the chilly breeze.

Why did you have to be like that? It wasn't your fault that people went and got themselves in such situations to begin with so why can't you just expose them for it? Why was it so difficult to keep yourself from thinking about the other perspective and put yourself in someone else's shoes?

Oh great. Here i go again. Gosh.

You ruffled your hair in annoyance as you kept walking with irritation visible in your eyes till you happened to reach to that advertising poster of the magazine you desired to work for which had the actor on its cover page.

You looked at it as you always do but this time, your focus wasn't on the brand name of the magazine but on the actor. Park Jimin.

A man you didn't really know much but from the videos you had seen of him on YouTube while in search to find what kind of person he was, he sure didn't seem as a bad person.  Even the secret you knew about him, didn't made him exactly a bad person. If it was to leave an impression that would probably be that he was blinded and fooled by love.

You weren't sure if he knew or not that Mrs. Yoon was married but with all the things that were going on, it didn't matter much cause she definitely was digging a big hole for him behind his back. He indeed seemed like a victim but at the same time, his case was by far the most interesting and beneficial scandal that had ever fallen in your path.

It may sound egoistic but you really felt eager to get to that dream of yours and that was the reason you were having such a big dilemma right that instant. It wasn't your fault that he messed up nor anyone could tell you anything because you were simply transmitting the truth. However it kept feeling unfair, enough to make you sad while standing there and looking at his face.

I can't give up on it this time. I have worked so hard and have dreamed of this job for so long.

You spoke inwardly to his picture as if you were hoping for him to understand but as soon as you took some steps away from the poster, you couldn't help but halt your feet again and lower your head.

You fists gathered up at the sides of your body and you stood there for a bit as thoughts were running wild in your head, then you turned around and went back to the poster and pointed at him with an angry expression.

"Fine! I will do this right. I will judge you right. But if you prove to be deserving of being exposed. I won't hesitate. I swear!" You talked loudly to it, getting some attention of the passersby that found you strange but you didn't care.

As now there were knew thoughts running in your head. Thoughts of how to get closer to that actor, enough so that you would be able to get to know,whom he really was as a person.
