You have ever seen those commercials where people screw up the simplest tasks in the most idiotic fashion ever? Yeah, that's what basically happened here.

It wasn't supposed to be this serious. All I had to was one job. One freaking job that wasn't supposed to be THIS screwed.

The simple task, the one job, I was talking about was just to gather some information for the rumours to be proved true. Easy, right? Must be wondering where I screwed up? I must say, it was actually a easy task, but only one thing was that there was a small problem which I overlooked, and that small problem, was actually, the thing that screwed up the whole plan.

I was up against Jung Industries.

So what? It's nothing new, just another cliché story, but nah. I wouldn't be here if this was another cliché story of yours.

I ran upto the elevator of my office building, managing to get in before it closed. I was already late, I couldn't screw this up more. The nasty glares of the colleagues had no effect on me, but I knew it was only till a moment of time before it does start effecting me.

I was up against the most powerful industries on Earth. They were no joke. Jung Industries had half the South Korea's economy, as well as, power in their hands. Every famous brand in this country from a famous brand were actually the works of Jung Industries. They were behind every single famous thing in this country.

The elevator opened at the 25th floor, and I stepped out from the toxic atmosphere. A woman like me would never be handle such situations without snapping.

This snapping attitude of mine was another reason why I was so much in trouble. How much trouble? Trouble enough to end up my whole reporting career which I worked my ass for.

I almost fell on top of the reception counter, but balanced myself on time, and faced the receptionist. "I have a meeting with the boss." The receptionist nodded, and stood up, leading me towards the office of my boss.

Why? Why did I have to be so full of myself that I couldn't work properly?! This assignment was the only straw for me to step up in the higher positions in this channel company, yet, all I could see was everything I dreamed of slipping away from my hands like sand.

Straightening myself up, I knocked on the door twice, before stepping in. I felt a chill run down my spine, when I saw the severe expression on my boss' face.

He was ready. He knew I was gonna be here to face him, to clean up all the doubts. I took a sharp breath, and stepped further into the office, but before I could speak, he beat me to it.

"Proves, Miss Kim, not excuses." That cold tone, I knew he wasn't going to play around. I shakily took a breath this time, and spoke. "I have none. It seems like those were rumours, Sir."

The boss slammed his hands on the desk with a loud bang, making me flinch. I kept a straight face, my ego didn't let me weak in front if guys as usual. I could tell without even looking at him that he was fuming in anger.

"You mean," he snarled. "The most powerful CEO who is said to have had countless amount of women being sold to auctions illegally, is a fucking rumour?!"

The dread washed over me so badly, so terribly, that if someone said I was frozen like an ice, would be an understatement.

Human trafficking, and illegal auctions. I had been over the case for two months, but honestly, I couldn't see a single proof that lead to the rumours to be true.

But, women were missing, and being sold. It was rumoured to be under a extremely powerful authority.

So of course, the assumptions were lead to Jung Industries.

It was that either I was fooled, or they really were rumours. But for any of them to be true, I had to go through the same hell again.

Oh heck no.

"Miss Kim," I looked up to my boss, to see him rubbing the bridge of his nose. "Last chance." My heart dropped to my stomach. I knew what he was gonna say and where he was going. "I gave you a last chance when you failed to prove it the first time. Now,"

My eyes widened.

No. He wasn't gonna do what he was.

"It's time you pack your stuff. You are fired, Kim Suzy."

And the files from hands fell to the floor. My heart was beating so fast. I can't lose. No, I can never lose.

"Sir! Last chance--"

"You brought the name of our channel down as well, Suzy! How do you even expect me to keep a shameless women like you in my company?!"

What?

What did he just say?

Shameless women?

Who? Me?

I went blank by expression. I felt something within me snap, a loud snap, and the next thing I knew, a loud smack was heard.

Silence.

Shit. I just slapped my last chance away.

I didn't show any expression though, my ego and self-esteem was thoroughly hurt, and this bastard was gonna regret doing so.

"You man-hoe!" I snarled. He looked at me with wide eyes, shocked at the outburst. Oh what did he expect? A kiss? "How dare you call me a shameless women, when you yourself fuck the women in this building and cheat on your wife who loves you dearly?!"

My boss stuttered. I hit a nerve. Good, didn't plan on losing. "What did I do, huh?! I was caught by the most powerful industries on Earth and you expect me to make it out without a scratch?! My whole reputation has been torn and your stinky ass cares about your channel?! A channel that fakes up news?!"

I scoffed, eyes narrowing, and glaring at him so much, I knew he felt small by tge expression I was giving.

"I am Kim Suzy. I never lose to anyone, especially men. I may have been beaten, but guess what? I am gonna go for a round two, and this time, I am gonna win for sure! And you sucker, are gonna sit and watch. Stupid immature fu--"

Before I could continue throwing insults, the door to the office burst open and stepped in two men in suit. I looked at them suspiciously, then my eyes landed on the emblem on their blazer. My eyes widened.

Shit. Jung Industries.

The fact that I knew why exactly they were here, is also terrifying. Never the less, I glared at them. "Why are you guys here?"

"Sir Jung called for you, Miss. We are just following his orders." One of them spoke in a monotone voice. I seethed, "Yeah, go ahead and tell that bastard, I'm not his puppet. He can go and fuck himself for all I care."

Not gonna lie, I wasn't suprised when one of them threw me over their shoulder, and led me out the door. But then again, what bothered me was my ego. Staffs were staring at me with wide eyes of confusion and shock. Ignoring them, the two guards took me to the parking, where I started yelling.

I don't wanna see him!

"Listen, you little--Hey! That hurt!" They threw me in the orange Lamborghini Limo Lambo, and then drove me away from the building.

I screamed, when an arm wrapped around my waist, and pull me back into the darkness of the car, the night not helping at all with the lighting. Even so, without the lighting I could tell who it was.

Jung Hoseok, the very man behind my destruction of career, probably. The reason why I was slapping my boss, getting fired, and my reputation torn.

The anger, which was already at the peak point didn't help at all, as I moved around in his arms to be freed, but he was strong.

"Let. Me. Go." I snarled as I tried to break free, only to be pulled harshly and more close to him, my back against his chest.

The tinted glass that separated us from the driver's and passenger's area, was also sort of soundproof, and I was glad that other people didn't see me weak like this.

I soon stopped squirming around, when I felt his hot breath against my neck as he spoke, "Stop moving, Suzy."

Him. Only he had this control over my body, and I absolutely hated it. I could never fight against this control, and I wanted to hurl myself out of the windows.

His deep voice that sent shivers down my spine, his touches, his everything, was so toxic but addicting, you couldn't leave it even though you wanted to.

I was breathing heavily, too tired from the heavy drama. I was exhausted more mentally than physically at this point.

Because of him.

Because of Hoseok.

"Turn around." I did as he said and turned around to face him. My expression was blank, and his was too. But he did what I didn't expect, didn't want for him to do.

Hold me softly in his arms, craddle me, and then cup my face, to gaze into my eyes.

"What did he say?" He knew what happened. He asked anyway. "He called me a slut."

I swear the way his expression darkened, I knew he was more than angry. But did he realise he was the reason?

"What, Hoseok?" I chuckled humourlessly, "Didn't expect things to go this far?" Hoseok's expression darkened more. "You fucked up shit and then you get angry?!"

"It was your fault. You stepped in my world, Suzy. You should have left when you knew my world was more toxic than poison. You should have left when I asked you to. No one told you to stay."

"Oh?! So to take revenge of what I did, you ruin my whole career?!" I snarled. He leaned away, a cocky expression on his face. "One of us, was meant to drown, you or me. Let's not forget, Kim Suzy, your motive was to ruin me. Instead of you beating me, I beat you in your own game. I guess it's a fair match!" He chuckled.

"You played me, Hoseok." I spoke shakily, my voice and energy draining out. Shit, not now. He looked at me in the eyes. "You aren't the first."

"Have you ever been played though?" My question seemed to have struck him, cause he looked startled for a bit. "How about, we move on? And finally, try to be a perfect couple?"

My brain is working perfect if my body isn't.

"What?"

Got him. He knew I was right.

I leaned in closer to him, he didn't move or lean away, he simply stayed where he was.

"You and I both know how we feel about each other, lust, love, and lost. We are confused, we both hate each other as well, but we need each other too. Am I right?"

At this rate, Hoseok could sense I was feeling weak, cause I could see the slight furrowing of his brows. Never the less, he nodded to my words, letting me continue.

"So what do you say?" I hooked my arms around his neck, trying to control my breathing, not letting my problem be in my way. "Shall we try and be a couple? To see if things work out or not?"

He tilted his head to the side, looking deep into my eyes with his brown ones. "And what do I get out of it?"

Fucking bastard is too greedy and sharp. I bet he knows I'm upto something.

"Me." I smiled, of course not a genuine one. "You get me."

He smirked, and chuckled.

"Fair enough." He licked his lips, and continued. "I agree to your words. Let's try to be a couple, and become mine."

I smirked as well, knowing I had caught in my words. "Sure....Honey."

His smirk dropped and lust took over the emotions in his eyes. He kissed me, passionately, the air around us filled with toxic love and lust, our ambitions and motives just one, defeating one another. I let him kiss me, take over me, but not for long. It was about time he got taste of his own medicine.

I needed to defeat Jung Hoseok in his own game.

Things are going too fast for you all. Must be wondering, she was just cursing him a few minutes ago and here she is, kissing him. Things are not the way they seem like, the situation is way more complicated, way more jumbled in a way, I, myself, am confused.

My feelings, my brain, my emotions, all were a tangled mess along with his'.

But any how, this all fuckery started, when I stepped my foot in the office of Jung Hoseok.

His eyes. His eyes were what told me that day,

I was in a competition with hell itself.
