"Then if you were me, would you want you?" Somi turned around and asked emotionally. After asking, she felt she had been too impulsive.

Sometimes, when faced with love, she would lose all common sense. No matter how many times she got taught a lesson, she would not learn from her mistakes.

Suho turned his head and looked at Somi before answering in a serious tone (with no trace of his usual playfulness), "No one will want someone that continually doubts themselves."

Suho always provided strong answers and this time was no different.

He used a roundabout way to point out that Somi's current state wasn't great. At the same time, he also avoided answering Somi's difficult question by playing Chess around it. It wasn't a matter of whether he wanted someone like her. Instead, in her current state, no man would want someone that doubted themselves like that.

Somi almost forgot Suho's identity at Kim Entertainment was both the Artists Director and PR Director. His responses had always been unquestionable, making it impossible for others to argue against him.

So, she let out a laugh before sitting quietly for the rest of the car ride.

She didn't like the feeling of uncertainty and didn't like to hide things. Most importantly, she was scared. She had been scared for a long time.

Perhaps, he felt the car had been quiet for too long, so Suho cleared his throat before saying, "You're home..."

"In that case, thank you. No need to walk me to the door..." As soon as she finished talking, Somi got ready to leave the car. However, Suho suddenly did something that surprised even himself. He leaned over and stopped Somi by the hand before explaining in a serious tone, "I helped Kyra up, but...I never thought of her as a woman."

Somi was stunned for a moment; she was surprised that Suho had actually tried to explain things to her. So, she was also not in her right mind as she asked, "Then, who do you think of as a woman?"

Suho let go of Somi , "...."

Somi glared at Suho for a second before opening the door and stepping out of his car.

Suho gave a slight laugh as he waved goodbye to Somi before driving away from the apartment.

As for Somi, although her anger hadn't been completely subdued, at least Suho explained himself to her.

However, it was quite tiresome to tread lightly around each other...

Meanwhile, she couldn't help thinking about the classmate that introduced her to Brott. Did she do it on purpose, or not?

If it was on purpose, then she was quite a conniving person.

In the end, Somi decided not to tell Y/N about how the 'potential date' had turned into an interception by Suho. She wanted to keep it to herself...

The next morning at Hannam Dong.

Whenever Y/N had no jobs scheduled, she would personally pick out clothes for Taehyung.

So, at this moment, Taehyung was standing practically naked in front of the wardrobe mirror as Y/N brought him one outfit after another.

Taehyung ended up wasting half an hour on this. But, seeing Y/N's expression of enjoyment, he decided to dotingly comply.

"I have something to do tonight, afterward I will head directly to the banquet from there. Chanyeol will come pick you up so we can meet at the entrance and head in together."

Y/N was in the middle of helping Taehyung do up his buttons. Seeing Taehyung's perfect body, she couldn't help but be reminded of his scrawny opponent. Although she didn't want others to see her husband's body, if one single glance could guarantee instant victory, it wouldn't be much of a loss, right?

Taehyung lowered his head and looked at the expression on Y/N's face. Actually, Y/N didn't need to say anything for him to already know what she was thinking...

He was well experienced at witnessing his lover being insulted. Every time it happened, he'd feel like spewing up blood from all the vented up anger. It was because of this understanding that he didn't want Y/N to suffer because of him.

"All good?"

Y/N nodded her head as she stood on her tiptoes and placed a habitual bite on Taehyung's shoulder. This was a secret gesture between the couple. Regardless of whether Y/N was happy or sad, she would bite him like this.

At the same time, regardless of whether Taehyung was hurt inside or not, it would not show on his face. He simply pulled Y/N into his embrace and placed a kiss on her forehead before putting on his jacket and leaving their home in a satisfied manner.

Y/N stood by the window and watched as Taehyung's car pulled away. She placed her hand upon her racing heart. She didn't understand why, even after so long, as long as she was with Taehyung, her heart rate would increase like they were still newlyweds.

As she turned around, Y/N spotted the entertainment newspaper sitting on top of the table. As she thought about the shamelessly boastful Jae-min, she felt slightly unhappy.

Tonight, he was Taehyung's opponent. As for Y/N, her competition tonight were the model twins.

However, to Y/N, she didn't expect much from them.

The meeting this time was aimed at calling a truce between the two parties, so it was expected that the media would be present. But, according to the Taehyung that Y/N knew, he would definitely get revenge before calling a truce.

So, she suddenly felt a sense of anticipation for tonight's meeting. But, as the thought of Taehyung's second uncle came to her mind, she felt a little anxious.

That afternoon, Y/N was getting ready at home when Rose brought over some news to Hannam Dong, "Y/N, I heard people from the gay social circles have been making phone calls to Kim Entertainment. This is all because of that jerk from Star King!"

"Since you know he is a jerk, then all we have to do is give him a slap in the face. There's no need to feel bothered by him." After speaking, Y/N tried on a simple Hanbok.

As soon as Rose saw her, she froze in awe, "Y/N, I don't see you wear Hanboks often...it's really beautiful on you."

Y/N was still a little anxious as she adjusted the Hanbok on her body, "Do I look too proper?"

"Since you will be meeting an elder, your outfit is just right..." Rose nodded in approval. "I must say, my brain will always lose to yours. You always make the right choices. The older generation has always been strong on patriotism. With the sight of you, you don't know how nostalgic you will make them feel."

"Would it be too deliberate?"

"You weren't even this nervous when you appeared on the runway of a top brand," Rose glanced at her and comforted, "You honestly look perfect."

This time, even Taehyung didn't expect Y/N to wear a Hanbok. Even though he knew his wife was always switched on.

7pm. The sky was dark while snow drifted from the skies.

Inside the high-class venue, the Jae family and Taehyung's second uncle had already arrived on time. As for Taehyung, he was running about 10 minutes late.

Second Master Kim quickly explained, "Because of the snow outside, I heard there is quite a bit of traffic. That's why he is late."

Father Jae smiled casually, "That's a common issue. I don't mind waiting for a little."

On this occasion, Jae-min did not bring his flirtatious model twins, he simply stood around looking impatient. He knew deep down that Taehyung was deliberately late and wanted to make them wait.

Inside the banquet hall, apart from the two families, there was also a whole heap of reporters standing at the entrance. This entire banquet was just for show and Jae-min felt he had merely spoken the 'truth'; Taehyung was 32-years-old and had never been with a woman, who knew whether he was really interested in men?

Quarter past seven, Y/N wrapped herself in a black coat and arrived at the high-class venue with Chanyeol.

Taehyung had also just arrived. As soon as he saw his beloved wife, he grabbed her hand and hooked it on his arm, "Don't be nervous. In a moment, I'll do all I can to please you."

"Look, he's here," Father Jae smiled as he watched Taehyung and Y/N enter the hall. He then gestured for Jae-min to stand up.

Second Master Kim also spotted Taehyung, but his eyes did not remain on him. After all, he had already seen his face for many decades; it wasn't anything new. Instead, he placed his eyes on the woman by his side, Y/N.

At first glance, this young lady felt quite cold but she didn't seem arrogant; she was quiet with a non-intimidating gaze. Those around her naturally felt comfortable.

Originally, the entire family had expected this nephew of his to remain a bachelor forever. Who would have thought he'd finally be awoken.

However, would someone from the entertainment industry be clean?

"Come sit. Were you stuck in traffic?" Second Master Kim immediately asked.

He originally thought, no matter what reason Taehyung had for being late, he would create an excuse for him: traffic. However...

Taehyung pulled out the chair like a gentleman and helped Y/N sit before pulling out his own chair and replying, "There was no traffic."

Second Master Kim's expression changed. Meanwhile, Jae-min and Father Jae's expression wasn't any better.

Y/N glanced at Second Master Kim and back at Taehyung. She noticed the smirk on Taehyung's face and quickly responded, "I am so sorry. I was the one stuck in traffic. Taehyung was only late because he was waiting for me. I feel really bad for having made you all wait."

As soon as Second Master Kim heard this, his face warmed up before he looked approvingly at Y/N.

At this time, Taehyung grabbed Y/N's hand under the table, rubbed it a few times and buried it in his palm.

Y/N understood Taehyung had done this on purpose to give her a chance to perform and gain a good impression.

"It's no big deal," Father Jae waved his hand. He then pointed at Y/N and said to Second Master Kim, "I know who this young lady is. She's been in the news quite often lately."

On the surface, Father Jae seemed to be praising Y/N's popularity and fame. But, in reality, he was trying to hint that she wasn't someone simple.

After hearing Father Jae's words, Second Master Kim asked Taehyung, "You know about this?"

"Of course."

"Good," Second Master Kim completely trusted Taehyung's judgment. Since he had brought her to such an important meeting, she definitely meant something to him. It wasn't easy for Taehyung to dispose of the single life, so Second Master Kim wasn't going to let her escape.

As a result, he decided to put in a few good words for Y/N, "It's normal for young people to be fresh and vigorous. Of course, compared to Jae-min, we still have a long way to go."

In other words: 'How dare you ridicule my niece-in-law when your son changes three women a day?'

In actual fact, the two elders were merely here to put on a show. In the world of business, a sword had no eyes. They had already hurt each other so many times, there was no way they could truly be friends.

Of course, Father Jae was rendered speechless by Second Master Kim. After quite some time, he finally returned to the main topic, "I feel really bad that Jae-min couldn't keep his mouth shut and has created trouble for Taehyung..."

"Old Man Jae, did you think everything would be forgiven just because you said you 'feel bad?'" Taehyung asked.

"President Kim, if you have the ability, you should go prove yourself to the media. Was it necessary for you to complain to my father?" Jae-min asked with a frivolous tone and arrogant attitude. It appeared he had no intention to apologize. Of course, Taehyung wasn't here to get an apology from him either.

"Shut your mouth!" Father Jae roared at Jae-min angrily, "Apart from playing with women all day, what else can you do?"

"I don't understand. Does Star King need to be suppressed by Kim Entertainment?"

"It seems President Jae has his objections," Taehyung looked at the father and son as he lifted his eyebrows. At this time, Second Master Kim did not intend to step in, he just wanted to concentrate on watching the show.

"Let's compete, so you can prove to me that you are a real man?" Jae-min squinted lazily at Taehyung.

"Let's do it then," Taehyung replied swiftly.

"What do you want to compete with me against?"

"Since we have everything we need here, then let's compete for one thing at a time. I'll let you decide on the challenge. We will have 5 rounds. As long as you win one, I'll consider you the victor."

Victory with one win!

Let's not mention Jae-min, even Y/N was a little surprised by Taehyung's offer. Victory with one win; how much disdain and shame did this represent?

Jae-min's face turned red as he stood up from his seat, "Since we are men, we should speak with our fists. The first round, let's compete in boxing."

"You asked for it..." Taehyung gave a refined smile.

"A word of warning though, I plan to let the media in," Second Master Kim pointed to the furiously photo-snapping reporters.

Originally, Second Master Kim thought Taehyung would disagree. But, he instead answered in an unexpected way, "Up to you." He then stood up and pulled Y/N up with him, "In 10 minutes, I'll see you in the boxing ring. Let's go get ready."

"Just because you are getting ready, why do you need to take..." Second Master Kim looked at the couple and questioned.

Taehyung's expression remained composed as he lifted an eyebrow, "I need her."

After speaking, he led Y/N towards the boxing stadium, disregarding the media at the entrance.

Second Master Kim turned around and sighed. He suddenly realized, his normally emotionless nephew had this other side of him - what a shock.

Jae-min watched as the couple left. He then stood up and also headed for the stadium.

"Should we go too?" Second Master Kim said to Father Jae.

"Let's go have a look."

In actual fact, Father Jae was also curious how his son compared to others.

Not long after, the reporters were led into the boxing stadium to become the audience for the fight.

"The only reason Kim Entertainment is being so open today is because they want to clear up the rumors, right?"

"What rumor is he trying to clear with boxing? From my point of view, when has President Kim ever lost? Previously, the netizens discussions were saying that President Jae's body is perfect. I have a feeling President Kim is going to show us all his body."

"But, he's never been this childish."

"Then how do you explain what we see before us?"

The reporters located their photography vantage points and whispered amongst themselves. They were right, Taehyung wasn't usually this childish. But, this was before Y/N said one simple thing.

When she said that...

...she didn't want to see him get devalued...

Sometimes, when life got too boring, bringing one's wife out to play could increase the level of enjoyment. Especially when one could...

...teach a jerk a lesson.

Inside the change room, Y/N looked at Taehyung's naked upper-body. Her face involuntarily turned red, "I don't want others to see it..."

"It's OK, they can only look. From now on, they can merely drool!"

Boxing was an athletic sport as well as an art form. It required powerful muscle strength, strong psychological warfare and strenuous physical activity.

A standard boxing match required 5 rounds; each round lasting 2 minutes, until one of the competitors get knocked out for 10 seconds. The one left standing is the winner.

Taehyung wasn't in the mood to endure multiple rounds with Jae-min. So, the two men agreed to just one round.

While Taehyung was still in the change room, Jae-min swiftly wrapped his hands in bandages and put on his boxing gloves. In order to prove that a match was of a high caliber, professional boxers usually didn't wear helmets nor armor. So, Jae-min also didn't to put any on. He simply appeared in front of everyone wearing a pair of shorts and soft-soled shoes.

Jae-min's body wasn't bad, his arms and legs were toned and his muscles were well sculpted; he was definitely stronger than the average man. However, his skin was pale like a delicate woman; the reason why Taehyung called him scrawny.

Even though Taehyung called him scrawny, he still received a huge round of applause and endless cheers as soon as he appeared in the ring.

Afterwards, Jae-min did some warm-up exercises in the ring. He seemed to enjoy being praised and admired by others. Even if he wasn't the heir to Star King, he would have still pursued the path of a famous superstar. Only then could he enjoy the attention that a normal person never experienced.

Both the Kim and Jae elders sat amongst the audience. Upon seeing his son, Father Jae thought to himself: This brat. Even though he often plays with women, at least he hasn't neglected his body. He actually looks pretty good!

Meanwhile, Second Master Kim sat next to Father Jae deep in thought, with his arms crossed. He was thinking about the last time Taehyung had thrown a punch; it had already been a decade ago. Back then, all it took was one punch to give his opponent a concussion. Now that 10 years had passed, he wasn't as young and fit as before. It was expected that he wouldn't use as much force. If he was to seriously injure Jae-min, how would he compensate the Jae family?

"Why hasn't President Kim appeared yet?"

"To be honest, President Jae's body is quite good."

"Did you truly think that he was just a simple rich heir?"

After hearing the discussions behind him, Father Jae suddenly felt quite proud. Although Star King had been suppressed by Kim Entertainment for years, if his son managed to beat Taehyung in terms of physique, it would be considered as a win nonetheless and would satisfy his pride.

"You people, it's obvious you don't work out, or else why would you think this body is considered good. You just wait and see!"

"But, I've never seen President Kim work out much..."

"Sorry to say, every single villa in Hannam Dong contains its own gym. Did you think you would have the honor of seeing him work out?"

Second Master Kim couldn't stand the noisy chatter around him, so he cleared his throat, hinting for the reporters to watch what they were saying; couldn't they see the two elders sitting there? Everyone quietened down.

Not long after, two figures entered the boxing stadium...

Originally, with the glare of the light behind them, their faces couldn't be seen clearly. But, after Taehyung and Y/N entered the stadium, the audience roared with excitement. Some people even stood up subconsciously.

Everyone scanned over every inch of Taehyung's body in disbelief, like they were afraid they'd miss out if they didn't look carefully...

His firm and well-proportioned 8-pack abs were sculpted like a Westerner's body; his arms were strong and his fists were full of power. On top of everything, his skin was bronze and full of masculinity...

The reporters looked at Taehyung's body in a daze. They almost forgot the camera in their hands.

"Oh God! Isn't this too perfect? How many men would die for a body like this?"

"This is too shocking. Hurry, snap some photos!"

"Would you believe that Jae-min won't be able to handle even one punch from President Kim?"

"After seeing President Kim's body, I suddenly feel that Jae-min looks a little like a woman!"

After hearing the various opinions, Jae-min glared at Taehyung who was approaching him...He suddenly felt his body burn up in a fiery pain!

Online, most people voted that his body was better than Taehyung's, and he accepted the results proudly. He had never imagined Taehyung's body would be this good. Wasn't he renowned for being a workaholic?

He looked at Taehyung and then looked back at himself...

Jae-min suddenly felt like running away. Looking at Taehyung's muscly arms, he expected the force from Taehyung's punch would definitely be shocking.

Y/N followed behind Taehyung. On her arm, hung Taehyung's black coat. Of course, from the reactions of the people present, she could already see who was going to win. Who told Jae-min to have such a cheap mouth? Now, he deserved to be a sandbag for Taehyung.

Second Master Kim looked at Taehyung admiringly. Who would have thought, after 10 years, his body was still in such great shape. In fact, it was even better than before.

On the other hand, Father Jae's face turned from red to white. He was beginning to worry whether Jae-min would be able to stand back up after even one punch from Taehyung.

"Quick, snap a few more photos. How many men in Seoul have a body like this? Quick!"

"Haha, just the thought of it is so satisfying. The people that voted for President Jae are going to swell from this huge face slap. How could such a masculine man be gay? Quit joking!"

"Haiz...I really wish I was as lucky as Y/N and be able to simply hold clothes for him."

"Talking about Y/N, what is going on with them? Have they swapped roles?"

The audience contained an atmosphere of excitement, especially when Taehyung entered the ring.

Jae-min automatically took a few steps back. He was cautious but also unwilling to admit defeat.

Taehyung looked at Jae-min before wrapping his hands in bandages, "If you want to admit defeat, you still have time. Let me give you a warning, 10 years ago someone took a hit from me and is still in the hospital to this day."

If Taehyung said these words while he was still dressed, Jae-min would have definitely burst out laughing. But, Taehyung was currently standing half naked in front of him, overflowing with hormones and power; he didn't dare to underestimate him.

Jae-min looked at his opponent and back at himself. In the end, he admitted defeat before the fight even started, "I give up."

He still had 4 more chances. He refused to believe that Taehyung would be advantageous in all of them!

Especially when it came to eating, drinking and entertainment, could anyone be better than him?

As soon as Taehyung heard the words 'I give up', he pointed to Y/N and said, "You probably can't even beat her...I do feel like I am being a bully by being up here. I'll try my best to go easy on you next round."

Jae-min looked at Y/N and scoffed, "There's no way President Kim can continue to win."

"Let's wait and see."

Jae-min turned around and jumped out of the boxing ring. Upon returning to Father Jae's side he looked a bit ashamed. However, this outcome was better than being beaten and humiliated.

"I never imagined that young fellow had so many hidden talents. What do you plan on competing against next round? Bring out your strengths. I'm sure a goody-two-shoes like him won't be able to compete!" Father Jae replied.

Father Jae categorized Taehyung as a goody-two-shoes because his own son was well known for being a rich player.

Jae-min enjoyed the attention and endless supply of women that the entertainment industry provided him. But, he was absolutely not suited to a position of power. Because apart from arrogance and a know-it-all attitude, he had nothing else to bring to the table.

Second Master Kim suddenly felt Taehyung was being a bit cruel. Jae-min was born into a life of privilege and had always been treated like a precious treasure; no one ever went against him. Unfortunately for him, there was someone called Taehyung.

The media immediately placed the photos they shot online.

In the end, the so-called 'truce banquet', started off with a battle. Of course, this wasn't the netizens' main focus. Everyone was instead drawn to Taehyung's attractive body!

Yes, that's right, his body!

All that could be heard were multiple slaps across the face. With Taehyung's heavenly physique, could a scrawny body compare?

"Wipe my bloody nose, my HP is low! God...this body is enough to instant kill Jae-min a thousand times over..."

"The commenter above, calm down...I've already compared this body to all the male models in the industry and couldn't find any better. The only comparable ones are athletes!"

"God, who claimed that President Kim didn't have a fit body? I'm so angry. They made me stand on the wrong side."

"According to experts, this body can't possibly be gay. He is so attractive and overflowing with testosterone..."

The internet was in an uproar. Originally, there were still a few people that supported Jae-min, but they had now changed their preference to Taehyung. Not only this, Taehyung's sexy photo was finally revealed, making him the fitness role model for many people and becoming their long-term goal.

Of course, this was also Rose's first time at seeing Taehyung's body. Apart from Y/N and Chanyeol, she was the person that came in contact with him the most. But, before seeing the photo, she couldn't imagine that Taehyung's body was good to this extent.

"God, my nose is going to bleed!"

After putting down her phone, Rose glanced at Chanyeol. She tried hard not to imagine his body.

"Don't worry, although my body isn't as great as the President's, it is at least better than the scrawny guy!"

Rose laughed slightly and put down her phone with a satisfied expression. Let's see how the supporters of Jae-min continue to spout words of insult.

A while later, Rose retrieved her phone. After spotting Y/N standing below the ring waiting for Taehyung, she couldn't help but tease the couple on the screen, "Look at our poor Y/N. She worked so hard to get to where she is today. However, someone dared to come along and insult Boss. Luckily, our married couple's hearts are bound together."

"So, my heart and yours isn't bound together?"

Rose stared at him proudly, "That's different..."

"However, I am sure that you had a crush on me first."

Rose: "I feel regretful now. Especially after seeing Boss' body..."

Chanyeol: "If you continue like this, you will lose your boyfriend."

Rose smiled as she buried herself in Chanyeol's embrace. To be exact, she forcefully occupied his space.

Inside the high-class venue, they had already changed locations.

Everyone felt it was a pity that they didn't get to see Taehyung raise a fist. How dominating would he have been?

Y/N accompanied Taehyung as he changed back into his suit. She then helped him put on his coat, "I feel regretful as predicted. If I had known the result would be like this, I wouldn't have let you expose yourself. Now there are wolves everywhere, out to get you. What should I do?"

"But, the only one capable of taking a bite of me is you," Taehyung lowered his hand and hooked his finger with Y/N's pinky, "If you start to feel bored, let me know. I will directly beat him."

"No, I'm actually quite curious what you will be competing in next." After speaking, Y/N held onto Taehyung's hand and led him out of the changeroom.

Of course, she was merely here to accompany Taehyung today.

So, even if the reporters captured a photo of Y/N, it was either of her holding onto his coat or standing quietly by his side. The couple did not do anything overly affectionate, but watching them not leaving each other's side was enough to feed them a round of dog food.

After getting changed, the couple returned to the main hall. The media were temporarily blocked out because Taehyung dealt too much damage not too long ago.

Without the flashing cameras, Y/N finally relaxed. It wasn't because she was afraid...it was because she was worried she wouldn't be able to hold back the admiration she had towards Taehyung.

She was worried if the media were to figure something out she would be exposed in front of him.

Of course, the more she got to know Taehyung, the harder it was for her to control the adoration she had for him. She liked him so much she couldn't control herself; it was like an incurable disease.

"What will you be competing in this time" Second Master Kim questioned the father and son who was sitting behind the fountain.

Jae-min's unrestrained eyes shook as he stared down at the table before him. He then lifted his eyebrows and suggested, "How about we play a game of cards? Since the media have already left, there's no point competing in 5 rounds. Let's just play a simple game of Poker. But, I want to increase the bets."

"What do you want to bet on?" Taehyung asked calmly; his expression was completely composed.

Jae-min quickly glanced at Taehyung and stood up. He then looked at Y/N who was sitting beside Taehyung and said, "I want to bet on her. If you lose, the model goes to me."

Even Father Jae could tell Jae-min was deliberately stirring up trouble. So, the uncle and nephew from the Kim family also caught on.

"You can also request something from me."

Taehyung lowered his head and contemplated for a moment before laughing, "She isn't a wager..."

"Isn't she just a model? If I lose, you can sleep with my model twins."

Taehyung's expression darkened. Father Jae quickly noticed, so he grabbed onto Jae-min's arm and restrained him, "Rascal, are you asking to be taught a lesson? Have a look at President Kim's expression."

"What? Are you afraid?" the more Jae-min got scolded, the more he wanted to win.

But, while Taehyung was still thinking of a way to teach this reckless jerk a lesson, Y/N suddenly said, "I'll bet with you. But, if you lose, you will need to announce on all the biggest media channels that you are a jerk and are impotent!"

Father Jae's face turned red. Just as he was about to step in and say something, Jae-min stood up happily, "OK! Then it's set. However, I don't pick on women. You can team up with President Kim. After all, you are practically a family."

Taehyung glanced at Y/N. Since Jae-min thought he didn't know how to play and was bursting with confidence, he might as well play along. Moreover, he was given a chance to play poker with Y/N.

Second Master Kim once again sighed to himself. The father and son seemed to have left home without their eyes.

If they were to go up against someone else in the Kim family, perhaps they would have had a chance to win. But, challenging Taehyung?

Second Master Kim was tempted to find a quiet spot and have a nap. He wanted to leave this pointless competition for Taehyung to entertain his little delicate wife.

After the Jae father and son duo left, Taehyung turned around and looked at Y/N. With a doting and helpless voice he asked, "You agreed so quickly. Aren't you afraid of losing?"

"I know how to play Poker," Y/N replied. "With me here, you don't need to make a move."

"But playing around is this spoilt rich kid's strength. Are you sure you can win?"

"You won't allow me to lose," Y/N lowered her head and took a deep breath. "Don't ask me why I know how to play poker, it's all in the past. Tonight, I simply want to put up a fight for you. Can you let me do that?" Y/N asked as she grabbed onto Taehyung's sleeve.

Taehyung tilted his head, looked at her delicate right hand and laughed, "Do I have the ability to refuse?"

"But, what if I lose..."

"Then, I will take it on for you and lose on your behalf."

Y/N couldn't help but laugh, "Trust me, just this once."

Taehyung had never doubted Y/N. He knew she had never been the type of woman to hide behind a man. Plus, he remembered how she had previously said that they only knew about each other's habits but had no idea about each other's hobbies.

He could accurately point out Y/N's shoe size, body measurements, favorite food and favorite color, but when it came to everything else, he was looking forward to learning about them.

In the end, Taehyung replied, "I can only trust you because my Poker skills aren't great."

"Liar."

Taehyung's lips slightly curved upwards with a charming smile before he led Y/N into the entertainment hall.

Jae-min was already getting prepared at the poker table. After all, this was one of his strengths; how could he not be excited? It was correct to say that he intended on 'bullying' Taehyung because he thought he was the king of the poker table. Just because he couldn't beat Taehyung in a fight, did that mean he couldn't beat him in playing?

A moment later, Y/N went to sit down on a chair in front of the table. However, Taehyung stopped her and pulled her back up.

Y/N looked at him questioningly before he sat down on the chair first and placed her upon his lap...

This posture...

Although they often sat like this at home, at a place like this, Y/N felt a little awkward.

Taehyung wrapped his arms around Y/N and reminded, "It's time to start."

"Need you be so clingy even when playing a game of cards. Are you afraid that you won't be able to hug her anymore if you lose? Let me warn you in advance - we are only playing one round," Jae-min sneered before telling the dealer to get started.

Those familiar with Poker, would know that each player gets dealt two cards face-down before five community cards are dealt face up over three stages. In the end, the person with the best combination of five, combining both the cards in their hands and three cards from the community cards, wins.

A straight flush was obviously the best combination, followed by four-of-a-kind and then a normal flush.

Of course, Jae-min had come across women on the poker table before. But, he had never seen a woman win. This little model was being much too brave.

A moment later, the dealer started to deal out the cards. Amongst her two cards, Y/N held an Ace of Spades and a Jack of Hearts.

Whereas, Jae-min held a pair of Tens.

Of course, his hand wasn't great, but it also wasn't bad.

Since the wager had already been decided, there was no point deciding whether to bet or fold. So, Jae-min instructed the dealer to directly deal the first three community cards.

Amongst the cards was a King of Spades, a Three of Diamonds and a Ten of Hearts.

So far, Y/N had a high chance of getting a straight. Whereas, Jae-min, already had a triple.

Of course, upon the Poker table, apart from luck, there were also other factors; for example, psychological warfare.

Jae-min had always been lucky on the poker table, but what about this time?

Although Taehyung held Y/N in his arms, from beginning to end, he did not say a word to her. He just watched the cards quietly. Because she was extremely familiar with Poker, a possibility came to his mind; Y/N must have played this with Kai in the past.

With this thought, he felt a little jealous.

But...

...when he thought about how Y/N said she was fighting this battle for him, he quickly let go of the jealousy.

Not long after, the fourth community card was dealt. This time, it was an Ace of Hearts. Jae-min still had the advantage. Whereas, Y/N's chances seemed to have dropped; all she had was a pair of Aces. If the last card wasn't a Queen, then she would lose.

This time, Jae-min paused for a moment as he propped his chin on his hand and asked, "How's it going? Do you want to give up? Let me warn you, the last card is about to be dealt."

Taehyung hooked his hand around Y/N's neck and whispered in her ear, "Let me look at the last card."

"Then, if we win, would it be considered as my luck or yours."

"Yours," Taehyung replied.

Y/N nodded her head. She had no patience to listen to Jae-min's rubbish, so she directly asked the dealer to reveal the last card. In the end, the fifth community card did not make much of an impact. It was merely a four of Diamonds. This card had no use for either party.

Y/N suddenly felt a little anxious...

...because it was time to reveal their hands. From the looks of it, her chances of winning were high, but...

...without hesitation, Jae-min flipped over his hand to reveal he had triple Tens.

Y/N turned her head to look at Taehyung, but Taehyung gestured for her not to move.

"Show us your hand. Today, I trust in my luck."

Y/N only had a pair of Aces so she definitely lost. But, she did not say a word.

"You should admit it if you lost. I'm sure President Kim isn't a sore loser, right?" seeing their reactions, Jae-min assumed they had lost. He couldn't help but cheer, "It seems tonight I will get to enjoy this little model."

"What a pity..." three words resounded from Taehyung's chest before he flipped the cards in front of him.

The cards had turned into a Queen and a Jack.

No one knew as well as Y/N what cards she originally had in her hand. At the same time, she also understood why the Ace in her hand had now turned into a Queen.

"A straight is bigger than a triple. We win."

Jae-min looked in disbelief at the straight before him. His expression was exceptionally displeased. In the end, he plopped down on his chair and punched the table in front of him.

"President Jae, I hope you can uphold your promise. Remember to tell everyone you are a jerk and are impotent!"

"Hmmph!" Jae-min stood up and threw back his chair before leaving with Father Jae. Afterwards, the dealer finally opened his mouth to speak to Taehyung.

"This President Jae is an experienced swindler..."

"I know," Taehyung replied.

"What about you?" Y/N turned around and stared at Taehyung.

"President Kim only wanted to teach that jerk a lesson. If President Kim really wanted to win, he could have had whatever card he wanted."

"You know each other?" Y/N asked as she pointed to the dealer.

"When I first took over Kim Entertainment, I met all kinds of business partners. Back then, I wasted a lot of money on things like this. So, I decided to study and look into it. These days I haven't really put what I've learned to use, but it's useful to have skills ready in case I need them," Taehyung explained.

"It seems you've never had to experience yielding to someone else's control. Yet, here I was declaring that I was going to fight for you...Look what happened in the end..." Y/N sighed. According to Taehyung's reasoning, if he always went to study what he didn't know, how many skills did he actually have?

"If it wasn't for cheating, your cards would have been better than Jae-min's. So, you're still considered the winner."

A weird feeling suddenly emerged from the depths of Y/N's heart. Perhaps, she had not truly experienced the magnitude of Taehyung's power.

Seeing Y/N deep in thought, he wanted to continue explaining things. However, at this time, Second Master Kim entered the hall and looked at the couple sleepily, "You won pretty quickly..."

Taehyung turned around and looked at Second Master Kim before leading Y/N to his side, "This is second uncle. I didn't get a chance to introduce him to you earlier."

Before Y/N could respond, Second Master Kim dragged Taehyung to one side and asked, "Are you being serious? You're dating a small-time model? Have you told your parents about this?"

Taehyung turned and looked at Y/N before responding, "Does second uncle think she's not good enough?"

"Of course she's good. I can tell she is a good person and I quite like her. But, what about your parents? When do you plan to tell them?"

"I hope second uncle can keep this a secret for now. The timing is not yet right," Taehyung responded with a deeper meaning.

"You and your father are the same; always acting all mysterious. I won't get myself involved anymore, you can do what you want," Second Master Kim waved his hand casually. "It's just a shame that the truce banquet ended up driving an even deeper wedge between the two of you. You need to hold back a little...if you continue like this, how am I ever going to face old man Jae?"

"Didn't second uncle enjoy everything that happened today?"

"No need to point out what you already know," Second Master Kim looked at Y/N after speaking. "Why don't you give me the honor of sharing dinner with my potential niece-in-law. Tell me, how many people found out about your relationship before me?"

"Grandfather knows I got married, but he has no idea who with."

"Married?" Second Master Kim covered his mouth. "I thought you guys were merely dating."

Taehyung presented his ring-bearing left hand and chuckled, "It's already been four months."

"In that case, we definitely need to have dinner."

Taehyung nodded his head and returned to Y/N's side, "Second uncle wants to have dinner with us, do you want to go?"

"Need you ask? Let's go..."

After leaving the venue, the trio went to a nearby hotel. Second Master Kim watched the expression on Taehyung's face as he doted on his wife. He felt it was quite hilarious, "Good boy, you are becoming more and more like the younger version of your uncle. A wife should be doted on."

"I've never forgotten," Taehyung responded.

"You're already 32-years-old. When I was your age, my son was already old enough to buy his own soy sauce. When do you plan to have a child?"

"No rush," Taehyung brushed him off.

Y/N watched the interaction between the uncle and nephew. Perhaps because of genetics, Y/N felt Second Master Kim was quite approachable; the Kim family members seemed quite likable.

Seeing Taehyung always had an endless supply of work, Second Master Kim turned to Y/N and said, "Niece-in-law, don't let this rascal control you to death. Don't listen to everything he says. Ever since he was small he has always been a control freak."

"At home, whatever my wife says, goes," Taehyung placed his arm on the back of Y/N's chair and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"That better be the case."

Y/N started to feel a little warm, so she decided to remove her coat, revealing the beautifully embroidered Hanbok she was wearing underneath. Both Taehyung and Second Master Kim froze in surprise.

Taehyung even leaned over and questioned, "Why are you dressed so sexy? Who did you dress this way for?"

Second Master Kim cleared his throat and laughed, "Our little Y/N sure knows how to impress the elders. Looking at you like this reminds me of how beautiful your second auntie looked when she was young. Anyway, second uncle would like to give his blessings to the two of you."

"Seems I don't have to worry about whether you will get along with the Kim family," Taehyung whispered into Y/N's ear after they finished dinner.

"But, in regards to a child..."

In the past, she had never considered this topic because her and Taehyung hadn't been married for long. But, after hearing Second Master Kim mention a child, she was reminded that Taehyung was already 32-years-old...

32! That was indeed an appropriate age to have a child. But, if she was to have a child at this time, the career she had worked so hard to grow, would need to be restarted again.

"Let's talk about it when you want one. I'm in no rush."

"But..."

"Am I at an age where I definitely need to have a child? Within the entertainment industry, there are plenty of people that have children at 40-years-old."

On the way home, Y/N lowered her head and contemplated. Was she eliminating the choice of having a child? No, she wasn't.

Once upon a time, she had wanted to reach the pinnacle of the modeling industry because she wanted to seek revenge against Kai and Jennie. Afterwards, her reasoning turned into wanting to match Taehyung.

Now, to her, she believed a woman should have her own career, but, she also wanted a baby that resembled Taehyung.

"By the time you are 40, I will be 33," Y/N reminded Taehyung.

"Then, let's do it a little earlier. It's dangerous to be pregnant at an older age."

"You even know about this..."

Taehyung continued driving. As the traffic light turned red, he turned around and looked at Y/N, "After marrying you, I've done some studies. Married life is also one of the things I want to learn about."

"I really regret not meeting you earlier."

"If you had met me earlier, our relationship may have been unsteady. Wifey, I was once a typical youth with a bad temper and liked to argue."

"Hmm, I really want to see that side of you."

...

Next morning. Jae-min posted online that he had lost a bet and his punishment was to admit that he was a jerk and was impotent.

The majority of the media found out about how Taehyung had beaten Jae-min. In an instant, Jae-min became a joke in the industry. From what they heard, apart from giving up the boxing match, even when he cheated in poker, he still could not beat Taehyung. Of course, this was only a small piece of news, but it proved one thing: No matter how much Star King struggled, they would never be able to escape the palm of Kim Entertainment's hand.

"If something was to blame, it would be Jae-min's cheap mouth. For a face slap to be thrown so quickly, President Kim is indeed a man of action."

"How dare he say our President Kim is gay? I bet he is the one that is actually gay. President Kim has a shockingly perfect body!"

"Haha, even if he isn't gay, judging by how he plays with multiple women a day, he must either be covered in diseases or almost depleted of sperm! If not for the support of Star King, he couldn't even dream of being a celebrity."

"I don't care what you guys say. I simply want to express my ultimate respect for President Kim!"

"Did you guys notice that Y/N was also in the photo that was released this time? She was quiet like a beautiful painting of a wife accompanying her husband."

"If only they could come out and admit to everything. They are causing us to put up with so much guesswork. How tiring!"

While everyone was focused on this topic, a comment suddenly appeared, "For someone like Y/N that sleeps with multiple men, she will definitely be abandoned sooner or later. Just wait and see."

"Who are you? Are you crazy? You must be envious of other's joy."

"Y/N has at least three men; wait for the evidence to be exposed."

"If you have the ability, show us some evidence."

The man couldn't resist, so he actually posted up a photo. It was the photo of Y/N kissing Taehyung outside the manor. In the photo, Y/N's face wasn't in high definition, but her features could be identified. As for Taehyung, because his back was facing the camera and he was blocked by a car, it was impossible to tell who he was.

Most importantly, Y/N was obviously kissing a man in the photo.

"Just wait and see, there is more to be exposed."

"Expose it, quick, show it to us..."

"Oh God, is this really Y/N? Can someone skilled find some useful information?"

"Quick, take screenshots and save the picture, don't let Kim Entertainment's PR get rid of the evidence!"

The man stopped responding. After posting up a photo, he disappeared.

Originally, only a few people knew of the photo. But, quickly, it spread to Y/N's fan club and ended up on the hottest search rankings.

"Y/N, hurry over and have a look. What is this?" After seeing the photo, Rose immediately headed over to sit on the sofa. She then leaned against Y/N and asked, "When did this happen? Was this of you and President Kim?"

Y/N tilted her head and had a look. She then confirmed, "This was when we were at the manor."

"The photo seems to have been taken from a difficult angle," Rose analyzed the photo. "President Kim's manor is extremely secure, it's impossible for a stranger to have gotten inside. So, how did this photo happen? Were you stalked by paparazzi?"

Y/N shook her head, "I'm not sure."

"For them to have hidden this information away for so long, they must have other plans. Why did they decide to make a move now?"

Hearing this question, Y/N once again shook her head, "I'm not sure about that either."

"Then what do you plan to do?"

"Suho will naturally handle matters like this. You shouldn't stress about it. Help me pack my luggage instead, I need to go to France," Y/N was unaffected by the photo. After all, the man in the photo was Taehyung, not someone else. If someone was to use this photo to defame her, sooner or later the truth would be revealed. However, after a short moment, Y/N turned to Rose and said, "Use your contacts to investigate where this photo came from."

"I have no idea. It seems the public hasn't had enough and hasn't suffered enough pain from Taehyung."

"If we give this issue too much attention, our opponent will win. Let's not waste any more time on it."

...

10am. Star King's CEO's office.

Jae-min sat at his office table acting serious as he signed some documents. The pen in his hand casually scribbled on each of the documents before he closed them back up. He looked bored as he flipped through the details of some of Star King's artists. If he had known earlier that he'd lose to Taehyung and face a consequence like this, he would not have challenged him.

"President Jae..."

"Come in," Jae-min replied impatiently to his assistant.

Jae-min's assistant approached him with a phone and presented it to him like he was presenting some precious treasure, "President Jae, this will make you happy."

"What would make me happy?" Jae-min grabbed the phone before seeing a photo of Y/N kissing a man, "What is this?"

"Right now, the public is rapidly spreading the rumor that Y/N's private life is a mess. They say she's cheating on multiple men at the same time and has made President Kim wear multiple green hats. Previously, although Y/N was rumored to have climbed into beds, there was no solid proof. Now, something has finally been posted up," his assistant explained happily. "If Y/N is really as they say and Taehyung continues to be her manager with an ambiguous relationship. Don't you think the anger inside of you will be relieved?"

Jae-min remained quiet the entire time. He simply stared at the phone in a daze, "Did you think something like this would make me happy?"

His assistant was stunned as his face turned red.

"When I said that there was something wrong with Taehyung's sexual preference, people believed it because it came from my mouth. However, I was seeking trouble. But, what is this?" Jae-min threw away the phone, "How is this solid proof?"

"But, the rumors are spreading like crazy..."

"It's normal for Y/N to be defamed!" Jae-min laughed, "Based on Taehyung's capabilities, he will definitely solve the problem quickly. I need to increase the difficulty."

"What does President Jae plan to do?"

"Let's take note of Y/N's latest schedule. I want to create an unexpected encounter with her," Jae-min started to cheer up. Since Y/N's private life was already rumored to be in mess, he might as well add to it. Just the thought of Taehyung's reaction made him jump in joy...

"Does President Jae want everyone to assume the man in the photo is you?"

"You're pretty smart! How long has President Kim ruled over Kim Entertainment? I wonder if he would be able to handle a blow like this." After speaking, Jae-min suddenly felt the documents in front of him weren't so annoying; and the models that depended on talent for a living were no longer that disgusting.

"But, Y/N's schedule isn't easy to get a hold of!"

"Go and think of an idea. Contact customs and tell them to take note of Y/N's name. As soon as she leaves the country, let me know."

His assistant understood there was no changing his mind. So, even though he was put in a difficult position, he could not refuse. All he could do was bow and leave the room.

He had gone seeking for trouble himself. He had never expected Jae-min to use this exposure to attack Taehyung. He simply wanted to cheer him up so work could continue to progress.

It wasn't that Jae-min was unskilled, he simply enjoyed the freedom of the outside world too much and didn't care much about power.

Worst of all, he brought his playful attitude with him to the agency.

Since Star King still had the elders standing guard, he hoped to continue playing around.

...

When Taehyung heard about the photo, he had just come out of a video conference.

Suho entered Taehyung's office with the information he had gathered. Not only did he have the photo and accompanying news article, he had even found the IP of the person that released the photo and already had a few suspects.

After seeing the information, Taehyung's expression darkened. He put down the papers and pressed his fingers against the table, "These suspects, follow them and investigate them. Find out how they got the photo."

"I've already instructed people to handle the matter. But, by the time I receive the results, you and Y/N will already be in France," Suho explained.

"First, help me find out who did it," Taehyung once again held up the photo as he thought back on the day of the kiss. That was the day he had to return to Seoul.

Who would have thought there'd be such a brave paparazzi...

"Most importantly, investigate DSP Media studio," Taehyung remembered Y/N had said that she ran into Editor Lin multiple times.

"I've never heard of them before," Suho thought carefully.

Editor Lin wanted to use Y/N's incident to gain instant fame. So, he had kept it a secret until he could reveal everything at once. But, he never expected, one of his staff would be so impulsive as to place Y/N's photo directly online.

Inside the hidden office, Editor Lin glared at the staff that was kneeling on the floor. He was so tempted to chew him to pieces. "I must be having a stroke of bad luck to have come across rubbish like you. Let me tell you, if you weren't my cousin, I would have demanded you to leave behind a finger!"

The man held onto his head as he trembled. At present, the people at Kim Entertainment were also trying to hunt him down.

"Hurry and pack your bags. How long do you think it will take for Kim Entertainment to find you? Let me warn you. If Kim Entertainment are to find you, your fate does not look promising. So, you better not take a step away from my side."

The man had acted on impulse and just realized the seriousness of his actions. He stood up on his wobbly legs and headed back to his own office to pack his belongings. Meanwhile, Editor Lin decided he would have to completely abandon the hidden office.

Otherwise, if Taehyung was to track them down, how would he continue living?

Suho had never heard of DSP Media Studio before. Amongst the multiple media companies, DSP Media did not even have a ranking. Yet, Taehyung had instructed him to place all his focus on investigating them. It was obvious that Taehyung had already assumed this issue had something to do with DSP Media.

If this was the case, for such a small studio to have their hands on a photo of Y/N kissing a man, they must have been stalking Y/N for quite some time.

At the same time, while Y/N's photo was exposed, Somi also attracted some trouble.

She had previously come in contact with a top domestic lingerie brand, IY. They had invited Somi to appear in the finale of their Seoul launch show.

According to their contract, Somi was only required to wear one set of lingerie for the finale. But, when it came to the rehearsals, they requested for her to change into 3 sets of lingerie and demanded she pose the way they wanted her to. Somi used the contract to reject their demands, but...

...they insisted on clinging to her. They even dragged her onto the stage and forced her to complete the rehearsal!

According to Somi's status, she wasn't normally subject to this kind of treatment. But, IY had connections in the underworld...

Even if they were dealing with Kim Entertainment, they didn't care.

Not long after, Somi was once again defamed. The person insulting her directly called her a pair of broken shoes and complained that, as a model, she didn't know how to act like one.

While Somi was being oppressed, Suho received a phone call from Somi's assistant; she secretly found an opportunity to make a call.

Suho's face turned pale. He then reported the incident to Taehyung.

"Ever since Jae-min returned, our problems have increased," Suho pointed out. Of course, this was a conclusion he had come to after careful research. Jae-min and the boss of IY had become friends when they were overseas a long time ago. So, his worries weren't towards Kim Entertainment, but Somi.

Taehyung stood before the floor-to-ceiling window and looked outside. Afterwards, he turned around, pulled out his phone and gave Father Jae a call, "Old Man Jae..."

"Is that Taehyung...what's the matter?"

Taehyung was silent for 2 seconds before he gave a gentle laugh, "If Jae-min touches my bottom line again, I have no choice but to paralyze him."

"What has Jae-min done this time to make President Kim unhappy?"

"Do I sound like I'm joking?" Taehyung's voice suddenly turned cold and firm, making those around him shudder.

After hearing Taehyung's tone, Father Jae realized he couldn't just brush him off. So, he ended up nodding his head seriously, "I will try my best to control him." The only issue was, being threatened by someone from the younger generation made him slightly angry. However, there was nothing he could do. Although he was often walking a fine line under Kim Entertainment's nose, he never dared to retaliate.

"President, is there any use in warning Star King like this?"

"I have no intention to warn them, I was merely letting them know before I make a move!" After speaking, Taehyung returned to his office table. "This afternoon, Y/N and I will fly to France. Make sure to solve the issue with the photo."

"Don't worry, the photo hasn't spread very far. Just wait a couple days, when other news gets exposed, everyone will forget about it. Plus, I will make good use of my time and find the source of the photo," Suho placed his right hand in his pocket and gave Taehyung a serious guarantee.

"But, you don't plan on announcing your relationship with Y/N?"

"I promised Y/N I would announce our marriage after 6 months. If it's not the last resort, I want to try my best to keep my promise." After speaking, Taehyung locked away some important documents before retrieving his car keys.

"However, if someone wants to play games with me, I'm more than happy to play along. So what if we reveal our relationship? As for IY, if they insist on using their underworld background, then we should use underworld methods to deal with them."

"Understood."

The news of Kim Entertainment hunting down DSP Media Studio soon spread throughout the entire industry. On the way to look for IY, Suho received a phone call from his assistant, notifying him that they had located DSP Media Studio's whereabouts.

Suho immediately turned his car around and headed for the building where DSP Media was located. However, by the time he arrived, the studio was already empty. All that was left was scrap paper sitting in the rubbish bin with DSP Media's logo printed on them.

"We simply wanted to talk to their boss. Did they have to treat us like the triad? Why did they run away?" Suho's assistant complained.

"When someone feels guilty, they will naturally run away," Suho carefully analyzed the studio and searched through every possible hiding spot, including the balcony.

"What's up with them?"

"It's either they colluded with someone, or they still have other evidence related to Y/N and are afraid Kim Entertainment will find it," Suho guessed. He began to head for the bathroom, but at this time, he received a phone call from Somi's assistant; IY was going a bit overboard. They desperately needed his assistance.

"You guys continue the search. Collect as much evidence and useful information as you can." After speaking, Suho left the building and rushed to Somi's location.

With her fame and the backing of Kim Entertainment, it had been a long time since Somi had come across such an unreasonable collaboration.

They completely ignored their contract and weren't afraid of Kim Entertainment's background; forcing her to change into 3 sets of lingerie and forcing her to pull particular poses.

Somi's manager was already crying from anger below the stage and her assistant was endlessly calling Suho. A forceful collaborator like this was shameless and frightening.

"Somi??"

As it was a rehearsal, the venue only contained staff and Somi only brought along her manager and assistant. IY warned that if they didn't follow their demands, they would not be able to leave.

Somi was afraid they would get violent, so she could only hold back her anger and follow their orders. After all, this wasn't the first time she had experienced humiliation like this.

"Somi, you are doing the wrong pose. Let's start again!" the show director directed.

Somi stood blankly on the stage. But, at this time, Suho made an appearance accompanied by a bunch of bodyguards; there was a total of 7-8 of them, all in a line.

Upon seeing Suho, Somi felt a little embarrassed. After all, she wasn't wearing much.

As soon as he saw Somi's blushing cheeks, Suho immediately removed his jacket, approached the runway and placed it on her shoulders.

However, just as he was about to take her away, the show director suddenly asked, "Who are you?"

"Kim Entertainment's Artists Director, Suho!" Suho replied in a cold tone.

The man was taken aback for a moment before asking with less momentum than before, "She can't leave, she is still working. Do you want to breach your contract?"

"Contract?" With the mention of the contract, Suho turned to Somi's manager and ordered, "Bring the contract over here!"

Somi's manager wiped her tears and immediately handed the contract to Suho.

Suho casually flipped open the contract and scanned the terms. He then circled a few key points with the pen from his pocket and lifted the contract to show the director, "Are you blind?"

The show director scoffed.

Seeing the man still refused to acknowledge the terms, he directly turned to the bodyguards and ordered, "Seize him."

"What do you want?" the show director's expression changed dramatically.

The bodyguards obeyed their orders as two of them quickly stepped forward and grabbed hold of the chubby show director. They then forced him to kneel before Suho.

"I thought you couldn't see clearly, so I'm helping you take a better look!"

"I want to sue you guys, what you are doing is illegal!" the show director screamed at the top of his lungs.

Seeing this, Suho signaled the bodyguards to throw a punch at the show director's stomach before he asked, "Have you seen it clearly yet?"

"I..."

"It seems you still haven't seen it clearly!"

As he was used to having total control over every situation, Suho's gaze only looked piercing when he was holding press conferences. However, at this moment, his eyes were as piercing as an eagle's.

The show director was beaten until he lay on the floor, before Suho threw the contract in his face, "Would you believe it if I told you, Kim Entertainment is capable of making IY's shares plummet overnight?"

"Originally, we each stood on our own side of the line. Since your boss doesn't know what's good for him and is teaming up with the people at Star King, he must face the consequences of offending Kim Entertainment!"

"The rules of the underworld are, if you offend me first, then I have reason to seek revenge." After speaking, Suho wrapped his arm around Somi's shoulder and stepped right over the back of the show director's hands.

Somi subconsciously looked at Suho's right hand which was sitting on her shoulder. She suddenly felt, the suffering she had experienced today wasn't a complete loss.

After leaving the hall, Suho helped Somi into his car, grabbed a blanket from the back seat and placed it on top of her legs.

"You have suffered..."

"I never thought IY's people would be so shameless. Moreover, I never expected them to totally disregard Kim Entertainment."

Suho slightly turned his head and had a quick glance at Somi before he started up his car. He was ready to drive her home, "Before IY started selling high-class lingerie, they started off in the adult service industry. It was after they successfully transformed the business that IY was created. Although their background has been purified, there is still a trace of their past. Back when you first accepted this job I warned you to reconsider."

"As for their disregard towards Kim Entertainment, I suspect IY wants to retrace their steps and treat the business world like the underworld."

"Then, after the way that you treated them, what are we going to do?" Somi asked Suho in a worried tone.

"How many people in the entertainment industry are completely clean? Isn't everyone playing a game of money and background? President Kim will naturally deal with matters like this, you don't need to worry about it."

"Have you dealt with Y/N's photo yet?"

"It's currently in the works," Suho replied before pointing his chin towards their destination, "Who would have thought your home was so close. Hurry and head upstairs."

Somi looked around. She wanted to return Suho's jacket back to him, but Suho was one step ahead as he pressed down on her right hand to stop her, "Did you want to walk up dressed like this?"

All Somi was wearing was a white set of lingerie. In this cold winter weather, if she was to walk up dressed like this, she would have to be crazy and would definitely appear in the headlines.

"How about you hand me your keys and I'll go up and retrieve a set of clothes for you."

Somi hesitated for quite some time before she replied, "I think I'll go to my manager's place. I am feeling a little scared." She was scared of IY's revenge.

"If IY really intend to seek revenge, did you think there's any use hiding at your manager's place?"

"Take me to a hotel then."

Suho looked at her as he tried to conceal his emotions, "Since it's only one night, why don't you come to my place?"

"What do you mean by one night?"

"You don't need to know." After speaking, Suho restarted the car and drove towards his home. "My daughter is really well behaved. If you are willing, you can stay with her and keep her company. If you don't like children, you are welcome to sleep in the guest room."

Somi snuck a look at Suho; just one quick look.

Last time, after their chat, she never got the chance to analyze her love life in detail. It was not until earlier on when Suho placed his jacket upon her shoulder and slapped IY fiercely across the face, did she realize, Suho had helped her so many times.

Somi didn't notice when she arrived at Suho's home. All she knew was, as soon as she walked in through the front door, the first thing she saw was Suho's daughter. She was currently doing some art with the help of her nanny.

"Precious, come here..." Suho waved at Sana. The little girl quickly pounced into Suho's embrace and buried herself in his body.

"This is Auntie Somi..."

"Call me big sister!" Somi swiftly corrected.

Sana scratched her head and said in her cute little voice, "Papa, I think she is better suited as a big sister..."

"Up to you," Suho gently patted her on the head before leading Somi into the guest room. He then brought her a set of home clothes, "I need to return to the office. You can make yourself at home here. Tomorrow, everything will be better."

"Are you and President Kim going to deal with the IY issue?"

"Yes."

Somi took the home clothes from Suho. After he left, she cautiously returned to the living room and leaned against the corridor.

No matter how one looked at it, it seemed Somi and Suho was still quite distant. It wasn't just their identity and status that got in the way; there was also a little girl that stood between them.

Eventually, Somi decided to give her assistant a call, "Come pick me up, I am at Suho's home. Tonight, I think it's best if I stay at the hotel."

As soon as Sana heard that Somi wanted to leave, she immediately got up and tugged at her pants, "Big sister, can you not leave? Did Sana make you unhappy? Auntie (the nanny), is about to finish work...If you leave, Sana will be left all alone again."

Somi was stunned. Such a small child already knew how to be considerate of other's feelings.

Seeing this, the nanny quickly explained, "Sana only has Suho. So...she is quite sensitive."

Somi thought back on how she once lived her life depending on one man. So, she understood how Sana felt as she said to the nanny, "You can leave. I'll take care of her."

...

Suho quickly returned to the office.

Meanwhile, Taehyung was sitting in the airport's private departure lounge.

Y/N leaned against Taehyung's shoulder, while he typed away on his laptop; busy at work.

Chanyeol showed the information he had collated to Taehyung. After Taehyung reviewed it, he forwarded it to Suho, "Release all this information tonight."

Y/N had a quick glance and discovered the content, "How did you get your hands on all this negative news regarding IY?"

"I asked someone for it..." Taehyung explained. "My youngest cousin is an interpol officer. He's been trying to find evidence to bring down the boss of IY. So, we are working together."

After hearing this, Y/N felt a rush of emotions, "Taehyung, everyone in your family is so outstanding."

"A moment ago, Suho mentioned that the people from DSP Media have gone missing."

"Perhaps, they are nearby trying to capture a photo of me again. They probably want to know if I am on a date with a fourth man."

"Then, I will reluctantly continue to be your fourth and fifth man," Taehyung brushed his hand through Y/N's hair and placed a kiss on her forehead. "You don't need to worry about other things, just keep yourself in the best condition. Focus on your meeting with Claude. N and try your best to secure their endorsement..."

"You seem to always have so much faith in me. By the way, will Second Uncle end up seeing the photo? Will he develop an opinion towards me?" Y/N was conscious of how Taehyung's family viewed her.

"Second Uncle will merely blame me for not taking good care of you."

Y/N snuggled up to Taehyung; he was someone she could rely on for life. He was her husband; the person she most trusted, admired and treasured.

"Don't worry. With you accompanying me through all my battles, I will only grow stronger!" Y/N exclaimed with confidence.

"Your status in Seoul is relatively stable. If possible, you should spend more time interacting with your fans. This time, with the photo incident, your fans are really worried about you. In a moment, let's not take the VIP route; we will take the normal route so you can let your fans see that you are doing well."

"I've always felt that I owe my fans the most. Through all my battles, although I put in all my effort, I still would not have got to where I am today without their support," Y/N nodded her head in agreement. "Thank you hubby, I will follow your arrangements."

"I am currently your manager, your husband won't be online until 8pm tonight."

Y/N involuntarily let out a laugh.

Indeed, a while later, the couple did not take the VIP route. Both Y/N and Taehyung wore sunglasses as they walked the short 200m walkway. Even though the walk wasn't long, multiple fans still spotted them. Some stared at them, some took photos, some shook hands and some asked for autographs.

Of course, with Taehyung around, they didn't dare to act recklessly. However, Y/N still signed every autograph request and tried her best to satisfy everyone.

"Y/N, were you really the one kissing in the photo? Who was the man?"

"Y/N...do you really have three men?"

Y/N listened to the questions from her fans and couldn't help but turn around as she walked, "Three men? You will need to ask the man beside me if he would allow that."

The fans glanced at Taehyung quickly before shrinking back in fear. They smiled at him awkwardly, "It must be nonsense. With President Kim by your side, a hundred men would not be able to compare to just one of him."

"You have good taste!" Y/N praised before Taehyung turned her head and guided her through the ticket-checking gates.

Plenty of fans captured the loving scene at the airport and many of them felt that the Y/N they met today was a little different to her usually cold self.

She walked quickly and wore sunglasses like she usually did, but, this time, she smiled and no longer answered their questions with her usual cold tone. Could it be that Taehyung influenced this change in her?

"Welcome everyone to another episode of 'Full Access Entertainment'. If we are to talk about the most famous model at present, no other person would be more suited than Y/N from Kim Entertainment. With her perfect legs and envy-inducing professional catwalk, as soon as she steps on the runway, she immediately demands everyone's attention."

"However, a recent photo has been released online of Y/N kissing a man accompanied by a suggestive comment that she may have more than one man. Our editor would like to point out that Y/N gained the success she has today through taking one difficult step at a time. How could someone bear to defame a hardworking person like her?"

"As for today, some witnesses have reported a sighting of Y/N boarding a flight to France at the airport. Rumor has it that she has been invited by Claude.N! God, this is massive news for the modeling industry!"

"Above all, Y/N appeared relaxed the entire time. It seems she has not been affected by the photo incident at all. This is evidence that those with true capabilities will never be held back by other's envy..."

The current Y/N had become a regular on entertainment news. Of course, by creating such a scene with her trip to France, wasn't she announcing her schedule to those that wanted to follow her? No matter if it was Jae-min or Editor Lin from DSP Media, they both immediately booked the next flight to France.

Not only did Jae-min want to appear before Y/N, he even found an expert photo editor to change Taehyung's body into his own and re-released the photo.

Seeing how much Taehyung cared about Y/N. If he could hurt Y/N, it would be equivalent to hurting Taehyung.

Since he couldn't compete with Taehyung, he could only mess around with Y/N. Let's see how many people will believe her...

However, by suggesting Y/N to take the normal airport route, would Taehyung have not considered this outcome?

...

That night, Suho was a little worried whether Somi was getting along with Sana. So, he decided to leave the office early and bring his work home.

His keys gently unlocked the front door, revealing the woman and child asleep on the sofa. Somi was hugging Sana; they looked extremely close.

Suho's heart was slightly moved. He approached the sofa, knelt down before the two and watched them in silence for quite some time. Finally, he noticed they didn't have a blanket, so he quickly retrieved one from the bedroom and lay it on top of them so they could sleep in more comfort.

No woman would ever accept a child born from another woman, right? Suho thought.

Suho stood up and hurried into his study room.

In actual fact, Somi had long been awake. When she felt Suho's eyes upon them, she was extremely nervous. However, she also heard him sighing to himself.

Time quickly flew by and it was already the middle of the night.

Suho had been sitting in front of the computer the entire night. It was time for him to seek revenge for Somi.

Every hour that ticked over, he would release a piece of news about IY. Every time the public thought things couldn't get any worse, he would reveal something even more shocking. By 3am, one of the most popular social networks found their website had crashed due to excessive activity.

[Ten Scandals of IY, Number One: Has IY Actually Ceased Providing 'Special Services'? Undercover Reporter Reveals All!]

[Ten Scandals of IY, Number Two: Model Refuses to Appear on The Runway so Was Drowned in The Sea]

[Ten Scandals of IY, Number Three: IY Summoned by Police Multiple Times, but Issue Always Gets Covered up by Underworld Connections.]

...

After an entire night without sleep, Suho finally returned to his bedroom early in the morning. At this time, Somi was awoken by a phone call; it was her manager.

"Somi, go online and check out the news. The internet is exploding!"

Somi hung up the phone and immediately logged into the mainstream social networks. Straight away, she saw the latest update of IY's progress; their Boss had been summoned by the police.

In just one night...

...Taehyung and Suho were capable of destroying an entire brand. Of course, it wasn't merely a brand, they had also torn apart an entire nest of criminals. Need they be so cool?

Before she became friends with Suho and Y/N, she had always tackled things on her own. So, she had never experienced the charm of a man. It turned out, things were very different to when she was a crying woman.

Especially when it came to Suho. From close up, she could now feel a sense of security from him.
