"Are you stupid? You can't make up anything, all you will do is attract Taehyung!" The studio had been moving around and hiding from Taehyung all along; J-King even gave them fake ID's to stay under the radar. If they were to make up something...

...it would be a death wish.

After Suho and Somi returned to the hotel, Y/N spotted the couple walking hand-in-hand. She couldn't help but tease, "You can't even separate for a second?"

Somi did not get flustered, she simply held onto Suho's hand even tighter, "You and President Kim are always teasing us. Someday, we will get back at you."

"Oooo, I'm afraid...Go get some rest, it is already 4am. You still have work to do early tomorrow."

"I'll lend you my manager for tomorrow. I want Suho!"

"I did bring him over for you to 'enjoy' after all..." Y/N giggled with a slight ambiguity.

Suho wasn't used to being teased, so Somi looked at his awkward expression and laughed, "In that case, we will return to our room. Good night."

"Uh huh," Y/N nodded gently.

Lin Chong was next door to Y/N. Without Taehyung or Suho by her side, Y/N was completely alone. So, Lin Chong expected she wouldn't be able to handle the loneliness and run off to find a random man.

But, after Suho and Somi left, Y/N had a shower and got into bed. She then gave Taehyung a phone call. As it was roughly 10am in Seoul, she assumed he would be working.

"Taehyung..."

After Taehyung picked up the phone, he subconsciously glanced at his watch and furrowed his brows, "It's already 4am in Milan, why aren't you sleeping?"

"I miss you," Y/N's voice contained a sense of torment, "Suho and Somi were teasing me just a moment ago."

"Should I give Suho a call and tell him to come back, then?"

"Somi would kill me if you did that," Y/N gave a gentle laugh. Her voice contained an undeniable adoration for Taehyung, "When I'm not around, don't stay up working until too late."

"Why are you like a child today?"

"I'm not, I just miss you more than usual."

"Then, don't hang up and leave your phone to one side..." Taehyung replied gently.

Y/N nodded her head. In her drowsy state, she placed the phone down next to her pillow and slowly closed her eyes...

Next door, Lin Chong was listening in on Y/N's phone call to Taehyung. He surprisingly felt moved by their conversation. This can't be right, with such a good opportunity in front of her, she's bound to go out and find herself a man; it's not like she's an innocent lady, he thought.

But, Y/N ended up spending the entire night hugging her phone to sleep...

During this peaceful night, however, an originally unknown news studio, DSP Media, suddenly released some shocking news. They directly posted a photo online of a couple being extremely affectionate in an underground parking lot.

It didn't take long for them to be recognized as people quickly identified the couple. They were two people that had been previously rumored but then disappeared off the radar. It was none other than the international supermodel, Somi, and Kim Entertainment's Artists Director, Suho!

In reality, if a relationship had merely been exposed, it wouldn't have caused such an uproar. However, the problem was in the extremity of the photos...

After kissing in the carpark, they were caught being affectionate in the car as well...

The public couldn't help but feel a little disgusted!

After the photo was released, DSP Media Studio started bringing attention to Somi's old news. Only a couple of months ago, she was so in love with a gambler that she was covered in wounds. Yet, in such a short amount of time, she was already found being passionate with the Artists Director of Kim Entertainment...

"Did Somi fake a diary for the sake of PR? If she loved the man so much, how could she throw herself into another man's arms in less 2 months?"

"This photo is a bit too dirty. They look like they are about to have sex in the car!"

"Is Suho trying to ruin Kim Entertainment's image?"

"I must say, Suho's got a pretty unique taste. He actually brought home a pair of broken shoes and could stand kissing it."

"A photo like this is a bad example for the younger generation!"

Kim Entertainment was notified of the scandal as soon as it was released and Chanyeol immediately turned to Taehyung for a solution. Suho was not only the Artists Director, he was also the Director of PR - yet he was the one that had been exposed...

From now on, how convincing would their PR be?

"President..."

Taehyung saw the horrible comments online and saw the rise of DSP Media Studio. He didn't say a word, but an obvious murderous chill glazed over his eyes.

"Firstly, give Y/N a phone call and tell her to swap hotels. Afterwards, let's regain control of the media and discussions online." Taehyung threw his phone to one side and continued, "We need to prepare a new Artists Director."

"What do you mean?"

"Hand the issue over to Suho to handle himself," Taehyung lifted his head and looked at Chanyeol as he spoke. No matter what the result was to be, he knew Suho could no longer hold onto his position.

"What should I do about DSP Media Studio then...?"

"I'll give you 10 minutes to compile the information you have on Lin Chong and place it on my desk," Taehyung said in deep voice, "I will make him regret ever appearing on this earth."

Chanyeol looked at Taehyung with a complicated expression; his friend was after all involved. He then turned to leave, but after a few steps, he turned back around and said to Taehyung, "Actually, Suho has a lot that he is capable of..."

Taehyung picked up his phone and looked at Chanyeol...

Chanyeol's heart skipped a beat before he once again turned to leave.

After Chanyeol left, Taehyung made a phone call to Y/N. It seemed, she had not yet received news from back home. This was mainly due to the fact that Rose wasn't around to keep her up to date.

"I've asked Chanyeol to help you swap hotels, have you been made aware yet?"

"Why the swap?" Y/N asked as she changed her clothes.

"It's not safe..." Taehyung simply replied. In order not to make Y/N overthink the situation, he added, "I will be flying over tonight. Let's discuss it after I arrive."

Y/N did not understand Taehyung's words, so she immediately gave Rose a phone call, "Has something happened in Seoul?"

"You still haven't found out?" Rose was currently in a mess; her phone was practically exploding because of phone calls from the media. They were calling her simply because Y/N and Somi were close friends.

"Tell me."

"I don't know how to explain. Just have a look at the news." Not long after, Rose sent over a link to a news article. Y/N hung up the phone and clicked on the link. As she scanned over the news, she took a few steps back in disbelief.

Y/N dropped what she was doing and immediately returned to the hotel to find Somi and Suho. At this time, the couple were sitting in their room in silence.

"Y/N, can you watch over Somi for me? I'm going to go return a phone call." As soon as Suho saw Y/N, he immediately pulled her over to Somi's side.

Y/N knew he must be making a phone call to Kim Entertainment, so she pointed to the door with her chin and gestured for him to go ahead.

Somi's face was blank. As soon as she saw Suho leave, she turned to hug Y/N and broke down emotionally, "What can I do? How can I help him recover his reputation?"

Y/N stretched out her arms and hugged Somi tightly as she said in an apologetic tone, "It's all my fault..."

"What has this got to do with you? We are in a normal relationship. What is wrong with being affectionate?" Somi's icy cold tears fell upon Y/N's neck.

"You guys did nothing wrong..." Y/N gently patted Somi's back comfortingly.

"Is he going to lose his role as Kim Entertainment's Artists Director? Y/N, you are full of ideas. As long as we can get rid of the damage caused by the scandal, I can give up anything..."

"You don't need to give up anything," Y/N's eyes suddenly turned red.

Somi was still the same Somi. For the sake of love, she would do anything without restraint and give up anything.

"But, I really don't want him to put up with all the finger pointing...He's already endured enough pain and slandering."

After Suho finished his phone call, he stood by the door and heard Somi's painful sobs.

Somi wasn't one that liked to cry. After all, she had endured 10 years of torture. But, for him...for the sake of his reputation, she had completely lost control of her emotions...

As he held tightly to his phone, Suho returned to the room and stood in front of Somi.

Y/N understood that Suho had something to say, so she knowingly stood up and left the room, closing the door behind her.

Suho pulled Somi into his embrace so she could bury herself in his arms. After quite some time, he finally comforted, "Don't underestimate me. I've been Kim Entertainment's PR Director for 5 years. Did you think I wouldn't be able to handle something so simple?"

Somi lifted her head and looked at Suho with her watery eyes...

This look made Suho's heart feel like it had been painfully pricked with a thousand needles. He uncontrollably grabbed onto her cheeks and placed a kiss on her lips, "Trust me, we will both be fine."

"Really?"

"Even if you don't believe me, you should at least believe President Kim," Suho rubbed Somi's shoulder and gave her a comforting smile, "The only thing is, I will no longer be a Director at Kim Entertainment."

"Huh...?"

"That's because I've been promoted," Suho lifted the phone in his hand and shook it gently, "President Kim has asked me to move behind the scenes and help with training as well as strategy. I've been promoted to Vice President."

Somi cried and laughed at the same time. Tears clung to her eyelashes as a smile involuntarily appeared on her face, "Is this true? Really?"

"What would I get out of lying to you?" Suho stroked the back of Somi's head with a painful expression, "Don't cry anymore. It makes my heart break."

"So, following on, what do we need to do?"

"Of course we need to go back and join the battle!" After speaking, Suho crouched down and placed one hand on Somi's shoulder, "From now on, we are inseparable. Even if I am to torture you for the next decade, don't dream of leaving me."

"I wouldn't leave you even if I die..."

"Don't talk about dying. We will always remain together," Suho looked into Somi's eyes. His gaze was abnormally emotional. "Somi, did you know? Y/N may be wise, but you are braver than anyone I know. Not everyone can withstand 10 years of suffering and still have the courage to start anew."

Somi held back her tears, but...

...she felt her chest fill with strength. Ever since the death of her sister, she had no one to depend on. For someone with nothing left, all she held onto was courage!

If Y/N needed her, she would give Y/N her all.

If Suho needed her, she would give Suho her all.

In reality, a crisis was also a turning point; it all depended on how one utilized the opportunity...

Wasn't this something Y/N had good control over?

Since her best friend was involved, after hearing the couple's conversation, she immediately gave Taehyung a phone call, "Taehyung...help me postpone Milan. I want to come home and fight with them."

After hearing Y/N's request, Taehyung lowered his head and smiled, "I've already booked your flights."

He knew, no matter if it was Rose, Bam Bam or Somi, as long as they treated Y/N well, she would definitely protect them with all her might. So, he already guessed that Y/N wasn't going to sit idly by.

"This time, I will definitely make DSP Media Studio pay for what they've done!"

"Of course. However, I've put you on a separate flight to them. The airport is a battleground they will need to face on their own. Your flight will arrive half an hour before theirs. I'll pick you up nearby."

"I trust in your arrangement." At a time like this, it was a battle between the men and a battle between Suho and the media. All she could do now was not add to the mess.

In the end, the trio returned to Seoul together. At a time like this, Y/N knew, what Somi needed the most, was strong support.

...

"From what we know, Kim Entertainment's Director, Suho, and Kim Entertainment's model, Somi have just landed back in Seoul. With the Autumn/Winter Fashion Week about to start, Somi should be extremely busy. So, we assume the couple have returned to resolve the damage caused by the revelation of their relationship. Since they are openly returning together, it seems they have no intention to avoid the scandal and plan to face it head-on."

"Right now, a huge crowd of reporters have gathered outside the airport and we can clearly see the media have completely blocked off the exit..."

As Y/N arrived before the couple and exited directly from the tarmac, she could witness the chaos that was happening outside the airport.

She had experienced a scene like this before.

It was when everyone thought she had murdered Naeun. Luckily, she had returned ahead of schedule and escaped her fate.

Right now, it was 1pm in Seoul.

Suho protected Somi as they stepped out of the terminal. Just as they were about to leave the airport, a crowd of reporters immediately surrounded them, completely blocking their way.

Suho held onto Somi tightly. Even as they got pushed around, he whispered in her ear, "Hold on tightly to my hand."

Seeing the couple's hands intertwined, the media immediately started questioning them, "Mr. Suho, would you care to let us know when you guys officially started dating?"

"Mr. Suho, you are the most famous master of PR. Is your appearance today also a PR tactic?"

"Within the industry, Miss Somi has the nickname 'broken shoes'. What does Mr. Suho think of this?"

At first, the media were relatively polite. But, with Suho's response of silence, their questions sped up and intensified. They even started personally attacking Somi.

"You guys must be creating hype. After all, Somi has already had an abortion three times because of another man."

"Mr. Suho, did Somi seduce you? Did she exchange her body for resources?"

"Right now, the entire internet is calling Somi a sl*t. Mr. Suho, what do you think of this?"

Hearing the last few questions, Suho finally stopped in his track and faced the media. Looking into the dark sea of cameras, he was unusually calm, "Could the people that are insulting my fiancee step out and safely say that they have never broken up before; can they say that they are so innocent that they've never dreamed of flirting with anyone; can they say that they've never been involved with an abortion. If they can't do it, then all their insults towards my fiancee are merely insults to themselves."

"Or perhaps, they are just envious that they haven't found someone who accepts them the way that I accept my fiancee."

"To me, the human body is just a shell. Even if you guys think of her as a pair of 'broken shoes', in my eyes, she is a precious treasure..."

"Can your expectation for others not be so strict? Don't tell me you've never been hurt, abandoned or betrayed before; don't tell me you've never wanted to be wealthy and enjoy the luxuries that come with it; don't tell me you can live your entire life with your integrity intact. If so..."

"...then who are the people that are currently attacking us?" Suho raised his and Somi's intertwined hands and asked, "I'm not married and neither is she. We are an average couple. Why must you throw words of insults towards a woman?"

"If you can't stop your attacks and want to complain about other's personal lives, then please direct all your dissatisfaction towards me. Please stop hurting the person I treasure..."

While Suho spoke these words, all Somi saw was the side of his face. But...

...her tears involuntarily started rolling out of her eyes.

She wondered whether, all those years ago, this was the same way he had protected his younger brother. Did he choose to be dishonored by his parents in order to protect the person he cared about.

Afterwards, Suho pulled Somi behind him and led her out of the crowd, past all the persistent reporters. Even though it was difficult, he did not allow them to touch a single hair on her body...

Finally, he helped her board the van sent by Kim Entertainment and left the scene.

The media still wanted to chase after them, but women who witnessed Suho trying to protect Somi (especially a few with cars), deliberately drove their cars into the path of the reporters and completely blocked their way.

If justice still existed in this world, may it last forever.

At times, it was hard to understand why the world was especially cruel to women. Why didn't the reporters occupy themselves with exposing other people instead of clinging to Somi? What did she do wrong? She simply wanted to pursue her happiness...

Behind them, the reporters were getting further and further away. However, Suho's grip on Somi's hand was as tight as ever.

Somi's warm tears fell upon the back of Suho's hand.

Never would she ever forget, that on this day, one man threw his chest into the crowd to shield her from the harshness of the world.

"Do you believe me now? I can protect you from anything."

Somi nodded her head. Her eyes were obviously swollen and red, but she tried her best to smile, "I believe you. I've also finally experienced being saved like Y/N. You and President Kim are both mighty people."

"We aren't mighty. Our capabilities are limited...But, in order to protect our women, we can push beyond our limits..." after a few seconds, he continued, "...by an exceeding amount!"

Tears streamed out of Somi's eyes as she cried into Suho's arms...

"Don't worry, I will handle it well."

Meanwhile, Taehyung and Y/N's car followed closely behind. Y/N was pleased to know that Somi had found herself the right person.

So, she turned her head and smiled at Taehyung, "The people at Kim Entertainment are all loyal and righteous."

"Including Kyra?" Taehyung lifted one eyebrow.

"Apart from her..." After giving her response, Y/N looked out the window and said helplessly, "Hubby...did you know? My admiration towards you has once again increased?"

"I can tell. The word 'worship' is written all over your face..."

"Following on, what do you guys plan to do?" Y/N could not forget, although Suho, had protected Somi like a knight in shining armor, the 'indecent' photo of them was still circulating. So, Suho was no longer suitable as Kim Entertainment's Director of PR.

"Suho has his own plans...I've left it all in his hands."

Taehyung took Y/N straight to Kim Entertainment.

Y/N looked at Taehyung curiously but did not ask any further. All she wanted to do at this time was smile; she wanted to smile for Somi and for the women who still dreamed of achieving happiness. Because Suho's existence was proof that there were still beautiful relationships in this world worth sacrificing and waiting for.

Not long after, the couple arrived outside Kim Entertainment. At this time, inside Kim Entertainment's internal meeting room, Suho had already set up everything to film a video.

He simply dragged Somi everywhere with him. After changing into a black suit in his office, he entered the meeting room and asked those involved with film to help him record a video.

"What are you doing?" Somi asked confusedly.

Suho gestured for her to hush before looking straight down the barrel of the camera and signaling for the cameraman to start recording.

"Hello everyone, I am Suho..."

"I have held the role of Director of PR in Kim Entertainment for 5 years now and today I officially handled the last PR matter for the agency. Who would have thought it would be my own scandal."

"There are three things I would like to address today. Firstly, Somi is indeed my beloved fiancee; she has never been a pair of broken shoes. We are a legitimate couple and will be getting married soon."

"Secondly, I would like to apologize to those in the public that I have affected negatively. I am sorry that we couldn't control ourselves in the public, but my privacy was also violated. I hope DSP Media Studio can step out to give me an apology!"

"Lastly, for the sake of Kim Entertainment's image and reputation, I will officially resign from the role of PR Director and move behind the scenes."

"By doing this, I have one motive: I am admitting to my mistake and paying the price. So, DSP Media Studio, if you have the guts then come out from hiding. You've invaded the privacy of others and harmed the interests of others. In terms of morals, you aren't any better!"

In other words, Suho was telling those that supported DSP Media Studio that they had low morals and that they should start learning the basics again.

After seeing Suho's video, Kim Entertainment's staff couldn't bear to see him leave, "Director Suho, must you really resign? This video..."

"Release it!" Suho replied straightforwardly.

"But, if I release it, you won't be able to take it back."

"Release..." Suho replied firmly before returning to Somi's side.

The staff reluctantly obeyed his instructions and placed the recorded video on Kim Entertainment's website...

In a short amount of time, Suho's video exceeded a million views!

Suho's level-mindedness; Suho's straightforwardness; Suho's determination to protect Somi; and Suho's direct approach at calling out DSP Media Studio; his every action made the public feel like he had a clear conscience.

"I must say, I give Suho 100 points for his final PR effort. After being exposed, he immediately flew back to Seoul to face the problem and admitted to everything directly. He even released a video with such attitude. I've truly become his fan!"

"Oh! I love men that admit to their wrongdoings! It's so sexy!"

"Such a dominating presence! We should ask the cowardly reporters, who only know how to hide and reveal other's private matters, what they have worthy to show off!?"

"Woah, DSP Media Studio, you better not chicken out! After all, weren't you guys extremely proud of yourselves when you released the photo?"

Logically speaking, whenever an indecent photo was released, the ones to be hurt would usually be the couple pictured - especially the woman.

But, when it came to Suho, he managed to twist the situation around and place all the focus on the reporters' invasion of privacy...

He did not make any excuses for his actions and directly stepped out to apologize.

Since he had given an apology and punished his lack of self-control by resigning, what were DSP Media studio going to do about their invasion of privacy?

It was only normal for the human mind to think that when two people were wrong and one apologized, then the remaining party deserved to ostracized!

This was the most impressive thing about Suho.

He seemed to say: If you want to expose something about me, then go ahead; if you want to claim that I did something wrong, then I'll apologize; but, what are you going to do about your wrongdoings?

At the same time, the other artists at Kim Entertainment, whether actor or singer, all expressed their personal opinion towards reporters...

They absolutely despised them!

"Not too long ago, a reporter captured a photo of an artist having a bath and tried to exchange it for sex..."

"A few days ago, wasn't there a reporter that snuck into a female artist's home and exposed that she had a disabled father? Afterwards, the artist threw herself off a building and committed suicide."

With all the celebrities bringing the same issue to light, fans were bound to be influenced.

In an instant, the underhanded methods of all these dirty reporters were collated into a news article and published on mainstream media. And right at the top of all the headlines, sat a report about DSP Media Studio's disgusting actions towards Suho and Somi- this was currently the hottest topic!

"To be honest, celebrities are just normal people. What's wrong with not being able to control oneself from giving a kiss? My husband and I often kiss in public..."

"Actually, Somi is quite pitiful. If I was her and had met a man like Suho, I would have also fallen for him; it's quite understandable. Plus, neither of them are married yet, so what is wrong with kissing?"

"DSP Media Studio should apologize!"

"Honestly, reporters are the most hated profession, nothing else compares."

"I hope my fellow netizens can help me skin this studio alive."

This request came just as Taehyung handed information about Lin Chong to Suho...

Afterwards, a 'kind-hearted netizen' appeared online and exposed that the name of DSP Media Studio's editor was Lin Chong. Just a simple name was enough for the versatile netizens to find out everything they wanted to know.

So, a little bit later, information about Lin Chong getting married 3 times and getting divorced 3 times, as well as his phobia towards women, were all placed online.

"This Lin Chong is a psycho! He was even suspicious when his wife went to make a phone call in the bathroom!"

"A psycho like this should be thrown into the mental hospital as soon as possible in case someone else gets tricked by him."

"I'd want to kill myself if a psycho like this was interested in me. If I was Suho, I'd directly destroy this nutjob."

In the end, what started off as DSP Media Studio exposing Suho and Somi's relationship, ended up being diverted towards Lin Chong...

Moreover, that afternoon, an announcement was released on Kim Entertainment's website highlighting that there was nothing wrong with Suho's character; he was just, fair and extremely capable. So, with the agreement of everyone at Kim Entertainment, they had decided to promote Suho to Vice President in hopes of keeping a rare talent within the agency.

This wasn't merely Taehyung's personal decision to hold onto him, but a result of the love and trust gained from his peers. As for his abilities in PR, one could scour the entire entertainment industry and not find a single person that could compare.

So, Lin Chong's plan to hurt Somi and Suho...had backfired. Not only did he throw himself into a dilemma, he even gave Suho a boost and helped him get a promotion.

At the time that Somi saw the news, she was in the middle of playing building blocks with Sana.

Little Sana noticed the tears seeping out of Somi's eyes and immediately placed her tiny soft hands upon Somi's cheek, wiping it clumsily, "Don't cry. It won't hurt anymore..."

She even buried her squishy body into Somi's arms and tried to blow her eyes dry...

Somi suddenly started laughing as she wrapped Sana tightly in her arms, "Precious, you really are mum and dad's cotton ball."

Of course, she had given herself the title of 'mum'.

Back when she was stabbed in the heart by Jaehyun, she felt like she had experienced death once. At that time, she was fortunate enough to be saved by Y/N. Whereas this time, she finally experienced being truly reborn. From now on, she and Suho no longer needed to endure the finger-pointing of others; they were a legitimate couple!

The situation had completely been turned on its head. Meanwhile, over at DSP Media, the studio was in chaos over the information that had been released about Lin Chong. A few members of staff even escaped overseas to avoid implication and had since been completely out of contact.

In an instant, all Lin Chong had left by his side was Charlene and his sinister cousin.

Seeing Lin Chong lock himself in his office refusing to come out, Charlene sneered. From the other side of the door, she said, "Your cooperation with J-King was running smoothly, who told you to go self-destruct? Although J-King's fate will also be quite pitiful in the end, at least you could have made money from him and not ended up where you are now; being scolded by everyone..."

"You could have picked on anyone, yet you chose Suho?"

"You had so many artists to pick from, yet you chose the Director of PR!"

"Editor Lin, I'm really curious what's going on in that mind of yours."

After ridiculing Lin Chong, Charlene picked up her things and said her last words, "From your situation alone, I can see the harshness of reality. The reality that people like us can never threaten Taehyung's position. As long as he wants to protect someone, even if they are in a terrible situation, he will be able to turn it around in the end."

"From now on, you can play this game on your own. You had such great cards, yet you completely messed it up!"

Lin Chong sat down in the middle of his office, feeling defeated. His office was in a total mess.

It wasn't long before the entire studio emptied out, leaving Lin Chong laughing and crying all by himself like a mental patient.

As if his fate wasn't already bad enough, a few moments later, a few men rushed into the studio holding metal poles. Not only did they smash the entire studio to smithereens, they even dragged Lin Chong to one side and beat the living daylight out of him.

"J-King told us to relay a message to you: from this day onward, he doesn't want to see your face appear anywhere in Seoul."

"You useless idiot!"

After insulting him, the men threw a few rough kicks into his chest and left.

Why was J-King so worked up about the situation? Because when he found out the previous Vice President of Kim Entertainment was getting transferred, he thought his opportunity to enter Kim Entertainment had come. With the help of his father and other shareholders, he thought he had the position in the bag. But, because of Lin Chong's random intervention, Suho had now become the new Vice President!

The shareholders all knew how important Suho meant to Kim Entertainment. With one simple mention from Taehyung, the shareholders had no reason to refuse.

Meanwhile, J-King didn't know if he'd ever get the opportunity again!

So, was Lin Chong's fate considered miserable enough?

For the next two days, Lin Chong hid in his dark corner like a rat; too afraid to treat his wounds and too paranoid to see a doctor.

Ever since he released the news about Suho, the entire reporter profession had become implicated.

So, right now, not only was he hiding from J-King, Kim Entertainment, fans and celebrities, most importantly, he was trying to avoid the attacks from his peers. Because, it was his fault that their days had gotten a lot harder.

A bored person placed a photo of Lin Chong in hiding online. After Rose saw it, she showed it to Y/N with a smile, "Look what happened to this piece of trash."

Y/N received the phone and had a quick glance before replying to Rose, "Ask someone to send him money on behalf of Somi and I..."

"Y/N..." Rose didn't quite understand Y/N's intention. Not only did she not find someone to beat the jerk to death, she even wanted to give him money?

"Don't you think being let off by an enemy is even more painful? Compared to physical pain, mental torture is the definitive way to completely eliminate an enemy," Y/N lowered her head, not feeling the tiniest bit of pity for Lin Chong because she knew he was quite a capable person.

Rose sat quietly in deep thought for a moment. She thought about the time she was humiliated and forced to kneel in front of other's and remembered how painful of an experience it was. She suddenly understood Y/N's actions.

"You're amazing!"

So, one fateful night, a man wearing a cap walked into Lin Chong's office and placed down beside him a set of clean clothes, some food, medicine and a business card.

In his half-dead state, Lin Chong looked at the items that were placed beside him. His eyes glanced over everything but were particularly drawn to the clothes and the business card.

When one was at their worst, no one cared about their pride...

Seeing the items in front of him, he felt guilt and shame were like two pieces of rope that tightly bound him together, making it impossible for him to go anywhere...

That night, Lin Chong stared at the new set of clothes for a long time. It was not until almost dawn that he finally pulled out his phone in the darkness and called the number on the business card.

"Hello...I am Lin Chong..."

"I didn't expect you to actually make this call. I would like to ask if you'd come work with us, we need a capable photographer. These days, the younger generation aren't trained enough. Although you can't earn as much money as you previously did, we can pay you enough to get by without worries. What do you think? Do you want to come?" the person on the other end of the phone was extremely friendly and full of passion.

"May I ask, who is behind this offer?"

"It's best you don't ask. With your current situation, no one else will want to work with you. So, don't hesitate, you need to continue living."

Lin Chong looked down at the clean set of clothes and nodded, "OK, I'll come!"

"Great. Just come to the address written on the business card."

After Rose completed the task she was given, she looked at Y/N happily, "If this jerk was to find out that his most hated enemy is helping him behind the scenes, he will definitely want to smash his head into the wall and kill himself."

Y/N let out a gentle laugh and didn't say anything as she pruned the flowers in the garden.

Rose was curious, "The Autumn/Winter Fashion Week is about to start. Has President Kim scheduled anything else for you?"

"Somi is getting married...I will leave after her wedding," Y/N replied calmly.

"So soon? Doesn't she need to prepare?"

"Only the artists at Kim Entertainment and a few close friends have been invited to Bali for the wedding. There's not much to prepare," Y/N put down the scissors in her hand. Although she was looking down, her words were deep and meaningful, "A wedding doesn't need to be grand. People just need to see the effort put into it. According to Somi's love for Suho, even if there was no wedding, she would still be willing to marry him."

"Suho was so cool this time!" Rose gasped. "Will both you and Boss attend the wedding?"

"Of course."

However, unbeknownst to Lin Chong, Y/N had organized for him to be the photographer at the wedding. This time, he would be forced to open his eyes and witness the woman he hated, end up with a happy ending.

...

Because of the entire exposure incident, Suho and Somi's wedding was something that came naturally. It happened the day that Suho came home after turning the tables on DSP Media. The first thing he did as he walked in through the front door was kneel on the floor, hug Somi and Sana and exclaim, "Let's get married. Let's give Sana a complete family."

Somi froze in his arms for a few seconds, but Suho's expression remained gentle and patient. After she hesitated for quite some time, Suho finally drew her attention back, "Somi?"

"Huh?"

"I said, let's get married!"

Somi loosened herself from Suho's arms. She covered her cheeks and returned to her room without a word. After calming her emotions, she finally returned to the living room to give her response, "OK."

At the same time, she handed him a guest list with one name on it: Y/N!

Suho received the list and stroked the back of her neck as his heart ached. He then drew her into his arms once again.

Following on from that day, Suho speedily confirmed a list of guests and booked a wedding venue. In one night, the couple decided on everything and by the next day, Suho had already organized it all.

The wedding was to be held in half a months time inside a Bali resort...

Not long after, news of their wedding was revealed to the public. While giving their blessings, the netizens also teased Suho for being a man of action!

Meanwhile, people who had previously doubted the couple, found they had been slapped in the face by the news of their wedding. In fact, Suho's sincere approach to the whole situation gave hope to the relationship that had fallen into despair. Because, apart from a certain couple of negative points, the public couldn't find anything else that was bad about the relationship to defame. Since they couldn't defame them, they could only give their blessings instead.

The netizens gradually expressed their excitement towards the wedding. Of course, they had one other reason. As Somi's best friend and agency CEO, Y/N and Taehyung were bound to attend.

During the time that Y/N waited for Somi's wedding, she flew back and forth between Seoul and Milan multiple times. Meanwhile, Taehyung accompanied her to all her interviews and helped her secure jobs and important endorsements.

Of course, by this time, Yue Shanshan's filming for 'Stupid' was nearing its end. The completion was due roughly around the time of Somi's wedding.

Y/N had contacted Coque in private multiple times to check on the progress of Yue Shanshan. Coques response each time was, 'Very Good'!

Yue Shanshan was undoubtedly skilled...

Meanwhile, after getting his plans ruined by Lin Chong and having his position stolen by Suho, the man behind the scenes could no longer control his emotions and was beginning to act recklessly.

He directly gave Yue Shanshan a phone call, "You need to start making preparations...We'll wait until Y/N finishes attending her best friend's wedding. Let's give her one last chance to be happy!"

Two nights before the much-anticipated 'Suho-Somi' wedding, Somi invited Y/N out for dinner. She did not originally plan to bring along any family members and simply wanted to share some alone time over dinner with her close girlfriend. But, because Suho was extremely doubtful of Somi's ability to avoid reporters, he ended up following her along.

On the rooftop of the 5-star hotel, there was a dazzling view of the starry night sky and impressive cityscape.

Y/N and Taehyung arrived first, but Taehyung went to the bathroom. While he wasn't around, Somi arrived, dressed in a black coat, glowing with the smile of a woman in love. Perhaps it was because her wedding was on the horizon, she wasn't wearing any blush, but her cheeks were still rosy, and it remained that way for the rest of the night. Meanwhile, Suho followed closely behind with a cautious wife-protecting aura. Those that witnessed it, couldn't help but think he was overacting a little.

"Where's President Kim? Did you come alone?"

Y/N glared at Somi and replied, "He's at the bathroom. Did you think I'd give you another chance to bully me?"

Somi let out a gentle laugh as she sat down on the chair that Suho pulled out. Y/N observed the couple sitting side-by-side, emanating with a sense of anticipation for their upcoming wedding – they completely encompassed the meaning of happiness.

"Miss Bride-to-be, are you happy?"

Somi blushed and looked down at her and Suho's intertwined hands. A diamond wedding ring sat perched on her finger, like a symbol of the couple's dazzling relationship. Her eyes slowly turned red as she answered with a choked up voice, "Happy!"

"As long as you are happy," Y/N said as she patted the back of Somi's other hand; her eyes were equally red. Both women's lives revolved around the entertainment industry, so only they could understand how hard it was to find true love in such a dirty environment.

"Why are your hands so cold?" Somi felt the iciness of Y/N's hand and flipped her hand to warm it. However, Taehyung appeared at this time, grabbed Y/N's hand and enveloped it between his warm palms.

Somi was stunned for a few seconds feeling like her offer was a little one-sided.

But, as usual, Taehyung did not show much emotion as he sat down, holding firmly to Y/N's hand. Of course, Suho was well accustomed to this. But, Somi felt a little anxious.

It was like she was sitting on the same dinner table as an ancient emperor. How could she not feel anxious?

Afterwards, Taehyung instructed a waiter to fetch a blanket for Y/N. Only after he covered her up did he feel a bit more relaxed.

Somi couldn't help but sigh as she watched the couple, "He sure is exceptionally thoughtful."

"Yes, I must have saved up 10 lifetimes of good karma," Y/N did not hold back on her appraisal of Taehyung as she intertwined her fingers with Taehyung's just like Suho and Somi.

Seeing this, Somi leaned over and whispered into Y/N's ear, "How about we go to another table without the men? I want to release a lantern!"

Y/N looked at the man beside her and nodded her head, "Tonight, you're the boss."

Afterwards, the two men were each abandoned by their own respective partner as they sat quietly in their seats watching their women.

Although she was a model, girly activities like releasing lanterns, wasn't something Somi could do on her own; she wasn't as capable as Y/N. So, she had no choice but to ask her man for help, "Suho."

Suho helplessly approached the two women. Seeing this, Taehyung, of course, could not remain seated. As he approached Y/N, he saw her calm expression, "What wish did you make?"

Y/N turned around and wrapped her arms around Taehyung's waist as she laughed, "May the nation be prosperous, may there be world peace and may Y/N and Taehyung be together forever."

The two lovers stood under the night sky and released their wish into the atmosphere. Taehyung then turned around and violently pulled Y/N into his embrace as he displayed a passionate kiss for all to see...

Perhaps, years from now, Y/N would be able to think back on this moment and still taste the sweetness of this double date and Somi's shy pre-wedding disposition...

Because after this, her fate would once again experience a shocking change.

...

The next day, the 'Suho-Somi' couple made their way to Bali to prepare for their wedding. Meanwhile, Y/N and Taehyung's flight was scheduled for 6pm.

The wedding wasn't on a grand scale, but because of Suho's understanding towards the media, they also made their way to Bali. However, Suho had one request: for them to respect the schedule and not to delay his big day in any way.

The media agreed to this request with a friendly laugh. To see a PR person like Suho, who interacted with the media throughout the year, treat them with understanding, they were really flattered. At the same time, Suho's thoughts represented Taehyung.

Meanwhile, staff responsible for photography, styling, and makeup also rushed towards Bali. It was at this time that Lin Chong finally realized his job was to photograph Somi; he was to photograph the entire wedding! Worst of all, at the time that he found out, he was already on the island and had no way of turning back.

"Lin Chong, I know you have a history with Somi, but...Somi is a nice person. She even agreed to have you photograph her wedding. Look at how great your situation is right now. You no longer have to hide, yet you get to capture better photos than before. Isn't this ideal?" his boss asked.

Lin Chong remained silent for a few moments before asking, "Will Taehyung and Y/N be attending?"

"Of course. They're also aware of your situation."

Lin Chong seemed to have suddenly realized what was going on. He turned around with a serious look on his face. Although over a dozen days had passed, the wounds on his face were still apparent, making his expression look extra fierce.

"Were Kim Entertainment the ones that helped me? Was it Taehyung?"

His boss patted him on the back and nodded, "To be exact, it was Y/N and Somi. During the time when you were abandoned by the world, they were the ones that didn't hold onto old grudges and gave you clothes, a job and most importantly helped you hold onto your pride."

"You should think carefully about whether you want to continue to misunderstand them. I can't deny that there are plenty of artists in the industry that just want fame and fortune, but Y/N and Somi are definitely not amongst them."

Lin Chong simply felt his boss' words were like one slap after another across his face, making him feel extremely ashamed...

"Of course, if you want to leave, I will not hold you back."

Y/N...

Lin Chong couldn't help but repeat this name in his mind. This was the woman he had sworn to capture a photo of and the woman he had tried so hard to defame. Yet, today she had protected his pride and given him a safe way out.

This must be Y/N's most important trait.

If Taehyung wasn't hers, then who could he possibly belong to.

How could he continue to hate a woman like this? In his heart, Lin Chong felt he had finally been convinced by Y/N.

So, he held up his camera and replied firmly, "I'll do it."

"You've made the right decision. Once you get to know her, you will realize Y/N is a person with loyalty and righteousness."

But, Lin Chong wondered if Y/N and Taehyung knew about J-King's plan to take over Kim Entertainment.

Bali's Kayumanis Nusa Dua. This was the place where Suho and Somi's beachside wedding ceremony was to be held. After the ceremony, a warm romantic candlelit dinner was scheduled for the wedding reception.

As the sun set, Kim Entertainment's artists and members of the media rushed to the venue. Each member of the media was given a 'thoughtful gift' on arrival and after they entered, they did not report aggressively. They simply took photos when needed and allowed the guests to feel relaxed.

In reality, the reason why the media were following the rules was because they had signed a confidentiality agreement beforehand. If they wanted an exclusive story and wanted to know what others didn't, then they would need to do as Suho said.

Of course, Suho's 'thoughtful gift' was quite generous, making the members of media smile from ear-to-ear.

As night hit, the tropical resort resounded with the melodious sound of violins and the rainforest-themed open space filled with celebrities. Suho was dressed in a silver handmade suit with a rose pinned to the front of his jacket. His arm was hooked around Somi's who was wearing a white lace dress. The couple looked like a match made in heaven bound for happiness.

They went around greeting all the guests. However, Taehyung and Y/N had not yet arrived.

"Hey, since President Kim hasn't arrived yet, I have a suggestion. Can our groom tell us the story of when he first fell in love with our bride and liven the atmosphere?" a playful artist suggested loudly. The scene of the pre-wedding reception suddenly erupted in applause and excited whistles.

The couple stood upon the stage as Somi hid in Suho's arms. He then laughed, "My wife is a little shy..."

"It's fine that she is shy, you can still tell us your story," the guests exclaimed.

Suho glanced down at Somi and continued to resist, "This is an important story that I need to tell my wife first. How can you guys be treated to such a benefit?"

"Sister-in-law, if you continue to hide like this, it's no fun!"

Somi's face turned red as she murmured from Suho's embrace, "Go ahead and tell them. I also want to know."

"Haha, sister-in-law agreed. Quick, Vice President Suho, tell us."

Suho sighed and accepted his fate, "Fine." He then grabbed the microphone from the MC and explained to the guests, "Actually, she entered Kim Entertainment before me, so technically, she is my senior. I still remember the first time I saw her. As I looked into her eyes, I thought to myself, this woman definitely has a story to tell."

"To be honest, the first time I felt something for her was when she was hurt and sent to the hospital. At that time, she had completely lost hope in life. I realized when I saw her my heart felt extremely anxious; I didn't know how I could help her..."

"All along I had thought my feelings were purely friendship based. It was not until she offended a government official that it finally occurred to me, everything I did for her wasn't necessary, yet I could never seem to help myself."

"I know a lot of people still think of her as a pair of broken shoes and that she isn't worthy of me, but I want to say something from the bottom of my heart: the thing I am most impressed with is her persistent courage. No matter how many times she gets hurt, she will still stand up for her friends. No matter how much pain she goes through, she can still gather the strength to start all over again."

"I feel a person like her, walks around with a glowing aura!"

"Even when I am going through a dark period, one look at her is enough to point me in the right direction. So, I want to do all I can to protect her and protect my light source."

Hearing this, all those present were moved by his words. A few of the sensitive celebrities even had to wipe their teary eyes.

It seemed, only they would mutually understand the difficulties of the industry.

As for Somi who was in Suho's arms, she almost cried her eyes out...

Meanwhile, Lin Chong was standing not too far away wearing a cap and pretending to be a member of staff. After hearing Suho's words, he didn't know if it was because of the influence from people around him, but he actually felt a little moved.

"Well said. How touching!" everyone stood up and cheered. At this time, someone finally spotted Y/N and Taehyung had arrived.

"Oh God, the Boss is here..."

"President Kim..."

Taehyung was dressed in a black retro custom-made suit and upon his neck was a dark red square scarf. He gave off the presence of British royalty with a respectable aura. Hooked on his arm was Y/N. She was wearing a light blue A-line dress which showed off her shockingly unique legs.

"Boss, Boss!"

"Y/N, Y/N!"

Taehyung originally wanted to walk towards Suho. But, after he saw where the couple was standing, he raised his eyebrows and stopped. Instead, he led Y/N to a seat amongst the guests.

"President Kim, Suho said he will be more handsome than you tomorrow!" someone prodded jokingly.

Taehyung sat down with Y/N and replied calmly, "Perhaps in Somi's eyes, he already is. But, to everyone else, he is still far from it."

"Ha ha ha..."

Everyone laughed. Of course, from his tone of voice, they could tell he was in a relatively good mood.

"President Kim, when will you and Y/N have your turn? Bali is gorgeous, we really want to come here more often."

"Yes, that's right..."

Taehyung turned his head and looked at Y/N. But she simply smiled at him without a word. So, Taehyung could only answer, "In that case, from next month onwards I won't be paying you your salary. I will save it up and eventually buy you a property in Bali."

"President Kim, don't do that!"

Everyone once again exploded in laughter...

Because of Taehyung and Y/N's arrival, the atmosphere had completely been uplifted. Meanwhile, in the distance, Lin Chong looked at Y/N and Taehyung from behind his camera, especially at the woman he once detested; the woman he could no longer hate.

"Y/N, Y/N...is President Kim also this cheeky at home?" someone gathered their courage and teased the couple. Making Taehyung turn around in surprise.

Since they were questioned, Y/N could only answer, "If you can outdrink him, I'll tell you how he is like at home."

"Pfft, who doesn't know that President Kim is a crazy good drinker!"

Taehyung pinched the back of Y/N's hand, "Did you say that on purpose? If I really end up getting drunk, you will suffer tonight!"

"How badly will I suffer?" Y/N had never seen Taehyung drunk.

"Fine. Since you want to see, I'll show you later..." Taehyung revealed a mysterious smile.

Y/N nodded her head. She refused to believe Taehyung was the type to lose control when he got drunk. He was probably the type to still act serious even when he had too much.

But...

...the truth was not how she expected.

However, while they started off the wedding celebrations full of cheers in Bali, J-King was passionately preparing the start of his revolt back in Seoul...

The wedding reception continued until 11pm. By the time Y/N helped the drunk Taehyung back to their room, he simply closed his eyes and did not say a word. Of course, his face also didn't go red nor did he do anything typical of a drunk person. He was exactly the way Y/N guessed he'd be. No matter how drunk Taehyung got, it seemed he'd never do something out of character.

Y/N placed Taehyung on the bed and turned to fill the bathtub for him, but Taehyung suddenly grabbed onto her arm and pulled her into his embrace.

"You reek of alcohol. Go have a bath first."

Taehyung slowly opened his eyes and stared into Y/N's eyes, "Didn't you say that you want to see me drunk?"

"How are you drunk?" Y/N punched him playfully on the chest. "I really want to know how your alcohol tolerance is so high. Everyone was defeated by you."

"I can't get drunk," Taehyung replied in a serious tone.

This simple response somehow allowed Y/N to sense the pain that Taehyung felt.

Once upon a time, before Taehyung reached the top, he often talked business over drinks. If he couldn't remain sober...Y/N was afraid to think of what could have happened.

"Go have a bath..."

"But, you can pretend I'm drunk," Taehyung flopped his body lifelessly, allowing Y/N to do what she wanted with him.

"I think I prefer the sober you. I want you to hug me and tell me stories."

"But, I want to do something else..." Afer speaking, Taehyung stood up and lifted Y/N horizontally in his arms, "Since the alcohol has lightened our mood, let's not waste this beautiful room in Bali."

...

The next day. It was the official date of Somi and Suho's wedding. As they both didn't have any family elders attending, they kept everything simple.

It seemed, Y/N was the only guest representing Somi's side.

Little Sana was the flower girl, but, of course, her identity was not revealed. It wasn't because Suho and Somi were scared, it was because they didn't want her to attract media attention at such a young age.

Inside their wedding suite, Somi was already dressed in a strapless white gown. As she didn't like puffy designs, the hem of her dress was pleated and dragged across the floor.

"What do you think?" Somi asked Y/N as she stood in front of the mirror.

"Beautiful..."

"Are you jealous?" Somi asked as she swayed her dress with a smirk

Y/N ignored her as she received Somi's veil from the makeup artist and helped her put it on, "From now on, you are a married woman. Don't ever get into a fight with anyone because of me and end up offending a government official again."

Somi got teary underneath her veil as she said in a choked up voice, "I will be happy."

"You, must," Y/N also wiped some tears from her eyes.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door. It seemed the groom was here to collect his bride. As there were no parents or elders attending, they were scheduled to head straight to the beachside wedding ceremony.

The wedding was so simple that Somi didn't even have any bridesmaids...

A moment later, the front door opened to reveal Suho standing in the doorway wearing a light grey suit. In his hands was a bouquet of pink and white roses. As he reached Somi, he knelt down on one knee, "Let's get married..."

Somi received the roses from Suho and pulled him up off the floor. They quietly hugged each other; for that short moment, it felt like there was no one else in the world.

The wedding ceremony was extremely simple, but it didn't mean Somi was simple in Suho's eyes.

Somi was wearing earrings and a necklace, both from Tiffany Victoria's premium collection and the snowflake-shaped design was delicately studded with white diamonds.

On top of that, her wedding dress was custom-made by T&H and was valued at a few million dollars. It was the best design from their global collector's edition.

Finally, her shoes were from Rene Caovila. They were a pair of silver high heeled shoes that were adorned with a feminine bow design. Rumor had it, this was the brand frequently used by the British Royal Family.

In reality, Suho had put all his time and effort into his bride. People witnessing the wedding could tell how much Suho treasured her.

...

At the scene of the beachside wedding, a beautiful archway was decorated with fresh flowers as it sat by the water. The setup fused perfectly with the world around it.

Meanwhile, the winding path that led to the archway was covered in pretty pink rose petals.

Under the eyes of the wedding guests, Somi was led down the rose petal covered path by an elder from Kim Entertainment (in place of her father), all the way to the awaiting Suho, "If Somi's parents were still around, I'm sure they would be happy to see this."

"If your parents saw us getting married, would they have been happy?" Taehyung asked Y//N.

Y/N froze...so Taehyung wrapped his arm tighter around her shoulder, "I guess I shouldn't have brought that up..."

Y/N shook her head relieved they were moving on from the topic.

The wedding continued to progress under the eyes of all the wedding guests.

However, at this time, a blogger named 'Candy' suddenly put up a blog post online about her dislike towards Yue Shanshan. She used all sorts of insults targeted at women and completely humiliated her.

As a response, netizens started to dig through her archives to see who she was and realized all her previous posts had been praises towards Y/N; she was an obvious 'Y/N Fan'.

Her blog post immediately provoked the 'Yue Fans' to attack the 'Y/N Fans' in retaliation.

How could they compare someone from the modelling industry to someone from film and television? In the end, it didn't take long for the Yue Fans to completely drown out the Y/N Fans.

"Who does Y/N think she is? How could her fans be so arrogant?!"

"If Kim Entertainment doesn't apologize to our Shanshan, we won't let this issue settle!"

Even though the Y/N Fans quickly tried to explain that the blogger's account had been hacked and they weren't going to be provoked, the Yue Fans did not back down. They even started multiple discussions demanding for an apology from Y/N.

The issue originally started as an argument between fans, but it quickly escalated. Due to a fight between fans, one of the Yue Fans ended up being sent to hospital...

This completely stirred up the entertainment industry...

Once violence amongst fans happened, it would become a huge flaw for an artist. Especially when that artist was easy to defame like Y/N.

At this time, Chanyeol was watching over Kim Entertainment in Taehyung and Suho's absence. As soon as he noticed the situation escalating out of hand, he immediately gave Taehyung a phone call and initiated a PR plan.

"President, we have an issue," Chanyeol reported anxiously, "Yue Shanshan has contacted Kim Entertainment via the production team saying she refuses to continue filming. However, her parts are almost finished."

Taehyung's eyes darkened as he went to check the news.

Seeing the abnormality in Taehyung's expression, Y/N turned to question him, but Taehyung gestured for her to continue watching the ceremony as he left to make a phone call.

Lin Chong, who had been snapping photos from a hidden position, spotted Taehyung get up. His expression also changed. He then saw Y/N get up to find Taehyung in a quiet corner.

"Is there something urgent?"

"No there isn't..." Taehyung replied, "I will handle it later."

Y/N didn't believe him as she pulled out her phone. As soon as she saw the hottest news headline, she had no time to care about herself as she questioned Taehyung, "If Yue Shanshan refuses to continue filming, what will happen to your film?"

"Silly, at a time like this, shouldn't you be worrying about yourself?" Taehyung didn't know what to do about his silly wife.

"Yue Shanshan never retreated, did she?" Y/N asked as she realized what had happened. "If that's the case, then don't hold back...we already gave her a chance."

"I will return to Seoul first to handle it. You continue enjoying the wedding..."

"I'll go with you," Y/N didn't show any signs of anger towards her own defamation because she knew the enemy was actually targeting Taehyung.

They wanted to challenge his authority...

Were they for real?

Just as the Kim Couple were about to bid farewell to the new couple, Y/N spotted Lin Chong in the distance. Their eyes met, but Y/N did not say anything as she held onto Taehyung's hand and left.

Lin Chong was already aware of the situation in Seoul; he knew J-King had already made a move.

Compared to his small attacks, J-King had the intention to completely destroy Y/N with his defamation. Of course, he had to do this, if he didn't go to this extreme, would Taehyung be placed in a situation where he had to go up against his agency's higher-ups?

Meanwhile, Yue Shanshan refused to continue filming as a response to her fan being hit.

She wanted Kim Entertainment to respond and she wanted Y/N to respond.

She wanted to get justice for the fan that had been sent to hospital!

As soon as Lin Chong saw news of this, he didn't know why he had the urge to laugh. He wanted to laugh at his disgraceful past and at J-King's despicable actions. J-King was indeed someone who wanted to steal Taehyung's power, but Lin Chong felt he really needed to bow down to J-King's shameful self-scripting, self-directing act. In the end, he put down his camera and handed a message to one of the waiters to pass onto Y/N. He then booked a flight back to Seoul.

As Y/N left, she received the message from one of the waiters. The message inside was simple: "J-King is trying to challenge Taehyung's authority. His father is Kim Entertainment's Director Ceng."

Y/N handed the message to Taehyung. She then looked around to find that Lin Chong had completely disappeared.

Since Lin Chong was a reporter, he was going to show everyone what he was good at. However, unlike the past, his intention was different. He wasn't going to defame Y/N this time, he was going to do something that surprised even himself; he was going to get justice for her.

Defaming a person was easy, but defending someone's innocence was a different story. However, saving someone was more satisfying and challenging than defaming them.

Upon seeing the name on the message, Taehyung was not surprised. J-King was also amongst his list of suspects.

Did he want Kim Entertainment?

He sure had the guts.

However, challenging Taehyung's authority was still within the boundaries of what he could tolerate.

What he truly couldn't tolerate was the fact that Y/N was implicated...

...

As soon as the couple returned to Seoul, Taehyung rushed over to Kim Entertainment. Upon seeing Taehyung, Chanyeol immediately approached him, "I can't get in contact with Yue Shanshan, it seems she has no intention to talk to us. She obviously wants us to show some sincerity and apologize. At the moment, the fans have turned this into a huge mess."

"Above all, the injured fan won't come to a compromise. It appears she wants to go to court."

"President..."

"That's enough." Taehyung entered his office and instructed, "Contact Star Art Agency and tell them to get hold of Yue Shanshan. Afterwards, give Director Ceng a call and tell him to come to my office."

"President, this issue has damaged the madam too much."

"I know," Taehyung replied coldly. He knew that from now on, no matter what Kim Entertainment did, the anti-fans had already condemned Y/N for what had happened. And no matter what Y/N did, the Yue Fans would automatically feel disgusted.

It was originally something that had nothing to do with Y/N. But, the fan's deeds were their idol's fault; this was what everyone believed. So, what the 'fake' fan did this time had completely destroyed the image Y/N worked so hard to build.

The modelling industry VS the film and television industry.

It seemed the modelling industry was bound to lose.

...

Meanwhile, the first thing Y/N did when she got home was contact Rose. She then used Rose's account to log in to her fan website.

She did not say anything, but she quickly extracted information from discussions. The problem-causing account was indeed hacked and the violent fan had no proof that he was her fan.

This self-scripting, self-directing act was too obvious...

Most importantly, the timing of the issue had caused the filming of 'Stupid' to be put on hold.

In order to protect her fan, Yue Shanshan risked breaching her contract in order to get justice from Kim Entertainment. This belief significantly boosted her reputation online. On the other hand, Y/N's reputation was destroyed.

"Everyone, don't be afraid and don't complain. Anyone that can present evidence, feel free to post it online."

"Oh...are you Y/N? You sound like Y/N."

"It must be Y/N!"

Y/N's fans were filled with excitement. But, unlike last time, as soon as they were told to calm down, they obediently did as told.

"This time, you guys have suffered. But I hope everyone can keep themselves out of the situation. I don't want you to get hurt because of me."

"Y/N, we are innocent, we didn't do anything. You need to believe us," one fan pleaded emotionally.

"I believe you, but you also need to believe me."

"OK! As long as it comes from your mouth, we will believe it."

Her fans gradually expressed their agreement not to get involved with any arguments and not to complain. A better use of their free time was to donate to charity, take note of national news and to help those in need. They didn't make false promises; they immediately put their words to action and turned their focus completely to charity. They believed that one day, their actions would become the most painful slap across the face for those that misunderstood them.

...

7pm. Star Art finally buckled under pressure from Kim Entertainment and gave them Yue Shanshan's contact details. Chanyeol successfully connected a phone call and transferred it straight to Taehyung's office.

However, after picking up the phone, Taehyung remained quiet for quite some time. He was deliberately making Yue Shanshan nervous...

Finally, Yue Shanshan couldn't hold on anymore and started talking in fear.

"President Kim, I'm sure I've already expressed my standpoint clearly. Kim Entertainment better find a solution soon," Yue Shanshan thought her words were lethal to Taehyung.

But, of course, by this time, Taehyung had already disregarded the fact that Yue Shanshan was once his classmate. So, he responded in an icy cold tone, "You better know who you are talking to."

Yue Shanshan's heart almost beat out of her chest...

"I heard that you want Y/N and Kim Entertainment to apologize. Am I right?"

"Y...Yes..." Yue Shanshan was beginning to stutter and her palms were getting sweaty.

She didn't know why...

...when faced with Taehyung, especially the Taehyung at this moment, she would involuntarily be filled with fear...

Perhaps it was because no one knew what he was thinking and what he planned to do.

"Originally, I would have just replaced you quietly. But, too bad you've implicated Y/N."

"I...that..."

"I think you may have misunderstood the phone call today. I did not call to compromise...Yue Shanshan, you should be well aware that there is no such thing as next time when it comes to me. From now on, within the entertainment industry, I will simply make you suffer!" After he was done talking, Taehyung directly hung up the phone; he never intended on having a proper conversation with Yue Shanshan.

This time, Yue Shanshan was the one to panic...

What was she to do?

Compared to J-King, Taehyung was much scarier.

Afterwards, Yue Shanshan contacted J-King. But, J-King simply sneered, "Yue Shanshan, if you dare to back out, don't dream of ever seeing your child again! Did you think we could still turn back?"
