Hye-ri glanced at her friend. After receiving her support, she took a deep breath and faced the media. She started off with a bow, "Hello, friends of the media."

"I am Lee Hye-ri, the daughter-in-law of the chairman of Park Corp. If you are still unfamiliar with who I am, let me introduce to you my other identity: I am the mother of Park Y/N. Today, I stand before you because I have something I want to say."

"It seems the rumors are true. The Park Family really does have big news to reveal..."

"If she is the daughter-in-law, then that must mean she is the rumored mistress."

"Wasn't it revealed previously that Y/N's mother is a mistress?"

The reporters below the stage were deep in discussion because the secret that was about to be revealed had sparked their interests. After all, Y/N was involved.

Y/N had gone from being a model to an actress and every step took place in front of the media. Even today, she was still the center of attention even though her mother was the one that was standing in front of everyone.

"I've been called a mistress for many years now, so over time I've already gotten used to this nickname. I've always felt that keeping a secret for the sake of a loved one is worth it because everyone has their own story. But, I've recently realized, by accepting this fate, I've brought a whole world of pain to my daughter."

"She debuted at 17-years-old and has never asked the Park Family for a cent. As a result, she went through many struggles to get to where she is today. But recently, because of me, she has had to feel shame; I feel extremely sorry towards her," Hye-ri said in seriousness as she tried her best to magnify her voice so everyone could hear it.

"In that case Mrs. Park, are you here to make an apology?" one of the female reporters immediately asked.

"No, I'm not here to apologize..."

"I'm here to clarify something."

"Because if I don't speak up now, there is no guarantee that my daughter won't continue to be schemed against."

As soon as these words left her mouth, the media were in shock.

It was too obvious what she was referring to; it seemed, she knew who the culprit behind Y/N's recent accident was.

"It sounds like you know who planned the accident on the set of 'Hidden Expert'."

"Oh my God..."

"I know who it is, but I have no evidence. So, the only other thing I can do is stand before you all today and tell you I am no mistress..." As Hye-ri spoke, her voice trembled. "Today, I will be revealing the entire truth."

"My husband's first wife was not the heiress of Zhongheng Enterprise, Liang Fengqing. His first wife was..." At this moment, Hye-ri was interrupted by her friend. She had received a phone call from Elder Park.

"Do you want to pick it up?"

Hye-ri looked at the media and back at her friend. In order to prevent herself from backing out, she stood firmly on the stage. Just before she picked up the phone, she said to the media, "Please wait two minutes while I take an important phone call."

She then picked up the phone and greeted Elder Park.

"Hye-ri, I heard about the press conference you are holding."

"Father, sorry...but Gyeong-ree has hurt Y/N too badly this time. I can no longer tolerate it. I must let Y/N know that the three siblings are the actual children of a mistress. Y/N and I have endured too much, I don't want to endure anymore..."

"I won't blame you. If you want to reveal it, then go ahead, I also want to hear about it," Elder Park replied in a low voice. "I simply hope that you won't say it in a way where it would hurt the other two innocent children."

"If not for them two, I would have announced it long ago." After speaking, Hye-ri hung up the phone and handed it back to her friend. She then continued what she was doing, "Sorry everyone, let's continue."

To help the reporters better understand the situation, Hye-ri gave a brief update on the status of the Park Family. The Park Family had always kept their secrets tightly under wraps, so the media had no interest in them until recently when Y/N was revealed as the child of a mistress.

"How do you plan to prove your innocence, today?"

"I can't believe a mistress won't admit to being a mistress!"

"Liang Fengqing isn't even around anymore. No matter what you say, you can't verify it!"

The reporters bombarded her with doubt.

These words were perhaps the same thoughts that were running through Gyeong-ree's mind. She definitely thought Hye-ri was shameless. How dare she talk so loudly in front of the media without feeling embarrassed.

"Who said there's no way to verify it?" Hye-ri pulled out an old marriage certificate, a family photo and a few small items from her bag. She then showed each one to the media, "This here, clearly shows the time and date that I got married to Park Kyung. And here, this shows when he married Liang Fengqing. As you can see, I married Park Kyung 6 years prior to her."

"I also want to reveal that Gyeong-ree is not the eldest grandchild of the Park Family. In fact, I also had a son: Y/N's older brother, who unfortunately passed away from Pneumonia at the age of two."

"All of you must be curious how and why Park Kyung married two women, right?"

"It was because, at the time that we first met, my grandfather started him off as an entry-level staff for training. When we first met, I had no idea of his true identity. We ended up getting married on impulse without notifying our parents."

"However, my life turned into a nightmare after my son died. I was suffering from so much grief that I was often ill. During this time, Park Kyung secretly met with Liang Fengqing and had two children with her. He then intended on getting a divorce with me, but then, I suddenly fell pregnant with Y/N."

"After giving birth to Y/N, I discovered he had been having an affair. So, that was when we officially filed for a divorce." After speaking, Hye-ri pulled out some divorce papers. Again, the date and time were clearly marked.

"A while after our divorce, Liang Fengqing ended up passing away while giving birth to her third child. At this time, Park Kyung suggested for Y/N to reunite with her family. So, for the sake of my daughter, we ended up moving into the Park Family home."

"However, it was only afterwards that I discovered...I had suddenly become known as a mistress..."

"It turned out, while Park Kyung was maintaining a marriage with me and pretending to be a poor entry-level worker, he had held a fancy wedding with Liang Fengqing using his wealthy identity. And it was only after we got divorced that they officially got registered."

"This is the reason why Gyeong-ree is 29-years-old, but her parents haven't even been married for 25 years."

"Park Kyung begged me not to reveal the truth because he didn't want his other three children to realize their father was a jerk. So, to prevent them from getting hurt, I ended up enduring all the misunderstanding."

"I thought, as husband and wife, it was best to cherish what we had. Everyone makes mistakes at some point in their lives, but no matter how big a mistake he made, it was already in the past. But, only now do I realize I can't ignore the pain my daughter has suffered..."

"She is a legitimate child!"

"Y/N did not marry Taehyung as a mistress' daughter!"

At this moment in time, faced with the dirty reporters and the black hole of cameras, Hye-ri laid her 20 plus years of secrets on the table.

She was no longer afraid of being embarrassed.

Between her daughter and husband, she had already chosen the wrong side for too many years. Now was the time to put everything back in order.

"I hope the media can stop insulting my daughter by calling her the daughter of a mistress. I, Hye-ri, am the legitimate wife of Park Kyung, and my daughter Y/N is his legitimate child."

"If you are still doubtful, I can lend you the evidence...none of this can be forged."

"I would also like to make a vow. From now on, I won't let anyone hurt my daughter again."

The media snapped frantically at the stage with their cameras; they wanted to capture every little detail of Hye-ri's facial expressions.

Who would have thought, the Park Family had such a scandal.

And who would have thought, this was the true story behind Y/N's birth...

As for Hye-ri, no one expected she'd finally reveal all her husband's wrongdoings for the sake of her daughter...

"Mrs. Park, by making this revelation today, are you not afraid someone will come looking for revenge?"

Faced with the reporter's question, Hye-ri sneered as she wiped her tears and replied, "The fact that I am standing here in front of you today means that I was already prepared for the family to fall apart. I want my daughter to stand tall and proud. From now on, no matter if she's walking on the runway or acting in a film, she can hold her head high knowing her mother has never done anything shameless."

"Revenge? As long as my daughter leads a good life, I'm not afraid of revenge."

"So, thank you everyone for attending today."

After hearing her response, the reporters broke out in discussions.

"The internal battle in the Park Family must be so bad that Y/N's situation has forced Mrs. Park to speak up."

"When Y/N fell, I thought it had something to do with competition within the industry. But, if it was actually done by someone in the Park Family, I can understand why Mrs. Park decided to step out and protect her daughter. After all, this incident could have taken her life."

"That's right! In fact, this Mrs. Park has been much too generous and forgiving. If it was me, I could never endure so much for the sake of someone else's children, let alone push my own daughter away."

"Regardless, the truth has now been revealed and everyone knows Y/N is the truly legitimate child. It seems, Mrs. Park will need to be cautious of revenge from both the Park and Liang family now."

Revenge...

She wasn't afraid of revenge.

In this lifetime, Park Kyung betrayed her once and she betrayed him back, so weren't they even?

"Hye-ri, I never knew you had it so tough," her friend sighed as she patted her on the shoulder, "It's good that you've revealed everything. I'm sure Y/N will understand..."

After revealing everything, Hye-ri felt like her heart had been torn out of her chest. She didn't know how she ended up leaving the stage, she simply saw Park Kyung appear at the doorway of the hall. But...as soon as their eyes meet, she looked away.

She didn't want the Park Family no more, she just wanted her daughter...

The two women quickly left the hall and headed to their room with the assistance of security. However, as soon as the door closed, Hye-ri emotionally collapsed.

"Keeping this secret for so many years has really been tough on you," her friend comforted as she wrapped her arms around her and gently patted her on back. "Since you've already made your decision, you should continue moving forward bravely. Things aren't so bad, you still have your daughter and your son-in-law."

"Let me go wash my face..." Hye-ri pulled away from her friend's embrace and stumbled into the bathroom. Even though her friend was worried, she knew she had to give her some personal space and time to recover.

However, 10 minutes passed, but the bathroom door remained closed...

Her friend hesitated for a moment before she decided to get up and check on the situation. But suddenly, a succession of frantic knocks echoed through the room, followed by Y/N's voice...

"Auntie Ji woo, open the door..."

Ji woo was in shock as she ran straight to the door and opened it.

In the doorway stood Taehyung and Y/N. They were both so tall that people couldn't help but look up at them.

"Your mother's been in the bathroom for a while. I am a little worried."

Y/N took a glance at the man behind her and Taehyung quickly responded by giving Chanyeol a phone call. 2 minutes later, the hotel manager appeared with a room card and handed it to Y/N.

Y/N used the card to open the bathroom door and entered. As soon as she walked in, she saw Hye-ri sitting beside the bathtub. She almost broke down in tears if not for the man behind her giving her strength.

"Mom..." Y/N called softly.

Hearing this, Hye-ri slowly glanced over. As soon as she saw Y/N, tears rolled out of her eyes, "You're finally willing to call me that."

Y/N slowly walked over to Hye-ri and knelt down in front of her. She then held her icy cold hands, "I've been a bad daughter."

"No, you haven't done anything wrong. You've remembered everything your mother has taught you." Hye-ri took a deep breath. She had missed her daughter; she had wished to hear her call her 'mom' for a very long time.

"Then, let's not speak of this again. What's in the past is in the past. From now on, let's live happily together."

"No...I still need to help you get back what you deserve," Hye-ri shook her head in refusal. Originally, she had already made a decision to do the worst thing she could, but if she was to disappear forever, who was to control the people from the Park Family? "You are a legitimate child of the Park Family, you don't need to lower your head to anybody. Mom was too selfish in the past. As a result, you were put through so many years of pain."

"Now, I've thought everything over clearly."

"I no longer plan to avoid the Park Family. In fact, I will take back everything that belongs to us."

"You like to act, right? Continue doing what you're doing. As long as you and Taehyung are happy, mom will be happy." Hye-ri cupped her hands around Y/N's face and continued, "If Gyeong-ree wants to harm you, mom won't allow it. So...I will become the head of the Park Family home!"

"I was too weak in the past. From now on, I will protect you..."

In the midst of this moment, Y/N felt like she had been punched in the heart.

Over the years, she had never been nice to her mother. Who would have thought that she had suffered so much.

"But..."

"This is your mother's decision. As her daughter, you should respect it," Taehyung pulled Y/N into his arms and wrapped her in his warm embrace, "She has her own wishes to fulfill..."

"Taehyung's right," Hye-ri wiped away her tears and stood up. She then took a couple steps towards Y/N and Taehyung and declared, "From now on, you not only have your husband. You also have mom."

Y/N's tears flowed uncontrollably from her eyes as she wrapped her arms around her mother. As for Taehyung, he found himself wrapping his long arms around the two women.

"That's enough. How old are you? If the media catches you crying like this, your image will be destroyed...after that, no matter how good your films are, no one will watch it," Hye-ri teased.

"Y/N, mom feels safe leaving you in the hands of Taehyung, but there is one important thing I haven't done yet." As she spoke these words, her eyes looked confident and firm.

She had finally understood something.

To truly protect Y/N and allow her to do what she enjoyed, she had no choice but to fight for power within the family.

Gyeong-ree: the true daughter of a mistress. It was time for her to step down from the position of Acting President!

"Elder Park just called. He asked you all to return to the Park Family home," Ji woo said to the trio as she stepped into the doorway of the bathroom.

"No, we won't go to them," Hye-ri refused, "I've already done so much for them over the years. It's time for them to come to me."

Ji woo looked at her friend and realized, once a woman's heart was hardened, it could be strong enough to destroy the earth.

In the past, this could be witnessed via Y/N. Now, Hye-ri was the same.

Of course, pulling oneself up from a painful abyss was difficult, but bravely moving forward was the only way to break through to a new life of freedom.

...

[Breaking News! Y/N's True Identity!]

[To Protect her Daughter, Mother Park Steps Out and Exposes Husband's Secret.]

[Secrets of the Rich Revealed: Two Families Involved in Shocking Scandal!]"

...

Without a doubt, the Park Family's scandal immediately jumped to the top of search rankings. After all, with both Y/N and her birth secret involved, the drawing power was incomparable.

Plus, the way that the story unfolded was much too entertaining for those that followed it. After all, the person originally labeled a mistress, turned out to be legitimate and even had to put up with years of suffering and judgment. While the woman that claimed to be legitimate turned out to be the one that was involved in an affair; her actions were completely immoral!

As the scandal involved both a famous celebrity and wealthy socialite family, the public couldn't help gossiping about it.

"Now that I think about it carefully, back when Y/N had her accident, rumors suddenly started out of nowhere about her keeping ghosts. At that time, the rumor went completely viral; she was even replaced by the producer of her film. If this series of events was instigated by someone in the Park Family, then that's quite terrifying."

"This is nothing. In the world of the wealthy, people would do anything for the sake of power."

"Quick, look. An analysis post has been placed online."

"Who is Kim Entertainment looking for? And who was Hye-ri referring to? It has to be her: the eldest daughter of the Park Family - Gyeong-ree!"

"It has been rumored that Gyeong-ree and Y/N are on bad terms. In fact, Gyeong-ree was the reason that Y/N left the Park Family."

"This Park Family heiress is brutal. I've met her in the past. She is arrogant and snobby!"

The netizens were undoubtedly powerful. So, it didn't take long for them to come to the conclusion that Y/N's accident had something to do with Gyeong-ree.

Because, out of everyone in the Park Family, she was the only one at odds with Y/N.

"It seems, Hye-ri had reached her limit. That's why she stepped out to reveal the truth. I guess the almighty heiress has now turned into a mistress' daughter."

"And here she was being all shameless and bullying the legitimate heiress. She deserved being exposed by Hye-ri!"

"Y/N left home at 17 and has been working hard on her own, yet Gyeong-ree still wouldn't let her go. She is much too cruel."

All of a sudden, information about the three illegitimate siblings was dug up by netizens.

Of course, the reaction of the Park Family was also quite interesting...

After seeing news about the press conference, Elder Park sat in his study room for quite some time without saying a word. At the same time, over at the hospital and college, Cho-rong and Jimin were surprised, but...they somehow felt that it wasn't bad for the revelation to be made. After all, Gyeong-ree had made a mess of the Park Family and had almost gone out of control.

Meanwhile, from the time the press conference ended, Park Kyung remained hidden in the hotel bathroom, too afraid to step out. He simply sat on the floor in disbelief because he couldn't believe what Hye-ri had done to him.

It felt like something she shouldn't have done, but at the same time, it was reasonable for her to have done it!

The only one to react angrily was Gyeong-ree, who jumped out of her seat as soon as she saw the news. In disbelief, she turned to her assistant and asked, "Is this a joke? This must be a part of the b*tch's trick, right?"

"How could I possibly be the daughter of a mistress?"

"My mother is the heiress of Liang Corp! How could she be a mistress?"

"How is this possible?"

"I don't believe it. I refuse to believe it," Gyeong-ree took a few steps back and leaned on her office chair in a daze. It was obvious she couldn't accept what had happened.

"President Park. This is all real," her assistant replied, "Madam Park presented everyone with evidence..."

"Evidence can be forged."

"But, the original records can't be forged."

"I don't care..." Gyeong-ree had suffered a huge blow. As she slid lifelessly onto the floor, she cried, "I am the Park Family heiress. Y/N is the daughter of a mistress! She has to be!"

Her assistant looked at her and took a few steps to the side. It was obvious that Gyeong-ree couldn't accept the truth. No matter who tried to comfort her at a time like this, they were bound to be treated like an enemy.

For a woman that was power-hungry to be told that her mother was actually a mistress and have it revealed in front of the entire nation, how was she to ever face the world again?

Her assistant suddenly felt sympathy for her; Hye-ri's attack was much too ruthless...

It hit Gyeong-ree so bad that she couldn't fight back.

Everything she did had completely backfired on her. It took so much scheming to think of the cruelest way to deal with Y/N, yet, in the end, she received her retribution and dug her own grave.

This time, not only did the entire nation know she was the daughter of a mistress, they also found out how she ruthlessly schemed against her own sister!

So, it was no surprise that Gyeong-ree was sitting on the floor in a daze.

How was she to ever step foot out the front door again?

Her assistant simply kept her company and watched over her. Eventually, Elder Park made a phone call, "How's Gyeong-ree?"

"Chairman, she is not doing well," the assistant replied honestly. "She's sitting on the floor, not saying a word, completely in a daze."

"Bring her home. She should meet with Hye-ri, admit to her wrongdoings and offer an apology."

"OK, I'll bring her home now," the assistant nodded.

"Also, she should step down from the position of Acting President...From now on, she shouldn't dream of touching the Park Family business again."

The assistant hung up the phone with a dark look in his eyes, but he still walked over to Gyeong-ree and helped her off the floor, "The Chairman wants me to take you home."

Gyeong-ree glanced at her assistant. Perhaps it was because she mistook him for her husband, she pounced forward, wrapped him in a hug and cried.

The assistant sighed. Just as he was about to take her downstairs, Gyeong-ree's actual husband appeared from the elevator...

As soon as he saw the two huddled up together, he was obviously shocked, "Let her go!"

The assistant was surprised as he quickly tried to explain, "The Chairman..."

"Don't tell me there's still something going on between the two of you in private!"

"Mr. Zhong, please don't misunderstand," the assistant bowed with respect.

"Hmmph," Gyeong-ree's husband grabbed onto her hand and pulled her into the elevator.

In reality, he was quite fired up too. From the time that he married Gyeong-ree, she had continuously begged him to let her work and refused to have children. Now, it was discovered that she hurt her own sister for the sake of power and had been exposed on national news. He was, after all, the owner of a famous shipping company. How could he let the public look at him in ridicule because of his wife?

Above all, Gyeong-ree's true identity as a mistress' daughter had been proven!

So, his family had a lot of opinions towards her; not only did she not want children, her identity wasn't clean...

It was obvious this marriage was reaching its limits.

But, worst of all was the look in her assistant's eyes...

...it always made him feel uncomfortable.

After the press conference, Taehyung took Y/N and Hye-ri back to Hannam Dong.

"Help mom freshen up while I prepare some food for the two of you." Taehyung gently patted Y/N's head and warned, "Today, I'll let you cry...but, only today."

Y/N nodded her head and pulled Hye-ri towards her wardrobe, "Mom, you can wear my clothes for now."

Hye-ri scanned her eyes across the couple's home. It was such a huge villa, yet it did not feel cold and empty. Even though only two people lived in it, it gave one the feeling that it was thoughtfully put together. As she looked at a photo of the couple, Hye-ri calmed down and praised, "Y/N, you and Taehyung match each other very well."

"By the way, why is he the one that is cooking?"

"He makes dinner whenever he's not too busy. Plus, he doesn't like to see me enter the kitchen because he wants to protect my legs." Y/N pulled out a set of home clothes and handed them to Hye-ri, "If you like it here, you should move over."

"This is your home, how could I intrude? Plus, I already have somewhere I can stay anyway..." Hye-ri sighed as she held onto Y/N's hand. "My daughter is so capable and she has an adoring husband. Mom has no other wish except to lay eyes on some grandchildren in this lifetime..."

"They will come eventually," Y/N smiled as she replied. "Go have a bath. After you're done, come out and eat; Taehyung cooks really well."

"I never imagined, the almighty CEO of Kim Entertainment - a person that is cold and serious - would actually be so domesticated."

"Behind all that facade, he is but an ordinary man that requires the warmth of home," Y/N giggled. "Stay here tonight. I'll sleep with you."

"What about Taehyung?"

"He can sleep by himself..."

"Why do I feel like my daughter is bullying 'someone'?"

"Since I have 'someone' in this lifetime that I am allowed to bully, I should make good use of the opportunity." After speaking, Y/N pushed her mother into the bathroom, "Mom, no matter what you decide to do, I will support you and stay by your side. But, don't push yourself too hard."

"I know," Hye-ri entered the bathroom and took a deep breath as she cheered for herself.

Regardless of everything else, at least Y/N was once again by her side...

She now had a daughter and a son-in-law...

After her mother entered the bathroom, Y/N headed downstairs. She quietly tiptoed behind Taehyung and wrapped her arms around his waist, "Today sure has been a mess."

"Still upset?" Taehyung asked as he continued to prepare dinner; his movement not restricted by her hug.

"I have the most important people by my side, how could I be upset?" Y/N replied with a raspy voice as a tear rolled out of her eye and seeped into Taehyung's shirt. "But, for some reason, I want to cry. I think it's because you've always stayed by my side and stuck with me through thick and thin, so...I feel touched!"

"I've already gotten used to it..." Taehyung replied.

"Taehyung...hug me for a little longer."

"Come to the front," Taehyung pulled Y/N to the front of his body and hugged her from behind as he rested his head on her shoulder. "Is this better?"

"Much better," Y/N nodded her head as the corners of her lips curved upwards, "I feel nice and warm..."

After freshening up, Hye-ri originally wanted to ask Y/N where the hairdryer was. But, as she stood in the doorway of the kitchen looking at the cute couple, she kept her mouth shut and decided not to disturb them...

How could anyone disturb such a beautiful sight?

Half an hour later, some simple but tasty dishes were placed on the dining table.

Hye-ri looked at the dishes and smiled, "It seems Taehyung has put a lot of effort into learning how to cook for your sake."

"He's always known how to cook..." Y/N pulled her mother over to sit down, but of course, she didn't forget to emphasize her innocence, "His cooking simply improved after we got married. Here mom, try some."

Hye-ri nodded her head. Although she had always thought of Taehyung as a cold and unapproachable person, after seeing the way the couple interacted, she suddenly understood that Taehyung only acted that way in front of other people. In front of family, he was a true man that took good care of Y/N.

"What do you think?"

"It's delicious!" Hye-ri praised. "But, as a wife, you need to take note of Taehyung's difficulties. Look at him. He has to manage a business, he has to manage you and..." she suddenly stopped. Laughing at herself, she continued, "What I'm trying to say is, make sure to be thoughtful towards him."

"She is a good wife."

"Look, he even said it."

Hye-ri was speechless, but it had been decades since she experienced such happiness. Today, she was able to eat dinner with her daughter and son-in-law and she was able to have a casual conversation with loved ones.

Thinking of this, Hye-ri wanted to cry again. But Y/N held onto her hand and said, "Since you've made your decision, don't ever regret it. The road ahead may not be worse than the road behind."

"OK. Hurry and eat, we still have a meeting with the Park Family later tonight."

Needless to say, Hye-ri intended to get a divorce with Park Kyung (for the second time). But of course, this time she was going to leave with some of the Park Family shares...

"Don't worry, I've already booked the meeting place and notified the Park Family."

Hye-ri nodded her head. Taehyung was indeed a capable person who did everything effectively.

"Hurry and eat.."

"After dinner, you don't need to keep me company. Go do what you need to do. I will wander around on my own."

Y/N smiled and did not force her.

Meanwhile, Hye-ri was still in shock. She had originally thought that the almighty CEO of Kim Entertainment would have a house full of servants. But, instead she was treated to a simple homecooked meal.

After dinner, Hye-ri wandered down to the garden for some fresh air while Taehyung returned to the study room to work and Y/N sat on the sofa reading her script.

With her mother around, Y/N's determination to act well in 'WH' increased.

Her mother had sacrificed herself so she could have freedom to be an actress. At the same time, Taehyung also sacrificed a lot for her.

For the sake of the people she loved, she was going to prove herself and become a top actress.

As for Gyeong-ree, she had suffered too much damage today...

She had always thought of herself as high and mighty; so high that no one could reach her. But, it was not until everything happened that she realized she was like mud that got stepped all over!

As Y/N thought of the jewellery box her mother gave her, she guessed that her mother had definitely considered giving up on everything...

It was just like the moment she discovered Kai and Jennie cheating. In the spur of the moment, she had once considered ending her own life. But, she quickly realized that she shouldn't waste her precious life on people that weren't worth it!

That night, she couldn't wait to see the expression on Gyeong-ree's face. But, could Gyeong-ree be so ashamed that she wouldn't even have the courage to show up?

It was a rainy night.

Taehyung organized a luxury car for the mother and daughter to arrive at the hotel.

After shedding herself of the sadness and having Y/N by her side, Hye-ri appeared a lot brighter than before. A person's presence was determined by what lay beneath the surface. For example, a kind-hearted person would appear calm and unaffected, like a Chrysanthemum flower with exceptional elegance.

The mother and daughter had arrived at a 5 star hotel; a place frequented by celebrities. But, they still attracted everyone's attention.

Hye-ri was a woman that was brave enough to expose her husband and protect her daughter, so there was an aura glowing from her body that no one could ignore.

"Mom, why don't you just debut as an actress with me? Look at how many people are looking at you," Y/N couldn't help but laugh.

"Have you forgotten how old I am? How could you joke about that?" Hye-ri couldn't help but smile as she looked around, "Where's Taehyung?"

"He has other things to do deal with first. Your son-in-law won't get lost," Y/N finally had her mother by her side so she was happier than usual, "Don't worry, he will arrive later..."

"Stop making him work so hard. Otherwise, the Kim Family will be heartbroken."

"My heart is already broken," Y/N hooked her arm around her mother's arm and led her to the elevator. Then, with the guidance of the waiter, they headed to the private room they had booked.

"This way please. The other guests have already arrived."

Hye-ri retrieved her smile and looked ahead with a prepared confidence. Seeing this, Y/N's expression also became serious.

A moment later, the door to the room flew open. The first person to appear in sight was Elder Park who was sitting at the head of the table. He simply gripped onto his walking stick and rubbed his hand continuously over the smooth ball head. His expression was powerful but not angry.

Next to him sat Park Kyung, leaning back on his chair in a defeated position with a lifeless gaze. It seemed, he still had not recovered from the events earlier that day.

Meanwhile, Cho-rong and Jimin whispered amongst themselves as Gyeong-ree glared at the mother and daughter without blinking her eyes. Her gaze was cold and sharp like thorns...

Hye-ri sneered and sat down with Y/N as she tried her best not to look at her husband.

"Hye-ri..." Elder Park cried with a deep aged voice; it sounded empty and distant, like it came from the depths of the valley, "...I never imagined that you had to keep such a big secret for so many years. You have suffered."

"Father...I hope you won't blame me for ruining the Park Family's reputation. I gave fair warning, but 'someone' did not control themselves, so I had no choice but to do this. After all, no one likes being forced into a dead end..." Hye-ri replied in a low and firm voice; she knew she had to remain strong to protect Y/N.

Elder Park nodded his head. After remaining silent for a while, he replied, "Since the whole family is present today, let's sit down and discuss things clearly. We should plan out what to do from now on. Hye-ri, you are the victim, let me know what you think and I'll try my best to satisfy you..."

"Grandfather..." Gyeong-ree cried, "Are you just going to trust that woman?"

"Right now the entire world knows that I am your father's legitimate wife. Why can't you accept the truth? Gyeong-ree, I warned you before that I would make you regret."

"Hye-ri, feel free to speak!" Elder Park stopped Gyeong-ree from talking as he waved his hand at Hye-ri.

"I want to get a divorce with Park Kyung. So, I simply want an even split of our assets and I want to take with me the shares I currently hold for Y/N. Our shares combined will be equivalent to father's amount. Apart from this, I want nothing else because I have also done something I should be sorry about; I've made it hard for the other two children to hold their heads high. However, I do want to know how you plan on dealing with Gyeong-ree?" Hye-ri asked in a strict and serious tone.

After hearing the word divorce, Park Kyung finally had a reaction.

He looked at Hye-ri in disbelief; at the wife that was suddenly so strong...

Elder Park listened to Hye-ri's response and lowered his head in careful thought. After quite some time, he finally replied, "Hye-ri, are you still angry? I am happy to transfer shares to you under my name. But, you've already spent half a lifetime with this jerk, are you sure you want to get a divorce?"

Hye-ri felt moved, but still replied firmly, "As long as Gyeong-ree exists in the household, my daughter and I will not stay around."

"I've already dismissed Gyeong-ree from the position of Acting President. From now on, I will no longer let her step foot into the family business. Is that not enough to make you stay?"

"Grandfather..." Gyeong-ree screamed as she jumped up from her seat, "I am your granddaughter, I have the Park Family blood coursing through my veins!"

"You are but a daughter of a mistress," Hye-ri used the same words Gyeong-ree had once said to Y/N. "Your existence is Illegitimate, Gyeong-ree."

"If you put it that way, then Sister Two is also..."

"Cho-rong is different. She is kind, but you are evil! You should really thank your siblings. If not for them, I would have revealed the truth a long time ago and not allowed you to enjoy so many years of glory." Hye-ri smiled, "Both you and I know what happened with Y/N. Luckily, Y/N was fine this time. Otherwise, I would not have let you off so easily."

After saying these words, Hye-ri looked at Elder Park and said with a childish impulse, "Father, if you want me to return home, it's possible. But, if I go in, Gyeong-ree will have to come out. After all her wrongdoings, doesn't she deserve to be punished? Or will you continue to protect her and spoil her until she does something even worse?"

"Previously, the way that Y/N left..."

"...I want Gyeong-ree to leave in the same way..."

"Y/N got to where she is today without support from the Park Family. Since Gyeong-ree thinks she is so great, she should go out into the world and give it a try. Let's see how the Big Miss of the Park Family fares up under the same conditions."

Elder Park once again sat in deep thought. But, because he did not reject the suggestion, Gyeong-ree began to panic.

"Grandfather...you can't possibly be thinking..."

"OK," Elder Park agreed straightforwardly. "Since the incident this time was caused by Gyeong-ree, she will of course need to face the consequences. It's reasonable for her to be kicked out of the household."

"If you make it happen, then I will return. But...Park Kyung and I will solve our own problem, please don't get involved..."

"OK, I won't," Elder Park nodded.

"Grandfather...you can't be so cruel. I'm your granddaughter!" Gyeong-ree knelt in front of Elder Park in a panic, "You can't do this to me."

"Y/N faced the world on her own at 17. I still remember how you were cheering on the day that she left. Now that it's your turn, you finally feel scared?" Elder Park said. "I've been well aware of the filthy things you've done, but I've given you plenty of chances to change. Not only did you not come to self realization, you continued to push your limits."

"Gyeong-ree, you're already 29-years-old, not 19. If you want to be in a position of power, then you need to get out there and test your capabilities."

"The Park Family...has no place for you..."

"You even schemed against your own sister..."

"If one day, I do something you're not pleased with, will you also try to kill me?"

"Go..."

After hearing Elder Park's last word, Gyeong-ree finally stood up, "All of you want me to die, don't you?"

"Your life is your own... If you still plan on threatening me with your life, then go ahead!" Elder Park's voice was cold.

Gyeong-ree looked at the composed Y/N who was sipping her tea and looked at her siblings as she sneered, "Even you guys are on Y/N's side?"

"We simply want a peaceful and harmonious family, not one filled with competition and fighting. Plus, Sister Two and I can clearly see that Sister Three has no interest in the Park Family business, yet you continuously try to provoke her. You even planned out an entire accident to hurt her. Big Sister, you really aren't as great as you think you are..."

"The only talent you dominate in, is the talent of jealousy," Jimin said calmly. "Since you're already married, you should focus on your family. Stop causing trouble and making things difficult for everyone."

"By the way, have you not noticed that Sister Three has been holding back on you all along? She's been able to beat down so many people to get to where she is today in the entertainment industry. Did you think your schemes hold any weight in comparison? She's simply been going easy on you..."

"So, you can think whatever you want, Sister Two and I don't care. Because we think that the current result is best for everyone."

After speaking, Jimin sat back down in his seat. It was obvious to see that he and Cho-rong had long been unhappy with Gyeong-ree.

They always knew deep down, the kind of person Gyeong-ree really was...

So they couldn't be blamed for being cold-hearted. After all, Gyeong-ree only ever cared about gaining benefits for herself.

After hearing Jimin's words, Gyeong-ree nodded her head in sadness. In this moment, the entire family had turned their backs on her; no one wanted to side with her...

So they say, 'an unjust cause finds no support'. The scene playing out before Gyeong-ree's eyes, was the perfect example.

"There's no point discussing this any further. As soon as we get home, pack your belongings and go!" Elder Park said before turning to look at his son.

"On another note, there is still one more person in the family that deserves punishment. I never imagined, my son, who is a lifesaving doctor, would do something so disgusting."

"Father...all these years, I have also been living in torment," Park Kyung said in a dull voice, "I've always felt sorry towards Hye-ri. But...I couldn't gather the courage to step out and admit to what I had done."

"I...I should also leave. I should be kicked out on my own like Gyeong-ree."

"OK!"

"An adulterer deserves this fate," Elder Park exclaimed. "From today onwards, the Park Family no longer has a Gyeong-ree or Park Kyung!"

"I am satisfied with this result."

After speaking, Elder Park stood up. A dazed look appeared on his aged face, "I'm old and was almost blinded by lies... Y/N could you help walk grandfather out?"

Y/N looked at her grandfather and nodded her head. She then stood up from her seat and walked over to Elder Park.

The grandfather and granddaughter headed downstairs together. Much like the scene that had happened not too long ago, it was once again raining and they were once again facing each other inside a car. Elder Park looked at Y/N and asked in a gentle voice, "Grandfather wants to ask you one more time. Don't you want to take over the family business?"

Y/N looked at her grandfather and shook her head, "Grandfather, everyone is born with a purpose and a path they must lead. So, to your offer, I can only say sorry."

"What is there to be sorry about?" Elder Park asked. "From a young age, you already went out into the world and experienced the good and bad side of human nature. Grandfather should have known he couldn't force you into something like this. So, forget it..."

"To be honest grandfather, my mom is a trustworthy helper."

"Little brat! Trying to sway my focus towards your mother?" Elder Park laughed and scolded, but nodded his head, "If one day, both your grandfather and mother can't move anymore, can I hand the Park Family over to you?"

It wasn't for certain how far in the future he was referring to...

Y/N remained silent for a few minutes and couldn't bear to reject him any further. So in the end, she nodded her head, "OK, I'll do it."

"It's set then. Dear child, grandfather owes you too much."

In reality, Y/N knew her grandfather had questioned if her heart had ever given up on the Park Family, but he knew better than that. Plus, as the head of the family, things were too difficult for him to handle on his own.

"Grandfather, all of that is in the past."

"Bring Taehyung home for dinner some day. Only that rascal has the charisma to be your husband. As for whether the entertainment industry is entertaining or not, grandfather has no say in it." After all that happened, he felt his heart had aged too much. What his grandchildren chose to do from now on...

...was their own matter to deal with.

"OK, I'll tell him to bring your favorite tea leaves," Y/N nodded in seriousness.

Finally, Y/N stepped out of the car. And just like the last time, Taehyung appeared by her side holding an umbrella.

"Grandfather praised you..."

Taehyung wrapped his arm around Y/N's shoulder and couldn't help but respond, "In all of Seoul, he won't be able to find another grandson-in-law as great as I."

"President Kim, your skin is getting thick..."

"Let's go, we need to pick up mom."

As they spoke, they turned around to find the Park Family was exiting the hotel at the same time.

Hye-ri and Cho-rong walked out one door, while Gyeong-ree and Park Kyung walked out the other.

"Brother-in-law..." Jimin ran over in a worshipping manner. However, Y/N pushed him aside.

Hye-ri glanced at Gyeong-ree and Park Kyung... They were both in a daze... Amongst the rainy weather, they looked extra vulnerable.

Hye-ri couldn't bear to see her husband in such a pitiful state, so she asked Taehyung for an umbrella and handed it to him, "Take it."

Park Kyung received the umbrella as he looked at her with teary eyes, "Thank you for not giving up on the Park Family. I am sorry for what I've done to you..."

"We're even," Hye-ri replied.

"I will return to your side as a new man..." After speaking, Park Kyung held onto the black umbrella and left. Meanwhile, Gyeong-ree was left glaring angrily at everyone.

"Don't think that just because you kicked me out of the household, I can't do anything... Unless I die, none of you will lead peaceful lives."

"If you want to seek revenge, come for me. This has nothing to do with them!" Hye-ri protected Y/N and the other two siblings. "Gyeong-ree, you should blame yourself for everything that happened. If your heart wasn't so evil, perhaps everything the Park Family owns would have become yours already."

"Shut up...This isn't over! If worst comes to worst, I'll start all over again!" After speaking, Gyeong-ree ran off into the rain and quickly disappeared from sight.

"She's endless," Jimin scoffed. He then turned to Y/N and begged, "Sister Three... Can you ask brother-in-law to sign me up as a singer for Kim Entertainment?"

"Use your own abilities and sign up as a trainee," Y/N replied.

"In that case, how about you get me a job as an extra in your film?"

"So, you don't want to be the Fourth Master of the Park Family, instead you want to go act as a dead body?" Taehyung raised an eyebrow slightly. "If that's your dream, I'm happy to fulfill it."

"Really?"

"If you truly want to be an extra in your sister's film, you will need at least 3 months of training before you can even act as a dead body."

"What's my sister's new film about? Even a dead body needs training?" Jimin questioned.

"It's a disaster film. The type where everyone dies and there is one sole survivor..." Y/N replied, "But, I think you should focus on your postgraduate and stop thinking about entering the entertainment industry."

"You haven't even heard me sing before, how could you turn me away like this?" Jimin refuted, "Sister Three, you were also doubted once, but in the end, didn't you prove yourself? Why can't you give me a chance? I may not be worse than some of the singers already at Kim Entertainment. Even grandfather isn't against it..."

"Jimin, let auntie convince them for you. Go home with Cho-rong first."

Cho-rong couldn't stand Jimin's groveling expression, so she grabbed him by the collar and pulled him to the car.

"Auntie, don't forget to convince them."

"Cho-rong sure is a cold child."

"She's actually cold on the surface, but warm on the inside," Y/N sighed as she hooked her arm onto her mother's, "Come, stay at my place tonight. You promised..."

Hye-ri nodded her head; she didn't have another choice.

Taehyung escorted both his wife and mother-in-law to the car and the family of three quickly returned home.

After arriving home, Y/N went to have a bath while Hye-ri sat in the living room flipping through Y/N's script. Seeing that her daughter put so much effort into writing notes and marking reminders on the script, Hye-ri sighed: she had never thought that her daughter would someday become an actress.

A while later, Y/N stepped into the living room and smiled, "I'm going to pour Taehyung a glass of milk. Wait for me a moment. I'm afraid he might be hungry..."

"Why don't I make you guys supper?"

"No need mom... He's not used to having supper." Y/N quickly rushed off to take care of her husband before returning to Hye-ri's side. "So how do you plan on convincing me to let Jimin into the entertainment industry?"

"Everyone has something they aspire to. Don't you understand Jimin yet? He's stubborn. Even if you don't help him, he will find another way to get into the entertainment industry."

Y/N remained silent for a moment before replying, "But...this industry..."

"Mom understands. Why don't you get him to hide his identity and not use the Park Family name. Let him experience the harshness a little and perhaps he'll come running back home."

Y/N laughed without saying another word. In reality, she knew...once Jimin entered the industry, there was no turning back. But, how was she to explain to Elder Park? And who was left to take over the Park Family business? Even so, Y/N knew her mother's plan was still a good idea. Plus, she could always think of a way later down the track to convince him to return home...

"Fine, I'll go with your idea. But, he won't receive any special treatment. Business is business." Y/N did this because she didn't want Jimin to arrogantly think he had Kim Entertainment or herself backing him up.

"I'm sure he knows this better than you do. This child has a strong sense of pride." After Hye-ri finished speaking, she let Y/N lean on her shoulder and asked, "How long has it been since you last leaned on mom like this?"

"A long time..."

"You can continue looking at your script. Mom will watch television."

Y/N nodded her head. The mother and daughter stayed like this until late into the night. This was something Hye-ri never even dreamed of doing. She never imagined her daughter would forgive her, let alone lean on her like this.

A few hours later, Y/N fell asleep. But, Hye-ri's arm started getting numb and painful.

Just as she was about to wake her daughter up, Taehyung appeared behind them and said gently, "Mom, let me take over. You go to sleep first, the guest room is ready." After speaking, he gently lifted Y/N's head with his hands.

Hye-ri nodded her head and stood up to leave the room. Meanwhile, Taehyung gently rested Y/N's head on the sofa so she could lie horizontally.

"I'll leave you to keep her company then." After speaking, Hye-ri entered the guest room. However, just as she shut the door, she saw Taehyung lean over to carry Y/N in his arms. Her lips subconsciously curved upwards.

"Taehyung..."

"Huh?" Taehyung carried Y/N back to the bedroom and lay her on the bed.

"I want to kiss you," Y/N suddenly opened her eyes, hooked her arms around Taehyung's neck and presented him with a passionate kiss... She then said seductively beside his ear, "I also want you!"

The bodies were inseparable: combining with an unfathomable force and held together by an undying affection. But, even this was not enough to fully demonstrate how deeply they loved each other.

After their moment of pleasure, Taehyung held Y/N in his arms as they calmed down. Although their bodies were covered in sweat, they still hugged each other tightly...

They had already been married for over half a year, but their love for each other had not faded the tiniest bit. In fact, it had grown stronger.

How strong?

Their love was already at the stage where either of them would give up their life for the other without hesitation...

...as long as the other person loved them back...

"I'm about to start filming. Until then, I want to stick by your side every day!"

"OK," Taehyung smiled as he ran his hand gently down Y/N's long hair.

...

Late at night. At the Zhong family home.

Gyeong-ree barely appeared with her husband in front of her in-laws. But, she had nowhere else she could go. The Park Family refused to let her step foot into the family home and had even thrown her belongings out on the street...

"Mom...keep Gyeong-ree company. I still have work to do," Gyeong-ree's husband said as he grabbed his jacket and left.

Gyeong-ree looked at her mother-in-law cautiously; she was, of course, a little nervous...

Mother Zhong glanced at Gyeong-ree and smiled, "No need to be nervous. I've already heard about what happened at the Park Family home..."

"Gyeong-ree, it's not that I want to nag, but, if your stomach acted accordingly and had given you a son or daughter, Elder Park would have gone easy on you for the sake of the little one."

Although she knew that Mother Zhong's words held a deeper meaning, she couldn't deny that it was a good way to solve her problem.

"Mom, don't worry, I will give you a grandchild as soon as possible."

"Good," Mother Zhong patted her on the arm as her expression softened.

If she jumped back into the Park Family battle with a child, she would have an extra chess piece in her hands...

At that time, no one would care whether she was legitimate or not.

Obviously, Mother Zhong had more foresight than Gyeong-ree. As a result, the two women unexpectedly stood in agreement with each other.

In reality, Mother Zhong wasn't completely pleased with Gyeong-ree. But, regardless of whether she was legitimate or not, she still carried the bloodline of the Park Family and was bound to receive some kind of benefit. Since her son had already been married to this woman for so many years, divorce did not guarantee he would find anyone better. So, it was better for her to make adjustments to what they already had...

At present, Gyeong-ree still knew how to make the right decisions.

So, they would have to wait and see if she'd end up putting up a good fight.

Gyeong-ree couldn't beat Hye-ri, but, if a child was added to the mix, she may not necessarily lose...

However, dd they think Y/N was easy to go against?

...

Meanwhile, over at Namjoon's home, Naeun had already been helping him rehearse for a good few days...

As soon as she confirmed that Namjoon would be heading on set in 5 days, Naeun cheered in secret. However, Namjoon somehow found out and decided to confront her. His eyes squinted suspiciously as he looked at her, "I received word that you were happy to find out I'd be heading on set soon."

Naeun cleared her throat awkwardly as she looked at the icy cold man opposite her and smiled, "It's because I don't know anything and felt like I've been causing you trouble."

Namjoon looked away and replied, "I guess you have been quite troubling..."

This was because he constantly had the urge to kiss her...

"Well, once you're on set and filming has commenced, you won't feel troubled by me anymore," Naeun put down the script in her hands hoping to have an early night. She was going to relax and head out for a movie. But...was Namjoon actually going to let her go? "Your arm is pretty much capable of moving again, so, I was hoping to go home early tonight."

"Do you have someone to go home to?"

"No..." Naeun replied. "But, it's been a while since I've had some time to myself. I want to do some shopping and go for a walk."

"I'll come with you," Namjoon suddenly offered.

"Huh?" Naeun was surprised, "You? The national treasure actor? You want to go shopping with me? Let's not. I don't want everyone to be looking at me."

"Don't you like being with me at all?" Namjoon asked as he pointed to himself. "You'd rather spend time with Y/N than to stay here, wouldn't you?"

"Well, that's because I like Y/N..."

"Are you trying to say that you don't like me? Does it feel like torture to spend time with me?"

Naeun was a little dumbfounded. Did she ever say that? Namjoon was almost 33; a few days older than Taehyung. But, why were his thoughts not as mature and sensible as someone of the same age?

"I want to go watch a movie..."

"I'll go with you. Don't worry, after I disguise myself, no one will recognize me." As soon as he finished speaking, Namjoon rushed into his bedroom to put on a disguise. Not long after, a man with a beard appeared in front of Naeun, "Can we go now?"

"If you're not careful, the news headlines tomorrow will be about a messy relationship between a small assistant and a superstar!" Naeun looked at him in fear, still reluctant to go with him.

"Fine, go by yourself then..." Namjoon admitted defeat as he sat down on the sofa. Without hesitation, Naeun hurried out in fright. Was he really that scary?

With a dark expression, Namjoon made a phone call to Taehyung, "Get Y/N on the phone for me..."

Taehyung lifted one eyebrow curiously; had Namjoon swallowed dynamite? However, he still handed the phone to Y/N.

"Your assistant is a little stupid...No, let me rephrase, she's VERY stupid."

Y/N burst out laughing. Judging by Namjoon's tone, Naeun was definitely driving him crazy. He tried his best to pursue her, but Naeun kept running away like she had absolutely no idea.

"When dealing with Naeun, you need to target her compassionate side. In other words, you have to do something to gain her sympathy."

"You keep appearing in front of her like an almighty superstar demanding for her to take care of you. Of course Naeun would brush you off."

"Plus, it's not like she's never seen a handsome face before; the man I have at home is stunning enough. So, you have to let her see your good side and cater to her interests, understand?"

"He's so lazy, as if he would cater to other's interests," Taehyung commented as he sat to one side. "He's the type of person that wants to sleep with someone on the first date and marry them on the second. Slowly pursuing someone? He has no patience for such a tedious process. That's why no woman would ever want to marry him."

Namjoon felt a little hurt by Taehyung's words, so he hung up the phone. Although he didn't admit it, he was indeed the way that Taehyung described - he hated dragging things out. In fact, on a few occassions, he almost grabbed onto Naeun and asked her to be with him. But, he knew Naeun would reject him, so the words never left his mouth.

Y/N suggested he target her compassionate side.

There were plenty of fans that chased after celebrities their entire lives to find they couldn't even get a glimpse. Yet, here she was, spending day in and day out with a national treasure actor. Didn't she ever consider taking advantage of him and admiring his attractiveness?

Namjoon simply couldn't understand.

He was a top actor. Was it too humiliating for him to chase around a small assistant all day long?

...

Preparations for 'W.H.' were nearing completion. During this time, Y/N had disappeared from the limelight to focus on studying her script. But, two days before heading on set, she received news that 'Stupid' had settled on an official release date. This was the first movie she ever participated in, so it meant a lot to her.

"It will be released in June. You are expected to take part in promoting it."

"Of course..." Y/N smiled. "By the way, I heard you actually signed Jimin up to be a trainee for Kim Entertainment?"

"His name is now JM, it's a stage name that he picked for himself. It appears he actually has the intention to separate himself from the Park Family."

"Don't you dare open a backdoor for him!"

"My expectations have always been strict, even with you. So he is no different," Taehyung said as he hugged his wife. "No one can expect immediate success, I'm sure Jimin understands this. But I must say, his voice is very unique."

"Don't worry, I will definitely present you with a satisfactory result for 'W.H.'"

"There are a lot of explosion scenes in the film - be careful," Taehyung reminded. He then added as he kissed her, "Namjoon has taken Naeun, so I doubt you'll be getting her back. As for Rose, her and Chanyeol are currently trying for a baby, so I don't think she can continue running around with you either. So, I will try my best to find you another assistant."

"I just need someone that knows what they're doing," Y/N didn't have high expectations for her assistant.

She didn't need someone with a temper nor someone that talked too much. In fact, if she didn't need to place her energy on the film, she would not need an assistant at all.

"You don't know how badly I want to go with you..."

"With Namjoon and Bam Bam around, you don't need to worry."

Taehyung did not respond. He simply hugged her tighter.

"President Kim, you are becoming more and more childish...I'm only going out to film for a while."

"But, without you by my side, I can't eat and can't sleep...I've already gotten used to having you in my life," Taehyung replied gently. "Hurry home after filming is completed. I'll visit you on set when I have time."

Y/N was helpless around him. "I'll leave my mother and Jimin in your hands then."

"We are husband and wife. I would do it even if you didn't ask me to..."

Meanwhile, fans of Y/N hadn't seen her for a while and were missing her dearly. So, they began leaving messages on Taehyung's social media page.

"President Kim, hand over our Little Miss Y/N, we haven't seen her for a long time!"

"Could they be making babies?"

"What up-and-coming projects will Y/N be involved in, President Kim? We really miss her."

Seeing these messages, Y/N couldn't help but take a photo of herself. She then posted it onto Taehyung's account with the caption, "Little Miss Y/N is right here."

When Naeun saw that Y/N got a new assistant, she was both stunned and broken-hearted.

Her mission to take care of Namjoon was supposed to end once he started filming. So, she originally expected to return to Y/N's side. But, who would have thought, Y/N would end up getting a new assistant.

It was reasonable though. After all, she was meant to be a temporary assistant from the start. So, how could she dream of remaining by Y/N's side.

"What are you daydreaming about?" Namjoon asked as he watched Naeun walk ahead.

"Y/N got a new assistant. So, I think it's time I retreat," Naeun replied as she turned to look at Namjoon. Her expression swept over with disappointment.

"She has an assistant...but, I don't," Namjoon said as he looked down at her, "Don't tell me, following me isn't as good as following her... Look at her new assistant. She isn't as pretty as you and couldn't possibly be smarter than you. Shouldn't you show her what you're capable of and make her regret finding someone new?"

Naeun remained silent...

She was actually quite hurt. After all, Y/N didn't even give her prior warning. It was like she didn't care.

"Forget it. You make it seem like following me is a huge torture. I won't force you..." After speaking, Namjoon pulled his luggage behind him, ready to leave. At this moment, Naeun suddenly reached out her hand and stopped him.

"You're on your own..."

"I've always been on my own. Either you be my assistant, or I continue on my own," Namjoon replied straightforwardly.

Naeun glanced at Y/N and her new assistant and then looked back at Namjoon. Finally, she nodded her head, "Fine then, I'll be your assistant."

"There's no point saying it. I've prepared a contract, let's sign it first..."

Naeun: "..."

At this time, Naeun finally realized Namjoon was a man of action; it was quite frightening how quick he was. Did he perhaps want to sign her a long time ago? Otherwise, why did he already have a contract and why did he carry it around with him?

"At least give me some time to look over it."

"What's there to look at? Your salary will be double, so sign it!" Namjoon directly flipped to the last page of the contract and handed Naeun a pen.

Naeun was quite surprised, but she still ended up signing. Actually, if she had taken the time to note the details of the contract, perhaps...she would not have signed a 30 year contract without knowing.

The impatient Namjoon quickly put away the contract and revealed a rare smile. He then led Naeun over to Y/N.

Without looking suspicious, Y/N acted like nothing happened as she played along with Namjoon's act, "Naeun...because we couldn't confirm when you'd be back, Taehyung got Bae Suzy to be my assistant."

"That...that's OK..."

"She's already signed on with me," Namjoon proclaimed before he dragged Naeun away. As they left, Y/N couldn't help but giggle.

Life was like a movie that depended on acting...

No wonder Namjoon managed to become a national treasure actor.

"Don't you think you were a bit too fierce in front of Y/N? She didn't do anything wrong..."

"She doesn't want you, isn't that wrong?"

"She didn't say that she doesn't want me. In fact, she's already helped me enough in the past. Please don't hold a grudge against her," Naeun said in seriousness.

"If you don't want me to hold a grudge against her...I will need to see how you perform."

Naeun had absolutely no idea she was being tricked. Actually, as a cousin of Taehyung's, Namjoon​ had the same unapproachable aura as him. Of course, Taehyung's methods were hidden in secret whilst Namjoon's was out in the open. This was because he was impatient and lazy...

His thoughts were simple. He simply felt no one was more suited to Naeun than himself.

It didn't take long before 'W.H.' held their launch ceremony in secret. As the producer, Taehyung also attended. In reality, Taehyung had higher hopes for 'W.H.' than for 'Stupid'.

This was because the disaster genre in the domestic market was still lacking. If Kim Entertainment managed to produce a masterpiece, it would be very meaningful for both him and Y/N.

"President Kim, thank you so much," Bam Bam thanked Taehyung wholeheartedly. "It's not that I didn't try to ask other people, but whenever I mentioned money..."

"My judgment has always been right," Taehyung said in confidence.

"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Y/N..."

Bam Bam understood what Taehyung was worried about. After all, the incident that happened with 'Hidden Expert', happened right in front of his eyes. It was something he'd be haunted by for the rest of his life.

"Also, control Namjoon a little. Once his on set, the only person he will listen to is the director."

"Leave it with me."

"When the time is right, I will start promoting the film." Timing was important, especially since someone new would become famous everyday and someone old would be forgotten at the same time.

Bam Bam was never worried about the marketing side of things. As for the way Kim Entertainment operated, they could only exceed his expectations, not disappoint.

"Let's see how Y/N performs. If 'W.H.' gets released during the second half of the year, she can definitely try for the best newcomer award."

In reality, if Kim Entertainment really wanted it, they could simply ask for it. But, over the years, Kim Entertainment never once interfered with the voting process.

"Even though she's my wife, she will need to depend on herself."

After hearing Taehyung's words, Bam Bam did not comment any further. It was clear to see how much faith Taehyung had in Y/N. It also hinted that Y/N was indeed capable.

"The first scene will be a big scene. Do you want to watch it before you leave?"

"No need, I want to leave it as a surprise for later," Taehyung turned around, whispered something in Y/N's ear and left.

As soon as Taehyung left, Y/N immediately began to feel empty inside...

But, it didn't take long before she found a distraction. Just like Bam Bam said, the first scene was indeed big.

The village had just been infected with the virus and everyone was investigating the cause. The husband portrayed by Namjoon would spend all day treating patients at the hospital and then lock himself in the bathroom for 2 hours after returning home every night.

The writer wife portrayed by Y/N started off with nightmares about her body deteriorating away. Then one day, she stepped into the bathroom and was met with a putrid smell as well as her husband's back facing her weirdly.

The couple owned a pet Labrador. But, the Labrador had been chasing the husband around for the past few days, so the wife had no choice but to lock it up in a cage.

"Lately, the village hasn't been very safe. Try your best not to leave the house."

The wife looked at her husband's back suspiciously and slowly approached him. Just as she was about to check what he was doing, he suddenly turned around...

The wife jumped up in fright...

Y/N's first appearance on the screen was a close-up of her frightened face...

The production crew never thought Y/N would be so good at acting scared. Her face was pale like she had actually seen something terrifying...

As for everyone on set, they felt themselves sweating in suspense...

The reason why Y/N played this scene so well was because she had practiced it hundreds of times at home.

Her seriousness striked up the interest of Namjoon!
