"Yes! he was clearly dating my cousin but still he hug you at the press conference, if it was in private it would be fine but it's publicly and they might exposed you then your reputation.."
You finally understood what she meant, you didn't expect this girl to think about you, you nodded and smiled "I know, thank you for your concern."
"Just like that.?" she looked at you blankly as if she couldn't believe that your emotions could be so calm "Huh?"
"I mean, aren't you sad? because Jeon Jungkook hugged you so you couldn't sleep well, you have dark circles under your eyes, isn't it because of excitement?"
You raised your brow "Who told you that I was excited because he hugged me.?"
That man had hugged you many times in the past, furthermore both of you had even done something so intimate between, how could you be so excited about his hug that you couldn't sleep? you're restless because your marriage with him was still there, you couldn't accept this.
"Alright, it seems like I'm a little meddlesome but you have to careful about things, I'm leaving my manager is waiting for me downstairs."
you nodded at her and bid bye thinking seriously.
At afternoon you used public relations to delete your all marketing information on internet and clean the page, although there's trouble between you and Jungkook, you still needed to be look forward you can't stay depressed because of the divorce and contact the landlord to see apartment, you wanted to buy the apartment nearby before, because of the termination of contract with Jungkook you had put this matter aside but now he didn't accept to break the contract so you could use this money for yourself.
Since there's no work recently and you have others designer to look after, you and Jennie went to school and pick up Rowoon then went to see apartment, since landlord was in hurry to sell apartment urgently they lower their price, the house was near Rowoon's school, on the 15th floor, it have 3 bedroom, kitchen and living room, around the building there's supermarket and the library on the side, also cinema and not far away large entertainment area and you can have delicious street food near, in short this kind of road was very convenient, this mean it's very expensive area, this house was a replica and the style of the renovation was very close to what you had imagined, if the price was suitable it would be a good thing to get it, and landlord took initiative to lower price because they're hurry to sell it, so it might be fraud.
There's agent hired by apartments owner, they explained that they're sort of money and they bough villa, as they moved and this apartment was left empty but they have asked someone to clean it daily and recently owner's husband's business failed and there's no fund at company to pay so they needed to sell this apartment, you felt it's reasonable and talk about a little, a woman was nervous that you suspect something.
The woman give 10% discount, it mean she can not have any benefit from this apartment after selling and agent also give her words that you couldn't argue with businessmen and consider time but young woman's expression became somewhat ugly, she was urgently in need of money.
You also saw her anxious and thought she might really need money but you're not holy mother, it was impossible to buy house in hurry for the other party, you ask for few days to think about it, although other party was unwilling they could do nothing and you guys left from there.
"Mommy aren't we buying it.?" Rowoon also like this surroundings, you looked at him "Do you like it so much?" he nodded, Jennie snorted "You can't buy it immediately, what if other party is not honest, Rowoonie let me teach you one thing today, although there are some people who don't have intention to harm but you don't know how to guard against others, you can't urge mommy to buy it all of a sudden without thinking, or did you see how pretty she's.?"
"Ayy, don't started."
"hehe, let me tease him." Jennie poked his head, Rowoon hug your hand "I love my mommy, I don't want you guys to get tired, this is nearby school I can walk by myself too."
"No." you deny "you're too young, you can't walk by yourself now." Jennie also agree "But mommy.."
"Alright, if Rowoonie like it then we'll ask your uncle when we get back, if it's appropriate, well buy it." they nodded obediently, you guys eat snacks on the street and went back to home, you told your brother about it and he said he'll check it first, you was afraid that he would pay for you so you asked him not to pay as you have prepared money and you want to rely on yourself, Seokjin was stunned that you want to move out after living here for only month, you reason him that it's really tiring to go back and forth.
Seokjin bring Rowoon with him and ask someone to check about house, there's no problem as long as paper's are original, you can buy it, because he was worried that you would be cheated, so he hired lawyer to help you.
next day, you signed the paper and bought a apartment, you felt warm seeing the documents, you also have your own property in this city that belongs to your own hard work, owner handed you a key, but for safety's sake you decide to change the lock and search for password lock, Jennie volunteer and you give her day off at work, because Jungkook's list was not completed yet and you don't want to continue but if this happen then you have to spend more time to do his order.
So you decided to finish his order soon and get on work, since Jennie will look after apartment what they needed, you stayed in the office and started to design, later on Jennie called telling that your identity has been exposed on weibo, your heart tightened, someone dig out the pictures, you already cleared your page but still internet went viral about the mysterious woman with Director Jeon.
You asked her to check what's going on and you open your phone to take a look, you saw the picture of that day sitting together with Jungkook watching the performance on the stage and Jungkook looking at you, at that time picture was taken, you're a designer and your british name was also exposed and your real identity being a daughter of Kim family.
Your outstanding background was exposed like that and put on highlights with Jungkook as everyone was wondering who the mysterious woman was and how the heck information get deleted but didn't expected that the background of mysterious woman is actually powerful.
Comments are blowing, some are bless and some are envious, they're literally having wholesome conversation on comments talking about matters even though he's not celebrity, this man have many affect in this country, your identity was really dig out like that even your company, you're afraid that Rowoon will be found too, your face pale looking at news, you didn't care about others things but if Rowoon pulled out then you have no choice to consider anything.
You're looking but suddenly weibo interface collapsed, you blinked and check browser, what was going on? you looked around and went outside to asked Jeongyeon to lend her phone and check, staff are all scrolling through weibo, they were all surprised too, when they saw you they turned off the web page immediately.
someone inform that if you're checking weibo then the system has collapsed "How long it will get to repair it?"
"This will depend on the skills of their internal staff." it seems like they know about it, so you didn't hide and asked for help, Kim Sunwoo was computer master and you're export too but he can handle software, so he came forward and said that he'll hack the system to take a look, he sat Infront of computer as all staff and you surrounded him, you pursed your lips, this is illegal, it's cyber crime if anyone find out then it'll be very troublesome.
"It's not that hard but no one is allow to tell anyone about it, okay I'm working." Sunwoo said and you felt that it's against the law for a system to be invaded just like that but you have no choice, Sunwoo accelerated his speed making everyone shock, system was hacked by someone and Sunwoo have no option so he reckon his skills and set problematic for other party.
Because opponent is an expert on it already, Sunwoo couldn't handle weibo software, other party had excess quickly that no matter how much Sunwoo try he couldn't make it, you leave that behind and returned to the office, this incident was caused by Jungkook, you're angry at him and decided to call him to scold him and opened the WeChat surface, it was nothing more than to accuse him for his evil deeds, if he didn't cling on you then it would never happened, you sent message instead of calling.
[ Are you happy now making me lose my reputation Infront of many people! why are you so troublesome, if you didn't do as you pleased than now I would never face problem, looking at people's gossiping about me! now you feel happy, right! ] sent.
It was work time and you didn't expect to get reply from him but not long after he actually respond you, you're completely dumpfounded as you watch him abandoning you, you stared at his reply.
[ Leave it to me. ] received.
Did that mean, he will solve the problems? how could he take care of it.? you're thinking still and didn't reply instead leave it as seen, you have very complicated emotions, your phone vibrant, you got another text from him.
[ Don't try to mess with me, you are not allowed to drag me down. ] received.
Huh! so childish, he had said this several times, the anger that had subsided quite a bit, this man is really different from before, in the past he never text you or barely called you, you would never have thought that he was the one who sent this messages, if he had not said it in front of you.
Naturally, you didn't reply and put phone aside, he told you to let him handle it then you would just quietly wait and see how he solved it, you didn't want to take any risk.
When he saw that there's no reply from you, he called... you take time to pick up the incoming call.
OTP :
You : What is it.?
Him : You blacklisted me?
You : I blacklisted you and you can still send a message?
Him : Then why didn't you reply? ( he sounded like he was complaining.)
You : I saw the message, it's normal not to reply.
Him : It's normal? then if I see it and don't reply to you, won't you be anxious?
You : What does this have to do with me.?
He smiled softly, his voice sounded deep and intoxicating.
Him : Of course it has to do with you because I really care if you reply or not.
For some reason you felt your face heat up but you're also angry.
You : I'm busy, I don't have time to waste on you.
you cut the call, it took few seconds to react that the woman was really irritated by him, he actually could feel your flustered and exasperated appearance, his lips curled up, in any case other than him, you have no other men by your side.
Ah, jungkook let's get back to work, you have to take care of it.

Next day :
Netizens was asking about you but there's no actually response and the number of sales about the news got lowered but it's hard to disappear anyway, public had already seen it but since there's no such a prove and they didn't know where to find you, trouble had solve on the internet.
You came to work and hear that Kim Dahyun was waiting for you in the office, you couldn't help but scoffed, you walked but suddenly Jennie pulled you aside "Y/n... Sarang, why I feel like Miss Kim look offended today!"
she didn't know that Dahyun and Jungkook were dating, so it was normal for her to be curious, Jeongyeon crossed her hands, you left them behind and get in reminding them to take an ease.
After entering you saw Dahyun sitting on the sofa, you walk to her, atmosphere didn't felt good to you but the other party was your customer, you force a smile "Miss Kim, why are you here early! you should inform me not to wait here for too long."
She looked at you sharply, she threw the paper towards you "Is this the good thing you sent me? this can also be called a design work?" although she smashed the paper fiercely, it didn't hit you cause it's light so it landed on your feet.
You lowered your head to see piece of paper that was thrown onto the ground, that was the design you asked Jennie to sent over, you had spent a long time without eating, drinking and resting to draw.
You bent silently and pick up "Where is Miss Kim dissatisfied with? can you bring it up, I will change it for you.!" she sneered "You have the nerve to use such a design to fool me, what can you modify it into?"
"Miss Kim can modify it to what she wants.!" compared to her, you're calm and softly asked her about where she feel that this design wasn't good to her, it's the exactly how she asked you to do, she walked Infront of you disdainfully "People like you care about other people's things, maybe the work you designed is plagiarism? I wouldn't dare to wear them such a cheapest rate."
Your expression instantly turned cold and looked at her sharply, the gaze make her feel fear but she's really anger by death about news "Miss Kim, do you know that those words you just said can be used as slander against you?"
She raised brow "Slander? you use this design, can't I complain it to you! you're stealing someone else's things."
you're sure that she came for Jungkook, you're very unhappy, you put away the design and smile at her "Then Miss Kim tell me, what did I steal from whom?"
she was lost in words "You said that I stole others things! I can't remember it, perhaps I need miss Kim to help me dispel my doubts." there's silence before she angrily shouted "Kim Sarang, stop putting on an act, do you dare to say that you didn't steal my things?"
The more furious she was, the more relaxed you became, you mockingly smile as if you didn't take what she said to heart and didn't admit this matter making her even angrier.
"I have already said it, Miss Kim feels that I have robbed someone else's things then you can say it loud, we're talking about work here, if you're not satisfied you can come and let me know but you're yelling without any reason, this kind of scolding will not accept, previously you praise for this design work but now you're venting anger on me, you're a customer to me and of course I will treat you well but respect is mutual, if miss Kim has any questions about my work then asked me, but throwing it to the ground is very unethical behaviour, you said I stole someone else's things then directly tell me what I did stole, don't make fuss without any reason."
you spoke neither quickly nor slowly, you're neither servile nor overbearing, you looked especially cultured, Dahyun was daughter of rich family and she was well mannered but this time she's really angry that she lost her composure, she knew it's not good to talk like that but when she saw you with Jungkook, she was burn to the ashes.
You're beautiful woman with cold eyes and the kind of charm, how can someone resist!
"Alright, since you're so shameless and unwilling to admit your ugly things, then I have nothing to say it, I knew before that you deliberately showed up during the blind date that day, do you know that I am going on a date with Jeon Jungkook.?"
you frowned "If I knew that you were in the blind date that day, I wouldn't have gone there, we had an appointment that day and you didn't tell about it, do you think I have ability to predict what you and he were doing?"
her expression changed, of course she didn't say so and she did indeed make appointment to look for design but suddenly went for blind date, she was excited that she forgot about this matter, she pursed her lips but defended herself "So what.? you could guess that why man and woman meeting frequently but you actually showed up after that day, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, I'm clearly your client but you actually snatched a client's boyfriend."
"A boyfriend.?" you looked at her with unknowing gaze that she felt uncomfortable, that man was her blind date and she took a fancy on him, his everything makes her go crazy, just a one gaze that made her feels butterfly, many woman want to beside him and she's also included but he hugged you at that night and the expression on his face seemed to tell everyone that the woman was his, no one was allowed to touch.
She wanted to be that woman but the woman Infront seized that opportunity "Miss Kim, you're adult, do I need to teach you! If it's yours then no one can take it away, you said that I took him away, did I take the initiative to talk to him or did I seduce him? I remember correctly when we meet again later Miss Kim invited me over."
You revealed a hint of ridicule "Miss Kim probably thought he was interested in my designing so you pulled me over unfortunately you misunderstood his meaning."
The thoughts in her heart were striped just like that, she didn't expect that you would say what she was thinking so quickly and accurately, her mood was so off, she had tell about your work being trashy and asked you to redraw it again, you assured her to come tomorrow as she wanted to look for your performance and left there after threatening you.
You stood there in a daze, Jennie and Jeongyeon come in, they were eavesdropping, Jennie crossed her arms and couldn't believe what she heard, they couldn't help but ridicule, you had swallow your anger in front of her, it didn't mean that you will fulfill her unnecessary request.
If she was angry with matters then she should have gone to find Jungkook instead of you, since she's your client you suppressed not to argue, you won't be drawing any design for her anymore, no matter what kind of work you draw she'll throw her tantrum on it, even you took your award and put Infront of her, she won't hesitate to throw it on the floor, your emotions was already different.
Jeon Jungkook, This bastard!
Your eyes gradually darkened.
How you got in this trouble! you felt headache, how could you get rid of this man who was like a dog skin plaster? why did he change so much during these years? you hoped that he would be like before, arrogant and dignified, not putting you in his eyes but now...
That man was so shameless that be threatened you not to delete his WeChat, headache, headache!
______
The lock had been changed but you still needed to clean up and move things, the day after tomorrow was weekend and you planned to move over, Rowoon is already excited but little upset cause his uncle will left alone at mansion, he was reading comic book, you asked him to sleep separately as he's already 5 years old and he have to get used to sleeping alone but he pout and don't want to leave you alone.
As mother and son having good conversation at night, the phone vibrant signaling that you got text, Rowoon reminded you, it was Jungkook, your expression changed, you quickly grabbed his arm "it's getting late, baby sleep first."
he nodded and closed his eyes trying to sleep, after a while his breathing gradually became even, you relaxed and took your phone making sure that you didn't disturb Rowoon and check message.
[ The matter has been settled, how will you thank! ] seen.
you're looking for few seconds, was there a problem with this person? he still have the nerve to ask you to thank him? if it wasn't him then things wouldn't happen, you couldn't help but rolled your eyes and poked your keyboard.
[ Young master Jeon, if it wasn't for your astonishing actions, I wouldn't have been skinned at all and wouldn't even exposed my company, I was in the danger because of you. ] sent.
There's was silence as you wait for his reply.
[ My woman, who dares to move? ] received.
Your heart skipped a beat but something felt again, why You're talking with him? you put phone aside and went to washroom to brush your teeth and face wash before sleeping, when you come back there's another text.
[ I will protect you, I won't let you get hurt. ]
He wasn't heartless as you thought but you didn't want to bother with him and went to bed.
______
Next morning :
You went company and prepared how to deal with Dahyun but she didn't even came whole morning when you wait, she was so arrogant yesterday, you sent text to Jisoo about the matter, she responds immediately telling that her cousin is insensitive person to the things she likes, she don't like to be share, like who will like.? so becarefull around her, she was probably busy and didn't came to make trouble for you.
You spent day with peace and went home without worry, soon weekend arrived and you move to the apartment, you got 4 to 5 people to clean and paint home, they're maids from Kim mansion and uncle Han also joined, they work hard that exhausted whole day, empty house became lively, your brother order furniture and did some wall decoration, Rowoon also joined to clean up.
There's laughing and talking sound full echoes in the apartment, after finish everything your brother order food for everyone and eat together then you provide them to sleep room, worker was hesitating that they're ditty after working but you didn't mind and let them rest.
Your brother being thoughtful give servants and uncle Han 3 days off making them joyful but they didn't show Infront and treat them to dinner, they're so grateful and they get payment too.
You're smiling at your brother as he did what you told him, he tapped your head, you're really a soft hearted person, you took a bath and prepare to sleep.
You were really tired and fall asleep immediately, early morning your phone vibrant disturbing you, you are very tired so you pick up without looking caller ID.
"Hello.?"
when he heard your sleepy voice he couldn't help but frowned, what was going on with this woman? sleeping till late morning!
"Did you commit a crime last night?" a cold, deep and magnetic voice sounded in your ear, you're little confused and opened your one eyes to check if you heard wrongly, why he called you!
"What business do you have.?" you closed your eyes, you have no intention to wake up today any time soon "Serve me 24 hours a day, I want to see the designs today."
"Sorry, I don't include the weekend."
he narrowed his eyes "When we signed the contract, we didn't say that the weekend didn't include it, did you change it at the last minute?" you nodded "yes."
you knew this man was just want to stick to you like glue as both of you are not divorced yet, suddenly you didn't want him to treat as a customer, anyway he was so shameless and would not be angry, so your attitude towards him was bad as much as could be, you don't care if he will be angry and break the contract, it would be best for you.
You will treat him as whatever, if he didn't mind then you don't mind too "This is what I added at the last minute, do you have any objections?"
he stayed silent for a while, he never thought that you would suddenly changes your tactics, you're really not afraid of him anymore, you spoke without care like you didn't put him in your eyes at all, his lips curled up "My wife gives orders, how would I dare to have any objections?"
your brows frowned and throw phone aside, it landed on blanket on the corner of bed, because the room was too quiet he probably heard the phone hitting somewhere, he laughed.
You heard his magnetic laughter and cursed underneath.
This bastard.
You gritted your teeth and pick up phone "Jeon Jungkook, you better be normal, we will get a divorce sooner, take back that address."
