Inside one of the private hospital rooms, Yoona was sitting weakly in bed. Just the thought of being able to humiliate Y/N in a moment made her eyes twinkle.
Never in her wildest dreams had she thought Y/N would be so stupid as to take on all the blame. Not only did she increase Yoona's worth, but she also helped her secure the spokesperson deal with HF.
"Yoona, Y/N is almost here. When she arrives the cameras will turn on and you will be broadcasted live for 3 minutes. In a moment I am going to ask the doctor to come in to change your bandages. At the same time, I'm going to make Y/N wash your feet..."
"The day has finally arrived..." Yoona exclaimed - she had been overshadowed by Y/N for so long. From this point on, she vowed to only keep climbing higher and higher. She was going to step all over her, take Jungkook from her and become the first lady of GC.
"From now on, things will only get better for you. Plus, the Annual Top Ten Model Awards are about to make their selection, I'm sure you will be selected. At that time...you will be one step closer to becoming a top model."
Yoona slowly exposed traces of a smile, this was better than anything she had ever dreamed of. With everything going her way, her arrogance began to grow...
The hospital gave off its usual unpleasant smell. Y/N entered the hospital, escorted by Yoona's assistant, she was all alone without a single assistant of her own to support her.
After finding Yoona's room, Y/N could see Yoona's assistant guarding the door. This was the man that claimed she made all the decisions on her own on the day of the show.
He had thrown all the blame on her.
"You're here," he said as he looked her up and down snobbishly; he was deliberately trying to make things difficult for Y/N, "Just wait here, Yoona is still resting."
Y/N lifted up her handbag with her two hands and looked Yoona's assistant straight in the eyes. With a slow and gentle voice, she asked, "Do you know my surname?"
"Nonsense! Who doesn't know your surname is Lee?"
"Since you know my family name is Lee, then you should be aware of my background. How dare a little assistant like you act arrogantly in front of me."
"I..."
"Is that Y/N? Please come in." Yoona heard her voice outside and felt disappointed at her assistant's stupidity. If he wanted to go against Y/N, this was not the right way. After all, she still had the Lee family behind her (even though they no longer paid as much attention to her as they once did when she was still famous).
Y/N held her head high and walked into the room ignoring the angry assistant. Seeing Yoona sitting on the bed acting pitiful with one injured leg, she smiled, "Yoona, are you ok?"
Y/N knew Yoona had intentionally hurt her own leg in order to prevent Jungkook from getting married - this woman is so ruthless.
"I heard from President Jeon that we are to film a 3-minute live broadcast, is that right? Y/N, we are like sisters, I'm more than willing to help you with this favor so you can redeem yourself in front of the public."
Y/N hesitated for a moment. She couldn't believe how shameless Yoona was - she was almost on the same level as Jungkook. The truth behind the substitution incident was known between the three of them, yet Yoona acted as if nothing had happened.
Y/N looked a little upset as she said in an angry tone, "I only came to visit you..."
"You really don't need to be polite..."
"That's right, we've already prepared a scene for you. In a moment, the doctor will come in to change Yoona's bandages. At that time, in order to highlight your sincerity, we have arranged for you to wash Yoona's feet. That way the public will see how sorry you are."
"That's enough..." Y/N angrily interrupted the two, "Yoona, the substitution incident, both you and I know the truth. Don't you think it's time you should stop?"
"Y/N, what are you talking about? I don't understand..."
"Must you really flip what's right and wrong around?" Y/N's voice held a sense of being wronged, "If it was not for Jungkook, I would not tolerate you so many times. Have I not helped you enough?"
"Y/N, it's enough that you won't apologize, must you also bad-mouth other people? You've already admitted to creating everything for hype." Yoona was a master of acting, she didn't slip on her words and maintained her innocence.
"I definitely won't apologize to you!" Y/N unexpectedly said in a serious tone. At this time, Yoona's assistant recorded her words and immediately posted the video online, with the headline: [Attention seeking Bitch being insincere, secretly declares: 'I definitely won't apologize to you!']
In an instant, a thousand waves were once again stirred up...ready to crash down onto Y/N.
Reporters flocked to the scene, but no one intercepted Y/N, leaving Yoona all alone crying pitifully in front of the camera. "Originally I thought, since we were both models, I wasn't going to pursue this incident, but Y/N has gone too far. Not only did she refuse to apologize, but she also threw words of abuse."
That's how the war between the two began: two models that didn't know how to control themselves in front of the public, put on a tearful drama drawing the attention of passersby to stop and crowd around.
GC quickly responded by releasing a statement, apologizing to the public and stating their intention to seriously deal with Y/N, giving off the idea that they were going to dismiss her.
At the same time, Y/N's: 'I definitely won't apologize to you' became a viral phrase online. Just as everyone was insulting Y/N...a famous online personality released an album of photos. The album was titled: [It's not that Y/N won't apologize, it's that she shouldn't apologize!]
The album was filled with photos of Kim Yoona and Jeon Jungkook embracing each other. In the photos, Yoona and Jungkook were both in the hospital. Jungkook was on top of Yoona while she was still wearing her hospital gown...
All the netizens' eyes lit up in shock as a famous website also responded by demanding in a post: [Reveal the truth behind the Y/N substitution incident.]
The post included all the fine details of the incident, using the fact that Yoona and Jungkook were cheating to set the tone. It provided a clear analysis of how Y/N was forced to compromise, then led to being suppressed and finally pushed into reacting angrily...
For the sake of love, she was forced to take all the blame. At the same time, her fiancee's mistress was making advances and humiliating her.
Like this, the scandal was uncovered. Jungkook and Yoona's intimate photos spread everywhere and the netizens finally discovered, apart from the substitute incident, there wasn't a single piece of bad news about Y/N floating around. Even searching as far back as three years, all they could find were pictures of her modeling on stage - as beautiful as ever.
This woman, who gave up her career for love, never tried to explain herself even once. Even after the recent incident, she immediately stood out and took on full responsibility.
Dear god, everyone has misunderstood Y/N!
Yoona really knows how to act. Who would have thought GC would suppress such a poor woman.
The tables had once again turned...
Countless people online started to feel guilty for having previously judged Y/N, their feelings for her quickly turned from dark to light. While all this was happening, Yoona was in the middle of an interview, "I no longer know how to evaluate her shamelessness..."
The reporter was consumed in the moment when her workmate suddenly pulled out his phone to show her something.
After seeing the photos, the reporter held up the phone and questioned Yoona, "Miss Kim, Are these photos real?"
"What is this?" Yoona's face turned pale.
"These are intimate photos of you and the CEO of Golden Closet, Jeon Jungkook. Do you want me to go into more detail about what you are doing in the photos exactly?"
Yoona froze...just a moment ago she was still crying in front of the camera acting all pitiful. Now, she had suddenly turned into a mistress that had seduced someone else's boyfriend. In their eyes, she was no different from the new models that were selling themselves to move up in the industry.
Most importantly, she couldn't find any words to stick up for herself.
The reporters felt embarrassed for her.
"So, these photos are real, I suppose. On one side you were crying, while on the other, you were stealing someone else's boyfriend," the female reporter's questions suddenly got tougher.
"N...No..."
"The photos are obvious, don't tell me you still want to deny it."
"No, it's all fake...this is all part of Y/N's plans." Yoona suddenly became helpless in front of the camera, "Don't film anymore, get out, I don't want to be interviewed anymore, go!"
The female reporter let out a cold "hmph", she despised Yoona. "Miss Kim, even though we are all used to being in the entertainment industry, I still have to tell you this: God will punish those that have bad intentions - there is justice in this word. Just by Y/N's actions of stepping out and putting all the blame on herself, from now on, I will no longer write anything bad about her."
Yoona was trembling in fear. As soon as the reporters left, she made a phone call to Jungkook.
"Jungkook, have you seen the photos? What should we do?"
"It's just photos, what are you panicking about? The company is currently working on a solution..." Jungkook responded calmly. However...inside, he wasn't as calm as he appeared. By exposing everything, not only would it affect Yoona's future as well as GC's, but it could also cause him to lose Y/N forever.
After all, he had suppressed her and cheated on her.
"Y/N must be behind all this"
"If you didn't pick on her, do you think all this would happen?" After he spoke, Jungkook hung up the phone angrily. Then, after finding Y/N's phone number, he gave her a call. "It's obviously ringing, Y/N pick up the phone."
In reality, Y/N was holding her phone in her hand. She was imagining how anxious Jungkook must be feeling right now, so she decided not to pick up.
After running out of Yoona's room, she found a place to hide quietly, while she waited for Jimin to send someone to pick her up. To her surprise, Jimin had decided to come in person.
"Y/N, get in."
After hearing his deep voice, all the uneasiness in her heart cleared. The phone continued to ring, but she threw it into the back seat of Jimin's car.
"You're not picking up?" Jimin asked revealing one side of his handsome face.
"You already know the answer" Y/N smirked. Her aim was to make Jungkook look for her all night and experience how it felt to suffer.
Jimin stopped talking and focused his gaze in front of him. Meanwhile, Y/N's gaze was focused on the black mole on Jimin's neck. It was like he was born with an earring, giving him a slightly evil and dangerous aura.
"The way you're looking at me...are you inviting me to kiss you? hug you? or..."
Y/N held in her nervousness. She reached out her hand and grabbed onto Jimin's arm trying to avoid his passionate gaze. "Before we go to our new home, could you accompany me somewhere first?"
"After we go, can we finish off what we didn't finish last night? huh?"
Jimin was questioning her casually, but Y/N couldn't hide her nervousness because deep down she knew she may not be able to gather the same amount of courage she had the previous night. Jimin did not pressure her, nor did he continue to speak. He just allowed her to continue holding onto his arm as he let out a sneaky smile.
The two of them didn't end up heading straight home as per Y/N's request. Instead, they ended up in a famous cherry blossom forest. This was a place Y/N had frequently met Jungkook, for their dates. However, today, she was going to remove him completely from her heart. So, in the end, she finally picked up her phone, "I am at the cherry blossom forest, where we always met on our dates. If you still want to see me, then meet me there...see you there."
"OK, I will come right away." Jungkook agreed immediately. Even though he was having an affair with Yoona, he never intended on giving up on Y/N. Where was he going to find another woman that was so easy to trick? Plus, all along she had been loyal to him, she had a good family background and she had a good temper.
Y/N hung up and looked over at Jimin who was sitting opposite her. With an honest but choked up voice, she promised, "This is the last time I will speak to him on the phone regarding our personal feelings. From now on....never again."
Jimin lifted his eyebrows. Without a word, he patted the seat beside him, gesturing for Y/N to sit beside him; giving off a sense of possession.
She obediently sat beside him. The two of them looked out the window of the restaurant at the scene below. Not long after, an anxious figure appeared beneath the cherry blossom tree.
Jungkook had arrived!
So many times in the past had she stood in the same spot Jungkook was currently standing in, naively waiting all day. 5 out of 10 times she would be stood up. Thinking about it now, the sincerity she had shown was so easily stepped all over, so...
...being stood up, being played around with, being betrayed...she wanted Jungkook to experience it all.
"Will this really relieve your hatred?" Jimin asked with one arm over her shoulder as he looked at the figure below them.
Of course not, but I want him to experience everything I went through, no matter big or small!"
Jimin reached out his long fingers and grabbed hold of Y/N's chin. Looking into her eyes, he saw a delicate woman, yet, when she was faced with emotional pain, she could deal with things so cleanly; she ended things quickly like she said she would without an ounce of pretense.
"When ordering, I ordered some foie gras. The waiter said it had come directly from France, I thought it would be quite good."
Jimin released her from his grasp and let out a surprised smile, "How did you know I like it?"
"It's not hard to find out my husband's preferences." Y/N gestured for the waiter to start serving their dishes, "Let's eat while we chat."
Jimin looked at her pink and soft, rose-like thin lips. His gaze revealed a trace of danger, "But...I don't want to chat, I just want to...kiss you!"
Who said he was the entertainment industry's poison? Obviously...the woman in front of him also carried traces of poison, which was unknowingly addictive.
I am at your home, I can't find you, my stomach is in pain...Jungkook, why haven't the photos been removed yet? I'm afraid I will be destroyed like this."
Jungkook woke up in an instant and quickly rushed home. Seeing Yoona standing pitifully on one foot outside his door, he couldn't help but run up to her. "I won't let you be destroyed and I won't let GC be destroyed."
"Jungkook, I only have you. Don't leave me and the baby."
He comforted Yoona, patting her gently on her back. That night he forced his staff to release a statement that there were others there at the time. The truth was that Yoona lost her footing because of her injured right leg and accidentally fell into the arms of Jungkook with both of them landing on the bed.
It's not like how it appeared in the photos, they weren't kissing on the bed.
Most importantly, at a time like this, Jungkook still wanted to sacrifice Y/N by hinting someone was behind all of this and telling the public not to be fooled.
