He's My Juliet (Golden Child Jibeom X Reader) [COMPLETED]

Ch. 7: Grieving

Third POV

"Choi Minkyung, CEO of SilverLining Fabrics now passed away. Daughter set to take her place."

"Choi Minkyung's daughter is now going to be revealed to the public soon after the CEO's death."

"SilverLining's new CEO reported to be Choi Minkyung's daughter."

All those headlines decorated almost every online news forum. It was hardnot to notice. Eventually, almost everyone saw it. Even Jibeom who didn't know of your loss because you hadn't told him yet. The moment he knew, he rushed over to the SilverLining company building to look for you. It was the only place he knew he could find you because, turns out, he didn't really know where you live.

As Jibeom enters your company building, however, he suddenly realizes how he didn't really think things through when the employees in the reception room turn to him with shocked looks on their faces. Nevertheless, he still asks. "Uh... May I know where Y/N is?"

The employees' shocked looks suddenly turn into suspicious and accusing glares as they look at him. "Why would we tell you where she is?" a nearby employee asks him. Of course, almost everyone in the room is aware he's the heir to the company's rival.

Jibeom turns to the employee that had spoken to him. "Look, I don't mean her any harm. Just please tell me where she is so I can help her."

"And why would you be helping her? I don't see any positive association you might have with Miss Y/N," the employee tells him, still glaring at him suspiciously as she folds her arms while looking at him.

"Please, just tell me where she is," Jibeom basically starts begging, and the employee looks at him with wide eyes, sjrprised as to why he's so insistent. "I need to know where she is. Please."

The employee's glare softens and her arms start to loosen as she looks at the young man infront of her.

Suddenly, an employee runs into the room, looking frantic. Before anyone could even notice his franticness, he shouts out something that would eventually help Jibeom find the one he's been looking for. "Miss Y/N's being mobbed at XX Street near her home!"

Jibeom's eyes widen as he turns to that employee, then he turns around again and runs out the door, aiming to get to where Y/N is before something even worse happens to her.

Meanwhile, after he had gone, all other employees turn to the one that had shouted out the news and given out their new CEO's location. Their glares are diverted to that employee who shrinks before awkwardly walking away.

Your POV

"Miss, are you really the one and only daughter of Choi Minkyung and heir to SilverLining?"

"You're identity has been hidden for a long time. Did you plan this all along?"

"Miss Y/N, will you really be taking over SilverLining after your mother's death?"

"How does it feel to finally be exposed to the public?"

"Will you be continuing SilverLining's competition with Heaven's Cloth?"

I place my arms over my ears and head as I try to ignore the reporters surrounding me. Along with them are people who have always been curious about my appearance and who I may be. They're suffocating me, and I don't even know if they know it. "Please... please, leave me alone," I silently beg them, but I doubt they can hear it because of how noisy they all are.

Another reporter holds a mic infront of me,  doing it so suddenly that it almost hit my head. "Miss Y/N, are you planning to beat Heaven's Cloth soon?"
