Beauty and the Beast (Book 2)

CHAPTER 19

JENNIE POV

"Video about me?" I asked, helping her in a flat voice. I tried not to make my voice vibrate. She let out a sigh of relief that she didn't have to make excuses.

"I wanted you to know before, Jen. I don't know the exact content of the video. But I know it's not something good for you. Lisa didn't say anything about the contents. He only confirmed my thoughts that the contents weren't anything good. Therefore, since Lisa knew about the existence of the video, he tried to get rid of it. He had asked the 3 best guys from Kim Tech to hijack Jaejoong's cellphone and all his social media a month before the video was shot until the piracy was done. Because after the hijacking, we made sure that Jaejoong would not be able to send or receive any more videos. Lisa wanted to make sure there weren't any duplicates of the video and, of course, make sure it didn't spread. I think it was a call from our guy who sent the report. If I'm not mistaken, Lisa gave them less than 24 hours to do all of that. Oh, and don't worry, he already asked them not to check the tracked videos and strictly forbade them to watch them. So now he is checking himself to make sure there is no video from all the videos that were sent and received on his cellphone, email, and all of Jaejoong's social media. Trust Lisa, Jennie. He will do his best," she said. I just stared at her, digesting the explanation.

"He values ​​your privacy and really loves you and will do everything for you. I know this even though he doesn't say it. We know that. Lisa didn't need to tell us that he loves you because we can see it clearly, even from high school, he liked you. You are different from us because even though he also really loves us, but I never saw him like yesterday. Not even when Jisung death. I know he was also very sad when he died, but with you, it's different. You have heard how he tried hard to return to Korea when his memory returned. Yeah, but because he was stupid, he acted recklessly which makes troubles for himself." Jisoo said while rolling her eyes but smiled as she looked back at me.

"What's wrong with him yesterday?" I asked because it bothered me.

"Um..." Jisoo doubted if she could say it. But then she said, "He cried hard yesterday. I've only ever seen him cry when Jisung died. But this time, he cried his heart out without a single cover, without a hitch to show his feelings. I can feel his sad heart. Those who was hurt because he felt like a failure. He feels guilty that all this happened to you, Jennie. But most importantly, his heart hurts because you were hurt. He could not see the people he loved being hurt. That was why after I saw his state yesterday, I'm more and more convinced that you are different. You are special to him," she said, squeezing my hand. Rosie had been staring at us for some time, and she nodded in agreement with what Jisoo said.

I guess my thoughts on how fragile he was last night were just because it was the first time I saw him cry. But with the people closest to him, who have known him since childhood, said these words really pierced my heart. I remembered how he cried and held it back last night.

LISA POV

Last night, after Jennie fell asleep, I read Jaejoong's laptop HDD that I broke. And luckily, the HDD wasn't broken. So I can access the video to see the details of its size and format so I can immediately check the videos from this report especially, those that are suspicious, which have the same size or close, and same format. Only then did I check out another video. Of course, I will go through everything thoroughly because I don't want anything to be missed.
