The World of Tiny Tan

Chapter 26

Young-Mi's POV:

The matched log almost made my heart bounce in my mouth. I could not believe the thing I just saw. I turned the pages and rechecked the logs twice and over and over again. But the result remained the same.

It took me a while to know that what I saw was the ultimate truth. My brain and my heart were not in sync. My brain said you gotta believe the facts but my heart said it was nearly impossible.

It was my manager Ji-Hoonssi's match.

"Wait! You gotta kidding me! How is this possible. Like no! Nooooo!!!". My thoughts were fighting among themselves.

I rechecked the logs and the more I checked them the more confused and impossible it made me accept deep inside.

I thought I was going crazy. I could not even sit in my seat for a while.

"Wait! If he has done this then there has to be a reason behind all this. He won't be doing such a thing just in the air. He is not that type of person."

"The one who scolds his colleagues just if someone makes even a small mistake in reports so that the company reputation and quality do not deteriorate cannot behind all this crappy bull shit!."

"Yeah! Well, no-no! I cannot ignore the facts that my eyes are witnessing right now." I thought while glancing at the piece of paper holding logs that seemed useless now.

"Ok. So, let's sort out the thoughts first." I decided to rest my ass off for a while and thinking logically about this now.

"If this is true as it is now then I need a plan and a reason to ask Ji-Hoonssi about this. Because this is a serious issue and I can't leave it. This is what my tans want. I would do this."

I aimlessly kept looking at his cabin for no reason and kept rewinding his personality traits which made me in a dilemma as he wasn't a person of that kind.

" I need to first get off work and refreshen up my mind, body, and everything or just roll back to a time like it never happened. Aish! This is so frustrating! " I almost pulled my hair out.

I kept everything inside the desk and locked it up. I was in no mood of cleaning because my mind was messed up what difference would it make to tidy up things outside when a cyclone is inside you whose direction is unknown.

In the flat:

Just took a shower and was rubbing off the water off my hair when I just had a thought.

"What if I just confront this directly to him? Wait! He is your manager and your superior. How can you just ask him like this? And what would you say? Hey, Ji-Hoonssi I wanted to ask how are you involved in this scandal. I got proof of your doing and need to know the reason behind it."

"Oh what the heck. Imagining this gave me thrill down my whole body. He would just push me away out of office for life long. Even though I have proof I cannot just blame it on him. If he turns out to be framed or has some valid reason then what would I do? Moreover, if he is guilty he is not going to give me a reason and sorry right?"

How dumb of me. "If I say so and he refuses and what if it creates chaos and worsens the situation causing harm to tans instead of helping them I would become a stake for them."

"Aish! This is so helpless situation where I want to do something but what that is not clear."

I needed some time to cope up with a witty plan for this. I cannot confront either? Can I let him go? What would be the best possible way for this to be taken I need to think that out.

I was just getting confused lost in the paths that looked like a dead-end to me. And when my phone rang.

It was Ae-Cha. Looks like tans are also on the call. She normally only calls when tans are free because they rarely get time.

"Hey, Ae-Cha. How are you? I just got home."

"Hey, Unnie. I have been doing good and normal. I just got a call from tans and thought of patching you in so that we could have a video call today."

"Well. Yeah, why not please take them in."

In a while, we all were in a concall without videos on. Sharing the screen with them was a dream but instead of giving me a smile on my face gave me frowns. I had no control over my facial expressions.

Even though it was not intended I ended up that way. I know they are more busy and exhausted than me and I should be cheerful and happy for them but instead, my dumb ass is getting dumber.

"Hey! You look pale today. All well?." Joon asked.

I smiled and nodded.

"Aey C'mon. Last time when we saw you. You were so cheerful and happy. You ain't this kind of person." Jin said. He can sense people more easily than others. Maybe because he is more experienced in this matter and has seen more than anyone else.

"See! If you are having a hard time because of us and that issue. Keep it easy. We ain't pressuring you. You can go at your pace. We can wait!." RM said. His words of comfort touched my heart right away.

"Should I tell them? If I do they will be more worried than me. I cannot pile up worries and stress in their lives." I thought to myself.

"Well, the lead I got has to lead me towards the dead end and I am not sure how to tackle it, and it's beyond my belief," I said.

Everyone was looking at me in surprise and worry. I could sense the change of atmosphere suddenly.

"Well! It's completely fine. If you feel like you are at a dead end. Wait and give yourself time. There are things and solutions to each problem. Just we need to think it with our mind at ease and look upon them as a third person." RapMon said.

"If we separate our emotions from any situation it helps us make rational decisions and gives us more strength in persuading it." He said with a smile.

At this moment I knew why Jackson wang told once in an interview that if he has some problems he texts RM and he has the solution to them in a while.

Even he does not know the situation as a whole he says it in such an abstract manner that it all feels sorted.

"Yes. What you are saying has made me more clear now. I can now think it in that way and it may come out with a ray of hope for sure." I smiled and answered.

"Sorry I cannot confirm what I found now but I will soon find out more on it and let you know," I explained myself to them.

"Aey! Chill We all trust you. That's why we came to you for this and not anyone else." J-Hope said with a charming smile.

"It feels good looking at you all in a frame," I said.

"Unnie cheer up. You will soon find something out and we know you will surprise us in a moe unexpected manner. We trust you." Ae-Cha said and everyone nodded.

"Well. I needed permission from you all for a thing." I asked hesitantly.

Everyone seemed to look at each other. "Hmm say," RM said.

" I have a got a friend of mine whom I trust. He has helped me sort out a situation this morning. He also has some connections of him working at your place. It may help us." I said.

"Ok. You can share the details with him. We trust you and if you trust him, we trust him too. Plus you said he knows some of our teammates then it should be fine. We trust our staff as they are with us since our debut days." Joon said and everyone agreed.

He amazes me every time I want to say something and he understands me beforehand giving the reply I expect from him.

"Thanks a lot! I will make sure we all see the end to this together in a happy manner." I said and all smiled.

"Hmm. Please relax and rest well you all. Don't worry about me. I am fine now looking at all your charming smiles." I said.

And we hung up the call with Jimin waving with his cute small hands, Bunny hanging on him a bunny smile, Tae winking, Jin doing his iconic hand kiss bye and RM, Suga, and J-Hope simply smiling.

What would Young-Mi come up with? What are your views on this? Wait for the upcoming chapter.
