Jangha's Game

"Hyung! Wake up. Your phone has been ringing continuously."- Jungkook said in a sleepy tone. I could barely open my eyes. Last night was so long.I managed to grab my phone and picked up the call. Before I could answer, I heard Joon Ki talking in a low tone as If he's hiding- "Hyung, Where are you? Have you checked the link I shared?"
"What link? What is this in the early morning ? " - I rubbed my eyes to wake me up. The wall clock showed 8 am.
"Just check the link I have sent you. Mr.CEO will get in touch with you soon. And Hyung.."- he gave a pause as if he was pondering on something and then continued, "No matter what happens, we are with you. Do not come to your house. All the journalists have been waiting outside. Until Mr.CEO decides what to do ,do not leave the place where you are right now."
Jungkook had already woken up by the time I ended the call.
"What happened babe? What did Joon Ki say?" - he crooned as he wrapped his arm around me.
I clicked on the link Joon Ki had sent to me and I couldn't believe what I saw.
"The Nation's God is Gay" the title said.
The pictures that I was shown at Mrs.Jeon's office, were published into an article. Jungkook's face was also revealed.  A frown  appeared on my face as I was reading the comment section. My SNS were buzzing with comments and tags. I just couldn't take it anymore. I covered my face with my palms. What should I do now? I never wanted the situation to turn out like this! Homosexuality is still no accepted in our country. If things get out of the hands ,I might need to retire from acting. Jungkook might lose his post as the President. Mrs.Jeon !! How could she do it!!
"Shhh! Shh! Don't worry! Everything's going to be fine. Trust me. I promise." - Jungkook hugged me tightly as I broke down in his arms.

"Nana, Is this your doing? Tell me the truth." - Jungkook said trying hard to maintain his cool.
I could only hear Jungkook talking to his grandmother over the phone. But my worry didn't go away. I got a call from Kyung Suk hyung.
"Don't worry. I will handle it. I might need you to come to the company for a bit. I will send Joon Ki. This will die down soon. I will make them take down the article." - he said in his usual comforting tone.
"Hyung, I am sorry! I really am. I should have been more careful. I...I..."- I couldn't finish my words as the feeling of guilt was taking over again.
"What are you sorry for ? For loving another human ? Are you sorry because your lover is a man? Let me tell you something , Taehyung-ah! If someone needs to feel sorry then it is this society that has been talking trash. This society needs to change not you."- Kyung Suk hyung went on talking as I kept listening to him. I never thought he would remain this considerate even in such s situation .
"Thank you Hyung ! Thank you.....I..."- I stuttered as I could feel knots forming in my throat.
"You have earned this country enough revenue.You have brought enough honour for these people.You have made your fans proud.So it's a trial for your fans not for you. And remember one thing, when one door closes, another door opens up. Take rest today. I have asked Joon Ki to clear your schedule." 

I clenched my head as Kyung Suk hyung cut the call. What would be the worst outcome? My head was bursting with thoughts. Jungkook sat beside me as he rubbed my back.
"Hey!" - he crooned.
"What will we do?"- I looked at him helplessly. He wiped away my tears with his thumbs.
"The articles will be taken down within one hour, I promise. But your fans have already started protecting you. They have been commenting on those articles. Your fans hyung..." - he gave it a pause then softly chuckled - "they are really handful like you!"

"Don't bad-mouth about my fans." - I pinched on his elbow as I answered.
"Nana didn't do it hyung! She confirmed with Mr.Park. But Mr.Park couldn't find the envelope where the pictures were kept. There's another envelope of the same colour. But that means someone must have changed it! Then who had..." -A frown gradually appeared on his forehead as he was getting lost in thoughts.
"I will ask them to check the footage." - grabbing his phone he stood up and went outside.
Jimin's message popped up on the screen. As I was replying to him I heard Jungkook yelling outside - "I will give you One hour. Find her."

"It's Cecelia hyung! She changed the envelope. She's not at her home. Mr.Shin found her resignation letter on my table. How dare she..." - Jungkook pinched his forehead as he spoke.

"I think it's Jangha." - I affirmed.
"What? He...How could..." - Jungkook looked at me in a shock.
"I saw those two at your birthday party. They looked really intimate. I saw Jangha slapping her. It's him. It's Jeon Jangha." - I said pacing up and down the hall.

"Then he's dead. He will pay for this I promise you!" - Jungkook spoke while clenching his jaws.

In his eyes I could see anger in a way I had never seen before. He was silent yet I could feel the rage swelling inside him. Never in his life he had done something that would cause that basterd harm. But Jangha just couldn't sit still.
Jungkook suddenly sprang up from his seat and dialled a number on his phone as he said in a commanding voice - "Detective Kugiyama, You may proceed."
