Unbreakable love bond

"Godfather, you are wrong. Do you think she would be interested in someone like Nayeon who is arrogant and has an average background? I'm not sure how she managed to get connected to Jaemin, but in the end, she did indeed benefit."

"I don't think a woman like Jaemin could possibly be tied down by a measly model; she is the almighty king of the entertainment industry, she can have whichever woman she wants. So, as you saw...although she helped Nayeon, she refused to reveal their relationship."

"Just wait and see. Jaemin will get married sooner or later and Nayeon will fall from her perch. When that time comes, we will have the chance to go against Nayeon,"Choi reasoned as he watched the backs of the trio disappear into the distance.

"How can you be sure that Nayeon won't be the one that Jaemin marries in the end?"

"Jaemin owns so many resources. If she was to look for a suitable partner, she would definitely pick the daughter of a rich tycoon so it benefits her business. Nayeon is just a toy to play with in bed; not the type to be serious with,"Choi replied.

Father Five gave a "humph" as he crushed the wine glass in his hand, "She even dared to look down on Creative Century, I wonder how ambitious she is."

...

On the way home, the sky started to shower lightly. After checking if Jihyo had been hurt, the atmosphere in the car became silent. Nayeon turned her body to face Jaemin. She realized her eyes were closed and she was currently resting, but Nayeon knew, in reality, she was trying to hide the anger in her eyes.

Nayeon's heart was uneasy as she gently brushed the back of Jaemin's hand; she did not respond.

"Are you upset?" Nayeon asked gently.

"Uh huh," Jaemin couldn't hide her feelings anymore, "You'd rather I send my bodyguards than to ask for my help? Did you think under these circumstances, mere bodyguards would be able to protect you?"

Nayeon was stunned as she tightened her grip on Jaemin's hand, "Sorry, I didn't know it would make you upset."

"But, you need to hear my explanation."

Hearing the word 'explanation', Jaemin finally opened her eyes. Although she was angry, she had never considered leaving Nayeon not doing anything to hurt her.

"It was something that happened quite a few years ago. At that time, I was only 19. I met a French girl who had been working on shows for many years, she didn't care if they were big or small. However, she was only a fit model. Maybe because she was so desperate to be famous, she hooked up with a designer; this designer had a gangster background..."

"He was also a known psycho who would do outrageous things in the public. He trampled all over that girl at various events. In the end, she couldn't take it anymore, so she decided to leave him. But she didn't expect, to save her, her brother ended up...being stabbed to death..."

"As for that girl, she was force-fed drugs by the designer and never woke up..."

"This incident caused a huge outrage in France at the time. That girl had tried to call me for help on the day, but because I was in the middle of a runway show, I..."

"This incident has made me feel guilty for a long time. So, after hearing Jihyo was in trouble, I lost my ability to reason."

"I didn't want you to get involved because I didn't want you to end up like that girl's brother. It's not that I took things lightly, I was just being extremely cautious."

"Jaemin, I was well aware of who I was up against. I've also played out the scene in my head multiple times: if I had picked up the phone that day, would I have had the courage to send myself to possible death."
