SeoYun turned around and slapped Jimin's arm. "Jimin don't just stand there, comfort her! You know what kind of woman Seulgi is. She made a mistake, but you should forgive her. You've been together for so long already, how could you misunderstand her like this? If you send her away she will be alone, do you really have the heart to let her live like that?"

Jimin scoffed, "We haven't been together for a while already, and I'm doing this for everyone.The flights will be arranged according to plan."

SeoYun opened her mouth to argue, but Seulgi grabbed her arm tightly, shaking her head. "Jimin, I want to stay here. I want to have a comeback. I've decided I want to continue my career and carry on with my life."

SeoYun gasped. "Seulgi!-"

Jimin ignored SeoYun and looked at Seulgi in shock. This was the last thing he expected to hear from her. "You want to have a comeback?"

You couldn't blame Jimin for being surprised. Seulgi was at the peak of her career when she suddenly announced her retreat from the entertainment industry. She was well known, with a successful path laid out in front of her. If she didn't quit she would have been one of today's most popular stars.

Seulgi didn't even tell Jimin before she announced her departure, so it was strange that she suddenly wanted to go back.

That time he asked her why, she just said she was too fed up with the job and she wanted a peaceful life.
But after these four long years, she wants a comeback?

Seulgi nodded. "I want to continue my career."

"Didn't you tell me you don't like life in the entertainment industry?"

Seulgi sighed reminiscently. "I lied to
you... I believed that I didn't really have a choice." She began. "Grandma didn't like my profession, and I thought by leaving she would have accepted our relationship... But in the end she still didn't like me at all. No matter what I did she didn't like it..."

She spoke in a low voice. "I thought it over last night. I should do what was best for me, and I don't need to please anyone anymore. I don't think grandma will ever understand my feelings..."

"Have you already thought about this carefully?" Jimin asked once more.

After all, Seulgi was under tremendous stress right now and she was emotional, so Jimin thought that she was being impulsive or finding an excuse to stay here.

"I've thought about it clearly." Seulgi
raised her head to look at Jimin, a
determined expression on her face.
"So, Jimin...Let me stay here,I want
to carry on my life. If i'm going to be
alone regardless here or in the states,
I'd rather stay here and make my way
back to the top... At least I would have a chance."

SeoYun eyed the two nervously, scared that Jimin would reject Seulgi's demands. "Jimin, don't be too ruthless. Give Seulgi a road to live, you owe it to her..."

Seulgi smiled at Neon Yun,squeezing her hand. "Auntie, this isn't about who owes who... It's just something I want to do." She looked at Jimin with a genuine smile. "For Jimin, I could do anything, but this is the conclusion I have come to for myself."

Jimin thought about it for a moment then nodded. 'This could be a good direction to go for everyone. If Seulgi keeps herself busy it will be better for her and for us.' Jimin thought.

"If you want to stay just stay, if you like that apartment, just keep it and continue to live there. If you don't like it, just move somewhere else. If you really want a comeback into the entertainment industry then I'll help you with the power I have. I hope this is really what you want..."

She nodded. "Jimin... I will just ask one last time... You really want to break up with me right? You really don't want me right?" Seulgi asked, holding back tears.

Jimin looked at the pitiful girl in front of him. He sighed, and nodded. "You already wasted five years by my side, so don't waste any more of your time by staying and waiting for me, Seulgi."

Seulgi couldn't hold back the tears anymore, and she sobbed silently into her hands. She tried to use her sleeve to wipe away her tears but they couldn't stop falling down. She shakily took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down.

Seulgi turned to Jimin, and gave him a soft smile. "Okay..."

SeoYun was shocked, and looked at Seulgi with astonishment "Seulgi..."
She couldn't believe that she would agree to break up with Jimin.

"You said you're going to help me, right?"

Jimin nodded, relieved that she was taking this rather well..

Seulgi thought for a moment, then pouted."I still have one request... I want a comeback so I'm asking you to not tell the public about this breakup until I'm steady in the industry. Can you do that for me?"

Since Jimin is a powerful man, it could be a strong backup and she could use it as a golden ticket to the top.

Jimin was silent for a moment, unsure. But he reluctantly agreed. This was for the greater good after all.

"Okay."

"Mom, let me send you home."

"I will not go. I am not as heartless as you. Now Seulgi is like this, I want to stay and take care of her." SeoYun replied. She was incredibly unhappy about the current turn of events.

"I already asked someone to take care
of her. You should come home with me. Grandma already looked dissatisfied with you." Jimin knows that Grandma and SeoYun are not on good terms.

She apparently wasn't content about
her daughter-in-law. Same goes with
his dad, SeoYun was not really
close to him either. He never cared or
minded her business.

They only showed up in public together as a play.

Last time when she didn't return home because of Seulgi, Grandma was already extremely disappointed.

Yesterday night she didn't return home again,supposedly now,Grandma was really angry with her.

SeoYun's face paled, she knew that Jimin was right. She glanced at Seulgi apologetically, she really felt that it was not a good time to leave her alone.

"Auntie, just go home. I'm okay. There will be someone to take care of me." Seulgi reassured her, waving for her to leave.

"Then you need to be careful alright? Rest up and don't overexert yourself." SeoYun sighed worriedly.

SeoYun didn't want to have a fight with Grandma,otherwise,her position in the Park family would be even more difficult.
