Our Little Experiment | Yoonminseok

Chapter 37

"A cunning makeup artist tried to poison Jung Hoseok in order to steal away his fiance Min Yoongi"

"Park Jimin, rookie makeup artist, put famous model's life at danger for personal gain"

"Who is Park Jimin and what brought him to Seoul in reality?"

Jimin's eyes ran through endless headlines with his name on it. Never once in life he thought that his face would be displayed on all magazines and newspapers. He hadn't logged in social media for few days, due to Jin deleting all apps from his phone. Of course he could easily install them back, but Jimin preferred not to know what strangers who didn't know anything about him, wrote there.

Jimin was sure everyone hated him for attempting to poison nation's beloved model. Not to mention the way media made it look like Jimin did it to separate Yoongi from Hoseok and have the young CEO all to himself.

The makeup artist's life became living hell ever since that accident. The reporters followed him everywhere and even found his home address. However, what hurt Jimin even worse was that people started recognising him on streets. They would start whispering and pointing their fingers at him. Majority glared at the male as if he was a heartless killer, which Jimin probably was in their eyes.

"Are you listening to me, mochi?" Jessi asked the male who just sat in front of her expressionless. He weakly nodded, asking her to continue when in reality he hadn't heard even a word his boss said.

"Will you kick me out now?" He asked her, avoiding eye contact with female. He was really ashamed of the mess he had caused. Jimin knew he was innocent, but that didn't justify the fact that he applied on model expired makeup products, which in addition had some dangerous chemicals in it. He put Hoseok's life in danger and that was something Jimin couldn't forgive himself.

"No Jimin, I won't." The female replied with sigh. "You're a part of family now. I'm not gonna leave you when you're having hard time."

Jimin really wanted to burst into tears at her kindness. He didn't deserve the support Jessi was showing him. Her company was affected a lot by the accident. Nevertheless, the female stayed loyal to Jimin and believed in him.

"We've worked together for months, Mochi." She said softly. "I know you'd never do such mistake. Expired make up? What kind of bullshit is that? Someone definitely wanted to set you up. When did an angel like you manage to make enemies?"

Jimin bit his inner cheek while playing with his sweater paws. He had a particular person on his mind who could do this to him. She already threatened him and promised to make him lose everything.

"I'm sorry." He murmured. "You'll have lot of troubles if I stay here. The reputation of your agency will be ruined. I can't let this happen..." Jimin was sincere. He really cared for his colleagues' and Jessi's well being. It was true that he wasn't close with majority of them, but he still didn't want others to be affected by him.

"Nonsense! You aren't going anywhere." Jessi exclaimed and shook her hands in air, not accepting Jimin's selfless suggestion. "We'll figure something out, just go and take a rest from everything, okay? Try to avoid reporters and don't talk those bloodsuckers. I swear to God they'll be my death one day."

Jimin couldn't help but smile at his dramatic boss. Jessi was just great. She really didn't have to be by Jimin's side, but she chose to go through hardships with him. No one else would have done that.

"I'll go home then." Jimin bowed to woman before heading to exit.

"Okay. Go and try to sleep. I love you, but you really look like zombie, hun."
