Flash Marriage with a CEO | [JenLisa Adaptation]

16

The Bright Night Gala, in reality, was also a night of paving the path for Jennie Kim. Once again, Jennie destroyed all hopes Heaven Entertainment had of suppressing her. At the same time, at the launch ceremony, a small newcomer like herself that shouldn't have gotten much notice -- because of Lisa and her own calm demeanor -- ended up leaving a lasting impression on everyone. Amongst these people were leading professionals in the fashion industry including the CEO of Star Age who had previously given her an offer. 

Jennie Kim... 

...a model that Star Age had tried to poach multiple times. A model that had been blacklisted by Star King 3 years ago and ended up announcing a comeback 3 years later. Someone that had been schemingly suppressed, yet she managed to calmly get to where she was today; even being fortunate enough to take a photo with the CEO of Oceans Entertainment...

Due to all of this, the CEO of Star Age, Park Seojoon, approached Taehyung before the launch ceremony was over and said, "I've been trying to poach Jennie Kim for 3 years now, yet she's never accepted my offer even once. However, looking at how your company has been treating her, I feel like I need to try again..."

Park Seojoon.

Taehyung looked at the tall, built and powerful man before him. Originally, he was going to say this was a matter that concerned Heaven's themselves, but thinking about all the years Jennie had been with Heaven Entertainment and how she had not only been loyal to him, but also missed many opportunities, Taehyung's mouth twitched a little but no words came out. 

"When that time comes...don't regret it."

Taehyung was silent because the man before him had a more capable agency than his. At the same time, his mind was a mess, because he had never expected Jennie would ever leave Heaven Entertainment.

It turned out, all along he had been too focused on himself: on one side he was cheating with Tzuyu, on the other he was hanging on to Jennie. Never had he considered Jennie Kim was a gem; her tolerance, all that she had given, her honesty...all of it would cease some day.

"V-ssi, don't tell me you are feeling merciful?" Taeri exclaimed loudly upon noticing her brother was unusually quiet.

"No way!" Taehyung wrapped his arm around Tzuyu as he responded stubbornly. However, the fear in his heart was slowly seeping through.

It was a bright night; lights were flashing and wine glasses clinked. At this moment, Taehyung and Jennie's distance was no longer as simple as a few rows of seats.

After the launch ceremony was over, Seonho recommended Jennie to multiple fashion companies and personalities as they mingled amongst the guests. During one of their conversations, Seonho couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Where is your manager? May I meet her? I feel like we got along really well during our conversations."
