[ Taeyeon, I would like to see you in my office as soon as possible. We have some things that need discussing in person. ]
"All right, Let's get straight to it, Taeyeon. Your manager told me that you were not involved in this scandal. And that man didn't even lay a finger to you. It was all pure business. Are you sure there is nothing more to this?" Mr. Kim asked me straightforwardly with a calm voice as he put down his glasses on his table.
"Yes, Sir." I answered with respect. I sat in front of him as he was sitting in his chair.
He nodded. "I'm relieved you're fine, Taeyeon. Your condition is our priority. If I had known someone like him in that building, I wouldn't have sent you there."
I rolled my eyes secretly. You are the least person who really cares about my mental and my safety. You just wanted to make me shut my mouth for a million times.
"Taeyeon.." He uttered my name as if my name was something fragile.
"I have a plan to expose him more. We will come out and tell them to get down on their knees and apologize to you. With the NDA contract as our card. We can start by disclosing the projects they have with you and meetings you attended. After a day we will release a statement stating that it's all true."
Wait, what?
"Then within a week you will release a statement by holding a press conference saying that you are just a victim. It should be on the day of the Gran Saga launch date."
Oh, God how I hated these kinds of things in this very moment. Press conference? So I could gain sympathy from the public to benefit you?
"Once all the public stands behind you, we'll send a lawsuit for him and their employees even when they try so hard to cover up. I will make our connections to run the police and politics." He spoke with such a high amount of authority.
Didn't he hear my explanation just now?
"I know. It will get you excluded from several projects you have but it will be a great benefit in the future for you. Your safety is all that matters. This case will create a wall between you and people who have evil intentions. So no one will ever dare to cross the line." He continued.
My safety? My future? Shouldn't you be afraid of taking down SM's stocks for me?
"Sir-"
"Taeyeon, try to see the benefits from this case. It will focus on you as the main victim and prevent other perverts from approaching you or even working with you in the future. So, you don't have to face situations like this anymore." He stated seriously as he knows what really happened to me. That I was nearly abused. My manager swore me she wouldn't say a word to him so why would he..
Despite on that. I narrowed my eyes. Is this really the Kim Young Min that all SM artists know? A CEO who's only pursues a way to make more cash from a scandal.
"I know what you're thinking." Mr. Youngmin said to me.
"Don't worry. It won't drag your career down, your name won't be damaged and you will only be on hiatus for a month at the most. Then you can start preparing your mini album at the beginning of the year or an asian tour-"
"Don't you think you went too far?" I managed to ask.
"Went too far?" He asked with a look of disbelief.
"I know that men were in the deepest dark place with women since forever but you don't have to use my name to destroy him. I don't want that. Moreover, he will be destroyed with or without me included. So, I don't think this plan is necessary."
