DON'T LET ME GO | PJM

Chapter 28

T/W: insult, bully, sexual abuse

Neon Yun took her phone, and dialed a number. "Auntie, what happened?" Seulgi answered.

"Seulgi-ah..." Neon Yun didn't know why she called her. But at this moment, she felt she no longer belonged there and she only got Seulgi. She panicked and called her.

She took a deep breath, she didn't want her to get emotional and accidentally told her everything. She shook her head: "No, nothing. I just want to ask how you have been recently?"

Seulgi found it humorous, she smiled. "If you want to know my condition, you could just see the news."

"I am sorry, Seulgi-ah." She breathed out, holding her tears. She accidentally let out a single sob, she hurriedly held it.

Seulgi knew the reason for her apology but she pretended to not understand. She faked being surprised. "Why are you apologizing, Auntie? Did you do something wrong to me?" She paused. "Recently, I was thinking about my biological parents who abandoned me. Wondering what would they like. If one day I met them, would they apologize to me?"

Neon Yun's body suddenly went stiff. It was harder for her to breathe. Seulgi felt as if her heart was pricked so she just laughed and hung up.

When she called, Seulgi was applying her lipstick. She styled herself in delicate makeup, it was an instruction from Ms Bae.

She said that the old perverted man, President Jang, liked a little girl with an innocent look. He didn't like women with heavy make up. He always liked Seulgi because of her delicate appearance, as she looks pure, innocent, and submissive.

Seulgi agreed to have dinner with that old dirty man and she obviously knew what would happen. Nobody could help her now, she needed to depend on herself. Nobody knew how miserable she felt at this moment. She just held her hands tightly, her eyes turned red.

Ms Bae entered the room and went to her side. "Let me see." She examined her appearance and after she was satisfied, she patted her shoulder. "Change your clothes and let's go."

Seulgi stayed silent for a while in front of the dressing table. Ms Bae held her hands: "Seulgi-ah, don't think about this too much. What is it? Success is the first priority. You don't want your efforts to go to waste, right?" She continued. "Now come on, change your clothes. We should set off now. Don't let him wait too long, he doesn't like to wait."

She finally changed her clothes and Ms Bae held her hands to get in the car. After they arrived, Ms Bae once again reminded her: "Remember, be nice to him. Don't give him a disgusted face. This is all for your future."

"I know." Seulgi extinguished her cigarette and threw it away.

They knew President Jang reserved a private meeting room for them but he reserved the whole restaurant. There were several people there, it was not a date. It was like a dinner gathering. When she opened the door, she kept clutching Seulgi's hand to encourage her. When the door opened, Seulgi put a big smile on her face.

"President Jang, everyone. Sorry for making you all wait. Our Seulgi is here." Ms Bae pulled her inside then smiled at everyone.

When he noticed her, he gave her a warm smile and patted on the seat beside her. "Ms Kim, come and sit here." But even though she was here, she actually hadn't prepared her heart to deal with him. He made her sick to the stomach.

Noticing that Seulgi was unwilling to move, Ms Bae became worried. "What did I say? Don't make him angry, you will fall deeper. Jimin won't help you anymore, who will help you?"

It was her weak spot, she didn't have anything to say to her defense. It was her own choice to keep staying in this industry. She bit her lip and finally sat beside him.
