46.Mr Kim to Tae Hyung

Author's POV

"Can we talk Mr Kim?" Hobi knocked at Tae's car door angrily.

Tae rolled his class window and was clueless about Hobi's frustration.

"Y-es?" He waited for Hobi to continue and gestured for the driver to stop the engine.

"I need to talk with you. ALONE" Hobi emphasised the word Alone and Tae asked the driver to exit and let Hobi, inside of the car.

"What happened?is something bothering you?" Tae was concerned.

"Can you see this ?" Hobi hand over a script document to Tae.

"Read it " He further added and Tae started reading the document one by one until his eyes caught Jimin's signature below the actor sign.

"How could this?" Tae clenched the paper and he crashed the paper like a ball.

"That boy is only 17 years old Mr Kim
And if you are going to protect him,then do it properly." Hobi said with a heart broken and left the car.

End of POV

Tears welled up in my eyes as Mr. Kim called his staff to settle my father's debts. I felt a mix of gratitude, guilt, and desperation as I pleaded with him not to take such a drastic step. My uncle watched in stunned silence, his usual bravado nowhere to be found.

"Why didn't you come to me when you were in trouble, Jimin?" Mr. Kim's voice was a mixture of frustration and concern, and it cut through me like a knife.

His words hung heavy in the air as I struggled to find the right response. I wanted to explain, to apologize, to make things right, but the words caught in my throat.

"And what if they hurt you again? What if they take advantage of you once more?" Tae's voice cracked with emotion, his anger and worry intermingling in a way that left me feeling both comforted and ashamed.

I opened my mouth to speak, but the words escaped me. My gaze dropped to the floor, unable to meet his intense stare.

"Meet me in my office at 9," were his final words before he left the room, his footsteps echoing in the silence.

Later, I found myself in his office, Lisa explaining the details of the contract that would bind me to Mr. Kim's company for two years. If anyone in the industry wanted to work with me, then they have to seek Mr Kim first and at me. If someone breaks the rule then the person will be imprisoned for a year under the act of DGG (there is no such rule , I made it). The contract can only be terminated only if I turn 18 or above.

As I signed the documents, my heart ached with a mixture of gratitude and guilt. I knew I had taken so much from him without ever truly giving back.

Mr Kim already left the cabin and I  followed Mr. Kim to the balcony, my heart pounding in my chest. He stood there, lost in thought, and I approached him with trepidation.

"Hyung, why are you standing here?" I asked in a soft whisper, hoping to break the silence that hung between us.

But he didn't respond, his gaze fixed on the distance.

"I said I'm sorry," I pouted, my voice barely audible as I blocked his path, desperately seeking his attention.

Tae breathed heavily as I chased after him, determined to have him talk to me.

"I can't run, Hyung. Stop it. My knees are hurting," I gasped, and he finally halted when there was no escape route.

We both panted, our breaths heavy, and I pretended to almost faint, causing him to catch me.

"Hey, Jimin?" Mr. Kim panicked.

"You talked with me," I giggled, opening one eye. He finally smiled, and we both burst into laughter, a sense of relief washing over us

"Never do this !" He told me and I nodded while munching the burger he bought me. We both are in his car, as Today I'm going to drive with him to the set.

"Yes Hyungnim!" I blinked my eyes like a good kid.

"But how can I return this favour hyung? You are doing many things for me. And i don't think I'm worthy to receive good treatment from you." I said genuinely.

He smiled and looked at me, "There is something with you and I want you to give me." He added.

"What it is ?" I asked him in a curious tone.

"I will tell you once you become matured enough to understand what I'm saying. Ok?" He asked me.

"I will give you anything you ask for me . Hyungnim!" I giggled

"Let's see that!' He grinned and we arrived at the set.

Ever since Tae hyung came to know about me getting abused he stayed by my side all the time. So I couldn't interact with Jungkook.

Me and Jungkook sometimes stare at each other or tease each other during the shoot. He also hand over me a phone number,which I was joy over the moon.

Later I found out that, it was a Martial arts Coach number. I smiled and enrolled in the session.

The shooting was over and I was busy in my board exams and my feelings for Jungkook was still there in my heart but I didn't give importance much to it.

Our movie was a huge success and I became popular overnight. Everyone appreciated me and they remarked my acting skills are best than Taehyung hyung.

Many directors are curious to work with me and I'm so overwhelmed by the fans response.

By seeing my growth ,Mr Kim asked me to pick for a manger like Lisa and I choose Shinee who was also from Busan.

He seems like a good one for me. I also bought a new penthouse for me and in these two years I have acted 20 films with different directors and actors.

My Uncle sometimes hit me and he developed a drinking habit, so he was always in a drowsy mood.

I have earned lot of money and fame. But do I look happy? No. There is something missing in my life.

My thoughts got struck on Jungkook's jacket again. Whenever I feel upset or hurt, his jacket kept me comforting.

What is he doing? Why he hasn't done any film after the release ? I miss him every night.

Today , I saw him in Tae's company and Lisa told me , Tae rejected Jungkook's script.

I need to use this opportunity. I asked my team to invite Jungkook to tomorrow's award show.

He is rude but I know he will come to the award show. I smiled at the thought and went to stage for a dance performance.
