CLUE IN

Jimin and Jin bent forward to get a better view of Vante's picture. The two surveyed the photo critically, most especially Jimin. After a while, a loud gasp escaped his mouth.

"Holy Crap! He's Vante Scarlett, am I right? The new rising actor!" Jimin asked Jungkook for confirmation as soon as he recognized his face.

Jungkook frowned for a moment, as though puzzled by Jimin's exasperated reaction. "Do you know him?"

Meanwhile, Jin just watched them silently, clueless about Vante's identity. Among the three men, only Jimin was very familiar with the actor.

"Don't tell me he is one of your ex-boyfriends," Jin innocently asked Jimin, which brought another deep frown to Jungkook's face, his mouth twisting in displeasure.

Fortunately, Jimin immediately shook his head, denying it. "Of course not! I just often heard his name from one of my ex-girlfriends, who was an actress. Many of the actresses in the show's business circles hated him!"

"Why is that so?" Jin felt intrigued.

"Because of competition. Vante Scarlett is a rising star. His career has been booming recently, bringing his name to fame. Of course, they felt threatened by his existence," he explained.

"Women's jealousy and insecurity, I guess," Jimin added, shrugging his shoulders.

Jungkook and Jin both nodded their heads as they understood what he meant.

"Do you think he's like those other actors who climbed into someone else's bed just to get more resources and projects?" Jungkook suddenly posed this question, which naturally came into his mind.

Jimin burst out into a peal of laughter when he heard that question. He felt so amused as he recalled something. Jimin waved his forefinger from left to right, telling them it was a big "no.".

"I heard he's not that kind of acor who would exchange his body just to get famous and have support from influential people. There was this incident where the former CEO of Starlight's Company offered him an indecent proposal to become his mistress but he blatantly refused it.

"The funny thing was that he screwed that old man's fat ass by revealing it to the press, destroying the former CEO's reputation and image. Hahaha." Jimin spoke spontaneously with his blabbering mouth. "He's cool, isn't he?" he mumbled, his eyes gleaming with amusement.

"Hmm, he's an interesting fellow, huh?" Jin blurted out, rubbing his chin. There was a wide smirk on his face as he continued to listen to Jimin.

"But wait! Isn't he the one who committed suicide just a few days ago? How did he become my assignment? And how did you know him? What do you want me to do with him? Find the reason why he committed suicide." Jimin threw more questions for Jungkook to answer.

Jin was also all ears on Jungkook, wondering why Jungkook had Vante's files. He could tell that he had already conducted a background check on the actor.

"The man whom Do-Yun is claiming to be his future husband... is him," Jungkook said, pointing his finger at Vante's photo.

Jimin: "..."

Jin: "..."

The two men were at a loss for words for a moment. They had never seen it coming. But, in fairness, Vante was a young and charming man. No wonder Little Do-Yun was smitten by his angelic beauty. But the question is... how did Do-Yun meet him if he was confined in the hospital after his alleged suicide attempt?

As if Jungkook had read their minds, he spoke again to explain, making things clear. "Vante Scarlett claimed that he didn't commit suicide. He's no longer in the hospital. Do-Yun and Vante met a few days ago. Do-Yun ended up bringing him home. Now, he's staying at our mansion... with us."
