In a deserted alley,

Taehee was returning home late at night after a shoot. This alley was completely deserted and quite dark. Taehee didn't have a car because all her money had been spent during the years she was out of work. She had to sell her car as a result. She had managed her expenses so far by doing small jobs. But now that her career was about to get back on track, she thought she would buy a car again because she was confident that after this movie, she would shine in the industry once more. All of this was only possible because of Jungkook, but when Jungkook asked for her help in return, what did she do? She betrayed him. Taehee still felt guilty about this. But she couldn't help Jungkook, no matter how much she wanted to, because it could ruin her career before it even started to rebuild. Therefore, she selfishly refused to help Jungkook.

As she was walking, Taehee suddenly heard footsteps behind her, which scared her. She turned around and saw some boys standing behind her, holding Rods and hockey sticks. One of them even had a large, sharp knife. They looked like thugs, and seeing them made Taehee's heart race. She had only one thought in her mind: to run away from there and save herself. So, without thinking, she quickly started to run. Seeing her run, the leader of the thugs shouted, "Catch her... don't let her get away today... how dare she try to take our Jennie Madam's place... thinks she's a big dancer... I'll make sure she spends her life walking with a crutch." Hearing the leader, all the thugs started chasing her. Taehee heard this too and realized that Jennie had sent them after her. Jennie couldn't stop her from doing the song, so she was now resorting to this dirty trick. Terrified, Taehee's pace quickened, and she ran like a racer. Then came a turn in the alley, and she turned. The thugs also reached the turn, but it was a very narrow alley, just a few steps long. It had two more turns, one to the left and one to the right. When they reached the turn and looked left and right, they couldn't see Taehee anywhere.

"What do we do now, boss? Where could that girl have gone?" one of the thugs asked.
"Half of you go left and the other half go right. Whoever finds her should call the others. And don't even think about having any fun with her... I just want her legs broken, that's all... otherwise, our reputation will be ruined," the boss said. They quickly split into two teams and started searching for Taehee.
After they left, Taehee emerged from her hiding spot inside one of the two dustbins among the pile of garbage. As soon as they left, she called the police to save herself. When her call connected, she immediately told the police about the entire incident and her location. The police instructed her to stay where she was. Spending even a moment in the dustbin was unbearable for Taehee, but she had no choice to save her life, so she pinched her nose and stayed hidden. After thoroughly searching the area, the thugs regrouped, realizing Tanisha couldn't have gone far in such a short time, meaning she was hiding nearby. "Find the bitch... she must be hiding around here somewhere," the boss said. At his command, everyone started searching again. Taehee's heartbeat was so fast she felt she might have a heart attack, but she remained motionless out of fear. The thugs were searching the dustbins on the left and right sides of the turn.

The boss, standing right at the turn, suddenly felt the need to relieve himself and did so on the garbage in the small alley. After zipping up, he glanced at the dustbins and grew suspicious. He opened the lid of one and immediately smiled because Taehee was hiding inside. "So, here you are, hiding... did you think you could take our Jennie Madam's place and I would just watch quietly? If I let that happen, how could I call myself her biggest fan? Now, I have to prove it," he said, kicking the dustbin hard and knocking it over. Taehee fell out with it. The boss pulled her out by her hair as she screamed in pain, holding her head and crying.
"Please, let me go... I'll leave this song and... I'll never cross paths with Jennie again... please let me go," Taehee pleaded. But the boss showed no mercy. The truth was that Jennie hadn't asked him to do any of this. He was doing it on his own to prove himself as her biggest fan. Jennie wasn't even aware that she had such a crazy fan; otherwise, she would have taken advantage of it long ago. The boss called his thugs over and said, "Beat her... break her legs."
