Every Rose Has its Thorn

Snitch:

"Are you sure about this?" Yang Hyun-Suk looked at HoJoon from behind his desk.

"Positive. She told me everything." HoJoon nodded. 

"And you are absolutely sure it was Missy Wells who told you this?"

"Yes, she has evidence of it on her cellphone."

Yang Hyun-Suk told a deep breath as he thought. "If it gets out somehow, we'll just say the picture is photo shopped."

"There's a video too. What if she releases that to prove it's real?"

"That's even more difficult." Yang Hyun-Suk  rubbed his chin with his fingers. "In that case it will be useless to deny that it is real, but we'll have to tweak the story. If the evidence is leaked then it will be posted saying that Kwon Jiyong is in a casual relationship with her. We will have to release a statement that he is seriously dating her, that will protect his image for the most part. I will have to discuss this more with Jiyong once he gets back from his vacation in the States."

"She told me it was a secret, but I couldn't take knowing without telling you about it." HoJoon frowned.

"Don't worry, you did the right thing Lee HoJoon. For right now I will talk to her and try to get her to delete the photos and videos from her phone." Yang Hyun-Suk then picked up the phone on his desk. "Yes, please send Missy Wells to my office please. Thank you."

"What if she doesn't delete them?"

"She will once I threaten to fire her for blackmail and give her a one-way ticket back to Phoenix."

"I think I'll just go then." HoJoon laughed nervously. "I'd rather not be here when she comes in. I don't want her to know it was me who told you."

Taeyang had just been making his way down the hall. Missy had not been texting him so he was going to take a minute to find her in the YG building and ask her nicely about it. It was then when he heard her name come up inside the CEO's office. Curious, he leaned against the wall and listened to one of the head composers, Lee HoJoon, tell Yang Hyun-Suk about Missy. Evidence on her phone? Of Jiyong? She told someone about Jiyong's relationship with Victoria? But wait, why would she tell him? He didn't think they knew each other that well.

As he stood there thinking about it, he didn't even notice HoJoon exit the office and politely greet him as he passed by. Not too long after, he looked up and saw Missy approaching, which made him stop leaning on the wall and make his way to her before she could reach the door.

"Missy-" Taeyang instinctively put his hands in hers and in return she gave him a confused glare then pulled her hands away.

"Yes?" She asked as if looking for an explanation for his behavior.

"What's wrong?" She was acting so distant. Was there something wrong? Did she suddenly not like him anymore?

"Nothing. Is there something you need?"

"Oh, I just wanted to ask you something. Did you by any chance tell Lee HoJoon about Jiyong and Victoria? Because he just told Yang Hyun-Suk."

"He what?" Missy's eyes grew wide. "He wasn't supposed to tell anybody."

"Why would you do that? Why did you tell him in the first place?"

"I didn't mean to! It was a stupid drunk mistake, just like the rest of the night with him now." Missy crossed her arms over her chest and pouted.

"What do you mean by that?" Taeyang felt taken aback at her words. "Did you sleep with him?"

"Well yeah." Missy replied like it was something to be expected which made Taeyang feel like his head was exploding.
