Taehyung glared at Y/N with a murderous expression. Clenching his teeth, he spat out his last sentence before ruthlessly removing his hands from her neck. Without sparing her another glance, he left.

Play till your death.. Y/N's long lashes trembled slightly as her face paled. She remained glued to the wall until a thundering door slam resounded.

Only then did she swallow the saliva that had formed behind her tightly clasped lips. Exhausted, she collapsed to the ground, tears clouding her vision.

Why would she climb into his bed just to act in 'To the End of Time' ?

She just wanted to use it as an excuse to conceal her real feelings.

Feelings only kept to herself. Her love for him. 　

She loved him. She was secretly in love with him for the past thirteen years, never daring or allowing herself to let him know. 　

She thought that if she just concealed her feelings, everything would turn out alright. But never would she have known that one night, slightly intoxicated, she would expose her deepest secret. She had clearly overestimated her own abilities.

Even though she had infuriated Taehyung by climbing into his bed, she still received a phone call from 'To the End of Time' crew three days later, informing her to go for an audition.

It wasn't made known to her whether the audition was the director's decision or an order from Taehyung.

Her screen time for the drama was neither too little nor too much. It wasn't a major role but it wasn't a filler either. But it was definitely a thousand times better than her previous role.

Since the role was obtained through undignified means, the audition was just a formality. Directly after it, she signed the contract. 　

Three days later, Y/N officially joined the crew, just a day after Taehyung had flown off to Rome to film a new movie. 　

After a wild night together, the married couple of two months had gone separate ways.

Three months later..

After three months of filming 'To the End of Time', the television drama successfully ended off in a rented mansion worth thirty million dollars. The whole crew erupted in joy, the happiest being the director.

He picked up his phone and generously booked the top floor dining hall of Park Hyatt hotel, treating the whole crew to a celebratory meal. 　　

'To the End of Time' ended around 3 pm in the afternoon. The technical crew needed to pack up their equipment and the actors needed to remove their makeup and change, hence the celebratory meal was set at night, around 8 pm. 　

Taehyung had been in Rome all that time due to the filming of his new movie. Using the limited two day break in-between his tight schedule, he returned to the country to settle sudden issues arisen in the company.

Due to the time constraint, he barely had any time to rest from the long flight. Right after landing in Seoul International Airport, he went straight to the company.

Without time wasted, the meeting started the minute he entered. The board had already gathered and was waiting for his arrival. 　

The meeting lasted from 3 pm in the afternoon all the way till 6 pm at night. Taehyung's assistant followed him into his office.

"Mr. Kim, I've already booked the 12 am flight to Rome. After touchdown, you can rest up to fifteen hours before your next scene."

After the long flight and a meeting that lasted the whole afternoon, Taehyung looked exhausted. Sitting in his office, he casually took out the phone he had on silent while listening to his assistant report his schedule.

Just as he was about to lock his phone, a message came in. He smoothly clicked it open, "To the End of Time' filming completed. There'll be a celebratory banquet tonight at 8 pm in Park Hyatt hotel. Do drop by if you have the time!"

Taehyung stared at the message for about five seconds before lifting his head indifferently. He nodded towards his assistant, acknowledging his report. 　　

His assistant had been working for him for many years, hence he was well acquainted with his boss' aloof personality.

Unperturbed by Taehyung's lack of concern, he continued,

"Mr. Kim, there are about six hours before the airplane takes off. Would you like to have dinner in the city or at the airport?"

"In the city," He replied faintly. Before his assistant could ask about the location, he continued, " Park Hyatt hotel."

When he and his assistant finished their meal, it was already 8.30 pm. They footed the bill before proceeding to the main door. Just as they reached it, Taehyung stopped.

His assistant stopped immediately as well. "Mr Kim, is something wrong?"

He remained silent for awhile and just when his assistant was started debating whether or not to repeat the question, he replied, "Wait for me in the car, I have something to do upstairs."

He stood at the main door for a few more seconds before turning towards the lift. 　　

-

As part of the crew in 'To the End of Time', Y/N was naturally at the dinner. The minute she reached the city, she had hurriedly bathed, changed her clothes, done her hair, and applied light makeup before rushing to Park Hyatt hotel.

Despite preparing in record time, Y/N was still late for the dinner. When she reached, 'To the End of Time' director was already on the stage, addressing the crowd, expressing his gratitude.

Since everyone was focused on the director, no one noticed Y/N's late arrival. She stood in the crowd, looking around before making a beeline for her manager, Jisoo.

After the director's brief speech, the dinner began.

Since it was a banquet, socializing and alcohol were customary.

Y/N wasn't an A lister in the industry but her pretty face, perfect figure, good personality, and eloquence allowed her to shine, so she fit in perfectly.

She was starving by the time she greeted everyone in the banquet. Without hesitation, she pulled Jisoo towards the buffet area. She filled her plate before randomly sitting down near a window. After a few bites, the originally boisterous banquet hall suddenly fell silent.

Y/N lifted her head in curiosity as she continued to munch on her food. Following the direction of the crowd's gaze, she saw Taehyung.
