Chapter 24

It was nearing night when they got out of the office and reached the elevator, Lorraine got in first and her skin prickled when Jimin entered the lift. She could almost imagine that Jimin's next move would be to pin her against the metal wall, but thankfully, his anger was limited to his eyes glaring holes into her.

They reached back to the car, sitting and driving out. Thankfully, Jimin drove from the back to avoid the reporters.

"Drive to my hotel." She said, opening her phone to track it through GPS.

"You're coming to my home."

Lorraine snapped her neck towards Jimin so quickly her neck ached. She just couldn't believe him.

"I don't know what goes on in your head, Park Jimin, but I'm not living with seven men in a house from which six of them I barely know and one of them is a fucking douchébag."

She could see Jimin's jaw clench, rolling her eyes and looking straight ahead.

The moments passed in silence, she didn't know what the hell was she thinking when she said that they'd talk it out, because clearly none of them wanted to crawl out of their asses and didn't know where the hell to bury their damn ego and just talk.

Halfway through her hotel, she got a call. It was her director's. She picked it up.

"Hello?"

"Where are you?"

"Korea, had some business."

"Dammit Lorraine, I arranged a shoot for tomorrow."

She clenched the phone tighter at that, restraining herself from shouting.

"Well, you should've told me earlier than a day before."

"I called everyone, Lorraine. They were available. Shit, why're you becoming so irresponsible, we decided releasing the movie in two months."

She messaged her temples in frustration.

"We're still on the last seen. We'll figure it out."

"You need to stop growing my blood pressure. And what's with the scandal? You know, we can't afford them before the movie promotions. I'll have to arrange this on the next week. You'll be back by then?"

"Yeah."

"Fine. If you skip, Lorraine. With all due respect, I won't be able to hold the contract anymore. Thanks."

The phone hung up after that, leaving her completely bewildered.

No this isn't happening.

While she was here trying to save Jimin's career and resolve the issue, her own career was fading away like crumbled ashes.

Nothing meant to her more than that. This was her home. And now it was going away because of Jimin.

She was getting increasingly mad, not wanting to hear from the director anymore, with a frustrated goal, she threw the phone out of the window.

Jimin kicked the break so quickly she shot forward, he looked at her, a shocked expression plastered across his face.

"The fuck you did?!"

She looked away from him, ignoring the incredulous look Jimin was giving her. When she didn't respond, he cursed under his breath and got out of the car.

Thankfully, the road was clear and dark so no one spotted him. He came back with a completely shattered phone and kept it in the cabinet.

Jimin wanted to ask what happened, but he already sort of knew, so he didn't push it. Lorraine was rebellious, she didn't get sad, she got frustrated. Even if it would be her fault.
