Love Will Remember | Jikook [COMPLETED] 🔞

Chapter 32

It was close to noon and they had stepped out of the hospital to get a breather. Namjoon wanted to inform his friends about his findings and get their insights on certain things. Things took a different turn.

A certain woman kept pulling his attention toward her. Standing at five-foot-three-inches, she was easy to the eyes with soft features and a cute nose. Her hair was secured in a bun and he thought she'll look great with her hair down. What enticed him more was her sharp tongue and explosive personality. Alvira was charming, compassionate, and all fun with her friends. She always beamed and fell into ease when she was around them. But for some reason, she went all defensive when it came to him. And it was definitely entertaining. He didn't remember the last time a woman kept him on his toes all the time.

When finally Jin handed him Portia's phone, Namjoon scrolled through the Instagram account amazed at the extent these women would go to protect their loved ones. Eunji's post that morning had garnered so much attention from the media and public given she was a successful model. The tabloids had already gone crazy digging into Jimin's life. And he was completely sidetracked with morning's incident.

The trio's comments had quickly thrown the media vultures into a frenzy. Sure, he stepped into Katy's account to see it littered with a lot of selfies with Jimin. More comments were flooding their notification panel. People who didn't know them would definitely think there was a thing going on between her and Jimin.

Why would she throw herself under the bus? Then again, he already had his answer. She was someone who cared less about her reputation. And when it involved her friends, she threw caution to the wind. He clicked Jimin's account seeing more photos of him with the women, more with Katy.

He quickly shot a text to his team working on Jimin from his phone informing them of this progress and instructed his PR team to do damage control. They'd remove any unnecessary posts, articles, comments or threat to them. He certainly couldn't involve Jungkook or Hoseok's PR team in this issue. Also, Katy had unintentionally stepped into the issue were Jimin was concerned. So, now he felt responsible for her as well.

Namjoon also made a note to clear Katy's past now that he knew how much she meant to his friend. He could say Hoseok wasn't thrilled by the way his lips set in a thin line forming a downward curve, but there wasn't anything Hoseok could do were she was concerned. She barely spared a glance at his direction.

"Hoseok-ah, how come I never knew your relationship with Jimin? It's obvious you're close, but you never spoke of him or posted a photo of you together." Even Jimin's Instagram did not have any photos of Hoseok.

"Jimin didn't want others to use him as a way to get to me," Hoseok said. "He's stubborn that way and even refused to work for me." A fond smile curved his lips. "He said he didn't want to take advantage of my kindness and he wanted to do it for himself."

Namjoon nodded, his respect for Jimin increased two-fold. Jimin was certainly different. He tapped his fingers thoughtfully on the table as he continued to scroll through their photos. When he initially dug into Jimin's life, there wasn't much he could find. His Instagram account was set to private. But Namjoon had his ways, he'd quickly found Jimin's connection with the trio, but they were nothing out of the ordinary—just four friends hanging out with each other.

But that hadn't given him much insight into Jimin's situation. He often visited the hospital in an attempt to figure out Jimin when his migraine episode happened. His brother had surprisingly opened about his past and Taehyung had filled him in. Those newfound details had set the investigation into a different direction altogether.

"Why would you put yourself in the spotlight?" he asked Katy with a frown. "Do you realize how ugly this could get?"

Katy lifted a brow, cocking her head to the side with a smirk lifting the corner of her lip. "Do I look like I care?" she scoffed. "Been there and done that for all wrong reasons." She sipped her hot chocolate. "This time I'm doing it for all the right reasons."
