On his way back to the rest room a girl came running towards him, Sehun lost his balance and almost collided with her "Ji Hye Jin are you blind?" Baek sehun yelled. he was already going through a bad mood.
"what's up with your temper?" the girl replied in a polite tone.
"your dad is a monster" sehun said with a disgusted look on his face.
Ji Hye Jin wasn't offended by his comment. Baek se-hun and Ji Hye Jin had known each other for a long time. what if she was the daughter of the President of Star King Entertainment, she was aware of her father's harsh tactics.
"I know. it's because of him that my Taemin had to suffer so much"
sehun rolled his eyes "your taemin? Is there any limit of your one sided infatuation?Taemin doesn't even shows the least bit of intrest in you but still you continue to stick around him like a pest. its annoying"
Ji Hye Jin was used to his direct insults but she didn't care "how can you say that!! I assume we are friends. Sehun you are too rude!!"
"friends my foot" sehun never gave her any importance. she ignored his remark.
"whatever! have you ever seen him interested in any girl at all? perhaps he will soon realise I am the one who will stick around him until the end. He will have to accept me."
Being the daughter of President Ji Min seok, Ji Hye Jin was a very calculative girl. She was madly in love with Taemin and the entire company including her father was aware of it but Taemin never approved her more then an acquaintance.
Ji Min seok never liked Taemin because of his rebellious attitude, he was more than relieved by the fact that Taemin doesn't like his daughter.
"Taemin...are you okay?" Ji Hye Jin hurried to his side. all the members looked at each other trying to suppress their smiles. Taemin signed, he was already ill and another headache arrived just in time to annoy him more.
when Taemin didn't reply Ji Hye Jin continued to pester him "I was so worried. Now that you are okay I can breathe again." she gave the most innocent smile possible but taemin didn't bother to look at her.
"did you take the medicine?"
"yes I did" Taemin replied only to not hurt her.
"then..what about the IV drip? are you feeling better now?"
"Yes I am"
"okay I will stay here with you until you go back to the dorm" she spoke in a sugar coated voice. The members were enjoying the scene in front of them.
Taemin refused at once "There is no need"
Ji Hye Jin nervously started thinking about something else to impress him.
"I will go to father and talk to him about your condition, he is being too hard on you" she tried to keep her voice as sweet as possible.
she appears to be the most manerfull and suitable girl for any bachelor in town. she was polite and kind, a very few people were actually aware of who she really was. On the surface she appears to be a white lotus to gather attention and seek favors but from inside she was as selfish and greedy as her father who only loved money and power. Kim so-hyun was dangerous but Ji Hye Jin was worse because she was always under a mask concealing her evil side with a sweet and sincere behavior. Taemin's temper rose at once "you see miss I am in a really horrible mood it's better you go away from here before I do anything which you may regret later. thank you very much for your concern but you and your father better stay away from me."
"I was just helping you Taemin" she faked a few drops of tears just to gain some sympathy but none came at all.
"leave"
"fine. I am leaving" she turned to leave but Taemin spoke again "one more thing"
she turned around hopefully.
"Don't come to the concert to mess with me. This time I won't be nice to you anymore."
Ji Hye Jin's expression changed. one sided love was painful "it's okay you don't have to worry. I won't come."
"Good. now leave" Taemin went back to starting the screen of his phone.
Ji Hye Jin left with a sad but desperate expression.
The moment she left all the members laughed in union.
"she is so annoying. did you see her face when Taemin refused her?" choi youngsik copied her expression. Nobody in the band liked Ji Hye Jin.
"she is a real pest" the members sat down on a couch nearby and joined themselves in a conversation while Park Taemin eagerly waited for sunny's text.
**************
Kim Yerin was sleeping peacefully on her bed. The pain in her ankle woke her up. she rubbed her eyes that were swollen as she kept on crying all night. The painful expression on Jonghyun's face when she rejected him flashed accross her mind "sunbae" she rushed out of her bed and stumbled on her feet.
"are you crazy?" Kim yumi entered her room.
"I have to go see sunbae" yerin got up with the help of her sister.
"even after what he did last night you still have the urge to see him again?"
Kim yumi won't forgive Jonghyun easily. How dare he hurt her sister. But yerin has always been protective and warm hearted towards the people she loved. she can't ignore all those years she spent with Jonghyun and their precious friendship.
"Please. Jonghyun needs to understand me. whatever happened last night forget it. he was angry, do you think he can hurt me if he was in his senses?"
when Kim yumi didn't change her expression Yerin started nagging her sister.
"PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I beg you. let me see him once please"
"alright. alright. I will let you go but first get a shower and have your breakfast."
"okay as you wish my sister" Yerin quickly grabbed her towel and went to the bathroom. Today no matter what Yerin should sort out the issue with Jonghyun.
she got ready within a few minutes and started heading downstairs for the breakfast when Kim yumi arrived with a panicked expression "Yerin Jonghyun wasn't picking up my call so I called at his place to check on him, the butler picked up and said he left for the airport. He is going overseas and won't come back again."
she knew it. she knew it clearly that Jonghyun was serious about leaving. Alas! love destroyed an unbreakable bond of friendship.
she has to stop him. she can't let him go.
"sis I shall go to stop him"
Kim yerin left.
"To the Incheon airport. quick!" she instructed the chauffeur.
Their car took off in full speed towards the airport. Kim yumi was worried. Yerin was already injured, what if they creates another scene at the airport. They sure will attract the attention of the Public. once someone discovers their identities they will create another scandal for the company. Unable to stop herself she called Heo yun-ji and followed Yerin to the Airport.
On the way to the airport Yerin called Jonghyun's father to ask him about the flight details. As soon as the car slowed down she got off and walked towards terminal 1.
