Chapter 6 - Chapter Six:The Scandal.

Park Min Jae was coming out from Do Hee's room and met Tae Moo coming up the stairs he was just coming back from school, and he passed her without talking to her "Kim Tae Moo" Min Jae called out and he stopped and looked back,

"What is it? Tae Moo asked, "Can we talk? Min Jae questioned.

"The last time I checked, we have nothing to talk about" he retorted

"Yeah, I know but I have to talk to you, please just give me the audience," Min Jae said and he put his two hands inside his pockets.

"Just one second" he uttered, "why do you hate me so much till now Tae moo, what have I ever done to you? I thought everything would change between us when you came back from America but rather it became worse, we were enemies in childhood and now also, what have I done to you!!? Min Jae burst out and smirked, he smirked and walked closer to her face then squatted a little and stared into her eyes

"You want to know what you did to me? He asked and Min Jae nodded, fine I will tell you, I hate you because you are nothing but a faker and liar, you only care about your satisfaction which proves you are so selfish" he said. "I am not selfish, I am not a liar, and also not a faker, don't judge me wrongly" She replied

"You only leash off my sister but she is too blind to see it, you are not true to her, you only act like you do because of the things you gain from her or should I rather say us….Tae moo

Said but got interrupted

"Enough"!!Min Jae shouted I won't allow you to insult me Tae Moo, I won't" She said out of rage with her hands gripped, Tae moo smirked, "The truth hurts scumbag, with time my sister will realize the kind of soul you are" he said and walked out. "He is so so annoying, I feel like strangling him," Min Jae said in her mind and left too.

Tae Moo got to his door and saw Do Hee there, "Hey bro, welcome back" She said smiling, "How did your disguise go? Tae Moo said, "What do you mean? (Do Hee), "Don't pretend,you know what I'm saying or you think I don't know you are hiding your personality in your new school, obviously you don't tell me things anymore" Tae Moo uttered, "I planned on telling you but you left for school early so how was I supposed to, now you know though(Do Hee)

"And it's all cause of Min Jae, right? he said and smirked,

"I don't know what you are saying, it is not cause of Min Jae but because I like to keep a low profile," She said with an emotional tone

"Because you don't wanna ruin Min Jae's reputation in school cause of her stupid lies, she knows you are very beautiful and intelligent more than her, and that is why she is insecure that her fake profile will pop out, you always act the fool and kind-hearted girl,will be her superwoman by hiding your identity so you can keep her secrets safe," Tae moo said with an angry tone and then turned his back to enter his room

"Fine, you caught me, but that is because she is like a sister to me, I love her so much like a sister just like I love you too and I can do the same for you if her secrets ever get to be leaked it won't just ruin her reputation but a lot of freaks in that school will bully and detest her….She said but Tae Moo interrupted

"Which she deserves, she deserves to be bullied and detested cause she is nothing but a liar, a scum, she is not true, everything about her is fake, you think she loves you like you do? He smirks, of course not she doesn't but you are too blind to see it, sis, ever since we were kids I keep telling you this but you wouldn't listen, whatever though, you will realize when it's time" Tae moo yelled and went into his room, then banged his door hard. Do Hee uttered that he was annoying before she left, Tae moo has never liked Min Jae right from their childhood days till now, he sees her as a gold digger and wicked person, when they were kids, they fought almost every hour and day, especially Tae moo who always find a way to look for her trouble.

Meanwhile, Tae Moo's first day in his new school wasn't pleasant for him, the girls only admired him and his physique while the boys wanted to be friends because of his prestige and family background, he is an introvert and he rarely socializes with people he doesn't know, which means he did not talk to any of them in his class and outside his class, when he got back it was like a bad luck to him by bumping into Min Jae first before his sister. Park Min Jae walked with anger into her room and scattered all the books on her table and also her bedsheet, then she groaned and fell on her bed with her two hands covering her both ears, Tae moo's words kept ringing in her ears and she was turning on her bed, she was so pissed and got emotional over what he said to her, she recalled when she was still studying at her previous school in junior grade, and how poor and unpopular she was, she recalled the first day she stepped her two legs into" Lee Royal high school" and how exquisite she was looking, the respect and admiration that was poured on her, she just couldn't get off such fantasy."I will do anything and everything within my power to make sure my secrets won't be exposed, even if I have to hurt someone" Min Jae said in her mind and smirked.

Madam Kim Jun Ri was in her big and well-furnished decor office, she was holding a file and looking at it when she heard a knock and she asked the person to come in, her secretary came in, "Good day mam, we got an information from the entertainment company that a scandal broke out just now" Secretary Kira a foreigner said, "What!! Madam Jun Ri said out of dismay and shock, "Yes mam but the manager is currently doing something about that, here is the news mam" she said and handed over her tablet to her and Jun Ri collected it to check out the scandal. She scrolled up and saw a news headline "the suicide committed in Kim entertainment label" madam jun Ri started trembling and her hands were shaking, she knew how the scandal will affect her company and she has to get to the root of the matter with immediate effect,

"One of your label idols" Giya" was just admitted to the hospital a few seconds ago after she was saved from committing suicide and the press captured pictures and videos and citizens and fans are trolling right now" Secretary Kira blurted out, Madam Jun Ri tapped her long fixed nails on her table in thought before she sprang up, "adjourn the meeting till tomorrow I have to be at the label now," she said while she walked out, "Yes madam" Secretary Kira said and locked her office after she went out. There was chaos outside the entertainment label, reporters trying to get inside, and fans protesting and shouting over what happened and their narrative was that something must be going on in the label which made the female idol" Giya" try to commit suicide. A black, tinted, car drove by and parked, then four bodyguards came down, one of them opened the back door and Madam Jun Ri stepped down majestically while they covered every part of her so no one could touch or get in contact with her, they led her into the building and the fans kept shouting and freaking out. Madam Jun Ri went straight to the manager's office and batched angrily, the manager was on his swing chair typing on his laptop but immediately he saw her he stood up out of fear

"go…go..goo…good day President Kim" he stammered, and then Madam Jun Ri walked up to him and slapped him two times

"How dare you? I employed you as a manager here to do my work, to take care of this entertainment label, and make sure every single idol here is safe and well-insured, I barely know most things going on here cause I trust you and least have interest in entertainments I rather invest all my time on my corporation and firms,but yeah now look, you screwed up, how on earth could Giya commit suicide, why don't you know anything going on with her!!! She scolded in a loud voice and the manager knelt before her immediately

"I'm sorry president, I…I…I..never knew such would happen, she recorded her new debut this week and she looked alright, no one noticed anything" the manager uttered out

"You better pray to God that she will be better and alive, if not, I will make sure I make your life miserable for your irresponsibility towards my label, and make sure you do something about the reporters and crazy fans out there, do you understand? she warned in a stern voice.

"Yes madam" he replied and Madam Jun Ri walked out along with her bodyguards.

Kim Do-Hee was inside her room engrossed with her phone, her mind flashed back to her partnership with Joo Hyuk, she felt so annoyed and tensed because she knows she won't be able to accomplish the assignment peacefully all thanks to the unfazed partner she has." How on earth am I supposed to deal with that jerk, gosh I am freaking out over here, I need to take that assignment seriously" her inner voice whispered. She kept pondering on how to foster cooperation between herself and her jerk partner Lee Joo Hyuk, not quite long her door banged open and it turned out to be her twin brother, he sat down on the affluent couch in her bedroom with his legs crossed like a gentleman he is.

"Thought you are mad at me" Do-Hee spoke up,

"I'm not mad at you, I only warned you of Min Jae and am gonna keep doing that, anyways, I don't wanna talk about that" he retorted. She hurriedly stood up from her bed and joined her brother on the couch,

"Can you help me out with something? she asked

"What's that? Tae moo replied curiously.

"We were given an assignment in class and with a partner, I am so doomed my partner turned out to be a total jerk" she apprehended her distress to her twin brother," do you have an idea on how I can persuade him to cooperation and work with him? she asked

Tae Moo sighed, and spoke up," I have nothing to say, but I think you should look for a way to get closer to him and then maybe threaten him with something that will make him cooperate with the assignment, when you say he is a jerk what do you mean?

"He is cruel, rude, ill-mannered, and annoying, he treats people like they are worth nothing and I always feel like teaching him a lesson but I do control my temper, he is quite close to Min Jae though and that is one of the reasons I have been tolerating him, I would have kicked him so hard on his nose, I can't bear to miss out on the assignment that is why I have to come up with a great plan on how to lure him into cooperating with me" Kim Do-Hee let out.

"I told you what to do, threaten him with something important to him, and then watch as he becomes so serious with the assignment," he said and she snapped her fingers and said" Exactly, you have a point but the question is how am I gonna do that? she asked. Kim Tae Moo told her it's because she is hiding her identity that is probably the reason he treats her badly and ridicules her in school but she ignores the topic and acts like she never heard.

They kept conversing till Tae Moo kept silent as he stared at his phone perplexed, Do-Hee questioned what the problem was but he didn't talk she had to snatch the phone from him and read what he was looking at only to discover the suicide news in their mother's label," What!! She said out of shock, they were both devastated by the news because they fully knew it would destroy and tarnish their family business and reputation.

"Mother won't find this funny" Tae Moo let out

"Hell no" Do-Hee exclaimed.
