DongMin returned to the car after the small and quick stop he did at a pharmacy and threw you the bag as Jimin was still laying in his seat in visible pain.

"Spray him with that. It will make the area feel numb for some hours." He explained before turning around and quickly taking off, having the time ticking on him.

"What? Are you sure this is good enough? He seems in too much pain. Let's go to the hospi-"

"We don't have time for such, I have a shooting to do." Jimin cut your words off as he without a second thought, proceeded to take off his shirt.

"You are all crazy in this industry or is it just you?" You yelled a bit but rushed to take the spray out of the bag either way and then look at him again, only to realize that his body had bruises quite a lot.

"This sure looks painful." You murmured and he just gave you a glare before snatching from you the spray and making an attempt to spray it over his skin as well as he could but as soon as the fresh liquid came in contact with his skin, he couldn't help but leave a scream that made his movements halt.

"Oh, God! Okay okay, I will do it." You took the spray from his hold, thinking that if it hurt that much it would be better for someone else to do it since the other person could not feel his pain and as such, they would not hesitate to go through it.

"Wait! That-AHH~!"You ignored his protest and lifted his hand up, spraying all the area of his ribs without mercy, thing that made Jimin literally close his eyes tight and bite on his lip, in an attempt to not burst into yells at that moment.

"The heck is this medicine?!"He ended up shouting nonetheless after you were done, glaring at Dongmin through the rearview mirror and he just explained that it was strong cause it takes effect quickly and it hurts when applying but in a few minutes he won't feel a thing. Words that at that moment sounded like a lie to Jimin's ears who was seriously ready to take heads out of anger or to just have someone else feel his pain as well.

"Aish, I am gonna murder these girls that got me in that room. It's their fault I had to jump from a window and become like this. You better text Jin and tell him to have no mercy, you hear me!" He hugged himself as he spoke in irritation and you stayed there quiet, not knowing how to take this anger of his even though you understood that it was the pain talking more than the fact that he was actually angry at someone.

Despite the fact that you were aware though, you still couldn't help but think of this moment in a different light that DongMin may be thinking of because you knew a bit more than he, and that was why this outburst left you insecure and alert in case Jimin was to change in any way and you would not be able to pick up to that personality change right away.

He fell quiet after that and you just kept observing him subtly till some minutes ticked away and he seemed to be a bit better, his facial features no longer morphing in painful expressions. Jimin proceeded to leave some exhales after and put back on his shirt, only to turn and face you after he was done, with a gaze that left you perplexed.

"Did the medicine start taking effect?" DongMin's voice broke your eye contact and Jimin replied with a quick yes, referring to the medicine that truly seemed to have brought some relief to him, even if it was momentary.

"Great, we are almost there, prepare yourself," DongMin added and Jimin proceeded to fix his hair a bit and the collar of his shirt.

"Well since we are going despite the situation, can we specify about our plan over that actor? I mean, it's not like you are willing to cancel your visit, right?"You asked him, deliberately using words that remained vague about where you were going and for what purpose. The reason you asked was that you wanted to know if he was aware because as far as Jin had told you when he changes, he contains no memories of his current self and when he returns to himself has no recollection of his actions also and that means that identifying him wouldn't be hard if only someone pushed him to speak on specific information.

"All we have to do is find you a way to get to Jungkook's filming set. I guess we could bribe some worker to pretend to mistake you as one of their staff members despite the fact that you won't have a budge similar to theirs." Jimin replied and your mind got filled with ease since he mentioned names and specific stuff you had talked about before with him, meaning he was still himself.

"No worries about that. I guess I can get myself in. I just remembered I have someone I know that works here." 

"Are you sure?" He questioned and you nodded reassuringly, then proceeded to get your phone and text the person you were thinking off.

Upon arriving at 'Grand' Hotel, you split up from Jimin and DongMin as you had decided to pay a quick visit to that friend that works there and ask her for a favor. The said man had once worked with you as a part-timer on the hotel you are still working on and because of that you were not only accounted with him but also knew a secret of his that can come at handy if he was to find your request tonight, too much to be done.

Of course, you were not planning to use that card, unless necessary. You waited for him at the lobby as he had texted you to do and once he arrived, he looked happy to see you again, so you matched that energy, leaving aside the fact that you didn't really come out of your way to meet him or thought of his existence in general.

"Sai, how have you been?" You asked him, now sincerely a bit curious of his well-being as he was never a bad guy towards you and the fact that you were not close friends or kept in touch was mostly because your focus in life was only one and you threw all your time and efforts only in that area, ending up leaving behind basic socializing.

"I have been good, I seriously can't believe you came to see me. I am very happy to see you Y/N!" The guy was smiling from ear to ear, representing his words fully, beaming with happiness as if he was meeting some kind of celebrity and not just you.

"As bubbly as I remember, I see. I always envied that trade of yours."You admitted as surely being able to smile like that and get excited at the level he did over the smallest things, was something you couldn't relate to.

"You have nothing to be envious of me, You are great yourself." Sai complimented and you laughed a bit before leaving your face to fall serious and step a bit closer to him. A behavior that got him visibly nervous and scared, that you might have not taken his compliment well.

"Sorry, to be like this but I am in a hurry and I actually didn't come by to see you. I have some business here and I need your help. I promise if you help me, I will tell you who played you back then and got you fired." You made your proposal swiftly, looking him straight in the eyes as you knew that back then he was more than pissed and frustrated over the fact that he had lost his job and even more agitated by the reason that he could not tell who had trapped him like that.

Sai was working as a bartender at the bar of the hotel as a part-timer back then and one day, some customers had complained after taking drinks that he had made for them. The management was involved and even a medical team, only to find illegal substances in the drinks they consumed and have Sai along with the hotel management, running at a police station to close the issue. The Head manager ended up bribing the customers so they wouldn't sue the hotel and Sai ended up fired and shamed.

"You sure know how to get someone's interest. I will do anything you ask of me." His facial expression fell serious as he replied, letting you know that surely he was not over that unfairness that was done to him and you just thanked him in advance, before proceeded to let him know, of what you were in need of.
