Chap166-Ex-lovers

With her keen women's intuition, Roseanne felt that Kwon Jisoo most likely had a history with Kim Seokjin.

Are they kinds of ex-lovers?

Park Jimin spoke up, coldly and indifferently, "What were you thinking? Bringing her here?"

"I've previously interacted with Jisoo in America; we're old friends. It's my birthday, and she wanted to give me a cake. Although I understand that she didn't come with only the intention to celebrate my birthday, I couldn't possibly reject her." Kim Taehyung blew out a mouthful of smoke, chuckling coldly. "She's the one who refuses to give up. She's even more familiar with Brother Kim's temper than us. She should have known the consequences she would face when she came today."

Taehyung glanced at Jisoo who stood there silently. "You were the one who provoked him back then. You were also the one who left without looking back. Now that you're back, you insist on coming even though you know the attitude he will hold. Now, you've seen it? He won't even offer you a single glance."

Jisoo did not speak. When Roseanne held her hand in concern, she only curved her lips slightly. Her eyes were hidden by the shadows in the private room, concealing her emotions.

Outside the private room, the sounds of loud shouting gradually approached. It also seemed to be accompanied by the wails and screams of a woman. There were also some footsteps approaching...

Kim Seokjin had just stepped out of the private room. He did not stop when he heard the noise of the people gathering and the crying sounds. However, as that crowd passed by him, he abruptly heard the sound of the woman in the middle being slapped. Several men then shouted rowdily at her. He turned expressionlessly toward the crowd to take a look.

He abruptly caught an eye of the disheveled woman lying on the ground. His eyes instinctively narrowed as he pushed aside the people blocking him.

The movements outside were loud. Several people from various private rooms came out to look. When Jisoo pushed open the private room's door to follow him, she discovered Kim Seokjin standing afar.

Roseanne noticed the crowd and subconsciously approached with Jisoo.

Regardless of how strictly Zhouk Club was regulated, this place was still part of the night scene. It was not safe for two women to head out alone.

Park Jimin stood up to head over, and Kim Taehyung extinguished his cigarette, raising his eyes as he went to check on the situation.

Within the crowd, a young woman was laying on the floor. She had just been slapped twice. Her clothing was somewhat messy, revealing half her shoulders as though she was almost forced upon earlier. Her hair was also abnormally messy, blocking half her face. However, it still showed her frightened pale expression, and her eyes reddened with tears.

As Jisoo entered the crowd, she noticed the woman lying on the ground, and her initially calm expression changed slightly. She subconsciously raised her eyes to look toward Kim Seokjin who stood not far away with a cold, composed expression.

Roseanne paused in her footsteps. When Park Jimin approached, she turned back and moved close to him to ask, "What on earth happened tonight? I don't quite understand."

Jimin had already seen the situation in the crowd. He gripped her hand and did not allow her to continue approaching, calmly saying, "It's Kim Seokjin's own issues. You don't need to bother about it."

"..."

Which woman did not have a burning passion for gossip, ah?

Roseanne could only turn back for a look.

Kim Taehyung stood by the side, crossing his arms over his chest as he coldly and softly said, "What a surprising coincidence. Both of brother Seokjin's ex-lovers are here today."

Ex-lover?

Two of them?

Roseanne glanced suspiciously toward Jisoo who stood in front, before shifting her gaze to the disheveled young woman laying on the floor while being surrounded by the crowd.

Roseanne's gossiping eyes then shifted toward Kim Taehyung.

Taehyung sneered coldly. "If we were to talk about the only person brother Seokjin has ever loved, there is only one Kwon Jisoo. But it's not clear if there's still love, There's definitely hate."

Taehyung's gaze coldly moved to the woman lying on the floor. "This is Bae Irene. Around four or five years ago, she was engaged to brother Seokjin. The engagement contract was arranged by the Kim family but was rejected by him. It was dissolved a long time ago. This Bae Irene has always been infatuated with Brother Seokjin. She was young and accomplished in causing chaos. After being rejected, she could be described as, 'First, cry. Second, cause a disturbance. Third, attempt to suicide.' But Brother Seokjin never gave her a second glance. Since then, the relationship between the Bae and Kim family gradually worsened, and they never interacted again."

When Kim Taehyung spoke, Jisoo stood right by the side and could hear most of what he said. However, she did not move and continued fixing her eyes in Kim Seokjin's direction.

Taehyung appeared to be enjoying the chaos. "Miss Lin, regardless of how little attention you pay to outside matters, you should at least be aware of this. Early this year, South Korea's largest electronic corporation, Bae Electronics Group, announced their bankruptcy and closed down. Several board members from Bae Group made serious mistakes and caused their business to collapse. Not only did they go bankrupt and close, they even gained a lot of debt. No one knows how this Bae Irene came to be sold here, but looking at this situation, those by the side must be the people who bought her. She must have just escaped."

Roseanne's hands suddenly turned cold.

She once had such an experience as well. She knew better than anyone how frightening and helpless it was. The world was such a materialistic place. A large corporation had countless eyes watching it, but the moment it collapsed, no one would expect a helping hand to appear. They could only pray that no one would worsen things for them.

Noticing that Roseanne was suddenly quiet, Park Jimin glare at Taehyung by the side and held Roseanne's hand. "This is unrelated to you. Don't think too much."

Bae Irene was forced backward by those men. She laid on the ground, carefully and continuously shifting back. Her eyes were filled with fear and despair. Roseanne felt like she was seeing a vision of herself in her previous life.

Park Jimin's gaze was fixed on her face the whole time. Noticing that she was gradually turning pale, he asked softly, "Not feeling well?"

Roseanne composed herself. "Maybe it's because there are too many people here. It's slightly stuffy. I'm fine."

"Don't look anymore. Let's go back." Jimin gripped her hand to bring her away.

At that moment, Bae Irene, who was on the ground, suddenly let out a frightened and pained shout. One of the men had hauled her back by several feet and then pressed her leg under his feet.

Roseanne turned back to see that drunk and fierce man cursing. "Disgusting whore, acting like a chaste woman after taking my money? Spending eighty-thousand dollar on your first night was already giving your Bae family some face. Otherwise, just based on you alone, no one would want your first night even if it's only for eight thousand dollars! Since you've already been sold and your clothes have already been changed, why are you still acting?"

Bae Irene laid on the ground, crying and shaking her head nonstop. "I'm not for sale... I'm not the person who received the money... please let go of me... I beg you... ah!"

The last shout was because the man harshly stepped on her calf with force once more.

"No matter who received the money, the person who was sold is you!" The man abruptly hauled the disheveled woman up, ripping off her clothing. No matter how she shouted or struggled, it was useless. Her hand was gripped tightly, and she appeared an extremely sorry figure.
