Jimin slowly opened his eyes, while feeling his head a bit heavy. His eyelids felt so as well making him close them soon and just stay there, letting his ears absorb some information about his surroundings.

Nothing specific could be heard and somehow that made him more eager to open his eyes but even though he tried once again he failed to keep them open for long.

"It's okay Jimin. You are at home. I am here." Jin's voice reached him and soothe a bit his worry as his memories were left back on the set where he thought he still was at, till his cousin informed him.

"Did the filming finish? Why am I here? He asked as he stayed put, not even trying to move because he had understood by now that he wasn't in good condition to control his body.

" I am sorry. You must be feeling heavy right now. But by tomorrow you will be better. The filming was postponed for tomorrow too." Jin spoke as he approached him and left his hand place on his forehead, the cold cloth that he was trying to cool on the freezer till now.

" Postponed? Why?... Did I-? "Jimin halted his tongue as even though he couldn't remember a thing, a thought had already crossed his mind.

" No one figured it out. Don't worry. You fainted from overwork to them. "Jin reassured him as he knew well where his worry may be laying.

His condition was something that Jimin was very secretive of and to him, it was a very private thing. Only Jin knew about this psychological problem he had developed and no one else. It's been years that they had managed to keep it to themselves successfully and even though, despite the time and the efforts they had tried to correct or better it, the situation didn't seem to differ. No matter the time that had passed though, one thing sure remained the same when it comes to this subject and that was the fact that he didn't like talking about it, nor sharing that information for obvious reasons. The public judgment towards this might cost him as an individual and a figure as well as in his career which was so dear to him.

"What time is it? I need to go somewhere." Jin gave him a perplex gaze as he said so then laughed a bit as he found his statement absurd.

"Sorry to break it to you but you won't be going anywhere till tomorrow when the sleeping pills I gave you will totally wear off." Jin's tone showed how absolute he was on his words and Jimin left an exhale escape his lips heavily, before turning his head to the side and forcing himself to open up his eyes again so he could see him.

"Hyung, I am in trouble." He admitted and as his friend saw his soft gaze, he couldn't help but grow worried.

"It has to do with that SunHee doesn't it?" Jin asked as he could already sense that the only trouble he could have gotten into might have something to do with his current secret relationship.

"Someone saw us together and they are blackmailing her and also.." He paused his words as his eyes averted towards the ceiling before his eyelids close again.

"She is married." He uttered those words with difficulty as he could feel the bitterness floating his insides. 

It wasn't the first time he had gotten disappointed in love but this time he wasn't disappointed in the other person only but himself as well. He wasn't someone that would become an obstacle between a couple nor was someone whom would like to hurt anyone with his doings yet he seemed to have become both those things, without him even knowing that. Truth was that he was more than bother with SunHee that had lied to him however no matter how angry he was to get towards her or himself, nothing could undo his actions.

Now it was too late and all he wanted was to close this issue. It didn't matter the amount of money as long as this was to never surface. Not only because it would make him look bad in the public eye but also because he couldn't help but think of the feelings of her husband, whoever that man may be.

"Oh..well... I sure wasn't expecting to hear that." Jin admitted as he was a bit taken aback by the information at that moment despite the fact that he never really trusted that girl. 

"You are planning to pay, I assume."He added and Jimin stayed quiet for a bit before he responded with a nod of his head.

Jin was ready to speak again as he found that an unnecessary move and thought that they shouldn't result to giving in to the blackmail so easily but his thoughts didn't have the chance to be spoken because Jimin's phone that was on the table beside them, buzzed, gaining their attention.

He proceeded to grab it knowing that Jimin was in no condition to attend to it for the moment but he found it strange that the message that he had received was from a non identified number.

"Who is it?" He asked but Jin just proceeded to unlock his phone before letting him know that the number that texted him was not saved on his contact list.

"A video?" He questioned as he opened the chat and saw that a video had been sent to Jimin and then proceeded to press play while Jimin was still laying on the couch unable to see the screen and the footage that Jin was witnessing at that instant. A footage that had him stare with wide eyes at the screen.

"Em...Jimin?...I may have something to show you..but just quickly identify if this person is who I think it is and  go back to sleep." Jimin opened his eyes and gave a perplex look at his best friend who's words were surely weird at that moment however as he turned the screen around for him to see, Jimin's confusion got clarified.

"S-SunHee??" He uttered shocked as he was seeing her make out with another man, moment that made him feel his heart sink lower than it had already with all the information he had been receiving recently.

"Oh, so it is her. Great, She is officially one more bitch."Jin announced as he took the phone away from his sight and got up from the carpet where he had sat.

"Wait. Where are you going? What are you planning to do?" Jimin tried to get up as he could tell just by looking at his friend's expression that he was gonna end this matter as cruelly as he could for her.

"Give me 24 hours. I will close this case once and for all." Jin replied as he left the living room with determination visible in his eyes.

That was what he always does after all. He had studied hard and had worked as harder just to be someone that could back his cousin up in any way that he may need. He was an exceptional lawyer with great connections so for him, it was a matter of time to find out the truth and corner whoever was that was trying to benefit from his cousin. And he sure was unforgiving to whoever was to go against him for any reason, much more if it was someone that had also played with his heart as that woman had.
