Episode 7: The Breaking Point

Episode 7: The Breaking Point

---

Scene: The Min Mansion – Morning.

Jimin sat in the garden, her hands resting on her lap as she watched the sun rise. It was her safe space, a moment of peace before the day’s chaos. But today, even the vibrant flowers couldn’t ease her troubled heart.

Yoongi approached quietly, his usual confident footsteps hesitant.

Yoongi: (softly) "You’re up early."

Jimin didn’t turn to look at him.

Jimin: "I needed some air."

He sat down on the bench beside her, keeping a respectful distance.

Yoongi: "About last night…"

Jimin: (cutting him off) "Don’t."

Yoongi’s brows furrowed, guilt evident in his eyes.

Yoongi: "I meant what I said."

Jimin finally turned to face him, her gaze sharp.

Jimin: "And I meant what I said, Yoongi. Words aren’t enough anymore."

Her voice was steady, but the pain lingered. Yoongi opened his mouth to respond, but his phone rang, breaking the moment.

Yoongi: (answering) "What is it?"

The voice on the other end was frantic, and his expression darkened.

Yoongi: "I’ll be there in ten minutes."

He ended the call, standing abruptly.

Yoongi: "I have to go. We’ll talk later."

Jimin nodded, not expecting anything less.

Scene: Yoongi’s Office.

Yoongi stormed into the room, where his assistant was waiting with a file.

Assistant: "Sir, it’s about the charity fund. Someone has been siphoning money, and the transactions point to… Miss Liza."

Yoongi’s jaw clenched as he flipped through the documents.

Yoongi: (coldly) "She’s bold, I’ll give her that."

Assistant: "Should we involve the authorities?"

Yoongi hesitated, his mind racing.

Yoongi: "Not yet. I’ll handle this myself."

Scene: Liza’s Penthouse.

Liza was lounging on her couch when Yoongi barged in, his anger palpable.

Liza: (smirking) "Yoongi, to what do I owe this pleasure?"

He threw the file onto the table in front of her.

Yoongi: "Stop playing games, Liza. I know everything."

Liza’s smirk faltered as she glanced at the documents.

Liza: "So you found out. Took you long enough."

Yoongi’s eyes narrowed.

Yoongi: "You stole from the charity Jimin worked so hard to build. And you tried to frame her for it."

Liza stood, her tone turning icy.

Liza: "Why do you care, Yoongi? She’s just a pawn in this game. You and I—we’re the same. We don’t need people like her dragging us down."

Yoongi stepped closer, his voice low and dangerous.

Yoongi: "The only mistake I made was trusting you. You’re done, Liza. Stay out of my life."

As he turned to leave, Liza called after him, desperation creeping into her voice.

Liza: "You’ll come back, Yoongi. You always do."

He didn’t respond, slamming the door behind him.

Scene: The Shelter.

Jimin was helping a young girl with her reading when Yoongi arrived unexpectedly. The children greeted him with excitement, but Jimin remained guarded.

Jimin: "What are you doing here?"

Yoongi hesitated before stepping closer.

Yoongi: "I wanted to see what you’ve built here."

Jimin raised an eyebrow, folding her arms.

Jimin: "And why would that matter to you now?"

Yoongi looked around, the laughter of the children echoing in the background.

Yoongi: "Because I realize now how much I’ve underestimated you. This place, these kids—they’re a reflection of who you are."

Jimin sighed, brushing past him to gather supplies.

Jimin: "You can’t just show up and expect things to change, Yoongi. Life doesn’t work that way."

Yoongi reached for her hand, stopping her.

Yoongi: (softly) "I know I’ve hurt you, Jimin. And I know it’ll take time to fix this. But I want to try."

She pulled her hand away, her voice trembling.

Jimin: "You’ve already broken me, Yoongi. I don’t know if there’s anything left to fix."

Scene: The Min Mansion – Evening.

Jimin returned home late, exhausted from the day. She entered the living room to find Yoongi sitting in the dark, a drink in his hand.

Jimin: (tiredly) "Are you just going to sit there all night?"

Yoongi looked up, his expression unreadable.

Yoongi: "I thought about what you said. About words not being enough."

He stood, placing his glass on the table.

Yoongi: "I’ve started the process to clear your name. And I’ve cut all ties with Liza."

Jimin’s eyes widened, surprise flickering across her face.

Jimin: "Why would you do that?"

Yoongi stepped closer, his voice steady.

Yoongi: "Because you deserve better. And because… I want to be better."

Her heart ached at his sincerity, but the walls she had built were still strong.

Jimin: "It’s not that simple, Yoongi."

Yoongi: (softly) "I know. But I’m not giving up."

Scene: Liza’s Revenge – Late Night.

Liza sat in her car, parked near the Min Mansion. Her grip on the steering wheel was tight, her knuckles white.

Liza: (to herself) "If I can’t have him, no one can."

She picked up her phone, dialing a number.

Liza: "I need you to do something for me. It’s time to teach them a lesson."

Her eyes gleamed with malice as she ended the call.

Scene: Jimin’s Room – Midnight.

Jimin lay in bed, staring at the ceiling. Her mind replayed Yoongi’s words from earlier. A part of her wanted to believe him, to hope that he had changed.

But the wounds were still fresh, and trust was a fragile thing.

A loud crash outside her window startled her, and she rushed to the balcony. Flames lit up the night sky—someone had set fire to the garden.

Jimin: (panicking) "Yoongi!"

Yoongi burst into her room, his eyes wide.

Yoongi: "What’s going on?"

She pointed to the flames, her voice trembling.

Jimin: "Someone’s trying to destroy everything."

Yoongi wrapped his arms around her, his voice firm.

Yoongi: "Not on my watch."

As the fire raged below, Jimin clung to him, fear and uncertainty gripping her heart.
