The Tabels Have Turned
Continuing where we left off.
And thus began the fall of a supermodel… Yet, from the looks of it, Taehyung’s story was far from over.
Kim Taehyung
In all honesty, Taehyung had never considered himself brave….yet he had married a stranger. But what was done was done, and he would never regret his decision.
Taehyung returned to his car. Just as he was about to start the engine and drive home, his phone buzzed with a call from Han Mingyu.
Han Mingyu
"Taehyung...where are you right now?"
Kim Taehyung
“ In front of the Civil Affairs Office, about to head home, ” Taehyung replied casually, masking his emotions.
Han Mingyu
“Ji-Yeon has a very important show… I need you to substitute for her immediately. I’ll tell the makeup artist to provide a mask no one will be able to tell it’s you,” Han Mingyu ordered, his tone sharp and commanding.
Han Mingyu
“Since Ji-Yeon is injured, you’ll have to endure a little discomfort…”
Kim Taehyung
“Didn’t you say Miss Lim got hurt on stage? If that’s the case, the media should already know she’s at the hospital…”
Han Mingyu
“But I’ve already had someone let it slip that she’ll still be attending despite her injuries. I told you to go so go!”
He was shameless. In the past, Taehyung had already done foolish things like this for Lim Ji-Yeon.
Kim Taehyung
💭 It seemed he was being used. But he wasn’t going to let it continue.
Kim Taehyung
“Okay, let me know the time and address. I’ll head over there now.” Taehyung said calmly.
Han Mingyu
"Tae, we are about to get married. Help give Ji-Yeon a bit of a boost, her career is currently on the rise."
Kim Taehyung
"I’ll give her a boost for sure..." Taehyung responded with a hidden meaning.
Han Mingyu
"I’ll hang up then. Let’s have dinner later."
Han Mingyu had no idea the tables had turned. Presumably, he would now be sitting by Lim Ji-Yeon’s bedside, watching over his lover tenderly…
Taehyung hung up the phone before calling his manager. His manager immediately responded, his voice sharp with anger.
Park Jimin (Taehyung Manager)
“President Han wants you to step in for that B-grade model? Is he joking? If you hadn’t decided to retreat from the spotlight, she wouldn’t even survive in the industry.”
Kim Taehyung
“Jimin, I’ve already agreed,” Taehyung replied calmly.
Park Jimin (Taehyung Manager)
“Do you really have to go?” His manager could barely contain his disbelief.
Taehyung and Lim Ji-Yeon were both models signed under Tianyi Entertainment, but because of Taehyung’s decision to step back, his manager had been dragged down with him and faced ridicule.
Taehyung knew his manager wanted to defend him.
Kim Taehyung
He replied reassuringly, “I won’t be that stupid anymore. I won’t let them use me!”
Park Jimin (Taehyung Manager)
After hearing those words from Taehyung, his manager’s face lit up. “So, are you saying you have a plan?”
Kim Taehyung
“Park Jimin, from now on, I can only trust you. Can you help me with something?”
Park Jimin (Taehyung Manager)
"Speak." His manager was loyal to him. After all, they shared the same objective.
Kim Taehyung
“Lim Ji-Yeon is so desperate to convince the media that she’ll attend the show despite her injuries, because she doesn’t want it to affect her eligibility for the *Top Ten Model Awards.* I need you to help me pay a visit to Seoul International Hospital.”
Park Jimin (Taehyung Manager)
“I see what you’re getting at. Get evidence that she was still at the hospital during the show, and make it public!” the manager said, smiling with excitement.
Kim Taehyung
“No, I have bigger news. She’s pregnant and the child is Han Mingyu’s.”
Kim Taehyung
“Also, help me prepare a statement claiming that Han Mingyu has repeatedly used me as a substitute for Lim Ji-Yeon during her shows. As for which shows, I’ll need your help gathering the evidence.”
The manager was initially surprised, but quickly understood why Taehyung’s attitude had changed.
Such a shameless, cheating couple! Not only had they been unfaithful, but they had also used Taehyung ordering him around like a puppet.
Park Jimin (Taehyung Manager)
"Don’t worry Taehyung, I’ll help you with all of this.”
Taehyung didn’t respond. He felt an unusual calm settle over him.
Kim Taehyung
Now, he was going to treat them exactly as they had treated him.
After clearing his thoughts, Taehyung quickly gathered his belongings and drove to the venue to meet Lim Ji-Yeon’s assistant.
He was a married man with a strong bulky physique and a cunning personality.
He was reasonably polite to Taehyung. Even though he was no longer famous, the Kim family was still not to be underestimated
Ko Sang ho ( Lim Ji-Yeon Assistant)
“What took you so long? Quick… come get your makeup done.”
Kim Taehyung
“What kind of show is it today?” Taehyung asked as he was hurried down the hallway.
Ko Sang ho ( Lim Ji-Yeon Assistant)
“Nothing special!” the assistant replied.
In fact, it was actually a jewelry show for the famous French luxury brand, Cartier.
After this show, Lim Ji-Yeon would have the chance to sign on as Cartier’s spokesperson.
Originally, she would have lost the opportunity due to her injuries, but with Han Mingyu’s suggestion to use Taehyung as a substitute, Lim Ji-Yeon had no objections.
Kim Taehyung
In fact, on his way to the show, Taehyung had already researched today’s event: The Panthère de Cartier collection.
Kim Taehyung
💭 Lim Ji-Yeon’s assistant had deliberately lied to him. Had he always been this easy to fool?
Ko Sang ho ( Lim Ji-Yeon Assistant)
“Thanks to Ji-Yeon’s current status, you have your own makeup room. You’ll appear in the grand finale, and this is the piece of jewelry you’ll be presenting today. Here’s the schedule…”
The assistant explained, pointing to the jewelry on the stage. He then instructed the makeup artist to begin applying Taehyung’s makeup.
Kim Taehyung
💭 Did Kim Mingyu really think that giving him a mask would make people unable to recognize him?
Although what he had in mind was quite extreme, he was going to give the cheating couple a surprise of a lifetime.
