Love Maze 13

"What are you doing now?"
In an instant, the distance between Park Jimin and me grew wider. Through my blurry vision, I saw Kim Taehyung grabbing Park Jimin by the collar.
Before he could stop him, Kim Taehyung raised his fist at Park Jimin, and Park Jimin turned his head as if he didn't care what Kim Taehyung was doing and looked at the kids filming around him.
박지민
"Hey. I saw it."
"⋯⋯."
박지민
"Spreading rumors that have no basis in fact."
여주
"⋯⋯?"
What could it be? What's the next line?
I frowned, not knowing why, at the nuance of his embrace. It seemed I wasn't the only one who sensed this, as Kim Taehyung tightened his grip on Park Jimin's collar and pulled him closer.
김태형
“What are you talking about again, Park Jimin?”
박지민
"Let go. Don't throw ashes on rice that's already been cooked."
widely!
Park Jimin shook off Kim Taehyung and stood upright. Kim Taehyung's gaze was fixed on Park Jimin, but Park Jimin's gaze on the children around him was no different.
박지민
"Kim Yeo-ju, I'm dating you."
여주
"⋯⋯?"
김태형
"⋯⋯What?"
'What the hell is that?'
Every word Park Jimin utters is shocking. He speaks so bluntly, it's impossible to know what he's thinking.
박지민
"I don't know which kid spread that rumor. Don't just sit there and ignore him. Don't get involved with Hansung Group and start a fight."
"⋯⋯."
박지민
"You guys know very well that if you find out it's a rumor, you're screwed, right?"
bang!
I grabbed Park Jimin's wrist, pushed him through the crowd blocking his path, and shoved him into the auditorium. Park Jimin, whom I'd expected to resist, surprisingly obediently followed my lead. By the time I locked the auditorium door and turned around, he'd returned to his playful demeanor, a departure from earlier.
여주
"What are you?"
박지민
"huh?"
여주
"Who are you to say such things? Do you know me?"
박지민
"Oh-. I thought you were an obedient princess, but you know how to get angry too?"
여주
"jimin park!"
Park Jimin, giggling and covering her mouth, felt uneasy. An obedient princess? The things that had puzzled her for so long began to surface.
여주
"Kim Taehyung knows you, Kim Namjoon knows you. What on earth is your relationship with Hansung Group, you?"
박지민
"What exactly is your relationship with Hansung Group?"
여주
"⋯⋯."
박지민
"Ah, that's right. She was the precious youngest daughter of the Hansung Group."
여주
"What⋯⋯?"
'How do you know that?'
The words I couldn't bring myself to say were stuck in my throat. Only the teachers in charge of me knew I was the youngest daughter of the Hansung Group.
Even when there were social parties or important events, I always opted out. Now, everyone took it for granted, so it was only natural that other businessmen wouldn't know about it either.
박지민
"I didn't plan on getting it done this quickly either."
여주
"⋯⋯."
박지민
"I have to ask since this unexpected opportunity has come. If you announce that you're dating me, Hansung Group will be in trouble no matter what we do."
His eyes, gazing down arrogantly with his hands in his pockets, shone with a dazzling light. It was a sight I'd never seen before. I took a step back, feeling as if I'd be devoured in an instant if I blinked wrongly.
'Hansung Group is in trouble⋯⋯?'
Come to think of it, it made sense. I don't know which company Park Jimin is from, but if Kim Taehyung and Kim Namjoon know him, he's probably not just any big-time corporate employee.
Now that Park Jimin and I are dating, everyone's attention will be focused on me. Naturally, people will be interested in my background too...
여주
"You⋯⋯."
The repercussions were too great to introduce myself as the youngest daughter of Hansung Group, something I had kept hidden for so long, and the rumors about Seokjin Kim and the events that had occurred in the hallway earlier were too loud to just let it go quietly.
In a situation where neither of them can do anything, what can Hansung Group do? No, do they even think about protecting me?
여주
"⋯⋯You knew everything from the beginning?"
At the faint trembling voice, Park Jimin burst out laughing and the corners of his mouth dropped.
박지민
"of course."
여주
"⋯⋯."
박지민
"The only weakness of the tiger's den is the rabbit, so wouldn't it be foolish not to want it?"
Jimin's true identity was revealed much later than expected. It should have been revealed around episode 7...
Trying to befriend the female lead, who no one showed interest in from the beginning, and (when meeting Namjoon in the cafeteria) taking the female lead's plate before she even finished eating (=seemingly trying to be friendly, but inconsiderate)
...I thought you could guess it well enough... I was secretly nervous, but thankfully no one knew! 🤩
Haha ...
