_"Oh my God..."

_"What happened?"

Luckily, they weren't too high up and Kwon Yuri was protecting Tiffany. So, as the two fell to the ground, Tiffany ended up lying on top of Kwon Yuri's chest.

But even so, Tiffany ended up fainting from the shock. As for Kwon Yuri's arm, it had been squashed so hard that his injury wasn't minor.

Taeyeon immediately helped the two sit up and said to everyone, "Take them to the hospital straight away!"

Everyone was in so much shock, they had completely forgotten about the existence of a hospital.

Taeyeon carefully lifted Tiffany into his car and ordered the director, "Find out why this incident happened. Investigate it properly!"

The director was terrified. Especially after seeing Taeyeon's angry expression, he was in such a panic that he frantically nodded his head, "OK, OK, understood."

As soon as the props assistant saw this, she immediately stood up and grabbed onto the director's arm, "Director, this has nothing to do with me. Before the wires were hooked up, we did a thorough check."

"You saw what happened though," the director pointed to Taeyeon's car as it drove away. "President Kim was here when the incident happened and the one that was injured was his wife as well as the national treasure actor. Hurry and investigate what happened."

"The person in charge of checking the wires was Yoon-ha, where is she now?" The props assistant immediately ran around the set to look for Yoon-ha. But she was nowhere to be seen, "What exactly happened?"

...

"According to sources, while filming 'Hidden Expert', Tiffany fell down during an action scene and is currently in a life threatening situation."

"An insider has revealed that Tiffany and a fellow actor fell from extreme heights. In order to protect Tiffany, this actor was seriously injured and died on the scene!"

"'Hidden Expert's' deadly incident: Tiffany ignored warnings and acted recklessly, causing an actor to be seriously injured and left with his life hanging by a thread."

...

Inside the hospital corridors, Taeyeon had just sent the two into the emergency room when Sooyoung ran over urgently with his phone, "President, news has already been leaked. In fact, it oddly feels like this was all preplanned. It's only been half an hour and the rumors are already defaming the madam."

"Stop the news from spreading and temporarily keep quiet about the incident," Taeyeon ordered as he stood outside the emergency room. "Immediately find professional investigators to investigate the truth."

"Yes," Sooyoung replied. A moment later, he received a phone call from Sunny asking him about Tiffany's condition.

"Rumors are spreading like wildfire, saying that Tiffany fell and was injured. What exactly happened?"

"Yes, it's true that she fell and was injured, but it's not as bad as the rumors say it is. Don't believe a word," Sooyoung reassured.

"What about Kwon Yuri? The rumors say he died from protecting Tiffany..."

"He's fine," Sooyoung's voice turned cold. "Just remain at home and stay out of the mess. If you want to help, use your contacts to find out who leaked this information and who started the rumors."

"OK, I will. But, if anything happens to Tiffany, immediately give me a call," Sunny was still a little worried.

The internet was already in an uproar and Tiffany had only been on set not too long.

_"Did you guys hear? Tiffany was injured in a fight scene and has been permanently disfigured."

_"That's not right, I heard she broke her arm and won't be able to appear on the runway or films ever again."

_"I also heard she's been disfigured. Oh, such a beautiful face! If she's really been disfigured, her life is over!"

_"Tiffany, hurry out and refute the rumors..."

_"Rumor has it that even President Kim has rushed over. It seems the incident is real."

_"Oh my God, no! This can't happen!"

The internet was in an uproar and amongst the discussions were a few people that called Tiffany bad luck and a jinx.

-(Jinx meaning a person that had bad luck or person bring bad luck to; cast an evil spell on.)

The previous news about Tiffany being a poison was immediately dug up and recirculated.

At this time, a fortune teller couldn't help but add to the rumors by claiming that Tiffany's face was the perfect example of someone with a short life filled with misfortune.

Above all, the lines on her palms showed that she would implicate her family and bring disaster to everyone around her.

Tiffany was quickly labeled a jinx!

This label was an obstacle in Tiffany's acting path.

Within the industry, this label was something investors avoided at all costs.

Although they said they didn't believe in superstition, when it truly came to working together, their expressions subconsciously changed.

It was clear to see the motive and vicious nature of whoever instigated the entire incident. They had definitely gone too far.

...

Along the peaceful corridor, people endlessly walked back and forth. Meanwhile, Taeyeon sat outside the emergency room, more anxious than he had ever been before.

Especially when he thought back on the moment that he saw Tiffany fall, Taeyeon felt like his entire world had fallen into darkness. Even his breathing and heartbeat felt like it had stopped.

Who did it...

Who the hell did it!

If he was to find out the culprit, he definitely wouldn't let them go.

A moment later, the doctor came out of the emergency room. As soon as he saw Taeyeon, he walked up to him, "The male patient suffered a slight fracture on his left arm, but it isn't too serious. As for the female patient, she has a few slight scratches on her body and a mild concussion. She will need to stay overnight for monitoring. We could consider this as good luck in the scheme of things. Tell her relatives not to worry."

"I noticed the patient is an actress. A small hospital like ours doesn't have the facilities for confidentiality. If you want the patient to get some peace, I would suggest you change hospitals."

"The male patient has already awoken. You can go in and look at him, but don't disturb him for too long."

"Thank you, doctor."

"You're welcome." After the doctor finished his briefing, he turned and left.

Meanwhile, Taeyeon immediately pushed open the door to see Tiffany. As soon as he saw her sleeping peacefully on the bed, his heart felt like it had been pricked by a thousand needles.

He wanted so badly to wrap her in his embrace and feel her warmth. He also wished that he was the one that had fallen instead of her.

"She's fine," Kwon Yuri said from next door. The two beds were separated by a curtain.

Taeyeon was still worried. Only when he held onto Tiffany's hands did he begin to calm down. He then pulled open the curtain and looked at Kwon Yuri.

"Thank you for today..." Taeyeon said to Kwon Yuri as he looked at Tiffany.

"If you want to thank me then send Tiffany's assistant to take care of me," Kwon Yuri said as he held onto his arm.

"I'll send her over tonight," Taeyeon sold her off without blinking an eye.

"Someone planned this. Have you already sent someone to investigate?" Kwon Yuri asked coldly. It was bad enough that they hurt him, how dare they also hurt his cousin-in-law!

Taeyeon's eyes darkened and his voice deepened, "Wait until I find out who did it. I will make them pay ten-fold for your fracture."

"If I get what I want, I may consider forgiving them. But, if things don't work out, I'll let you do whatever you want. Even ten-fold wouldn't be enough."

In other words, the culprit had given Kwon Yuri an opportunity with Sooyeon. Since she was scared of him, now that his arm was fractured, he couldn't possibly still be so frightening, right?

Taeyeon's eyebrows twitched a little but he did not say a word.

A while later, Sooyeon quietly stepped into the emergency room. As soon as she saw Taeyeon sitting by Tiffany's side, she asked, "President Kim...is Fany unnie OK?"

"Your Fany unnie has a mild concussion. But Kwon Yuri's injuries are worse. He doesn't have an assistant or manager, so you should thank him on behalf of Tiffany and take care of him until he recovers," Taeyeon said in seriousness. If he was going to sell her off, he was going to do it seriously.

Sooyeon still had the image of the incident from earlier today in her mind. From the moment that Kwon Yuri saved Tiffany, she no longer felt he was so scary.

"OK."

As Sooyeon agreed, she did not see the smile that appeared on Kwon Yuri's face from behind the curtain.

A while later, people from the cast and crew of 'Hidden Expert' arrived at the hospital, but they did not dare to enter the room. They simply asked about Tiffany's condition and waited anxiously outside.

Not long after, night hit.

Tiffany felt a little dizzy but she quickly opened her eyes. Seeing Taeyeon sleeping at the foot of her bed, she felt her throat constrict and voice get raspy.

However, just a simple move of her finger was enough to wake him up.

"How do you feel? Does it hurt anywhere?" Taeyeon asked anxiously. His eyes were red; it seemed he hadn't gotten much sleep and had stayed by her bed the entire time.

Tiffany shook her head and opened her mouth to speak, but Taeyeon already knew what she wanted to ask, "He's fine, he just has a slight fracture."

"I'm also fine," Tiffany said in a dull tone. "After such a huge incident, is everyone on set fine?"

"The crew are outside waiting for you to wake up." After replying, Taeyeon stood up to notify them, but Tiffany held onto his shirt and pulled him back.

"TaeTae..."

Taeyeon turned around and looked at Tiffany.

"Don't get angry at the wrong people. Find out the real culprit and make them pay."

"Before I find the truth, everyone is a suspect."

"Tiffany...President Kim," the director whispered from outside the door, "Are you awake?"

"Come in," Tiffany forced herself into a sitting position. She had just woken up, but she was already worried her man would blame the innocent and get angry at the wrong people even though she also believed the real culprit needed to be punished.

The director, producer and a few other important people, entered the hospital room. As soon as they saw the icy cold Taeyeon sitting beside the bed, they all began to tremble in fear, "Are you OK?"

Tiffany gave a slight smile and nodded her head.

"That's good. We are still investigating the truth behind the incident. I'm sure we will get a result very soon."

"As for filming..."

"I can return to work after 3 days," Tiffany quickly replied. Her injury wasn't too serious and she couldn't just give up on such a great production. Nor could they just replace her because they wanted to; they had to see if Taeyeon would allow it.

The director glanced at Taeyeon and quickly waved his hand, "You should get some rest. Even if you don't rest, Kwon Yuri needs time to recover. We will first film the scenes of the other supporting actors. This film was made with Kwon Yuri in mind, plus, it was originally meant to take 1 month to film in this location, but you guys are already well ahead of schedule."

"But..."

"But what?"

"It's just, the public have turned the situation into something not so pleasant to the ear. I hope President Kim can step out and help Tiffany refute the rumors..."

Someone had instigated this incident to hurt Tiffany, but accidentally implicated Kwon Yuri. All they needed to do was slightly hint it to the public and they'd be able to figure it out themselves.

"Yoon-ha, who was in charge of checking the wires, has disappeared. I'm sure we will know the truth once we find her."

Tiffany scanned her eyes across the people before her and asked Taeyeon, "What is the public saying about me?"

"That..."

"You guys may leave. My wife needs some rest," Taeyeon did not answer her question, nor did he let anyone else answer on his behalf.

"OK, you guys have a good rest, we will go first."

"Thank you, director."

The director waved his hand leisurely. As long as Taeyeon didn't hold them accountable, he was over the moon.

After they left, Tiffany looked at Taeyeon seriously and asked once again, "What is the public saying about me?"

"Don't worry about it..." Taeyeon said as he pressed down on her body.

Tiffany remained silent for a while before she suddenly grabbed onto Taeyeon's slightly trembling right hand, "Were you really worried?"

"I wanted so badly to be the one that had fallen instead of you," Taeyeon lowered his head and said in a low voice. It seemed he was trying his best to control his emotions.

"I'm not sure how many more times I can handle it. Don't ever get hurt again. Especially not in front of me..."

Tiffany did not say a word. She simply sat up straight and wrapped her arms around Taeyeon, pulling him into a tight hug.

"I'm sorry for making you worry."

The couple remained silent for a while before Taeyeon pushed Tiffany away and helped her lie down, "I'll go get you some food. You should be hungry by now."

"OK," Tiffany nodded her head.

Taeyeon gently brushed his hand across Tiffany's head and stood up to leave the room.

However, Tiffany knew he was actually standing outside the room calming his emotions; he simply didn't want her to see him in this state.

Previously, when she had suffered a fever or flu, Taeyeon had already been worried beyond belief. Let alone this time, he had personally seen her fall from so high up.

She had promised him that she'd take good care of herself. Because as expected, when she got hurt, the person to hurt the most was not herself, but Taeyeon.

Tiffany turned and grabbed the phone sitting on her bedside table. As she turned it on, she noticed she had quite a few missed calls from Shin hye and Sunny. It seemed, whatever the rumors were, they were quite serious. Otherwise, these two women wouldn't both call her at the same time.

Tiffany zoned out for a little while before she decided to return Shin hye's phone call. On the other end of the phone, Shin hye practically picked up instantly.

"What happened? Rumors are going around that either you're dead or Kwon Yuri is dead."

"I just got a small injury. Yuri is also fine."

"That's good to hear," Shin hye breathed a sigh of relief. Afterwards, she said to Tiffany in a serious voice, "Did someone plan this behind your back? The public are spreading ridiculous rumors about you and calling you 'The Jinx of the Entertainment Industry'. Even a fortune teller has stepped out to defame you."

"I'm truly unsure this time," Tiffany thought about the incident carefully. The production crew were in charge of the stunt, but who could have instigated everything. She had no clue.

Could it be? A twinkle of suspicion suddenly appeared in Tiffany's eyes.

Not long after, Taeyeon returned to the room with some simple food that he prepared. Tiffany lifted her head, "I want to go visit Yuri..."

"No need," Taeyeon sat on the edge of Tiffany's bed and helped her sit up. He then carefully fed her the food.

Seeing the questioning look on her face, he explained, "Sooyeon is taking care of him."

"Plus... I've given Sooyeon to him as compensation. You don't need to feel guilty."

"Are you saying..."

"Yes, he likes Sooyeon. Although I don't know how he got to know about her...he's not the type to act impulsively. He usually can't be bothered dealing with people, he won't even pretend that he likes them," Taeyeon explained gently. He then looked at Tiffany with seriousness, "Yuri is actually my cousin. He's older than me by a few days..."

"Cousin? Is that why he wasn't picky towards me?" Tiffany suddenly understood why Yuri had agreed to work with a newcomer like herself. It turned out...

"No. If he really didn't want to, no one could have forced him."

"No wonder I saw similarities between the two of you," Tiffany smiled as she obediently ate a mouthful of congee.

She then patted the spot beside her and said to Taeyeon, "Come, sleep next to me. It's been a long time since I hugged you to sleep."

Taeyeon took the opportunity to lay on the bed and allowed her to bury herself in his arms, "Like this?"

Tiffany closed her eyes and nodded, "I have a suspect in mind, but I need proof."

"I will find someone to investigate."

Hearing Taeyeon's words, Tiffany suddenly started giggling, "TaeTae...did you know? You always seem to know what I'm thinking so I never need to say much."

"That's because I listen to you with my heart," Taeyeon planted a kiss on her head.

"If you hadn't married me, perhaps you wouldn't be cramped up in this small hospital inside this tiny room."

"But, you have no idea how fortunate I am, that the person I married was you."

...

'Hidden Expert' wasn't produced by Crown Empire, so Taeyeon had no control over any changes to take place.

Fueled by the rumors, the director eventually received a phone call from the producer, "I've thought about it. In order to avoid any more incidences from happening, I think it's best we replace Tiffany. I've already found the right candidate. I'll send her over tomorrow."

"But, i don't think it's right for us to replace Tiffany without prior notification," the director was put in a difficult position.

"In this industry, I'm sure you know better than I do, what we are most afraid of. Right now, everyone is already saying that Tiffany is a jinx. Even if it was deliberately planned by someone, she has indeed caused a misfortune for our film. It wasn't easy for us to get Kwon Yuri. Even if we don't use Tiffany, I'm sure the film will still be a hit!"

"But, what about President Kim? I don't know how to explain this to him," the director felt a little helpless. In reality, he actually felt that no one would be able to pull off the troublemaker as well as Tiffany.

"I'll speak to President Kim. You don't need to worry about anything, just focus on filming."

"Errr... OK then," the director had no choice but to admit defeat. When it came to making decisions, the one with the money always called the shots.

So, later that night,
