"Yunho..."

This time, Minho turned around and did not look back. Relations.h.i.+ps were tiring and he was really in need of some rest.

Se-ra watched as Minho left, but she was in no position to hold him back. She was n.o.body to him. If she had to identify as something, it would merely be his ex-manager.

Minho entered the underground carpark on his own. As he walked in, he spotted Nam Jo ( was someone that rude to se-ra) and her manager, who he had just spoken to not too long ago.

"Yunho, do you have time to go get a drink?"

"I'm sorry Nam Jo noona, maybe another day?" Minho rejected.

"Aren't you afraid that I'd cause trouble for your ex-manager again?" Nam Jo gave a proud smile, "It's just one drink...I promise..."

Minho wasn't stupid. He obviously knew her intention.

She had already reached a certain age and her acting had remained at the same level, plus she was only ever chosen for supporting roles, so she was naturally getting very impatient.

After all, as an actor, if one did not have talent, then they could only rely on youth and good looks. If not, their only other option was to borrow the help of outside factors.

For example Minho...

Minho was a hot topic and often sat at the top of popularity rankings. Above all, he was the Fourth Master of Hwang Corps and the younger brother of Tiffany. As soon as one's name appeared alongside his, everyone's attention would immediately be drawn over. No wonder Nam Jo wanted to have her way with him.

She wanted to create hype!

Minho closed the car door and looked coldly at Nam Jo. His eyes were filled with an obvious hatred towards scheming.

"Fine, but I decide on the location!" Minho smiled.

Seeing Minho agree so swiftly, Nam Jo immediately nodded her head afraid that he'd change his mind, "OK."

"Get on board!" Minho opened the back door of his car like a gentleman so that Nam Jo and her manager could step inside.

Afterwards, a smile appeared on his face as he pulled out his phone and sent a message.

Nam Jo was about the same age as Taeyeon, but because she wanted to attract people's attention, she generally dressed more mature and elegant. But, this unfortunately made her look at least five years older than she really was.

Afterwards, the car began moving. As the car turned into unfamiliar roads, Nam Jo immediately asked, "Where are we going?"

"To a place you'd never expect."

Nam Jo thought Minho had developed some l.u.s.tful ideas and wanted to take her back to his home, so she felt her heart lighten with joy.

But before long, Minho had driven the car into Hyatt Regency; a high-cla.s.s estate that Nam Jo had never been to before.

"We're here, get out," Minho opened the car door in front of Tiffany and Taeyeon's love nest and gestured for the two women to get out.

"Is this...your home?" Nam Jo looked at the Spanish palace-styled villa in surprise.

"Go in and you'll know," Minho smiled and led the two women to the front door.

Of course, Minho had notified Tiffany in advance, so the door had been left open for him to open easily.

This confirmed the suspicions that Nam Jo had; she was certain that this was Minho's home. After all, not many people had ever stepped foot into Hyatt Regency. The security was so strict that even the most experienced paparazzi couldn't slip through without the surveillance cameras catching them.

However, after entering the villa, Nam Jo was left stunned at the doorway.

Because lying on the sofa was Tiffany with her head resting on the armrest. In her arms was a cus.h.i.+on to hide her stomach and on her body, she wore a white turtleneck sweater. With half her hair tied up, she emitted an ethereal beauty that made other's envious, yet unable to look away.

Nam Jo was obviously older than Tiffany by a few years...

But, in front of Tiffany, she couldn't help but feel self conscious.

The sense of inferiority emanated from the depths of her heart to her extremities...

"I heard Miss Nam wanted to invite my brother for a drink. Since it's a drink you want, why not have it here at my place?" Tiffany's voice​ was gentle and melodious. "Please sit. Make yourself at home."

However, in reality, who dared to treat this place as their own home?

One Tiffany was enough to make one tremble in fear, not to mention the fact that there was also a Taeyeon backing her.

"Errr...it's getting late. Let's postpone it to another day," Nam Jo's voice was involuntarily shaky. Perhaps, even she herself noticed how shameful she appeared.

"I go to bed late. Don't worry," Tiffany said slowly, deliberately torturing Nam Jo's terrified heart.

"I still think it's best if I go..." It was impossible for Nam Jo to not be frightened by Tiffany's presence. So, all she could do was try to escape frantically. However, just as she turned around, Tiffany suddenly held her back with her words,

"Nam Jo unnie, I don't like to quit a game halfway. Since it has already started, then we should play by the rules!" Tiffany stood up, no longer talking as gently as before. In fact, her voice was now mighty and powerful, "From now on, if you see Yunho, it's best if you go the other way. Otherwise, I will destroy you."

"If you want to take advantage of the situation to advance your career and get more exposure, look for someone else, I have no objections. But, don't you dare go near my brother."

"Otherwise, don't dream about getting famous in this life...or the next."

Nam Jo turned around and made a proper bowing gesture, "I understand..."

"Next time you want to invite my brother for a drink, you can come directly to Hyatt Regency...He is relatively busy, but I have plenty of free time," Tiffany raised an eyebrow. "Nam Jo, what do you think?"

Nam Jo was stunned for a moment before she obediently nodded her head. At this moment, apart from fear, there was no s.p.a.ce left in her heart for any other emotion.

Tiffany: the supermodel and actress.

This mysterious person had already drifted far away from her usual idea of a woman...

"I'll...do as you say."

Tiffany smiled in ridicule without another word. This time, all she wanted, was to wake Nam Jo up a little. She wanted her to know that in this world, one could not do bad things as they wished because there was always an oriole lurking somewhere.

As he watched the two women scurry off in fear, Minho stood to one side wanting to laugh, but too afraid to do so... Only after they left did he reveal a rare smile, "Noona, your presence is amazing. You can directly suppress others with it."

"So you brought them over without first consulting your brother-in-law?" Tiffany couldn't help but glare at him.

"Who told you to be quick, effective and ruthless?" Minho raised a thumb at Tiffany before sitting down on the sofa and continuing, "I watched 'W.H.' Noona, you were amazing."

"I don't think anyone in this world is more suited to being an actress than you. I also watched the other films that just got released, and to be honest, although the other female leads aren't bad, they aren't as impressive as you."

"Are you saying this because I'm your sister?" Tiffany subconsciously furrowed her brows.

"It's what I truly believe."

Tiffany hadn't watched the completed film yet, so she could not relate.

"You haven't watched it yet? After you watch it, you will be convinced by yourself."

Just as Minho was getting excited, Taeyeon walked out of the study room wearing a black turtleneck. His every step was steady and powerful like an almighty king.

"Don't you want your sister to get some rest? What time is it now?"

Minho was aware that Taeyeon had reached his limit, so he stood up from the sofa and waved his hand, "I'll get going now. Noona, sleep early and say hi to my nephew for me."

Tiffany watched as Minho rushed off and smiled helplessly as she clung onto Taeyeon's arm, "I know...I won't do it again...I couldn't ignore him and not help."

Taeyeon did not respond. His eyes lit up like diamonds. That brat kept coming to cause trouble every 2-3 days; it was time he did something about it.

['W.H.' exceeds $1 billion at the box office on its first day: reputation and popularity on the rise!]

['W.H.' breaks domestic record for the fastest film to make $1 billion]

['W.H.' receives extraordinary results: there is hope for domestic disaster films!]

_"After watching 'W.H.', I didn't feel frightened nor disappointed. Instead, I cried...I cried out of happiness. I couldn't believe that I'd come across such a serious director and such a talented team of actors in my lifetime. I must say that the creature in 'W.H.' performed better than some of the idol actors out there."

_"The storyline flows smoothly, the non-action scenes were well thought out, the action scenes were incredible and the special effects were subtle. On top of that, Kwon Yuri's acting is great and he is deserving of the t.i.tle, National Treasure Actor. Plus, Tiffany's expressions are amazingly explosive; I was shocked by her reactions quite a few times. She made me feel like I was there with her, it was amazing. From now on, I am going to watch every movie that Tiffany partic.i.p.ates in."

_"Although I'm not a fan of disaster movies because it makes me feel depressed, I must point out that Tiffany's​ acting beat all the current popular actors. This is the truth."

Online, most of the reviews for 'W.H.' were positive. This was because the film's entire crew poured their hearts into producing it and were sincere about creating a great film.

_"The selection stage for the FT Awards is about to start. I think, if Tiffany doesn't win it, then there's something wrong."

_"I agree with the commenter above. Although the other films are great, 'W.H.' truly shocked me. In the past, I had always thought that disaster films were made for idiots to watch. But, 'W.H.' has given me hope. It was a great film with great actors."

The longer that 'W.H.' remained in theatres, the better Tiffany's reputation and popularity became. She had used her own att.i.tude and professionalism to prove to everyone that she was an actress that could be trusted.

Of course, as a result of all the positive feedback for 'W.H.', Tiffany's fan count exceeded all the other award nominees and everyone started saying that Tiffany's odds for winning were the highest.

Late at night, Tiffany awoke from her sleep to find Taeyeon sitting on the edge of the bed looking deeply into her eyes.

"How come you didn't wake me up when you arrived home?"

"I couldn't bear to do it," Taeyeon carried Tiffany over to the walk-in closet. "Get changed, there's somewhere we need to go."

"Huh?"

Taeyeon did not explain. He simply wrapped her up tightly in some clothes and led her to the car.

Tiffany had no idea what Taeyeon had planned...until their car pulled up outside a theatre...

"What would we do if someone spots us?" Tiffany looked around nervously.

"I've already made arrangements. We will be the first ones to enter and the last ones to leave. No one will realise we are there," Taeyeon smiled before leading Tiffany into the VIP room. "Tonight, let's watch a film like a normal husband and wife. The film is called 'W.H.'. I'm sure Mrs Kim has heard of it..."

Tiffany froze as she suddenly felt warm inside. She knew how busy Taeyeon had been recently, yet he somehow managed to think of her first. He even remembered the fact that she hadn't watched 'W.H.' yet.

"I don't think I acted well enough."

"It doesn't count when you say it," Taeyeon helped her into her seat as other people began to enter. They originally thought there were only going to be a few other people, but, just before the film was to start, they were surprised to find that the theatre was full.

There was not a single empty seat!

In fact, Tiffany could even hear discussions from the first few rows, .

_"Haiz...I can't believe the theatre is full."

_"Of course. The movie has received amazing feedback. It would actually be weird if it wasn't full. This is my third time watching it. The first time, I went by myself; second time with family; now third time with friends."

_"Is it really that good?"

_"You will be shocked to tears..."

Hearing these words, Tiffany felt a sense of joy and pride, but also anxiety. She knew, from now on, these people would have higher expectations for her.

Not long after, the lights turned off and the film started projecting onto the screen...

In the 100+ minutes, even Tiffany found herself clenching her fists in suspense for the female lead. It was a weird sensation.

Taeyeon watched the reactions of his wife and was surprised to find that she had such an adorable side to her.

_"That was spectacular, much too spectacular!"

_"Wow, Tiffany has G.o.dly acting skills! I was so shocked that I got gooseb.u.mps all over my body."

As soon as the film finished screening, everyone couldn't help cheering. At this time, a theatre staff yelled out,

"Please don't leave yet, there is a hidden surprise in the credits."

Hearing this, everyone immediately sat back down and waited for the surprise. Eventually, Tiffany and Yuri reappeared on the screen; it was behind-the-scenes​ footage from their filming.

When filming beside the ocean, Tiffany barely got to dry herself. In fact, there were times when she had sand in her mouth.

When filming in the village, Tiffany was covered in blood the entire time. A few members of staff even vomited from the smell, yet Tiffany was the one to comfort them.

Seeing this footage, the fans could clearly see Tiffany's sincerity.

_"If Tiffany doesn't receive the FT Awards, it would be ridiculous!"

Taeyeon watched in seriousness from beginning to end. This was Tiffany's actual first time at being the main female lead.

Tiffany looked at Taeyeon nervously as a smile appeared on his face.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I want to know your thoughts," Tiffany replied, "Because you know best how to evaluate an actor."

"I feel honored that Mrs Kim thinks so highly of me," Taeyeon hooked his arm around Tiffany and rested his chin on her head. "To be honest, I don't need to say anything. Every single member of the audience has already expressed their thoughts and I am merely one of them."

"Fany ah...you've done really well and you will only get better. With your results from 'W.H.', you will definitely receive The FT Award for Best Newcomer!"

These weren't just comforting words from Taeyeon, they were the truth. In fact, Tiffany's abilities had exceeded Taeyeon's expectations...

Especially when she acted alongside Yuri. The interaction between the two made people feel suspense and excitement.

The Best Newcomer Award!

This was what all new actors dreamed of; Tiffany was no different. Otherwise, a hopeful look would not appear in her eyes.

However, just as her film was selling out rapidly, the media suddenly released an explosive piece of news. The Prince of Music, Yunho, was rumored to be dating Nam Jo, a no-name actress that was older than him by 10 years!

In fact, there were pictures of the two boarding a car together as evidence. The car was also captured to be entering Hyatt Regency; it seemed, they went in to seek Tiffany's approval.

"I guess this Nam Jo couldn't be trusted," Tiffany said with a ridiculing smile.

"It might not be her. She wouldn't dare," Taeyeon said as he looked into Tiffany's eyes. "She may have been used without knowing it."

"Let Minho handle it..."

This time, Tiffany had no intention to get involved.

But, the thing that surprised everyone the most was that Minho was expected to step out immediately and clarify the entire incident, but he didn't, even though he knew that plenty of his fans liked him for his youth and good looks and this rumor with an older woman would crush their hearts.

_"I hope Yunho will clarify everything soon."

_"Why is such an old woman bothering my Yunho?"

_"Yunho, are you blind? If this is true, I'm not going to be your fan anymore!"

_"Nam Jo is much too shameless. Is this old cow trying to feed on fresh gra.s.s?"

The websites of Yunho's fan club and other entertainment portals were filled with discussions. Thanks to his relations.h.i.+p with Tiffany, Minho was destined to float around the hottest headlines for the next few days.

So, when Chanyeol went to question him, he simply replied, "I originally planned to do one last fan concert anyway, my reputation doesn't matter anymore. We'll just let Nam Jo have her way..."

Chanyeol held his left elbow with his right hand and leaned against the floor-to-ceiling window, "This incident had nothing to do with Nam Jo. She was sold out by her manager. Otherwise, she wouldn't have waited so many days before releasing the photos. Her manager obviously did it for money."

"How are you feeling?"

"Huh?" Minho didn't quite understand Chanyeol's question.

"I'm referring to...her. Don't you care what she thinks?" Chanyeol hinted towards Se-ra.

Minho looked at Chanyeol with a stunned expression; he had not had the chance to think about this consequence yet. But, after a short moment, he calmed down and shook his head, "This is my own matter. It has nothing to do with her."

"Fine, do as you wish," Chanyeol sighed. "When you have some spare time, write a few songs. After all, the agency spent heaps of money to train you. You should make a contribution so your brother-in-law can be proud in front of others."

"Yes, I know."

After a short chat, Minho left Chanyeol's office. However, as he walked into the corridor, he saw Se-ra on the other end, standing anxiously against the barrier.

Minho pretended not to see her. Just as he was about to turn around and walk the other way, Se-ra turned around and saw him.

"Yunho..."

"What's the matter?" Minho asked calmly.

"Aren't you going to clarify the rumors that are going around? I don't believe that you would be dating Nam Jo."

"We are indeed together," Minho cut in. "Otherwise, with my ident.i.ty and Crown Empire's abilities, did you think she'd be able to expose something like this?"

"But, your concert is just around the corner..."

"Miss Bong, this has nothing to do with you," Minho heartlessly burst her bubble before turning to leave.

Se-ra was left standing all alone as she watched Minho walk away. Minho was right, this indeed had nothing to do with her.

But, things only got worse, because another piece of news was released soon after. This time, it was exposed that Nam Jo was pregnant - and the child belonged to Minho!

_"Oh G.o.d, if this is true then Yunho must be blind."

_"No matter what, I can't accept that Yunho is with an old and ugly woman."

Se-ra often looked through the news at home. Every time she came across an article that was negative towards Minho, she would delete it. But, this time, the news was much too aggressive; she couldn't handle it on her own.

Afterwards, Se-ra thought long and hard about everything that had happened recently. It seemed, from the moment that her and
