Runaway Rich Guys Love Endeavour

Ye-Jin faintly heard that her name with Aera was mentioned by the gossiping girls. Curious and alert she stealthily moved closer to the girls and strained her ears to hear more clearly of what the girls were discussing.

She didn't have any good feeling about the gossip after what she experienced in the restroom a few hours ago. Lucky for her from where she was, it was possible for her to hear what the girls were so engrossed about.

Girl1: (looking around) we aren't supposed to speak about these things here-

Girl2: (waving her off) who cares? besides who's going to hear us anyway?

Girl1: but still-

Girl2: nobody is going to sue you for just talking alright?

Girl1: (nodding) that's right but it's still not appropriate-

Girl2: (annoyed) ok fine! If you don't want the details then leave it!

The girl huffed and about to walk away in anger but the first girl changed her mind and relented. How can anyone stay away, when the gossip was so juicy? Moreover, it involved the girls they were somewhat familiar with. Their lives seriously couldn't be lived if not for these little insider pieces of information on a daily basis. Without them, they might suffer health complications like depression and it's relatives.

Girl1: fine, don't be angry now. I too want to know the details but I just felt that the setting wasn't right.

Girl2: (scoffing) they're all busy and no one is paying any attention to us either way.

Girl1: so senior Ray brought his girlfriend to the company today?

Girl2: (with a serious and honest face) yes exactly.

Girl1: (slightly amazed) but how's that possible? Isn't he gay?

Girl2: (rolling her eyes) that was only a rumour created by jealous and petty people. You can't believe in rumours easily but this time around the information is pretty 'solid!' (is this what irony is?)

The girl stressed more on the word 'solid' as if to ascertain whatever she had heard was straight from the mouth of the gods and not just a mere rumour created by the same jealous and petty people she mentioned before.

Ye-Jin only rolled her eyes hard at their twisted and holed out logic. Still, without making a noise she continued to listen.

Girl1: so what changed?

Girl2: apparently Ray's girlfriend is none other than the friend who used to come to visit with senior Aera.

Girl1: (astonished) Whoa! But wasn't there news that senior Ray was actually pursuing senior Aera a few months ago.

Girl2: (nodding with bright eyes) well, that is the twist. From what I heard the friend was the third party in this relationship. Both seniors were actually in a loving relationship but this friend of hers was an opportunist and she seduced senior Ray to leave senior Aera-

Girl1: (scandalised) Oh my god! That friend looked so innocent and harmless.

Girl2: (wisely) that's why you should never judge a book by its cover. I too had the same impression about her but who knew that her schemes ran deeper than the Mariana trench.

Girl1: what's Mariana trench?

Girl2: The deepest place in the whole world. Honestly, what did you do at your school?

Grl1: (Sheepish) let's not go there.

Girl1: (shocked) It was that bad? So that explains a lot-

Girl2: explains what?

Girl1: senior Aera looks as if someone ran over her cat. She's depressed and there are huge dark circles under her eyes-

Girl2: indeed! Now you point it out I could notice them. She's wearing an awful lot of makeup to cover it up.

Ye-Jin's vision sharply turned towards Aera and indeed she looked pale and her moments were slack as if she was exhausted.

She swallowed her sudden rush of feelings and once again turned her focus back to the gossipping girls but sadly they had wrapped up their short session and were on their way to join the group in their practice routine.

So to sum up the whole thing from what Ye-Jin gathered, Aera and Ray were dating peacefully but she had become the third party in their relationship and as a bitch had- with her underhanded schemes- broken the happy couple apart. And not just that, she now had the gall to show up with Ray at every place. Moreover, she apparently had a falling out with Aera regarding the same matter and they were no longer on speaking terms and their friendship was definitely ruined.

Ye-Jin didn't know whether she should laugh or cry at these baseless rumours. She could at the most only shake her head at the IQ of people who had so much free time to create them or those people who lived and breathed for such baseless gossip.

She was sure of one thing in this new development and that was that there was a little girl who was pulling the threads behind the scene and she had to drag that piece of shit out and clear her and Aera's name. And for the same, she could only postpone her plans of making up with Aera for the time being and retreat two steps before striking viciously with full force.

Thus, Ye-Jin left the entertainment giant her head churning with possibilities and according to her expectations within the same night, the rumours which were confined to the company staff and other members had somehow become the biggest celebrity scandals in the whole entertainment industry.
