When you accepted this job of being a celebrity
You thought that this might be the destined job you were supposed to do despite you just wanting to be a cinematographer/photographer.
The amount of praise you managed to get in this very young career of yours always motivates you to do your very best every time you are in front of the camera.
Little by little, slowly but surely your confidence went up that you can do these things, you thought you could never do.
You managed to meet a lot of very amazing people.
From Idols to actors and actresses, you managed to meet and get close with the multiple rising stars in the industry.
You were confident that you are part of those group of artists that will have a bright future in the industry and will continue the Korean wave for the foreseeable future.
But all of your credibility and public image will be tainted and vanish in just a blink of an eye.

It was supposed to be a happy night for you since it's the night the Hug will premiere to the whole world.
You wore the very best suit you can get your hands on while Jonathan was busy giving you some pointers on how to answer some questions that surely the media will ask...
But sadly those questions will catch both you and Jonathan off guard...
While you were on the way to the venue, you saw some billboards with you on it representing some brands.
Call it very corny or whatever. But you always liked doing the modeling for brands whether it is a big brand or small brand or just in between cause you appreciate the fact those companies have put their fate in you.

Upon arriving on the venue you and Jonathan immediately notice something strange. there were a lot of news anchors from news networks that are gathered around all scrambling around to interview EM but all in all it was all chaos and confusion that is happening. Jonathan told you it was supposed to be only a handful of select media members that should be present to avoid this kind of stuff from happening.
Jonathan told you to stay in the car while he checks on what's really happening. Then Jonathan left the car, your phone rang, and saw that Jiheon is calling you.
You answered her call and she immediately ask you a question.
"Oppa have you seen the news?!!!"
----
Meanwhile, Jonathan tried reaching EM and asking him about what was happening but then the media immediately turned their attention to Jonathan and asked him the question he never thought he would hear.
"Sir is it true that you used your connections to bribe multiple producers so that Y/n will get the jobs he managed to get?"
Upon hearing this Jonathan immediately runs back to his car, trying to literally dodge the questions the media are asking him right now.
luckily for Jonathan, EM called for more security to stop the media members and gave him time to escape...
Upon entering back to his car Jonathan saw you horrified, signaling that you already know the current situation...
---
You saw the news of Jonathan bribing multiple producers and company execs for you to manage to get the jobs you have been doing along with it the news showed multiple bank transactions and photos of Jonathan meeting the producers to allegedly talk about the job.
Once you saw this you felt betrayed but at the same time, you felt fear cause you know how unforgiving the Korean netizens are in this kind of situation, That's why you didn't bother to check your social media accounts.

Due to the fact that this issue has exploded right in front of your faces. Jonathan decided to head immediately to the company building...But upon arriving there one of the staff immediately walked toward Jonathan to inform him that Crystal Beat Entertainment will be shut down and all staff are being called back to Big Hit entertainment.
Hearing that Jonathan was about to storm the building to find his father but then the staff stopped him.
"The CEO only wants to talk to Y/n," the staff said signaling you to enter the building.
"Y/n I need to come with you we can stil-" Jonathan tried to convince you but you calmly cut him off.
"It's okay Jonathan... I have nothing left to lose," you told your soon-to-be former manager as you entered the building.
Upon entering the building you immediately went to CEO's office and saw the CEO sitting in his chair.
"Y/n come sit for a bit, we have a whole lot to talk about." the CEO said.
"I'm good here sir you can tell me what you want so we can end this discussion now" you replied making the CEO chuckle in amusement.
"I must say in terms of being disobedient towards me, my son really taught you well." The CEO said pulling an envelope.
"Starting tomorrow this Company will be gone and to let you know I am terminating your exclusive contract with us."
Upon hearing this even tho you expected this to happen you still got your feelings hurt but you chose to toughen it up.
"I understand sir, can I leave now?" you politely ask the CEO
But the CEO walks toward you and gave you an envelope.
You opened the envelope and saw multiple cheques with huge amounts of money imprinted on them that made you look at the CEO who just want back to his chair.
"It's a peace offering Y/n because I'm the one who leaked the information to the media on what my son has done for you." The CEO said showing a hint of regret in his tone.
"But I'm not a bad guy Y/n, I know you what I did to you is unforgivable but I won't leave you empty-handed after all the things you did for us," he said trying to reason to you
"But sadly you are on my son's side that's why I needed you to fail and proceeded to ruin your public image" he added
At this, you didn't know how to react because of how quickly the events had turned out.
But you managed to muster up some courage to ask the CEO a question.
"How can I start over now that every people here in Korea knows me," you asked the CEO who just laugh at you.
"Go to the countryside then. Do you think most of the Koreans outside of Seoul care about celebrities that much?"
And with that, you knew that CEO really want you to disappear from Seoul which you have no choice but to do.
