AUTHOR'S POV
Another reporter stood up and asked "Mr. Park, do you still love Amelia..?" Amelia mentally rolled her eyes as she spoke "that's not a relev-" but she got cut off with Justin's "I do."
What the actual f**k Justin?! Why are you complicating this even more? Amelia thought as she glared at Justin and snapped her eyes towards her secretary.
At the same moment, the entire room went eerily silent, with heads bobbing around in confusion and shock.
Justin chuckled at their reactions, "What I meant was that I do love Amelia but I love my girlfriend Addison more and that's the reason why I am not with her anymore." He calmly stated while his heart was in turmoil. He suddenly felt as if he was trapped, his throat dry for the lies he had to covet.
While Amelia desperately wanted to disappear into thin air, her secretary, Jung-kook got up and dissolved the press conference. Every reporter left along with Justin, leaving Amelia in the room alone.
"So, what are your plans now?" Jung-kook asked as he carefully scanned the room for any hidden cameras or recorders.
"Nothing really." Amelia sighed as she gulped down water. "You can go now. I'll be in my cabin too."
On the other hand, Taehyung was being worried sick about Menesmay. After the hectic conference Jung-kook expected to see Taehyung waiting for him but instead his boyfriend was walking around in circles trying to call someone. "Tae?" he sounded extremely soft, "What's wrong?" Taehyung immediately paused and let out a frustrated sigh. "It's May. I don't know where she is, even her phone is switched off. I have a bad feeling about this..." Jungkook went over and caressed Taehyung's cheek. With a soft press of lips against Taehyung's forehead he reassured him, "It's okay. She's probably busy or forgot to charge her phone? She's always like this so don't worry at all."
Taehyung nodded but still seemed a bit gloomy. I hope that she's okay.
"Taetae Baby..." Jungkook cooed but his heart clenched as Taehyung looked really sad when he finally locked eyes with Jungkook and not knowing what else to do, he engulfed Taehyung in a warm, comforting hug, "Everything will be okay" he said.
Though, Menesmay was a MMA champion and she could defend herself well. Taehyung still couldn't stop himself from worrying about her. Jungkook on the other hand was more worried about his boss-friend because she might be the big badass, independent business woman that everyone admires but deep down she is a really weak person emotionally. I hope things don't go out of hand once again after all this. He silently prayed for everyone's well-being.
Seeing that all of them left, Amelia stood up from her chair and only after taking a step outside of the cabin a hand quickle caught her wrist and pinned her against the wall. It all happened in mere seconds, a moment ago Amelia was finally in a calm state, ready to rest in her cabin but no, out of everyone he had to be there, ready to make her angry again.
Amelia scoffed as she glared first at Jimin's hand and then at his pretty face that she had once adored, "What do you want now?!". She was now boiling with anger.
Justin's facial expression saddened instantly but he gave her a tight smile, "I just wanted to thank you and ask if we could still be friends." he said with a slight hesistance and the reaction he got from her was highly expected.
Amelia darkly laughed as she gave Jimin a mocking look, "Friends? Justin for the love of God, you and me? we both know that it's a bad idea and like I said earlier...I never want to see your face again" she said with clear hatred in her eyes.
Justin's grip on Amelia's wrist loosened and taking advantage of the situation Amelia retrieved her wrist back from his hold but the unwanted conversation wasn't coming to an end. Well, from her perspective this conversation was a waste of her time.
"No I don't think it's a bad idea at all." Jimin said looking into her eyes with determination and lingering hope.
Amelia wasn't letting this guy whom she knew was bad for her, manipulate her life ever again. "Last time I checked, you never had the right to tell me what to do. I am independent enough to decide what I want and what I do so, you don't have the right to tell me otherwise, now please do both of us a favour and never return to my life ever again." she said as she stormed out of the conference room.
Justin felt his shattering heart and the lines finally hit him like an ant was crushed beneath a heavy ass truck 'I am never getting her back in my life, might as well stop trying then' he thought.
But will he stop trying though...?
AUTHOR'S POV
Amelia wasn't letting this guy whom she knew was bad for her, manipulate her life ever again. "Last time I checked, you never had the right to tell me what to do. I am independent enough to decide what I want and what I do so, you don't have the right to tell me otherwise, now please do both of us a favour and never return to my life ever again." she said as she stormed out of the conference room.
...and appearing outside Jungkook's cabin with tears streaming down her cheeks. Laura noticed this and immediately got to her feet. "Ma'am? Something wrong?" She asked as she saw Amelia totally ignoring her and heading towards Jungkook and Taehyung.
Not even coming to a hault she said, "Make sure Justin gets the hell out of this building!"
Amelia violently wiped her tears as she walked towards Jungkook's cabin again and opened the door with a whimper.
She stood there holding the door's handle as she broke into tears once again...
Taehyung got a little shocked but knowing that Amelia needed Jungkook more than him right now, He got off his lap and it's all that took for Amelia to hug Jungkook like her life depended on it.
She cried and cried on his chest for more than what it felt like an hour, without any words being exchanged he stroked her head and back.
Taehyung sat on a couch in the corner and tried to desperately find Menesmay's location but it was of no use.
Amelia finally got off Jungkook's chest, she quickly wiped tears off her face and tried her best to calm herself down and why didn't any of them find her behaviour weird? Cause they had known Amelia for over 6 years, this was normal to them.
Taehyung felt a little bad for only worrying over Menesmay and forgetting about Amelia.
To correct his mistake, he approached Amelia to give her a hug but he was stopped by her question "Why do you look so worried Taehyung?I was just crying..." she said.
Taehyung looked at the ground guiltily as he said, "May left the building looking really...uhm I don't know how to say this" he looked up at Jungkook and then at Amelia" I have been trying to contact her for the past three hours but she isn't p-picking up her phone, I-It's switched off and the way ahe stormed out the building- I'm scared. We don't know where the hell she went to."
"WHAT?!" Amelia yelled half shocked and half pained.

NAMJOON'S POV
It was a normal day. I was enjoying my Iced Americano in my cabin, working on a case I got assigned to a few days ago. Finding the location of a killer in Seoul was hard, especially when the police won't believe my claims of the killer being a woman. Well why'd they believe though? It's highly unlikely for a mother to kill her own daughter and dispatch her body in a trashcan. But to me, this was one easy case, one click more and I'd track her down using my tracker.
In utmost serenity, I let out a chuckle as I now found her hiding spot. A parlour in Gangnam-gu? Too cliché.
The sound of today's breaking headlines shook me out of my trance as I frowned, "Amelia and Justin? A press club conference? Damn, something must've happened cus in no way she's going back to that scum." He really did break her.
I was also the one who found out Justin cheating on Amelia, my friend who I take a liking to. I learned a long time ago that me and Amelia had no chance but she is smart enough and might actually know that I still love her...
I let out a sigh 'I really need some fresh air' I thought as I sent the killer's location to Officer Nam working with me and put on my brown coat and headed outside for a nice walk.
My plan was to get a coffee on the go and head towards a park.
Accomplishing half of what I wanted, I entered a coffee shop and headed towards the counter lady but to my dismay someone tripped against my foot and I quickly held her waist as she wrapped her arms around my neck, stopping her from falling on the floor.
Her over flowing strawberry blonde hair touched my arm 'hair as soft as this exists?' I thought.
She opened her shocked eyes and I saw a beautiful dark pair of brown orbs, like in typical movies my heart made a little flip cause it didn't believe that I had such a beauty in my arms...
We both seemed to be lost in each other's facial features until we heard a male figure clearing his throat...
I helped her stand up as I turned around to see Justin. So this girl here is the Addison Meckinze? Of course Justin you always have to take away girls I take a liking in. I thought as I mentally rolled my eyes at the short midget...

AUTHOR'S POV
It had been two days since the incident between Amelia and Justin.
It had been two days since Menesmay went missing. It was really starting to worry out everyone.
Public had calmed down about Addison and Justin's relationship and fans seemed to have replaced their love for Amelia with Addison...
To be honest, Amelia did feel a little sad but she knew better than to have feelings or sympathy for a cheater.
For now she was devoted to her work and finding the whereabouts of her missing cousin.
Menesmay didn't have any parents. Her parents had died in a car accident when she was just 4 years old. She didn't have any siblings either and Amelia's parents had eventually took the responsibility of raising her.
Not that they were that much present all the time, Amelia's step mom was a well known model. She loved Menesmay just the way she showered Amelia with love.
Although, with her busy schedule she didn't have that much time to look after them, eventually Amelia typically raised her elder step brother and Menesmay. Or to word it out, the kids just raised themselves.
At a young age she knew what responsibility meant and she handled her responsibilities really well but right now she couldn't help but feel like a bad mother for losing Menesmay.
It was hard to concentrate on work or anything in particular "Please Jesus! please just keep her safe" she silently prayed as tears streamed down her cheeks.
She wasn't the only one worried,Taehyung and Jungkook were worried sick as well...Merenla tried her very best to contact any of May's close apprentices too but all of it went in vain.
They tried anything and everything to find out about her whereabouts but it seemed as if May just didn't want to be found? She wanted to remain hidden?
"Maybe she just doesn't want us to find her?" Taehyung said as he broke down crying the second time today...
Jungkook did his job as his boyfriend and tried his best to calm his baby down but he couldn't hold it in any longer as he broke down crying in Taehyung's arms as well.
And Laura was having it really bad too. How did she know about Menesmay disappearing? No she doesn't yet but well...she called her millions of times but it didn't connect. Maybe it's just me and she isn't interested in me at all she thought...
Laura was staring blankly into space...'Why did I have to crush on another girl so quickly? I should have just sticked to being rejected by Amelia daily'
Will they ever be able to find her? Why did she even disappear? How did she even disappear?
All these questions had yet to be answered but no one knew anything...
No one other than Menesmay that is but was she even alive to tell the tale?
