Chapter 11: Celebrities Are Being Targeted?
*Miss Ahn Warehouse Photography Room*
Kim follows Miss Ahn and Manager Ma into the warehouse, the warehouse as it was designed for a shooting scene had workers everywhere fixing or placing cameras and lights, there was a man wearing a hat that was placed sideways on his head shouting out orders to people, it was out this moment that Kim noticed some workers stopping what they were doing to stare at Miss Ahn as she walked in but the worst thing to Kim was that they also started noticing him as well as some had already seen him drop off Miss Ahn awhile ago
Kim on being on high alert didn't give the stares and whispers he got a second glance as he walked behind Miss Ahn who was having a talk with Manager Ma as they walked towards the man who had been shouting from earlier, he seemed to have calmed down alot, he give a quick nod to a boy adjusting a small camera before turning behind to see Miss Ahn as she walked towards him, looking by the way the man had directed the people he seemed to have been the director, he wore a gray sweeter with a light gray scarf flogged around his neck, the cap on his head was white in color with black big trousers and a white saddle, he had a file or script on his hand as he moved from the center of the setup towards Miss Ahn
"Miss Ahn sorry for the change in schedule"
"I just had some things I needed to do tomorrow" stated director
"no need I'm here already"
"let's just gets this shoot started" stated Miss Ahn as she walked pass the director with a wave of her hand and proceeded to the backroom of the warehouse
*Warehouse Fitting Room*
"everything is already set Miss Ahn" stated Manager Ma as she stopped the director to tell him about something's related to the shoot, Kim noticed this but didn't put any mind to it as Miss Ahn slowed her movement until he was just a few feet from her
"wait for me outside"
"I'm gonna gets changed" whispered Miss Ahn as she reached the back door and rested her hand on the handle, she pulled it open and proceeded to walk in not before giving Kim a look that stated 'don't go anywhere' before entering the room and locking it, Kim on seeing this stopped and stood beside the door of the changing room as the sign on the left side had showed
he straightened his posture by placing his hand behind him before deciding to survey the area as always, his vision moved around from the workers and crew going about their business to the director giving orders, he also saw the looks and stares he got from some of the workers who had nothing or something going on, but Kim being Kim and trained to block out things didn't mind the stares as his attention was taken by something else
'where did Manger Ma go to? ' thought kim as he didn't catch her presence in the whole room, he then looked to right while trying to find Manager Ma he spotted a boy dressed in black fixing the rope that would be tied to Miss Ahn for the scene, he looked to be tighting it but Kim wasn't so sure that was it, he moved his posture as he got ready to walk up to the person when a hand was placed on his shoulder, he stopped and turned back to see Miss Ahn, she now wore a brown dress that had a buckle drapped around the center with white sneakers, her hair was tied up in a ponytail with a little bit of makeup to cover the stitches she had
"where are you going" asked Miss Ahn as she removed her hand and crossed it between her chest with a questioning look
Kim on seeing this quickly turned back to the scene to find the boy gone
'his gone...' thought kim as he stared at the place the boy had stopped trying to figure out what he had done when he was slapped on the back
"Earth to Mr Kim"
"you haven't answered my question yet" asked Miss Ahn as she had been the one to slap him, Kim turned fully towards her with a normal expression on his face
"nothing..."
"I thought I saw something"
"but it was a mistake" repiled Kim to Miss Ahn who had started walking towards the shooting room, he turned back to the rope with a look of unsatisfaction of the case, he wanted to investigate but decided not too to not alert Miss Ahn and the boy, he took a step forward and walked the direction Miss Ahn had gone
he followed her until they were at the center of the shoot, Kim knowing that he shouldn't interfere from that moment stopped his decend and stood by the right side of the directors camera, to not distract them but at the same time keep a close eye on her as she was his charge today, not like he wanted to in the first place, Miss Ahn walked up to the stage and was assaulted by the makeup crew as they styled her hair and clothes, removing the makeup she had before and putting on new once, after the makeover was done the crew left the spotlight as the director took his seat and positioned the camera
"OK Miss Ahn we're going to take some photos for the commercial billboard" stated director as he arranged the camera as Miss Ahn strike a pose, the camera went shutter and shutter throughout as Miss Ahn gave different poses and the director complimented her but it wasn't just the director who was complimenting her, many of the crews members were there as well
"Miss Ahn is soo beautiful"
"she really is one of the top beauty"
"oh... I wish i had fare skins like her"
"I'm so jealous..!" came the voices from the crew
'my ears are dying here' thought Kim as the voices continued their praises of Miss Ahn on her beauty and style
'their acting as if this is the first time they've seen her' thought kim as he moved his eyes from Miss Ahn to survey the back when he spotted Manager Ma coming out from a room in the right side of the warehouse
'I don't remember seeing her entering that room' thought kim as she moved closer to the shoot with as much grace as possible, she looked to have been agruing with someone if the swell of anger on her face was anything to come by, but that soon disappeared when she noticed Kim staring at her, she stopped and gave him a smirk as she walked towards him
'here comes another one' thought kim as Manager Ma stopped beside him, she placed her hands between her chest with a loving and caring expression as she looked at Miss Ahn on the spotlight
"she's beautiful isn't she" asked Manager Ma to Kim
"I always known from the first time I saw her at the audition she would become a star" stated Manager Ma as she turned to Kim with the same expression until it change
"how do you know Miss Ahn"
"I don't remember she ever mentioning you to me"
"and I clearly have never seen you around her before"
"so spill who are you and what's your relationship with Miss Ahn" asked Manager Ma with a stern look as she faced Kim who had not once looked or answered her since he came into the warehouse along with Miss Ahn but manager Ma didn't let on and continued asking question, Kim on seeing that he was trapped between a rock and hard surface decided to answer her
"I'm.. " said Kim but before he could say anything heard
"OK we're gonna use the rope for a flying effect to capture the audience and viewers"
"you there! go and setup the line" stated the director as he gestured to a man who was standing beside him, the man got up and proceeded to were the rope was place and took it,
'wait the rope...?' thought kim shocked as he remembered the boy that was bent on the rope at the last time
'don't tell me he did something to it' thought kim as he looked at the crew setting the rope around Miss Ahn who turned to look at him and smiled
Kim stood they frozen as the rope was pulled and she was lifted off the ground to stay a few feet into the air with her legs and hand positioned to give the effect of someone flying
"Miss Ahn we're going to do a scene of you leaping into the air so the line will be pulled upwards for you to balance yourself" stated director as he signed for the workers to. pull the line, the rope was pulled and she was raised a little higher with her form moving in different style as the camera shutter with precision
"you haven't answered my question" remembered Manager Ma as Kim turned his attention from Miss Ahn back to Manager Ma before turning fully to Miss Ahn as he watched every movement
Miss Ahn was placed in the air as she moved and turned like a ballerina, she does this without knowing anything as we see the line that was hooked into her waist losing as it draws fast from the buckle, as soon as the line reached the edge it hooked and pulled Miss Ahn down a little towards the ground before stopping turning her around line a wheel with her back to the ground and face upwards, Miss Ahn quickly gripped the line of the distangled rope to stop her decend before the buckle fell fully off, on seeing this the whole place was in a crisis
"what's going on!"
"Miss Ahn!"
"hold on were getting help!"
"Miss Ahn hold on don't let go"
people were panicking even Manager Ma had screamed when it happened, the director was shouting orders while down crew members were trying to get up to Miss Ahn to pull her down, in the mist of this chaos no one noticed Miss Ahn slipping as her grip was getting weaker, she held on tight with all her might but the rope was leaving her hand little by little, the rope was almost fully gone from her grip as her hands were scratched and injured as she hung on
'no.. I don't want to die' thought Miss Ahn as her grip finally fell from the rope and she plummeted down towards the warehouse floor, everything was in slow moment as she fell down towards the earth, thinking that all was lost she closed her eyes as tears fell from them but before she could reach it we move back to Manager Ma to see Kim leap off of his position into a run, he ran fast and sure as she grow closer to the ground he moved and ranned under her as she fell into his hand, the force of the fall because she had been high in the air made Kim to turn around before landing on his knees with Miss Ahn safely in his hand
the entire place stopped in shock at the scene until it shattered into an uproar, the crew members and even other non members were glad she had been saved, even manager Ma had a look of total shock and happiness on her face, but we move back to see Kim still on his knees in the spotlight as he waits for Miss Ahn to open her eyes, she moved her eyelids under her eyes before opening one to see the situation, she looked at Kim with a scared expression but was soon dismayed as he gave her a smile instead
"you're alright"
"I promised that I would protect you didn't I" stated Kim as he got up from the ground with Miss Ahn, he moved towards a chair that was directed to him by one of the employee, he worked there and placed her on the chair before he moved back to allow the medics to check up on her but Kim was stopped by a force, he looked down and saw Miss Ahn hand gripping his suit as she didn't let go, she looked scared and afraid seeing as this was the first time something like this had happened to her, he stopped and stood beside her so as to give her reassurance and it seemed to work as she calmed down a lot
Kim in seeing her calm and being taken care of tried to listen to what the director was talking about with a team of people that were checking the rope
"what do you mean it was cut" asked the director to a man that was bent over the buckle
"it means what it means"
"look the rope and buckle was cut precisely to pull when raised higher into the air"
"that was why we didn't notice it when she was still a few feet from the ground" stated the man as he pointed to the traces of cut and ripe in the line
'it was cut..'
'that means it was done intentionally to hurt her'
'but why.. '
'and who..?' thought kim as he looked around the place at the crew members but none could come at as a suspect as all of them had been busy when the boy first appeared, Kim turned back to the line of agreement when he remembered something
'why do I feel this had happened before?' thought kim as he tried to remember when something similar happened
'wait.. '
'at Miss Do company'
'the light that fell on Mr Soun and Miss Han'
'it was also cut as well' thought kim as a serious expression appeared on his face, he looked back at Miss Ahn and noticed Manager Ma with her as she talked smoothing words to her
'this isn't a concidence is it'
'celebrities are being targeted' thought kim as he continued staring at Miss Ahn as their forms are covered by workers moving left and right blocking their form from view as the screen turns black
