Chapter 225 - Worth Fighting for

"Ye Rim ?! Why did you answer the…" Na Ra's voice sounded unpleasant in his ears. "You do not have any shame?! Leave him alone! He's ill but he knows one thing for sure! He doesn't want you! What are you up to?! I'm in front of Jun Hyeon's car right now, in this hotel's parking lot, so you better give him the phone! If you don't, I swear ... I will tell the whole world what kind of person you are!"

'What kind of person am I?! Why, who does she think she is?! I can't believe this! Now that I thought I had finally found some peace, this woman decided to leave the past where she should have stayed, to torment our lives!' With these thoughts, Ye Rim hung up the phone without mercy.

However, she could not rest, knowing that woman was there. 'What is she doing here? How did she know where we were? '

Ye Rim remembered that Na Ra was exchanging messages with Jun last afternoon. 'Surely he told her he was coming back with me by car…'

Determined to prevent a scandal at the hotel, Ye Rim dressed and went to the bedroom door. Which was timely, because she opened the door just when Na Ra was going to knock.

"Aishhh ... Are you some kind of stalker, Na Ra-ssi?"

"What did you do to Jun Hyeon? He can only be intoxicated or drunk, to be with you in a hotel room!" the other woman spoke in horror, looking closely at Ye Rim's messy hair and smudged makeup.

For a brief moment, Ye Rim felt sorry for Na Ra, who liked a man who didn't like her. That was stuck in a history of the past. Ra lived a horror story, as she had lived for two years.

"Listen, Na Ra. Give up. Jun Hyeon and I are fine. I understand your situation ..." she tried to have a calm conversation with the ex-model, and closed the door behind her.

"Stop bullshitting, Ye Rim! I know the truth! I know about the contract! And how you extorted Jun Hyeon's attention all this time. You called me a stalker, but you're the psychopath! This is all I need, another whacko surrounding Jun Hyeon! I won't allow that!"

"You don't have to allow anything."

Na Ra held up the cell phone in her hand, starting to record a video.

"This woman is Nam Ye Rim, who everyone thinks is a star and a good person. But she is a crazy psychopath who blackmails Kim Jun Hyeon! She drugged Dr. Kim Jun Hyeon to drag him to a…"

PAFF!!!

Ye Rim was not going to allow the woman to film her face and speak bullshit. She slapped Na Ra's hand away, and the cell phone flew away, falling in the middle of the hall.

"You bitch!!!" Na Ra's voice was filled with hate. She went over to the cell phone quietly, and picked it up from the floor. 

Although Ye Rim wasn't sorry to have resorted to it to prevent filming, she was nervous because she didn't want to fight with Na Ra.

In fact, she was shaking.

"Na Ra, go away. I told you already. There's nothing for you here. When he wakes up, he even talks to you, if you don't believe me. But save yourself the embarrassment and wait for his call."

"No f.u.c.k.i.n.g way. You will open the door now and let me see him. I want to make sure he is okay, and that he has not been doped."

Despite everything, they were not shouting at each other.

"The hell I will." Ye Rim had already had enough of that, when Na Ra spoke.

"A friend of mine got a copy of the contract. I'll put it in the press if you don't open the door now."

Ye Rim could not hide her shock, or to deny the existence of the contract.

"You wouldn't do that, as it would damage Jun Hyeon's reputation too!"

Na Ra stopped to breathe, when she realized this. But she argued,

"No! He's a victim! You forced him into a contract when he was most fragile and had just found out that Ji Hyeon was alive and Dae Woon was a crazy psycho!" She walked away to make a call.

Ye Rim covered her mouth in shock. She had always thought that the ex-model was a reasonable and intelligent person. In a way, she could still understand Na Ra's reasons ... she just couldn't let her do that. The consequences would be unpredictable!

"Na Ra! In Ra, come back here!" she called, taking a few steps towards the other woman. Na Ra walked away. "Na Ra… Don't do that, you are wrong. Let's talk civilly, huh? Things are not as they seem..."

"No, they are much worse! You are almost as bad as Dae Won." Na Ra interrupted the conversation when the person on the other end picked up the phone.

"Hey listen. It's urgent. That Ye Rim's contract, do you still have that?" While talking to the person, Na Ra was moving away from the singer, and placing his hand over her mouth so that only the person on the other side could hear the rest of the conversation.

Ye Rim wasn't sure if the ex-model would go this low to do this to them, but she couldn't take any chances.

"Na Ra! Stop it now!" She ran to the woman, trying to take her cell phone. Na Ra didn't just wait, but ran to the end of the corridor. Seeing an open door, the ex-model entered and went downstairs, with the singer on her heels.

It was a service staircase, and they ended up in a place that was part storage, part laundry.

"Get away, you crazy bitch! I knew you were insane!" Na Ra he went further and further, dodging cleaning carts and baskets of dirty bedding. 

Ye Rim had come too far to retreat, though.

"It is the last time that I warn you, Na Ra! I'm really running out of patience! Stop now, and let's talk! Give me this cell phone. I don't want you to record anything!" Ye Rim just looked at Na Ra, and that was her mistake.

The ex-model pushed a cleaning cart towards her, so she could dodge and go back upstairs. 

Ye Rim could not dodge in time and was hit by the cart. Luckily, she hurt her knees only slightly, where the cart hit.

But Na Ra succeeded and passed by Ye Rim, returning where they came from. 

Ye Rim was still rubbing her aching knees when she heard the loud thump of the door slamming.

"Hey, wait. Did that crazy bitch lock me in the hotel's bas.e.m.e.nt?"
