Chapter 100: Leaked Photos
Leaked Photos
Yoomyeong took a deep breath, filling his chest to the brim before holding it. And then, with a surge of strength in his forearms, he pulled the bowstring taut.
Maintaining the utmost tension, he aligned his gaze and the arrowhead with the target, focusing intensely as if the target wasnt just made of paper but real prey.
And as if he enjoyed the peak of this tension, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile before he released the arrow.

The arrow flew straight towards the target
Swish
And missed.
Cut! Good work.
Thank you. You too, director.
Well film the arrow as it hits the target next.
The archery instructor who was watching from the side interjected.
Werent you a bit of a shooter? By the looks of it, I thought youd hit the bullseye
Haha, I only learned the stance for the filming.
Yoomyeong laughed awkwardly.
Try to learn properly next time. Youll pick it up in no time if your form is that stable. So, what else have you done? You have the look of someone whos trained in martial arts or combat sports for a long time.
Uh I havent really trained in anything
Is that so? Hmm
The talkative instructors gaze sharpened as if he were a different person when he drew his bow and aimed at the target. Yoomyeong observed the instructors posture and gaze closely, thinking it might come in handy someday.
Zing
Thwack!
After they filmed the arrow piercing the bullseye, the shoot at the archery range was concluded.
Because the Unmask phase contained only cut shots of Park Joo-wons colorful appearance without any dialogue, filming in one location did not take long. But since all of the outdoor filming had to be completed in one day, their schedule was tight.
Well move quickly to the next location.

The next location was a hip-hop club in Itaewon.
It was the middle of the day, so the club wasnt open for business. However, cameras, lights, and other equipment were already set up, and extras that were dressed in nighttime clothes and makeup were filling the club.
Yoomyeong changed into the prepared outfit and added a bit of styling to his hair.
Can you dance, Yoomyeong?
Uh Im not sure. Ive never danced this kind of dance before.
Its more about having expressive facial expressions than flashy dance moves, so dont stress too much. Just go with the flow and find the rhythm with those around you.
The most glamorous female extras were positioned where they would lock eyes with Joo-won. The concept would show Joo-won focusing on the music and dancing, ignoring their flirtatious glances.
Soon enough, music began to fill the space. The isolated room, lit by flickering neon signs, made it hard to tell if it was night or day.
Everyone, please start dancing.
Many of the extras were picked from club enthusiasts and were familiar with the scene, having been there the night before and ready to return tonight. They began to move naturally to the thumping hip-hop music.
Yoomyeong observed them for a moment.
Each of them moved to the beat of the music with their unique flair, but there was also a pattern.
Being a professional in using his body, Yoomyeong quickly caught on to the pattern and began to move along.
Dum dumm
The basics of the dance were the up-and-down movement.
Bouncing lightly to the rhythm with the knees and waist added bounce to the body, and the wave-like motion of bouncing was stylish without being overdone.
As he got the hang of it, the simple up and down bouncing steps evolved, and his shoulders began to swing slightly.
The director observed this scene with a peculiar sensation.
An actor who knew how to showcase his body.
Although he didnt yet seem fully accustomed to this space like the others, the orderly movements from his fingertips and the captivating elegance when his body belatedly followed the direction of his feet were undeniable.
Then why go through a complicated method?
Which are you more inclined to click on? A photo, or a leaked photo?
Ah I see. So thats what you intended
Jung So-jin nodded understandingly.
Then, she immediately upgraded Jinhee to a gold member in the fan cafes management system.
This is a small token of appreciation.
Oh, thank you!
While Im jealous you saw this alone, youve earned the gold member status by planning to share even a bit with all members. I look forward to your future contributions.
Yes. Ill release the B-cuts after the ad launch, too. I cant do it through the fan club, but the more content, the better.
Youre right.
Today, Park Jinhee had her fill and used everything to her advantage.
She satisfied her personal desire to share Yoomyeongs cool appearance and achieved her goal as the marketing team leader for Crude, all while earning a gold member badge.
It was really the perfect harmony between hobby and work, a beautiful collaboration.

In Maronnier Park on Daehangno.
Yoomyeong was enjoying a leisurely moment on a park bench, enjoying the breeze for the first time in a while.
Despite wearing a black beanie and sunglasses to cover his face and dressing as plainly as possible, passersbyers still glanced at him, sensing something out of the ordinary about him.
He was there to see the fall regular performance of <Comet>, which featured Seon-ha and his Oedipus colleague, Hye-Seon. Hansung, Jun-ho, and Suho were also free and planned to join him, but Yoomyeong arrived earlier in Daehangno to soak up some sunlight and take a leisurely walk before the show started.
Hyung, you have to call me right away if you get recognized and it starts getting crowded.
Dont worry too much. I look so common that I doubt theyll recognize me.
I doubt that.
Road manager Ho-chul sighed while observing Yoomyeong, who recently seemed to catch everyones eye even when he was just sitting quietly.
Though he didnt have a particularly striking face or unique features, Yoomyeong wouldnt pass for an ordinary person even if he was fully bundled up, especially not now.
Having been a road manager for years and seen celebrities grow to fame, Ho-chul found Yoomyeongs dramatic transformation to be unique.
{People keep staring at you, kyung.}
Really?
{Try to tone down your presence if you dont want to be recognized. It might help.}
Yoomyeong dimmed his charisma as Miho marveled once again at his ability to control his presence. He had never seen a human manage their energy so effectively.
The breeze is nice, isnt it?
It was a cool autumn day.
The air grew a bit chilly as late October approached, but the sunlit spots remained warm and the occasional cool breeze made for a refreshing atmosphere.
Music could be heard from various corners as buskers performed.
{Look, is that person acting?}
Where?
Miho pointed towards a woman in a mask, who was making expressive gestures and reciting lines from <The Merchant of Venice>.
A few onlookers watched her, but they quickly lost interest and moved on when they realized that her performance wasnt quite as catchy as the song.
Yoomyeong watched her performance from a nearby flowerbed.
{Hey, isnt that the girl?}
Huh?
{You know, the one who did the photoshoot with you. The one who played the lead role in the drama you were doing in your past life.}
Yoomyeong looked closer at the womans face peeking out from the mask.
It really is her Why would someone who debuted be here?
The actress was the very woman Yoomyeong had shot the <Rococo> pictorial with.
Seol Soo Yeon.
