Chapter 33:

Early in the morning, Han Yooil was awakened by Brion.

Mr. Yooil. Mr. Han Yooil.

"What's up."

Han Yooil frowned as he opened his eyes. His body felt heavy due to staying up late watching a movie the night before.

"Brion, that awakening effect"

Before Yooil could finish his sentence, he felt a sensation as if ice water was flowing down from the top of his head. Han Yooil quickly brushed off the goosebumps forming on his arms.

Mr. Yooil, I have news to inform you.

"What is it?"

I will show you first.

Soon, a translucent window appeared in front of his eyes.

[Bl Sea Hr Luv with B Romance (Proof Available)]

As Yooil looked puzzled at the cryptic title, Brion quickly added an explanation.

It's a post stating that Black Sea's Harang and LoveA's Byul are dating, and that there is evidence of it.

What?'

It was awkward, to say the least, a romantic relationship. When observed closely, the two did not seem like they were in that kind of relationship at all.

Of course, it's not that idols can't date. Idols are human too, and fans obviously know they have a private life.

However, knowing and accepting are different matters. An idol's romantic relationship affects the bond between fans and the idol, leading to fans feeling deceived.'

It's a distorted structure to begin with.'

Yooil narrowed his brow and continued reading the post.

The author who claimed to have captured evidence of Harang and Byul's relationship continued to list the proofs.

[They're in the same drama this time, you must know

Even if they have common ground, their relationship is definitely not just colleagues

Photos taken at the same place on the same day but uploaded on different days]

The post included close-up photos of a pink keychain attached to Harang's black bag and the same keychain on Byul's ivory eco bag.

A keychain with black bead-like eyes nestled among fluffily sprouting fur.

?'

"This is."

That was a keychain Yooil also recognized.

A few days ago, one of the staff members had distributed it to everyone involved in the shooting, saying it was from a shop opened by his sister.

He wasn't usually one to attach keychains, and since it was a gift, he had just kept it in his room to take care of it.

What is this.'

Moreover, the photos said to have been taken on the same day were at a park near the shooting site. Obviously, Harang and Byul weren't the only ones there.

"This turns out like this"

Real-time searches on BlueChat were filled with keywords like Harang Byul,' Black Sea dating,' LoveA dating,' LoveStar evidence.'

""

Honestly, it was a funny kind of bait that didn't even seem worth clarifying.

But what concerned him was Kim Harang and Byul.

To be more precise, it's shooting concerns.'

Right.'

There was a shoot in just a few hours, and it couldn't be unaffected.

What are people's reactions?'

Based on the comments and sympathies left in the online space, 83.4% believe it's fabricated evidence, while 15.1% show a slight tendency to agree. Additionally, about 1.4% are continuously generating malicious rumors.

Have there been similar rumors about the two of them before?'

LoveA's Byul had a scandal with Blade's Ekta (real name: Kim Jiho), and Black Sea's Kim Harang had one with Cary's Jooi (real name: Joo Ihye). At that time, a total of 4,342 articles covered these incidents

Alright, I got it.'

With such evidence there was no need to blow things out of proportion.

Han Yooil looked at the pink keychain in his hand.

Will this help?'

It seems like it will.

Hearing Brion's resolute voice, Han Yooil picked up his phone.

Up until that moment, he was still half-doubtful about whether his attempt' would actually be effective.

* * *

It was a bit early for lunch.

At the end of that gaze was Kim Harang.

"?"

As their eyes met, Harang smiled slyly and whispered.

"Hyung."

"Yes?"

"Thank you."

At the unexpected word of gratitude, Yooil merely shrugged nonchalantly. The bright smile on Kim Harang's face didn't fade easily.

And that evening, <Sing in High School> was released on O-Tube.

* * *

Lee Hyejin was staring at her phone. Staring didn't make time pass faster, but it somehow made her feel less anxious.

50 seconds, 51 seconds'

10 seconds felt like 10 minutes.

And finally,

"It's out!"

Lee Hyejin refreshed O-Tube and quickly pressed the play button, gripping her phone tightly with her other hand.

Then, episode 1 of <Sing in High School> began.

During the drama, Lee Hyejin was surprised three times.

First, by the sight of Seon Gihyeon wearing glasses, and second, by a scene where Gihyeon, amidst the noisy classroom, stood up and spoke in a low voice.

Can you be quiet? It's self-study time.

"Wow."

The image of Han Yooil, who had previously played a vampire and a boy, was still vivid in her mind, but the role of a model student with glasses suited him as if it was his own clothes.

The slightly hunched shoulders and the face that seemed sensitive. Even the trembling corners of his eyes were exactly Seon Gihyeon.

He's really good.'

And the last surprise came during a scene at the end of the drama, where a number was being sung.

[This world is vast and

I just keep getting lost.]

The deep, solid voice carried the number smoothly and steadily.

Our actor could even do musicals.'

Of course, it was a drama, so there might have been some post-processing, but it was genuinely a soothing voice to listen to.

At some point, Lee Hyejin, who started referring to Yooil as our actor' instead of just a schoolmate,' moved the play bar back to the beginning of the number as soon as the drama ended. She didn't forget to actively participate in BlueChat in real-time.

* * *

Lee Hyejin wasn't the only one who enjoyed <Sing in High School>.

- O-Tube's premiere of <Sing in High School> marks a successful start Will it join the ranks of classic high school dramas'?

Exactly my thoughts

Seon Gihyeon's sensitive charm, why am I so smitten?

222222

333333

The character intros seemed unattractive, but watching the video makes them so likable; is it because of the actors?

Brrrr.

Sitting in the waiting room and endlessly scrolling through the reactions that Brion displayed, Yooil was jolted from his reverie by the ringing of his phone.

"What's this?"

The name flashing on Han Yooil's phone was unexpected.

[Director Yoo Jaeho]

As soon as Yooil answered the call, an excited voice came through.

Yooil!

"Hello, Director. How have you been?"

Director Yoo Jaeho immediately got to the point with a trembling voice.

Our movie is going to the Bugu Film Festival!
