Chapter 25:

Even while they were having a meal together, Choi Yoojin kept glancing at Yoo Yeon Seo. Whenever their eyes met, he smiled so brightly that it seemed like petals were fluttering around him.

‘So, she’s happy, right?’

Just because he called her mother?

Yoo Yeon Seo was dumbfounded, but he pretended to be calm on the outside. In fact, he had thought of all kinds of things while riding Yoo Eunho’s car.

She seemed to treat him well in front of him, but who knows what she did behind his back? The chaebols he knew in this era were either fighting over shares with their blood relatives, covering up corruption for someone, or having illegitimate children.

But Choi Yoojin now... she showed a different side from what she had suspected. Is that all fake? If that’s fake, she deserves an acting award...

<Master, it’s not good to blindly trust the media you saw in the past.>

‘Isn’t that based on some reality?’

<Well, I don’t think it’s appropriate for the current situation.>

He even got scolded by Beta. He felt like an old lady who couldn’t distinguish between reality and drama and cursed at the villain actor.

He felt humiliated by a machine. I’m a future person from 2207, and the only thing I could refer to in this era was that.

“So, how was France?”

“I went there too often, so I got a little bored. But the weather was nice.”

The family seemed to get along well. Chairman Yoo Changho seemed to like Choi Yoojin more than Yoo Gunmin, and Yoo Gunmin and Yoo Eunho also showed respect for him.

When they were talking about work for a while, the one who cared for the left out Yoo Yeon Seo was Choi Yoojin.

“By the way, Yeon Seo, you’re in a movie, right? How is it?”

“It seems like the shooting will end this week.”

“Really? I wanted to take care of the production too... Please let me do it for the next movie.”

Oh, Choi Yoojin is a media chaebol. She distributes ‘White Tiger’ through JSENM. Come to think of it, there was a movie that got criticized for monopolizing the screen before, and that was also starring Yoo Yeon Seo.

They said they broke even with the long-term screen monopoly... It was a talent to waste such a born background.

“It’s okay, mother. Thank you for your concern.”

“My goodness... Did you hear that?”

Choi Yoojin covered her mouth again. She patted Yoo Gunmin’s shoulder with her other hand and made a fuss.

She was technically his mother, but it would be weird to say this, but she honestly looked a bit... cheap.

Chairman Yoo, who seemed to be strict, also smiled warmly at his beloved daughter-in-law. Hmm, this atmosphere is unfamiliar. Yoo Yeon Seo decided to focus on eating.

“So, what are you going to do after the shooting is over?”

“I have to rest and prepare for going back to school.”

He promised anyway. The mood of the whole family sitting at the table looked good at the casual words.

He had only seen his grandson being rebellious, but seeing him become so obedient, Chairman Yoo’s mouth reached his ears.

“Good. Make sure you attend all the family events. Your brother always attends, but what if you miss it?”

“Yes, well...”

“Good.”

Yoo Yeon Seo made an awkward expression. I can’t keep up with this warm atmosphere.

“By the way, my nephew is getting engaged.”

“Really? I heard it from Chairman Park.”

“It would be nice to go together!”

“Did you hear that? Stay by your mother’s side then.”

How bad was his relationship with Choi Yoojin that they all tried to push them together? Yoo Yeon Seo nodded vaguely. The family smiled gently.

‘Hehe...’

Yoo Yeon Seo decided to give up thinking.

“Then I’ll go. Grandfather.”

“You still have a long way to go before you go back to school, so come often.”

“If I have time.”

He finished the meal in a suffocating atmosphere and followed Yoo Eunho out. At least the food went down well, so he didn’t think he would get sick.

-But what’s the gallery owner doing these days?

I know he’s filming a movieᅲᅲ But he hasn’t posted anything on SNS since the accidentᅲᅲ

└I miss his faceᅲᅲ

└I miss the galleryᅲᅲᅲ

└I’m having withdrawal symptoms since he suddenly stopped posting on SNS;;

The fan community posts were lively. But SNS? What’s SNS? As he opened the search window, someone suddenly approached him from behind.

“What are you looking at, hyung?”

Geez. He flinched and tensed his shoulders. Park Minwoo, who had finished shooting, was waiting for the last group photo.

“Just, the fans’ reactions?”

“You look at the fans’ reactions too, hyung? Your fans love you so much.”

“Yeah? They’re crying because I didn’t post anything on SNS?”

“SNS? Oh, social media. You used to post a lot, hyung.”

The reporters made articles out of anything he posted on social media, so even Park Minwoo, who wasn’t interested in Yoo Yeon Seo, knew that.

Yoo Yeon Seo posted at least five times a day, but most of them were showing off his face and his new luxury goods.

“How about taking a selfie with me and posting it, hyung? It’ll be good for promoting the movie.”

“Should I?”

“Give me your phone, hyung.”

Yoo Yeon Seo obediently handed over his phone. He took a close-up selfie with Park Minwoo and entered his social media account.

“Please follow my account too, hyung.”

Park Minwoo didn’t say it with a pure heart. Yoo Yeon Seo had one of the top five follower counts in Korea, so he wanted to promote himself too.

‘And... he’s not as bad as the director said.’

Park Minwoo wanted to work with Yoo Yeon Seo in the next project if possible. The production budget was abundant because of Yoo Yeon Seo, so the shooting site was comfortable, and his acting was surprisingly good.

“What’s this, let me in too.”

As they were seriously choosing a picture, Lee Hankyul squeezed in between them. In the end, Yoo Yeon Seo posted a picture of the three of them together on his social media and closed the app.

“Good job, everyone!”

After a few minor shootings, the filming of ‘White Tiger’ was finally over. The actors, writers, and directors gathered in the middle and took a group photo with all the staff.

“Our Yeon Seo prepared a gift for the staff, so please get it over there.”

“Thank you!”

“We’ll use it well!”

Lee Taegyeom suggested giving gifts to all the staff to make up for his previous dog excuse, and it was accepted because it was a reasonable proposal.

The staff cheered and Yoo Yeon Seo smiled slightly and nodded. The gifts were some essentials for shooting and a card wallet from a luxury brand he was an ambassador for.

“Yeon Seo.”

“Director.”

Park Hojin, who had tears in his eyes, had a lot to say to Yoo Yeon Seo. He wanted to thank him for choosing his work and making him debut, but he felt like Yoo Yeon Seo wouldn’t like to hear that.

He thought he would say, ‘Why is that my merit?’ with a rough face. That’s how much his impression of Yoo Yeon Seo had changed in his mind.

Yoo Yeon Seo had returned to being a diligent actor after skipping the shooting without notice. His changed acting and sincere attitude also improved his image among the staff.

“Will you work with me again in the next project?”

“Well, if it’s a good project.”

Yoo Yeon Seo didn’t think ‘White Tiger’ was bad. First of all, the situation was similar to his Kang Jinho era, and it was meaningful because it was the first work he participated in since he came to this era.

“Yes, I’ll definitely bring you a good script. See you next year for the promotion.”

Yoo Yeon Seo nodded at Park Hojin’s words.

The staff of ‘White Tiger’ would work as the staff of other works. And they would talk about Yoo Yeon Seo’s changed personality.

But Yoo Yeon Seo was a bit different, right?

They would say.
