“Brother, we have to be the last ones.”
Jin Suho gave a troubled smile at the words of his stylist, Lim Minji.
“Why are you so obsessed with that? We can just go in whenever we arrive.”
“No, we can’t.”
His manager turned his head sharply and looked at Jin Suho.
Jin Suho flinched his shoulders at the sudden movement.
“Do you think our actor, who always entered last, will lose his spot to Yoo Yeon Seo? That’s ridiculous.”
“Brother, this is a matter of pride.”
Jin Suho sighed as if he couldn’t stop them.
The actors who appeared in ‘Dreaming’ were walking on the red carpet laid for the wrap-up party and entering the restaurant.
“What about Teacher Lee Seonja?”
“She said she doesn’t like this kind of thing and went in first. Look, there.”
Lee Seonja was being showered with flashes.
The red carpet was a way to measure popularity and win the battle of aura. You had to enter last.
The manager and the stylist were burning with determination.
“I don’t care at all. Let’s go.”
“Tsk, stay still.”
Jin Suho felt awkward because the wrap-up party was delayed because of his schedule.
He was tied up in the van by his family’s resistance and couldn’t do anything.
“I’ll go and scout first.”
He’s so nice, I have to take care of him. The manager said in a serious voice and got out of the van. He looked for the staff in charge of the red carpet order.
“When can our actor Jin Suho enter?”
“Well... that’s...”
The staff pointed to one side with an awkward face. Lee Taegyeom was standing there with his arms crossed and a smug smile.
Lim Seunghyun, who was wearing a suit, had his hands in his pants pockets next to him. It was Lee Taegyeom who told him to do that.
“So, how did you know that the young master had amnesia?”Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
Lim Seunghyun whispered to Lee Taegyeom.
He remembered how Lee Taegyeom had given hints to Yoo Yeon Seo during the last script reading.
The only people who knew about Yoo Yeon Seo’s memory loss besides his family were the CEO and the director of Halo Media, and Lim Seunghyun.
Lee Taegyeom had just brushed it off as ‘he changed his personality a bit’ and didn’t explain much to him.
It was probably because he had left Yoo Yeon Seo on the road and ran away before, so he didn’t want to talk about it.
Lee Taegyeom had also been silent and just worked because of that reason.
“It’s obvious when you look at her.”
“Since when?”
“Almost from the beginning?”
Lee Taegyeom rolled his eyes.
She said she had grown up after the accident and gave him a lot of money, so he swallowed his pride and came back, but she had changed too much.
She was like a different person.
‘How hard did she hit her head?’
But does a person’s personality change like that when they hit their head?
That’s where his suspicion started.
“I knew it when you whispered to her every time she stuttered.”
“Really?”
“She may have a shitty personality, but she’s really smart. If you had to tell her such trivial things, I thought, oh, she has a problem here. And that was it.”
Lee Taegyeom tapped his temple with his index finger.
He saw Lim Seunghyun’s stiff expression and added in a hurry.
“I didn’t tell anyone, really. I’m her manager, so I have to keep it, but other people won’t know, right?”
Lim Seunghyun relaxed his expression as if he understood.
“I may not be well-educated, but I’m quick-witted.”
Honestly, it was a perfect job except for Yoo Yeon Seo’s dirty personality.
Yoo Yeon Seo had made a scene at the agency, saying ‘lend my manager to another actor?’ so he didn’t have to run around for other actors on his days off and could rest well.
“But does her personality change that much just because she lost some memory? Wouldn’t her original nature remain? She doesn’t seem to be a blank slate either.”
“I don’t know, I’ve never lost my memory.”
“I wonder if she’s actually a decent guy by nature. Nah, that can’t be.”
Lee Taegyeom shook his head and muttered to himself.
Lim Seunghyun raised one eyebrow as he listened. That was a pretty sharp remark.
“By the way, is that guy Jin Suho’s manager?”
“Yeah, he is.”
Lee Taegyeom unfolded his arms.
“Hello, are you Yoo Yeon Seo’s manager...?”
“Oh, yes, are you Jin Suho’s manager?”
Yoo Yeon Seo gave short answers, but Jo Yumi was so happy that she clutched her stomach and fell over. She had already drunk a few glasses.
But it was better than this than being avoided by people who heard the rumors and felt awkward.
“Yeon Seo.”
“Writer!”
Jung Dahee also moved around the table and was very active.
Jung Dahee called Yoo Yeon Seo, but Jo Yumi answered instead.
“The production company seems to be considering season 2, what do you think, writer?”
“Well... I left some room because of the production company’s request, but I have something else I want to write.”
Jung Dahee had gone from a self-doubting aspiring writer to a respectable writer.
She said she would probably win the lawsuit against writer Hwang Mijeong.
“That’s good.”
Yoo Yeon Seo spoke before putting the glass to his mouth and took a sip of alcohol.
It was a good thing anyway.
If Jung Dahee wrote another good work, could I claim credit for raising her?
“All this...”
“Is it thanks to me? I know, so just eat.”
She had heard embarrassing words in front of her face more than once or twice.
Yoo Yeon Seo sent Jung Dahee to the director’s side and turned his head.
Jo Yumi was smiling happily.
“What?”
“Yeon Seo, you’re totally different from the rumors. Why did they spread like that, Suho?”
“I don’t know... It’s amazing.”
Jin Suho also sparkled his eyes.
“I actually came here with a lot of determination because I heard you were the lead.”
“Now you can’t trust the rumors.”
Are they teasing me?
Yoo Yeon Seo frowned and pushed the meat to Jin Suho and Jo Yumi.
“Just eat.”
I take back what I thought earlier, it’s better to be cold and distant with the rumors.
Then, he noticed Lee Seonja getting up from the next table.
‘Lee Seonja worked with Heeseo...’
She played Heeseo’s mother in ‘Under the Persimmon Tree’, and ‘Under the Persimmon Tree’ was the work Heeseo filmed before retiring.
He tried not to care, but he couldn’t help looking.
Yoo Yeon Seo watched Lee Seonja’s back as he went out to smoke and hesitated, then sighed heavily and got up from his seat.
There were Lee Seonja and some staff smoking in the smoking room.
“Teacher.”
“Do you smoke too?”
“No.”
Yoo Yeon Seo didn’t avoid the place even though he frowned at the smell of cigarettes.
Lee Seonja looked at him with a strange expression and lit a cigarette.
“You have something to say to me.”
“Yes.”
Yoo Yeon Seo stared at Lee Seonja’s eyes with a stiff expression.
“First of all, I apologize if I was rude to you when I was in ‘Doll’. I’m sorry.”
She remembered the displeased expression Lee Seonja had during the script reading.
She tried to be nice to Yoo Yeon Seo for some reason after that, but she still had to clear the grudge from before.
Even if she couldn’t remember it.
“Oh, don’t do that. I already forgot.”
“Are you accepting it?”
“I accepted your apology. Stop it.”
Lee Seonja was surprised and dropped the cigarette in her mouth.
Yoo Yeon Seo had been rude, but not enough to receive such a serious apology.
“Did you follow me to apologize?”
“Actually... I have something to ask you.”
“What is it?”
“It’s about my mother who passed away...”
Lee Seonja dropped the cigarette in her hand in shock.
“Heeseo... you mean?”
“Yes.”
“Is it okay to talk about it?”
“Yes?”
Yoo Yeon Seo raised a question mark.
What did he mean by that?
