A few days later.
In front of Yura, who was waiting for A&J Management’s response during negotiations with the artist, CEO Song Minwoo stood with a distant look. The softly drawn lips somehow seemed mischievous.
“Was it too sudden?”
Yura had received a message that a guest was looking for her in the lobby, and when she came down, she hadn’t expected it to be Song Minwoo. With a casually inquiring tone, Yura smiled hospitably and lowered her head.
“I didn’t expect you to come all the way to Korea. Thank you for coming.”
“No, I dropped by for various reasons.”
“First, let’s go inside…”
Yura, with a smile on her face, turned to guide Song Minwoo towards the office. However, at his words, saying, “Just a moment,” she turned back with a puzzled expression.
Raising his hand and looking at his watch, Song Minwoo asked carefully, “It’s almost lunchtime. How about having a meal?”
“Yes, that sounds good.”
“I’m curious about a certain dish. Would that be okay?”
“Don’t hesitate and tell me.”
“I’m curious about a home-cooked meal called Baekban.”
The expression “curious about food” sounded strange, and Yura showed an awkward smile at the unexpected mention of a home-cooked Baekban. Among the many foods, why specifically Baekban? It felt like he was quite a unique person.
Yura frequently met with many artists and their managements. They all consistently followed formalities and pursued sophistication.
So, thinking about Song Minwoo’s meal suggestion, she recalled the frequently visited restaurants and Korean course meals. However, a home-cooked Baekban was unexpected.
“Home-cooked Baekban?”
“Yes, a friend mentioned that food, and since I’ve lived abroad for a long time, I don’t really know what it is.”
Yura pondered for a moment. While a course meal served to entertain guests at the office could be considered a home-cooked Baekban, it didn’t seem to match the feeling of the food Song Minwoo was looking for.
Moreover, since he mentioned not knowing what it is due to his long stay abroad, she hesitated a bit about where to take him.
After thinking about various restaurants in her mind, Yura finally decided on one.
“Well, it’s a bit old but has a homely atmosphere. There’s a restaurant that serves home-cooked Baekban well. Will you go?”
Yura looked at Song Minwoo with a confident face.
Hyun, who was scrutinizing the numbers filling the paper, frowned at the calm voice coming over the phone.
“Who is it?”
It’s Song Minwoo, the representative of A&J Management.
“He came to Korea?”
Yes, there’s no official schedule other than meeting Ms. Somo, and the rest of the time, he visited unofficially.
“I see. Continue to monitor.”
Hyun casually put down the quickly flashing phone and furrowed his brows.
Hyun knew about Song Minwoo because Yura had attempted contact with the management.
Regarding her, Ihyeon, who needed to know everything to satisfy his conscience, periodically expanded the scope of his investigation based on the data he had obtained in advance.
Among them was Song Minwoo. If not for that, he wouldn’t have been curious or needed to know about his existence.
So, Song Minwoo’s presence wasn’t particularly threatening. Even if he were handsome and held a plausible position, he wasn’t a subject for restraint.
If there were a thorn in his side, it was rather O Sejin. However, the only reason Song Minwoo was uncomfortable was one. That day, he made Jin Yura laugh brightly, and that touched Ihyeon’s feelings.
Ihyeon called the secretary of the secretary’s office through an internal phone. The secretary who entered with a calm face lowered her head.
“Have you found it?”
“Do you have information about Song Minwoo from A&J Management?”
Since he grasped information in all fields, not only in politics and business but also in various arts and sports associations, there would be information about him in any of them. If not, they could investigate.
“Yes, there is brief information that I quickly gathered while investigating Ms. Ju Hyerim in the past.”
“Ah, Ju Hyerim.”
Ihyeon chuckled softly at the unexpected appearance of an unfamiliar figure. It was strangely unclear why it was Ju Hyerim. Originally, since Yura had proposed the performance first, it could be a simple coincidence.
But unable to shake off a strange feeling, Ihyeon was asked by the secretary.
“Shall I look up more information?”
“No, just brief her.”
“Yes, understood.”
When the secretary left, alone in the office, Ihyeon rhythmically tapped the desk.
“Ju Hyerim and O Sejin.”
If handled well, they could be utilized appropriately.
Since Song Minwoo was known in the industry, Ju Hyerim might already know about his marriage. Perhaps she was considering helping, thinking it might be beneficial.
Ju Hyerim was Ihyeon’s college friend and was a famous figure even during their school days.
She wasn’t Ihyeon’s point of interest because she didn’t like the peculiar style that wandered around everywhere. The moment they met again was during an overseas charity event during their study abroad days.
