The next afternoon.
A man followed the secretary’s guidance into the CEO’s office at SL Entertainment.
“Why do I have to come and go like this?”
It was Ji-Sang, who had come after receiving a call from Sung-Hyuk the night before.
Sung-Hyuk, who was reviewing a proposal submitted by the content production team, glanced up briefly. He looked at Ji-Sang, who was grumbling as he walked towards the sofa, with a nonchalant expression and replied.
“It’s only natural for a jobless person to come.”
“Drop the stereotype that the jobless have free time.”
“People like you are the reason why there are rumors of jobless people dying of overwork.”
Ji-Sang, with a who-cares attitude, leaned back on the sofa, making a show of cleaning his ear.
“What do you want? Why did you call me?”
Sung-Hyuk stood up from his desk, moved to the sofa, and started the conversation.
“To help you escape unemployment.”
Ji-Sang shook his head firmly.
“No. I don’t want to escape.”
“You’ve been idle for more than a month. That’s enough.”
“Who decides it’s enough? I’m not satisfied yet.”
Ji-Sang was enjoying his sweet jobless life. He had worked at the largest entertainment agency in the U.S., home to world-famous directors and actors, until just before he came to Korea. He had been the executive producer of a drama that gained worldwide popularity last year.
He returned to Korea from a successful career in the U.S. because he was tired of living there. Although it seemed like a bizarre reason, those who knew him weren’t surprised.
Ji-Sang was known to be a unique and free spirit.
“Work with me. I’ll give you the position of head of the global business team.”
“As if being a team leader is something great.”
“Then forget it.”
Ji-Sang, who had been scoffing, suddenly grimaced.
“What kind of attitude is this for asking a favor? Why are you so arrogant?”
“It’s not a favor, it’s an offer.”
“Did you think I’d just accept it with you being so cocky?”
“You will.”
Ji-Sang’s lips curled up as if he had never been serious.
“You know me too well.”
Sung-Hyuk burst into laughter.
“I won’t exploit our friendship to get you on the cheap. I’ll give you the best treatment.”
“I’d like to rest a bit more, but I can’t ignore such a request from you.”
“It’s not a request or a plea; it’s an offer.”
Ji-Sang grumbled but then shifted the topic.
“Was this the important thing you wanted to talk about yesterday?”
He quickly corrected himself.
“It’s less important than taking Young-In home.”
“It might be less important than that, but it’s still significant.”
Realizing he wouldn’t hear any sugar-coated words from Sung-Hyuk, Ji-Sang asked seriously.
“You’re pulling me in, so you’re planning to do this right?”
Sung-Hyuk frowned in response.
“What kind of question is that?”
“You came here because of Young-In, so if things work out with her, you won’t need to stay here long. You’re just planning to maintain the status quo and leave, right? That’s what you mean.”
“I don’t know how long I’ll be here, but I’m not planning to just maintain the status quo and leave. Even if I do leave, I’ll make sure to leave some meaningful achievements behind.”
A satisfied smile appeared on Ji-Sang’s lips.
Knowing how much a company’s atmosphere can change depending on the CEO’s management mindset, he also knew that it’s better to enjoy a leisurely jobless life than work under a CEO who’s content with the status quo.
“You don’t want to appear incompetent in front of Young-In, do you?”
“Even if I wanted to, I couldn’t be incompetent, you know that.”
“I don’t know! I don’t know!”
No matter how much Ji-Sang covered his ears and protested, Sung-Hyuk remained unfazed.
“You need to help Young-In quite a bit.”
“Why are you asking me to help? You should do it. Better the CEO than the team manager.”
“I want you to fill in the gaps that I might overlook. You’ll be able to communicate with her in terms of work, won’t you? I’m still ignorant about this industry, but you’re different.”
Sung-Hyuk was confident that Ji-Sang would be a great help to both SL Entertainment and Chae Young-In personally. Whether it’s information, experience, or connections, there would be a lot to learn from him.
“Luckily, you seem to understand the situation.”
Ignoring the sarcastic comment, Sung-Hyuk continued.
“Let me know if anyone bothers Young-In.”
“Are you recruiting me as a spy?”
“No, a lookout.”
“…….”
“Or should I say, a right-hand man?”
“Sure, sure, whatever you say.”
Sung-Hyuk handed a prepared contract to Ji-Sang, who now wore an expression of indifference.
“Since you’re here, sign this before you leave.”
Sung-Hyuk was a man who favored quick resolutions.
Young-In went up to the 8th floor after receiving a call from the CEO’s secretary.
Although she had been alone with CEO Kang at Hyeseong without any issue, meeting alone with CEO Cha felt quite uncomfortable.
The reason was, what others might think. It was the conscience of the thief.
Entering the office with unease, Young-In’s legs froze.

Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
