Sung-Hyuk had always been indifferent to the entertainment industry. Having spent three years in the United States, it was only natural that he knew even less about Korean actors than before.
Though he had now familiarized himself with the entertainers under SL Entertainment, he still didn’t know much about celebrities from other companies. The reason he recognized the tall man before him was because he was too famous to ignore.
Seo Jin-Kyo.
Thirty years old, the same age as Sung-Hyuk, Seo Jin-Kyo was popular among all age groups for his outstanding acting skills and upright appearance. The constant flow of warm anecdotes from fellow actors, staff, and fans made it strange for him not to be popular.
However, Sung-Hyuk found him disagreeable. They had never exchanged a word, but a sense of rivalry boiled within him.
“I saw your back in the bathroom and thought it was you. Indeed, I can’t fail to recognize Chae Young-In.”
The sweet smile Seo Jin-Kyo sent to Young-In was irritating, and
“Senior, you were here too.”
The fact that he and Seo Jin-Kyo were called by the same honorifics by Young-In was intolerably vexing.
Young-In calling Oh Chang-Geun ‘brother’ was annoying, but calling Seo Jin-Kyo ‘senior’ was equally irritating. Of course, it would have been the same if she had called Seo Jin-Kyo ‘brother’.
In short, both different and the same honorifics were all unsatisfactory to him. His instinct considered any man with even a slight acquaintance with Chae Young-In as an enemy.
In fact, Young-In didn’t place much importance on honorifics. The standard for addressing celebrities was very simple.
For younger and same-age colleagues, it was “Mr./Ms. [Name],” and for older ones, “senior,” “senior manager,” or “teacher.” Unlike other managers, she didn’t use “sister” or “brother.”
“What’s up? Are you two on a date?”
Sung-Hyuk read a wary look in Jin-Kyo’s eyes as he glanced over at him.
“It’s not that. He is our CEO.”
“CEO?”
Young-In’s gaze shifted from Jin-Kyo to Sung-Hyuk.
“CEO, this is actor Seo Jin-Kyo.”
Jin-Kyo was the first to extend a greeting.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Seo Jin-Kyo.”
Jin-Kyo was aware that the second son of the SL Group had become the CEO of SL Entertainment. Rumors of his movie star-like appearance were widespread, but seeing him in person, Jin-Kyo had to admit it was true.
“I’m Cha Sung-Hyuk.”
As soon as the introductions were over, Jin-Kyo turned back to Young-In with a smile.
“I was surprised, thinking you were on a date.”
Before Young-In could say anything, a bland voice interjected.
“Why would that be surprising?”
Jin-Kyo momentarily hesitated before looking back at Sung-Hyuk.
“It would be natural to be surprised if a woman promised in marriage was seen dating another man.”
“Promised in marriage?”
Sung-Hyuk frowned, and Young-In’s eyes widened.
“Senior, why are you saying such strange things?”
“It’s true. We agreed to get married if I’m still single by forty.”
“I never agreed to that.”
“You laughed at the time. A laugh means agreement.”
Sung-Hyuk threw a blunt remark.
“You can also laugh out of sheer absurdity.”
It was a statement born of experience. He remembered when Young-In had burst into laughter at his impromptu proposal to replace Oh Chang-Geun at a blind date.
Jin-Kyo lightly changed the subject with a smile.
“SL Entertainment must have very good welfare. Bringing an employee to such a place.”
“It is true that our welfare is good, but not every employee gets to come here.”
“Are you saying Young-In is special?”
“Yes.”
“……”
“Very much so.”
As the two men exchanged subtly sharp dialogue, Young-In, watching them with a worried look, intervened to lighten the atmosphere.
“What brings you here, Senior?”
“The Last Supper.”
“Ah, a final meal with your agency family?”
“Typical Chae Young-In. Always on the mark.”
Jin-Kyo gave a thumbs-up, prompting Young-In’s eyes to curl up in a smile.
“Aren’t you going to ask where I signed a contract?”
“Where did you sign?”
The moment rumors spread about Seo Jin-Kyo not renewing his contract with his agency, top management companies jumped into a fierce recruitment battle. However, no one knew yet which company he had decided to join.
“I haven’t signed yet. I will soon. You’ll find out where shortly, just wait a bit.”
Then, Sung-Hyuk, who had been silent, spoke up.
“The elevator’s here.”
He entered first and held the elevator door open.
“I’ll go, senior. Please get in.”
“Go ahead. I’ll call you.”
The two men exchanged a light bow as a form of greeting, one inside and the other outside the elevator.
As soon as Young-In entered, Sung-Hyuk released the door button. The closing doors framed Jin-Kyo’s retreating figure.
“Where’s your car parked?”
“Underground level three.”
The elevator, now fully closed, began its descent to the third underground level. The two remained silent until they reached the parking lot and got into the car.
Breaking the silence, Sung-Hyuk asked.
“Are you close with Seo Jin-Kyo?”
“Yes.”

“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
