“Why lie to a senior like that? I really went home and made a call.”
If Sehyuk heard, he would probably ask who received a call and who received a message.
“It was a joke.”
Youngin replied seriously and diverted the topic to avoid blushing.
“There’s no schedule today, but why are you at the company from the morning?”
“I woke up early, had nothing to do, so I came to hang out.”
“I have a meeting in 20 minutes.”
“I got it. I’ll send you off in 15 minutes.”
Youngin nodded and lowered her gaze to the table.
The coffee in the cup felt as black as someone’s gaze.
“Youngin.”
Youngin looked up again and met Jinkyo’s gaze.
It was fascinating. Even though they shared the same name, why did it feel so different depending on who was calling?
On one hand, she was curious. Why did her heart flutter only when Chah Sehyuk called?
Realizing she had unintentionally thought of him again, Youngin chuckled inwardly. This was indeed the “Chah Sehyuk effect.”
“There’s something I want to ask you.”
“Yes.”
“Do I look like someone lacking in your eyes or someone complete?”
“Senior, you have everything. Looks, wealth, and even personality.”
Despite the discomfort of Jinkyo’s question, she genuinely felt that way.
“He said President Cha is a perfect man. If perfection is so good, why don’t I like it?”
“I do like it.”
“You know I didn’t mean it that way.”
“I said I liked it because he’s perfect, but that’s also why I didn’t like it.”
“Even your contradictory emotions are enviable.”
“…”
Youngin stared at him, feeling a sense of disappointment.
“Do you still like Chah Sehyuk a lot?”
“Yes.”
A bitter smile spread across Jinkyo’s face. Even if Youngin had said she didn’t, he wouldn’t have believed it. But hearing the unhesitant response made him feel deflated.
“But why won’t he accept you?”
“I lack the courage.”
“What kind of courage?”
“The courage to handle such an outstanding man.”
Jinkyo sighed dramatically.
“Do you know what it feels like to be Chah before confessing?”
“…”
“It’s not great at all.”
“…”
“Would it be better to confess before the difference between Chah and me becomes more apparent?”
“No.”
Youngin interjected sharply, blocking his self-questioning.
She didn’t want to compete with Sehyuk, who was already hard enough to deal with.
Exiting the executive office and heading to the Management Team 2, Heeran exchanged brief greetings with the team members before leaving the office.
A woman with a makeup-free face and hair tied tightly to her shoulders followed Heeran. She was Hyunshim, the team leader and Heeran’s manager.
The two walked side by side in the corridor.
“How’s the president?”
“Arrogant. Stiff.”
Heeran didn’t mention anything positive besides those words.
“Why wouldn’t he be? He’s the heir of the SL Group.”
Another haughty and stiff person came to Heeran’s mind.
“Oh, by the way, I saw him on my way to the office.”
“Who?”
“The one who came from Hyesung.”
“Chae Youngin?”
“Oh, right. Chae Youngin. She was with Jinkyo oppa.”
“Good for her. How did she manage to make Seo Jinkyo come on his own?”
Both of them roughly knew the process of how Jinkyo signed a contract with SL Entertainment.
“She’s pretty half and half.”
“Is there no one prettier around Jinkyo? Seeing how uninterested he is in you, it’s not just about looks.”
“Then maybe she has exceptional skills in seducing men.”
Heeran recalled the encounter with Youngin but didn’t know much about her.
Nevertheless, the reason for disliking Youngin was purely because of Hyunsim. It was due to hearing a lot of negative things about her, such as being impudent and rude.
Youngin had spent a few months on the field shortly after joining Hyesung Entertainment to understand how the industry worked. She first met Hyunsim as the manager of an actor appearing in the same movie at that time. Hyunsim was a manager with six years of experience back then.
At that time, by chance, Youngin’s educational background was revealed. Everyone reacted with, “Why did someone from such a good university become a field manager?”
Even though Hyunsim knew that Youngin didn’t boast about her education, she couldn’t help but feel irritated. While justifying herself, thinking, “Is there anything as meaningless as education in this field?” inwardly, she felt ashamed of her own educational background as a high school graduate. It was because she had always had a complex about her education. Youngin’s not-so-friendly personality also felt like showing off.
What was even more galling was that she had climbed to the position of a team leader in just seven years after joining the company.
“Unni, she’s twenty-seven, right?”
“Yeah, the same age as you.”
The vibration of Heeran’s mobile phone rang when the two were in the elevator.
As if asking when she ever cursed others, Heeran answered the phone with a frustrated voice.
“Yeah, oppa.”
On the screen of her mobile phone were the four letters ‘Changgeun Oppa.’

It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
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: “…”
