A few days later, Young-in encountered Seungchan in front of the company parking lot elevator on her way back after meeting the film production director.
“Young-in Team Leader.”
It was the first time seeing him since his birthday.
“Ah, Mr. Seungchan.”
Although still harboring the anger from the blatant attacks during the drinking game, Young-in showed no sign of it externally.
“I came to the company to move together and also to properly tour the company.”
Today was the day for the Management Team 5’s gathering. Whether an employee or an actor, anyone from Team 5 could attend.
“Hyesung was really meticulous, but just looking at the parking lot here makes my heart swell.”
“…”
Young-in felt uncomfortable due to him belittling her first job. Even if it were true, she had no intention of sympathizing.
“Oh, by the way, Team Leader. What happened last time?”
“What do you mean?”
“On my birthday, why did you leave without a word? I was going to pick you up.”
There was a tinge of regret on Seungchan’s face.
“Someone came to pick me up.”
Even if there was no one to pick her up, she swallowed the words that she wouldn’t let him take her home.
“Who?”
Even if Young-in claimed that there was no one to pick her up, she internally swallowed the words that you wouldn’t have taken me home even if there were.
“Who?”
The sound of the elevator arriving echoed at that moment.
Reflexively turning to look at the elevator, Young-in paused.
Just as the tiger comes if you mention it, Seungchan’s question filled her field of vision.
“Team Leader Chae, what are you doing here?”
Seunghyuk’s gaze, descending from the elevator, was directed not at Young-in, the subject of the question, but at Seungchan.
“I happened to meet Mr. Seungchan and was chatting briefly, sir.”
A bright smile crossed Seungchan’s face upon realizing the identity of the man piercing through with his gaze.
“Oh, you’re the president. Hello. I’m actor Ji Seungchan.”
He remained cheerful, unaware that Seunghyuk was staring at him intently. If they had ended the greetings there, it would have been better, but Seungchan, not satisfied, went on to utter words that dramatically cooled the atmosphere.
“Look forward to it, sir. I’ll make a lot of money for you in the future.”
Young-in’s pupils fluctuated significantly.
View him as an enthusiastic rookie.
Whether her earnest wish was conveyed or not, Seunghyuk uttered a quite calm statement.
“How much time is left in the contract period?”
“The contract period? There’s about a year left, right?”
“To earn a lot over the next year, you’ll have to work very hard.”
“Don’t worry. I have the intention to renew.”
Seungchan, of course, as well as Young-in, couldn’t grasp the intention behind Seunghyuk’s words.
“In fact, after Hyesung’s contract ends, I was thinking of moving to a large agency.”
Seungchan had been interested in SL Entertainment for a while. Since Hyesung was absorbed into SL, there was no need for him to actively seek another agency. However, there was one thing he overlooked.
“I hope you move to a good place.”
“What?”
“SL has no intention of renewing with Mr. Ji Seungchan.”
A one-sided intention for renewal cannot be realized.
“……What?”
Seungchan stared at Seunghyuk’s expressionless face in disbelief.
‘I can’t survive.’
Unbeknownst to Seungchan, Young-in let out a sigh of resignation.
Apart from the confusion, she thought Seunghyuk was very true to himself. Anyway, he was a man with experience that could disturb people.
Even after Seunghyuk left, Young-in took the bewildered Seungchan to the office for a while.
Having regained his composure, he grabbed Haeyoon and belatedly vented his frustration.
“What kind of president is he? Who does he think he is to say there’s no intention to renew?”
“If the president says there’s no intention to renew, then it’s over.”
Pouting with innocent eyes was Haeyoon’s specialty. It was retaliation for Seungchan complaining so much on his birthday when he sent Young-in home first and returned alone.
“No, how can the president of any agency treat an artist who makes a lot of money like this?”
“Do you really think of yourself as an artist who makes a lot of money?”
Seungchan’s face twisted with displeasure.
“Hae-yoon, you’re saying strange things. Objectively, isn’t my revenue sufficient for a contract renewal?”
“That’s right. I don’t think it’s to that extent, but President, do you think it is? Or is there something else you don’t like aside from revenue?”
Quick-witted Hae-yoon noticed why Seung-hyuk treated him that way.
“Something else?”
“Personality? Or appearance?”
Seung-chan squinted. He didn’t like the reason he was out of favor with the president being revenue, but he disliked appearance and personality even more.
“Aish, what if the president goes around cursing me behind my back? It would be a big problem if there were issues with casting.”
While silently cheering for Hae-yoon who was skillfully demonstrating his skills, Young-in sensed that it was time for her to step in.
Male lead is a clingy little husband
One-line summary: The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
Introduction:
One day, Lu Yuner’s soul transmigrates into a female-dominant world. She enters the Imperial Academy and takes up the position of a doctoral instructor, teaching classes and grading schoolwork.
One day, she encounters the young prince Su Qingwan secretly skipping class from the male academy.
As a result, Su Qingwan is punished.
From then on, Su Qingwan sees Lu Yuner as a “thorn in his side”.
But before long, this “thorn” becomes the person he cherishes most, and he goes to great lengths to win Lu Yuner’s affection.
Mini scene 1:
One day, the sun is high in the sky but Su Qingwan still hasn’t gotten up for class.
Servant Xiaoyuan: “Young prince, it’s time for class. You’ll be late otherwise.”
Su Qingwan says arrogantly: “I’m not going. I am the esteemed prince, my status is so noble, why should I suffer this hardship? Besides, isn’t learning all this just to please women? Hmph, they’re not worthy!”
Mini scene 2:
After Su Qingwan falls for someone, he completely changes. He no longer skips class and diligently learns how to be a good husband and father. But he discovers that Sister Yuner is always surrounded by admirers.
Drunk and overcome with jealousy one day, he clings to Lu Yuner, crying beautifully like a pear blossom in the rain.
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan likes Sister Yuner.”
Lu Yuner: “Young prince, you’re drunk.”
Su Qingwan: “Qingwan isn’t drunk. Qingwan likes Sister Yuner, likes you so much, likes you to bits…” Before he can finish, Lu Yuner’s eyes flash with emotion and she leans in closer.
[Reading Guide]
1. The female lead is gentle, gracious, humble and polite but not weak. The male lead is initially an arrogant, noble, love-deprived brat, later a cute, clingy, scheming little jealous one.
2. 1v1, a bit torturous in the beginning but definitely sweet later on.
