“And you didn’t know where the handkerchief was.”
As Tae Jo listed Se Kyung’s lies, she buried her face in her hands.
I should have controlled Yoo Na’s words when she said she’d sign the contract.
“So, I was Se Kyung’s first love?”
“Stop it, please.”
Embarrassed beyond words.
Tae Jo, covering his mouth, suppressed his laughter, watching Se Kyung’s ears turn red.
If it’s such a lie, I’d gladly fall for it again and again. But really, what should I do with this adorable cat?
“Look at me.”
Tae Jo gently pulled her hands down. Se Kyung slowly lifted her head, her face a mix of confusion and embarrassment.
“Can I kiss you now?”
“What, what are you doing?”
Se Kyung stammered, flustered.
This is a meeting room. What if employees see us?
As she struggled to speak, Tae Jo glanced outside the meeting room and leaned in.
Touch.
In a brief moment, Tae Jo’s lips softly pressed against Se Kyung’s. Close enough to see each other’s eyes, he bit her lips lightly, as if longing for more.
“What if the employees see…”
“I checked, there’s no one around.”
Tae Jo reassured and looked outside again, only to lock eyes with Director Kang emerging from the management team’s office.
“…”
Director Kang’s stern gaze seemed to imply he knew what they were doing.
“Those two…”
Grinding his teeth, Director Kang seemed agitated.
Director Kang?
Caught off guard, Yoo Na turned her head, just as Tae Jo exchanged a brief nod with her.
“Let’s go.”
With a resigned sigh, Director Kang led Yoo Na away, leaving Tae Jo and Se Kyung alone in the room.
As Executive Kang intensely stared at the meeting room, Yoo Na turned her head in surprise. Tae Jo, who had been looking this way, briefly nodded at Yoo Na as their eyes met.
“Ah, let’s go,” Woo Hyun sighed in resignation.
After glaring at Tae Jo with his eyes, he trudged with Yoo Na to the other side of the meeting room.
Yoo Na, having signed with Jin Enter’s label ‘J[Dash]list,’ continued her active career, receiving care from her agency. Previously overwhelmed with managing her schedule and outfits alone, she now had some respite with the help of her manager and stylist, and even became an MC for a new program.
Se Kyung was just as busy.
The drama had reached its mid-point, gaining popularity and consistently rising in viewership, topping the charts in terms of buzz. Se Kyung’s role as a chaebol heiress meant that her on-screen attire and accessories naturally became a topic of discussion.
Though filming had finished months ago and some products were no longer in stores, inquiries about them continued to come in steadily.
As a result, even before the drama concluded, Se Kyung started receiving an overflow of advertisements and scripts.
Executive Kang, looking at the mountain of scripts as tall as himself, felt great regret. Se Kyung’s pregnancy meant she couldn’t immediately commit to any filming projects.
Naturally, his resentment turned towards Tae Jo. However, since Tae Jo controlled his salary, he couldn’t confront him outright.
Given the circumstances, Se Kyung was looking at scripts for projects with more flexible shooting schedules.
“Sister, should we buy something to eat here and take it with us?” Je Hoon suggested, pointing to a cafe as they drove towards Sangam-dong.
“Let’s do that. I wonder what Yoo Na ate?”
“Maybe Joo Hyung bought her something, or for Yoo Na too.”
“Alright, let’s buy plenty. If there’s extra, we can give it to others, or keep it as a snack for us.”
“Okay. Then, I’ll buy some sandwiches and coffee. You like fruit juice, right, sister?”
“Yes.”
Quickly grasping Se Kyung’s preferences, Je Hoon parked the car near the cafe. He turned on the hazard lights and got out, asking Se Kyung to wait a moment before entering the cafe.
…
About five minutes later, as Se Kyung was reading a script in the car, she began to shift her body uncomfortably.
She had just finished a shoot at the Namyangju Studio earlier in the morning. Sitting in the car all the way to Seoul had made her body feel stiff and sore.
After about five minutes, Se Kyung, who was in the car looking over the script, twisted and turned her listless body.
She had just come from a shoot at Namyangju Studio that morning. Sitting in the car all the way to Seoul, her body felt stiff and sore.
Se Kyung, peeking out the window, saw Je Hoon standing at the counter and got out of the car.
While she was stretching to loosen her stiff body, people who recognized Se Kyung approached her.
“Excuse me… Could we take a photo together?”
“Yes, of course.”
Se Kyung responded with a smile to the cautiously asking person. Then, people who had been standing at a distance gathered around her.
It was while Se Kyung was taking photos and exchanging greetings with a few people, a strong scent of perfume wafted in the air. Suddenly, someone forcefully bumped Se Kyung’s shoulder as they passed.
“Ah!”
The impact was strong enough to jolt her shoulder back. Se Kyung, caught off-guard, staggered about to fall, but Je Hoon, coming out of the café, quickly rushed to her.
“Sister!”
Je Hoon caught Se Kyung, who was nearly falling, with one arm. Clutching her shoulder, Se Kyung looked at the woman standing in front of her.
Long wavy hair, black sunglasses, and deep red lipstick. The woman exuded a strong presence.
“Watch where you’re going. Anyone would think this is your territory,” the woman said disdainfully, looking down at Se Kyung and dusting off her shoulder as if something filthy had touched it.
It was a tone of criticism for Se Kyung blocking the way while taking photos. Je Hoon, upon seeing this, angrily shouted.
“Hey, what are you saying! You’re the one who deliberately bumped into…”
“Je Hoon.”
Se Kyung, holding Je Hoon’s arm, stopped him from getting angry. Se Kyung glanced at the woman once and slightly relaxed her hardened face.
“Sorry. It seems I was blocking the way.”
“…”
“Please go ahead.”
Se Kyung stepped aside to make way.
The surrounding people murmured, glancing at the woman. Je Hoon also glared at the woman’s face.
“Hmph.”
As if dismissing their reactions, the woman snorted and walked past Se Kyung into the café. Se Kyung, sighing softly, smiled towards the people to lighten the frozen atmosphere.
The woman, scoffing as if unimpressed, walked past Se Kyung into the café. Se Kyung, sighing softly, smiled at the people to thaw the frozen air around.
As Se Kyung got into the car after greeting her fans, Je Hoon, who followed her to the driver’s seat, grumbled.
“Why did you stop me? It was her fault.”
“There were a lot of people around; no need to make a big deal out of it. Besides, it’s tiring to get involved with such people.”
“I know, but… it’s just so frustrating! It’s like the guilty party getting angry. Can you believe someone like her? Clearly, she bumped into you on purpose!”
Je Hoon set down a coffee and a shopping bag in the passenger seat and took hold of the steering wheel.
“But sister, didn’t that person look familiar to you?”
“Did you think so too?”
Je Hoon, meeting her eyes in the rearview mirror, nodded once.
Although she couldn’t be certain due to the sunglasses, Se Kyung also felt that the woman’s appearance wasn’t unfamiliar. If Je Hoon also felt he had seen her before, she might be someone from this industry.
“Hmm.”
Where had they seen that person before?

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
