“…?”
Se-gyeong stared intently at the woman behind the man. The woman, who had greeted the staff, turned her gaze to Se-gyeong’s direction as if she knew Se-gyeong was there.
As if she knew Se-gyeong was here, Oyeori, with a relaxed smile, met her eyes.
“It seems like there were instructions from the higher-ups. Oyeori is also shooting with us this time.”
They were having lunch in the room provided by the magazine after finishing the morning shoot. Manager Song, who had asked Manager Moon how Oyeori ended up here, revealed the behind-the-scenes story.
“Who was the person who came with her?”
“The big man, right? He’s Vice President Ahn from A&J Entertainment. Since our company didn’t agree, it seems they made a contract with them.”
“A&J Entertainment?”
Se-gyeong giggled at the familiar company name.
“Oh, isn’t that where Ju-hee used to be affiliated with…?”
“Yes, that’s right. The company where Im Ju-hee is affiliated. When I called her after the incident with Ju-hee’s YouTube video, it was that shameless CEO.”
What kind of grudge do they have against us?
With frustration building up, Manager Song clenched his fist. While Jehoon cleared away the lunch box, Manager Song’s phone rang.
“Yes. Manager Moon. We’ve finished our lunch. Oh, okay. Got it. We’ll be up in about 10 minutes.”
After a brief call, Manager Song turned to Se-gyeong.
“He asked if you had a good meal. If you’ve finished, come up slowly.”
Glancing at her watch, Se-gyeong opened her mouth.
“Shall we go up now?”
“Now? Is it okay not to rest a bit?”
“It’s okay. I just want to finish the shoot quickly for now.”
In response to Se-gyeong’s awkward smile, Manager Song nodded as if understanding her feelings.
“It must be a bit uncomfortable, right? With Oyeori being in the same place.”
“Yeah, a bit. We didn’t run into each other in the morning, but being in the same space makes me continuously aware.”
“Then let’s quickly finish the remaining shoot and leave. I’ll ask Manager Moon to speed things up.”
Oyeori was bothering Manager Song as much as she was bothering him. After Se-gyeong finished her preparations, Manager Song, who called Jehoon again, headed back to the rooftop pool.
The other team was still having lunch, and there weren’t many people at the entrance of the shooting team. Se-gyeong confirmed that Oyeori was not around and walked to where her shooting team was.
“Se-gyeong, sit here for a moment. I’ll make a quick call and be back.”
Manager Song, shaking his phone, left for a moment. Se-gyeong, sitting on the sunbed, got up after looking around for a while.
“Oh? Where is noona going?”
When Jehoon tried to follow her, Se-gyeong raised her hand, saying it was okay.
“You stay here. I’m going to walk around a bit because my stomach feels a bit upset.”
“Even without Manager Song. I’ll stay by your side. What if something happens?”
“I’m not a baby. Don’t worry. I’ll just walk back and forth in front of here. You go and check my outfit.”
Se-gyeong tapped Jehoon’s shoulder lightly. He watched Se-gyeong walking around the pool for a moment and then ran to the makeup room when Manager Moon called him.
“Phew.”
Walking slowly, Se-gyeong stared at the shooting team on the opposite side.
Whether it was because Manager Song was next to her, or maybe because the shoot was progressing rapidly. Contrary to her worries, Oyeori hadn’t come across her throughout the morning shoot.
Was the eerie gaze she saw then just her imagination?
“Well, if we get through today safely, we won’t have to meet them anymore…”
Having reached the end of the pool and turned back, Se-gyeong suddenly froze. It was because she found a woman staring at her from behind a pillar.
“…?”
When did she start being there?
With a tense expression, Se-gyeong glanced at the woman behind the pillar and resumed walking.
Hoping that the woman wouldn’t come near, as Se-gyeong reached the middle of the pool, Oyeori blocked her path as if waiting for her.
“How have you been, Ms. Yoon Se-gyeong?”
Oyeori greeted with a bright smile.
What is she trying to say now?
Se-gyeong, who sighed inwardly, looked at Oyeori.
“Yes. But if you could step aside a bit…”
Even in response to Se-gyeong’s words, Oyeori remained like a wall without moving.
As the frustrated Se-gyeong tried to turn aside, Oyeori, stepping in sync with her, blocked Se-gyeong’s way.
“What are you doing now?”
“I looked into you, Ms. Se-gyeong.”
Oyeori casually ignored Se-gyeong’s words. Se-gyeong frowned at the mention of looking into her.
“You say your mother was in the same situation as you, Ms. Se-gyeong?”
As Se-gyeong reacted to my words, Oyeori pursed her lips and laughed.
The same situation? Wondering what that meant, Se-gyeong gave her a puzzled look.
“It means she got married because of a child and divorced shortly after.”
“Hey, Oyeori.”
Se-gyeong spat out Oyeori’s name as if chewing it. Oyeori shrugged her shoulders, as if asking what she said wrong.
“Since the last time, it feels like you keep crossing the line.”

really disliked him
