No. My husband knows that I want to return to broadcasting, so if I want to, I can.
“But what’s your worry?”
Well, the fact that I accepted without much thought? That’s how broadcasting is. There are people who curse even if you do well, and if you don’t, they curse at you from all sides. I’ve been in the entertainment industry for a long time, so I’m somewhat immune to such things. But my husband is an office worker. What if he gets hurt by the curses from strangers?
The sigh that came out of her mouth carried worries. Well, Se Kyung also had been shocked when she first debuted and received hateful comments.
Why can’t you dance anything but that? Go practice your vocals more. You’re a nuisance, get out of the team. Etc.
Those were the mild comments. When Se Kyung established herself as an actress and the team disbanded due to contract expiration, all kinds of curses swarmed in.
You’re ditching the team because one member became popular, because of you the other members can’t do their activities and are suffering.
People say to ignore them, how can everyone like me, but even after 10 years in the entertainment industry, she couldn’t get used to the hateful comments.
Of course, there’s no need to get used to them either.
“Did you talk to Mr. Wonho about this? You’re worried about things like that.”
Yes, dozens of times more. He says it doesn’t matter to him. He doesn’t even use SNS anyway.
Hmm, it’s not just about SNS…
Wait, so are you saying I should take the blame? I use SNS and YouTube too?
This guy, really! As Yuna let out a yell, Se Kyung laughed.
“Why worry about being criticized first? You could be praised for doing well, and your area of activity could expand.”
It’s just that it’s been too long.
“So have you decided to go ahead with it?”
Yep! I’m reporting to you before calling PD Nim. After all, this opportunity came thanks to you.
“Why is it thanks to me? It’s just that the timing was right.”
I met PD Nim after meeting you. Oh, my lucky charm. So, Se Kyung, can I ask you a favor?
“A favor? What kind of favor?”
Can you come with me when I have a meeting with PD Nim? While we’re at it, you can also put some fear into my husband.
Since Yuna was not affiliated with any agency at the moment, she had to take care of everything from one to ten herself.
“Sure, if there’s nothing special going on.”
Can you let me know your schedule for this week and next week then? So we can try to match our times.
Se Kyung agreed and ended the call. She then found the screenshot of her schedule and sent it to Yuna.
“Oh, I’m going to be late.”
After checking the time, Se Kyung picked up her car keys and headed down to the parking lot. She input the address that Tae Jo had sent her into the navigation system and slowly turned the steering wheel.
The place Tae Jo had asked Se Kyung to come to was a restaurant run by a famous chef who often appeared on broadcasts.
Upon reaching her destination, she doublechecked the restaurant name and the message Tae Jo had sent.
After parking her car in the spacious parking lot and entering, a manager dressed in a neat uniform greeted Se Kyung.
“Welcome. Did you make a reservation?”
“Yes, I’d like to check under the name Jin Tae Jo.”
Se Kyung bit her tongue slightly. Every time she called him President, calling him by his name somehow made her throat feel itchy.
“Ah, your companion has already arrived. This way, please. I will guide you.”
Se Kyung, who had nodded her head, followed behind the manager.
The far end of a privately divided room. The manager who had stopped in front of it knocked and opened the door.
“Have you arrived?”
As Se Kyung entered, Tae Jo raised his hand as if to welcome her. Also in the room was the restaurant’s ownerchef, dressed in a black chef’s uniform.
“Have you been waiting long?”
“No. I just got here.”
The manager who took her coat pulled out a chair for Se Kyung. She greeted the chef and took a seat.
“He was just introducing the menu.”
Tae Jo handed Se Kyung the menu he had been looking at.
“Look through it and choose whatever you want to eat. We usually order the chef’s recommended course here, but you might have something else you want.”
“Does the food vary greatly?”
“It’s a bit different. First of all, the chef’s recommended course comes with a crab meat soup, and the main dish, steak, is served with additional special cuts on top of the sirloin. The accompanying sauces also increase by two. For dessert, you can choose between tiramisu and tart made by us. You can even have both.”
Se Kyung once again glanced over the menu after carefully listening to the chef’s words.
“Then let’s order two of the chef’s recommendations. What do you think?”
“Yes. I like that too.”
“What about alcohol? Should we order a bottle of wine?”
“No, that’s fine. I drove here…….”
Se Kyung raised her hand to decline. Despite that, as if he still wanted to order something else, Tae Jo added an ade from the beverage menu.
“We will prepare it right away.”
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
Warnings:
- Male pregnancy.
- Height ratios are set to mirror typical male-female height proportions.
- Characters include a foot-loving demon lord and an eldest daughter from an immortal family’s concubine lineage.
