“Yes, it has. I haven’t been to the shooting locations lately. But I always keep up with your works, Director Cha.”
“You don’t need to keep up with them. Just watch them. Anyway, are we going straight to lunch after the press conference? Just with me and Writer Gong?”
“Yes. We have a reservation at the Korean restaurant in this hotel. You can head up right after it’s over.”
“What exactly do you want to discuss with just Writer Gong and me? Did CEO Jin acquire the rights to some good content?”
Director Song smiled quietly at Director Cha’s misinterpretation.
“Oh, look, there’s Writer Gong and the other actors.”
As Director Cha waved, Se Kyung looked behind. Writer Gong and three other actors from the drama were approaching.
“Hello.”
“Long time no see, Se Kyung. How have you been?”
The male lead actor of the drama greeted Se Kyung warmly. Meanwhile, Director Cha clapped his hands to get everyone’s attention.
“Let’s head in now. The reporters have been waiting.”
As the banquet hall doors opened, Se Kyung followed Director Cha inside.
Flashes went off in all directions. After a brief photo session on stage, the MC introduced the production crew and actors.
The press conference was conducted in a relaxed atmosphere.
Writer Gong talked about the story while Director Cha shared anecdotes from the set. Se Kyung and the other actors responded and added related content.
During the Q&A session, a reporter raised his hand and asked.
“I have a question for Yoon Se Kyung. Before ‘Elegant Family’ airs, ‘Flowers of Destruction,’ featuring your former group member Ji Eun Jae, will be broadcast. Does that concern you?”
It was a tricky question, any slip-up would become a headline.
“If I say it doesn’t bother me… that would be a lie.”
Se Kyung licked her lips slightly, making a slightly awkward face, causing laughter in the audience.
“I’m also curious about how she will perform. Both dramas have their unique charms, so viewers can enjoy either depending on their taste.”
“Which drama do you think will get higher ratings?”
Such an obvious question…
“I would say ‘Elegant Family.’ I really wanted to do it from the moment I read the script. The on-set atmosphere was great, and I think it will yield good results.”
After putting down the microphone, Se Kyung turned her head. CEO Jin was standing next to Director Song, having arrived at some point.
Their eyes met, and he waved his hand with a smile.
“Next question, please.”
As soon as the MC finished speaking, hands shot up everywhere, grabbing microphones. Se Kyung occasionally glanced towards Tae Jo as she continued with the interviews.
After about an hour, the press conference, which included the teaser and highlight videos, came to an end.
As everything wrapped up, Director Cha stood up and headed towards the center of the stage.
“Thank you all for coming today. We hope for good coverage of our drama.”
Director Cha cheerfully greeted and left the stage. Following the journalists’ request, the actors had one more photo session.
“Se Kyung, over here! Please look this way!”
Requests to look in every direction were coming in thick and fast.
Despite the blinding flashes and aching legs, Se Kyung managed to finish the shoot by changing her position gradually.
“Thank you.”
After thanking the journalists, Se Kyung walked towards the stairs. It was at that moment, as she descended the stairs and saw Tae Jo standing beside them, that something unexpected happened.
‘Oh?’
Her ankle twisted, and her legs buckled, almost sending her tumbling forward. A short scream rang out from somewhere as Se Kyung started to fall.
“Whoa, whoa! Careful, Se Kyung…!”
Just as Director Song’s face came into view, her vision went dark, and she felt her face bury into something.
“Be careful.”
A deep, calm voice came from above her, and Se Kyung opened her eyes, which she had squeezed shut.
She wasn’t in pain. Instead, she felt a familiar scent and the firm grasp of arms around her waist.
“Are you okay?”
Tae Jo loosened his grip that had been holding Se Kyung. As her feet touched the ground, she nodded, still looking dazed.
“Wow, that was close. Are you okay, Se Kyung? If it weren’t for the CEO, that could have been bad.”
Director Song loudly checked on Se Kyung, who had just been caught by Tae Jo.
Se Kyung looked up at Tae Jo, who was still holding her arm. His gaze seemed focused on something behind her.
‘Huh? What is he looking at…?’
With a puzzled tilt of her head, Se Kyung turned around to see the male actor from her drama standing there.
“What are you doing?”
“Uh? No, I was going to catch Se Kyung.”
Apparently trying to catch Se Kyung as she fell, he stood awkwardly with his arm still outstretched, smiling sheepishly.
“Let’s go.”
Tae Jo nodded towards the actor and turned, walking away with Se Kyung.
On the 23rd floor of the hotel, in a Korean restaurant.
The food, pre-ordered, was neatly laid out on a long table. Director Cha, who hadn’t eaten since morning, began to eat first.
“Se Kyung, is your leg okay?”
Writer Gong asked worriedly, having been startled by Se Kyung’s near fall.
“Yes, I’m fine. I’m wearing lower heels now.”
“Lucky Jin CEO caught you quickly. But, Se Kyung, the photos of you nearly falling were all taken.”
“Really?”
“Yes. CEO Jin was partially in the frame. A journalist I know asked if he was your personal guard.”
Writer Gong smiled at Tae Jo. It was only their third direct interaction, but he thought Tae Jo’s looks were too good to be just a company CEO.
“So, what’s this all about? Setting up this lunch just for us?”
Director Cha asked while chewing on sliced tteokgalbi. Tae Jo glanced at Se Kyung and then spoke to the two.
“It’s about time for the drama’s broadcast, and Se Kyung said she has something to tell you both.”
“Something to tell us?”
Writer Gong and Director Cha turned their attention to Se Kyung. Director Cha, holding a glass of water, urged her to speak.
“Don’t be shocked.”
“Why start with a warning like that?”
“Oh, shush!”
Director Cha’s retort was met with a soft slap from Writer Gong. Se Kyung took a deep breath and then spoke.
“I’m pregnant.”
“……What?”
“Cough.”
Writer Gong’s eyes widened in surprise. Director Cha, drinking water, choked on it, completely taken aback.
“Wh-when did you… Woah!”
“Director Cha, please lower your voice. Everyone outside will hear you.”
Writer Gong covered Director Cha’s mouth with her hand as he spoke loudly.
‘This is really something. What should I ask first?’
Uncertain where to start, she glanced at Tae Jo and then asked Se Kyung.
“Se Kyung, did you get married without us knowing?”

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.]
