If Jihyunjeong claims maliciously that this video is Seo Taeseok and steps forward, Taeseok’s damage would be beyond words, and Jihyunjeong might only end up paying a fine for false information dissemination. With a good lawyer, it could even be lighter than that.

Just a fine. It won’t be that easy. At least I’ll make her rot for ten years.

Aside from that, a crazy thought, a twisted selfishness, raised its head again. Taeseok felt a strange delight that this video seemed to be evidence of Yeoreum’s love.

How much must she love herself to endure all this…?

In the midst of this, despite being happy about it, he felt pathetic. But, originally, if it were Seo Taeseok, he was an irreparable guy.

In the end, after all the thoughts, Taeseok missed Yeoreum too much.

Taeseok started to tidy up the place.

“Jihyunjeong won’t just bury this video. Considering what I’m going to do next, it will be even worse.”

“Yeah.”

“Before that, let’s think about how we can make a preemptive move.”

“Yeah.”

“Oh, by the way!”
K suddenly shouted as if he remembered something.

“I found something. Taeseok. Remember I talked about Ji Hyunjeong hacking your phone two years ago?”

“Yeah. That blue rabbit thing…”

“It’s a blue elephant!”

“Oh.”

“Ji Hyunjeong probably didn’t hack it herself. She must have asked someone to do it, and I found out who.”

“!”

“Listen. There’s a player famous for wiretapping in this field. I don’t know much. He retired already before I started this, but he was a very famous player for wiretapping. He got arrested while doing a job for a congressman, but he was released much earlier than expected.”

He found a photo by tapping the keyboard.

“Kim Goeun. Not as kind as her name suggests. You guys know her too. The woman who is always with Ji Hyunjeong. Her stage name is Bangulbaem.”

After Taeseok and Director Hong checked the monitor, they turned to face each other.

A familiar face to them. It was Secretary Kim.

“And one more thing, this woman is Ji Hyunjeong’s cousin.”

Seeing the surprised faces of his friends, K felt satisfied. Finally, he seemed pleased to be acknowledged for his abilities.

“The incident with Seo Taeseok’s money talk. It was really famous in this field. The blue elephant said she investigated it, and if Seo Taeseok’s request came in, the next day, without fail, she would get a call and they would offer double. As a price for not meeting Seo Taeseok’s demands, it was always double.”

K tapped the monitor and said.

“She’s a skilled player. This woman. At that time, she probably planted a wiretapping app on Seo Taeseok’s phone.”

When Taeseok returned to the filming set, the filming team regained its vitality.

Taeseok gave the entire team duck-down jackets as gifts and apologized to each director, personally expressing regret for leaving them for so long.

Thanks to that, the subdued atmosphere recovered instantly.

“Lighting director, I apologize for causing a disruption in the schedule.”

“Audio director, I’ll work twice as hard to make up for the lost time.”

As it was a hospitalization due to an accident, no one blamed Taeseok. However, despite that, they were quite moved when he stepped forward to apologize.

And Taeseok laughed better than ever.

“Taeseok-ssi, until last week, your condition was the worst.”

“Yeah, you seem to have recovered a lot while resting. Your stamina must be back.”

Getting back into the shooting was in an instant. As Taeseok deliberately injected vigor, the atmosphere quickly became elastic, and the progress accelerated.

After his return, Taeseok approached the filming like a monster, not metaphorically, but as if he were grinding his bones.

It was Choi Yeoreum’s drama, a work that had to be absolutely perfect. The most important thing Taeseok could do for her at the moment.

There were many secret plans in progress, but even including all of that, the most crucial thing was, of course, the drama.

Taeseok fell in love with Yeoreum at first sight when he saw her, and from then until now, he still loved her. However, this incident became an opportunity for him to learn about love once again.
Even if Yeoreumi embraces another man in front of him and says, “We’re not in a relationship at all,” he was now fully prepared to believe those words completely.

Although Jihyuk’s behavior bothered him, he didn’t want to bring up that name to Yeoreum for no reason. He believed it would be sorted out soon.

Since that day, Jihyuk never spoke to Taeseok unless it was absolutely necessary. However, he acted so subtly that none of the staff noticed the chill between them.

Well, that guy isn’t important…

“I’m perfectly happy.”

Taeseok murmured. In the end, the end of all thoughts was Yeoreum.

The director holding the megaphone was also thinking similar thoughts.

“The atmosphere on the set is good, filming is going well, the weather is good, and even the production budget is generous?”

The disciplinary action against the staff who recruited the substandard vehicle was over, and Yoo Young and Luda were no longer fighting. Since the expectations for them were not high from the beginning, just achieving that much was quite satisfactory.

Now that Taeseok had returned, everything was perfect. It couldn’t be better.

“We have plenty of time to shoot leisurely.”

Taeseok’s enthusiastic efforts were significant. The attitude and condition of the lead actor had a significant impact on the morale of all the staff.

“I’m bored. Let’s have a group dinner.”

The director, judging that there was plenty of time, said to the assistant director.

“The entire staff, all the actors, and contact writer Choi to set a date within a few days.”

“Wow. It’s not even the final episode, and we’re having a group dinner during filming.”

The assistant director said with a bright expression.

“What should we eat?”

The assistant director, who knew that the production budget had skyrocketed due to Seo Taeseok’s appearance, asked with a smile.

The director thought for a moment before saying, “Since we’re having a pleasant dinner, why not go for something good?”

“Hanwoo (Korean beef).”

“Wow, awesome. Amazing.”

The assistant director rushed off excitedly with his mouth wide open.
