The Season of Prettiest You (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 53

Taeseok’s hospitalization was carried out swiftly and discreetly.

Under the director’s quick judgment—that rumors of the lead actor getting injured during filming would do no good—a gag order was issued to the entire staff.

They knew they couldn’t silence everyone indefinitely, but they hoped to buy at least enough time until Taeseok regained consciousness.

“…Don’t make such a fuss.”

After throwing just that single line at Manager Hong, who had nearly burst in crying, Taeseok passed out.

Director Lee personally went to the hospital to complete the admission procedures and urged the medical staff to maintain confidentiality. He then left the ward to handle the aftermath of the accident, including disciplining those responsible for providing the defective vehicle. He repeatedly stressed to Manager Hong to call him immediately if anything happened.

Alone in the room, Manager Hong rubbed his face roughly and muttered a curse under his breath.

“But why won’t you wake up, you bastard.”

Manager Hong sighed, gazing resentfully at Taeseok, who hadn’t regained consciousness all day. The moment Taeseok’s car lifted into the air, it felt as if the whole world had shattered—making him realize anew just how precious this friend was to him.

“You don’t need to realize that kind of thing—just don’t ever pull a stunt like this again.”

After grumbling with his hoarse voice, Manager Hong deliberated for a long while before finally calling Ji Hyeonjeong.
