Han Jin-tae knew about Hae-joo’s pregnancy.
With this fact alone, Chairman Yoo could be inferred to have secretly monitored Hae-joo.
They were more corrupt and chaotic than the reporters, yet they acted noble and aristocratic on the surface.
“Are you interested in our marital affairs?”
“Honestly, it’s a huge obstacle for film production.”
“…!”
“The lead actor of a thriller movie is pregnant. Isn’t that right, Director Kwak?”
Han Jin-tae was cunning like a snake.
Deliberately passing the arrow to Director Kwak, he prompted a response.
A faint breeze passed through Director Kwak, who had been observing the conversation between the two.
He exchanged a glance with Do-jun and delivered a dry response.
“The action scenes have already been filmed in Jeju Island.”
“…”
“After that, Hae-joo can continue acting unless she overexerts herself.”
“You didn’t modify the script for that to happen, did you?”
“What?”
“We are just expressing our thoughts after reading the director’s script.”
“Hae-joo’s pregnancy won’t change the script. If necessary, we can use a stunt double.”
Han Jin-tae, who had lowered his gaze, smiled meaningfully. Do-jun observed him closely, unable to fathom his intentions.
“It seems like you’re misunderstanding. GN is not demanding a lead change.”
“Fix your habit of rudely meddling in others’ private lives, Manager Han Jin-tae.”
Do-jun treated Han Jin-tae strictly as a subordinate.
Though Han Jin-tae might be older in age, he was just an employee under GN’s affiliation.
When Do-jun woke him up to reality, Han Jin-tae’s pupils contracted noticeably.
“If I made a mistake, please forgive me.”
“Don’t rudely delve into other people’s background checks. Relay that to the chairman.”
Do-jun let the words out to Han Jin-tae.
In the space where the brightly lit room made no difference, the three people gathered, creating tension.
“Hiding the fact that Lee Hae-joo is pregnant is suspicious in itself.”
“I’m not hiding it.”
“…?”
“There’s no reason to hide it now.”
As if waiting, Director Kwak turned the laptop he had opened toward Han Jin-tae.
On the monitor was the official announcement posted on Do-jun’s official SNS.
It conveyed the news that Hae-joo was pregnant and currently resting in a quiet place.
Countless comments flooded in, expressing blessings at the request.
“You guys were just messing around, as expected.”
“That’s a bit harsh.”
“If the movie was that promising?”
“President Park!”
“In the future.”
Do-jun’s energy surpassed normal levels.
For those who had experienced a bit of a fight, there was a force that could be felt when facing him.
A person who seemed like they could die at any moment.
In Do-jun’s consciousness, the crazy ruffian was still active.
“When you call me, make sure to add ‘sir.'”
Han Jin-tae’s one-sided smirk slowly faded.
He had come lightly but faced a proper challenge when meeting Do-jun.
Nevertheless, Han Jin-tae thoroughly concealed his true feelings.
“All right, President Park Do-jun.”
Even with a smooth response, Do-jun’s expression remained unchanged.
Amidst the tense atmosphere, the conversation came to a halt.
Observing the expressions of the two men, Director Kwak cautiously broke the silence.
“The reason we gathered here today is because President Park Do-jun is one of the investors in this film.”
“I see.”
Han Jin-tae immediately smiled, as if to say, “When did that happen?”
“I find it challenging to give a positive response regarding the proposal you made to me recently.”
“That’s regrettable. Are you rejecting a good opportunity?”
“The movie was progressing well until Manager Han Jin-tae came to see me.”
“It seems like you’re implying that GN is hindering film production.”
“Aren’t you hindering it?”
“Do you have any evidence?”
By this point, Director Kwak’s patience had reached its limit.
When his complexion changed quickly, Han Jin-tae skillfully smiled to cover it up.
“Please don’t misunderstand. We don’t engage in such vulgar actions.”
He firmly denied putting pressure on external directors.
However, if GN was determined, they could redirect companies through various channels.
In fact, there were quite a few places that had suffered from GN’s interference or difficulties.
Director Kwak was not an exception.
Despite facing a crisis where he could be treated the same way, Do-jun’s support kept him unfazed.
“If, by any chance, it is revealed that GN obstructed the film production, we will respond legally.”
“At GN, we wanted to support Director Kwak’s film and made a suggestion. It’s disappointing that you’re suspicious from the start.”
“We have enough production budget. So, let’s meet again next time.”
Director Kwak hoped that his meeting with Han Jin-tae would end here.
He didn’t want to see him again, starting from the unpleasant eye contact.
“I understand Director Kwak’s intentions very well. I will report this to the chairman.”
With a nod as a farewell, Han Jin-tae turned away.
Do-jun kept a sharp gaze on him until he left completely.
“Dirty jerk.”
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
