“Oh, hyung.”
[Ji-oh, can you come to the office now? I have something to show you. It’s related to the malicious rumors about Yeo-woon.]His eyes narrowed. Did they find the original spreader?
“I’ll be there right away.”
Without saying another word, he hung up the phone, turned the steering wheel, and headed straight to the company.
“…….,”
After his car disappeared, the villa became quiet. Someone hiding in the darkness revealed themselves. Raising their head, they observed Yeo-woon’s lit-up house for a while before quietly disappearing.
Having arrived at the president’s office, Seol Ji-oh knocked and entered. Joo Seok-young, who was sitting at the desk looking at something, stood up to welcome Seol Ji-oh.
“Sorry for bothering you when you must be tired.”
“No, do you have any findings?”
“Oh. Would you like to see this?”
Seol Ji-oh examined the photo handed to him by Joo Seok-young.
A man leaving a wine bar with a woman. However, the wine bar seemed oddly familiar.
‘Here…?’
“Do you recognize this woman?”
Seol Ji-oh looked closely at the woman in the photo. Despite wearing a mask, her hairstyle and clothing were familiar.
Having recognized who the woman was in an instant, Seol Ji-oh burst into a bitter laugh.
“I know her very well. Who is this man?”
“He’s Song Ji-hoon, a reporter from the H Daily Entertainment Department.”
“So, what you’re saying is that these two are related to the malicious rumors?”
Joo Seok-young nodded.
“Reporter Song was the first to be caught spreading malicious rumors. But no matter how you look at it, he has no connection with Yeo-woon. So, we’ve been investigating for a few days. Then he meets Go Hyeon-ah. Didn’t we say last time that the false rumors at the filming site were Go Hyeon-ah’s doing?”
Seol Ji-oh unexpectedly glanced at the president.
“President, is that correct? It seems like you’ve been listening to all the news.”
“No, it’s because when the malicious rumors about Yeo-woon broke out, someone cursed so vehemently. Well, anyway, why is Go Hyeon-ah acting like this out of nowhere?”
“She’s being too greedy.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
Without answering, Seol Ji-oh just smiled slyly. Then, with a chilly gaze, he said,
“Can you attach someone to Go Hyeon-ah? Let’s try writing a novel too, like she did.”
As Seol Ji-oh looked down at the photo, his lips twisted coldly.
‘I have to repay her for daring to touch what’s mine.’
Yeo-woon had a shoot with Go Hyeon-ah today.
In the drama, ‘Cheon Su-ho,’ who is about to marry ‘Cha Yeon-joo,’ the main storyline revolves around tormenting ‘An Si-yeon,’ the woman ‘Cheon Su-ho’ truly loves.
As they entered the construction site, Go Hyeon-ah looked different from usual.
Her hair was messily arranged, and her face was made up to hide every blemish. In short, her face showed signs of being through a lot.
In contrast, Yeo-woon wore a crisp white suit on her radiant face, and she had on tall red heels.
Yeo-woon silently watched several staff members stick close to Go Hyeon-ah, tying her to a chair.
Go Hyeon-ah chatted and laughed with male staff members, exchanging playful banter.
“Do I need to tie her up properly? If I tie her too loosely, what if she breaks free during the scene?”
“Of course. Trust me, Miss Hyeon-ah! I’ll tie you up as securely as possible!”
“Oh, don’t tie it too tightly!”
Her laughter was refreshing and bright.
Recently, after learning that Go Hyeon-ah had spread false rumors about her, Yeo-woon felt uncomfortable around her.
However, Go Hyeon-ah treated her with kindness as usual, at least in front of people.
Of course, Yeo-woon now knew that it wasn’t sincere. She hadn’t even apologized for the false rumors.
‘Doesn’t she feel even a bit sorry towards me?’
Yeo-woon looked at Go Hyeon-ah and turned her head. Shooting scenes with the unpredictable Go Hyeon-ah was always burdensome.
“Okay, Ms. Go Hyeon-ah, Ms. Yeo-woon. I’ll take the next shot!”
At the assistant director’s words, Yeo-woon walked towards the chair where Go Hyeon-ah was tied. As she stepped on the floor with high heels, the sand crunched beneath her.
Yeo-woon stood in the designated position and looked at Go Hyeon-ah. Soon, the cue sign from the director sounded, and Yeo-woon controlled her emotions and began acting.
“…….”
“…….”
Their gazes met. Go Hyeon-ah became a perfect ‘An Si-yeon’ and let out a dry laugh between her lips. Next was her line.
“I’m laughing? It seems like you haven’t fully grasped the situation yet.”
“…….”
“Haven’t you heard? Cheon Su-ho saved you from being sold in a Macau alley? There couldn’t have been a prince riding a white horse in your eyes.”
Go Hyeon-ah glared at Yeo-woon.
Yeo-woon, who was digging up the past, seemed to provoke resentment in Go Hyeon-ah’s expression. Yeo-woon reached out and lifted Go Hyeon-ah’s chin.
“That man. He’s the one who will be my husband now. You’re not someone I can overlook.”
As Yeo-woon threw Go Hyeon-ah’s chin away like discarding it, Go Hyeon-ah smirked.
“You know everything, don’t you?”
“What?”
“What’s inside Chairman Cha’s safe. You know, don’t you?”
At Go Hyeon-ah’s mocking question, Yeo-woon’s face suddenly turned red and blue.
Flustered, Yeo-woon bit her lip and then ruthlessly slapped Go Hyeon-ah’s cheek.
“Where do you get off being so audacious!”
Go Hyeon-ah turned her head with a snarl, clenching her jaw.
“You know what’s inside Chairman Cha’s safe, don’t you? Isn’t that right?”
“……”
Yeo-woon opened her lips wide.
“What’s inside Chairman Cha’s safe is not company secrets or anything.”
“……Stop it.”
“A photo of the lost son. You’ve seen it clearly too!”
“I said stop it! I burned it all! There’s nothing like that now!”
Go Hyeon-ah genuinely laughed as if enjoying herself.
“Director Cha Yeon-joo seems to love her stepbrother so much. Disgusting.”
“Shut up!”
Yeo-woon began to strangle Go Hyeon-ah with an angry face. Even in her choked state, Go Hyeon-ah spat out her lines as if venting frustration.
“Please leave that person alone! Revenge and such are all useless! It’s an arrow wrongly aimed from the start. From the very beginning…!”
Suddenly, Go Hyeon-ah’s body slackened as if losing strength. Yeo-woon, with tear-streaked cheeks, had unknowingly sunk back into her seat.
“No… No…”
In the empty construction site, her whispered words echoed emptily.
“Okay. Cut.”
As soon as the director’s cut sound was heard, Yeo-woon breathed out heavily. Her emotions were not yet settled, and tears continued to stream down her face.
Ah, I can’t calm down…
At that moment, someone reached out to Yeo-woon from the side.
Yeo-woon, with a hazy view through tears, turned her head towards the familiar scent.
“Ji-oh?”
“Uh. Your acting was amazing just now?”
At his voice, Yeo-woon laughed as if tension had been released.
As he took her hand and stood up, the high heels momentarily slipped on the wooden floor, causing Yeo-woon to wobble.
“Uh, huh?!”
Seol Ji-o instinctively reached out and caught Yeo-woon, who was about to fall.
“……!”
“……!”
The two of them froze for a moment, looking at each other. And soon, they realized. That their proximity was excessively close.
Yeo-woon blinked in surprise at Seol Ji-o’s face, which had come closer.
His hand embracing her lower back. Startled, she fumbled and unintentionally grasped the lapel of his jacket.
“Anyone can see that this is an embrace!”
For a moment, the film set fell into a static state.
The eyes of numerous staff members began to focus on the two.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
