At that moment, a clicking sound came from the side.
Seol Ji-o and Yeo-woon were startled and quickly separated. The person casually addressing them was Kim Ji-chan, the youngest member of the filming team.
“What are you two doing?”
Embarrassed, Yeo-woon looked at Kim Ji-chan, blushing up to her ears, while Seol Ji-o maintained some distance.
“Oh, um, that!”
Then, Seol Ji-o spoke calmly in a flat voice.
“Yeo-woon was about to fall, so I just caught her. Did you have a hard time earlier?”
“Oh, haha! That’s right. I was so tired that my legs, legs gave out!”
Watching Yeo-woon awkwardly play along, Kim Ji-chan nodded his head, then suddenly showed his phone screen to the two.
“The picture was so pretty that I unintentionally took it. Even though I’m part of the filming team. Haha. When I see something cool or beautiful, I unknowingly reach out my hand…”
Seol Ji-o, silently watching Kim Ji-chan’s chatter, took the phone from him.
“I will delete the photo. It could be awkward if such a picture circulates.”
“Oh, yes! I was short-sighted. Feel free to delete it!”
After Seol Ji-o politely handed the phone back to Kim Ji-chan, he bowed and went to another place.
Yeo-woon swept her chest with a relieved expression. However, she still felt the eyes of the surrounding staff on them.
And one more person.
“You two seem very close?”
It was Go Hyeon-a, who had been watching the two up close.
“Someone might misunderstand if they see us.”
“What’s there to misunderstand?”
Seol Ji-o’s voice became lower.
Feeling a strange antagonistic atmosphere between the two, Yeo-woon was momentarily bewildered.
However, Go Hyeon-a, unfazed, smiled and said, “I thought you were friends.”
“…….”
When Seol Ji-o glared coldly, Go Hyeon-a shrugged and said, “Oh, why are you looking at me so intimidatingly again? Can’t you see I’m tied up right now? Please untie this. I look so pitiful like this.”
Yeo-woon only now realized that she was still tied up and approached that side. After untying the knot behind the chair, Go Hyeon-a pulled her arms out and stood up.
“Thank you, Yeo-woon.”
Her voice was kind, but her smiling face was slightly different from usual. The corners of her mouth were subtly trembling.
Maybe she’s forcing a smile.
As Go Hyeon-a walked past the two, Seol Ji-o reached out and grabbed her arm.
“Planning to spread another groundless rumor?”
At his low words, Go Hyeon-a’s expression hardened in an instant.
“What are you talking about?”
“Are you planning to create a scandal involving the two of us again?”
“Ha. Ji-o, what are you talking about now…”
Seol Ji-o smiled at Go Hyeon-a’s confused expression.
“Let’s stop with the jokes. I can’t bear it any longer.”
“…….”
“Uh, you should smile now; people are watching. It would be awkward if our true selves were exposed.”
At those words, Go Hyeon-a’s large eyes shook mercilessly. She bit her lips and alternately glanced at Yeo-woon and Seol Ji-o.
Then, without saying anything, she abruptly turned around and walked away.
Yeo-woon watched her retreating figure and, feeling a bit concerned, asked Seol Ji-o.
“Ji-o, why is she going that far?”
Seol Ji-o looked at Yeo-woon as if she were too naive and said, “Have you apologized to her since that day?”
“Um… no.”
“See, she spread groundless rumors about us, and she hasn’t even apologized. Why should I be nice to someone like that? I don’t even have enough time to treat someone precious well.”
Someone precious. Yeo-woon’s heart trembled unknowingly under his gaze that looked at her so intently.
Seol Ji-o chuckled, then looked around. Most people were busy with their tasks, but there were still a few glances directed their way.
“We’ve been on stage for too long. Let’s go. Before we attract more attention.”
Lee Seung-jae was sweating profusely.
It was time to start filming, but Go Hyeon-a seemed unwilling to get out of the car.
“Hyun-ah, we have to go now.”
“I feel like I’m going to die right now! You saw my acting today, right? Tied to a chair, messed up by Yeo-woon, feeling dizzy!”
Lee Seung-jae peered into Go Hyeon-a’s face, which seemed truly exhausted, perhaps due to the makeup.
But more importantly, there was no time for this kind of fuss right now.
“Hyun-ah, endure a bit more. Let’s finish the last shoot, okay?”
“Oppa, please tell the director for me. I’m really exhausted.”
“Ha…”
Lee Seung-jae had no choice but to call the assistant director and explain the situation. With Lee Seung-jae struggling on the phone, the assistant director said he would discuss it with the director and hung up.
“Hyun-ah, what should we do? Are you not doing the next project?”
Lee Seung-jae was genuinely worried. While Go Hyeon-a rarely showed her personality on set, why was this movie shoot particularly difficult for her?
As Lee Seung-jae pondered where things went wrong, he couldn’t figure it out. It was worrisome because if things continued like this, unfavorable rumors about Go Hyeon-a might spread within the limited film industry.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
