Min Jiwuk spoke with a calm voice.
“I have a movie I want to shoot, and I think Yeorun would suit the lead role. I don’t know when it will happen, but can you act in it?”
Although he asked calmly, a faint fear could be read in his eyes. The fear of not wanting to be rejected.
Yeorun, who was contemplating for a moment, soon smiled warmly and said, “Of course. Anytime if it’s the director’s movie.”
He smiled only then.
Yeorun realized that his smile was no longer awkward. During the creation of this movie, it seemed that many changes had occurred in Min Jiwuk as well.
“Thank you.”
He got up from his seat without lingering. After returning to his usual chair, he looked at the camera as always.
Yeorun thought her promise might have somewhat comforted him, and that was enough.
At that moment, Director Byeon Juho entered, announcing the start of the shoot. The final film of the movie ‘Arrow’ began to fill in.
When the last scene was over, somewhere, fireworks went off. The culprits were the youngest staff members.
Some of them came out, celebrating the end of the last shoot, putting a garland around Director Byeon’s neck.
Laughing at the sight of them presenting a cake and congratulating the last shoot, the surrounding staff members couldn’t help but smile.
Director Byeon Juho, bewildered but finding the youngest staff’s playfulness cute, chuckled. Then he shouted loudly.
“Thank you, everyone! We’ll untangle everything at the wrap-up party tomorrow, so let’s leave work now!”
Who dislikes leaving work?
At Director Byeon’s refreshing words, the momentary regret was replaced by vitality on people’s faces. As the shoot ended earlier, Yeorun, who had been watching this scene from outside, approached Seol Jio, who had finished shooting.
“Jio, good job! It’s finally over.”
“Yeah. It’s finally over.”
He looked quite relaxed. Given the pressure of starring in a high-profile film, he handled his role well without showing it.
Thinking of celebrating with him alone today, Yeorun asked, “What are you going to do after today?”
Then, he seemed a bit awkward, as if hesitating.
“Ah… I have somewhere to go today.”
“Huh?”
Unexpected words widened Yeorun’s eyes.
Did I not hear that he has a schedule today?
“I have someone to meet. I’ll contact you after it’s over.”
Seol Jio smiled apologetically and left the spot. Yeorun stared blankly at his disappearing figure.
It was a bit disappointing not to be together on a day like today.
Exiting the set, Seol Jio walked down the hotel corridor wearing a hat and a mask. Standing in front of the promised place and knocking, the door soon opened.
“Waiting for you.”
It was a man who seemed like Seo Jio’s secretary. Seol Jio stepped inside.
The reason for choosing the hotel suite as the meeting place was to avoid people’s attention as much as possible.
As he entered, there was Seo Hyejeong, with the same short hair and sophisticated look that he had seen before, sitting on the sofa.
Seo Hyejeong, who seemed to be busy working, looked up from her documents and gazed at Seol Jio.
“Please, have a seat.”
Her voice was mixed with a sigh. As Seol Jio sat down, Seo Hyejeong brought up the main topic.
“They’ve notified the termination of the contract with the company, and there’s even a lawsuit on the nullification of the contract.”
“…”
“Thanks to that, the situation is a bit awkward. Oh, it’s not like my adorable little sister did well or anything.”
Seo Hyejeong chuckled lightly and continued, “Hyeri is not feeling well. Can’t you see? Our family lacks affection. Since no one pays attention to the youngest, she’s turned a bit wayward.”
Seol Jio let out a wry laugh at the direct expression. Even from Seo Hyejeong, who spoke like that, there was no sign of affection for her younger sister.
“At least, I’ve confiscated her phone and camera and locked her up at home. It was about time to send her to Germany anyway, but how did she manage to cause trouble again before going?”
“…I’m not interested in the family history of Seo Hwa Group.”
Seol Jio’s cold words made Seo Hyejeong laugh.
“Well, let’s forget about the family shame for now, Seol Jio. Please continue as the model for Seo Hwa Dairy.”
Seol Jio looked at Seo Hyejeong without revealing his emotions.
Seo Hwa Group was currently in the midst of sibling power struggles due to the succession process. However, in this situation, if trouble arose in Seo Hwa Dairy, where Seo Hyejeong was in charge, it would be inconvenient for her.
Moreover, if the reason for Seol Jio’s contract termination and the stalking of Seo Hwa Group’s youngest daughter were revealed, the carefully built corporate image would crumble in an instant.
On the other hand, Seol Jio had little to lose. The lawsuit was just for show, a play for the media, and even if they demanded the penalty and terminated the contract, it wouldn’t be a significant blow.
The only concern was that the photos Seo Hye-ri had might spread to the public. That’s why Yeorun might get hurt.
Only that one thing was what Seol Jio feared.
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.”
