Yeo Woon looked at Seol Ji Oh in surprise, and Han Seo Ah’s eyes widened slightly in astonishment.
What? If he said it like that, wouldn’t people think we were close!
“Really? Sister, why didn’t you tell me? That you’re close with Brother Ji Oh!”
The look in Han Seo Ah’s eyes and her tone became noticeably friendlier. Yeo Woon, slightly taken aback by Han Seo Ah’s sudden change of demeanor, mumbled a response.
“Well, not exactly close.”
Han Seo Ah walked inside and sat on the couch across from Yeo Woon, then she asked with sparkling eyes,
“Since when have you been friends?”
“Since elementary school. I used to live next door to Mr. Seol Ji Oh.”
“Wow. He must have been really cute when he was young, wasn’t he?”
“Well, yes. He was cute.”
“That’s amazing. Sister, why didn’t you let people know? You could have been famous as Seol Ji Oh’s friend!”
“No, I can’t ride on my friend’s coattails. Ha ha.”
Yeo Woon laughed awkwardly, glancing at Seol Ji Oh. After alternating between looking at Seol Ji Oh and Han Seo Ah, she finally decided that she seemed to be a third wheel and stood up.
“I’ll get going. See you at the site tomorrow, Seo Ah.”
“Are you leaving already? I thought we’d go over the script together.”
At Seol Ji Oh’s words, both Yeo Woon and Han Seo Ah wore expressions of surprise.
Was he going to tell her that we were going into a project together?
Yeo Woon stood awkwardly, looking at Seol Ji Oh. Quick to catch on, Han Seo Ah asked him,
“Are you and sister going into a project?”
“Yeah, we’re going into a movie together. I recommended her.”
“Oh……”
Han Seo Ah’s eyes darted between Yeo Woon and Seol Ji Oh, and she soon burst into a bright smile.
“If it’s a project with Brother, it’s guaranteed to be a hit. That’s great. Congratulations.”
“Thank you.”
Yeo Woon laughed awkwardly. Seeing Han Seo Ah’s true colors, Yeo Woon couldn’t feel sincerity in her smile no matter how brightly she smiled.
“Let’s have a chat then. I’ll be going.”
When Yeo Woon said her goodbye, Seol Ji Oh escorted her to the door, saying he would be in touch.
Leaving the two behind, Yeo Woon stepped into the hallway to wait for the elevator.
Yeo Woon narrowed her eyes.
The way Seol Ji Oh looked at Han Seo Ah, Han Seo Ah acting cute, and Seol Ji Oh accepting it nonchalantly.
Could they possibly be dating?
Yeo Woon pondered for a moment, then soon shook her head vigorously.
Whatever. What does it have to do with me?
The next day, Yeo Woon took a clean shower and sat in front of the TV. Today was the premiere of “Office Trap.”
There was still about 30 minutes left before the drama started.
Feeling nervously excited, Yeo Woon fidgeted her toes. At that moment, she received a call from Seo Ga Ram.
“Hey, Yeo Woon. Did you order chicken?”
“Yes, I did. When will you get here?”
[I’m stuck in traffic, it might take a while. You go ahead and start watching. Sorry!]
Yeo Woon hung up the phone. Despite being busy with a musical performance, Seo Ga Ram had made time to watch the first broadcast at Yeo Woon’s place.
“Oh. It’s starting now!”
Yeo Woon blankly stared at the screen as the long ad came to an end, and “Rated 15” flashed on the screen.
The first scene featured Han Seo Ah tying her hair high up and pulling up her stockings. Following this was a scene of Han Seo Ah, demonstrating a standard office look, arriving at work with impeccable grace and assisting the male lead, Kim Sang Wook.
The scene highlighted Kim Sang Wook’s tall stature and stylish suit, which was enough to flutter women’s hearts. As Yeo Woon was smiling at the screen, the doorbell rang.
Yeo Woon opened the door without taking her eyes off the screen.
“Hey! Has it started?”
Seo Ga Ram hurriedly took off his shoes and came in.
“Yes. Go wash your hands. We’re having chicken.”
At Yeo Woon’s words, Seo Ga Ram dashed to the bathroom, quickly washed his hands, and came back out. Yeo Woon, focusing all her attention on the drama, moved only her hands to set the chicken on the table.
The drama was at a scene where the vicepresident ‘Hyun Woo’ was harshly criticizing his secretary ‘Hana.’ The bar scene shot by Yeo Woon was scheduled to be shown after this scene.
Seo Ga Ram, picking up a chicken drumstick, asked Yeo Woon,
“Did you appear?”
“No. I think I’ll be in the next scene.”
“Oh. Looking forward to it.”
While Seo Ga Ram was devouring his drumstick, Yeo Woon couldn’t pick up even one piece of chicken, just kept staring at the screen.
The first broadcast of a drama always made her nervous. Eventually, Yeo Woon’s face appeared on the screen.
“Hey! It’s Yeo Woon!”
Seo Ga Ram overreacted and poked Yeo Woon, who hushed him and focused on the drama.
“Let’s eat and die!!”
On the screen, Yeo Woon and Han Seo Ah raised their glasses for a toast and gulped down soju.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
