Chapter 95 - when a dog flirts with you (1/2)

”She looks familiar.” Kang Si An squints his eyes when he sees the main female cast walks in. There has been a last minute change in the main female cast for his new drama. The girl is a complete rookie. Nobody heard about her before. She doesn't belong to any entertainment company.

It feels like he has seen her before. She greets the cast one by one. Many people are not happy with the change. They look at her with unsatisfaction. Even Kang Si An wonders how she managed to impress Director Lee. He isn't someone who would take people coming through connections. Unless the artist is not good, he won't cast them. To work with Director Lee, he nearly had to make heaven and earth one. The movie 'Our Tangled Destiny' was a success. Director Lee signed a second work with him right away.

The new drama has a similar storyline. The love story is set in J era. The main character is a female crossdresser who saves a young spoilt lord from bandits.

”Hello, I am Kang Si An.” He smiles at her cheerfully when she comes to him. Whether he likes it or not, she will be his opposite cast.

”Kwon Kyuri,” She replies with a soft smile. She doesn't show any hint of recognization in her eyes. ”Please take care of me, Senior.”

She looks like a simple girl with a simple attitude. How did she manage to impress director Lee? Kang Si An can't wait to see her skills. It must be impressive.

He treats me neither as friend or enemy. He leaves after a few polite words.

It was quite a headache to get to meet that director. I had to pull some strings, but the director was someone who wouldn't take anyone if that person didn't suit the role. I knew that I could impress him with my skills. He wants actresses who can act as if they came straight out of history. I have freaking lived in those times.

Suddenly, someone grabs my hand. Out of reflex, I twist his arm and grab the back of his hair. ”Ow! Junior, don't kill me.”

I realize what I am doing. I let him go. Everyone is looking at us strangely. Kang Si An is also looking at us. The man turns around and blocks my view of Kang Si An.

”Junior, you are quite feisty.” This man's name is Jae Kyung. He's the second male lead in the drama. In terms of looks and popularity, he's a match to Kang Si An. He bends his knees and looks into my eyes, ”I like feisty.”

”...” So, he's kind of a playboy.

”I like your eyes the most.” He lifts his hand to touch my hair. I dodge it. After everything that I went through, I hate sly men like him the most. His phoenix eyes narrow a bit. His lips curl up into a seductive smile. ”You don't act cute for your age.”
