This was our secondin private
He had asked how I knew about Sung Dowon's problearding Park Dojin or Lee Songha I did my best to prepare for whatever question he would ask
”How old are you?”
I didn't expect this question
”I'm 28”
”That's young Any hobbies?”
”I like watching movies and dramas”
Why was he suddenly asking about my life?
He asked 's voice and deht back because he still gave off an i
”Do you golf?”
”No, I have never tried it”
”Hood if you do”
Then of course I had to learn it I had to go even if I didn't have enough time to sleep or eat
Bowing, I readily accepted his offer Having already heard that those who held high positions in broadcasting coolf course, I had planned on learning it in the future anyways
”I heard you refused to transfer to Team 2?”
Thinking this was the ,
”Yes”
”It's exhausting if you don't get along with your superiors That's also why I became independent”
This was so I hadn't heard from his interviews
”I plan to divide the Management Business Department even further in a few years”
He continued,
”There will be new teams The number of tea a few experienced chiefs to develop into tea people externally Someone who is well-connected Someone who does his job well And… Someone with skill and kno to make deals”
I noddeddidn't hesitate as he said,
”Just do as you have been Then I'll give you a team of your own”
Give me what?
The answers I had prepared in ot to maintainwith a blank expression
”My own team?”
CEO Baek Hansung smiled faintly
”Yeah, your team”
I went to the washroom as soon as I exited his office I held onto the sink as I let out the breath I had been holding in I vaguely res including Lee Songha, but there was only one thing that filled my head
My own team
My team composed of my actors, my celebrities, and my people
It was like aabout it h I had just sprinted at full speed
I felt proud and moved when I received my business card with the position 'Chief' written on it, but the position 'Team Leader' was one that felt incomparably distant to that of a chief, especially with my current experience
Get it together
I washed my hands with cold water and slapped my cheeks a few times
Just as I saw my dazed face reflected in the mirror, I felt like I stumbled and the world became black
I was sitting in a plush chair that seemed to bury me in its cushi+ons
I earing an expensive suit and had s crossed with my hands clasped on top of my knee My clear vision felt unfamiliar So it was that My fixed future The future where I was the CEO of a ement company
How long had it been?
”I heard that W&U's CEO Baek Hansung was your role model in the past”
I heard a woman's cautious voice
My vision swayed and I saw the to across the table
They were Reporter Song and Reporter Park, no, Director Park
”He was”
My future self replied It was moderately smooth and leisurely
”I have never met him before so I'm curious what kind of person he was”
Director Park seemed to reminisce the past as she said,
”He was one of the ement business He was a self-made man who made his 1-person company into a major one within ten years The press loved hi business seems quite a bit similar to him”
Director Park's black lips curved upwards I tilted my head
”Is that so?”
”Yes, you both have numerous similar traits Ah, besides your impression”
I suddenly recalled CEO Baek Hansung, who I had o My future self was silanced around to see if I could see
”But why did you storm out of your role model's company?”
Storm out?
I was surprised for a ht about it, it was obvious I had to have left W&U to establish my own company and becoave
My future self replied,
”I didn't like his methods”
”His methods?”
”I was young then so Ihim”
I felt disillusioned by CEO Baek Hansung's methods?
I couldn't even begin to guess what had happened I didn't even know if so like that would occur or not
I had already changed the present so much The situation I was currently in coed immensely as well
The Jung Sunwoo being interviewed right noas 'W&U's Lucky Charm', didn't become a chief at 28, and definitely wasn't told that he would be given his own tea
Director Park joined in,
”You regretted it after po W&U, didn't you?”
”Of course”
My future self said with a smile,
”I would have grown much more quickly if I had continued to work under CEO Baek After leaving, I realized the cold hard truth That this industry was filled with so many people ere black to their storey”
What was he saying?
It see asked instead
”What do you by grey?”
”Back then and even now, this place known as the entertaino, the harder it is to endure while staying white But if you become too black, then you become trash like the Pure Star people It's really difficult trying to stay grey ast them”
”Ah, then are you currently grey?”
I felt the muscles near my lips move subtly
Then, with a low laugh, my future self said,
”Probably”
A drop of water ran down my cheek and dripped from my chin
When I ca at my face reflected in the mirror
I was back in the present
I turned on the cold water, washed my face, and brushed ht about it The futures I had seen were always inhospitable, but they see This tiuous
Thinking about it intently for a bit before stopping
I didn't plan on storht noays
Like whatin W&U would allowon oals after I started changing my future
Only, a single sprout of doubt budded in my mind
My future self What kind of person was I 20 years in the future?
I became curious about that
I pressed the code in the keypad and opened the front door
It opened a few centi with a thud There was a chain
”Who is it? If it's Sunwoo oppa, tell us your nickname Snake, snake, what kind of snake?”
”Stop speaking nonsense and open the door”
”It is you”
I eyes
”You weren't trailed by reporters, right? There aren't any reporters outside, right? You have to be careful If you slip up, the paparazzi roup whose every move is neorthy”
”Do you have full makeup on in case someone takes a picture of you?”
”My naked face is drab because I couldn't sleep due to our busy schedule”
She then pouted her glossy lips
I looked at the other girls Lee Taehee was slumped on the sofa, uncertain whether she was alive or dead, like always, and LJ was doing sit-ups on the floor next to her
”We tried to stop her as much as we could”
LJ said while wiping the sweat from her forehead
