TL: emptycube / ED: Isleidir
”Seo Jijoon and Iroaned His words were cut off by a sigh He rubbed his temples as he ed It was as though I was a pain in the neck instead of a lucky char Sunwoo You need to cal”
He tried to reason with me His attitude was different frolanced next to me The one who needed to calm down seemed to be solared at aze, my body would have been torn off limb by limb and scattered on the carpet
The director said,
”I understand how you feel I get it, but if you're going to stir trouble, it should be within your capabilities How do you plan on dealing with the aftermath if you take theht now
I thought I would have trouble breathing oronce I said those words, but it ca to eat for dinner My body andmy reaction, the director shook his head
”Let's act like that didn't happen Let's do that, CEO”
”H with hi replied with an order
”… Check?”
”Seo Jijoon and Im Joowon's opinion”
Taken aback, the director's butt jolted I also flinched
I had thought that they wouldn't outright reject the idea if Seo Jijoon and Im Joowon revealed their intentions to join my team since companies tended to cater to actors on their level However, I didn't think it would proceed so quickly
I had thought he would ask so more from me His actions made me wonder if the Tea's favor
I gave CEO Baek Hansung a doubtful look Our eyes met Like the director, he also looked atan amateur's cute actions, but on the other hand, it looked like he was pleased
Either way, it seemed like he had hoped I would act like this
He looked atwith his chin,
”You two should step out I think the Team 2 Leader and I need to have a talk”
The Teaaze siot up After saying goodbye, I brought Song Inho out of the CEO's office I alking while guessing at what kind of conversation would take place when I didn't hear any footsteps following ain his senses like he was being washed down a current His no longer tearful face looked dazed
”Hyung, is this all? Is it fine like this?”
”We'll have to htly raised my shoulders when the CEO's office burst open The Teaht he was going to hit me, I was hit with his fist Another fist made its way towards !”
I didn't plan on getting hit tithouta sound I quickly pulled my head back The Teae of rabbed his arrabbed the Team 2 Leader's shoulders and pulled hi cheek and sed There was a disgusting taste in , are you all right?”
The Tea over
”Song Inho! What's your problem? What did I not do for you?!”
”Tea you didn't like, you should have said so What are you doing?!”
Song Inho's face distorted miserably The Team 2 Leader continued to shout,
”Do you think I'll let you or that bastard off after suffering like this? I told you that this industry was suy who abandons his benefactor as soon as he ? Worthless personal…!”
”The ru an internal restructuring”
I replied while taking a step forward
”He's the rising star of W&U Weird rus difficult for the PR Teaes teams, he's still part of the W&U fa hiry you are…”
Threats had to be ht place
”Also, wouldn't that be best for you as well?”
”What?”
”If it was just Inho, maybe there would have been ru, but if three move teams, wouldn't it look like you are the problem? This industry is a small place You would lose face if some weird rumors spread”
”You bastard!”
The Teaestured to me to act moderately from the back, eventually facepalmed He steadfastly held onto the Teah he orried punches would fly again
Huffing, the Tea Inho
”I don't kno he persuaded you, but don't think…!”
”I begged hi Inho said in a subdued voice The Team 2 Leader flinched
”My problem? I told you countless ti Inho let out a frustrated sigh
”I can't follow yourLike you said, I'rateful I am will spread However, if I stay with you, I feel like I will co That scares me more”
The more he spoke, the more heavily the Team 2 Leader huffed He looked like he didn't knohat to do with all the shaue and signaled ot in the elevator
As soon as the doors began to close, Song Inho collapsed against the wall
”Are you okay?”
”I should be asking you that, hyung”
”Well”
I saw the Tea at le step I stared back at hian to move Rather than the Team 2 Leader's face, the shi+ny elevator doors reflected my face
My face looked refreshed like I had been reborn
Song Inho threay all his grief after a drink He was crawling around rabbed hiled a lot because he wouldn't let go of my ankle The world had become quiet by the time I was able to wrap hi contents of the bottle My h I poured down liquor like it ater
Only my heart seemed to beat more loudly
I looked out ns outside, before calling someone
-Who is it?
”It's otten I even had a second son Do you kno long it's been since you last called?
Her voice hid her sadness
”Has it been a while?”
-A while? It's been harder to hear your voice than when you went tothat no news is good news and that it's good that you're busy, but this is excessive You're obviously busy during the week Busy on weekends and holidays Are you the only one that's this busy?
”We all are Sorry, I'll try ”{1}
I said while checking my calendar Would I be able to take a day or two off?
-How are you? Are you stressed at work?
H ht, I've been promoted”
-Promoted? To what?
”Team leader”
Myon octopus tentacles, I fraood way My ood while before she said in a serious voice
-Okay, I'll keep this to myself
”It doesn't matter if others know This isn't a secret”
-Really? I've beco what I say after you appeared on TV
My h I a on TV because you're successful and being proet proher up you are, the more responsibilities you take on I'm worried
”… I wouldn't have accepted if I didn't think I could handle it”
-If things are tough, talk to your brother If it's still not resolved, then cohed
-I'll pass you the phone!
”Huh?”
-Your father's pesteringup
I unconsciously s with my father, I decided to call my brother I chatted with the quadruplets for an hour on speakerphone I had thought that no other life was as dynamic as mine, but the quadruplets didn't lose out
After thejoon as well as I I think I heard that I was crazy at least fifty ti what happened today In fact, one of the that
I laid down on h the scenario I had started reading the night before MyInho, Seo Jijoon, and Iha and Naht out all the scenarios, drama proposals, and scripts I cleared away the liquor bottles and side dishes fro room table and spread out the actors' photos and posters Then I looked at each of theht
I arrived back in Seoul after a three-day business trip to China As soon as I left the airport, I was met with hot, stuffy air It seemed the heat wave had arrived because h I wore a t-shi+rt Even the people walking on the streets looked someithered
My thirst burned my throat by the time I arrived at the co ot out the elevator thinking this and saw the lounge crawling with people
”hello”
”Ah, hello, Tea”
Theto each other before going silent as soon as I got off the elevator The way they staggered and nervously greeted' were Teaarded me
Had the incident with the Tea around for someone to ask when the Team 3 Leader called me
”Yes, team leader”
-Let's meet as soon as you arrive at work
”I'ht now”
The Team 3 Leader and Kim Hyunjo popped out of the office irabbedrooazes followed me
”What's with the mood? Is it because of the incident with the Team 2 Leader?”
There was no answer Instead, I looked at the two sitting in their seats They looked baffled As they ell aware of what happened between itated because of that
”What is it?”
”The Teanation letter this weekend”
”… Resignation letter?”
Kim Hyunjo nodded
I recalled the Team 2 Leader's face, which I had last seen in front of the CEO's office I had thought he would be up to sonation letter? He just up and left the co that day?
”It wasn't a threat or anything?”
”I thought the sa when I first heard it too, but it's not He received invest independent He said he had already discussed with his 'children', so he would take those whose contracts were al and Jijoon, there are quite a few actors he had brought in”{2}
That's right They made up the core of W&U's lineup of actors
Actors like Song Inho and Seo Jijoon, who didn't align with the Team 2 Leader's methods, were a ht in froency market approved of the Tea in the past
He was the type who see stabbed in the back like that
He said that he would turn his back on CEO Baek Hansung and take the actors who followed him with him?
”So? Did he actually leave?”
”He did”
Kih even he couldn't believe it
The Tea there with his arms crossed, added,
”Alone”
”Pardon?”
”He left alone I don't know if talks didn't go well or soo as planned at the end, but the actors ere supposed to leave with the Teaed into the CEO's office not long ago and caused a huge commotion”
Kim Hyunjo asked the Team 3 Leader,
”Do you think he'll come back?”
”I don't know”
”Even if he's received investments, without any trustworthy actors, won't he just waste away? Rumors will spread that he left the co, others will be cautious Do you think actors will sign with hi to oes to China though, he'll probably at least ”
The Team 3 Leader scratched his disheveled hair He checked the fir towards me Then he asked in a quiet voice,
”Hey, you've also been offered investht?”
