“… … .”

Only after Producer Shin’s back had completely disappeared did Han Si-woo turn to me and ask.

“Miss Yerin. Didn’t PD Shin do anything strange or anything? I was stabbed with my hand… .”

Han Si-woo then looked at every part of my body.

I could sense his deep concern for me from his appearance, so I smiled slightly and answered.

“No, I didn’t. Don’t worry.”

“Then I’m glad… . But Miss Yerin. You’re confronting the PD of the program you’re appearing in… , this is not a good choice.”

“… … .”

Han Si-woo gave advice in a serious voice, perhaps because he was worried about the negative impact it would have on me.

but… .

“In particular, new PDs need to be careful. That person… , his influence on the entertainment industry is quite large, and more than anything, he is smart and good at scheming, so no matter how well-known a celebrity he is, he does not try to pretend to be that person. So from next time… .”

“… sorry. I know that producer Han Si-woo is saying this because he is worried about me, but… , If this situation arises next time, I will act the same way.”

I cut him off firmly and said,

“Of course… , that person touched my precious people. My mouth moved before I could think.”

“If they are precious people… , Are they people from the company?”

“Yes.”

“I see.”

Han Si-woo nodded in understanding and kept his mouth shut.

After a moment of awkward silence, I asked him this time.

“But producer Han Si-woo, how did you end up in this dark place?”

“Ah… , Actually, I also had some business to do with Miss Yerin, so I was looking for her and ended up here.”

“Me? Why me… .”

“… … This is embarrassing, but I had the same reason as PD Shin.”

“… Yes?”

When I tilted my head, Han Si-woo responded with a weak smile.

“I said I would start a company before… , Do you remember that you proposed to Yerin to become the first artist?”

“… … Yes, of course I remember.”

How could you forget?

HS Entertainment was founded by Han Si-woo right after Naah ended and quickly became a major company.

Originally, Yoo Seol was supposed to be HS Entertainment’s first artist, but I was very embarrassed when Han Si-woo asked me to be the first artist, unlike in my previous life.

“At that time, you refused very coldly. After that, I tried to give up my mind… , Every time I saw Yerin growing up, it kept flashing in my mind.”

“Producer Han Si-woo… .”

“I had a feeling that if I lost Yerin like this, I would regret it for the rest of my life. so… , I tried to persuade Yerin by bringing the best conditions I could. but… .”

Han Si-woo was smiling, but I could easily understand his inner emotions.

“Looking at it now, no matter what conditions I bring, I won’t be able to convince Ms. Yerin.”

Just disappointment and regret.

Han Si-woo’s expression now was reminiscent of a person who had lost treasure right in front of his eyes.

In response, I bowed my head to him with an expression of regret and said,

“… Yes, sorry. No matter how much it is Han Si-woo’s suggestion, I… , I have no intention of changing my current company.”

“It’s not something Yerin should feel sorry for. On the contrary, I am sorry for disturbing Yerin by being soggy.”

Han Si-woo waved his hand once, saying it was okay, and continued speaking.

“Forget what PD Shin just said. Brothers Planning… , Ms. Yerin’s company is now capable enough just because it discovered Ms. Yerin.”

“… Thank you for saying that.”

“And the MS plan proposed by PD Shin… . Don’t even look at it. Everyone knows that it is a company that exploits its celebrities through slave contracts. Plus, there are dirty rumors about the CEO there… , Anyway, it’s a trash company.”

“Ah… .”

The company that PD Shin suggested to me was MS Planning. It was a company I had heard of many times.

It was clearly a second-tier agency, the second largest in scale after the three major agencies.

I knew it was a good place because there were quite a few celebrities there, but if Han Si-woo said this, I guess it wasn’t so.

“Thank you for letting me know, Producer Siwoo Han.”

“Thank you… , it’s nothing. Then I’ll just leave. Miss Yerin, this week’s performance was the best… Thank you for your hard work.”

With those words, Han Si-woo waved his hand once as if saying goodbye and walked away first.

As I was looking at his back, a question suddenly occurred to me and I shouted out to him.

“I… , Producer Han Si-woo!”

“Yes, Miss Yerin. Well, the last thing I have to say… ?”

“That… , I said earlier that no matter how famous a celebrity is, they don’t try to keep up with the new PD… , Why did you help me even at the cost of pretending to be with PD Shin?”

“… … .”

Han Si-woo rested his chin in thought for a moment in response to my question, but then smiled and answered as if he had remembered something.

“Yerin said that earlier. Producer Shin cursed the people in the company and left before he even thought about it.”

“That’s right… , it was.”

“I also left before thinking when I saw Yerin being threatened by PD Shin.”

“… … .”

“I think that’s what Yerin meant to me. If that’s the answer, let’s get going now. See you next week.”

Hwihwi.

After saying those words, Han Si-woo waved at me with an innocent smile and left.

I stared blankly at the spot he left for a moment.

‘… ‘That’s cool.’

And thank you.

If a person like that is the CEO of the company… , I felt like I wanted to work together.

Of course, that doesn’t happen now because there is only Brother Planning and Kang Hyung… .

‘If I ended up joining Han Si-woo’s company because I couldn’t meet President Kang… , What happened to me?’

… … .

I guess it wasn’t that bad.

I chuckled as I remembered myself entering Han Si-woo’s company.

I felt dirty because of PD Shin… , I felt a little purified thanks to Han Si-woo.

**

It seems like the time I spent talking with Shin PD and Han Si-woo was quite long.

“There is no one.”

I looked around the empty set and walked quickly.

‘I’ll be waiting for you, boss.’

It was clear that only Kanghyung would be waiting for me inside the parking lot where I always parked my car.

So I quickly headed to the parking lot.

It was then.

“… … So what can I say… … .”

‘… … hmm?’

I reflexively hid myself when I heard a familiar voice coming from around the corner.

And when I thought it was someone, I pulled my head out to check their face… .

“Yes? What can I say? Please speak quickly.”

“… … .”

Seo Yu-jin and Yoo Seol were talking alone.

Seo Yu-jin and Yoo Seol… , it is an unsuitable combination.

Above all, isn’t there still some resentment left in the relationship between the two that needs to be resolved?

‘It’s not polite to eavesdrop on other people’s conversations… !’

Even though I knew that, there seemed to be no time for me to appear.

I couldn’t help but hold my breath and overheard the conversation between the two people.

and… .

“… I’m sorry.”

“… … !”

I had no choice but to cover my mouth in response to Yu Seol’s apology.

“… At that time, I used you to get my votes in the contest.”

“… … .”

Seo Yu-jin did not react in any way even after hearing Yu Seol’s answer.

Yu Seol continued speaking.

“… It’s not that I hated you. I know this can’t be an excuse, but I had no idea you would be stoned so much by the public.”

“… … .”

“… I’m not asking for your forgiveness or to ease my mind. I just want to tell you how I feel… .”

“… … .”

“… Sorry. Really.”

Deep.

Soon, the sound of Yu Seol’s head turning downward was heard. I guess I bowed my head to Seo Yu-jin.

“… Phew.”

Seo Yu-jin, perhaps confused by seeing Yu Seol like that, answered with a long sigh.

“I had a really hard time at that time. I really thought about dying and tried to quit being an idol. … Because of my sister. still… .”

“… … .”

“… Wake up, I will forgive you.”

“… What?”

Not only I but also Yu Seol seemed surprised by the words of forgiveness and gave an idiotic reaction.

And Seo Yu-jin… .

“… Because I didn’t do anything well back then either.”

… He began to speak in a serious tone that was not easily seen.

“At that time, I clearly continued to show an immaturity. … If we had debuted without something like this happening, bigger problems would have definitely arisen during our promotions. and… .”

“… … .”

“… Thanks to this incident, I got to know someone really precious.”

“… A really precious person?”

“When I am having the hardest time… , the person who held me and hugged me when everyone looked away.”

“… … .”

Is that my story?

… I’m kind of embarrassed.

The shame was doubled because Seo Yu-jin’s voice was heartbreaking, as if she were confessing her love.

“So, I will forgive you. Sister too… , don’t be too distressed.”

At the same time, I felt proud of Seo Yu-jin’s mature appearance.

Is this how parents feel as they watch their children grow?

I couldn’t help but be touched to see Seo Yu-jin, who only knew herself as an unknown person, show such maturity.

“… Thank you.”

This seemed to be the same for Yu Seol as well, as she answered in a voice full of tears.

Seo Yu-jin must have thought that it would be better to go first after seeing such rumors, but she spoke in a slightly grumpy but calm voice.

“… If I’m done with my business, I’ll go first.”

“… Yes.”

“… See you at the next shoot, sister.”

Ta-ta-tat.

With those words, Seo Yu-jin left with the sound of steps that made her feel embarrassed.

“… … Haha.”

Yu Seol did not leave his seat for a long time even after Seo Yu Jin left.

Thanks to… .

‘… I have to go soon too.’

I also couldn’t help but feel nervous.

It’s clear that only Kang Hyeong is worried… , but if I leave now, it’s obvious that I’ll be caught eavesdropping on the conversation… .

It was a time when I was so anxious.

Turrr-.

“… !”

When my cell phone suddenly rang, I was shocked, thinking it was Kang Hyeong-man who was waiting for me.

but… .

“… Hello?”

‘… … phew.’

Fortunately, the owner of the ringtone was Yu Seol, not me.

Perhaps it was a serious call, Yoo Seol answered the phone with a heavier voice than Seo Yujin.

and… .

“Emergency surgery… ?”

I couldn’t help but be shocked by her next words.

“Okay, I’ll go quickly. Yes, the cost of surgery… .”

“… … .”

“I will somehow collect the surgery fee by the end of next month… , yes, yes… ! thank you… ! I’ll go quickly!”

Crash.

With those words, Yoo Seol quickly left the set.

and… .

‘… … ‘Surgery fee?’

I watched Yoo Seol disappear and tilted my head, recalling the words she had just said.
