Ch.238An Interesting Photo

Brrrrrr.

My body trembles.

“Uuuuugh… Uuuuuuugh!!!”

What is this emotion?

It’s a feeling I’ve never experienced in my life.

I’ve always solved everything with power.

Even difficult situations were always overcome effortlessly after a little time.

But the situation unfolding now was impossible to accept.

“Aaaaaaaaaah!!!”

Mid-June.

The day Evelyn’s talk show was broadcast across America.

Edward Maxwell witnessed it clearly.

Abandoning all dignity as the WBC Heavyweight Champion.

After watching the live broadcast with sparkling eyes.

“Grrrrrrrrgh…!”

He experienced the greatest pain of his life.

He knew Kim Donghu had saved Evelyn.

Yes, up to that point, he could understand.

Honestly, he was even relieved.

Because Evelyn wasn’t hurt and everything ended well.

But.

‘This isn’t right, this isn’t right!’

The moment he saw Evelyn’s expression, his heart instantly crumbled.

A face that even the dullest, stupidest person could recognize.

The moment he saw the look of a girl deeply in love.

Thud.

Edward collapsed.

The problem was that the worst part was something else entirely.

-“No one but him can call me J, because I think of it as a pet name.”

For Edward, who seriously liked Evelyn not just as a fan but romantically, this was the worst possible line.

It was indirectly saying they were publicly dating.

Her expression was as good as saying it directly.

The MC’s surprised reaction was almost comical, but.

“…Why isn’t time passing?”

He despaired again at Evelyn’s happy expression.

Edward, who thought he could give her that happiness,

Felt a pain like his heart was being torn to shreds.

From that moment, Edward’s time began to flow insanely fast.

Unlike before when he trained just thinking about defeating his opponent.

Perhaps because he now had a more specific goal.

He decided to accept this entire situation as it was.

‘I’ll use all this anger as fuel to move forward.’

Click.

He turns on the TV.

Thinking he’ll never turn it off again.

After an uneventful July.

In August, “Will It Work Here?” officially began broadcasting on Netflix.

In the past, he would have refused to watch it.

But now he had completely changed his mind.

‘It has English subtitles too.’

I’ll analyze everything about you instead.

With that thought, he played the video.

“…That scene hasn’t appeared yet.”

Surprised that he’d have to wait for all 12 episodes, he calmly continued his training.

And about 3 weeks later.

The problematic scene played on the large screen.

Bang!

-“Everyone lower your hands, I don’t want to hurt anyone.”

“Everyone lower your hands, I don’t want to hurt anyone…”

Edward repeated Kim Donghu’s lines.

And continued his training.

Late September.

The main trailer for “Tarzan” was released.

As befitting a musical film, there were scenes of dancing and singing.

And gloriously decorating the end.

-“…I’ll kill you and wear your skin, Sabo.”

Kim Donghu’s murderous gaze.

The approximately 2-minute trailer ended with that.

“Ha.”

And after seeing it, Edward simply tweeted:

【 Fake Tarzan, you’re completely unqualified to be Tarzan. Feel ashamed that you’re by Jane’s side through disgusting luck 】

Feeling he couldn’t write anything lighter than that, Edward put down his phone.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

All this anger into strength.

All these emotions into driving force toward victory.

He kept muttering this.

And naturally, the community’s reaction was heated.

The public always thirsted for such hot topics.

They welcomed another sniper tweet like this.

Plus, Kim Donghu’s quick reply played a part too.

ㄴA frightened dog barks easily

Responding to aggressive provocation with aggressive provocation.

At first, Kim Donghu thought this was an act to promote the show.

【 It doesn’t make sense that she’s by your side, you need to be punished 】

ㄴHuh?

ㄴEh??

ㄴWhat???

ㄴHuh????

ㄴWhat?????

Originally, stories like this were about pretending to fight, saying harsh words.

Doing that, then fighting, determining a winner, and ending.

In some ways, it was a very one-dimensional structure.

Actually, it couldn’t be helped.

How could they build a nemesis narrative like in movies or dramas when they’d never met?

So usually the focus wasn’t on the story but on how evenly matched they were.

Their authority, position, or ranking, and what was at stake in the match.

But with the sudden mention of “she,” the situation changed 180 degrees.

[Breaking news/hypothesis… Edward… seems to have had a crush on Evelyn;]

-But seems like Kim Donghu took her;;;

-Looking at it, there’s no other woman who could be in the tweet except Evelyn

ㄴSo it was a love triangle? Edward → Evelyn → Kim Donghu like this?

ㄴKim Donghu, that crazy sun sword bastard… finally living up to his looks

ㄴHonestly, even as a fan it would be infuriating

ㄴIf you like someone romantically, it’s even more infuriating lolololol

[What Edward saw if the hypothesis is true]

-The woman he has a crush on made an MV with another man that hit Billboard #1, was #1 for 23 weeks? Anyway, legendary

-They filmed a movie together, obviously with kiss scenes, already firmly established as the Tarzan x Jane couple

-That “Will It Work Here?” thing was quiet but then hit Netflix #1 with him saving Evelyn

ㄴAnd it wasn’t just #1, it was #1 worldwide

ㄴExactly, wouldn’t that be infuriating? The whole world saw Kim Donghu saving Evelyn… honestly he’s marked her

ㄴThat’s not all? Add one more line from Evelyn on that cooking talk show

ㄴ??? : Only he can call me Jane, and he is my only Tarzan.

[Is it real that a heavyweight match in the 21st century is because of one woman?]

-This is really ridiculous

-Suddenly I really want to watch this boxing match

ㄴCurrently rumors say the best tickets are $1,000

ㄴEven general admission is about $500

ㄴIt wasn’t like this before, but Edward that crazy bastard sent it with one mention of “her”

ㄴSuddenly became the match of the century

[Evelyn should bow to Edward, suddenly became the woman of the century]

-Will rise higher than Bitcoin

-Currently <MEET> is climbing the charts again lolololololol

-Let’s conquer Billboard again

ㄴThis really lacks realism

ㄴIsn’t this just free publicity?

The heat that showed no signs of cooling down.

It was beyond just being a hot topic anymore.

Because the whole world knew about it now.

And at this time, Kim Donghu was.

“How do you charm women like that, I’m really jealous?”

“…Have you been well, Yerim?”

“You smile brightly, approach gently, and they all just fall for you?”

“It’s been so long. I missed you.”

“I get really angry but when I see your face it melts away, and when I don’t see you I get a little angry again.”

What am I supposed to do when you make people like this, I can’t build my career anymore.

He was having fun with Yerim whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.

++++++

September 24th.

Spring/Summer women’s collection showcased at Paris Fashion Week.

Of course, Louis Vuitton participated too.

The men’s collection was in June but.

They both had circumstances then and couldn’t meet after work.

It was only in September that they both had time.

But unfortunately.

This was after Edward had caused a stir with his tweet.

“You just go around seducing the whole country, huh?”

Yerim poked my side and continued.

“I was going to hug you right away after so long, but I held back, okay?”

Maybe it’s because she’s been modeling for so long.

There’s an incredible dignity in each of her words.

Should I say she’s aristocratic?

‘I heard she studies ballet too.’

Even her casual movements had a certain elegance.

“There were circumstances, really.”

“What circumstances. Honestly, I know everything, I’m saying this knowing everything.”

Muttering incomprehensible words.

Yerim just hugged me.

“Ah, the tough life abroad… I really endure it because of this broad chest.”

“But it’s a women’s collection, it’s surprising that I’m walking the show too.”

“Surprising? Of course you should. You’re Louis Vuitton’s muse.”

“And you?”

“Me… I’m Chanel.”

Yerim smiled broadly as she said that.

I heard she’s not far from conquering the 4 major Vogues.

‘I think I heard that models who achieve that can be counted on one hand.’

Aiming for that at such a young age.

Her talent was truly on another level.

Anyway, after going through various busy schedules.

As if giving a brief rest before things get really busy.

“I didn’t book accommodations.”

“So I booked a slightly larger room.”

“Oh really? Then I guess I have no choice but to go there.”

After enjoying a brief rest with Yerim at Paris Fashion Week.

When I came back to my senses, it was almost time for the trash talk.

‘I guess it’s about time.’

Honestly, since everything had been done remotely until now.

It was time to really see each other face to face.

Of course, there were tickets to sell and many things to consider first.

But the schedule had definitely been moved up.

And so, at the end of October that came quickly.

Ticket sales officially began.

‘Come to think of it, I’ve always been the one responding.’

Suddenly I thought it wouldn’t be bad to provoke first on SNS.

“Evelyn, would you be angry if I said I was going to use you for trash talk on SNS?”

“Now?”

So I asked Evelyn if it was okay.

“Yes, taking a picture together now.”

“So that picture would spread worldwide? The two of us together or something?”

“Um… yes?”

“Great, let’s do it right now.”

I immediately posted an interesting photo.

+++++

Crack.

The second time this year.

The phone screen shatters.

“I-I’ll k-kill him when I see him!”

Exactly 2 months before the face-to-face trash talk.

A tweet with a very suggestive photo.

【 Do you know the sound Tarzan makes when he takes Jane? @Edward 】

Tagged and delivered right before Edward’s eyes.

“…Uuuuugh.”

His eyes turn bloodshot.

The photo composition was outrageous.

Evelyn with her back turned, holding Kim Donghu tightly.

And Kim Donghu holding the back of Evelyn’s neck and waist.

Evelyn’s face buried in Kim Donghu’s upper body.

Kim Donghu boldly embracing her,

Gently biting her ear.

Truly a private photo of Tarzan and Jane’s intimate life.

“I will definitely kill you!!!”

He felt like he was losing his mind.
