“Move.”

Yang Ha-rin’s sharp words.

Soo-ah thought. Not now.

She wanted to move aside immediately, but she couldn’t because the condition of her formal dress wasn’t great.

Yang Ha-rin narrowed her eyes and said.

“Can’t you hear me? I said move.”

“I can hear you.”

Soo-ah replied, feeling like she couldn’t delay the answer any longer. She also took a quick step backward.

Rip!

“…”.

But at the same time, she felt the butt area tear a little more, and Soo-ah stopped again. It was forced.

“…”.

This was already ruined. Once a gap has formed, it’s easy for the rest to open up. It was obvious that it would tear as she walked.

Yang Ha-rin, with an even more distorted expression than before, said.

“Why, do you already think you’re some big star?”

Of course, it wasn’t a statement loud enough for the reporters to hear.

“Or do you think you’ve already won an award?”

She was just whispering with her chin resting on Soo-ah’s shoulder. Naturally, Yang Ha-rin had that much experience.

Thanks to that, the reporters who didn’t know the situation yet shouted.

“Oh? You two are friends?”

“What kind of relationship do you two have!”

In the midst of that, Yang Ha-rin opened her mouth again.

“I understand that you’re getting all the care from the agency, that Sun-il sunbae and Yeon-joo sunbae are accommodating you, and that your nose is getting high. But.”

“…Hmm.”

So, Yang Ha-rin seemed to understand that Soo-ah’s nose was so high that she was trying to have a long photo time.

It was the opposite. She just wanted to escape as quickly as possible.

“There’s a saying, ‘borrowing the authority of a tiger.’ No matter how much you pretend with a tiger mask, you’re still a fox. Are you really a tiger?”

“…I’m a fox.”

Soo-ah was the type to understand that being a fox was a good thing.

“Yeah, you know it well.”

And there was silence for a moment.

“….”

Soo-ah was confused because she suddenly thought Yang Ha-rin praised her, and Yang Ha-rin was confused because Soo-ah admitted it faster than expected. An awkward silence.

Eventually, Yang Ha-rin broke the silence first.

“…If you’ve finished figuring out your place, move.”

But right then.

Soo-ah handed something to Yang Ha-rin.

“…What is it?”

Yang Ha-rin was puzzled.

“…A hand mirror?”

Because it was a hand mirror.

Of course, Soo-ah, who handed it over, didn’t have any special meaning.

Didn’t they say that even an earthworm will jump up and bite when cornered? Of course, such a proverb doesn’t exist, but that’s how Soo-ah felt right now.

She just handed over whatever she grabbed first.

It was the result of racking her brains. It would be easier for her to escape if the camera lenses were focused on this side.

Flash flash flash—!

As expected, the flashes started to go off. What they were capturing was Yang Ha-rin blankly fiddling with the hand mirror.

Whack!

It was then that Seo Yeon-joo grabbed Soo-ah’s butt from the side.

Just a few minutes ago.

‘Why is Soo-ah standing there so stiffly?’

That was Seo Yeon-joo’s brief thought.

Kim Sun-il had already walked right in, but Seo Yeon-joo was standing near Soo-ah, waiting. She thought the picture of them together looked subtly pretty.

And Seo Yeon-joo soon realized the reason.

The butt.

There was a problem with Soo-ah’s formal dress. It was torn.

‘What the…’

For a moment, Seo Yeon-joo felt despair rather than worry.

It was something she couldn’t even imagine, but Soo-ah was naturally experiencing it. It didn’t even feel that surprising that Soo-ah was going through something like that.

Yeah, she had already seen that amazing body during the 808 shoot.

But she felt complicated. What kind of effort would Seo Yeon-joo have to make to tear that butt part? Impossible. Close to impossible.

No, no. Maybe it’s not completely impossible.

If she were to sled on her butt on an asphalt floor…

Wouldn’t it tear around that much…?

“….”

…Ah, what am I saying? Stop the depressing thoughts.

And the next moment.

‘…?’

Seo Yeon-joo’s emotion changed to doubt.

It was because the back of the formal dress was tearing more and more, and the way Soo-ah’s underwear looked was unusual.

It wasn’t a problem of being too revealing and provocative, or wearing something daring. It was different.

‘…It would be better if she wore something like that, what is that?’

A picture of an arctic fox character was drawn on it.

‘…?’

Only then did Seo Yeon-joo feel an enormous worry.

Some actresses sometimes use intentional exposure to play with the media, but what is this cute underwear?

There’s no way to utilize it. This is a bit much for Soo-ah’s image.

‘I need to say something to the stylist. What is this.’

Of course, Soo-ah voluntarily wore it and even carefully selected her underwear, but Seo Yeon-joo couldn’t even imagine that.

Soo-ah chose underwear like that? No way.

Fortunately, Seo Yeon-joo was experienced in this area.

Swoosh—

Seo Yeon-joo pretended to lovingly wrap her arm around Soo-ah’s waist and lowered her hand to subtly grab her butt. She wanted to close the torn part of the formal dress.

“…!”

Soo-ah was inwardly startled.

Soo-ah, who almost made a strange sound on the outside, rolled her eyes and looked at Seo Yeon-joo.

Why are you suddenly touching my butt? More than that, you caught me with my butt torn! While Soo-ah’s head was busy, Seo Yeon-joo whispered to Soo-ah.

“We’re both women, so it’s okay to have some skinship. Maybe we’ll look like affectionate sisters? It’s also good to write a heartwarming article later. They’ll write that we became close through this work.”

“Ah….”

Soo-ah was touched at this point. She’s a good person….

“Of course, you know I’m not doing this for the sake of the article, right? Next time, let’s make the clothes looser around the pelvis. What is this?”

Soo-ah nodded.

“Unnie, thank you.”

At that, Seo Yeon-joo smiled without realizing it.

It was the first time Soo-ah had called her unnie.

“You’re welcome. Who else would help if not me?”

“How should I repay this kindness? I’m worried.”

“There’s no need to repay it. Later, if something like this happens to me, Soo-ah can help me then, right?”

“I don’t think anything like that will happen to unnie. That’s why I’m worried. I think I’ll have to repay you in another way.”

A harmless word.

Seo Yeon-joo’s expression disappeared.

◈◈◈◈◈

Soo-ah quickly finished changing.

Kim Yi-seo wasn’t particularly surprised. On the contrary, she said something like, “You worked hard to endure it, formal dress.”

And the stylist was suddenly called to Seo Yeon-joo’s waiting room, and after a while, she left, tilting her head. Why are you suddenly looking for shapewear…. She muttered in a small voice.

A little later.

“…Why is she like this today?”

Kim Sun-il appeared with a frown. Kim Yi-seo, who had just helped Soo-ah change, turned her head and asked.

“Sun-il, what’s wrong?”

“I’m talking about Seo Yeon-joo.”

“Yeon-joo?”

“Yeah, she’s more sensitive than usual. Did she eat something wrong?”

But after that, there were almost no times when only the Mystic members gathered and talked together. Because they were so popular.

Too many people were coming to find the ‘Sword’ production team.

“Sun-il-ssi, your presence is amazing even though you’re a special appearance, right? You even filmed it while filming Special Mobile Unit 808? Do you really have two bodies?”

“You’re too kind. It didn’t take long because it was a special appearance.”

“I want to say hello to Yeon-joo-ssi too, where did she go?”

“She looked very serious, so I think she’s calming her mind before the awards ceremony. She’s a greedy one.”

“…Someone at that level doesn’t seem to care about short films, but Yeon-joo-ssi’s passion is always amazing.”

Very busy.

But that was only true for CEO Kim Yi-seo or Kim Sun-il. It didn’t apply to Soo-ah.

‘I like it better this way.’

It was rather fortunate for Soo-ah.

If people swarmed around her, she would be nervous above all else, and she might make a mistake without realizing it.

However, the only thing that didn’t come to Soo-ah was ‘words.’

The attention was tremendous, and it is at this moment.

Everyone who talked to Kim Sun-il and Kim Yi-seo carefully examined Soo-ah once before returning. With a somewhat regretful look.

—Those guys look ridiculous. It’s obvious that they want to talk to Soo-ah, but they’re just going back.

—Sunbae’s face isn’t friendly. It’s better this way. It also means that there’s no need to open your mouth.

—That’s for sure….

Soo-ah was slowly getting used to the bickering of the inner Wi Ji-hye Soo-ah and Yoo Han-soo-ah. And right then.

“Everyone, please enter!”

A staff member’s loud shout. The awards ceremony had begun.

Soo-ah got up from her seat.

Who will win the award? With a short question in her mind.

Without knowing what would happen in the future.
