Flashing.

“… … .”

As soon as I opened my eyes, the gray world welcomed me again.

I thought it would be like this until the ‘extreme demon’ characteristic disappeared.

The place I woke up in the morning was none other than the Rookies dormitory.

NAS Entertainment was considerate of me, who had nowhere to go, and allowed me to use the empty Rookies dorm by myself last night.

Trudging.

I wasn’t very hungry.

Instead of eating, I went to the bathroom… .

Shoot.

I washed my face and put on basic makeup.

“… … .”

After applying the cream, I looked in the mirror and saw a girl who was still pretty but looked a little haggard, greeting me.

There was one reason why I didn’t wear makeup properly.

At today’s press conference… , because there is no need to show too much makeup.

Trudging.

After washing my face and putting on makeup, I went back to the room and changed my clothes.

Clothes… , NAS Entertainment also prepared it in advance.

An oversized sweatshirt and sweatpants with ample width.

and… .

A black baseball cap from the New York Yankees team.

Swoosh-, swoosh.

The sweatshirt had too much sleeves even for me with long arms, so I had to pull them in a little.

For reference, this was an outfit personally prepared by the person who will be the Rookies stylist team leader this time.

At first it looked loose, but after coordinating it as she said when handing me the clothes, I was able to achieve a city boy-like sophistication.

Wearing sweatpants there… .

Pook.

As I put on a baseball cap that was much bigger than my small head, the girl in the mirror was pretty again.

But what can I say… .

The fashion is sophisticated and everything is pretty, but anyone can see that it looks natural, as if no one has paid attention to the clothes.

It felt like I didn’t have time, so I picked up a few in a hurry and put them on, but they were so pretty that they caught my eye.

Trudging.

After getting everything ready, I went and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

And now I practiced the script, which I had already almost completely memorized, muttering to myself.

For reference, NAS Entertainment also prepared a script to be used at the press conference.

‘We will hold a press conference. Please bring in as many reporters as possible tomorrow.’

‘… … Yes, we will do all the preparation. Miss Yerin, please take a break and wait. … You look very tired.’

To be exact, everything was prepared by Director Jeong.

The script he wrote himself in just one hour was very good.

I think of Director Jeong, who is more capable than I thought… , I memorized the script over and over again.

And when I memorized the script about 5 times… .

Ding dong.

“… … .”

The doorbell rang.

People came to take me to the press conference.

I immediately went out to the front door and opened the door.

Tiriring.

And the people who came to pick me up were none other than… .

“… Yerin.”

“… Miss Yerin.”

… They were Brother Sang-gu’s brother and Lee Kim-jang, a lawyer.

Originally, someone from NAS Entertainment was supposed to take me there, but… , Director Jeong changed it to having people from Brothers Planning take him there.

… Do you think being with people you know will help you relax better?

“Sanggu oppa… , Attorney Lee.”

Even though it hadn’t been that long since we last met, it felt like it had been a long time since we last met.

As I put a small smile on my face, Sang-gu came towards me with a frown on his face.

And then… .

Sigh.

“… I’m sorry for not being able to contact you yesterday. It must have been difficult alone.”

He placed his hand lightly on my shoulder and bowed his head.

He gave me an apologetic look. Even though there is no need for that.

“You were very busy. … It’s okay.”

“… … .”

“… How is your boss?”

Attorney Lee Kim Jang, who was next to me, answered this question on my behalf.

“There is no physical evidence over there, so he will probably be released within 48 hours due to insufficient evidence.”

“… thank god. Thank you, lawyer.”

“… Thank you, I did something.”

Attorney Kim Jang Lee lowered his head as if he had no shame.

I said that to Sang-gu oppa and Attorney Lee Kim-jang with a small smile once in a while.

“Then… , shall we go?”

“… … Yes.”

I’m going to do some work for Brother Planning… , their expressions didn’t look all that good.

We immediately took the elevator to go to the parking lot where Sanggu parked his car.

For reference, the parking lot at ZZ Castle here extends to the 7th basement level, and the place where Sang-gu oppa parked his car was in the guest parking lot starting from the 5th basement level.

So we got off on the 5th basement floor and were right in front of the elevator… , It was a time when I was approaching the now familiar black sedan of Brother Planning.

“… Ms. Yerin-!!!!!!!”

“… … ?”

As soon as I took a step closer to the car, someone called me in a mournful voice.

That voice, which seemed angry, was very familiar.

So I turned my head in that direction… .

“Ha Yerin-!!! Ms. Yerin-!! Let’s talk for a moment!! hey!! Stop-!!”

“… … .”

A man with a face as familiar as his voice was hurriedly approaching me, extending his hand.

He was none other than Shin PD.

**

yesternight.

“CEO Ahn, you crazy bastard-!!!!”

At his home, PD Shin expressed his anger by turning over the furniture.

That’s right… .

“Making things this big?!!!”

This was because Ahn, CEO of MS Planning, developed the Ha Ye-rin case into a blockbuster without even telling PD Shin.

“They said they would wait a year-! 이 개새끼가… ! What should I do if it explodes this loud already-!!!”

Of course, PD Shin thought that CEO Ahn would approach Ha Ye-rin about a year after Rookies’ activities ended.

I never thought something like this would happen before Rookies debut… .

“Ha… , It’s really fucked up… .”

If they found out that PD Shin was also caught in the middle of this tampering incident, there was no way they would remain silent at headquarters.

Danggang.

That too will all come out right away.

“Ha Yerin… , I guess you didn’t say anything… ? Please don’t say anything… . But it can’t be like that… !”

No matter how much Shin PD warned her, there was no way Ha Ye-rin would not tell NAS about how Shin PD introduced her to MS Planning in this situation.

It was at that time that Shin PD hit the desk once again and felt anxious inside.

Turrr.

“… … !”

When his phone suddenly rang, I quickly picked it up and checked it… .

“… Fuck.”

[Headquarters Director Jeong.]

… The other person was Director Jeong, who decided to take full charge of Rookies this time.

There was no way that Director Jeong, who we did not have a very close relationship with, would suddenly call me to say hello.

PD Shin finished mentally preparing himself and pressed the call button.

“… Hello, hello.”

[Producer Shin Ji-cheon. This is Director Jeong.]

“Ah, yes, yes… ! Director Jeong… . W-what happened… .”

[I don’t have time, so I’ll just get to the point.]

Director Jeong’s tone, as cold as a harsh winter, sounded like King Yeomra issuing a death sentence.

[This incident… , the headquarters will not just ignore it.]

“Now, wait a minute! Director Jeong! Haye-rin, everything it said was a lie! I can explain!”

[You didn’t even say exactly what this was, so what are you going to explain?]

“… … !”

Oh no.

I acted too hastily and got pushed back by Director Jeong’s pace.

As PD Shin regretted this and hit his mouth, Director Jeong continued speaking in a cold tone.

[Besides this incident… , Did you think we didn’t know that PD’s program participants had been sold to MS for a long time?]

“… … .”

[…] I just overlooked it last time, but this time it was too much.]

“Um, Director Jeong… , I was wrong. so… .”

[Considering the prestige of the Nnet broadcasting station, I will not go to the extent of an internal investigation. … So, please finish it on your own before it gets in trouble.]

Finish it on your own before it gets in trouble.

This was to tell him to take off his clothes before placing all responsibility on him.

‘Oh, no… !’

As soon as PD Shin heard those words, he felt like everything was falling apart.

no… , was actually falling apart.

After graduating from college, he joined a terrestrial broadcasting station and moved to his current job, Nnet. Everything he has accumulated… .

He ran towards the finish line faster than anyone else… , the first of his classmates to be declared out of the race.

Shin PD, who could not admit this, began his final struggle.

“… This can’t be happening! To put it bluntly, how many shows have been huge hits on Nnet and how many viewership ratings have been updated! Everything I’ve ever done has been for the station!! How can you throw me away like this? This is absolutely unacceptable-!!”

[…] Are we going to go all the way to the end?]

“Yes! Let’s go to the end! How much have I done for the broadcasting station so far? Who do you think has no connections, lines, or support? The higher-ups will understand me! to the end! Let’s go to the end!”

With those words, PD Shin unilaterally hung up the phone.

And while I was wondering which of my network of contacts, like an octopus, to Nnet and NAS, I should call first… .

“… Okay, let’s first understand the situation properly.”

Among the staff members in charge of Rookies, he called the person he was closest to. and… .

“What? Press conference… ?”

We even received information that Haye-rin would hold a press conference the next day.

‘under… , fuck… !’

After hearing those words, Producer Shin couldn’t help but feel anxious again.

If Ha Ye-rin were to talk about the new PD in front of the entire nation, she would be in the abyss without any doubt.

Producer Shin, who believed that the first priority was to stop Ha Ye-rin’s mouth in order to recover, gently seduced the Rookies staff who were answering the phone.

“Ha Ye-rin, where are you staying today? … Oh, Rookies’ dormitory? Do you know the address of Rookies’ dormitory? I think I’ll need an access card too. … Oh, don’t bounce like that and help me just this once. My life is at stake… .”

Shin PD, who managed to obtain the Rookies’ dormitory address and pass, finished the call and slammed the desk.

“What the fuck is this because of this bitch!”

It wasn’t Ha Ye-rin’s fault that he was in crisis, but he hated her for being the most easy-going.

At this, he gritted his teeth and vowed that he would properly arrest Ha Ye-rin tomorrow.

**

next day.

PD Shin, who had been waiting at the Rookies dormitory since dawn, even confirmed that Brothers Planning employees had parked their cars on the 5th basement floor.

And as soon as Ha Ye-rin came out… .

“… Ms. Yerin-!!!!!!!”

I raised my voice and approached her.

“Ha Yerin-!!! Ms. Yerin-!! Let’s talk for a moment!! hey!! Stop-!!”

As soon as he saw Ye-rin Ha’s face, PD Shin’s anger boiled over again.

‘Because of that bitch… .’

Shin PD was planning to get out of this situation by somehow stopping Ha Ye-rin from joining.

And when public opinion quiets down again… .

‘Then I will use my authority and power to send you to the abyss.’

He planned to use all kinds of tricks and tricks to harass Ha Ye-rin to the point where she couldn’t live in the entertainment industry.

“… … .”

“Yes! Stand straight there for a moment!”

As soon as she saw PD Shin, Ha Ye-rin also stopped in place like a stone statue.

Producer Shin took long strides toward Ha Ye-rin and stretched out his hand.

“Are you going to the press conference now? If you’re planning on talking about me there… .”

And before his hands touch Ha Ye-rin’s body.

Whoa whoa whoa-!!!

His thoughts stopped, as if time had stopped.

‘… … uh?’

PD Shin couldn’t understand the current situation.

And when I came to my senses… .

“Uwaeeek-!!! Cough, cluck… Wow! Weeek-!”

He was rolling around on the floor, pouring out sour fluid.

“Wow… , heo… , Cluck, Cluck, Cluck… !”

‘Su, my breath… , I can’t breathe… !’

Producer Shin crouched down in pain and recalled what had just happened.

Just before his hands touched Ha Ye-rin’s body… .

‘I… , That radish bastard dares… !’

A Brother Planning employee next to Ha Ye-rin stuck a rock-like fist into her solar plexus.

Producer Shin is a very authoritative person in the entertainment industry.

I couldn’t help but be embarrassed because I never expected for a moment that something like this would happen.

However, after hitting PD Shin, he just calmly spoke to Ha Ye-rin.

“He suddenly tried to touch your body, so I stopped him… , Now I see that it’s Naaa PD. Have I created an awkward situation?”

“It’s okay, Sanggu oppa. This person is cheap even if he gets hit. He was the one who first brought up the story about MS Planning to me.”

“… Yes, that’s right.”

chin.

When the story of MS Planning came up, Sanggu took a step forward with a calm but angry face.

Producer Shin was frightened by this and shouted at him as if he were evil.

“Cough, cluck! Now, wait a minute-!! Oh, stop! Hey, are you crazy? I’m a broadcasting station PD! I can make that bitch fuck with just a few flicks of my tongue! Shall I do that? Huh?”

“… … .”

Sang-gu stopped walking when he heard that Ha Ye-rin could be harmed.

And Ha Ye-rin next to him… .

“… Sanggu oppa, please stay still for a moment, I have something to talk with that person.”

I stopped Sang-gu for a moment and approached PD Shin.

PD Shin saw Ha Ye-rin approaching instead of Sang-gu and thought that she had finally figured out the subject.

“… Yeah, yeah. Is the fact that I haven’t debuted anywhere a reason to criticize a star producer? Come on, get on your knees first! Do you know anything? I’ll just let this go… .”

and… .

match.

‘… … uh?’

His head turned before he finished speaking.

This time too, Shin PD was unable to immediately grasp the situation.

‘It was clear just now… .’

Ha Ye-rin slapped him on the cheek.

Until now, I always thought it was down… , slapped the trainee subject he thought was just an accessory.

At this, he once again shouted in anger… .

“This fucking bitch-! I don’t even know who is the best… .”

match-!

“Aaaagh-!”

This time, his head turned before he finished speaking.

‘Oh, it hurts…’ ! so painful… ! It hurts more than when I got hit in the solar plexus… !’

Producer Shin leaned back, holding his cheek, which felt a strange amount of pain, and Ha Ye-rin took a step closer and whispered to him.

“… I was wondering what to do with you.”

“Now, wait… , let’s not do this, just say… .”

“… You came to me on your own?”

Sigh.

“Aaaahhh-!!”

And then he hit his cheek once more.

‘Bye, cheeks… .’

My cheeks feel like they’re on fire.

But his suffering had not even begun yet.

Sigh.

Producer Shin realized faster than anyone else that Ha Ye-rin had a soft inside despite her sharp appearance.

The so-called external and intraluminal oil.

He is easy to control and is a pushover type of personality who prefers to get hurt himself rather than hurt others.

But today she is… .

Sigh.

More outspoken than ever.

Sigh.

It was colder than ever.

Sigh.

It was more ruthless than ever.
