Episode 26

There wasn’t just one or two things he had overturned in such a short period. Geum Bitkang’s recognition, Dokgo Min’s muse, the lead role in , unprecedented view counts, and even Jegal Rok’s special treatment.

“He seemed nice? Though not as much as our KNUA’s pride, Myeong Jeha, of course.”

Ju Junseo was always the same. He couldn’t forget the runway and filed a lawsuit against his entertainment agency. Then he continued the sluggish legal battle.

‘I don’t even remember the details clearly.’

The entertainment industry where someone always rose to fame and disappeared. Something was always twisted. Like being unable to complete a picture because one proper puzzle piece was missing.

So Myeong Jeha suddenly became curious. How far would the variable called Han Yeoreum work? To be precise,

“Then get along well with Ju Junseo.”

How much would change from where to where with just Han Yeoreum alone.

“What? You told me not to get along with him before.”

“You said he’s a good person. Then it’s okay to get along with him.”

Jeha smiled gently at Yeoreum and thought.

The last piece of this damn regression. Could that be Han Yeoreum?

Maybe this time he could finally end it.

[The Cherry on the Parfait Belongs to the Heroine! Ep 3. Heroine Vs Heroine] 15:48

“Director. What are you watching?”

“This? A web drama.”

“Ah~. Then I’ll bring the snacks over here.”

“No. I’m fine. You guys eat them.”

The staff member didn’t pay much attention. It wasn’t a movie or drama, just a web drama. Just another snack culture content you forget after watching once.

“What does the director want to eat?”

“She said she doesn’t want anything. She’s watching a web drama.”

“Ah~. . You know that? The female lead in there. She’s our exclusive talent.”

The colleague who quietly lowered their voice spoke softly to the staff member.

“A 50% discount contract?”

“What?! Hey, don’t lie…!”

The staff member jumped up from their seat as if they absolutely couldn’t believe it.

Who was Gogyeol? The money-obsessed person among money-obsessed people.

She was famous for creating a tier system by picking out only people who would properly make it big. There was even a saying in the entertainment industry: ‘If you want to recognize star potential, go to Dokgo Gyeol.’

“It’s true. The director really likes that female lead.”

“Didn’t she come with the director’s cousin last time? Maybe that’s why?”

“She’s not someone who would give discounts for that reason.”

“That’s true…”

Just who was that girl? How amazing was she? Dokgo Gyeol would ruthlessly implement her tier system even for famous celebrities from famous agencies if they didn’t meet her standards.

A 50% discount was unheard of. Even Eun Baekhap, the most successful actress right now, didn’t get that kind of rate.

“Is this really that great? Just looking at the thumbnail, it seems childish…”

“I watched episode 1 too and it was fun.”

. The staff member had never heard such a title before. Usually titles were like this:

[I Called Out My Vixen Friend Who Was Hitting on My Boyfriend]

[Story of Showing Real Rich Kid Status to a Classmate Pretending to Be Rich]

“What was the title again? Parche what?”

“If you just search ‘parfait cherry’ it should come up right away.”

The staff member became curious. They immediately used their break time to search the title on their cell phone. A childish pink thumbnail appeared right away.

The staff member’s video watching method was as follows:

1. Click thumbnail

2. Watch the first 10 seconds, skip 30 seconds quickly, then watch another 10 seconds.

3. Repeat this three times and if it’s not interesting, exit the video.

No different from any other viewer who wouldn’t invest time if it wasn’t interesting. Average video viewing time: 1 minute 12 seconds.

So 10 seconds of passed, and just when they were about to do a partial jump.

A loud trumpet sound was heard.

-Our Wind Ensemble Club! We create beautiful melodies together! You must join!

There was a club promotion team stretched out on both sides.

Club applications had started in the auditorium.

-Club activities that have to be done for 3 years~.

Because of that made it impossible to look away, impossible to keep the corners of their mouth still, and impossible not to tense their toes, the staff member never did a partial jump even once.

“Aaah…”

Though they let out sighs here and there because they felt so embarrassed for some reason, they couldn’t skip even 10 seconds.

They could only focus on .

Three extras revealed themselves.

-Right?!

-Right!!

-How dare!! Monopolize Jun?!

Each one raised their fist in turn. The words were written on them.

-Really!!

-Absolutely!!

-Can’t forgive!!

It was the male protagonist’s fan club that always existed in romance comics.

[The Cherry on the Parfait Belongs to the Heroine!]

Only when the title appeared on the screen did the staff member realize this video had ended.

“It’s over already?”

The staff member had watched the entire 14 minutes and 12 seconds video without a single partial jump.

“This is really so ridiculous it’s funny.”

The staff member shared their thoughts with the other staff member who had recommended .

“The drama itself is funny too… But the female lead really stands out, doesn’t she?”

“Right? I even followed her.”

“What’s your ID? I want to do it too.”

The staff member even followed Yeoreum’s Yoosta. Then they went back to Intube to check out the comments.

“Huh? Why did the view count suddenly increase so much?”

The view count that had just surpassed 100,000 earlier was now approaching 400,000 in one go.

“This is it!”

“What?”

“Real-time trending video!”

had landed on the trending videos list in just 3 episodes.

[HOT/ Web drama with comments flooding in saying they’re watching in secret.jpg]

When you think of web dramas, usually

(Tail-wagging friend series.jpg)

Just looking at the title, it’s like “Yeah whatever, watch it or don’t, we’re gonna use our cute title”

What this is about is

(Dead Fish Eyes Yeoreum.jpg)

(Gaeul holding bread in her mouth.jpg)

(Junseo looking sideways from the rooftop.jpg)

I think you’ll know without me saying

You get the vibe, right?

It’s super fun so I recommend it

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is so ridiculously childish I could die but I still can’t stop watching itㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-But it’s heart-fluttering… Really… Really heart-fluttering

Who said you could make my heart flutter like that lol false advertising

˪(Junseo-Yeoreum two-shot.jpg) This is my Nick and Judy.

-This was so hard to watch that I kept taking breaks every five minutes, watch for five minutes then rest, watch for five minutes then rest, damn it

Now it had even expanded to online communities. This was because it rode the trending algorithm on Intube and got exposed to more feeds.

[Someone watching intently?ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋ This romance manga cliché is insane, just biting my lips hard]

[This actor is cute… His Yoosta feels good too]

[Ju Junseo definitely has good physique so he gives off real man vibes when he’s next to women]

-This is the drama board but is it okay to talk about web dramas?

˪;;Why not?

In several communities, stories about started appearing one by one in every drama category board.

-There’s a Pacheh thread, go there

It was a first for web dramas.

I opened the cafe door and went in. I had an appointment here today. I raised my hand to greet as I entered.

“Han Yeoreum!”

“Over here.”

And at the same time, two people at different tables greeted me.

“What!”

“What…”

And those two people looked at me with bewildered expressions, then turned their heads to face each other.

“Uh~. Should we go to that private room in the back?”

It was Chu Gaeul and Ju Junseo.
