Episode 27

“Hey, Han Yeoreum! Normally you tell people before making plans, right? Huh? I thought you were only meeting with me today?”

“I’m leaving.”

The two of them each said what they wanted to say to me. I looked at Ju Junseo, who was about to leave, and said:

“I’m sorry. I thought it would be fun if all four of us watched it together… If you leave, senior, it’ll be kind of lonely with just the two of us watching.”

“Hey! What’s there to be lonely about when you’re with me!”

“Ugh, Gaeul. You’re shouting so loud it’s echoing. But are you really going to leave?”

“Then you should have said that earlier. I’ll watch episode 4 and then go.”

Ju Junseo obediently followed us inside. It was good that I remembered how Ju Junseo got angry at his manager during the script reading. If I act a little pitiful, he agrees to everything.

Ju Junseo. The best colleague. Five stars.

Myeong Jeha is a complete liar.

‘How is someone so gentle supposed to have a bad temper?’

Actually, there’s a reason I gathered them like this. Han Yeoreum’s materialistic calculator gave me a very good answer at high speed.

‘I want to create what you might call the Han Yeoreum fam.’

It’s a time when each other’s fame brings greater recognition. It would be good if rookie actors mentioned each other.

‘And these two have agencies too…’

It’s also good for hearing industry trends. It’s a field where a single mention could determine casting. To rise quickly and surpass Do Gyeoul, I need to be able to use anything.

We talked about recent updates before the episode was uploaded.

“Do you both have schedules lined up after the web drama ends?”

“Well, I’m scheduled to audition for a couple things, one photo call event. And acting lessons too.”

“A photo shoot and interview. And I’m taking lessons too.”

It was as expected.

‘I’m dying of envy. You really need to have an agency.’

As if sensing my feelings, Chu Gaeul cleared her throat.

“Well, do you want to audition for our entertainment company? Other managers speak pretty well of you too. We’re quite big and decent-“

“No. Don’t go.”

Chu Gaeul’s eyes sharpened at Ju Junseo’s quick interruption.

“Excuse me. Our entertainment company is pretty good, you know?”

“You can go somewhere bigger.”

“Somewhere bigger than here? What, Bon Entertainment? That place is kind of old-fashioned. It’s far from trendy. Hey, Han Yeoreum. Come audition for LM.”

“Don’t go.”

“I’ll call them right now! They’ll probably tell you to come immediately, right? The managers praised you so much-!”

“Don’t go.”

Ju Junseo’s conversation method is quite cost-effective. While Chu Gaeul says ten words, he controls her with three characters. I asked Ju Junseo:

“Why are you telling me not to go?”

Ju Junseo’s answer was unexpected.

“There’s been a lot of talk lately. That JC ENM’s agency might recruit you.”

“What!!!”

Chu Gaeul, who had been speaking at length, suddenly shouted briefly.

‘This is the first I’m hearing of this too, JC ENM…?’

Right now JC doesn’t have a separate agency set up. Maybe an MCN. Currently MCNs are mainly focused on influencers, that is, Intubers.

‘Later, when Intubers moved up to broadcasting, the boundary between MCNs and agencies became blurred.’

But definitely not now. As if reading the meaning in my gaze, Ju Junseo provided additional explanation.

“They’re in the process of creating a new agency, not an MCN. A completely different label. That’s what I heard. It’s not certain yet, though.”

Ju Junseo’s words meant, in other words-

“So Han Yeoreum would become the first actor to sign an exclusive contract with JC ENM?”

Chu Gaeul opened her mouth wide. Then she summarized briefly.

“Right. Don’t come to our entertainment company. Good thing I didn’t make that call.”

“Exactly.”

“You should go play in the big leagues. If it’s JC, you should grab it.”

“Right.”

Suddenly Chu Gaeul and Ju Junseo reached a conclusion. It was really clean. Like a duo who had prepared in advance.

‘The first actor to contract with JC ENM.’

Just thinking about it made my heart race. Meanwhile, episode 4 of was uploaded.

“It’s up!!!”

[The Cherry on the Parfait Belongs to the Heroine! Ep 4. Replacement] 16:10

Chaewon, having made up her mind about something, chose one method to secure screen time. That was exactly.

-…Go away.

-Hey, you know. Don’t you sometimes feel lonely being alone?

It was the Cost-Effective Heroine Strategy. A method targeting only one guy.

The essence of romance comics is ultimately the romantic front between the male and female leads. Chaewon, who could no longer create embarrassing moments in front of the entire school, began firing off lines that only romance comic heroines would say at Jun.

-One guy is better than getting picked on in the auditorium.

With that narration, she delivered her assigned heroine lines to Jun once a day.

-I don’t know about others, but you show it to me.

-….

-Don’t think about deceiving me. Sometimes, you find reasons to live even in relationships that mean nothing…!

After saying that, Chaewon simply went her way. Step by step.

There was no context whatsoever. Looking at Jun, she would reflexively blurt out such lines and then tune out. Left alone, Jun stared into space with dead fish eyes like Chaewon.

-Whatever. It’s a romance comic anyway. Then everything will connect with Hina. He won’t even remember what I said.

As soon as she turned the corner in the hallway, Chaewon pressed her forehead against the wall and rationalized to herself. They were lines that were somehow hard to say with Korean sensibilities.

-Heroines are really amazing… To say such lines, while sober.

Chaewon spread her hand and looked at it. It wasn’t blurry anymore. As if Chaewon’s choice was right. Just as she was about to become Jun’s heroine as usual.

A note was placed on Chaewon’s desk.

“Ah, this is that! The gymnasium storage room cliché!!!”

Aetami stomped her feet on the mattress. Before she knew it, she was covering her mouth with her fist. It was because she kept tensing up her hands and feet.

The scene that would follow was obvious. But obvious things were often the most delicious. Aetami was already looking forward to seeing Jun rush to the Storage Room to rescue Chaewon.

Creak-.

Finally, it was the moment when Chaewon opened the door and entered the Gymnasium Storage Room.

As soon as she took one step forward, there was a clank sound and the door closed. It became dark in an instant.

-Ah… This is that thing.

Chaewon, despite being the person involved, gave a much more dry reaction than Aetami, who was just a viewer. As if it was no big deal, she sat on the mat and took out her Cell Phone.

-Pi Chaewon! Answer if you can hear me!

That’s when it happened. She heard a familiar voice calling her from outside.

-…He knows my name?

But even after hearing Jun’s voice, Chaewon didn’t respond.

-Pi Chaewon!

-Ugh… He’ll probably break the Gymnasium Storage Room Lock and all that. That’s going a bit too far.

Chaewon didn’t want to ask Jun for rescue.

-I just want to get some screen time, but at this rate I’ll really become the heroine.

So, Chaewon made the sensible choice again this time.

-Hello. Is this 119? I’m currently trapped in a School building, ah. The Faculty Office phone. That’s one way.

It was when she briefly hung up the phone to contact the Faculty Office.

-Ah, shit… This is driving me crazy.

A voice that was too rough to be a pure romance manga male lead came through. A voice filled with realistic irritation.

-How long do I have to keep doing this.

At the same time, there was a pop sound effect like a soap bubble bursting. Chaewon’s eyes lit up as if she had realized something, and she immediately stepped on the vaulting horse and stuck her head out the high window.

-Hey.

It was a completely different voice from when she had used the Heroine Strategy in front of Jun just a while ago.

-You don’t tell me…

-…You too?

A beep- sound like tinnitus was heard.

[The Cherry on top of the Parfait belongs to the heroine!]

“Ah!!! How can it end here!!!”

Aetami rolled around on the bed.
