Episode 26

‘Now she finally looks like a five-year-old kid!’

“Then I’m going!”

My steps felt light as I walked back, feeling somewhat proud for some reason.

As I walked step by step, I turned around and threw out one more comment.

“It’s precious, so give it back in a little bit.”

I could feel Hee-jae’s gaze on the back of my head for a long time, but I couldn’t tell what expression he was looking at me with.

* * *

At the same time, on the 【Typhoon Internal Medicine】 set.

Junho was exchanging lines with Oh Young-il, continuing the tense scene.

The PD was also immersed in filming, constantly showing his satisfaction.

From the moment he first saw Junho, he thought an actor who perfectly fit the supporting role he had in mind had appeared.

His experience was limited to minor roles and there were some inexperienced parts, but he trusted his own eyes, and that decision seemed to have been exactly right.

“What? This tie is the director’s? I just received it as a gift…”

As Junho’s flustered face was shown in close-up, the smile on the PD’s lips deepened.

Oh Young-il flew into a rage and grumbled.

“This is mine! You! Hurry up and give me back what’s mine! I treasured it so much I never even wore it once!”

Oh Young-il reached out and grabbed Junho’s tie firmly.

Junho also grabbed the tie in surprise, and the two men’s bickering continued.

“This is mine!”

“No, Director, let go first and let’s talk…”

“Take it off right now!”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa!!”

Soon the tie came undone as the props team had set it up, and the two men flailed about.

It was a scene that would draw laughter from viewers.

“Whoa, whoa!!”

Thud!

Junho and Yeong-il each overacted and tumbled backward.

“Ouch, my butt!”

Then the PD called cut and approached the two men, clapping vigorously.

“Good feeling. Good.”

Yeong-il laughed heartily as he stretched, and Junho also got up with a smile and greeted Yeong-il.

“Well done, well done.”

Yeong-il patted Junho’s shoulder.

In the midst of this harmonious atmosphere, a sharp voice was suddenly heard.

“PD, I have something to discuss with you…”

It was Im Su-yeon, who wasn’t appearing in this scene.

“Oh, yes. Ms. Suyeon.”

When the PD approached Suyeon, she said.

“No, I think it would be better to say this where everyone can hear.”

The gazes of all the staff who had just finished filming and were checking lighting, sound, and reviewing the footage turned to her.

Yeong-il and Junho were the same.

“You come here.”

At Suyeon’s words, her manager approached with hesitant steps.

Then Suyeon raised the corners of her eyes and spoke as if for everyone to hear.

“My wallet that I lost earlier. My manager found it while searching here and there.”

People murmured at those words.

The PD raised his eyebrows and said.

“That’s good that you found it. So, where was it?”

Temporarily losing belongings during busy filming and then finding them wasn’t particularly unusual.

However, there was a reason Suyeon gathered people to say this.

“He saw it through the window, inside someone else’s locked car.”

The people’s murmuring grew louder at those words.

Junho’s eyebrows hardened, and Yeong-il, who was beside him, asked.

“Ms. Suyeon, what do you mean? Ms. Suyeon’s wallet was inside someone else’s car?”

“Senior. So… I’m saying that someone, I don’t know who, stole my wallet and put it in their car. They probably thought they wouldn’t get caught, but they didn’t expect my manager to search all the way to the parking lot.”

“Huh… my goodness…!”

In the unsettled atmosphere, the PD asked her manager.

“Whose car is it exactly?”

“Well… that… I’m not sure either, but the license plate number is… 4084… it’s a black Nubira.”

“Whose car is it?”

“Isn’t it an outsider’s car?”

“What outsider would park their car on the set…”

While people’s voices were rising, Junho, who had been standing quietly, raised his hand.

Then the voices died down, and people’s gazes focused on Junho.

He opened his mouth.

“That car is mine.”

It was a vehicle that his agency had provided for Junho.

At this, Suyeon’s lips twitched, and people’s shocked voices could be heard.

“It’s Junho’s car?”

“Come to think of it, he did drive a Nubira. Junho’s manager was driving it.”

“Junho…”

Yeong-il also looked at Junho with a hardened expression.

The fact that an actress’s lost wallet was inside someone’s locked car meant one thing.

But Yeong-il shook his head.

“You wouldn’t do such a thing, right? Yes, you wouldn’t.”

Although this was their first work together, Junho was someone who would ask permission before using even a paper cup if it belonged to someone else.

“There’s no way Junho would steal someone else’s belongings. There must be a misunderstanding…”

Above all, for his smart and adorable daughter Chaea, he was absolutely not someone who would do anything shameful.

“Yes. I did not steal it.”

At Junho’s firm words, Suyeon’s lips twisted as if in disbelief.

She approached Junho with clicking heel sounds.

Then she spoke sarcastically.

“Then did my wallet grow legs and walk in there by itself?”

“Now, Ms. Suyeon. Wait a moment.”

The PD approached them, trying to mediate this ominous situation.

“Don’t be like that, maybe someone else or a manager did it.”

“Manager or whatever, what’s important is that my wallet was in Gu Jun-ho’s car.”

To Suyeon, Junho’s manager was just as displeasing.

Anyway, Suyeon’s goal was to use this incident as a reason to get the eyesore Gu Jun-ho removed from the show.

“Say you’re so creeped out you can’t film and make a big deal of it. I’ll help with the lawsuit against Gu Jun-ho, so…”

Slap-

At that moment, Suyeon slapped Junho’s cheek hard.

Seungcheol’s words echoed in her ears.

“If Gu Jun-ho can’t stand being wronged and causes a scene, I’ll handle the civil lawsuit for you too.”

“…!”

Everyone present was shocked by Suyeon’s action and couldn’t continue speaking.

Junho’s expression, whose head had turned sharply after being slapped by Suyeon, couldn’t be seen clearly due to the shadows.

“I’m really creeped out. PD, Senior.”

Suyeon looked at Junho with contempt and spoke in a trembling voice.

“How can we film with such a creepy criminal bastard? Manager, call the police right now.”

In terms of roles in 【Typhoon Internal Medicine】, Suyeon’s character held a higher position than Junho’s.

So if such an incident broke out, the PD would likely kick Junho out.

The manager picked up his large cell phone and pressed the 112 button.

Amidst the murmuring voices of people, while the signal was going through for a while.

“That’s right, let’s call the police. Police are the medicine for crazy bastards.”

From far away, walking toward them, the voice of Junho’s manager Seok-min could be heard.

Everyone’s attention turned to Seok-min, and only Suyeon’s manager turned his head and walked in the opposite direction to make the report.

“….”

Junho looked at Seok-min with coolly cold eyes and smiled faintly.

Suyeon snorted at Seok-min who approached with a confrontational, swaggering expression.

“You’re an accomplice too, aren’t you?”

“An accomplice?”

When Seok-min frowned and asked back, Suyeon crossed her arms and answered.

“It’s your car that you drive. Since you had an agreement with the manager, Gu Jun-ho must have stolen my wallet and put it in that car. Looking at you, this probably isn’t your first time… You already have several prior convictions, don’t you?”

“No, Ms. Suyeon. Nothing’s certain yet, but that’s too harsh to say.”

“PD, I’m the victim here! Are you taking the perpetrator’s side?”

“No, I’m not taking sides…”

When Suyeon raised her voice, the PD made gestures to appease her as if it were a misunderstanding.

For him too, this current situation was nothing but a headache.

“Senior Im Su-yeon.”

Then, Junho, who had been quiet, spoke up.

At this, Suyeon twisted her eyes and answered.

“What, do you have more to say?”

“When did you lose your wallet?”

Suyeon twisted the corner of her mouth and answered.

“Earlier when I was filming and you were resting, that’s when you stole it. Remember I said I lost my wallet then? You all remember, right?”

When Suyeon pressed the atmosphere and asked the staff, they all nodded with uncomfortable faces.

“Then if we check whether you really lost it at that time, we’ll get our answer.”

Suyeon retorted as if it were absurd.

“What kind of nonsense is that.”

“Seok-min.”

Junho didn’t respond to Suyeon’s words and called Seok-min.

Then he grinned and took something out of his cross bag.
