Episode 27

* * *

During three rounds of hide-and-seek, Junho never once managed to beat Chaea.

“You little rascal, why are you so smart!”

When he ruffled Chaea’s hair and declared his third defeat, Chaea emerged from the closet with a grin.

“Chaea is smart, but Father is also naive.”

“What? Naive? Su-un-jin?”

What humiliation, hearing this from a five-year-old.

But Chaea placed her hands on her hips and spoke confidently.

“At this rate, I’m really worried you might get framed. That witch-like Im Su-yeon or whatever is keeping her eyes open and hating Father!”

“…Surely, no matter what…”

She wouldn’t frame me.

But Chaea clicked her short tongue and said.

“Mother said so. When that woman was in school, if there was someone she didn’t like, she’d frame them as thieves and make them outcasts. Mother’s acquaintance’s younger sibling’s cousin’s eighth cousin was a victim!”

“Older Sister Saebyeol said that?”

“Uh-huh! One time, what happened was…”

When Saebyeol’s stories came up, he could never ignore them.

“…Oh, what should I do.”

Junho, now a bit flustered, finally showed a truly worried expression, and Chaea grinned as she spoke.

“Last time Seok-min Uncle took that photo of Chaea and Father. That one.”

And she pointed with her small hand to the photo of Junho and Chaea on the wall.

“How about asking Uncle Seok-min for help?”

* * *

“Wow, isn’t that a digital camera!”

When Seok-min pulled out a shiny silver domestic digital camera, the camera director’s eyes lit up as he approached.

“Ah, I wanted to buy a digital camera too, but I couldn’t get my wife’s permission. It’s completely new.”

“A digital camera?”

The camera director stepped forward to explain to the staff.

“Right, this camera doesn’t need film.”

People made puzzled sounds at his words.

“A camera without film… what does that mean…”

“Well, it stores captured images as electronic signals in memory. You don’t understand what I mean, right? Anyway, even without film, photos go click-click.”

Yes, an innovative and modern new camera.

Seok-min proudly raised his number one treasure, the digital camera, high above his head.

“That’s right. This is my digital camera. Digi.”

This camera was a great collection of modern technology that Seok-min bought as soon as he received his first paycheck.

An object he kept by his side when working, eating, and even sleeping.

“Anyway, with this, I clearly captured it.”

Seok-min’s gaze turned toward Suyeon.

“Decisive evidence that neither Junho hyung nor I are the culprits of this incident.”

When Seok-min pulled out the digital camera, Suyeon’s eyes, which had been raised as if asking what he was doing, began to shake violently.

Seok-min spoke to the filming director who still couldn’t take his eyes off the digital camera.

“Director, on this screen here, you can immediately check the photos I took. Would you like to look together?”

“Oh, sounds good.”

When Seok-min pressed a button, the photos he had taken while Junho was filming were revealed.

“Wow. You can see everything that was taken.”

Junho’s hand, skillfully moving the direction buttons, stopped, and what appeared next was a photo of Suyeon.

The PD who approached Seok-min was startled upon seeing it.

“Isn’t that Suyeon’s wallet?”

“Where, where?”

“Look, look. She’s holding something.”

Everyone crowded around Seok-min to see the photo of Suyeon leaving the film set while hiding a wallet against her stomach.

“The time the photo was taken is here, right? 30 minutes ago from now. There’s a difference from when actress Im Su-yeon said she lost her wallet, isn’t there?”

Junho pointed to the date and time displayed on the camera as he spoke.

“No, what’s going on here. Suyeon?”

Yeong-il, who saw the photo, hardened his eyebrows and asked Suyeon.

The color immediately drained from her face.

“That… that is…”

Seok-min continued to the next photo.

Earlier, Junho had said he felt uneasy and asked him to watch the area outside the set and take photos if anything suspicious happened.

It wasn’t difficult to come out of the stuffy set and take landscape photos, so he was doing that when Suyeon appeared.

Since belongings inside the film set were all mixed up due to everyone being busy and uncertain, she must have targeted the car.

“My goodness.”

The PD’s brow furrowed as he looked at the next photo.

Yeong-il was also speechless.

Because there was a photo of Suyeon picking Junho’s car door lock with something like wire.

‘When was this taken?’

To Suyeon, cameras were only inside the set, and they were all pointed only at the filming stage.

So she was confident that what happened outside would never be caught. In fact, she had never been caught even once until now…

“You asked me if I had a criminal record.”

Seok-min, holding the camera, spoke to Suyeon in a cold voice.

“Now I see it was a self-introduction.”

“…!”

The story that Im Su-yeon, a former child actress, had engaged in delinquent behavior while hanging around with bad friends during her school days was something that had spread by word of mouth in the entertainment industry,

but who would have thought she could even pick car door locks.

The atmosphere on the film set turned icy cold as if cold water had been poured over it.

Everyone’s gaze fell on Suyeon. Her manager, who belatedly grasped the situation, also hung up the phone and stood frozen with tension.

“Sigh…”

Junho exhaled and looked at Suyeon in front of him.

His left cheek, where he had been slapped, was still red and swollen.

Under Junho’s utterly cold gaze, Suyeon flinched and stepped back.

Junho’s voice echoed.

“Senior, why are you doing this to me?”

At this, Suyeon’s fingertips trembled.

Why was she doing this?

She couldn’t possibly state the reason.

Because there was no reason.

She just bullied anyone who upset her mood, whether by chance or intentionally.

She continued to bully them, bullying them until they couldn’t endure it.

As a child actress who had always lived receiving praise for being pretty and being in the spotlight, there were no adults who could discipline her.

Because I was born special, because I’m a special person…

“You…”

Suyeon glared and opened her mouth.

“You did wrong.”

No matter how much she thought about it, that was all she could say.

Small sighs erupted here and there at Suyeon’s shamelessness.

“You didn’t listen to me, you ignored me…”

Her manager, as if what was bound to happen had happened, held his forehead and hung his head low.

The PD held his brow and muttered.

“Oh my. I really misjudged this person.”

When we cast her, she seemed so cheerful and bright that I thought there would be no problems.

But to pull this kind of stunt on the film set.

Yeong-il also looked at Suyeon with an incredulous expression.

Suyeon continued speaking while glaring at Junho, showing no signs of remorse.

“Gu Jun-ho, you and that eyesore of a daughter made me feel bad first…”

“PD.”

At that moment, Yeong-il spoke in a deep voice.

Junho turned his gaze to look at Yeong-il.

Yeong-il’s eyebrows, which were always kind to his juniors, were hardened like never before.

“I can’t continue filming like this.”

At this, the staff began murmuring loudly.

【Typhoon Internal Medicine】 without Oh Young-il, the lead actor and internal medicine doctor of 【Typhoon Internal Medicine】, wasn’t just fish-shaped bread without red beans—it was fish-shaped bread without red beans or bread.

In other words, it would be nothing at all.

“…Senior…”

Junho’s heart pounded.

Yeong-il spoke to the PD with a resolute expression.

In his acting career of over 30 years, he had never once made such a demand.

But just now, he felt absolute certainty.

“Remove Suyeon from the cast. If you don’t, I’ll leave.”
