Episode 65

 

“…!”

 

At Yewon’s words, not only Director Choi but also the other production team members’ faces hardened.

 

Since everyone couldn’t remember which company the minor actors were from, they were only finding out now.

 

“…What, is that really true?”

 

Director Choi called the assistant director with a cold face to confirm the facts.

 

When the assistant director quickly checked the cast list and confirmed that the gangster actors were indeed from Future Entertainment.

 

Director Choi wore a serious expression.

 

Then Yeongho stepped forward in panic and began making excuses.

 

“I didn’t know these minor actors were from Future Entertainment either! And, and the minor actors are from our company’s subsidiary, so strictly speaking, it’s a bit different….”

 

“You didn’t know? Hmm. For someone who says they didn’t know, I saw you all greeting each other earlier.”

 

When Director Choi spoke sarcastically, Yeongho became speechless.

 

He moved his lips as if feeling wronged, but the atmosphere on set had already turned cold.

 

The staff were looking back and forth between the gangster actors and Yeongho with contemptuous eyes.

 

‘Future Entertainment has been causing a lot of trouble lately.’

 

‘Pushing in minor actors who can’t even film one action scene properly. They tried to force in a child actor too, right?’

 

‘They should tone it down a bit. Do they think bundling sales is everything….’

 

‘Don’t tell me they’re getting revenge on Yewon because they couldn’t bundle her in as the child protagonist.’

 

Inaudible words seemed to buzz in their ears.

 

Then, Yewon delivered the finishing blow.

 

“Oh no. Mister, I’m sorry. I think I said something I shouldn’t have….”

 

Yewon hung her head low and pretended to sniffle.

 

Yeongho was dumbfounded, but he couldn’t say anything to a crying child, so he could only stammer.

 

The gangster actors couldn’t say anything as they watched Yeongho’s expression, and that silence soon became confirmation.

 

“Ha! So you are close, after all.”

 

Director Choi felt not just incredulous but irritated to the point of his throat.

 

Though it was hard to pinpoint exactly what to say.

 

Director Choi was also aware of the current controversy that had erupted on the internet.

 

The controversy between Jeyeon and Yewon from the script reading incident that aired through 【Glittering Baby House】 was already unsettling.

 

It seemed like Future Entertainment hurting Yewon like this again couldn’t be taken lightly.

 

And actually.

 

‘This is a chance to reduce Future Entertainment’s influence!’

 

Director Choi, no matter how important capital was, had been resistant to Future Entertainment’s influence being this strong.

 

So he had been constantly looking for opportunities to somehow escape from Future Entertainment’s clutches.

 

But he had been troubled by the lack of any excuse.

 

‘…This is it.’

 

He should seize this opportunity.

 

For instance.

 

Using this incident as an excuse to refuse requests to increase Hongdan’s screen time.

 

But….

 

‘…She’s a relative, wasn’t she?’

 

Director Choi also knew through rumors that Jeyeon was CEO Cheon’s niece.

 

If she’s the CEO’s family, they might come on strong….

 

Director Choi hesitated.

 

Then.

 

“Director!”

 

Yewon approached with a childlike innocent smile.

 

Director Choi unconsciously smiled and welcomed her.

 

“Oh. Yewon. Is your hand okay?”

 

“Yes! This much is nothing at all. I’m strong, you know!”

 

“That’s amazing. Wow.”

 

When Director Choi gave a perfunctory reaction.

 

“Oh come on. There are many older sisters and brothers who are way~ more amazing than me. Um, I mean….”

 

“Hm?”

 

“Like Suheon Oppa! I want to become a very, very strong actor like Suheon Oppa too.”

 

“?!”

 

Kang Suheon is strong?

 

He’s definitely an actor with strong name value, but he wasn’t sure what aspect of him was strong.

 

Director Choi was puzzled.

 

“Suheon Oppa is definitely very, very strong. The men who were with him listen carefully to what Suheon Oppa says!”

 

“…!”

 

The moment he heard those words.

 

It was as if a fluorescent light had suddenly turned on in Director Choi’s mind.

 

“You’re right, Yewon. You’re absolutely right. You said that very well. Oh, wait a moment.”

 

Director Choi hurriedly turned his head to look for the assistant director.

 

“Where is Kang Suheon?”

 

* * *

 

-So, stop trying to bundle-sell the CEO’s niece.

 

Future Entertainment CEO’s office.

 

CEO Cheon was currently struggling with a sudden phone call from Kang Suheon.

 

-Didn’t you see the bad public opinion this time? Because of the CEO’s niece, I’m getting dragged into it and getting cursed at like hell?

 

“Hey, hey, Suheon. That’s…. If you just wait a little time, everyone will forget. It’s not like you directly did anything….”

 

-That’s why it’s so fucking frustrating. I’m getting my hair pulled for the crime of just staying still? Don’t you know how sensitive these kinds of controversies are these days? Do I have to endure all this unnecessary noise too? What if advertisements don’t come in well?

 

“Why wouldn’t advertisements come in. They’re not going to stop coming. They all come in…. Just calm down a little….”

 

-Ah, forget it. I don’t want my future blocked because of something like this, so stop whining about her screen time. A fucking child actor, what money does a kid even make. Stick her somewhere else.

 

Despite being the CEO’s niece, Kang Suheon’s behavior of speaking rudely without any concern made CEO Cheon angry, but he couldn’t say anything.

 

Actually, the person making the most money at Future Entertainment right now was Kang Suheon.

 

For actors without recognition, the CEO was the superior, but for actors who had made it to Suheon’s level, the CEO was thoroughly the subordinate.

 

-And, Lee Yewon or whatever. Even if it’s annoying that she’s doing better than the CEO’s niece, you should tone down showing it. Did you think it wouldn’t be obvious when you had minor actors hurt the kid on set like that? We’re all from the same company. Really, even if you’re stupid, don’t be like that. I don’t care what you do as long as you don’t get caught, but why do things that will obviously get you caught?

 

“!”

 

At Suheon’s words, CEO Cheon’s brow furrowed.

 

He had heard that the kid named Yewon got hurt because of the minor actors.

 

But he didn’t know that Yeongho had ordered it.

 

Suheon was right.

 

He didn’t care whether they bullied that kid or not, but if they got caught doing it, things became too big.

 

This time Yeongho had made too many big mistakes in various ways.

 

-She’s the lead actress right now. Don’t you know that if she gets hurt and the drama schedule gets delayed, I’m fucked too?? Do you have a brain or not. This is my comeback work after a long time!!

 

At Suheon’s words, CEO Cheon had nothing to say even with ten mouths.

 

-The director also said that if Time Entertainment formally complains, it’ll be big trouble, and if she and I keep getting entangled, we’ll keep getting dragged up and cursed at throughout the drama’s run. The male lead of a drama shouldn’t get cursed at, so is that okay? Is that okay with me!

 

“Director Choi said that?”

 

When Director Choi was mentioned, CEO Cheon’s heart turned cold.

 

-So tone down the bundle-selling of that kid. Or else I won’t fucking do it either. Don’t give me any more bullshit about asking the director to increase her screen time. I’m getting cursed at on set because I’m being lumped in with her!!

 

“Su, Suheon-”

 

Click.

 

CEO Cheon tried to hold onto Kang Suheon longer, but the phone had already been mercilessly hung up.

 

CEO Cheon stared blankly at the disconnected phone.

 

“Sigh… What is this….”

 

He roughly ran his hand through his hair.

 

He hadn’t expected Kang Suheon to come on this strong.

 

Considering that about half of Future Entertainment’s revenue came from Kang Suheon, going against his wishes was impossible.

 

‘Damn, it’s that bastard Jeyeon’s big mouth that’s the problem.’

 

CEO Cheon resented his niece.

 

If she hadn’t gone to the script reading in the first place and provoked that child actress Yewon, turning public opinion against them, none of this would have happened.

 

No matter how young an actress she was, if she had any awareness that she was an actor and a public figure, she shouldn’t have tried to ostracize Yewon so blatantly in front of everyone.

 

“Even Director Choi….”

 

Moreover, even Director Choi seemed to have turned his back on them.

 

If what Kang Suheon said was true, Director Choi had definitely already marked Future Entertainment.

 

And Jeyeon had definitely gotten on Kang Suheon’s bad side too.

 

Forcibly increasing the screen time of a child actress that both the lead actor and director opposed using his authority as CEO?

 

Even though she was his cousin’s niece, CEO Cheon didn’t want to go that far for Jeyeon.

 

She was just a cousin’s niece, not even his daughter.

 

After a brief calculation.

 

“…Sigh.”

 

CEO Cheon pressed his cousin Yeongho’s phone number.

 

He was sorry, but it seemed like he would have to take a step back this time.

 

* * *

 

A few days later, morning.

 

“Is Yewon still sleeping?”

 

Weon yawned and scratched his belly.

 

“…She’s probably awake. She’s just not coming out.”

 

At Lee Doha’s words, Eon and Weon simultaneously looked at Lee Doha.

 

They couldn’t help it because.

 

“Hey hey, still, you’re the adult here, shouldn’t you apologize first…?!”

 

“That bastard Lee Doha was pretty harsh. No wait, it wasn’t harsh. He’s always been that heartless anyway. It’s just Lee Doha being Lee Doha.”

 

“….”

 

Yesterday.

 

Lee Doha and Yewon had fought for the first time.
