Episode 94

A little later, at dawn.

The GLEET members left Yewon with Yeongeo and moved to the studio to shoot their new song’s music video.

While all the members were warming up with half nervousness and half excitement for their first music video in a long time.

“….”

There was one person.

One person who was in a very bad mood.

It was Ian.

Since he was working, he tried his best not to show it, but the members could immediately notice Eon’s low spirits.

Since Eon being in a low mood was too familiar a sight, Lee Doha and Yeonho left him alone, but naturally Weon immediately stuck to Eon’s side and started poking his ribs.

“Why are you in such a low mood from the crack of dawn? You’re the guy who was singing songs~ singing songs~ about how much you wanted to make a comeback? You like shooting music videos, don’t you?”

“…I can’t beat up that damn bastard. I want to rent a truck right now and ram right into him.”

Eon said while grinding his teeth.

The ‘damn bastard’ here naturally referred to Taeyoung.

That day, Eon listened to the voice recording file that Yeon Taejung had given him alone in his room, and punched an innocent pillow. Even listening to it again, it was truly infuriating content.

‘No matter how I think about it, I should have half-killed him that day.’

Not being able to kill him because they were in the middle of filming was his eternal regret.

Even though it was something that happened almost 2 years ago, his neck tensed up every time he heard it.

“It’s not like we didn’t know about it. It’s something we experienced, so why are you getting angry all over again?”

“I’m still angry that I couldn’t hit him back then, that’s why.”

“Hey, you don’t know this. Yeonho hyung kicked that guy at the lodging that day. I also spat in the coffee he drank, so take comfort in that at least. Actually, I spat in it every day anyway. But that was karma since that bastard basically saw me as a coffee errand boy.”

“…Really? Seo Yeonho? He didn’t say anything special that day though?”

“Hyung is more of an action person than a talker, you know.”

Weon said, shrugging his shoulders.

It goes without saying, but throughout their activities, Eon, Yeonho, and Weon hated Taeyoung terribly. But since they were on the same team and Lee Doha stopped them, they just endured it patiently.

So when Taeyoung left the group, the three of them felt really lost but also secretly relieved.

Otherwise, they thought Lee Doha, who was being bullied by Taeyoung, might wither away and die first.

“Anyway. We won’t see him anymore, so stop worrying about it. At most, we’ll just pass by each other on music shows. And that bastard will probably fail and disappear soon anyway, right? Then we’ll never have to see him again, very good.”

“….”

Even at Weon’s words, Eon couldn’t easily relax his expression.

The thought of that detestable bastard actively working in the entertainment industry made him feel disgusted.

“You’re not thinking of releasing that file, are you?! No matter how crazy you are, that’s really not okay!?”

Looking at Eon’s face, Weon asked with a slightly worried expression.

“The CEO also said not to touch it. Lee Doha also extremely hates things getting bigger. You absolutely can’t release that on your own!!”

“Shut up. Do you think I’m an idiot like you?”

“What, man?! Why am I an idiot?!!”

“Everyone in the world knows you’re an idiot.”

Eon said irritably, then sighed.

“…It’s just. I keep thinking about how Yewon entrusted this to me, that’s why.”

“Ah.”

When Yewon’s name came up, Weon scratched the back of his head.

Weon also didn’t really understand why Yewon thought that recording file was so important, or why she entrusted it to Eon of all people.

He just thought it was probably some innocent childish intention that adults couldn’t understand and let it pass.

But Eon couldn’t do that.

Of course, Yewon probably didn’t know what she was saying, but somehow it kept bothering him like a thorn in his heart.

“That’s just something a kid says. She said it without knowing what was in the file. Why are you worrying about it so much? Just tell her later, ‘It was nothing much~ Our soft rice cake bunny doesn’t need to worry~'”

“You really….”

Eon clicked his tongue looking at Weon.

“What!!”

“It must be nice being so simple-minded. If everyone in the world was as simple as you, it probably would have been destroyed long ago.”

“What’s simple-minded about me!!! You bastard!! I’m a very complex and delicate person!! I may not be… scholarly, but I’m not an idiot?!?!”

“Forget it, get lost. You’re no help anyway.”

Eon pushed Weon away with his foot, then got up from his seat.

It was his turn for individual cut filming.

However.

This uneasy feeling continued to persist.

“…Hey, Yeongeo.”

Eventually.

Eon called out to Yeongeo, who was waiting nearby.

“Yeah? What, Eon hyung? Do you need something?”

“No. It’s not that…. Have you heard anything about Taeyoung?”

“Ta, Taeyoung…? No? Nothing particular since he went to Two Track Entertainment… I think? Why him?”

Yeongeo asked with a puzzled face.

“…Don’t you know anyone at Two Track Entertainment? I’m wondering if that bastard is up to any nonsense.”

“Someone I know?”

Yeongeo scratched his head.

“I can’t really remember…. I’ll look into it. Taeyoung’s current situation.”

“Yeah. I’m asking you.”

Although Eon hated asking others for favors more than anything in the world, Yeongeo was a bit different.

Since he’s going to inherit Time Entertainment anyway, it should be okay to ask him for this much. If I do well, this guy does well too.

Meanwhile, Yeongeo’s mouth fell open at the words “I’m asking you” that came from Eon’s mouth.

“!!!”

And he grabbed Eon with teary eyes.

“A, a, are you asking me for a favor right now, Eon hyung…?! Sob. I’m so… moved….”

“Don’t cling to me!! Get away!!”

Why does everyone keep crying…!

Eon shook off Yeongeo in disgust.

I wonder if I can trust this guy.

It was a dawn that naturally made him sigh.

* * *

Inside Mirae Entertainment’s van.

“….”

Jeyeon was staring out the window with a sullen face. There was no way she could be in a good mood.

Recently, she had been failing every single audition.

On the other hand, Lee Yewon, that girl had been on a winning streak since 【The Flowers of the Eastern Palace】.

‘Uncle. I want to play a lead role too. Why haven’t I been getting anything new lately?’

‘Lead role? Ha! These days, all the child actor scripts go to Lee Yewon first. You’re next in line, so there’s nothing we can do. Wait a bit. If you’re upset, then become more famous.’

‘…!’

The company also talked about Lee Yewon, Lee Yewon every day, making her feel even worse.

When she got into Director Yeon Taejung’s work, she thought she would be unrivaled among child actors.

But things were turning out strangely.

Even 【Time of the Hunting Dogs】, the Director Yeon Taejung work she barely got into, kept getting delayed because the lead actor got injured.

‘…How annoying.’

Jeyeon bit her lip hard.

The world is unfair.

Some people are born with golden spoons and the entire universe helps them even when they do nothing.

But no matter how much her father and uncle struggle, she can barely get one role.

‘She can’t even act as well as me.’

Of course, objectively speaking, Yewon’s acting was much better, but there was no way Jeyeon could see that fact.

To her, Yewon was just a lucky child, and she was just an unlucky genius.

Just as irritation surged and she was about to grumble at her dad.

“Je, Jeyeon! We got it! We got it! We finally got it!!”

Dad, Yeongho, who had been on his phone in the driver’s seat, screamed as if shrieking.

“Ah, you scared me! Why are you yelling, Dad?!”

“A drama casting came in!”

“A drama?”

Jeyeon’s eyes sparkled. But she soon became indifferent.

“It’s not some web drama again, is it? I want to do a big drama like Yewon too!”

“No way! This time it’s really huge! You know Director Joegyeong, right? The director of <Midnight Rush>!”

“Huh?”

Only then did Jeyeon sit up properly.

Joegyeong. Even young Jeyeon knew the name. How could she not know that director who’s been getting the most attention in the broadcasting industry lately.

“You know that director’s next work, <Alice in the Winter Forest>, right? The role of Yun Seora there! That role came to you!”

“R, really?!”

Jeyeon beamed with sparkling eyes.

‘But I thought Yewon was supposed to do that?’

If nothing else, Jeyeon had been diligently digging up rumors about Yewon.

“How? Suddenly to me? You said Yewon was doing that, and that I couldn’t, Dad.”

It seemed strange that Yewon would suddenly drop out of such a good project and she would get in.

When an actor leaves an anticipated project, it usually means there’s some kind of problem.

“Is that what’s important right now? What’s important is that you got in!”

Yeongho giggled, even spitting as he laughed.

“Jeyeon, you beat that Yewon girl, man!”

“!”

At the single word “beat,” all doubts vanished from Jeyeon’s mind and only a sense of victory filled it completely.

Right. The circumstances weren’t important. The only thing that mattered was that she had beaten Yewon.

“Dad, I want to do that drama. I absolutely want to do it.”

“Yes! Of course you should! Dad will take care of everything.”

“If I do that, can I win a child actor award this time?”

“Of course! It’s Director Jo’s work! It’s absolutely a sure thing.”

Inside the car was filled with the father and daughter’s vain hopes and delusions.

Having no idea in their dreams what kind of events would unfold ahead.
