“Why is everyone making a fuss? I should change the password.”
Kang Hyun grumbled as he plopped down on the sofa. He hadn’t been able to sleep again last night. Just when he finally managed to doze off, Cheol Young barged in and woke him up, which irritated him.
“CEO, about the scandal……”
Moo Jin cautiously opened his mouth. Moo Jin, who had worked as Kang Hyun’s manager, had moved to JM Production and was overseeing the company’s overall operations.
“No.”
“Sure enough… But, this is no joke right now. It’s to the point where the production company has come to a full stop. The phones are ringing off the hook. The internet is plastered with rumors of your love life.”
“Which agency does she belong to?”
Kang Hyun, holding his splitting head, spat out nervously.
“She’s with Ga Yoon Entertainment. There were rumors that the CEO often plays pranks with the newbies, but I didn’t expect it to affect you.”
Kang Hyun had not been able to sleep properly for several days due to his worsening insomnia.
Ever since witnessing his mother’s miserable death, Kang Hyun had been suffering from intermittent insomnia.
The deep frown on Kang Hyun’s face well demonstrated his dire condition.
“Before we sue, have them take it down immediately.”
Kang Hyun, splashing his face with water, spat out irritably.
“Yes. By the way, there’s already a reaction because you said you’re going to appear in the drama. Things are progressing rapidly.”
Moo Jin tried to make light of the situation with a hearty laugh. Kang Hyun had decided to appear in
The genre of this drama was also noir, but with a love story at its foundation, it was a new romantic challenge for Kang Hyun.
“Finally, you’re doing a romance drama. The fans are already making a fuss, saying it’s worth the wait.”
In fact, Kang Hyun had hardly ever acted in a romance. He had been avoiding it for a while because it felt awkward.
But this time, he had no choice but to star due to the constant delays in casting the male lead.
“But sir, about Chae Soi. Her agency keeps asking for adjustments in her screen time, what should we do?”
Chae Soi was a rising star who had gained popularity after appearing in a supporting role in a recently toprated drama.
In this drama, she had a substantial role as Kang Hyun’s ally, but Chae Soi’s side had even hoped for a love line with Kang Hyun.
“They’re getting cocky because they’ve gained some fame.”
Once the casting of the actors was finalized, a new round of nerves among the actors began.
Starting from the order of names in the title roll, to quibbles about insufficient screen time, there were even demands to change the character’s personality if they didn’t like the predetermined character.
Chae Soi, who had been unheard of just a few months ago, seemed ready to act like a top star because of one successful drama.
“If they keep doing this, tell them we’ll terminate the contract.”
“But the penalty for breaching…”
“They’re the ones causing the problem in the first place. If we have to assign responsibility, they’re at a disadvantage. And even if we take a loss, it’s better than changing the story line and ruining it.”
“Yes.”
Kang Hyun was a person of chilling pragmatism in all matters, especially in his work. No matter how hot and trending Chae Soi was, Kang Hyun was not going to indulge her.
“Go now, I’m going to sleep.”
Kang Hyun rose from the couch and strode back up the stairs. The three, who were watching Kang Hyun’s retreating figure, slowly packed their bags and exited the front door.
“Anyway, it seems our representative Ga Yoon has finally lost it. He’s picking on our boss.”
“Right, I mean, what does our boss lack to meet such a person.”
Kyung Hwa said with a pout. From the time of filming the movie, Son Si Young had been openly affectionate towards Kang Hyun.
In particular, there were many newcomers like Son Si Young who aimed to make headlines by linking themselves with him. Even a fake romance rumor was perfect for raising their public profile.
‘No matter what, how dare someone like Son Si Young overstep. Ugly thing, not knowing her place.’
Kyung Hwa, a lookist, secretly sneered at Son Si Young, who fell far short of her beauty standards, as she left Kang Hyun’s house with Chul Young.
<In just one day, Son Si Young's side also denies the dating rumor. They clarified their relationship as a good seniorjunior one>
The dating rumors that had swept the internet all day regarding Kang Hyun ended in less than a day, dismissed as a ridiculous publicity stunt by Son Si Young’s agency.
In the living room of Seo Ji Man’s home in Seongbukdong, there was a perfect contrast between the frenzied Yu Jin, whose hair was all over the place, and the calm Kim Seo Jeong, who was just reading the newspaper, unbothered by her daughter’s antics.
“I would have done it if I knew it was Kang Hyun. Argh!”
Seo Jeong, who hadn’t even given a glance to Yu Jin, who was tearing her hair out, put down the newspaper and left the room. Then, Yu Jin also followed Seo Jeong out.
‘I wonder if she forgot to take her medication today.’
Yu Jin had severe anger management issues, to the point that she needed medication.
“Mom, I’ll do it. I’ll get married!”
“Stop saying nonsense!”
Seo Jeong swallowed headache pills and water while gripping her throbbing head, all day long, due to Yu Jin who was throwing a tantrum.
“Why didn’t you tell me it was Kang Hyun from the start? Sob sob.”
Yu Jin now started whining with tears attached.
“Are you crazy? You said that Kang Hyun suddenly showed up in the arranged meeting?”
“Where does such a thing happen? Ugh!”
Yu Jin seemed to be going mad. Kang Hyun was someone she had admired since she was young.
But she had never thought of marrying him. Suddenly becoming a model, then an actor, spreading scandals, and having complicated relationships with women, she had virtually given up.
He never showed up at social gatherings in the political or business circles, so she couldn’t even meet him. Suddenly, Kang Hyun appeared as Yun’s marriage partner, which made her feel dizzy.
She had never imagined that Kang Hyun would appear in the arranged meeting that she had declined. In a word, it was like giving a bone to a dog after dying.
“No! I will definitely do it. Can’t mom talk well with dad?”
Yu Jin grabbed Seo Jeong’s arm and pleaded.
“It’s already decided. The engagement ceremony is in two weeks, what are you talking about?”
Both families only needed to finalize the marriage, so they had skipped the formal meeting.
“Why so fast!”
Yu Jin jumped up.
“Also, Kang Hyun can’t do. Not even Cha Yu Hyun, but especially not Kang Hyun, don’t you know?”
“Argh! Kang Hyun is mine. If Yun dares to touch my……I won’t let it pass. Argh!”
Seo Jeong, who was looking at Yu Jin now rolling on the kitchen floor, sighed and went back to her room.
“People are so superficial. What’s so good about a playboy with a doglike personality, tsk.”
She wondered how Yu Jin could be so naive, having seen the pain she was enduring while living with her playboy husband.
Then, an idea suddenly flashed in Seo Jeong’s mind, and the corners of her mouth lifted.
“That’s right, Yun, you should also experience what it’s like to be with a playboy husband. Hohoho.”
