Cheol Yeong hurried Kyung Hwa, glancing at Kang Hyun.
“‘Are you a newcomer?’ and even hitting the lady’s arm, right? So, I did say something….”
“Kyung Hwa sister….”
When Cheol Young called her again, it was then that Kyung Hwa sensed Kang Hyun’s glaring gaze and ceased her words.
“When I asked the lady if she knew the person, the lady said she didn’t. But that person seemed to know the lady. I wonder where she saw her.”
Surprisingly, Kang Hyun listened to Kyung Hwa’s story calmly. But Cheol Young could tell. It wasn’t that Kang Hyun was just angry. When Kang Hyun got too angry, he rather became calm.
“Have the police check everything from the hair salon CCTV footage.”
“Yes.”
At Kang Hyun’s words, Cheol Young quickly responded.
Ring!
Cheol Young’s phone started to ring. Calls from sponsoring companies were pouring in due to the scandal article.
“Yes? Ah…no.”
Sweating profusely, Cheol Young continued to answer the incessant calls.
“Stop answering the calls and call Chaeso’s agency’s representative.”
On the other hand, Soy, who was Kang Hyun’s ‘closest’ in the drama, had been uneasy ever since she arrived at the shooting site.
‘Has this sister gone crazy? What will happen if she releases that as an article?’
Soy wasn’t enjoying life these days. Until recently, she had been the center of attention, with every single move of hers becoming an article. But since the start of this drama, nothing seemed to work out.
At the shooting site, she was always treated coldly, and the public’s attention was all taken away by Cha Kang Hyun and Shin Young Joo. People seemed to not even know that she was currently filming ‘Brutal Killer’.
Just one or two months ago, it was all about her, but suddenly, her presence was fading even on SNS.
Popularity may be a fickle thing, but she didn’t expect it to cool off so quickly.
So, being upset, she ended up talking about Kang Hyun unknowingly while she was ranting to a journalist sister she knew over a drink.
She even said things she shouldn’t have in her drunkenness, and it ended up becoming an article.
“Soy, it’s the CEO’s call.”
“Why?”
Already irritated to death, Soy frowned at the sudden call from the CEO and reluctantly took the phone that the manager handed over.
Hey!
“Hey, why are you yelling so loudly?”
Soy got more annoyed as the CEO yelled at her.
What? Hey? For real! When I pamper you, you think you’re on par with Shin Young Joo or Jeong Ha?
At the CEO’s scolding, Soy thought about how much money she had made over time and why she was being treated like this, even if she had been a bit stagnant lately. Anyway, she gritted her teeth, thinking that it would be the end once the contract was over.
Just now, I got a call from Cha Kang Hyun asking if you leaked the article. Is that true?
“What? How….?”
Soy was surprised and abruptly stood up from her seat.
Is that true? What are you going to do? What is this you’re doing before the drama opens? If the drama flops, are you going to take responsibility?
The CEO kept yelling for a while, but Soy didn’t hear anything.
‘How did he find out? Did that woman tell Cha Kang Hyun? Ugh, I’m so annoyed!’
As Soy’s face crumpled severely, all of Soy’s staff stepped back cautiously.
Soy, having to shoot all day with Kang Hyun of all days, just wanted to run away, regardless of the shooting.
Kang Hyun was someone who was impervious to any kind of coquetry. He even scolded me in front of many people when I called him “brother” once, asking why he was my brother.
‘I must be crazy. Why did I agree to do this drama?’
She had heard quite a while ago that Kang Hyun had arrived at the shooting location, but since he hadn’t called her to come over, Soy began to anxiously chew her fingernails.
‘Why isn’t he calling? He’s usually the type to call right away. There are rumors that he even hits women, surely he hasn’t hit her?’
Of all the scenes they had to shoot today, it was one where she fainted and Kang Hyun had to carry her out.
‘What if he throws me while carrying?’
Kang Hyun was more than capable of doing that.
But she had not known that, and she had flirted and winked at such a person, which might be why she got this role.
“We’re about to start shooting.”
The moment had finally arrived. Soy headed to the filming location, feeling like a cow being led to the slaughterhouse.
“Didn’t you say Cha Kang Hyun was getting married soon?”
Shin Joo clicked her tongue while looking at an article on her phone.
“He said he was getting married, but he hasn’t yet.”
Ho Jeong replied bluntly to Shin Joo’s sarcasm.
“He did get engaged, though. But is this really okay?”
“The article’s content is not yet confirmed.”
Ho Jeong, a longtime fan of Kang Hyun, trusted him.
While Kang Hyun could be reckless at times, he didn’t believe him to be thoughtless enough to bring another woman to the filming set while planning his wedding.
He wouldn’t have liked Kang Hyun from the beginning if he were such a person.
“Cha Kang Hyun is not that kind of person.”
“Hey, isn’t Cha Kang Hyun a man? Especially, he’s known for not stopping women who approach him or leave him. Just look at his face. He seems to be oozing with sex appeal that he probably can’t live without women. Honestly, I don’t like that face. Why should a man look like a lustful beast? I feel sorry for the woman he’s engaged to.”
Shin Joo smirked and casually walked back to her seat. Ho Jeong glared at Shin Joo’s retreating back.
“Did she see him not stopping women who approach him or leave him? A lustful beast? Seriously!”
Frustrated, Ho Jeong closed her phone.
Yoon wasn’t in a good mood because of Shin Joo either. The woman who went with him to the Bali shoot was not his secret girlfriend but Yoon herself.
Yet, malicious articles were written as if he had flippantly abandoned his fiancee and gone on a romantic trip with another woman.
Moreover, the articles depicted Kang Hyun as a professional who lacked etiquette by bringing women to overseas shoots.
“What if it’s not true?”
Ho Jeong glared at Shin Joo, who was looking at herself in the mirror, and grumbled.
“Yes, you’re right. Cha Kang Hyun is not that kind of person.”
If Kang Hyun were to reveal that the woman who accompanied him on his trip to Bali was Yoon, she was willing to confirm it at any time. It was hard to see him being treated like a bad person.
“Right, Ms. Seo?”
At Yoon’s words, Ho Jeong’s expression softened a little.
“Yes, of course.”
Yoon had begun to think that Kang Hyun’s scandals might have been exaggerated or falsified. She realized anew how hard a celebrity’s life could be.
“Sigh.”
Yoon let out a sigh. She was frustrated herself, and she couldn’t imagine how Kang Hyun must be feeling.
