“Damn it. How can she come back with the same name, who decided to make a drama with this script?”
He had no intention of letting this go as it was.
That’s when Manager Hong arrived.
As always, he was casually dressed in sweatpants, carrying a shopping bag. The bag likely contained lunch – kimbap, sushi, lunch boxes, sometimes even hangover soup. A firm resolve to feed him at least once a day.
Humming an old song, he entered the living room. Taeseok’s dark eyes flickered as he watched his steps.
Manager Hong brightened upon seeing the script in front of Taeseok.
“Seo Taeseok. Have you decided to resume activities?”
He carelessly tossed the shopping bag aside and plopped down opposite. Only then did he notice Taeseok’s chilly expression.
“Why did you hide it?”
“What?”
The script flew towards Manager Hong, almost flung at him. He awkwardly picked it up, and the problematic name was clearly visible.
“When did Choi Yeoreum come back?”
His smile vanished.
‘It finally exploded. I’ve been anxious since Yeoreum debuted with a short drama earlier this year.’
Manager Hong quietly placed the script back on the table.
“Don’t say you didn’t know. You two were close.”
“Closeness was in the past! After you and Yeoreum split, I haven’t been in touch either.”
Manager Hong defended himself, but Taeseok didn’t buy it. Whether in touch or not, he was sure Manager Hong knew through mutual friends, confident they would’ve shared the news.
“You must’ve found out. You were like siblings, taking care of each other.”
“You must’ve sought her out. She was like a sister to you.”
“……I couldn’t tell you because of this. You would’ve found out eventually. There’s no good in knowing.”
“When exactly did she return?”
“She seems to have debuted with a one-act play in January this year.”
Now it’s July, so roughly half a year. Taeseok’s half-year felt like an eternity.
He spent half a year frantically searching for Yeoreum. He used everything – money, time, poured it all out as if it was endless. Yet, he couldn’t find her. How could she have hidden like that?
And then she returned and succeeded.
While he barely hung on with nerve stabilizers, she was seizing a shining life. His heart seethed with rage.
“After leaving like that, she decided to earn money in this industry.”
“…….”
“What a bold move, Choi Yeoreum. If that’s her true nature, it makes sense. What do you think?”
“About what?”
Manager Hong defensively replied.
“It must have been a planned move since she dropped her innocent act and left. To pull off such a grand plan is necessary to deceive people, right?”
He asked but didn’t wait for an answer.
“I will star in Choi Yeoreum’s drama.”
It was time to stop tolerating her behavior. Taeseok’s brows furrowed narrowly. Now it was his turn to ruin her.
Manager Hong looked horrified.
“It’s a world where people meet and part easily. You used to date easily, remember? Just forget about it. Women are all the same, how is Choi Yeoreum any different?”
He blurted out anything in his panic, knowing how special they were to each other and that Taeseok never changes his mind once he’s decided.
“Don’t get involved again. You two are just a wound to each other.”
“You know, Choi Yeoreum was my everything. Not anymore, though.”
A hot lump scraped down his throat, tearing it apart. Right. He had turned her into someone else.
“What are you going to do now?”
“I have to pay her back. For daring to play with Seo Taeseok.”
Taeseok concluded crisply. His foggy mind finally cleared. Yes. Making her pay was the solution. An escape to resolve his absurd feelings appeared.
“Let’s go to the CEO.”
[Star Icon]“Bye. I’ll be back soon, sis.”
Yeoreum greeted the Alocasia plant. She had been watering it too much without realizing the corm was rotting. The leaves sagged lifelessly, so she went to the local florist, who cut out the rotten part and replaced the soil.
It was like a surgery. That’s why she was more concerned. She wasn’t sure how much water was right. Too much affection might rot the roots, which scared her.
“Yeah! Sis, have a good trip!”
It wasn’t the Alocasia that responded, but her housemate Youyoung, who was in the shower. She must’ve thought the greeting was for her. Yeoreum smiled softly.
“Okay. I won’t be late.”
