Yeo Woon held her breath and watched her own acting. The tone of her lines was fine, the rhythm wasn’t broken, and she seemed to mesh well with Han Seo Ah. And more than anything, there were no awkward moments in the flow of the scene. Yeo Woon finally started watching the screen with a slightly relaxed mind.

She didn’t realize her knees had gotten sore until she looked down to see that she had been kneeling while watching the drama.

She didn’t need to be that devout.

Yeo Woon chuckled softly, sat comfortably, and picked up a piece of chicken. The Yeo Woon on the screen was dancing crazily and singing, while Han Seo Ah was dancing awkwardly somewhere in the frame.

“Wow. Check out the vocal talent.”

“Wow. It’s not bad considering you were singing while dancing. I thought it would be a mess.”
“I did have fun, didn’t I? The scene came out well.”
Seo Ga Ram laughed heartily. Remembering the challenging filming process, Yeo Woon felt that, despite everything, the scene came out quite well.

The short but impactful karaoke scene passed in an instant, and the beautifully dressed Han Seo Ah reappeared on the screen.

Watching Han Seo Ah and Kim Sang Wook exchanging lines, Yeo Woon stared at Han Seo Ah on the screen.

“Han Seo Ah is pretty, isn’t she?”
“Not particularly. You’re prettier.”
“Wow, what’s this? I’m flattered. If only others thought the same way.”
“Why? You’re so pretty, Yeo Woon! A hundred times better than Han Seo Ah!”
“Really?”
As Yeo Woon tried to hug Seo Ga Ram, laughing as if there was no one but him, he playfully pulled back. Yeo Woon appreciated Seo Ga Ram’s words of praise and laughed in gratitude.

Time flew by and the drama was now at its last scene. Yeo Woon, despite knowing all the details, was immersed in the drama as if she were an ordinary viewer.

After the suspenseful scene, the drama ended, followed by commercials. Yeo Woon turned off the TV with a sigh of disappointment.

“Ga Ram, what do you think?”
“It’s fun, right? I think the ratings will be good, really.”
“Really? Oh, that’s really a relief.”
“It’ll be fine! Don’t worry. Should I go now?”
“Yes. You have a performance tomorrow, right? Thank you for coming despite your busy schedule.”
“Thanks, what? Rest well.”
Yeo Woon bid farewell to Seo Ga Ram, then cleared the table. While cleaning up the chicken and beer, her phone rang. It was her mother.

“Hey, mom. Did you watch the broadcast?”
[Yes, I did. The drama was fun. That boy Jun initially said he was too tired to watch, but he ended up sitting through until the end.] “Really? What made that busy boy do so?”

[It’s so nice to see my daughter on TV after a long time. Are you tired from filming these days?] “No, I enjoy filming.”
Yeo Woon was debating whether to tell her mother about the film she would be appearing in directed by Byun Ju Ho when she cautiously opened her mouth.

“I think I’ll be in a movie soon.”
[Oh my, really? You’re going to be in a film too? Won’t you be too busy?] “It’s good to be busy. Is Jun attending school well?”
[Jun is fine, he’s taking care of himself.] “Do you have enough for living expenses?”
[Don’t worry about that. I’ll handle it.] “……Alright. It’s late, you should get to bed.”
[Okay. You should go to sleep too.] Yeo Woon hung up the phone. Suddenly, being alone in the house felt lonely. Her mother and younger brother lived in the provinces and she had been busy working in Seoul. It had already been over six months since she last saw them.

In fact, the busiest member of her family was her younger brother. Her fouryear younger brother, Yeo Jun, graduated from medical school last year and was an intern at a provincial university hospital.

So, sometimes when they videocalled, her brother would answer the phone almost like a halfzombie. Despite this, Yeo Woon was secretly grateful that he managed to watch her drama even when he was so exhausted.

With a small smile, Yeo Woon got up from her seat and prepared for bed.

Since she had filming the next day, Yeo Woon took out a facial mask and placed it on her face. She couldn’t afford to have a swollen face after drinking beer. As she worried, Yeo Woon took out her phone.

She intended to just check the time before sleep but noticed several messages had come in.

As Yeo Woon checked them one by one, among the messages congratulating her on the first broadcast of her drama, she saw Seol Ji Oh’s name.

[Congratulations.] Below the succinct fiveletter message, there was a link. With a suspicious look, Yeo Woon clicked on the link which led her to an article.

[First Broadcast ‘Office Trap’, Who’s the Scene Stealer with Incredible Vocals?]

Yeo Woon nearly dropped her phone in surprise. She was the protagonist of the article.

There was a photo of her gripping a microphone, belting out a song, and below it was a brief summary of the drama’s plot.

“Incredible.”
Yeo Woon sat up from her lying position.

It’s my article!

Although the article wasn’t long, it praised Yeo Woon’s incredible vocals and her comically clever acting.

Yeo Woon couldn’t help but burst into laughter. She had only appeared for a moment, but an article was written about her. Yeo Woon remembered the name ‘Reporter Kim Ji Hyun’ at the bottom of the article.

Yeo Woon hugged her phone to her chest and lay back down. It had been quite some time since an article was written under Yeo Woon’s name. She felt a floating sensation, as if she had returned to her rookie days.

Before going to bed, Yeo Woon opened her messages to read the article one more time, when her gaze suddenly fell upon Seol Ji Oh’s name.

Ah. I realized I haven’t replied yet.

Yeo Woon typed ‘Thank you.’ in the chat box. Then, feeling it was a bit too formal, she erased the text and typed ‘Thanks.’ She even attached a smiling emoji at the end.

Ah…… This seems too friendly.

Yeo Woon contemplated for a moment, then decided to send the original ‘Thank you.’ She was about to press the delete button with her thumb.

As she was tapping in succession, her hand slipped. Yeo Woon’s phone plunged straight into her face.

“Ouch!”
Yeo Woon, who had just received a solid hit on her lips from her phone, let out a scream. Her lips were so painful that she momentarily froze, clutching her mouth with both hands.

Ugh……. I must’ve hit the corner properly. It hurts terribly.
