“Uh…”

When Inseop looked back in surprise, a familiar face stood there with a smirk.

“Thank you. I’ll drink well.”

Kang Youngmo said as he picked up a can of beverage from her exit. Inseop had a bad taste. He thought he would meet someday, but he never thought he’d see them this soon.

“Hello.”

Inseop hid his discomfort and greeted politely.

“Hmm. I can’t say hello. Thanks to someone.”

“…”

Inseop did not answer and put the bill back into the vending machine.

“Did you receive the flower pot I sent you? It’s expensive.”

“…Thank you very much.”

As a result, the flowerpot was raised by Inseop. He later found several cigarette butts in the dirt while replanting, and realized how much the people in the office hated Kang Youngmo. His hatred for Kang Youngmo would be second to none, but Inseop could not harm Hwacho.

“Lee Wooyeon didn’t say thanks even after receiving the flower pot? Kids these days are really mean.”

Inseop didn’t think about it and he pressed on the buttons of all sorts of coffee. A cold can fell through the dispensing port with a rattling sound. Inseop took out the cans one by one and put them in his pocket.

.

He no longer wanted to talk with Kang Youngmo.

“By the way, did Lee Wooyeon come here today?”

Inseop, who was about to start walking, stopped. There was no one who didn’t know that Lee Wooyeon was a strong candidate for the Grand Prize. .

“Is there any reason not to come?”

“Ah no. There’s no reason not to.”

Kang Youngmo overdid it and waved his hand. Then he opened the ring of the can, took a sip of the drink, and smiled.

“I’m just worried as a senior. Is he okay?”

This kind of conversation was just disgusting. However, Inseop did not show any displeasure and calmly asked,

“What do you mean?”

“The scandal with Chae Yeonseo. They said they really matched well.”

Inseop thought it was so ridiculous that he seemed to be laughing.

“I know that the two are dating already in the news and newspapers.”

“No, no. It was really right.”

Kang Youngmoo took his hands and made some noise and made vulgar movements.

“I heard she’s 4 months pregnant?”

That story was a typical nonsense rumor surrounding the two of them.

“If you have nothing more to say, I’ll leave.”

Inseop turned around.

“Because of that picture, the manager must have lost his favor now. You shouldn’t think that he made a fool out of you. That man’s personality is like fire.”

“… What picture are you talking about?”

At the word “picture,” Inseop was unknowingly taken aback, and his voice trembled. It was a mistake. He shouldn’t have reacted.

“The picture of entering the hotel. There is a reporter I know well, and he said that his colleague took it. Well, it seems that it’s blocked, so the article hasn’t been uploaded yet, but I heard it’s only a matter of time before it explodes?”

“…”

“Lee Wooyeon, I didn’t see him like that, but he’s her lover. Well, that’s why he must have been so angry on the road, right? He’s an idiot if he stays still when someone is cursing at the woman carrying his child.”

After Kang Youngmoo finished his drink, he threw the empty can into the trash.

“Now they have to announce his marriage so that the two of them can’t go wrong. I don’t know Lee Wooyeon, but a photo of a female actress entering a hotel is a bit fatal. Hahaha. Shouldn’t he propose to Chae Yeonseo as his acceptance speech today?”

“…Is that so?”

Inseop replied mechanically.

“But today, producer Lee Cheolhwan will be presenting the grand prize. Does Lee Wooyeon have a big ego? Does he have a bad head? How many times can the two of them get caught?”

Today, Chae Yeonseo was also nominated for Best Actress. Her love affair with a top actor has been a favorite topic of conversation all over the world. The camera can’t stand that.

“With Lee Cheolhwan’s personality, there’s no way he could endure humiliation today.”

Lee Cheolhwan was not an ordinary drama director. Kang Youngmo knew the power better than anyone else as he experienced it personally.

“Tell Lee Wooyeon congratulations on winning the Daesang.”

Kang Youngmo patted Inseop on the shoulder and disappeared.

Inseop stood blankly and blinked his eyes.

Why were the two of them in a hotel…

“No.”

Inseop quickly shook his head. He reflected on himself, shaken by Kang Youngmo’s words. Lee Wooyeon couldn’t do that. He needed to fix his habit of constantly doubting about trivial matters as soon as possible.

Inseop stopped walking.

“Picture… ”

If Kang Youngmo had only talked about Lee Wooyeon, he would have completely ignored it, but the word “picture” was especially bothering him. The manager had to be prepared for the eventuality.

Inseop pondered and took out his cell phone. There was a reporter with contact information, but Lee Wooyeon’s manager could not call and ask about the presence or absence of the photo. There was only one person to ask such a question.

Even as the beeps went, his heart thumped because he didn’t know what he was good at.

<Hello?>

“hello. This is Choi Inseop.”

<What are you doing? Have you ever bought a house?>

Inseop had told Ahreum that he would like to take John with him if he found a new house. Of course, Areum and her father agreed at once.

“No. It looks like it will take a little longer. It’s different, can I ask you a favor? You can decline it if you find it uncomfortable or difficult.”

<What’s wrong, why is your voice shaking like that? Is it a bad thing?>

Even though he was lucky to ask for a favor, Yoon Areum worried about the other person first. Seeing her kindness, Inseop felt that his tears were about to flow.

“Thank you for your concern. It’s nothing else…”

Inseop took a deep breath.

“If there is a reporter you are contacting, can you ask them something?”

<Um, is it related to Lee Wooyeon?>

Also, she was quick-witted. Inseop quickly said yes and nodded his head.

<Well, the manager can’t ask the reporter directly. What should I ask?>

“Could you please find out if there is an article that has been postponed in relation to Lee Wooyeon?”

If what Kang Youngmo said is true, there must be more reporters who knows about it.

<Should I just find out if it’s an article?>

“Yes. That’s all I need to know. Please.”

<It’s not that difficult. I thought something happened because Inseop’s voice was choked up again.>

“..I’m sorry for asking you again and again.”

<Please buy me an expensive and delicious meal later.>

“Yes. I’ll buy you a really expensive and delicious mean!”

Inseop quickly responded. On the other side of the phone, Yoon Ahreum responded to him with a laugh, saying, “I’ll contact you then.”

After the call, Inseop put the phone in his pocket. Still, it felt like an hour. Even while trudging up his stairs, Inseop did not take his hand off his cell phone.

He’ll have to talk to CEO Kim first. Although unconfirmed, it was correct to report all risk factors.

He was standing in front of the waiting room and was about to knock, but a sharp voice came from inside.

“Why is a bastard who is usually cunning like a fox acting so stupid!”

Inseop quickly looked around. Fortunately, the surroundings were noisy due to the preparations for the event, so no one was paying attention.

“It can’t be helped.”

Lee Wooyeon’s answer came back. His voice was calm, unlike CEO Kim’s, so he couldn’t hear it unless he stood close to the door.

“What can’t be helped, what can’t be helped. It’s not too late even now. I’ll cover it somehow, so let’s go back when the camera hasn’t caught it yet.”

“Where are we going?”

“Aren’t you thinking about your career? What a great love, it’s so unusual!”

In an instant, his blood froze cold.

“Ha ha ha.”

He heard Lee Wooyeon’s light laugh. Inseop couldn’t come to his senses.

He didn’t know what the hell was going on, so he couldn’t even go in and just stood there with his eyes closed.

“You seem to have said everything, so you should go, Mr Ceo.”

It was a soft but firm voice.

“Do what you want! I won’t fix it even if the article is published!”

CEO Kim groaned. The door burst open. The two met before Inseop had time to hide.

“…!”

Embarrassment crossed Kim’s face. He closed the door.

What really happened between Lee Wooyeon and Chae Yeonseo? Is that why CEO Kim came all the way here? Inseop’s mind was confused, but he stood still and waited for CEO Kim’s words.

But after a moment of silence.

“…Good job.”

With a single word mixed with a sigh, CEO Kim walked away. When Inseop looked up, CEO Kim had already disappeared at the end of the hallway.

After standing in front of the waiting room door for a long time, Inseop managed to get his mind back. He should not confuse public and private. Assessing the situation came first.

He knocked.

“Come in.”

He heard Lee Wooyeon’s calm voice. When Inseop opened the door and entered, Wooyeon turned his head.

“Did you buy the coffee?”

Inseop took out all the cans from his pockets and set them on the table.

“I don’t know what you’ll like.”

Lee Wooyeon said, “I’ll drink it well,” and picked up one of them. Inseop stared at him like that, then opened his mouth.

“Mr. Lee Wooyeon.”

“Yes.”

“What happened?”

“What?”

Lee Wooyeon asked while tearing off the ring of the can with an expressionless face.

“…I heard what you had to say with the CEO.”

Lee Wooyeon, who was about to bring the coffee to his mouth, stopped and raised his head.

“It wasn’t much of a talk. I guess he doesn’t like my hair this time either.”

Lee Wooyeon smiled and took a sip of coffee. His mouth caught a smile that seemed to smell the coffee, but he didn’t look very happy.

“I know because I heard it. About Chae Yeonseo’s article…”

Hiding his trembling hands behind his back, Inseop waited for Lee Wooyeon’s reply.

It wasn’t because of that that CEO Kim got angry and left, it was just a misunderstanding, and what Mr. Inseop heard was just a rumor. He waited and waited for Lee Wooyeon to deny everything.

“Who said that?”

Lee Wooyeon’s voice was low.

Inseop’s eyes widened. He wasn’t denying it, he was asking where he heard about it.

“…I heard from a reporter I know.”

Reporters often contacted the manager to check the contents of the article, so Inseop covered things up. He didn’t want to offend him by mentioning Kang Youngmo’s name.

“Okay.”

Lee Wooyeon answered briefly and lowered his eyes. Inseop noticed that he rarely showed shock.

“Never mind.”

Lee Wooyeon set the can down on the table and stood up.

“It’s nothing special.”

Lee Wooyeon buttoned up his jacket. Watching his movements, Inseop stood there without saying a word. It felt like watching an actor acting on a TV screen.

“…isn’t it a big deal?”

Inseop muttered blankly, and Lee Wooyeon clicked his tongue with a displeased expression.

“That’s why I didn’t want to talk about it.”

“…..”

“It’s a good day, but what is this? I’m in a good mood.”

Inseop almost burst into tears.

Ah. Really, all of this might not be a big deal to this person.

“A picture…Do they really have a photo?”

If there was a photo, as a manager, he had to somehow prepare for the next situation.

No matter how publicized the relationship between the two of them, when photos of them going in and out of hotels are released, it is bound to become noisy.

Even as he thought of those thoughts in his head, he always felt sad.

“Because there is, it must be like that.”

“…”

The blood drained from Inseop’s face.

He remembered the story of Yoon Ahreum, who had read about the marriage of the man she was dating through an article. Was it fortunate that he found out before the article came out?

At that time, along with a knocking sound, a voice saying, ‘Mr. Lee Wooyeon, please be on stand by’ was heard.

Lee Wooyeon sighed and brushed Inseop’s disheveled hair up.

“It’s common in this industry, you know.”

It was a soft voice, but it sounded like a rebuke for ignorance. He was ashamed. Inseop couldn’t lift his head.

“Mr Inseop.”

When Lee Wooyeon called for Inseop, another urgent knocking sound was heard from outside.

“Let’s talk later. Even if you don’t want to, I have something to say to Inseop.”

“…”

Inseop tried to answer, but his voice did not come out. The person knocked a few more times

The voice of the staff looking for Lee Wooyeon continued.

The awards ceremony was broadcast live. If he doesn’t go out now, it will be a broadcast accident.

“I’ll be back, so wait.”

Lee Wooyeon lifted Inseop’s chin and lightly kissed him before leaving the waiting room. Inseop watched the door he went out of.

He put his hand to his lips. An unreal feeling lingered. For the first time in a long time, he kissed him affectionately.

Then he heard a message ringing from his cell phone in his pocket. Inseop mechanically took out his cell phone and checked his message.

It was Yoon Ahreum.

[There is an article waiting to be reported. I didn’t ask for the details, but can I find out if you need it? I hope it’s not a big deal.]

[It’s okay. No big deal.]

Inseop, who was moving his fingers, bit his lip. It’s no big deal to him, so he should have told him not to worry, but he couldn’t.

Why did Lee Wooyeon go to the hotel with Chae Yeonseo? Why did he himself recommend Lee Wooyeon to her scandal? Why does all of this matter to him?

If Lee Wooyeon had told him that everything was a misunderstanding, he would have believed it even if the article was published. He didn’t even show the will to lie. It’s just common in this industry, he calmed himself.

Inseop lowered his head while holding his cell phone.

The tears he had been holding back burst out.
