“Huh? You’re here so soon.”
CEO Kim said as if he was surprised. It was a face that did not expect him to come so quickly after he called.
“Shall I go?”
Lee Wooyeon took off his sunglasses, threw them on the table, and sat down on the sofa.
“No. Welcome. If you haven’t come, I was about to go to the hotel.”
“Seriously, why do you come into someone else’s hotel room? What are you going to do if there are strange rumors and the way to get married is blocked?”
“Are you thinking of getting married?”
“I have many thoughts.”
CEO Kim sighed at the meaningful word.
“By the way, look at this.”
CEO Kim took out his cell phone and held it out to Lee Wooyeon.
“What is it?”
Lee Wooyeon roughly flipped the screen down. It was an SNS account filled with pictures of women in fancy clothes.
“You didn’t call me here to look at this right now, did you?”
“Look at the contents, the contents”
CEO Kim put the English text posted on the account in front of Lee Wooyeon.
“This shoot was a terrible experience. He was rude throughout and showed no respect for me. Hmm, should I explain further?”
“You want me to interpret it? You don’t know what’s going on after you read the contents?”
Only then did Lee Wooyeon confirm the owner of the account. Naima Kempman. She was the model who he had recently done a watch commercial shoot with.
“This is you, you. If she puts up a photo of the commercial scene from that day and write something like this, who wouldn’t know it’s you unless you’re an idiot.”
Lee Wooyeon smiled.
“What did I do?”
“You didn’t do anything. You didn’t do anything, so that’s why she did that.”
CEO Kim glared at Lee Wooyeon with a suspicious face. Lee Wooyeon picked up the bottle of mineral water that was on the table.
“Have I ever had a woman problem lately?”
There was no remorse. He looked up to the sky and was leading a life without shame.
In fact, even CEO Kim had no idea that Lee Wooyeon would continue an ordinary relationship for such a long time.
He didn’t expect it.
“Even if you look at me like this, I’m in a very innocent relationship.”
“Innocent? A guy like you?”
“What is a guy like me?”
Lee Wooyeon took a sip of bottled water and asked.
“… bad person.”
He was going to answer, “The dog of the world, a madman,” but expressed it in the most refined way possible.
“Even a bad guy has a rare innocence.”
“You bastard with rare innocence. So, what are we going to do with this? The kids are already talking about it, saying it’s not you.”
“What the hell happened? I need to know to respond when there’s an article.”
“I responded because she wanted to meet me.”
Lee Wooyeon briefly summarized it.
“…Of course, you replied with pretty and polite words, didn’t you?”
“No.”
Lee Wooyeon closed his eyes and smiled. CEO Kim could not stand it and burst into anger.
“Are you working in this business only for a day or two? No matter how foreigners are, they have eyes and ears!”
“Don’t worry. No one was listening.”
“Then what do you do?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“CEO, do you do this business only for a day or two? The other model showed an interest, so I politely declined. It seems that her heart is very broken. I’m sorry that this happened. You can only respond like this. People will write the rest on their own, so what’s the problem?”
“You said you didn’t reply politely!”
“Do you have proof?”
Lee Wooyeon asked shamelessly.
“…no?”
“Is there any?
It was a refreshing tone that made him more hateful. CEO Kim glared at Lee Wooyeon, soothing his bubbling stomach with cold water.
“I don’t even have time to make a problem. Even Choi Inseop alone is too much.”
“It’s too much? For you?”
CEO Kim asked in disbelief.
Lee Wooyeon sat with his legs crossed and buried himself deeply in the sofa and nodded. It was relaxation itself.
“Isn’t Inseop overwhelmed?”
“No way. How good is he?”
That’s why it’s so daunting. This crazy bastard.
CEO Kim swallowed the words he wanted to say.
“So, when are you going to talk about Inseop-ssi?”
“…Haha. That’s it.”
Lee Wooyeon smiled bitterly as if he knew that. There was no need for CEO Kim to call him in a hurry because of Inseop. However, because of the possibility he did not know, he stepped on 130 in downtown Seoul to come.
“CEO. Aren’t you doing too much? I mean, because of the CEO, I left Mr. Inseop alone in his hotel room.”
“Is he a child? Why can’t he be alone for a while?”
CEO Kim’s face fell.
“Don’t tell me you took his clothes…”
“He kept saying he was going home. It would have been better if I tied him up, but that would hurt.”
He sounded as if he was being so generous. CEO Kim sighed and shook his head.
“Why are you so hard on people?”
“It tastes good when I’m hard on them.”
“….”
Representative Kim looked at Lee Wooyeon as if he was tired. Lee Wooyeon immediately added that he was joking, but he did not feel like laughing along.
“I wasn’t going to say it, but…”
“Then don’t do it.”
Lee Wooyeon laughed and cut him off.
“No. I have to. Stop harassing Inseop.”
Lee Wooyeon raised his eyebrows as if he was saying something absurd.
“Stop it. He looks half-dead these days. He doesn’t look good either.”
“You’re talking well for someone who gave me the half-dead manager.”
“Don’t you ever say a word? Poor Inseop. He happened to get caught by a guy like you.“
“How did he get caught? Inseop followed me around and got caught.”
It was an irrefutable fact.
CEO Kim and Manager Cha always sympathized with Inseop with all their hearts.
How could such a kind, sincere, and upright kid have his life twisted by Lee Wooyeon? If Lee Wooyeon throws him away just because he gets tired of it, what will become of Inseop? How does life bloom again? Won’t he get hurt anyway
If he wins, will he stay by his side for the rest of his life? He’s cursed, cursed.
The two of them were always worried about Inseop as they exchanged drinks.
What on earth is that guy saying he likes so much? CEO Kim opened his eyes and looked up and down at Lee Wooyeon.
“I will have to go. I said I’ll come soon.”
Lee Wooyeon muttered as he looked down at his watch.
It was a watch from a brand that he had recently advertised. Even if he shoots an advertisement, sponsorship was not cheap, and the famous brand sent him an exceptional gift. It was said that the brand, which was known for being the most expensive and luxurious watch in the world, was targeting young people. With the Asian market in mind, he could immediately understand why Lee Wooyeon was chosen as a model. The watch, visible through the gray shirt, looked casual and classy. It was perfect beauty.
…It seems like he roughly knew what was good. Depressed, CEO Kim quickly averted his eyes.
“Okay. Go away immediately.”
CEO Kim, who was gesturing as if to drive away evil spirits, raised his eyebrows after checking his cell phone at the sound of a text message.
“Hey. Do you want to go out for a night out after a long time? There’s a very nice Japanese restaurant around here.”
Lee Wooyeon laughed briefly.
“What did Mr. Inseop say?”
“What? Ah nothing.”
CEO Kim desperately hid his phone. However, he was quickly overpowered by Lee Wooyeon. It was an opponent that could not be matched with physical strength. Lee Wooyeon took his cell phone and scrolled down to check the conversation. As expected, the message that had just arrived was from Choi Inseop. Asking him to hold on to him for an hour.
“Do the three of you have a separate chat room without me?”
Lee Wooyeon raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.
“Don’t look! Don;t you know about privacy?”
CEO Kim quickly took away the phone.
“Why do you want to hold me?”
“Wait, they said they went somewhere.”
“Where?”
“I don’t know. Ask him yourself! Don’t pry at me,”
CEO Kim shouted. Wooyeon took out his cell phone from his pocket and called Inseop. Several beeps rang, but the call was not answered.
“Why? Isn’t he picking up?”
“Yea.”
“He avoids your phone calls because of how badly you treat him. Tsk tsk.”
CEO Kim clicked his tongue excitedly as if to listen.
“Yes. I was mean to him last night.”
Lee Wooyeon sat down on the sofa and smiled. Shaking the bottle of mineral water, he continued.
“As the CEO knows, Inseop is so cute. So I tried to do it in moderation, but I…”
“Enough. Stop it. I don’t want to hear it.”
It wasn’t just a flirtation of a lover.. Recalling the nightmare in the resort in Jeju Island, CEO Kim’s complexion turned pale.
“Say yes and ask where he’s going. Don’t make it obvious. You’re fine, but your acting is so awkward. That’s why you got fired from the drama.”
Laughing, Lee Wooyeon mercilessly pointed out the past of CEO Kim, who tried to change from a model to an actor but failed.
CEO Kim sent a text message to Inseop with his lips quivering. Shortly thereafter, a text message came.
“He’s going to visit Manager Cha at the hospital?”
CEO Kim checked the contents of the text message and opened his eyes wide. Wooyeon thought, and said.
“Not bad.”
“What’s not bad?
Lee Wooyeon knew that Inseop only followed Manager Cha. It seemed that there was a part of him that communicated with Manger Cha, who was also a manager.
He didn’t like it.
“Mr. In-seop has been acting strangely the past few days. If he has any concerns, he should talk to Manager Cha. He can go and ask Manager Cha.”
He left telling him to stay still, but if he secretly went out and went to see Manager Cha, he seemed to be in serious trouble.
“You don’t know what counseling means? The basic premise of counseling is confidentiality. And if you ask, Manager Cha will tell you well. Hyeon-gyu doesn’t know anything else, but he’s a guy with a good sense of loyalty.”
CEO Kim praised Manager Cha with a triumphant expression on his face.
“Are you done with what you want to say?”
Lee Wooyeon picked up his sunglasses.
“You really want to go?”
“Then do I fake it?”
“Lee Wooyeon. Did you hear what I said earlier? I told you to stop bullying him and treat him well.”
“I’m going to treat him well.”
Although he responded in a strange way, Lee Wooyeon was already going crazy wanting to see Inseop. If he knew it would be like this, he would tie his limbs up when he sleeps, to the point where he even thought about it.
“You know you’re scary sometimes?”
“Sometimes?”
CEO Kim let out a sigh.
“Don’t be like a suspicious husband. You need space to breathe in your relationships.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Is this advice from experience?”
“Yes.”
“Well, since it’s the experience of three marriages and three divorces, it must be familiar.”
“… Can I hit you?”
CEO Kim’s fists tightened.
“Of course not. They say that learning is life.”
Staring at the face full of vitality, CEO Kim let go of his anger. He summoned the best of his reason and spoke slowly.
“Inseop is in Korea because he likes you, but don’t take it for granted. That’s a tough job. You don’t know because you live apart from your family.”
CEO Kim quickly changed his words.
“Even if it’s you, Inseop is different.”
“I’m trying to be kinder because he’s different.”
CEO Kim hit his chest with his fist.
“I was considerate twice when you caught the kid. But if you did well, Inseop would… Ha, Inseop told me not to say this.”
“What is it?”
He had never seen anyone keep a secret after saying that. Lee Wooyeon urged CEO Kim, who annoyed him every time, as if he was annoyed.
“I went out to smoke and overheard Inseop talking on the phone at the emergency stairs. I’m surprised every time I hear it, but he’s really good at English.”
“He’s an American.”
Lee Wooyeon replied bluntly.
“Well, yes. Anyway, I thought he was talking to his mother on the phone, but after the phone call ended, he cried.”
CEO Kim was quite taken aback when he ran into Inseop, who flinched. CEO Kim quickly took a handkerchief out of his pocket and handed it to him.
‘Please don’t tell Lee Wooyeon. please.’
Seeing that grievous face, CEO Kim nodded his head reluctantly.
“If you were good to him, would Inseop have cried?
Lee Wooyeon smiled with her eyes closed.
“Ah, really. I’m really good to Mr. Inseop.”
“Fuck. Then, what if Inseop runs away to the United States?”
It was a scenario Lee Wooyeon did not welcome the most.
Come to think of it, recently he had been in frequent contact with his family in the United States. These days, it seemed like he could fully understand the heart of the woodcutter who hid the wings of the fairy. The problem is that he had no wings to hide.
“Yeah.”
Lee Wooyeon covered his face with the palm of his hand with an anguished expression.
He sighed.
CEO Kim blinked his eyes a couple of times before swallowing a bitter smile. It was rare. To see the face of human Lee Wooyeon, not actor Lee Wooyeon. He looked like he had a thousand-year-old serpent coiled up inside him, but he looked pretty cute when he was helpless in front of someone he liked.
“Wouldn’t it be better to get rid of his passport?”
Lee Wooyeon asked, raising her head.
CEO Kim wanted to go 5 seconds back and hit himself when he thought he was very cute.
“He can get a passport as long as he has an ID.”
He could tell without asking whose passport he was going to get rid of.
“I need to get rid of his ID. By the way, even if Mr. Inseop asks for a letter of identification, you can’t give it.”
Saying that, Lee Wooyeon’s eyes shone brightly.
‘How did you meet such a disgusting guy, Inseop?’
With an inaudible scream, CEO Kim drank cold water. Lee Wooyeon stood up from his seat and leaned his shoulders back.
“By the way, CEO.”
CEO Kim, who thought he was taking too long, answered coldly, “What?”
Lee Wooyeon took out the car keys that CEO Kim cherished from his pocket and put it on the table
“Try calling me one more time by selling Inseop’s name.”
“…”
“And we’ll see what happens.”
Lee Wooyeon’s elegant, long fingers tapped the car key twice. It was more horrifying than any lengthy, detailed threat. CEO Kim involuntarily swallowed and nodded. After hearing the answer, he asked with an angelic smile as if he had never threatened him.
“So, which hospital is Manager Cha in?”
