“You can park your car over there.”

Inseop told Kim Kangwoo exactly where to park the car.

“There are so many people. Can I just put it right there? Or should I go further?”

Since this was the first official event like this, Kim Kangwoo seemed a little nervous.

“Right in front of the facilitator. Leave it here for now.”

Inseop calmly pointed out where to stop. The actress who got off the van earlier had time to take pictures while walking on the red carpet, so they had to stop and wait a bit.

“Because it’s polite to enter on time.”

Inseop kindly explained to Kim Kangwoo and glanced behind him. The whole time he was there, Lee Wooyeon said nothing. He just silently stared out the window.

He didn’t seem to be in a bad mood.

“We’re here. You should be ready to leave soon.”

“Is that so?”

Lee Wooyeon, who was lost in thought, immediately looked away. Inseop unfastened his seat belt, got out of the car and went to the back seat.

“Wait a minute.”

Inseop meticulously examined the shape of his tie, how he was dressed, and his hairstyle. He couldn’t see anywhere to retouch. Originally, it was a job that a coordinator had to do, but because Wooyeon didn’t have one, it was all up to the manager.

“I’ve checked.”

“How is it?”

Lee Wooyeon asked.

“Actor, today you’re just…”

Kim Kangwoo turned around and tried to intervene, but then bit his mouth shut. Lee Wooyeon’s eyes met his. Lee Wooyeon didn’t say anything special or send a fierce look. He just glanced at Kim Kangwoo, but that alone gave him a sense of doom that was difficult to explain in words.

“What do you think, Mr. Inseop?”

Lee Wooyeon turned his gaze back to Inseop.

“It’s okay.”

“Just ‘okay’?”

Lee Wooyeon knew exactly how he looked. Unless he was blind, it was impossible not to know. He did not hesitate to use his own appearance. But since he wasn’t the type to show off at all, Inseop was puzzled by Lee Wooyeon’s question.

“Should I change into another outfit?”

It wasn’t like he was joking. He felt like he should turn the car around and go change clothes. Inseop quickly shook his head.

“You don’t have to do that. Because you’re perfect…”

Lee Wooyeon’s expression finally relaxed. As if he was waiting for an answer.

“Thank god. I wanted to be perfect today. “

He was about to say that he always looks perfect, but Inseop shut his mouth. He thought that this was not something an ordinary manager would say.

He should be careful.

Inseop quickly cleared his mind.

“Can we move now?”

Kim Kangwoo, who was watching the red carpet, asked cautiously.

“Um. Yes. Slowly.”

The van slowly moved to the front of the red carpet. When the van stopped, the attendant opened the car door. As soon as he caught a glimpse of Lee Wooyeon, the sound of screams and camera shutters started to pour in like a shower.

Inseop unknowingly shrank his body into the car. Even if he didn’t want it at this moment, he just realized it. The fact that he was not someone to be caught by the camera until the day he died.

On the other hand,

“Kyaaaahh.”

“Wooyeon Oppa!”

“Oppa. You’re so handsome!”

“Lee Wooyeon, please look here.”

“This way. This way!”

Between absolute cheers and violent interest, the man took a leisurely step.

Lee Wooyeon, who was buttoning up his suit, suddenly looked back.

“Then see you later.”

He was within reach of him if he stretched out his hand, but it felt like an existence forever out of reach. Inseop nodded his head without saying anything.

“Then, are you filming a drama this time?”

“Well, I haven’t made any plans yet.”

“If you have any good movie scripts, please tell me. I want to do the same work as my seniors.”

“I’ll do so when the opportunity arises.”

Lee Wooyeon smiled lightly as he stood with his arms crossed.

“Really? You promised! I will be waiting for a call from senior. Since my debut, it has been my dream to appear in the same production as my senior.”

“Aha. I see”

Inseop knew what Lee Wooyeon’s ‘Aha. I see’ meant. He was saying ‘I am not interested in what you’re talking about, so you go away.’

“I’ve seen all of your works. I also have all 11 movies on DVD.”

… Thirteen works.

Inseop thought while clearing the table without saying a word.

“Ah. I see.”

Lee Wooyeon’s voice sank lower and lower. The idol-turned-new actor who dropped by to say hello had been talking about the same thing for five minutes already without leaving the waiting room.

“Senior, may I have your contact information?”

Lee Wooyeon’s smile hardened. Inseop stood up from his seat. He was in a situation where the manager had to step in.

However.

“Here you go.”

It was unexpected.

“What?”

“Put your phone number here.”

Lee Wooyeon held out his cell phone.

“oh! Really? oh my god.”

The person quickly took Lee Wooyeon’s cell phone, put in his number, and returned it. Lee Wooyeon pressed the call button. When the phone rang, the person’s face turned red.

“I will save the number. Senior. Can I call you later?”

“Please do.”

Lee Wooyeon showed off his characteristic fresh smile. Then he said, ‘I’ll see you later’, and closed the door.

“Should I lock the door?”

He can already count on two hands the number of people who have come to say hello or congratulate him on the grand prize in advance.

“That’s okay. Besides, this is my job.”

Lee Wooyeon sat down on the sofa and unbuttoned his jacket. Inseop looked at the closed door and asked Lee Wooyeon.

“Isn’t that Kangwoo’s phone?”

Lee Wooyeon took out his cell phone from his pocket and checked it. It was also Kim Kangwoo’s cell phone.

“Oh yeah? I didn’t know.”

He knew very well.

“…I will tell Kangwoo.”

“Sure.”

It was a tone that didn’t care at all. Then he pointed to the seat across from him with his chin. Inseop let out a small sigh and sat down across from him.

Lee Wooyeon looked at Inseop with his chin resting on his hand. HE looked, and looked, and looked again.

“… Do you need anything?”

“No. I don’t.”

Even though it was a plain answer, strangely, he felt the intention that there would be something he needed later. It must be a bad idea. Perhaps because of Lee Wooyeon’s gaze, Inseop felt like his thoughts were twisted into a mess.

“The response was good today.”

Inseop struggled to bring up the topic of conversation.

“What response?”

“The red carpet response. You’re being considered as a potential best-dressed man.”

The moment Lee Wooyeon stepped on the red carpet, an article appeared in real time. It was truly an explosive reaction. Numerous comments overflowed with tears. In the past, Inseop didn’t know the meaning of “TT” and he thought it was booing, so he diligently posted a comment defending Lee Wooyeon under it. Now he knew that it was a sign of many tears.

“Would you like to see it?”

Inseop turned his cell phone screen to Lee Wooyeon and asked.

“Why are you watching that?”

Lee Wooyeon smiled while holding the bottled water on the table. It was his usual attitude.

“I’m sorry. Because of what you said earlier…”

Lee Wooyeon said that he wanted to look perfect today.

“I want to look perfect.”

Lee Wooyeon repeated what he had said. Then, suddenly, Lee Wooyeon lifted his head and began to stare at Inseop. An awkward silence followed again. Inseop lowered his gaze. The water bottle in Lee Wooyeon’s hand caught his eye. He was tapping the water jug lightly on the table. The water in the barrel was dripping.

An unknown thirst ran up Inseop’s neck.

“Today….”

The moment Lee Wooyeon was about to speak, the door to the waiting room burst open. Inseop reflexively jumped up from his seat and shouted.

“If you inadvertently enter… CEO?”

“Yes. If you come into the waiting room carelessly, you’re the CEO.”

CEO Kim sighed and closed the door. Then, he saw Lee Wooyeon sitting on the sofa and widened his eyes.

“You have Kang Woo’s phone! Why didn’t you answer the phone?”

“Did you call? I didn’t know.”

It was the expression and tone he showed when he took out Kim Kangwoo’s cell phone earlier. Lee Wooyeon said that he was good at lying, but there were times when he did not bother to hide that he was lying. At that time, there was no moment when he seemed to hate Lee Wooyeon.

“Why is this bastard lying?”

CEO Kim groaned.

“What lie? Why is the CEO making such accusations?”

When he was pointed out by the? man who would be second to none in Korea for choosing vulgar words, CEO Kim asked again with an expression as if he had swallowed cow dung forcibly.

“Do you know the meaning of the word?”

“I don’t know. I’m a foreigner.”

Lee Wooyeon shrugged.

“A foreigner…saying something like that…”

“Mr. Inseop”

Lee Wooyeon abruptly interrupted CEO Kim’s words.

“Yes?”

“I’m thirsty, could you bring me a drink?”

“Do you want a drink?”

Inseop did not understand at first. Water and drinks were prepared on the table.

“I want to drink canned coffee.”

“A canned coffee?”

Lee Wooyeon did not drink canned coffee. He used to say that the only canned coffee he had ever drank in his life was during commercials, and that it was all garbage.

“Yes. Canned coffee.”

“Okay.”

Inseop checked the change in his pocket, but there was nothing.

“Here.”

CEO Kim took out several thousand won bills from his wallet and handed them over.

“Thank you. Shall I bring you some coffee, sir?”

“…”

CEO Kim gave Inseop a sad look.

“If you don’t like it, I’ll pick you another one.”

“No. It’s fine.”

Inseop took the money and put it in his pocket, then looked back at Lee Wooyeon and asked,

“Do you have a favorite brand?”

He didn’t know about Lee Wooyeon’s favorite brand of canned coffee, so he needed to update the information.

Lee Wooyeon, who received Inseop’s question, made a strange expression.

“Sorry. If you let me know this time, I’ll remember right away from next time.”

Lee Wooyeon murmured to himself with a sigh.

“No matter how much I do, my conscience pricks me…”

CEO Kim, who heard that from the side, grumbled, saying, “You are talking about conscience,” and then found Inseop looking at the two with anxious eyes alternately, and took out his wallet.

“Come take this.”

This time he took out a ten thousand won bill.

“Can I get you another one?”

“No. Your pocket money… no.”

CEO Kim took out three or four more 50,000 won bills and put them in Inseop’s hand.

“Buy something delicious and eat it.”

“No. It’s okay. CEO. I have money.”

“I ‘m just giving it out of the goodness of my heart. If an adult gives it to you, you should accept it without hesitation.”

“But….”

As Inseop stood hesitantly holding a 50,000 won bill, Lee Wooyeon said take it.

Take it, and he smiled lightly. It was the best way to convince Inseop, who was particularly weak in terms of manners and customs.

“All right. Thank you very much.”

Inseop folded the money he received from CEO Kim and put it in his pocket.

“It should be there if you go down to the first basement floor of the vending machine.”

“Yes. I understand.”

Inseop nodded and left the waiting room. As he descended the stairs, Inseop tilted his head for a moment at the thought that passed through his head.

Why did the CEO come all the way here? He said that he was going to the province for an important business today…

The thought did not last long. A bell started ringing in his pocket. Inseop checked his caller and quickly answered the phone.

“hello.”

<This is Hope Real Estate. Can we talk? >

It was the call he was waiting for.

“Yes, we can.”

Inseop answered in a bright voice.

<I’ve been talking to the landlord. But I was wondering if he could meet you today.>

“Yes? Today? Didn’t you say he was coming home today?”

<Yes. He returned to Korea today, but his daughter’s house is on Jeju Island, so he’s going there tomorrow morning. Tsk tsk.>

The real estate owner also clicked his tongue as if he was dumbfounded.

<So, can you see him for a while later this afternoon? It should take only an hour.>

“Sorry. I don’t think I’ll be able to do it today because I have something important to do.”

<Then less than 30 minutes? He’s only going to see you for a while. He’s not picky, but he’s a unique gentleman, so he only approves the contract after seeing his face.>

“…Today seems impossible.”

Of all the many days, is it today? It’s a pity, but it seemed like he’d have to find another house. It is doubtful whether a house with such conditions in such a location at that price will ever come out.

<Ah, then it won’t work.>

“I’m sorry that you paid a lot of attention. Please contact me when another sale comes out.”

<Yes. student. Don’t expect too much. >

“Thank you.”

Inseop politely bowed and ended the call. As the heightened expectations collapsed, his steps became heavy.

Then he’ll have to stay at a motel for a while.

Inseop’s big eyes were filled with melancholy. Yesterday too, he couldn’t sleep properly because he heard strange noises all night from the room he didn’t know whether it was above, below, or next to it.

“You can do it.”

What a great thing this was

Inseop rallied his energy and went down the stairs. He found a vending machine in the corner of the hallway and ran to it.

“Coffee, coffee…”

He put the money in and looked for a can of coffee with his eyes. There were only six types of canned coffee. While he was contemplating what to choose, someone punched the machine button from behind with a fist.
