Chapter 24 This Time I Won! [Please Read On]
SM Entertainment, Director's Office.
Lee Soo-man listened to his secretary's report with a frown, feeling a surge of irritation.
"You mean Bae Joo-hyun was assigned to support IU's new group in a music video shoot?"
The secretary nodded nervously. "Yes, it was reported by Ryderbebe's agent."
"Bang"
"This is outrageous! Our SM artists are playing supporting roles for rival companies. If word got out, our competitors would laugh us to death."
Lee Soo-man was so angry that his face turned red, and he almost choked. He quickly took out some nitroglycerin pills from the drawer and swallowed them. It took him a while to recover.
He had already guessed who was behind it all: either his "filial" nephew or that idiot Kim Kwang-soo. Those two must have gotten some inside information and were trying to curry favor with him.
Lee Soo-man pondered for a moment, then tapped his fingertips lightly on the table and said, "I'll handle this. You may leave."
"Inside."
After the secretary left, Lee Soo-man picked up his phone and made a call.
"What is it!"
A woman's voice came from the phone, her tone cold and condescending.
Lee Soo-man didn't seem to find anything amiss, as if he was already used to the other party's attitude. He stood up and respectfully said, "President-nim, I have something I'd like to ask for your help with."
He repeated what his secretary had said and waited quietly for her reply.
"You said the other person's name is Lin Yuan?"
"Yes, President."
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. "Heh, your opponent isn't stupid either. I understand. I'll get back to you later." Then he hung up.
Hearing the relaxed tone of the other party, Lee Soo-man knew that the matter was settled. That person was none other than Lee Boo-jin, the head of South Korea's top chaebol, the owner of the Shilla Hotel, and the eldest princess of the Samsung Group.
......
In Loen Entertainment's studio, Lin Yuan was surrounded by Lee Ji-eun and Bae Joo-hyun, looking quite embarrassed.
"Lin Yuan, what did you promise me? You said you'd cancel the kissing scene, why are you changing your mind now?"
Lee Ji-eun looked up angrily at Lin Yuan. She knew this guy was up to no good. He insisted on having Bae Joo-hyun come to film a music video. He was definitely trying to take advantage of the situation. What a scoundrel!
Bae Joo-hyun couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Lin Yuan behind her, shielding him. "Senior, you're being too kind. Filming is never static. You're a veteran actor; don't you understand this?"
"Hiss~"
Upon hearing this, everyone around gasped. Lin Yuan quietly took two steps back and looked pleadingly at his manager, Bae Yong-joon.
Bae Yong-joon spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless to help.
Just kidding. On one side is Lee Ji-eun, whom he raised like a daughter, and on the other side is an idol from a rival company. Even a fool would know which to choose. If it weren't for Lin Yuan being caught in the middle, he would have kicked Bae Joo-hyun out long ago.
Lee Ji-eun's face instantly darkened.
She hadn't been offended like this in a long time. "Is this how SM teaches you to talk back to your seniors? You rude guy."
Bae Joo-hyun smiled and replied, "I don't think there's anything wrong with what I did. I always follow instructions and never interfere. You agree, senior, don't you?"
Hilarious! You think you can fight me with this little bit of fighting power? Don't you know SM is notorious for its controversial and controversial nature? Practice makes perfect.
"Damn it, you..."
Seeing that Lee Ji-eun was about to slap him, Lin Yuan had no choice but to step in and grab her wrist just as the slap was about to land. "I'm sorry, Noona, I apologize on Ji-eun's behalf." He then pulled Lee Ji-eun to a corner.
"Lee Ji-eun, are you crazy? This is a film set! Aren't you going too far?!"
Lin Yuan roared in a low voice.
Lee Ji-eun felt extremely wronged after being yelled at like that. "Lin Yuan, I'm your friend. Shouldn't you be on my side? Why are you helping her? Do you like her?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever like her?"
Lin Yuan found it baffling. It's fine if you two argue, even if it gets leaked. It's normal for the discussion of lines to be heated on set.
But it would be wrong for Lee Ji-eun to take action. She would say all sorts of hurtful things, like "senior bullying junior" or "IU acting like a diva on set." Could the young girl really handle that?
"I don't care, I won't allow you to film kissing scenes."
Why?
"Because...because...anyway, you're not allowed to take pictures, or I'll never talk to you again for the rest of my life." She started crying again as she spoke.
Lin Yuan rubbed his forehead, feeling utterly exhausted. How could he keep crying at the drop of a hat?
He reached out and wiped away Lee Ji-eun's tears, saying gently, "But filming starts in a little while. What are the directors and the others supposed to do? There's not enough time."
Lee Ji-eun pouted. Now that things were settled, she had no choice but to strike first.
She jumped up on the spot, wrapped her arms around Lin Yuan's neck, straddled his waist with her legs, and leaned down to kiss him.
"Hmm~"
Caught off guard, Lin Yuan opened his mouth, his defenses breached. "Damn it, it's already like this, let's kiss first."
Gradually, he closed his eyes, supporting Lee Ji-eun to prevent her from falling, and slowly began to respond.
After a long while, Lee Ji-eun, blushing, buried her face in his neck and whispered, "I won this time."
"Yes, you won!"
.....
"Lin Yuan, where are you putting your hands? Are you covering your face?"
The director was so angry that he yelled and almost cursed.
They filmed a kissing scene more than 10 times. This guy acted like an idiot, touching her indiscriminately while they were kissing. Isn't that just being a pervert?
Bae Joo-hyun lowered her head, her face flushed, and dared not look at him. She subconsciously licked her lips.
Lin Yuan scratched his head awkwardly, "Director, I'm sorry, let's do it one last time. I promise I'll control myself this time."
What could the director say? They had powerful connections, so he had to put up with it. Besides, Lin Yuan had already apologized, which was quite a show of respect.
Lee Ji-eun sat to one side with a resentful look on her face, clenching her teeth. "You scoundrel, you can't resist pretty girls, all you do is take advantage of them."
Hwang Ye-ji also felt a surge of heat watching, unconsciously swallowing hard, thinking to herself, "I... I hope my filming with my unnie won't be this intense too, how embarrassing!"
"The final show, Adele!"
Staff members stood by, holding water hoses and simulating a rain scene from above.
In the scene, Bae Joo-hyun, wearing a white dress, looks longingly at Lin Yuan in front of her and reaches out to stroke his face.
Lin Yuan gently cupped her face in his hands, his eyes filled with undisguised love that crashed straight into her heart.
As the camera slowly zoomed in, Lin Yuan lowered his head and kissed her.
"Hmm~"
As "I NEED YOU" played, Bae Joo-hyun stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around Lim Won's waist, and cherry blossoms fell from the sky.
Creak! Creak!
Lee Ji-eun was furious. Her man kissing another woman in front of her was no different from publicly cheating on her.
Hwang Ye-ji shyly covered her face, secretly observing and learning through her fingers, glancing at Lee Ji-eun beside her from time to time, seemingly lost in thought.
"Click! Passed!"
