With Lee Sang-soo's appearance in
Seo-yeon found that quite fascinating.
Actors that even Director Baek Min or investors couldn't easily obtain would slowly gather together when Jo Seo-hee made a move.
When she mentioned this to Ji-yeon while going to school.
"That's because rumors about her are widespread."
The fact that Jo Seo-hee was the young lady of NewLike Group, ranked 3rd in the business world.
Of course, she herself had never explicitly revealed it even once.
"Rather, the only one who mentioned that is you."
The previous Hara-ra performance.
At that time, Jo Seo-hee had virtually slipped such words to Seo-yeon.
Because she had said it was a theme park operated by her own family.
"Well, putting that aside, Jo Seo-hee is an actress who receives affection from senior actors in many ways."
At Lee Ji-yeon's words, Seo-yeon was honestly amazed.
Her appearance is definitely pretty.
Pretty, but how should I put it—if she held a fan, she'd be a villainess, and if you ran into her at night, she'd be the spitting image of Tomie.
A strangely intimidating impression.
Yet an actress who is favored suspiciously much.
"Right away, compared to the investors, Jo Seo-hee's family, NewLike Group, has a much larger scale."
The investors attached to
It was said that 'BestOne,' a platform that had recently jumped into the cultural industry and managed various music sources, movies, and animations, had invested.
"But if their daughter is appearing, why didn't NewLike Group invest?"
"Jo Seo-hee probably told them not to. She's not the type to like reaching out to her family for help."
"Is that so?"
"Joo Seo-yeon, if you were in a similar position, you wouldn't have done it either."
No, I probably would have.
Seo-yeon, who was about to answer like that, coolly nodded her head.
She didn't want to answer pretending to look cool for no reason.
'But, those two have really gotten close.'
Seo-yeon narrowed her eyes and looked at Lee Ji-yeon.
Recently, it seemed Ji-yeon was no longer receiving separate acting lessons from Jo Seo-hee.
She had already learned a lot, and it seemed she felt sorry for continuously borrowing her time.
However, she knew they definitely met once or twice a week.
Going shopping together, buying clothes.
Perhaps because they both had similar impressions, their clothing tastes were similar as well.
She said that when they go together, there are no annoying men approaching them.
'While not going shopping or anything with me.'
Seo-yeon felt unnecessarily petty.
"……By the way, it seems you two go shopping often these days."
So she asked casually as if it was nothing.
Recently, Seo-yeon's friends were only internet friends.
Still, it was fortunate that the number of classmates who talked to her had increased.
Though she wondered if this was right with nearly a year already coming to an end.
"Huh? Joo Seo-yeon, do you want to go too?"
"If I go, I'll go."
"You don't really like shopping in the first place. You just pick clothes roughly."
At Ji-yeon's words, Seo-yeon had nothing to say.
Well, Seo-yeon didn't often buy her own clothes directly.
It wasn't that she disliked wearing women's clothes due to the influence of her past life, or anything like that.
Seo-yeon actually liked wearing pretty or cute clothes that suited her appearance.
Skirts were surprisingly great for mobility.
There was no worry of the crotch tearing when kicking.
Anyway, that wasn't particularly important.
Clearly, Seo-yeon was not the type to enjoy shopping.
Just roughly pick this and that, hmm, not bad.
I really am pretty, she'd satisfy herself with that and be done.
But when Ji-yeon went shopping once, it was for hours.
On top of that, looking at cosmetics, and looking at strange things.
Anyway, there was a lot to look at.
Was this how girls normally were?
'But usually in these cases, wouldn't people around you not be able to stand it and drag you along to buy you clothes?'
Seo-yeon seriously thought so.
At least in the novels and comics Seo-yeon had read, when there was someone indifferent to shopping like herself.
People around would say 'What a waste with those looks!' and drag them along, ignoring their resistance, and buy them clothes in most cases.
Even so, when she casually brought up shopping recently.
"I can't drag my daughter along when she doesn't like it."
Su-a answered sensibly like that.
"Isn't clothes just like an outer shell to you?"
Young-bin, who had looked troubled for a while, answered like that as his mood improved again.
It seemed things at the company had been resolved well.
Anyway, with that answer that felt like 'As if you ever had a concept of clothes?', Seo-yeon confiscated Young-bin's computer again.
'Did she suddenly get interested in shopping?'
Ji-yeon wasn't the type to drag along someone who didn't want to go either.
However, when Seo-yeon said it like this, there was no reason to refuse.
Above all, there was something Jo Seo-hee had asked Ji-yeon during that time.
So, roughly a week ago.
When Seo-yeon was busy preparing for actor Lee Sang-soo's audition.
"She seems to keep Alice and me separate from her."
During their last shopping trip, Jo Seo-hee said that with a serious face.
"Joo Seo-yeon cares a lot about things like that."
"I-is that normal?"
"They say it's usually like that?"
Was it the red pill or the blue pill?
Actually, even though Ji-yeon was doing virtual YouTuber work, she didn't know all those terms.
She just naturally came to know them from what came up in the chat.
"She kept saying to open that Super Chat thing. Why would someone want to spend money on a place like that?"
"……If you say that in front of Joo Seo-yeon, she'll get mad."
"I-is that so?"
Why would someone get mad when you're worrying about them spending money?
Jo Seo-hee absolutely couldn't understand it.
If she had something she wanted to say, couldn't she just call her directly?
Honestly, she wanted to talk about what happened during Alice's broadcast with Seo-yeon.
Because when broadcasting as Alice, Seo-yeon was so incredibly warm!
She wanted to feel that warmth in reality too!!
- Alice is so cute.
- Her laugh is so good ㅠㅠㅠㅠ So cute ㅠㅠㅠ
- Wow, is it really your first time playing games???? No... unbelievable...
The last chat had a somewhat strange feeling, but mostly Seo-yeon was like that.
At first, she really doubted if it was Seo-yeon, but Lee Ji-yeon told her it was definite.
"All her IDs and passwords are the same."
"……Isn't that dangerous?"
"She says it's a hassle."
It was a strangely boyish way of thinking.
Anyway, since Lee Ji-yeon told her absolutely not to reveal that Alice was herself, Jo Seo-hee was groaning inwardly.
Did a person who learned the king's ears are donkey ears feel like this?
Before sleeping, she wanted to bury her face in her pillow and scream that she was Alice.
Of course, if she did that, her family would immediately drag her to the hospital.
Her father, who happened to see her broadcasting, said.
"Come to think of it, it seems GH Group recently took an interest in that."
"GH Group?"
"It seems there's an executive there who's very interested in that area."
Certainly, Jo Seo-hee also thought broadcasting wasn't bad to make it a hobby.
But whether this was a proper business to invest in? Honestly, she didn't really know.
It had potential, but... wasn't it somewhat in the shadows?
Well, it wasn't like it was anything strange or anything.
"Anyway, Seo-yeon only doesn't talk to me."
"That's true. Isn't she just comfortable using formal speech with you?"
"I-I don't like that!"
Jo Seo-hee shook her head vigorously.
At her action, Lee Ji-yeon narrowed her eyes slightly.
She sometimes thought this, but Jo Seo-hee, with a face that could be a regular ghost in horror movies, strangely had aspects like a small animal in her behavior.
Well, she mostly seemed to act like that only with people she was close to.
She thought she could understand why senior actors liked Jo Seo-hee.
"But Joo Seo-yeon seems to consider you a friend in her own way."
"……Does she?"
"She just uses formal speech because of the past, probably."
"……"
Joo Seo-yeon, who was still dragging up something from 10 years ago, was honestly quite petty when you think about it.
'Well, honestly I don't think much about it, she's probably just comfortable using formal speech with Jo Seo-hee.'
Even Lee Ji-yeon didn't know that standard well.
It wasn't like she set a strict standard or anything, as she mostly just acted according to her mood.
"Um, then I'll casually bring it up next time."
Anyway, Ji-yeon had received a lot from Jo Seo-hee.
It wasn't just that she received help learning acting.
Jo Seo-hee was, for better or worse, a rich family's daughter.
She also earned money as an actress, but basically, money wasn't particularly important to her.
So when something looked interesting, she would buy this and that, and she often gave Ji-yeon the things she bought but didn't use.
Since she wouldn't use them anyway, she'd give them to someone who would.
But most of these were quite expensive...
"Joo Seo-yeon."
Anyway, Lee Ji-yeon, who had recalled that time, decided to put in a little effort.
It was clear that Seo-yeon also had some interest in Jo Seo-hee.
Above all, wouldn't they have to film
So, getting closer wouldn't be a bad thing.
She would probably continue to know Jo Seo-hee for a long time.
Perhaps, for a lifetime.
"Do you want to come with us when we go shopping with Jo Seo-hee next time?"
"……Ah, yeah."
At Ji-yeon's words, Seo-yeon sheepishly nodded her head.
She felt like a child who had thrown a tantrum saying she wanted to go too.
***
Anyway, though she had made that shopping appointment, separately, Seo-yeon wondered inwardly if it would be okay.
That was because.
"Y-you're Joo Seo-yeon, right? I'm really enjoying
"Hey, that's Joo Seo-yeon."
"Really? Wow, her face is really small!"
Now if she really didn't hide her face, people would gather in droves all at once.
Well, she could understand.
[Heaven's Garden, its viewership truly reaches the sky! Episode 18 viewership 30%!!]
[The winner of the household battle is, Heaven's Garden. Grand Game Episode 18 viewership 11%]
Just looking at internet articles, there were countless such articles.
The currently aired content of
With only 2 episodes left until the finale.
"Lee Yoo-ju's acting is so good."
"I cried after watching episode 18."
Sometimes while walking, her arm would just suddenly be grabbed.
So this is why celebrities use bodyguards, Seo-yeon thought momentarily.
Of course, since Seo-yeon herself was stronger than a bodyguard, she didn't particularly plan to use one.
She noticed them approaching, but she just didn't expect them to grab her.
Currently,
Of course, there were many who criticized it as a makjang drama, saying the development itself was too stimulating.
Lee Min-seo, who was on edge after seeing Lee Yoo-ju return alive from the cliff, eventually attempts suicide.
Lee Yoo-ju prevents that in advance.
And Lee Yoo-ju also cancels her decision to help Lee Min-hyuk.
Her original purpose.
She comes to reflect on herself, who had tried to trample them and rise above.
Of course, those around her don't leave Lee Yoo-ju alone like that.
Thus, episode by episode.
With developments rushing like a raging storm, the viewership rose steeply.
It achieved a record of surpassing 30%.
A figure 8% higher than
Honestly, even Seo-yeon couldn't feel it was real.
In the past, since she was a child actress, she didn't know what it meant to appear in a drama with high viewership.
But now, she couldn't help but know.
Because wherever she went, people flocked to Seo-yeon.
'I should learn more disguise techniques.'
She newly understood why Park Jung-woo nagged about it all the time.
With this, it felt like it would be difficult to meet for a while.
Still, it was fortunate they had met in advance.
She had also gotten a definite answer that he would appear in
'As long as Jung-woo sunbae appears, most of the problems are solved.'
However, she would have to compete against and defeat the actress appearing in it at the audition.
How ridiculous would it be if she recommended it and then couldn't appear herself.
But Seo-yeon thought it would be fine.
Because she knew that the actress who appeared in
"Seo-yeon, I'm enjoying the drama."
"What brings you to KMB today?"
When she visited the KMB broadcasting station for business, everyone spoke to Seo-yeon.
Seo-yeon came to the broadcasting station today, of course, because of matters related to
A Japanese broadcasting station had seen
She merely wondered if it was roughly because of the drama, or if they were interested in the actress Seo-yeon herself.
If there was a chance to go to Japan, Seo-yeon was inwardly looking forward to it.
'I should buy merchandise.'
In her past life, she couldn't go to Japan, nor did she have any reason to go.
Because her family didn't allow her to go overseas.
So, if there was an opportunity this time, she definitely had to go.
She was thinking like that, but she didn't expect such an opportunity to come like this.
Thinking such thoughts, she bowed repeatedly in greeting while walking through the broadcasting station.
"……Hm?"
Her eyes met with a quite tall woman.
A rather familiar impression.
The moment she saw Seo-yeon, her eyes sharpened.
Only then did she seem to realize who she was.
Go Mi-eun, the female lead of
In other words, she was the very person who had been completely crushed by Seo-yeon this time.
