Last night, I suddenly received a message from Seohui.
It had been exactly a week since she last visited.
"Seoyeon."
"Yes."
"Director Jo Bang-u won't be stepping down."
"Really?"
Seohui let out a sigh of relief at Seoyeon's tone, which instantly shifted to informal speech.
Why does she get mad at me so easily, really.
Even with that thought, she was finally relieved that it was just a joke.
'Still, it's a relief she didn't think too deeply about it.'
Honestly, Seoyeon felt like she had brushed it off easily, but if it had been Seohui herself, she would have been quite offended.
After all, the other person had essentially ignored her.
Since she was still a minor, she would obviously fall for it if they did this.
It was an action that revealed such thoughts.
It was truly a blessing that it ended with her just being a little mad.
"I almost made a mistake to Director Jo Bang-u too, so it's fine."
"To Director Jo Bang-u?"
"Yeah."
Seoyeon said as she rolled around and lay down on the bed.
The conversation she had with Director Jo Bang-u yesterday.
Unlike her worries, Seoyeon felt that
Newlike then proposed additional investment to Director Jo Bang-u, but Director Jo Bang-u reportedly refused.
He said that the more investment there is, the more restrictions there are.
Of course, it was said that the Newlike Group would absolutely not do that, but...
'There is already a record of it once.'
Since Seoyeon was close with Seohui, she would just let it slide, but Director Jo Bang-u might have been quite offended.
So, it seemed he was filling the production costs through sponsorships and pondering a lot about the composition of the scenes.
Probably, once the discussion with the writer was over, they would start filming in earnest.
"That... I tried to ask before but couldn't."
"Yeah?"
"I saw the video you took with sunbae Jeong-u in France this time."
"Yeah."
"By any chance, sunbae Jeong-u didn't do anything weird to you, did he?"
"Weird thing?"
At Seohui's words, Seoyeon tilted her head.
Even if it was a weird thing, nothing in particular came to mind.
Seoyeon hadn't particularly felt that way...
'Come to think of it, he was treated a bit like a gorilla-like monster.'
Thinking up to there, Seoyeon nodded.
"Now that I think about it, it does seem a bit like that."
"Right?! I knew it! The way he looked at you when you walked in the hanbok was no joke! And yet he dared to lie to me?"
"?"
"Ah, sorry Seoyeon. I'll get going now. And you know you shouldn't easily trust sunbae Jeong-u, right?"
'How dare he...'
Seoyeon couldn't bring herself to answer Seohui's words any further and just nodded.
Very occasionally, words that popped out sounding like a chaebol heiress were typical of Jo Seohui.
For some reason, she had many weak sides to her, though.
'I feel like I've done something unfair to sunbae Jeong-u.'
She could roughly guess where Jo Seohui, who hung up and disappeared, had gone.
'Hmm.'
But there wasn't any particularly weird gaze.
It just seemed like he was a bit surprised.
"Unnie!"
While having such thoughts, Suyeon, who had run into the room with pitter-patter steps, dove right onto the bed where Seoyeon was lying.
Suyeon, who slipped under the covers, wiggled around, and poked her head out, smiled brightly.
"Was it Seohui unnie?"
"Yeah. She just contacted me."
"Of courshe~! Suyeon's commercial! Did you tell her about Suyeon's commercial?!"
At the mention of Suyeon's commercial, Seoyeon belatedly remembered what she was going to ask Seohui.
'Ah, right.'
I should have asked.
It seemed like Suyeon was really looking forward to the commercial she would shoot with Seoyeon.
"Does Suyeon want to become a celebrity?"
"Huh? No?"
"Then why the commercial?"
"They give you toys. And I just want to do it with you, unnie?"
In other words, Suyeon just wanted to do the same thing as her.
'So this is how little sisters are.'
Of course, Seoyeon didn't have a younger sibling in her past life, so she didn't know.
But she knew that younger siblings grow up imitating what their older sisters or brothers do.
Suyeon wasn't much different.
Actually, she didn't seem that interested in being a celebrity, but after seeing her unnie constantly appearing on TV, she seemed to have taken an interest.
'It tickles.'
Whenever Seoyeon saw Suyeon like that, she could feel her heart tickling for no reason.
A sensation she couldn't feel in her past life.
Pride, a swelling heart, emotions like that.
"Unnie will try to put in a good word for you."
"Yeah!"
Having said that, Suyeon soon fell asleep sniffling in Seoyeon's arms.
The whining of her still young little sister.
T1NrUTkreFYvQUZ1VEE0bGdJSWROejc2Q0ltVC9hUkRYRVNzUlpUL2Z2bjhuUm9KcElXRWcybzZ4ZmN5cXk5cg
Seoyeon watched that and smiled softly.
At times like this, she thought it was a blessing of a thousand times that she was born without the same disease as her past life.
Otherwise, she would have never known this kind of warmth forever.
***
The production company of Magical Girl Harara, Loop Entertainment, was letting out a sigh of disappointment.
That was because there was no response from Actor Ju Seoyeon, whom they had been constantly trying to cast for a commercial.
"It would be perfect if she appeared in the commercial with her younger sister."
"I guess we were too greedy."
She wondered if mentioning the sister had caused the rejection.
However, with the killer cuteness of Suyeon from
They even came to watch the play, let alone YouTube!
Since Harara is widely loved even by elementary school students, they thought she would definitely show interest!
"For this export to Japan, there's no better model than this."
She sighed.
There were largely two types of commercials.
Commercials using animation.
And commercials filmed mixing with models.
Among them, Seoyeon and Suyeon were scheduled to appear in the latter.
Since Seoyeon had recognition in Japan too, it seemed perfect to use her as the face.
'Her image is similar to Zero-ro too.'
A magical girl with a black cat-like image.
It was an image that perfectly suited Seoyeon right now.
Moreover, Seoyeon was still a high school student.
Being in her teens, she was also suitable for toy commercials.
They could confidently declare that finding a model better than this was impossible.
"Is there no contact from the Newlike Group?"
"Well..."
The Newlike's investment was included in this export of Harara to Japan.
So they requested casting the model through them, but there was hardly any news.
Did it fail after all? Just when she was thinking that.
"Hello, I'm Ju Suyeon!"
A girl bowing with her hands clasped together.
And the girl's older sister, who quietly greeted beside her.
The moment she saw them, Sim Jin-su, the team leader of the character business division of Magical Girl Harara, felt like her eyes were going to pop out.
No way, this actually worked.
'I thought it wouldn't work.'
The meeting was scheduled this morning.
It was a bit sudden, but he rushed out in a flurry.
Because he had to check whether the words he heard in the morning were just sleep-talking nonsense or the truth.
'Wow.'
Sim Jin-su couldn't close his mouth looking at the girl sitting neatly in front of him.
'Didn't she recently have a banquet with the British princess in France?'
The Viol Show held in France this time.
Even though he had no interest in luxury goods, he couldn't help but be interested in what happened this time.
A Korean actress entering the show arm-in-arm with the British princess, Marie Mountbatten Windsor.
With dozens of articles posted with such nuances, it would be stranger not to know.
Plus the heartwarming news that she had a banquet with high school students.
In the video, Seoyeon, dressed beautifully in a hanbok and standing face-to-face with the princess, was surprisingly graceful.
It was different from 'Zero-ro' that they requested, but it made him think, 'This is good too.'
The image of Seoyeon he knew was relatively fierce.
A girl with cold eyes.
But the appearance of Seoyeon reflected in the video was a woman as warm as a spring breeze.
Sunset-colored eyes and a soft, brightly blooming smile.
Her skin, as bright as the moon, brought in a large number of new fans to Seoyeon's fan cafe.
For reference, Sim Jin-su was also one of the fans who joined Seoyeon's fan cafe at that time.
- Why is Ju Seoyeon pretending to be pretty? Honestly, I thought she'd come out swinging/wrecking everything, so I'm disappointed tsk tsk
- Facts ㅋㅋㅋ If she got stung once by the British princess incident, she probably wouldn't have dared to act so arrogantly
- How did the pickpocket even survive in the first place
- Is this Actor Ju Seoyeon's anti-cafe? There are too many weird posts;;;
- ㅠㅠ I came because this is Actor Ju Seoyeon's only community, but it seems too strange
- Factual factual, who would win if Actor Ju Seoyeon fought a monster that's a mix of a gorilla and an elephant.
- ???
- No, seriously, fans like this actually appeared?
- Honestly, if you watch this Viol Show, you'd understand
- The reincarnation of Princess Yeonhwa immediately normalized her image
- This is absurd...
Anyway, although there were some controversies like that, the new fanbase and the existing fanbase were blending well and rolling along.
Seoyeon's image was maintaining its cleanest state since she started acting.
Anyway, if one were to name the closest to a global star among young actors right now, Seoyeon would be the first.
For Loop Entertainment, who was aiming for the overseas market right now, she was a commercial model they absolutely had to catch.
"Really, is your younger sister also appearing with you?"
"Yes!"
Suyeon raised her hand brightly and said.
Seeing that, Seoyeon nodded softly.
"At first, you said you wanted me, my sister, and even my mother to appear in the commercial together..."
"Ah, yes yes yes! Right! The chemistry I saw in
"My mother refused, but is that okay?"
Seoyeon had subtly tempted Su-a.
Saying that if she appeared in the commercial this time, she could earn a lot of allowance, and buy whatever she wanted to her heart's content.
Moreover, Suyeon clung closely to her mom's side and said.
"Mom~! Let's appear on TV together with Suyeon! I bragged to my friends!"
Even at her younger sister's desperate whining, Su-a just squeezed her eyes shut and said.
"Ah, auntie doesn't do things like appearing on TV."
"...?"
For the first time, Seoyeon was confused whether her mom's words were sincere or a lie right now.
Could she be saying that sincerely?
"Can I tell that to Ji-yeon's auntie?"
"W-why! Why are you tormenting mom. J-Ji-yeon's mother would sympathize too, right?"
"That... it's nothing."
Seoyeon couldn't dare convey this to Ji-yeon's mother.
Lee Ji-yeon's mother, who receives skin care at the dermatologist every week, exercises diligently including yoga, and works hard on self-care.
And if Park Jeong-u's mother heard this, she would shed tears of blood.
Of course, Park Jeong-u's mother's side had an appearance that required a massive amount of capital(?), so the difference with Su-a wasn't to that extent.
But honestly, comparing her with Su-a, a former-generation otaku who resumed her long-stalled fangirl life after her daughter grew up, was an unfair thing.
Because her only self-care was a leisurely lifestyle.
'She seems to be working hard at yoga lately, though.'
It seemed she was dragged by Ji-yeon's mother and was attending a yoga class together with Park Jeong-u's mother.
Seeing her mother groaning and struggling for a while, Seoyeon newly felt the importance of exercise.
Anyway, Su-a's words would make Ji-yeon's mother shed tears of blood if she heard them.
Rather, she would say she wanted to appear in this commercial herself.
'I'll have to slowly tempt her later.'
Unexpectedly, there were quite a few cases where mothers and daughters appeared together in toy commercials like this, so it wasn't strange.
For now, they had decided on the direction of having the sisters, Seoyeon and Suyeon, appear this time.
"First of all, the filming won't be too difficult. Suyeon... this is your first time appearing on broadcast since
"Yes!"
"Suyeon, who do you like the most in Harara?"
"Zero-ro!"
"Ah, really? Usually people like Harara the most."
At those words, Suyeon smiled radiantly and said.
"Because Zero-ro looks the most like unnie."
"Ah~."
"I want to be like unnie!"
At those words, Seoyeon felt the corners of her mouth trembling for no reason.
Lately she enjoyed teasing her unnie a bit, but she was still a cute little sister.
"Do you want to resemble her because unnie is pretty?"
"Because if I look like unnie, the boys at school won't be able to move."
"Suyeon."
"Eh~. Unnie, it's a joke!"
Is it really a joke?
She looked at Suyeon with suspicious eyes, but Suyeon just smiled radiantly.
Separately, just looking at Suyeon's stamina and physical abilities, the boys at school wouldn't dare to pick a fight with her.
'Although not as much as me when I was young...'
Is it really her influence?
Sometimes she had such thoughts, but it wasn't as irrational as herself, so she just thought she was a bit healthy.
"First of all, there are four types of commercials."
"Four types?"
"Yes, animation commercials. You don't need to worry about this side. You'll be appearing in TV commercials and offline commercials."
"...And the last?"
"We're thinking of making it like a music video. You did it once, right? A play. We'll make that into a music video like a musical..."
"..."
At those words, Seoyeon hardened like a stone.
What, wasn't it just taking some photos, filming the commercial with Suyeon, and ending it?
'MV? Don't tell me, a music video?'
Seoyeon's pupils trembled violently.
Because she wondered if she had to wear a Harara costume and appear in an MV.
