Chapter 48 – Preparation (3)

“Write slowly, because if you make a mistake, you have to write again.”

I couldn’t even make a sound and used the pen with trembling hands.

In the end, I chose a contract.

Ji-yeon Lee herself declared that she would not file her marriage certificate on her own, but who would believe that?

She would have been scared even before meeting the goddess, but it was dangerous to be tied to Lee Ji-yeon when Hyeon Hayeon and Baek Ga-eun could change.

When she told an angry Jiyeon Lee that she would write her contract, she didn’t seem to like it.

She told me to write down whatever she told me to do, so it was clear that she hadn’t given up yet as she grabbed a pen and paper and gathered the remaining marriage certificate.

She said, barely completing and handing over her form.

“···I wrote it all down.”

Ji-yeon Lee took her contract, looked it over, and said with a satisfied smile.

“I’ll fill it up for you, so just wait a moment.”

She got off the couch, sat down at her table, and started writing down without hesitation.

After a while, she went into the main room, saying she would bring something for her.

The moment I craned my neck to look at her content, Jiyeon Lee came back.
She was holding a strange stick in her hand.

Jiyeon Lee sat down in her seat, looked through her contract, and handed it to me.

“Read it and tell me if there’s anything you don’t like.”

She took the contract and glanced at Lee Ji-yeon.

She was looking at me while shaking the stick she was carrying.

I lowered my head again and slowly read the contents.

[One, Kim Cho-in asks Lee Ji-yeon three times a day…]

The content was confusing from the first item.

Even if the quota is not met, it continues to the next day.

It’s a story about sucking until you die.

I took a deep sigh and read the following.

[Two, Kim Cho-in used contraception during his relationship with Lee Ji-yeon…]

No.

This is not possible…

[Third, Kim Cho-in must grant Lee Ji-yeon three unconditional wishes every month.]

[Four, if Kim Cho-in breaks her contract, she will register her marriage with Lee Ji-yeon.]

[Five, this contract will be canceled if Kim Cho-in gets Lee Ji-yeon pregnant.]

This contract cannot be signed.

It was like handcuffs worse than marriage registration.

While I was trying to figure out how to get through this situation, I heard a strange sound.

‘Click! ‘Click!’

Lee Ji-yeon was touching and checking the stick she was carrying.

I was wondering something, but Jiyeon Lee pressed her stick against her own thumb.

‘Click!’

After a while, blood began to form on Jiyeon Lee’s fingers.

She took her contract, rubbed her fingers together and stamped it on her signature line.

I was dumbfounded by what happened so quickly.

After wiggling her fingers for a moment, she noticed the blood stains and returned her contract with a satisfied smile.

A bright red fingerprint was accurately recorded.

They said they would not listen to my objection.

···What do we do? Should I just write a marriage certificate?

No, I might really be imprisoned then.

Anyway, this is no different from a slave contract.

I’ve gotten through it well so far, but I can’t be hit like this…

‘Click!’

I was startled by the clicking sound and came out of my worries.

Jiyeon Lee said, extending her hand to me.

“I’ll do it for you, so give me your hand.”

···Should I hang from the window right now? Take out a knife? If I say I’m going to die, won’t they let me know?

“···Quickly”

No matter how hard I thought, I couldn’t think of a way to overcome this situation.

Her hand was shaking, and she slowly grabbed my mini and pulled it.

“Now, stay still…”

In the end, it was all a useless worry.

‘Click!’

*

From the day the unequal contract was signed, Lee Ji-yeon began to be squeezed.

She didn’t interfere with work.

However, after finishing work, she had to rush over and deal with Jiyeon Lee.

They didn’t let me go until the next day, so it felt like we were living together for the first time in a long time.

Even though I dealt with Jiyeon Lee all day, I was fine, but as I dealt with her every day, it became more and more difficult.

Today was the day of Hyun Ha-yeon’s photoshoot, and as I was sitting in a dazed state since morning, Hyeon Ha-yeon came up to me and spoke to me with concern.

“Oppa, are you okay?”

“···Huh? Oh, it’s okay.”

After hearing my answer, she stood up and started squeezing her shoulder.

It was quite refreshing thanks to the strength control that didn’t hurt or make me feel weak.

While feeling her touch for a moment, a staff member approached and called Hyeon Ha-yeon.

“Hyeon Ha-yeon, you are starting filming.”

Hyeon Hayeon took her hand away and smiled brightly.

“Ah, oppa, I’ll be back!”

“···Okay”

She thought as she watched the staff enter the filming set.

···Isn’t Hyeon Ha-yeon a good person?

There hasn’t been any strange behavior since then.

Looking at Hyeon Hayeon’s bright appearance, I thought I might have been mistaken, but when I saw her left hand still wrapped around me, I realized that I was not mistaken.

Even though it was her first photo shoot, Hyeon Hayeon warmed up the filming set with her bright appearance without any sing of nervousness.

Contrary to her sharp impression, her bright and cheerful appearance was popular and was already creating a buzz.

‘There is a big rookie in CG entertainment’

‘A rookie raised directly by CEO Choi Kang, following in Lee Ji-yeon’s footsteps’

The fact that the CEO, who was not heavily involved in the production of new talent, personally selected the song inflated the rumors about Hyeon Ha-yeon.

CG Entertainment also took aim at this and, rather than pumping out articles about her, decided to do marketing while maintaining the concept of mystery until her debut.

The filming schedule continues until tomorrow, but tomorrow someone else will follow in my place.

Because Baek Ga-eun’s first audition overlapped, I decided to follow her tomorrow.

When she said she was going with Baek Ga-eun, Hyeon Ha-yeon seemed a little displeased with her, but she soon smiled brightly and told her to have a nice trip.

She was a photographer who I had seen several times when she was in charge of Shining Boys, and she seemed to really like Hyeon Hayeon and continued filming while praising her.

“Oh, it’s good…, It’s good! Lower your shoulders a little more!”

Hyeon Hayeon, who usually wears comfortable clothes, was dressed up in a sophisticated way, and her emotions were endless.

Rather than trying to maintain a sharp impression, the company decided to push for a brighter character that was different from her impression.
So, for this photo shoot, I wore a bright one-piece dress in a style I don’t usually wear and makeup that looked gentle.

I was checking the photos taken at the back of the filming set, and I felt good because they seemed to come out pretty well.

Her bright and pure image matched her debut title, ‘Pure Love’.

The filming continued amicably afterward, receiving favorable reviews from many staff members.

“Thank you for your hard work!”

Hyeon Ha-yeon smiled brightly and repeatedly bowed, and the film crew also returned her greetings with happy smiles.

The photographer quietly approached me and whispered softly.

“Team Leader Kim, are you coming tomorrow too?”

“… Someone else is scheduled to come tomorrow.”

The photographer said, taking something out of his arms.

“Did I give you a business card last time?”

“···If you give it to me, I will take care of it.”

He grinned and handed me a business card.

“That friend will be fine. Please call me first?”

I answered while putting in the business card I received.

“Yes, you can look forward to it.”

He approached me after hearing that I was in charge of Hyeon Ha-yeon.

During Shining Boys, I ended up saying that it was okay, but seeing as she personally handed me her business card and asked me to call her, I guess she really liked filming with Hyeon Ha-yeon.

On the way back home with Hyeon Hayeon, the other staff members left work and Hyeon Hayeon and I went home from work.

The low-pitched radio filled the quiet car.

Hyeon Hayeon, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was leaning back and looking out the window, looking a little tired.

When she paused at the signal, she spoke with a slight tremor.

“···Oppa, how was I?”

I glanced next to her and saw that she was still looking out her window.

“···It was perfect, the author even gave me a business card saying he liked it.”

Hyeon Hayeon turned her head to look at me and said.

“···How was your brother?”

The moment I turned my head, I made eye contact with Hyeon Ha-yeon.

Perhaps because she came without removing her makeup, the faint scent of cosmetics tickled her nose.

Hyeon Ha-yeon looked at me with trembling eyes and looked a little prettier than usual.

“···It was pretty.”

I felt embarrassed for some reason and avoided eye contact.

Just then the signal changed.

I followed the car in front and sped away.
