Chapter 91 – Date With Sua

“Mr. Look tired.”
“Ah.”

In the morning, Hwang Soo-ah’s waiting room.
I thought I was perfectly fine, but looking at it from the side, it doesn’t seem like it.

“Sorry. I lost some sleep last night.”

I went back late yesterday, and I was so excited that I worked so hard until dawn.
And I had to leave early in the morning, so I couldn’t sleep less than 3 hours.

I’m still fine, but mom looks very tired.
I’m worried if today’s shoot will be okay.

“I did something strange yesterday… Sorry.”

Huh? Yesterday? Weird thing?
Ah. Come to think of it, did Sua kiss me when we parted yesterday?
The time she spent with her mother after that was so intense that she completely forgot about it.

Mr. Sua quickly increased his words as if to hide her embarrassment.

“It doesn’t have that deep meaning, so don’t take it too seriously. They say kissing is just a greeting among young people these days. In fact, isn’t that the level of personnel between Mr. Seonhu and me? It’s also a sign of gratitude for the manager’s work. I had a hard time yesterday.”

Do you think the reason I can’t sleep is because of Sua’s kiss?
I’m not even a puberty kid, so I can’t sleep with a fresh kiss like that…
… Looking at it now, it looked like Sua had trouble sleeping too.

“Then can I say hello one more time?”

Sua is so cute that I teased her once.

“… Great. It’s a greeting.”

Sua put her hands together and closed her eyes.
Uh? Can you really do it?
Mmm. What. I’m stabbed by my conscience.
But taking it out now is not polite to a woman who has the courage.

Side.

A cute kiss like Sua did yesterday.
It is on a different level from the tongue-melting kiss she had with her mother.
However, it was enough to dye Sua’s face red.
… If you’re so shy, even I’m embarrassed.

After a moment of silence, Sua opened her mouth.

“Seonhoo, are you dating someone?”

A fresh conversation like a middle school student.
It’s like going back to my childhood for some reason.
I don’t want to go back

“I don’t date anyone, but there are people I like. I’m trying to date you right now.”
“Yes…”

Why are you making such an expectant expression?
I’m not talking about you.

Mmm. I want to continue to be good friends with Sua…
Am I messing around with an innocent girl?

But Sua is older than me. It’s also 6 years old.
She has over 20 years of experience in the entertainment industry.
She has her face, her skills, and her money.
It doesn’t make sense that you don’t have experience with men.

But what is this naive reaction?

Mmm. Worried.
Wouldn’t it be fooled by a bad guy and passed away?
In that case, I’d rather be me.

No no. What are you talking about?
If you can’t take responsibility, don’t even touch it.
…
But are you curious?

“Sua, are you dating someone?”
“Do you see it?”
“It’s a bit odd if you don’t. Why is there no one like Sua? There’s no way men would leave it alone.”

Sua said with a small smile.

“Since I debuted when I was very young, her parents kept taking care of me. Her mother is the president of an entertainment company and her father is the manager. Even as an adult, I was still under the care of my parents, so I never had a chance to date a man.”
“Ah.”
“And since I was young, kissing scenes and skinship were forbidden, so yesterday’s first kiss was with Seonhu.”
“… That’s right.”

Sua lowered her head as if a little embarrassed.

Ugh Guilt is no joke.
For me to steal the first kiss you saved so much.
No Didn’t I steal it?
Sua did it on her own.
What I just did wasn’t my first kiss, so it’s invalid…
Invalid right?

“Even if it was like that when I was a child, I should have solved it when I was an adult. Don’t you have to deliberately solve it? I left it because I wanted to, but it stayed the same…”
“Ah… Yes.”
“Don’t be too mean. I don’t even care that much.”

Su-ah rubs her face with her hands.
His face was already red.
No matter how you look at it, you seem to care a lot.

“Then let’s go, Mr. Seonhu. To the set.”

There is still time left.
Sua quickly got up from her seat as if to hide her embarrassment.

Should I say too?
I don’t think so.
No matter how you look at it, Sua seems to think so.
What if I hear something like, ‘If you’re going to do that, why did you treat me well’?

… Well, I don’t know if that’s really going to happen.
I have more things to worry about right now, so I’ll put it off.

I got up from my seat along with Sua.

When I go to the set, I plan to apologize to actor Joo Jung-hwan, whom I fought with yesterday.
Because of his personality, he would rather be apologized in front of people than apologize in a 1:1 waiting room.
If there are people watching, there will be less strange noises.

I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong, but when I think about what I’ll continue to encounter in the future, I think it’s right for me to lower my head and solve it.
If you can’t solve it with words, you won’t be able to help it even if you get hit a few times.
I also grabbed the collar first.
I had to bend over in order not to harm my mother or Sua.

I came to the set with that thought in mind.

“Eh, some people have already been contacted, but I don’t think we will be able to shoot today because actor Joo Jung-hwan has not been able to contact us. First of all, we will film only the parts that do not feature actor Joo Jung-hwan, but those who do not have the parts to be filmed can leave.”

Oh my god.
Are you punk?

“What the hell is that man up to? Is the drama a joke?”

Mom gets annoyed as if to listen to other people.
He must have been genuinely angry, and he might be doing it on purpose to take my side.

But it’s punk.
Could this be because of me?

“Not at all, so don’t worry about it. It was like that even before Mr. Seonhu came. In the first place, it should be seen that Jung-Hwan went out of his mind and started a fight with Sun-Hoo.”

Is it like that? It’s a bit embarrassing though.

“Senior Sua.”
“Ah. Mr. Wisdom.”

Ah. Learn shin ji-hye
I didn’t see it Was there no filming?

“What happened yesterday? Why didn’t Jeonghwan come?”
“Yes. Just some.”
“While still being pushed. PD, your head hurts.”

Contrary to Hwang Soo-ah, who has been sluggish recently, Shin Ji-hye is a rising young actress.
Perhaps because of her sad image and cool personality, she is the number one caster for the role of a popular female lead with an ordinary appearance (actually not ordinary at all).
If Hwang Soo-ah is an actress with classic beauty, Shin Ji-hye can definitely be called a new generation actress.

“By the way, who is this person?”
“Hello. She is said to be Jinseonhu. Hwang Soo-ah is an actress manager.”

Actress Shin Ji-hye pointed to me and asked, so she introduced herself.

“Manager?”
“… Im Im-hye’s son. I personally asked for some help.”
“Ah! That was in the picture! Nice to meet you. I am Shin Ji-hye.”

Actress Shin Ji-hye shakes her hand as she extends her hand.
Then, actress Shin Ji-hye took my hand and shook it excitedly.

But photos?
Did your mom show you a picture?

“The real thing is definitely different. How old are you?”
“I am 21 years old.”
“21 years old? Totally baby, baby! Since I am the older sister, call me older sister!”
“Yes?”

Actress Shin Ji-hye was still holding my hand and shaking it.
I couldn’t even shake her hand and she was just shaking as she waved.

“Sister! Say it as Jihye noona.”
“Ji-hye, older sister?”
“Cute!”

… Are you cute to a grown man?
Actress Shin Ji-hye is a much brighter person than I thought.
She is a level of liveliness that only one in the school has.
I honestly want to run away.
Somehow PTSD…

“You, don’t you want to be a manager?”
“Yes?”

Actress Shin Ji-hye puts her arm around my shoulder and says.
Scout offer in less than 3 minutes after meeting.
Should I be happy about this?

“Mr. Wisdom. What are you doing? He’s my manager before and after the scene.”
“How is it~ Senior and I signed a contract~.”
“Mr. Don’t listen to me for nothing Jihye’s manager is notorious for running away after not lasting even a week.”

What do you want me to do

Of course I wouldn’t do it even if I told you to.
This person is like a black hole.
When I’m with you, my energy is sucked in and I dry up.

“Come on, Mr. There are no individual shoots, so we can just go.”
“Ah. Yes.”
“Call me separately later.”
“Su, good work.”

I said hello to actress Shin Ji-hye, who waved her hand to see her off, and left.

Actress Hwang Soo-ah, who leads the way, walks behind.
Today is bullshit
Filming is futile, and apologizing to actor Joo Jung-hwan is futile.

She made up her mind
Should I do it again tomorrow?
Can’t we just move on like this?
Oh, it’s annoying.
I don’t want to worry about it, so I want it to end soon.

“… Mr. Seonhu.”
“Yes?”

Arriving at the parking lot and getting into the car, Sua calls out in a serious voice.

“…”

When I call him, he doesn’t say anything.
Not even looking at me. I’m only looking at the front glass.
He looks angry.
Hmm.

“Is there anywhere you want to go? Shall we stop by?”

After thinking for a while, Sua said.

“… Ocean. Let’s go see the sea.”
“Ocean? Now?”
“Yes.”

It’s still early.
It’s not the season and the time is ambiguous, but this quiet time might be the right time for a celebrity like Sua to go see it.

“Is it so. Let’s go, sea.”
“Really?”

Ms. Sua opened her eyes wide as if my answer was unexpected.

“What’s not going to happen? If you want to go, you go.”

I’ve been to Oido a few times while driving alone at night.
I could have gone in an hour.

Won’t it be great?
Even if people recognize actress Hwang Soo-ah and swarm around her like zombies, since Su-ah is light-hearted, she could just lift her up and run away.
Well, that’s not going to happen.

Even after starting the car, Sua was silent for a long time.

“Mr. Seonhoo…”
“Yes?”
“Seonhoo-san, do you want to be Ji-hye’s manager?”
“Yes? Why is that?”

Sua, who had been quiet all of a sudden, brought up such a story.

“Isn’t someone like Jihye better? It’s not much fun with me…”

I laughed.
Why do you think it’s not funny? It’s so much fun.

Whether it’s Sua or actress Shin Ji-hye, it’s not a topic I’d choose, but even if that happens, I won’t choose Shin Ji-hye.
That’s not the brightness I can handle.

“Mr. Jihye is so bright that she doesn’t hang out with people like me. As you can see, I prefer the quiet because she is sullen.”

At my answer, Sua smiled the brightest of the day.

“And! It is the sea!”

Upon arriving at the beach, Su-ah runs towards the sea with joy like a child.
It was like a scene from a movie.
It was so cool that I would like to leave it as a painting if I could.

Ah. Even if you can’t draw, you have pictures.
I quickly took out my smartphone and took a picture.
A picture of Sua smiling brightly against the background of the sea.

I thought of deleting it if she didn’t like it, but when Sua found out that I was filming it, she was shy and posed while looking at the camera.
Also an actress.
It is art no matter how you shoot it.

There were a few people on the beach who seemed to be families or couples, but no one cared about this side.
In people’s eyes, we’ll look like an ordinary couple.
I walked behind Sua, who walked lightly.

Good to come
I like Sua too, but I was also healed by watching Sua and the sea.
Looking at the open sea, my heart seemed to expand.
It felt like my worries were nothing.

What is Sua thinking while looking at the sea?
Sua, who had been staring blankly at the sea for a long time, shouted at the sea with all her might.

“Mom—! Dad-! I’m sorry——!”

Did that voice reach the other side of the sea?
Really, everything is like a movie.

I silently wiped the tears from Sua’s cheeks.
