"Hello. This is Lee Yeo-ju, Kim Jae-hwan's new manager."
I guess no one is that happy with my greetings. When I say hello, everyone just looks at me and no one responds. The atmosphere here is so cold.
A silence flowed. After my greeting, though, I'm not the type to be cautious, so I broke that silence too.
이여주
"Where should I start with my work?"
I tried my best to make eye contact while asking questions, but everyone was busy avoiding my gaze. Why? The reason is obvious. It's because of Kim Jaehwan.
???
"Lady, come here! I'll tell you."
While everyone else was just watching Kim Jae-hwan's reaction, a woman who looked to be around my age noticed my reaction and said she would tell me something, and then she dragged me away so that I wouldn't get hurt. Ah, so you're watching your reaction too.
김세정
"I'm Kim Se-jeong. You're Lee Yeo-ju, right? I heard we're the same age! But..."
김세정
"Why did you come here? There's a really bad rumor going around here..."
김세정
"Did you see that before? This is our atmosphere..."
이여주
"I don't care, I just came here to make money."
Kim Jae-hwan's rumors are quite famous in this industry. It's still a mystery why he's so popular despite being known for being ruthless and unlucky.
Kim Jae-hwan said he strongly dislikes women. I don't know the exact reason, but I heard it's from the past. In the past, having a female manager would naturally be unfavorable. I was told that the maximum length of time for former female managers was about a week.
How bad could it be? I couldn't even last a week. But that wasn't my problem. I just care about making money. I don't know how they'll punish me, but I'll hold on as long as I can, and I just need to make money.
김세정
"Still, be careful, Miss."
But seeing that it still remains, I guess it's not all that bad.

When I actually got in, I was like, "Top Star Manager?" Nothing special. Driving, watching filming, it was the same old routine every time. So it wasn't fun.
Next schedule, photo shoot
I drove the same way and arrived at the filming location on time. Of course, we drove in silence, not saying a word to each other.
이여주
"We have arrived. Please disembark."
bang-
At my words that I had arrived, Kim Jae-hwan slammed the car door shut and got out.
It seems like it's not a lie that there are no cheapskates.

I was watching Kim Jae-hwan, who was filming, striking poses and making expressions in the same pattern. The shoot took longer than expected. Filming, which was supposed to end at 11 p.m., dragged on until 1 a.m.
It takes a really long time to film once. But I'm so used to it that it's not fun.
김세정
"Um... If you're tired, should I go out and come back?"
Sure. Sejeong doesn't seem to know where I worked or who I am. Is it hard? Not at all. She's used to this kind of work, so it's not fun. It wasn't hard.
이여주
"Um... can I go out? I have to watch over Kim Jae-hwan..."
김세정
"That's fine! See those two over there? Those two act as your managers when you're not around."
이여주
"Oh really? Then go out, Sejeong."
Going outside felt a bit more life-affirming. Staying in this stuffy, suffocating place would be a waste of time. I just sat on the bench in front and chatted with Sejeong. It was dark in the early morning, though, and I couldn't see much.

김세정
"Oh, I think it should be over by now? Let's go, Miss Yeoju!"
이여주
"Oh, yes."
We left at 1 a.m. and stayed out until 2 a.m. We checked the time, quickly packed our bags, and headed back to the photo studio.

When I arrived, it seemed like filming had ended, just as Saejung had said. Even though I was outside, the sound of applause and powerful "Thank you for your hard work" echoed through the hallway.
이여주
"Can I leave work now?"
Ah, Miss Yeoju, I'll take Jaehwan to his dorm and get off work~
I was just about to leave work, but when the director told me to drop Kim Jae-hwan off at his lodgings and leave, I couldn't refuse. I desperately wanted to get off work, so I searched for him, but he was nowhere to be found.
이여주
"Saejeong, do you know where Kim Jaehwan is?"
김세정
"Oh, no? He should be around here! I'll look for him too."
이여주
"thank you"
Sejeong, as if this wasn't the first or second time this had happened, brushed it off lightly and said she was nearby and would come look for it with me. Sejeong was so kind.
이여주
"Hey, Mr. Kim Jae-hwan!"
김재환
.......
이여주
"Stop. You go, and I'll get off work too."
김재환
.......
Kim Jae-hwan was still ignoring me. He avoided me even though I told him to stop. So I just grabbed his wrist.
이여주
"Ha.. Let's go, I'm not a kid.."
김재환
"Let's not touch each other. It makes us feel dirty."
이여주
"her..."
When I grabbed his arm, he frowned and slapped my hand away. With those words, my mood also got worse.
Is this a needless arrogance, an arrogance that wants to get rid of Kim Jae-hwan's arrogance?
이여주
"You don't like it?"
There was a tense atmosphere between us.
작가
This was originally a fanfiction that I wrote somewhere else, but I guess it doesn't really fit with visual fanfiction. I tried writing this once after trying to write a regular fanfiction, but it failed.

Still, I'll give you a hug♡
