"Let's flirt, officially"

61 • Make some room for me.

도여주

Sister, what's really going on? You're acting... a little awkward.

차주희

Ha, ha... What are you talking about? What's so strange about-

At first, I thought he was just out for fun. But then he started laughing awkwardly and snatching my phone away, telling me not to use it. He kept acting strangely, so I wondered why and asked him.

As expected, Joohee waved her hands and denied everything.

도여주

Hmm, that's weird...

차주희

Ah, ah, let's watch TV, shall we? Oh my- Pororo is on, it's gonna be so- fun. Right?

도여주

Po... Lolo?

차주희

It's written on the program schedule - let's watch TV together.

I looked around the sofa, found the TV remote, and turned it on. And guess what? As soon as I turned it on, the entertainment news started playing. The first thing that came up was a story about the female lead and her ex-boyfriend.

차주희

Ah, ah!!!! No. Let's see something else, not this...

도여주

... Sister. You knew, right?

The female protagonist, who always spoke with a smile, suddenly lost her voice and stared at her with fearful eyes. Startled, Joohee, her spirits slumped, automatically raised her hands to the sky.

차주희

I was wrong....

도여주

Is this something that Jungkook knows? No, really... This is what you mean by urgent matter today?

차주희

Um, well, well? ... I don't know.

Taking a deep breath, Yeo-ju took out her phone and tried to call Jeong-guk. The call came in at just the right moment. "My sister" appeared on the screen.

도여주

- hello?.

도여민

-Hey, heroine. What's going on? Is that article true?!

A headache was brewing. It seemed like everyone was missing. Joohee reached out and rubbed her head, and Yeoju began to notice her expression.

도여주

- You don't believe that, do you?

도여민

- I don't believe it... but just in case, I was worried, so I contacted you.

도여주

- Sigh, for now... I'll contact you again later, later. I need to resolve this first.

도여민

- Huh?, uh uh... Okay. Call me when it's resolved.

전정현

Miss Yeoju, are you okay?

도여민

I heard your voice. I think I know you now... I don't know. I'm worried.

Jeong-hyeon, who was sipping coffee, blinked twice, then took out his phone to call Jeong-guk. He went into his contacts to check if it was true or not, and pressed the call button. It rang a few times and then hung up.

전정현

...Jungkook must be very busy too. I called to ask him, but he hung up.

도여민

Will it be okay?

전정현

It'll be okay... right?

전정국

Hey, what on earth are you basing your articles on?

He asked the reporter who wrote the article, leaning against the desk with an angry expression on his face, as if he had caught him.

"Don't do that to me. I'm just... writing articles for a living, for which I was paid."

전정국

Did you get the money?. Who did you get it from?.

" that ... "

김요한

Sir, I keep getting calls. What should I do?

전정국

I have to say no. What can I do?

After speaking briefly, John turned back to the reporter and opened his mouth again.

전정국

Aren't you going to talk? Yeah, if you need the money that much... If you talk, I'll give you a favor. How about this?

"The only son of the prosecutor general, his wife asked me to do this..."

전정국

.... Phew, this is really going crazy. Really.

전정국

Mr. Reporter, I'll give you twice the amount of money that lady or something gave you. Can you write a counter-article?

"Ah... Still, it's an article I wrote."

전정국

Three times. I'll change public opinion by any means necessary. I'll do that much.

First, I was thinking of changing public opinion. That way, I could either go after that guy and split him into two groups, or I could just say something.

Then, suddenly, the door opened and Yeo-ju came into the office. Joo-hee, keeping an eye on Jeong-guk, joined her. And then, a hunch struck. She'd seen the article.

전정국

..... ah

차주희

Sorry... former president.

도여주

How long were you going to hide it? You're not going to solve it unless you talk about it. Surely you don't believe that either, do you?

전정국

No!!. That can't be possible...!

He approached the heroine, fidgeting, grabbed her sleeve, shook his head, and said he would never believe such a strange article.

도여주

Haa, first of all... I'll go meet that guy.

전정국

Who? ....

도여주

Who is it? Of course it's Nam Jin-hyuk. I'll go and settle the score.

전정국

Ah... that's actually not Nam Jin-hyuk.

He glanced at Jeongguk and then opened his mouth.

전정국

This is Nam Jin-hyeok's wife. What's the point of publishing an article?

The female protagonist, hearing those words, had a look of utter incomprehension. She'd never even met Nam Jin-hyeok's wife, so why would she do something like that to me? Joo-hee, unable to stand watching, opened her mouth.

차주희

Hey, lady. That's your ex-boyfriend's wife...

차주희

When we met at that restaurant, the person who gave you the luxury goods and gave you the favor was Nam Jin-hyuk's wife...

도여주

What?. No, Hyeji, why are you telling me...

전정국

Could it be because Nam Jin-hyuk still can't forget you? Because if I do this, I can screw you over...

At the time, I thought he was just saying that because I was low-level. When he told me he had malicious intentions toward me from the beginning, I got goosebumps all over my body.

도여주

Creepy....

전정국

I'll meet that girl, so don't worry about it, okay? You don't look well either.

도여주

My body is fine. Aside from giving me the creeps... And why are you meeting me? You're someone who has ill intentions towards me, so I should be meeting you.

도여주

Sister Joohee, please. Make room for Hyeji and me.
