“You’re crazy! You’re a jerk,”

CEO Kim shouted, hitting the desk.

“I heard you soundproofed the office, and it must have gone well.”

Even though Lee Wooyeon was being criticized right on his face, he answered without any change. Next to him, Choi Inseop was the only one who was restless.

“How many times have I told you not to turn a reporter into an enemy?”

“I don’t know. About six times.”

“But what are you doing?”

CEO Kim shouted, turning the laptop screen in front of Lee Wooyeon. There was an article accusing top star Lee Wooyeon of his arrogant behavior under the title ‘Two Faces’.

“There’s no one in the world who breaks a reporter’s camera for secretly taking pictures before the movie is released! Are you determined for your act to be exposed?”

“It’s not just an act.’ I just did as the CEO said.”

As soon as he faced Lee Wooyeon, who smiled leisurely, CEO Kim got goosebumps. He was finally crazy enough to be out of control…

“You said you only see me in entertainment. This isn’t a social experiment.”

“… I want to die.”

Lee Wooyeon smiled lightly and swept his hair up.

“I thought I would break his head, not the camera, but I held it in. Isn’t it worthy of praise?”

CEO Kim stared at Lee Wooyeon for a long time and groaned.

“Yes.Even if Lee Wooyeon is like that, Inseop, what did you do?”

Inseop bowed his head with an expression knowing that it was finally his turn.

“I’m sorry, I…”

“What did Inseop do wrong? It’s all my fault.”

Lee Wooyeon cut off Inseop’s words. Although he claimed it to be his fault, Lee Wooyeon’s gaze towards CEO Kim was brutal itself.

“No, it’s my fault. I’m so sorry. I’ll take any reprimand.”

Inseop put his hands together and apologized. It was all because he overreacted because of Kang Youngmo. There was no excuses.

“Please pay for the camera with my salary. And I will continue to work for free. No, you can cut my pay if you want.”

“You don’t have to cut it.”

Lee Wooyeon continued while looking at CEO Kim.

“Please report that I reacted sensitively to the trauma caused by the stalker incident. I don’t mind disclosing the hospital records if necessary, saying that I’ve been having a hard time getting counseling since then. I like to stand on the side of the weak and wield a sense of justice, so it will soon turn the tables.”

Inseop blinked because he was surprised by the first story he heard.

“Did you get counseling about it?”

When Inseop asked in a small voice, Lee Wooyeon smiled.

“I went to get a prescription for sleeping pills because of insomnia.”

It was also the first time that he heard that Lee Wooyeon had insomnia.

“Inseop, it was when you were in the U.S. Don’t worry. I’m fine now.”

CEO Kim sighed.

“Fine. But even if you say it, what are you going to do with this?”

CEO Kim lowered his voice and showed him the reporter’s new article from earlier.

Lee Wooyeon and Chae Yeonseo are dating separately, and they spread false rumors of a romantic relationship to promote their work.

“What am I promoting?”

“Chae Yeonseo is on the list of female main characters in Cho Yoonyoung’s new work.”

‘You’re telling me that important story now?’I knew it since yesterday.\'”

“You’re not wrong about what the reporter said. The promotion will go well,”

Lee Wooyeon said in a tone like it didn’t matter.

“It’s troublesome if you start being attacked by one like this, don’t you know the habits of journalists? It hasn’t been long since we shook off Kim Hae Shin. And you put on a leech like this.”

CEO Kim glanced at Inseop and gestured at Lee Wooyeon with his eyes. Inseop stood shaking, his fingertips turning blue.

“Inseop”.

When Lee Wooyeon called Choi Inseop, Inseop exhaled and raised his head.

“I left my paper envelope in the car, could you bring it to me? The CEO told me to submit it by today.”

“What do you mean…”

Lee Wooyeon kicked CEO Kim’s shin under the table who opened his mouth.

“Oh, that’s right, that’s right. I told you to bring it by today. Inseop, can you hurry up and find it and bring it to me?”

CEO Kim helped Lee Wooyeon.

“Yes, sir. Did you put it in the back seat?

“I probably did.”

When Choi Inseop left the CEO’s office, CEO Kim rubbed his red shin.

He glared at Lee Wooyeon.

“Son of a bitch, you kicked with emotion.”

“I don’t have any feelings for the CEO. All the emotions I have are with Inseop. Don’t worry.”

“…That’s why I’m worried. I’m sure this guy posted an article about Chae Yeonseo, but it’s true that you’re dating someone else.

If the truth was revealed, they would be hit several times more than the affair.

“I’m sorry to Inseop, but… Do you want to fire him? I decided to help him for a while anyway, and Inseop will be on vacation, so he can have fun.”

Lee Wooyeon closed his eyes and swallowed his laughter.

“The CEO is a cold-hearted man.”

“What?”

When he was criticized by a person who was cold-hearted, as well as a rude person, a tendon stood out on CEO Kim’s forehead.

“Poor Inseop. He offered to help in good faith, but you fired him unfairly even though it wasn’t his fault.”

“Who doesn’t know that! I’m not saying this for you.”

“People who always think about themselves put those words at the beginning. Of course, I’m not saying this to the CEO.”

“Hey, you’re really…!”

“CEO, if you’re really thinking about me, leave Inseop alone.”

“You’d better be careful now. And Inseop doesn’t look good these days.”

“I know.”

Lee Wooyeon picked up a bottle of water from the table and opened the cap.

As CEO Kim said, Inseop’s face was not good these days. He used to show up even when he couldn’t sleep well. When asked where he was sick, he just shook his head.

But he wanted to see even that blank face. He didn’t have a chance to see Inseop’s face unless it was because of work these days. When he had a break and wanted to eat with him, Inseop often went back home because he had something to do.

He took a sip of water. His thirst hadn’t gone away at all.

“I know… I’m nervous.”

“What’s disturbing you?”

“Inseop, I guess he wants to go back to the U.S. I feel like he’s floating away these days. What can I do? I’m going to make him work and hold him next to me.”

“You’re more…”

“Pathetic?”

“No. I was going to say desperate, but I think pathetic is right. Lee Wooyeon, you’re a wonder.”

He was someone who didn’t stop a woman coming and a woman who went. It was not easy for CEO Kim to believe that he said he should keep him as a manager because he was afraid that Inseop would not meet him.

“It can’t be helped. I don’t even have a covering wing.”

CEO Kim glanced at Lee Wooyeon’s face, who was talking to himself in a gloomy manner. The line from the forehead to the nose fell gracefully as if drawn. Throughout his modeling career, he has seen many handsome faces, but he swears he has never seen a face with perfect proportions like Lee Wooyeon. If he was a woodcutter, there would be few fairies who would go up to the sky.

“…If I could, I would have set him on fire.”

“I can’t even make him pregnant, so I’ll have to burn him.”

Right. If he gave him an ax, he would cut down the mountain spirit, take the gold ax first, and then split the deer’s belly and finish it for dinner.

CEO Kim quickly shook off his sympathy, which was a very momentary moment.

“But now, I’m kind of separated from Inseop…”

“CEO.”

Lee Wooyeon quietly called CEO Kim. It was not a day when he was grinning, angry, or cheeky as usual.

“You saw what would happen if I was separated from Inseop,”

Lee Wooyeon said calmly.

“That’s true.”

CEO Kim replied with a complex look. Lee Wooyeon described it as insomnia earlier, but he never wanted to see it again.

“Then do you want to have another manager? Inseop would also be comfortable and it’ll be killing two birds with one stone…”

“I don’t want to.”

Lee Wooyeon refused at once. The only time he could be alone was when he drove him back and forth. He didn’t want anyone else around during that time.

“I’m getting old because of you, I’m getting old,”

CEO Kim wrapped his head and made a groaning sound.

“I’ll be careful. Don’t worry.”

“Wouldn’t you be worried?”

“I’m not the CEO. You renewed your contract with a guy like me. If I were you, I would never have done it.”

The contract with Lee Wooyeon ended. As soon as rumors circulated that he was on the market, he got calls offering a huge down payment from place to place. Lee Wooyeon didn’t care at all.

“If you want, can I renew my contract?”

At the words thrown by Lee Wooyeon, who sat cross legged, CEO Kim eagerly calculated the money Lee Wooyeon earned last year. Eventually, despite Cha’s dissuasion, CEO Kim visited Lee Wooyeon with a new contract and a bottle of vodka.

“Is the CEO a good person or doesn’t he have the ability to learn? Well, it’s both.”

Lee Wooyeon drank the bottled water and muttered words that he did not know were self-criticism or CEO Kim’s curse. Kim, a Christian, clenched his fist and began to take a look inside.

Then Lee Wooyeon’s cell phone rang.

“Hello? You can’t find it? No. I’ll come down. It’s okay. What are you sorry about?”

CEO Kim watched Lee Wooyeon appease his opponent with a perfect soft voice with a proud look.

‘I’m going to go.’

Lee Wooyeon, mouthed to CEO Kim and? stood up from his seat. CEO Kim waved his hand telling him to get out, as if he were kicking out evil spirits.

Lee Wooyeon suddenly turned around as if he had something in mind. Then, he lifted his laptop and scrolled down the article that CEO Kim showed earlier.

“What are you doing?”

In response to CEO Kim’s question, Lee Wooyeon tapped the laptop screen with his finger. Lee Wooyeon disappeared with a light wave of his hand. CEO Kim got goosebumps when he checked what he saw.

It had the name of the reporter who wrote the article.
