Chapter 128 < Someone Like Me? >

Baek Seo-jun clicked his tongue as he looked at the massive data that Yoo Yeon Seo had sent him. He wouldnt have been able to get this much information in such a short time if he had investigated it himself.

As he skimmed through the data for a while, Baek Seo-jun chuckled as he saw the name of the person on his phone screen.

Hey, are you not busy?

(Did you get the data?)

Im looking at it right now. Hey, why did you do this much?

Besides, the secretary had organized it so neatly that it was easy to see. He wished he could have someone like this under him He sighed involuntarily. He had to flatter the person who was the son of the chief, and his colleague next to him was picking a fight

You just focus on your own work. Im fine these days because Im not busy.

(Did you hear something from your brother?)

Baek Seo-jun frowned at the suspicious tone. He got up from his seat and headed to the emergency exit stairs.

Did you think I wouldnt hear it? Im his best friend, you know.

(Its not that serious.)

You dont know because youre a young master, but even if youre not close, you worry first and then see when your family is sick.

Yoo Yeon Seo scowled at his words. How old am I that youre treating me like a kid? But he couldnt help but shut his mouth at Baek Seo-juns next words.

I havent seen him for over 10 years, you know? But this is the first time hes been so sensitive.

()

Think of it as getting back what you did before.

What I did before Yoo Yeon Seo realized that it was right after he had found Lee Hee-seos corpse. He thought he shouldnt see his brother in that state of mind, so he hoped that Yu Eun-ho wouldnt get involved in this case.

Did he tell him that too They must be really close. Yoo Yeon Seo changed the subject.

(What about the person in the video I found?)

I was going to check it out for a few days, but I lost him in the middle.

(What?)

He seems to be good at avoiding CCTV and black boxes. Anyway, leave this to the police.

Yoo Yeon Seo said he understood. Honestly, it was convenient to have Baek Seo-jun. Ju Sungs information skills were not bad either, but it took a long time for things that required authority.

(Do you have anything to point out?)

Yeah, why of all things

(What about now?)

Well, youve been a hot topic more than once, havent you? Frankly, you must have had a truckload of people who recognized you when you debuted.

He was Lee Hee-seos son, after all. It was no secret that Yoo Yeon Seo was the first person to discover her tragedy. There were no proper guidelines for reporting at that time, and the reporters had a lot of power.

So, in fact, he became popular from his debut because of the interest in Lee Hee-seo rather than Yoo Yeon Seo As he thought so, Baek Seo-jun suddenly lifted his head as if something came to his mind.

It might not be because of you There might be another reason.

Baek Seo-jun found a person who had died relatively recently in the list of employees. It said he died of a disease, but he didnt go to the hospital and check it himself.

There were also things he hadnt investigated yet. Even if he was clean, were his family members clean? For example, if suspicious money came into his account He was too busy to check it properly. Now that he had settled in, he decided to take advantage of his fathers back. He confidently said.

I have something to point out, so you just do your own work.

(Let me know as soon as you find out.)

Ill do that if I get your brothers permission.

(Am I a kid?)

Yoo Yeon Seo spat out his words and returned to his seat. Kwak Chi-hoon, who was sitting next to him, pulled his chair back and watched Baek Seo-jun with a suspicious eye.

Where are you going?

Yeah, Im leaving.

He didnt bother to be polite to him since he was rude first.

As he hurriedly left, Kwak Chi-hoon bit his teeth at Baek Seo-juns back.

What a lucky bastard

Some people had to struggle to get to this position, while some others were born with a silver spoon in their mouth He glared at the entrance where Baek Seo-jun had left for a while, then he made a phone call somewhere.

***

You seem to be in a bad mood.

Yoo Yeon Seo came to his senses at the makeup artists words after he hung up with Baek Seo-jun.

Yeah, I had some annoying things to deal with.

Its a busy time for you, right?

Yeah, it is.

He was busy enjoying the popularity of Guksae. He had to turn down many offers for advertisements, interviews, and photo shoots, as he couldnt handle them all. He worked with his manager, Park, to select only the best ones that would boost his image as an actor.

I could be busier, right?

Thats why he was glad that his schedule was packed for the past few days. He didnt have to worry about Hwan-yeong and slept soundly. He also felt less obsessed with catching the culprit. Not that he was going to leave everything to Baek Seo-jun and his brother.

Yeon Seo.

Auntie.

Anyway, one of the advertisements he agreed to do was for a fashion brand run by his aunt, who inherited it from his grandmother. The staff were surprised to see the owner show up at the shooting site. Did they not tell her that he was coming?

Why does your face look more and more like half of it is gone?

I look the same.

Same? Whats the same?

Yeon Seo let out a hollow laugh as his aunt stroked his cheek. He slept well because he was busy, and he didnt skip meals because Yu Eun-ho was by his side. He actually felt better than before, but the eyes of his relatives were never satisfied.

Brother!

Why is he here?

He asked nervously, and his aunt, Yu Seon-yeong, smiled and said it was part of the marketing. Marketing? Him? He frowned as he saw his cousin rush towards him.

Did you come to play?

No, I came as an influencer. I came to film the behind-the-scenes of the advertisement.

You?

Park Seon-woo put his hand on his waist and spoke confidently.

Brother, I have three million subscribers.

Its the end of the world.

What do you mean, brother? Im a big company.

How much of a stake do I have in it?

Park Seon-woo didnt answer and chuckled. He owed a lot to Yeon Seo for his channel becoming a big company.

Hows your body?

Why does everyone ask me that? Im fine.

Brother, you were out of it for a few days back then.

Shut up.

Yeon Seo clenched his teeth and answered, glancing at the people around him. He didnt want the rumors about his health to spread. He had been bleeding from his nose and leaving his seat in a hurry during the filming of Guksae, and people wondered if he was sick.

Thats mostly because of Lee Tae-gyeom.

His manager followed him around with a serious expression, and some even speculated that he had a serious illness.

Anyway, he didnt want the rumors to grow bigger. People would prefer healthy people when they work with them. Who would like a sick person? Besides, there was nothing wrong with his body.

Yeon Seo tilted his head as he saw Park Seon-woo preparing his filming equipment.

Are you alone? Wheres your friend?

Oh, hes looking for a job. And I came alone to prevent spoilers.

Park Seon-woos expression darkened when his friend was mentioned, but it was only for a moment. Something must have happened. Yeon Seo pretended not to notice.

Okay, thats it.

He looked professional as he set up the camera and checked the screen.

By the way, when are you graduating, brother?

I have one semester left.

He had been taking a semester off and going back to school because of his schedule, but he was attending diligently. He couldnt postpone it any longer.

Will this continue until next year?

By then, the popularity of Guksae would die down. He thought complacently.

Were resuming the shooting.

Okay.

The break was over, and the shooting resumed. Yeon Seo was the model for a line that was carefully designed by a famous foreign designer. It was a project that Yu Seon-yeong was staking her life on. Park Seon-woo talked to the camera and then captured Yeon Seos shooting with his own camera.

Hes so handsome.

Are you going to take a picture with him later?

Of course.

Park Seon-woo heard the murmurs of the staff. They all put aside their work and came to watch the shooting because Yeon Seo was here. He felt proud and ran to Yeon Seo, who changed his clothes and came out.

Brother, what are you doing after this?

I have to go to my schedule.

Another one? Youre so busy.

Actually, it was more of a personal errand than a schedule.

***

Youre not going to the filming site right away, are you?

Yes. Why?

Whats the problem? I know where theyre filming. Yoo Yeon Seo tilted her head.

Cha Yoon-ho, who was Yoo Yeon Seos secretary at JSENM, smiled softly at his boss. He thought to himself that she was oblivious to the troubles of the lower-level employees, as expected from the owners family.

Well If you go, sir, it might look like youre pressuring them.

Oh, I guess it could look like that.

He remembered how his little aunt had suddenly come to the filming site and caused a commotion among the staff.

In the pre-production and investment stages, the production company and the investors had a lot of influence, but once the filming started, the director had the priority in the filming site.

But what if the director of the company that was both the investor and the production company, and also the distributor, came to the filming site for fun? It would naturally be stressful. Not to mention that some directors would take it as a bullying act if the production company brought the investors to observe.

This director might like you, but he might still feel a bit uncomfortable.

The movie that Lee Jung-hoon was making, which was done in a flash, was also nearing the end of filming. It was possible because of the strong capital. Thats why Lee Jung-hoons liking for Yoo Yeon Seo was increasing day by day.

Hmm Then should I disguise myself?

What?

Lets go anyway.

He was not the type to listen to Cha Yoon-hos dissuasion. Yoo Yeon Seo, who wore a baseball cap and a mask and disguised herself as a production staff, headed to the filming site of Lee Jung-hoons movie Only.

Lets do it one more time.

They were in the middle of filming, so no one noticed that a stranger had come. Yoo Yeon Seo sat in a corner and quietly watched the filming. The actor on the screen was alone. But he was acting as if he had a co-star in front of him, looking at a pillar. It was because of the schedule adjustment of the actors.

Come to think of it I had a pretty easy time filming.

Everything in the preparation stage of the filming was done according to Yoo Yeon Seos preference. He matched the co-stars to make it easier for him to act. But it was okay since he invested money, right?

Wait a minute.

Lee Jung-hoon, who had complained that his scenario was stolen, had a decent directors attitude. He said that sometimes Cheon director came and gave him advice on filming.

Right, Cheon director was there too

Cheon directors movie was also about to start filming. Yoo Yeon Seo suggested filming observation as a contract condition, and Cheon director refused, thinking that he was pressuring him. But when he found out that Yoo Yeon Seos intention was to offer a radical condition and improve his acting, he gladly accepted.

When will I catch the culprit if I observe that?

He felt anxious and saw a white figure flickering in front of his eyes. He shook his head vigorously.

Okay.

Lee Jung-hoons okay sign ended, and the actor went back to his place with a tired face. He took the water from his manager and drank it, then frowned.

Hey, cant you do it right?

What, theres someone like me? Yoo Yeon Seo looked at him with interest.
