135 – 131. Girls’ Room
“Hmm.”
Gold One bakery, Daehandang.
Seo Yerim was humming a tune while working hard as usual today.
Her part-time job was almost over.
Thanks to Seo Yerim’s popularity on SNS, Daehandang’s sales had increased significantly compared to previous years, and the store manager was delighted.
He had sincerely asked Seo Yerim if she wanted to work full-time, but she had declined.
It was safe to say that he was worried about what would happen after she left.
Anyway.
Her time at Gold One had been so wonderful that she could end it with a clear conscience.
However, as she was nearing the end.
There was still one more incident that Seo Yerim had to go through at Gold One.
Two men entered at that moment.
Unlike the other customers, they didn’t even glance at the bread.
The man in front, who was a little thin, had a stylish impression with his hair waxed, and the clothes he was wearing were from an expensive brand that was not easily accessible.
And the other one behind him…
“Oh my? Isn’t that Cha Seung-ho?”
“I heard the filming was extended, but he’s still here!”
“C-can I take a picture?”
While the part-timers were gossiping, Seo Yerim also looked at Cha Seung-ho with admiration, saying, “Oh.”
She had seen many famous people, but this was the first time she had seen someone as famous as actor Cha Seung-ho.
He was a leading actor.
He had a huge fandom and was considered a top-notch actor.
The thin man and Cha Seung-ho looked around the store and approached Seo Yerim.
At first, she thought they were going to ask about the bread.
“Hello, I’m Jung Min-chan, the director of YS Entertainment.”
Seo Yerim’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at the director who smiled broadly and handed her his business card.
In the past, she would have refused without hesitation whenever she received something like this.
However, this was the first business card she had received since she had shared her dream of becoming an actress with Kim Woo-jin.
Moreover, YS Entertainment was a company that represented many famous celebrities in Korea.
“……”
Seo Yerim looked down at the business card and pursed her lips.
Her parents had warned her about this many times, and she herself had almost been deceived on more than one occasion.
She had seen people who handed out business cards under false pretenses, and she had also seen strange entertainment companies with similar names. There were even people who tried to lure her into becoming an AV actress.
As beautiful as the flower named Seo Yerim was, it was inevitable that many bugs would swarm around her.
‘But…’
This time was different.
Cha Seung-ho, one of the nation’s top actors, was standing right next to her.
“Wow, you’re much prettier in person. That’s why Seung-ho insisted on seeing you in person?”
“hahahaha.”
Cha Seung-ho smiled awkwardly.
“Are you scouting me?”
Seo Yerim, who had been staring at the business card, asked directly.
It seemed to be the first time she had asked directly, and the director looked a little flustered.
But he quickly smiled and nodded.
“You must have a lot of experience with this? I can tell that you’ve turned down all the offers since you haven’t debuted yet.”
“……”
She didn’t deny it.That’s what actually happened.
“If you’re not uncomfortable, would you like to have a cup of coffee with me? I don’t know what other offers you’ve received, but I don’t want to lose you, Yerim-ssi.”
He already knows my name.
I don’t know how he found out, but Seo Yerim glances at the head of the Daehan Party.
“Okay.”
The head of the party immediately gives the okay sign by curling his fingers.
“Then let’s talk here.”
Daehan Party had a separate table where they could eat bread, so I guided them there.
The three of us started talking about this and that over the coffee that was served.
* * *
“…….”
Knock, knock.
As I knocked on the front door, I heard footsteps coming towards me from inside.
It’s a women’s dormitory, so I’m keeping an eye on my surroundings, but I’m secretly used to being here.
“I’m a little nervous.”
Chan-woo, who followed me, muttered that he was nervous.
“What are you nervous about? We’re just going into the kids’ room.”
Besides, they’re the ones who called us.
“Woojin-ah, you’re amazing sometimes.”
“I think you’re more amazing. How can you fail in love with that face?”
“…….”
I once again reprimand Chan-woo, who ruined his relationship with a girl part-timer at the workplace where we work together.
Chan-woo was almost a punching bag in our room.
With that face, you deserve to be hit if you fail in love.
Everyone else starts with a favorability rating of 0, but if you fail when you start at 90 on your own, that’s it.
“If I were you, huh? I’d just flirt with them all. I’d change women once a day…….”
Creak.
“……I wouldn’t cheat. I’d be faithful. Faithfulness is the best.”
The moment I received Yoo Ah-rin’s sullen gaze from the door, I immediately changed my words.
“What the hell. I really want to tear your limbs off, Kim Woo-jin.”
“I’m scared.”
As I went inside with a fierce glare, I saw women sitting in a circle in the living room eating snacks.
It’s definitely a room with the same structure as ours, and the same number of people live in it, but this place smells strangely good.
“You’re here!”
“Chan-woo, it’s been a long time!”
Lee Seo-ah and Han Bom immediately welcomed us.
Especially Lee Seo-ah has been clinging to me quite a bit since I helped her with her boyfriend last time.
But I ignored the two of them and immediately greeted Sunbae Joo-hee, who was drinking beer.
“Sunbae, hello!”
“Oh, hello.”
As expected.
He greets me with a concise gesture while drinking beer as if he were some kind of godfather.
Seo Yerim, who had already made a seat for me.
As I sat down next to her naturally, she smiled broadly and tried to pat my head, so I pushed her hand away.
“What’s going on?”
It’s not just that I was invited to a women’s room, but also that Chan-woo was invited as well.
I thought it wasn’t normal, but when I actually came, there was a rather light-hearted drinking party going on.
‘Did they just call us because they were drunk?’
I was a little worried that it wasn’t some kind of injection, but the story started right away.
The story was simple and, to be honest, not very shocking.
It’s great that a large agency called YS Entertainment made an offer, but…… isn’t it Seo Yerim?I’ve seen her get scouted a few times, so it’s not that surprising.
What matters is how she reacts.
“Are you thinking about it differently than before?”
I asked while looking at Seo Ye-rin intently, and she smiled bashfully and nodded as if she was glad that I knew her mind.
“Yeah, I think it would be good to organize my thoughts before I tell my parents.”
So that’s why she called us?
I thought it was a bit of a weak reason, but Seo Ye-rin continued to explain.
“Plus, I decided to go as an extra in a movie that’s filming at a casino.”
“Hmm?”
“Tongue, they said it would help me make a choice if I got a feel for the atmosphere on set. So I decided to go.”
Seo Ye-rin stuttered and blushed. It was probably a small role that would only appear briefly, but she seemed nervous nonetheless.
‘That’s good.’ The words lingered in my mouth, but they didn’t come out.
What should I say?
I thought getting scouted was just something that happened, but she’s going to a professional set so quickly…
I guess it feels like she’s getting further away.
Later, when Seo Ye-rin becomes really famous, will it be impossible to have the same relationship as we do now? The obvious question came to mind.
‘Whatever.’
It was too far-fetched and selfish.
I just let it go and asked her what role she was playing, and it was a decent role.
She was a woman who came to play alone, had no lines, and gestured to the lost protagonist to show him the way.
“That’s definitely easy.”
It was a little funny to see Seo Ye-rin already practicing her gestures.
And then, in the midst of all that.
“No, why is it definitely Chan-woo? Even if Cha Seung-ho is handsome, he can’t compare to Chan-woo!”
“No matter what, he has the dignity of a great actor. If you see him in person, Cha Seung-ho will be more handsome.”
Han-bom and Lee Seo-ah were arguing over Chan-woo.
The photo of Cha Seung-ho on Lee Seo-ah’s phone looked like it was from a movie.
He was definitely handsome.
“Ye-rin saw him in person, so let’s ask her. Ye-rin, what do you think? Who’s more handsome?”
“Definitely Cha Seung-ho? He’s my senior, Seung-ho!”
Is Lee Seo-ah already being treated as a senior because she’s in the Department of Theater and Film?
Seo Ye-rin must be envious, but it’s impressive that she’s pretending not to be.
“Hmm…”
Seo Ye-rin looked back and forth between Chan-woo and Cha Seung-ho on the phone, then glanced at me and smiled.
“I like Woo-jin?”
“……”
“……”
Their mouths snapped shut and they looked straight at me.
“What are you talking about?”
You can’t be shy at a time like this.
Instead, let’s respond confidently and the two of them will immediately start fussing.
“Hey! It’s not Woo-jin!”
“That’s right, why are you including someone when we’re talking about handsome men? That’s cruel.”
Seo Ye-rin ate a cookie as if to say there was no need to respond. The two of them turned their gazes to Senior Joo-hee, who was sitting on the sofa alone, drinking beer.
“What about you, Senior?”
“Who do you think is more handsome?”
“Huh?”
She seemed to regret not being able to smoke, so she smacked her lips and glanced at the photo and Chan-woo, then smiled coolly and said,
“I like our pretty boy too.”
“Senior, noooo!”I immediately got up and ran to Sunbae Juhee, who opened her arms and hugged me.
The smell of alcohol was strong, so she must have had more than one or two cans, and I didn’t know she would hug me, but good is good, right?
“You didn’t react like that when I said it.”
Seoyerin hit my butt, which was being hugged by Sunbae Juhee.
However, Iseoa and Hanbom were already with Yuarin.
“What about you, Arin?”
“Chanwoo, Seungho?”
After finishing my hug with Sunbae Juhee and sitting back down, Yuarin also glanced at me.
I looked at Yuarin with anticipation.

If she picked me here, I would be the man who beat Seungho and Jung Chanwoo 3:1:1.
“Ha, Seungho.”
Yuarin answered immediately, ignoring my hopeful gaze.
Yes, I knew it.
Anyway, I was satisfied because I beat Jung Chanwoo and tied with Seungho.
…I should hit Yuarin’s butt one more time when I leave.
