127 – Cataclysm (4)
Giying-
The cell phone vibrated and only then did Seo Eun-woo and Seol So-young’s faces fall apart.
Seol So-yeong asked as she exhaled the breath she had been holding back all this time.
“…… Are you not answering the phone? I think it’s an urgent call.”
“If you don’t take it, I won’t.”
“No. There’s plenty of time ahead anyway, right?”
“I don’t think so.”
Seo Eun-woo hurriedly answered the phone with a light smile.
Of course, when I saw the name of the person on the phone, I suddenly became annoyed.
[CEO Baek Joon-young]
That’s awful…….
You can’t get the timing right.
Seo Eun-woo clicked his tongue and answered the phone.
─hahahaha. As you know, this is Baek Joon-young.
“Write… …. Why are you calling all of a sudden?”
─It doesn’t seem to be very pleasant to hear the voice. I’m very glad Anyway, if you wake up, shouldn’t you be the first to contact me?
“Um… That sounds kind of creepy.”
—Ah, that’s not what I mean! Because I wanted to personally say thank you. If it wasn’t for the writer, it would have been a really big deal.
I can understand why CEO Baek Joon-young wants to express his gratitude to me.
To be honest, if it wasn’t for me and manager Kyu-Min Oh, something big would have happened to Lee Da-hye.
Still, CEO Baek Joon-young also did his best.
I’m sure you’ve taken care of all the miscellaneous parts, such as clearing up the case, explaining the situation, and holding a press conference.
“I didn’t specifically want to be thanked by the CEO, I just did what I had to do. And the CEO suffered just as much as I did.”
─Wow… I didn’t expect to hear such words from the writer who lived and lived.
No, this person?
What kind of person am I within CEO Baek Joon-young?
It doesn’t really matter anyway.
What is certain is that because of this Lee Da-hye stalker incident, CEO Baek Joon-young was definitely in debt to me, and I was going to use that as an excuse to properly manage the CEO.
─Eh, Achoo!
“Do you have a cold?”
─No. Suddenly, I get a strange chill.
“Oops, didn’t you turn the air conditioner on too hard just because it was summer? You are the representative of JYB, so you should take good care of your body.
─What… Ominously, why are you worrying about my body? Did you get hit in the head fighting a stalker?
That CEO Baek Joon-young…… ?
Can you hear everything?
“But is that the end of the matter?”
─hahahaha. Could it be that The 927 author I respect.
In an instant, CEO Baek Joon-young’s voice changed.
To be precise, the atmosphere seems to have changed.
If until just now I was the usual CEO Baek Joon-young, now I have a strong feeling that I am suppressing my anger.
I don’t know what to do to upset the CEO……
[Currently, the first place in real-time search terms is Yeonggwang Group, and the second place is Lee Da-hye. So, I didn’t know, so I clicked it, but this picture appeared first.]
Ah.
Suddenly, a certain picture that Seol So-young showed me comes to mind.
Could it be related to Lee Da-hye?
─I’m a little curious if you’ve seen the pictures of the artist and Dahye doing something friendly that are circulating on the internet right now.
Um…….
It seems to fit.
“That… I just saw it.”
─Oh, is that so? Then it would be easy to talk about.
CEO Baek Joon-young said that this was what he thought when he first saw the photo.
Yes! Did Dahye and the writer finally connect? Well, the stalker incident would have made them more sticky, but it would be strange if they didn’t like each other…… Called.
─So right away, I was thinking of leaving a very shameless statement saying, ‘No contact with Seo Eun-woo, congratulations if it is true that you are in a relationship’.
“…… But?”
─It seems that Dahye’s dating rumor suddenly went to rescue Soyoung, right? She even said that she even spit out this comment there…… Maybe she’s going to be So-young’s boyfriend or something.
Could that have spread on the Internet?
Thinking back then, it seems like there were a lot of people watching…….
Anyway, now I think I know a little why CEO Baek Joon-young is suppressing his anger.
“Um… You know me well.”
─That’s because information spreads so fast. What’s more, it’s a story about people who are getting attention right now.
“In that sense, I think it would be better to end this discussion.”
─Ah, that would be boring. How many things do you have to talk about with someone who casually seduced an idol from my agency and went on to have an affair with another woman right away?
Write…….
If I had known this was the case, I would have stopped answering the phone.
“That… yes. I am sincerely sorry, so please just tell me the conclusion.”
─Conclusion? Don’t make Dahye a pitiful woman like this, and be responsible until the end, damn 927 writer!!!
Ah, I almost lost my ears.
Seol So-yeong laughs from the side, as if she could even hear CEO Baek Jun-young’s voice over the handset.
I sighed and put the phone back to my ear.
To be honest, it’s true that it’s a complicated situation even from my point of view.
And I was the one who brought that complicated situation on my own.
That’s why other people, including CEO Baek Joon-young, should organize it quickly so that their heads don’t hurt.
“You might be misunderstanding something, but I like Lee Da-hye.”
─Hmm? You suddenly say that at this timing? So what about Soyoung?
“Of course I like it.”
— … Are you really crazy? Are you sure there are no aftereffects from the stalker incident?
Half panic, half sincere concern.
Seeing CEO Baek Joon-young’s confused reaction, I, like Seol So-young, smiled.
“Anyway, JYB please keep silent for today. Are you good at that?”
─Yes… what. But what are you going to do in this situation?
“Let me explain briefly.”
I roughly explained my plan to CEO Baek Joon-young.
He reacted quite surprised, and Seol So-yeong, who heard this for the first time next to him, had the same reaction.
─Wow… You’re crazier than I thought.
“It seems that those words were slightly selfish… …. And you’re not crazy? Anyway, I’m going to ask Da-hye for a doctor tonight, but before that, please talk a little bit.”
─Yes. Still, after hearing the author’s story, I’m looking forward to it a little. What kind of picture will be drawn from tomorrow?

The phone call with CEO Baek Joon-young ended with that.
Then I looked at Seol So-young, who was eavesdropping on my words.
Seol So-young is making a surprised expression.
“What do you think of what I just said?”
I carefully asked her a question, and Seol So-yeong smiled and nodded her head.
“If that is a decision the writer made after much consideration, I will respect and follow it. Perhaps Dahye feels the same way.”
“…… Is it.”
I smiled bitterly when I heard Seol So-yeong’s positive answer, as if telling me to be at ease.
Yes…….
Honestly.
I think now is the time.
***
Seo Eun-woo came to his senses from the aftermath of the stalker incident and had several conversations with Cha Moo-sik, who was right next to him.
Among them, Moo-sik Cha heard shocking news from Eun-woo Seo.
“Ask for a press conference centered on the Wuhan Newspaper? Sincerely?”
“Yes. You said it before Later, if I do well, my article says that you will be picked as an exclusive. Doesn’t it feel kind of like that?”
“After… The problem is that you are a better person than you thought. I’ll try to convince my father once. But before you convince your father, you have to decide on something really important.”
“What is it?”
“Are you going to hold that press conference as Seo Eun-woo, or…… “
“You know. If it was the former, I would never have thought of holding a press conference in the first place.”
At Seo Eun-woo’s firm words, Mu-shik Cha let out a deep sigh.
Anyway, it seems that my friend made up his mind with this stalker case as an opportunity.
That’s how Cha Mu-sik went back to his house that day and told his father about his friend Nom’s press conference.
Cha Mu-shik’s father and vice president of Muhan Newspaper, ‘Cha Moon-ho’.
He also knew Seo Eun-woo well.
Isn’t his son’s best friend Seo Eun-woo?
In fact, we’ve talked often since we were young, and even shared meals together a few times.
Of course, I am well aware of the recent news about Seo Eun-woo’s performance.
From writing the script for her dream children, to rumors of her dating with popular idol Lee Da-hye, to saving her from her stalker who was threatening her at the same time.
Until now, I thought he was just a fairly normal kid, but this year’s move was a bit special.
Honestly, I think that would be enough for Moonho Cha to hold a press conference.
The problem is that even in the press conference, the classes are divided, and among them, Cha Moo-sik was proudly demanding the largest press conference.
Being the moderator of the press conference at the same time as the hosting of Wuhan Newspaper, and gathering reporters from all newspapers to hold a press conference for Seo Eun-woo.
Is Seo Eun-woo, a high school student, the subject of a press conference on a scale that is common for presidential-level politicians?
No matter how much it was a request from my son’s friend, it was a bit difficult.
You might be criticized for going too far.
This means that Wuhan Newspaper is not a very small newspaper company, and there is no reason to take such a risk.
“Son. That seems like a bit of a difficult request.”
On the one hand, I was a bit suspicious.
No matter how close a friend asks, Cha Moo-sik, his son, is more thoughtful than what he does.
So, if Seo Eun-woo asked him to hold a press conference on a fairly large scale, he would of course refuse.
Then why…… ?
Suddenly having such a question, Moonho Cha looked at his son’s expression.
Despite hearing the rejection, Mu-sik Cha still had a confident face.
“Father. Anyway, we received an offer from Seo Eun-woo that we could never refuse.”
“What is that…… “
Cha Mu-sik slowly explained the situation to his father, and Cha Moon-ho had no choice but to understand the moment the name was mentioned in his son’s mouth.
