140 – Challenge (5)
Lee Da-hye hasn’t been in a very good mood since yesterday.
The head of her own agency was very firm in limiting her film appearances.
In fact, she somewhat expected that would happen.
As her representative said, her main job is being an idol, not an actress.
It hasn’t even been that long since she made her comeback, so it makes sense that she should pay more attention to Hongryeon’s business at this point.
‘She originally planned to give up without hesitation… ….’
Lee Da-hye smiled her bitter smile.
She harmed her group in many ways due to her stalker incident.
That’s why she was thinking of giving up, even though it was a little disappointing, to appear in what would soon become the best movie her boyfriend would produce.
But the moment she read the movie script, her thoughts changed a little.
Seo Eun-woo said that day that he was practicing acting, and at the same time, he showed Lee Da-hye and Seol So-young the script for the movie he was going to make, ‘Summer Without You’ for the first time.
And Lee Da-hye was able to intuit it.
Perhaps she is the one who is more suitable for the heroine of the movie he portrayed…… ? Called.
Of course, it may be due to my mood, or it may be a thought born from a bit of greed.
However, before Seo Eun-woo’s summer vacation began, he had given him some explanation about the movie.
He said this with a clearly vague expression.
It will be a slightly adapted story of ‘our’ story.
Reading the script while remembering those words and Seo Eun-woo’s face at that time, Lee Da-hye was able to immediately understand what he wanted to convey to people through this movie.
Maybe……
‘It won’t be very enjoyable content.’
However, when people watch movies, they do not only pursue the feeling of pleasure.
In that sense, Seo Eun-woo’s work will be very popular again.
Of course, he swears that he never wanted to play the female protagonist just because the work was successful.
I was just drawn to the female protagonist who seemed to resemble me a lot.
I’m sure Soyoung is thinking the same thing about this.
Anyway, this is of no particular use now.
Because the CEO is completely opposed to my appearance in the movie.
Yes. I fully understand.
Your schedule is going to be very busy right now and in the future. On top of that, you’re also shooting a movie at the same time?
That would literally mean overusing one’s body.
However, Dahye Lee was very disappointed about that fact, and she also felt a little sorry that she was getting angry at the strict CEO for no reason.
“Dahye!”
“Yes, yes?!”
At that time, someone grabbed both of Lee Da-hye’s shoulders.
It was ‘Gaeul’, a member of Hongryeon and a sub vocalist.
Gaeul opened her mouth with a slightly worried look in her eyes.
“Our youngest, why is your expression so dark? “Did your boyfriend do something wrong to you?”
“Um… “That’s not it.”
“Really? “If it had been the correct answer, I would have gone to you right away and slapped you in the face, but it’s a shame.”
“Sister, I don’t like that. “You were joking, right?”
“Well, of course it is!”
Gaeul was startled when she saw the youngest’s kind smile.
If I had said that I was sincere, anyone would have been willing to bite me.
He was clearly the youngest member who was infinitely kind and warm to the members, including himself…….
It felt like priorities changed very easily.
“Anyway, let’s move now.”
Lee Da-hye nodded her head.
After the short performance and Q&A, Hongryeon’s fan meeting scheduled for today was now at its end, with only the fan signing event left.
“Hello~”
Lee Da-hye arrived at her fan signing venue and started communicating with her fans, one desk away from her.
The dark expression from earlier disappeared completely, replaced only by a bright smile.
This is because she did not want to think about other things and just focus on this moment when she was face to face with her precious fan.
Of course, Da-hye Lee also had a somewhat unfortunate incident involving her fan.
Although the incident was serious enough to leave her with trauma, she knew that not all fans in the world were like that, so Da-hye Lee was still happy to meet her fans.
However, after that incident, she decided not to receive gifts from fans.
It is definitely something to be thankful for, but sometimes it may contain impure intentions.
No matter how bright and positive Lee Da-hye was, she was not able to overcome everything that happened to her that day.
Because of this, even in her fan meeting notice, the part related to Lee Da-hye’s gift was written as a cautionary note.
Her fans also knew about Lee Da-hye’s situation, so she moved on with a slightly sad heart.
“Huh… I’m tired.”
“I hope you give me more vacation this time.”

Anyway, the fan signing event lasted for about an hour, and the members of Hongryeon, who had finished their schedule, were all sitting on chairs at the fan signing venue, exhausted.
The reason they stayed at the fan signing event instead of going back to the waiting room was so that they could get into the car through the main gate of the venue and return to JYB.
But.
“That… Dahye. “I’m sorry, but could you please deal with me just one more time?”
“Now?”
“Yes. “I’m a fan of yours, but you’ve arrived now due to personal reasons.”
Hongryun’s manager Oh Gyu-min urgently delivered the news to Lee Da-hye with a slightly restless look in his eyes.
It shouldn’t have happened since all fan meeting schedules were over, but it seems like it was a really sad story to see Oh Gyu-min say it like that.
“Yes. Does not matter.”
Because of this, Da-hye Lee readily allowed her to meet, and Gyu-min Oh sent her OK signal to a dark square where she could not be seen.
Soon, the person who was covering her face with a bouquet of yellow flowers entered the signing venue and slowly walked in front of Lee Da-hye.
When Lee Da-hye first saw that appearance, her first thought was curiosity.
What is the purpose of that bouquet?
I think it’s probably a gift to give to yourself…….
But the problem was that it was a bouquet of flowers.
The gift I received from my stalker at that time was a bouquet of white roses.
Because it was announced in advance, there was no way that his fans would not have known about it.
So originally, I should have felt discomfort or fear, but for some reason, I didn’t feel those feelings at all.
Rather, Lee Da-hye was feeling a feeling of ‘excitement.’
Because I knew that the bouquet was not given from a fan’s perspective.
Now I understand why my manager Oh Gyu-min asked me such a request with restless eyes.
At that time, a person, or rather a man, approached Da-hye Lee and opened her mouth first, holding out her bouquet of flowers.
“I bought it because it looked pretty on the way. “She’s Da-hye Lee. I think she gets along well with people.”
“… ….”
Is it because it was the fan meeting site? ….
Lee Da-hye received the bouquet of flowers handed to her with a faint smile at the man’s unfamiliar politeness.
She then looked lovingly at the bouquet of yellow flowers, the same color as her hair, and she slowly opened her mouth.
“Thank you. “By any chance, what is the name of the flower?”
“Marigold. And the flower shop owner even kindly taught me the language of flowers. Happiness that must come…… “That’s it.”
“Wow, then you must work hard in the future to make sure I am happy.”
The man, or rather Seo Eun-woo, who heard Lee Da-hye’s meaningful words smiled bitterly at her.
“It will be so.”
With words full of confidence…….
***
Rather than a welcome, it was actually more of a surprise.
So I bought a bouquet of flowers to be a little romantic.
“hehehe.”
Of course, from her fan signing event until she arrived at JYB……
As I continued to look at the bouquet of flowers I gave her as a gift and saw her sincerely liking Da-hye Lee, I smiled a little bitterly.
Seeing her like it so much, I should have given it to her a long time ago.
“Is it that good?”
“Yes! “I’m going to go to the dormitory and decorate it.”
“…… I’m sorry about something. I’m a bit dull in this respect. “It’s my first time dating.”
“Then I guess I’m the first to give flowers to a woman?”
“Yes. “Of course, if you exclude my mother.”
“Of course, my mother is an exception.”
Lee Da-hye laughed out loud at my answer, and when she calmed down a little, she asked what she was curious about.
“But why did you suddenly come to JYB?”
“Uh… “You want to see me?”
“Aha. The CEO sent you an SOS signal? “Please comfort me.”
Write… ….
What is it?
Why are there so many people around me who have such good senses?
Or did I say or do something so conspicuous?
I think that’s probably not the case.
Anyway, I suddenly began to have an ominous feeling that if I did something wrong in any way, I would be caught right away.
In that sense, I probably won’t do that, but I think the moment the wind blows, I’ll go straight to the goal.
“Ah, the movie thing is okay now. “Thanks to you, I received a nice gift.”
At that time, Lee Da-hye smiled and said.
They say it’s okay, but it seems like it’s disappointing.
For her sake, I made a suggestion to her.
“Are you asking me to sing the theme song? Really?”
“Why would I lie to you?”
Lee Da-hye opens her eyes wide as if she is a little surprised.
She went to Hongryeon’s fan meeting with CEO Baek Joon-young and talked about quite a few things.
She asked who she thought would sing the theme song, and I chose Lee Da-hye.
It was not simply a choice to relieve anger, but purely for artistic value.
Just like when she sang Smile at the Korea Youth Theater Festival, she was confident that she would exceed her expectations.
“CEO Baek Jun-young also agreed because recording would be able to be completed faster than filming. So what is the answer?”
“I love it!”
Lee Da-hye nodded her head without any hesitation, and fortunately, she seemed to have relaxed a lot.
And two days after that……
“It’s been a while. “To have a conversation with the author here.”
“I see. Anyway, let’s put aside our sentiments and start talking about something constructive.”
I visited Studio N Mix’s headquarters.
In other words, it was time to move on to the production stage in earnest.
