CEO Kim, who looked into the mirror with a satisfied expression, gasped.

“What the hell is this?”

When he found a deep crease under his eyes, he soon clicked his tongue. He’d been proud that he was not inferior to active actors in terms of skin.

Not long ago, he received a doctor’s recommendation to take care of his stomach because it was rumbling during a health checkup. Manager Cha, who was next to him, said, “Stop drinking and smoking,” and then shook his head, saying, “No.” He was a comrade who knew better than anyone what the cause of alcohol and tobacco consumption was.

Damn this fucker.

CEO Kim gritted his teeth and turned his face around. Soon, he canceled his schedule for the afternoon and vowed to make a reservation for an aesthetician right away.

“CEO…”

Surprised by the low voice, CEO Kim jumped up and down

He screamed.

“Oh my gosh, you scared me.”

When he looked back, Choi Inseop looked pale and gestured him to please be quiet.

“Hey. Why are you sneaking in and scaring people?”

“I’m sorry.”

Inseop bowed his head and apologized.

“But why all of a sudden?”

It was definitely five minutes ago that he left with Lee Wooyeon.

“I left something and came up. Wooyeon is waiting downstairs. I need to talk to you about something.”

“You could’ve called me.”

“I have something to tell you.”

Even though there were separate cubicles in the bathroom, Inseop’s voice remained as low as possible. Looking back, he seemed to be nervous, Lee Wooyeon seemed to have come up. CEO Kim, who could guess the reason, sighed and beckoned to speak.

“Well, that thing from before,”

Inseop cautiously brought it up.

“I’m fine.”

“What?”

“I don’t need insurance. Since I’m a foreigner, employment insurance is a hassle. I fully understand… ”

While working as a celebrity agency, CEO Kim met numerous people, but he has not seen anyone with eyes as Choi Inseop. Inseop’s eyes were as white and clear as a child to the extent that no blood vessels were visible in the white. Perhaps that’s why when Inseop spoke with his eyes wide open, he always felt like a bad adult.

“Please. Please hire me without insurance.”

At Choi Inseop’s plea, CEO Kim was briefly speechless. With difficulty, he pulled himself together and said.

“I think you misheard Inseop, but what he said earlier…”

“I heard it well earlier.”

Inseop replied with a determined look.

Where should he start? CEO Kim frowned. Lee Wooyeon, it was intimidation that the bloody fucker talked about manager employment insurance. Hiring anyone by himself would be a terrible disaster.

“I’m fine without insurance.”

“No, I’d be in trouble if I hired you without insurance.”

“No, I’ll drive safely.”

He looked serious as if safe driving was his lifelong goal.

“Lee Wooyeon didn’t ask for your employment insurance…”

CEO Kim sighed.

It was when Inseop, who went to the U.S., returned to Korea, that he found the relationship between Lee Wooyeon and Inseop strange.

Lee Wooyeon spent almost all of his time with Choi Inseop after the day. As soon as the drama he was filming ended, he even bought a plane ticket to the Maldives and went on a 15-day vacation with Inseop.

At this time, CEO Kim did not give up, saying, “No way.” No, he couldn’t. He didn’t want to face reality even with the physical evidence accumulated as high as Mt. Everest in front of him. Manager Cha also said nothing. Both of them turned a blind eye to the reality, thinking that a man like Lee Wooyeon could not form a serious relationship. The end of the mental triumph came more quickly than expected.

After the listing, the company grew rapidly and expanded its business area by recruiting models and singers. CEO Kim was a person who was generous enough to share joy with people around him. He gave bonuses to all employees and rented a ton of luxury resorts in Jeju Island and even gave the employees a trip. CEO Kim decided to leave after showing his face for a while that evening, saying that he could not enjoy it properly if they had their boss around. If he hadn’t found Lee Wooyeon among people, he would have done so as planned.

‘Why was he here?’

When CEO Kim was surprised, Lee Wooyeon smiled silently and pointed at Choi Inseop with a wink.

Manager Cha, who invited Inseop, saying he called Inseop because he also worked hard, was drinking soju alone in the corner.

Lee Wooyeon didn’t do anything special. He just sat on the sofa drinking and talking to people from time to time. The problem was his gaze. According to Manager Cha’s words, Lee Wooyeon, the world’s greatest motherfucker, was looking at Choi Inseop with warm eyes.

Lee Wooyeon was an actor with excellent acting skills. He was a man who had no difficulty and no qualms in pretending to be kind.

However, Kim found out instinctively. The fact that those eyes weren’t made up.

…he didn’t think so. It’s impossible. It’s just him.He just had to go and have a cup of vodka and forget everything he saw and heard here today.

The moment CEO Kim decided to turn around.

‘Don’t drink too much. Your face turned red.’

CEO Kim’s eyes shook helplessly as he looked at Lee Wooyeon, who patted Inseop’s burning face with the back of his hand. It was the same with Manager Cha in the corner.

CEO Kim trudged to Manager Cha’s side with a bottle of alcohol. He didn’t want to be a boss who was tactless and senseless, but he couldn’t help it. It was hard to leave Lee Wooyeon and Choi Inseop here. CEO Kim crouched next to Manager Cha and began to sip alcohol together

After coming to their senses, they saw the employees scattered around the room. Manager Cha nagged CEO Kim to go to bed. CEO Kim muttered with a pale face that he felt like throwing up. Manager Cha quickly took him to the bathroom connected to the big room. Manager Cha asked, patting CEO Kim on the back, who looked sick.

‘Did you throw up?’

CEO Kim answered yes, after raising his head. After rinsing his mouth, CEO Kim sighed. There was silence in the bathroom. Neither of them was able to say anything. The first who spoke was Manager Cha.

‘That,? Lee Wooyeon…’

But he stopped midway. He heard the sound of someone entering the room. It was human instinct to want to talk about new information one just heard. Therefore, the most important person to not leak this information to was none other than a company employee. CEO Kim gestured to Manager Cha to be quiet. He tried to take the opportunity to go out slowly. If only he hadn’t heard that voice.

‘Are you okay?’

It was Lee Wooyeon.

CEO Kim and Manager Cha looked at each other with their eyes wide open at the same time.

‘I’m okay.’

Choi Inseop answered, slurring his words.

‘I told you not to drink too much, right?’

‘I waz nerbous…!’

Lee Wooyeon’s light laughter could be heard in a short answer. CEO Kim rubbed his forearm with his opposite hand. Manager Cha also frowned.

‘Do you know that you get cuter when you drink?’

‘I don’t know.’

Lee Wooyeon’s laughter followed. He couldn’t listen any more. The two in the bathroom exchanged a look to get out. But this time,they missed that opportunity.

Click-

They could hear the door lock. They had an ominous feeling.

‘Inseop, come here.’

The lines were also ominous. The following sounds were even more terrible. The sound of kissing, the sound of heavy breaths, the sound of a shirt falling to the ground.

The most frightening thing was, what?

‘Inseop, can I suck your nipples? Haa… fuck, do you know how exciting it is?’

Both of them were familiar with the fact that Lee Wooyeon’s mouth was vulgar. But they learned for the first time today that the dirty mouth gets dirtier on the bed. The color faded from their faces.

‘It’s okay. I won’t put it in here. So don’t cry. I know that a bastard who is attracted to your crying face. Haa, spread your legs. I want to stroke your dick.’.

The two had to squat in the bathroom and listen to the ensuing feast of dirty talk.

What sins did he commit in his previous life to receive such punishment, how can a person be so vulgar, why did that crazy son of a bitch Lee Wooyeon look like that…he was scared.

How long has it been? The sound of a conversation was heard, and soon the sound of footsteps got closer. The bathroom door opened. Two middle-aged men, who were slightly over their mid-40s, looked up in surprise like children who were caught doing something bad. They made eye contact with Lee Wooyeon, who wore only a boxer shorts. Lee Wooyeon, who said he worked out especially hard these days, smiled with a perfect body that made him feel ashamed that they were both men.

‘What is it?’

Lee Wooyeon answered Inseop’s question from the bathroom, saying, “It’s nothing.” CEO Kim and Manger Cha looked up at Lee Wooyeon frozen in place.

Shh.

He whispered lowly, with his elegant and beautiful fingers on his lips. Kim and Cha inadvertently forgot the stupid situation they were in because of the polite smile that not only viewers but also the other actresses were dying to see.

‘I think the bathroom here is broken, so I’ll get some water from the one over there.’

Lee Wooyeon said so to Inseop, and opened the bathroom door. Only after confirming that the men were going out of the room did the two men get out of the bathroom. The two moved to the next hotel and drank for two days and one night. They could no longer turn a blind eye to reality.

“Then what did you mean by that?”

CEO Kim quickly escaped from the recollection when asked by Choi Inseop.

“Inseob=p-ah. No, Mr Choi Inseop.”

CEO Kim called Choi Inseop in a serious voice. Inseop opened his eyes wide and answered yes to the fact his tone calling him had changed.

“Why on earth do you want to be Lee Wooyeon’s manager? Is it because you need money? Then I’ll find you another part-time job, several times, or tens of times more convenient. Pay will be fine.”

A few days after that, Lee Wooyeon visited CEO Kim’s house. CEO Kim removed his favorite whiskey. It was with the idea of taking this opportunity to talk candidly. But the story went in a completely unexpected direction.

‘I don’t mind being revealed. You can quit your job. CEO has earned enough. Don’t you think so?’

He said those creepy words so lightheartedly, he had goosebumps. It was not an attitude that the person who heard the most private and intimate scene could see.There was no shame, embarrassment, or even anger that humans should have. As if it were someone else’s business, Lee Wooyeon was calm.

This guy, he’s a lot crazier than he expected. CEO Kim broke out in a cold sweat and asked what he would do in the future.

‘What do you mean what should you do? Is there anything different?’

Ah, this damned son of a bitch. How many times did he hear such vulgar words that day? He wanted compensation for his ears! He wanted his mental health back!

CEO Kim barely endured the urge to shout so loudly.

‘…Are you going to stop working?’

Lee Wooyeon laughed and took a sip of alcohol.

Not long ago, a liquor advertisement shot by Lee Wooyeon was an unprecedented hit. It was worth it. The shape and posture of the hand holding the glass, and the expression of swallowing alcohol were indescribably wonderful.

CEO Kim cursed at God for giving such a look to such a jerk.

‘Why?’

‘You said it doesn’t matter if you quit’

‘I said doesn’t matter, who’s quitting?’

CEO Kim glanced at the whiskey bottle. Even if he had a little less home education, he’d hit him in the head with this.

CEO Kim, who was grinding his teeth, asked why he came.

‘It doesn’t matter to me, but I think it’ll matter to Inseop.’’

“.… “

‘I’m sure he cares, he thinks it’s a nuisance, he’s intimidated, he cares.’

He didn’t know if he thought of something, but he slowly swallowed a laugh with his eyes curved.

‘That’s not bad either.’

Muttering to himself, Lee Wooyeon tapped the crystal glass with his long fingers. Then, as if determined, he raised his head.

‘So pretend you don’t know.’

‘…’

‘Because I don’t want him to cry outside the bed.’

Unlike him, he has nothing to lose. No, there’s one. He can’t guarantee what will happen to him if one of them goes down.

Lee Wooyeon emptied the glass at once and stood up.

‘Please say hello to the manager, too.’

It meant that he also wanted Manager Cha to know. When CEO Kim’s answer didn’t come back, Lee Wooyeon asked him again if he understood.. With that smile in his eyes, he threw the most elegant and creepy threat in the world and disappeared.

a true son of a bitch.

It was a word that Manager Cha uttered when he heard the story.

“I’m saying this because it’s just us, but it’s not easy to be Lee Wooyeon’s manager.”

CEO Kim put his hand on Choi Inseop’s shoulder and continued with a serious look.

“Think about it. You two are special, no, I know you’re close, but it’s a different matter.”

“I know. But I still want to do it.

“Why the hell?”

CEO Kim screamed without realizing it. He really wanted to ask. No matter how well he said he was on the outside, he was a rotten human being. There was no way that Inseop didn’t know that fact. No, it was clear that he knew better than anyone else.

“I’m sorry I screamed, but this really isn’t it.”

It was a word with many meanings. Inseop, no matter how good the rice cake looks, you don’t have to eat anything.

“I know that Lee Wooyeon’s personality is different from ordinary people.”

“…”

It was not enough to say that it was different from ordinary people. Lee Wooyeon was a man who would not be accepted even in hell.

“So I want to be next to him. I know that. But when he’s with us, Wooyeon talks freely. It’s nice to see.”

“… Do you like being cursed at?”

“Oh, no. I’m not saying that it’s good to curse. I mean… “

Inseop stuttered and continued to talk with a red face.

“He’ll have to spend a long time with his manager, so I’d like to make him feel at least a little comfortable.That’s why. I’m sorry.”

CEO Kim recalled what Manager Cha had said as a habit while looking at Lee Wooyeon.

‘Is it necessary for your personality to be so identical to a dog?’’

At this moment, similar but different words crossed his mind.

People don’t have to be this good.

CEO Kim felt indescribable.

“You are, therefore, too nice to handle Lee Wooyeon.”

“No, I’m not that nice. I’m telling you, I’m bad, too.”

As soon as he saw Inseop claiming his weakness, which was not even there, because he wanted to provide Lee Wooyeon with a comfortable time, CEO Kim’s hotness soared to his throat. How did that happen?

Then, the thought of ‘maybe’ crossed his mind.

“Inseop, you can be honest with me. Got it?”

“What? I understand.”

“By any chance, you.”

CEO Kim spoke as carefully as possible.

“Are you being threatened by Lee Wooyeon?”

“No! Not at all. It’s definitely not like that.”

Inseop jumped up and strongly denied it. Perhaps that was not enough, Choi Inseop began to defend Lee Wooyeon diligently.

“Lee Wooyeon is not that kind of person. It’s just that he’s a bit harsh and has a firm personality, but he doesn’t threaten or force me.”

…In that short moment, CEO Kim’s mind was filled with Lee Wooyeon’s hideous coercion made to Inseop

“Yes, he wouldn’t be here without you… But just in case, if Lee Wooyeon does something to you that you shouldn’t do as a human being, don’t hesitate to tell me or Cha. All right?”

The answer came from the wrong person.

“What do you mean you shouldn’t do it as a human being?”

Inseop gasped and CEO Kim hardened on the spot. Lee Wooyeon stood smiling with his arms crossed.

“Uh, since when have you been there?”

“I heard that the meticulous Inseop left something important behind, so I came up because I was so curious about what it was.”

Inseop’s head slowly started to bow. Lee Wooyeon smiled and asked CEO Kim.

“But what is it that humans shouldn’t do?”

“… Why don’t you know?”

“Yes. I really don’t know,”

Lee Wooyeon replied naturally.

“It’s hard to tell, I can’t tell the difference.”

God. What the hell did he sign up for?

CEO Kim answered as calmly as possible, sighing inside.

“Murder, arson, looting, rape, and so on. Punishment by law.”

“Ah.”

Lee Wooyeon squinted his eyes and nodded.He answered that he doesn’t do stuff like that.

“That’s a relief.”

But he had minimal conscience as a human being.

“I tried it, but it was annoying. I have to get rid of the evidence.”

“…”

“…”

“Hahaha. I’m just kidding.”

No one laughed along.

“Then have you shared everything you have to say?”

Inseob apologized to Lee Wooyeon’s question.

“What are you sorry about?”

“…I lied to Lee Wooyeon.”

Instead of answering, Lee Wooyeon ruffled Inseop’s hair. The naivety of believing that the other person was deceived by a terrible lie was so cute that he didn’t know what to do.

CEO Kim, who was watching the scene, coughed in vain and gave Lee Wooyeon a look. Lee Wooyeon mouthed what.

That dog won’t bite.

CEO Kim clenched his teeth and sighed.

“Inseop, can you really do it?”

“Yes, I can.”

CEO Kim almost gave up his request.

“Instead of Inseop helping you with your work, there’s something I want you both to know.”

“What is it?”

“What is it?”

Two people asked the same question at the same time.

“Lee Wooyeon, stay quiet and good. That’s how your time in this industry should be. Stars should shine, but it’s not good to stand out too much. You understand, Lee Wooyeon?”

“I don’t know.”

Lee Wooyeon replied with a cheeky smile.

“Lee Wooyeon, public opinion is not as favorable as before. Now, malicious comments are coming up.”

“Some idiot is paying attention to malicious comments.”

Recently, CEO Kim had felt a serious urge to write malicious comments on Lee Wooyeon’s article. One day, he logged into a portal site and found himself writing all kinds of swear words and openly confessed his worries to Manager Cha. ‘Why don’t we go to a psychiatric hospital and get counseling?’ CEO Cha replied? asking what nonsense that was. If he went to the hospital with that, he’ll be locked up.

Half of the malicious comments were coming out.

“CEO, don’t worry about that either. Think about your age. Then, we’ll be leaving.”

Ah, not surprisingly, he wanted to write malicious comments.

CEO Kim continued to talk, sticking his itchy finger in his pocket.

“Even if it’s not, it’s not good to stand out because of what happened before.”

When Inseop was stabbed and taken to the hospital, a panicked Lee Wooyeon cut his wrist and made a fuss. The agency did its best to turn the terrible incident into a beautiful story, saying it was caused by guilt and sadness for not saving the injured manager instead of him. It was fortunate that the incident of that day did not exist in the video. Of course, some of the still persistent opponents mentioned it at once and made Lee Wooyeon out to be a crazy psychopath.

CEO Kim also fully agreed with the opinion, but it was also an incident that he did not want to rise to the surface for the company as much as possible.

“CEO, may I ask you a question?”

“What is it?”

When asked by Lee Wooyeon, CEO Kim’s back was filled with sweat, but he tried to pretend to be normal.

“Have I ever been as easy as I am these days in the eyes of the CEO?”

There was a hidden meaning in the question asked with a smile. He couldn’t refute it. Lee Wooyeon was growing better than before. Not only the acting but also the body was perfectly trimmed. Thanks to this, his broad shoulders were already more prominent, and for a while, a collection of humiliating photos of male celebrities standing next to Lee Wooyeon spread like a trend. In addition, there were no changing managers or changing women. From the agency’s point of view, it was such a great thing that it was too much to express as normal.

“Don’t you think so?”

Lee Wooyeon asked again. CEO Kim murmured at the end of his words.

“Don’t worry.”

Choi Inseop quickly intervened in the conversation.

“My presence is faint and ordinary, so I won’t stand out. So it’s okay.”

“Right, Inseop, he’s like that too… So, the two of you… “

CEO Kim looked at this side and swallowed his breath without realizing it. It reminded him of an old story of when he made eye contact with a tiger in the mountain, he was possessed by its eyes and was dying from anxiety.

If he really kept raising him, he wouldn’t be able to stay alive.

CEO Kim rubbed his wet hands in his pocket. Choi Inseop opened his eyes wide and waited for CEO Kim’s next words.

“I know you’re close because you’re each other’s lifesavers, but it’s too much, haha. It makes sense even if the manager and the celebrity look too close, just like a business relationship. Like me and Cha.”

CEO Kim, who spends seven days a week with Cha, looked serious.

“Yes! I see.”

Inseop nodded with his eyes twinkling. For Choi Inseop, the relationship between CEO Kim and Manager Cha was an object of envy. Lee Wooyeon, who was standing next to him, smiled, slightly looking around.

“Be like a married couple?”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

“Honestly, the CEO and the manager didn’t have sex, isn’t it like a married couple? No, they don’t have sex if they’re that old, so they’re a proper couple.”

“Hey! This! You!

CEO Kim sighed while making a noise.

“Ha, can you handle such a guy, Inseop?”

It was a sincere question.

“I can handle it. I can do it enough.”

Inseop quickly continued.

“I fully understand what the CEO is worried about. As you said earlier, I’ll work as a firm, strict, professional, and business manager as much as I can.”

“Yes, please… I don’t know if it’s possible.”

“If you’re done with your valuable request, we’ll go.”

Lee Wooyeon said, putting his hand on Choi Inseop’s shoulder.

“Something like that!”

CEO Kim pointed at him, saying that’s exactly what he was saying. With a surprised expression, Inseop looked back.

“That kind of touch. Don’t. It’s weird. It’s not normal. It stands out.”

Choi Inseop replied, putting down Lee Wooyeon’s arm as if shaking. Lee Wooyeon’s smile in his eyes became stronger.

“Ordinary, cold, strict…Safety. You know, right? Keep that in mind!”

Kim asked Inseop again. Only after confirming that Inseop, who had been nodding his head hard, was caught by Lee Wooyeon and disappeared over the corner, CEO Kim sighed.
