Even as he took off his shoes, Choi Inseop was frozen like a student who had been scolded and did not know what to do. After hearing Lee Wooyeon’s words to take a shower and change clothes at his house, Choi Inseop turned white on the spot. Seeing that he did not refuse even though he was bewildered and embarrassed by not knowing where to put himself, Lee Wooyeon thought that the manager must be his big fan.
After showering first in the shower room attached to the bedroom, Lee Wooyeon poured coffee and waited for Choi Inseop to come out. It was not his personality to give his bathroom to the manager, but it was a decision he made because returning the manager who had been baptized with coffee was not the way of the beloved actor Lee Woo-yeon.
As he drank freshly brewed coffee and thought that the new manager had a long shower time for a man, he heard the doorbell.
When he checked the screen of the intercom, it was Yoo Minju, whom he had met several times before and had a drink with. When he found out that she lived in the same complex, Lee Wooyeon regretted having slept with her. As he expected, Yoo Minjoo would come out of the blue several times afterwards to talk about unpleasant things and eat or sleep..
Although most of them were consistently ignored, Lee Wooyeon wanted to talk clearly today. Since they both have celebrity status, he was going to gently say that they should refrain.
The moment he opened the front door, Lee Wooyeon realized that he had taken the wrong timing to say that.
“What? Were you at home?”
“…”
Every time Yoo Minju, who was drunk, spoke, a terrible smell came out. When Lee Wooyeon said, “You’re drunk,” she asked, rolling her eyes.
“Yes. I am drunk, what more do you want to add?”
“You’re very drunk.”
“Hmph. But you’re still at home today and not pretending like you’re not there, Mr. Lee Wooyeon.”
“…”
“Last time I saw, the house was definitely lit. Why didn’t you answer when I rang the bell?”
“I guess I couldn’t hear because I was listening to music. I’m sorry.”
There was no lie in saying that he couldn’t hear because he was listening to music. The moment Yoo Minju started to ring the doorbell, Lee Wooyeon put on headphones and turned up the audio volume.
“What’s up?”
“Why? What’s wrong with me coming? Can’t I come over?”
Having said that, she looked up and saw the wine bottle he was holding.
“Let’s have a drink together.”
“I have a schedule tomorrow morning, so we can’t drink.”
“Who doesn’t have a schedule for tomorrow?”
It was reckless. Although the owner of the house expressed his refusal, she entered the house recklessly. Because he ignored her several times, her self-esteem was seriously damaged, and she seemed to have made up her mind today. She rummaged through the chest of drawers as if it was her own kitchen and found a wine opener. Yoo Minju, who took the cork off without stoppig, started looking for wine glasses this time.
“Miss Minju, please return today. Next time…”
“Next time? You ignored all my calls! Is it because you have a different girlfriend besides me…”
Minju, who was talking, stopped and looked towards the bathroom. Her expression hardened at the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
“It’s the manager.” Lee Wooyeon said.
“Manager? Ha,”
She shouted as she drank the whole bottle of wine she was carrying.
“Do not be ridiculous. Do you think I would believe that?”
Lee Wooyeon quietly closed the door. It’s because he doesn’t know what to say to a woman who’s out of her mind and even drinks.
“Who is it? Let me see her face.”
“It’s the manager.”
“Really, it’s not even funny. Kang Sohyun? Is it her? Aren’t there rumors that you are eating with her these days? Or is it Lee Junghwa?”
“You seem to be very drunk, so please stop and go back today.”
And the moment he was about to tell her to never come again, she started running towards the bathroom.
“What are you doing?”
“Let’s see what kind of girl she is. Who is the woman who takes a bath naked in Lee Wooyeon’s bathroom…!”
She opened the bathroom door and pushed it back. Choi Inseop, who was standing under the shower, turned around in surprise. Lee Wooyeon pulled Yoo Minju back. Choi Inseop’s body caught the eyes of Lee Wooyeon, who raised his head to say sorry before closing the door. He closed the bathroom door without saying a word.
Yoo Minju, who confirmed with her own eyes that the person inside was a man, continued with a muttering.
“Oh, he was a real manager. I again…, well, I’m sorry. Tell the manager later. Of course, this time, of course, you will make it a no-brainer, right?”
“Of course.”
Lee Wooyeon smiled and grabbed her wrist and led her to the front door. He spoke politely, but his demeanor was not.
“It has to be something that never happened. of course.”
“Okay. Then again later…”
Opening the front door, Lee Wooyeon pushed her. Because of Lee Wooyeon, who still had a friendly smile, Yoo Minju did not even realize that she was being kicked out without even wearing shoes.
“It never happened. Miss Minju.”
“…Ah, I… ”
Lee Wooyeon added a word as he kicked her shoes that were near his feet.
“So, goodbye.”
After the door closed, a nervous woman’s voice was heard outside, but Lee Wooyeon didn’t care. After a while, Choi Inseop came out after taking a shower. His face was red from embarrassment because of the sudden event.
“Sorry. She was drunk and I stopped her, but she didn’t listen.”
“No. I’m fine…Did she go?”
Choi Inseop looked around the house and asked. He had just come out of the shower, so his face was red and it looked like he was about to cry if he tapped it.
“Yes. I just sent her.”
“…Okay.”
Surprisingly, Choi Inseop’s shoulders were filled with water that had not been wiped off. Lee Wooyeon brought a towel and held it out.
“Wipe it.”
“Ah. Sorry.”
Choi Inseop, holding the towel, fell on the floor and started wiping off the water. Lee Wooyeon could not continue to speak looking at the absurdity.
“…No, I was telling you to dry your hair.”
“Ah, this, this.”
Choi Inseop’s face turned red even more. He got up and wiped his head with the towel he had been mopping the floor with.
At this point, Lee Wooyeon thought that it would be difficult to tell whether a person is a fool or a good person. He took out another new towel and handed it to Choi Inseop. There was no conversation between the two of them.
Lee Woo-yeon was not in a good mood because of Yoo Minju’s intrusion, so he was not in the mood to pretend to be kind and considerate, and Choi Inseop was embarrassed and didn’t know what to say. Choi In-eop, who thoroughly wiped the moisture from his hair while standing, spoke first.
“I will go first.”
“Yes. Today, somehow I feel like I’m just causing trouble.”
“No. Never mind.”
“Forget what happened today.”
Choi Inseop wasn’t so tactless that he didn’t know exactly what he was saying.
“Yes. I will.”
“Don’t even tell Mr. Kim. He must have a lot of work, so I don’t want to worry him for nothing.”
If CEO Kim knew about this, it was clear that he would run with foam in his mouth. How the hell do you deal with women’s issues so that something like that doesn’t happen?
Just imagining it was terrifying. Lee Wooyeon was a representative actor of JN. It doesn’t matter if it’s a moderate scandal, but it wasn’t for him, no matter how selfish a person he was, to decorate the front page of a daily newspaper with something like this.
“Yes. All right.”
Like a gentle dog that listens well, Choi Inseop nodded and answered. Lee Wooyeon didn’t like people with a light mouth either.
“… pack it up fast and leave.”
“Yes?”
“No. May I call you a taxi?”
It may have sounded like friendly consideration, but it was a clear message. Choi Inseop waved his hand saying it was okay, packed his belongings and went outside.
“You’re too quick.”
The more he thought about it, the more he could not help but be a customized manager for himself.
It was almost impossible to find someone who was quiet, devoted, quick-witted, and had a tight lip and was sincere. Yes, it would be three months, but he thought he could handle it well in the meantime.
“Where did they bring that from?”
Even the timely arrival right after manager Kim left was perfect. In Lee Wooyeon’s mind, while thinking such a thought, the body of Choi In-seop he saw when Yoo Minjoo opened the bathroom door came to mind. The bathroom was filled with water vapor, so the drunken Yoo Minju seemed to have only seen the fact that the nude person was a man. However, the scar left on Choi Inseop’s chest was clearly visible in Lee Wooyeon’s eyes, which boasts a nearly 2.0 visual. Even after seeing it, Lee Wooyeon didn’t ask anything. What kind of past the gentle-faced manager had was not important right now.
Lee Wooyeon looked at the label of the wine that Yoo Minju was carrying and spilled the wine into the sink without hesitation.
