Chapter 31 – Extra Offer ①
^-^
A building in Seoul, with a clean and modern interior decorated with glass windows offering a great view of the outside, was the representative office of Top Entertainment.
There was a person sitting in a luxurious chair in front of the glass.
The identity of the person who seemed to be lost in thought as she turned her chair round and round was Jung Hana, the CEO of Top Entertainment.
“Hmm…”
Jeong Hana was currently in trouble.
It was because Oh Seong-min, a popular actor belonging to Top Entertainment, asked for an extra to be sent during the filming.
He’s a very popular actor, and it wasn’t too difficult to find an extra in the top entertainment industry, so he gladly gave permission…
“Isn’t there someone like that that just comes to mind?”
Until now, there was no such person who gave the feeling of ‘Ah, this is the person’ in Jung Ha-na’s eyes.
There are so many kids at Top Entertainment that they would do it just by talking, but considering actor Oh Seong-min’s ransom and the popularity of the drama he’s currently filming, it was impossible to send halfway kids.
Back then when I was still twirling my chair and lost in thought.
Smart.
“Come in.”
The door to the representative office opened softly, and a beautiful woman in a neat business suit entered.
Her name is Kang Kang-woo, and she was the only assistant to Jeong Hana, CEO of Top Entertainment.
“Now it’s time for a meal appointment.”
“Yes. I have to eat and live.”
Kang Yeon-woo told her about the upcoming schedule, and Jung Ha-na stopped spinning her chair at the secretary’s words and stood up.
Kang Yeon-woo, who was following Jeong Ha-na outside the representative office, said.
“CEO, I’m asking if I can have one more person at dinner tonight.”
“One more? Who?”
“It is said to be your younger brother.”
“Brother? Yes. Tell them it’s okay. The more people to eat with, the better.”
“All right.”
He’s my brother… I’m looking forward to it.

An upscale Korean restaurant in Seoul.
Jeong Ha-na, who arrived at the meeting place first, asked the secretary.
“When are you coming?”
“Now they say they’ve arrived.”
“Yes? Then I’ll be back soon.”
Drooling-
As if Jeong Hana’s prediction was right, the door to the room opened and I saw a familiar face coming inside.
It was Lee Seo-young, the proud top model of top entertainment and also my best friend.
“Our Seoyoung!”
Jeong Ha-na got up from her seat and jumped into Lee Seo-young’s arms.
“One!”
Lee Seo-young embraced Jung Hana in her arms and welcomed her.
The moment when it seemed that no one could stop them in the friendly atmosphere of welcoming each other.
“What is it, unnie? Why didn’t you tell me if you were dating someone?”
A woman’s voice broke the atmosphere.
Lee Seo-young hurriedly turned her head and corrected her words.
“It’s not like that. He’s my friend.”
“Oh, Gran?”
“Not really.”
“Ah, okay. It’s a joke. It’s a joke.”
Even as he said that, he still had a smile on his face.
The situation ended here and it was the timing to eat together, but Jeong Hana was very good even though she was good at it. This time to the bad side.
At first glance, the cute-looking woman behind her looked like Seo-young’s sister, so she opened her mouth playfully, following Seo-yeong’s words.
“Ah, sweetheart~ Am I upset if that happens~?”
“···!!”
“Omg.”
“······”
Starting with Lee Seo-young’s embarrassed and shocked expression in her arms, various reactions came out from the manager behind her and secretary Jeong Ha-na, who stood up and watched the situation.
The manager covered her mouth and looked away as if he hadn’t heard, while Jeong Ha-na’s secretary looked at Jeong Ha-na without saying anything and was swearing with her eyes as if asking why.
“As expected. Sister, it’s okay if you don’t hide it from me.”
Even in the middle of it, she was Seo-yeong’s younger sister who clapped and said as if she knew it.
* * *
After the playful atmosphere ended, the four of them took their seats and had time to introduce each other.
“Seohyun-ah, that’s the representative of Top Entertainment, which I belong to, and my friend.”
“Ohh. You’re dating someone? Okay.”
“Oh, no. No.”
The moment she was about to introduce her younger sister to Hana, who was sitting across from her, after feeding her younger sister who was still playing pranks on her with a smile on her face, she fed her a chestnut.
“Ah, honey, why did you say that?”
“······You should stop too.”
After saying something to Jeong Hana, who plays the same joke as Seohyun, she introduced Hana to Seohyun.
“As you can see, this is my sister, Lee Seo-hyun.”
“Huh. Goodbye.”
“Hello.”
Seohyun looked straight at Jeong Ha-na’s gaze as if she was curious.
It was because she wasn’t the type to avoid staring at me.
Hana Jeong raised her eyebrows at the sight of Seohyun staring straight at her without avoiding her own eyes.
‘Is it because she’s the sister’s younger sister?’
Jeonghana, what kind of person is she?
He became the CEO of Top Entertainment by working hard from the ground up with the single thought of ‘I’d rather create an agency’ because he couldn’t stand it after going into the manager of an unknown agency and experiencing all sorts of unfair things.
There were many things to do before she came to the position of CEO, and one of her abilities that helped her overcome the most crises in the process was her ‘eyes to see people’.
It is also the ability that allowed me to rise to the top entertainment representative position by overcoming countless crises by keeping people I trust by my side and mercilessly severing ties with those who betray me.
That’s why when Jeong Ha-na sees people, she tends to look at their eyes first.
However, there were many people who quietly avoided eye contact or did not even make eye contact.
Sometimes, there were people who cursed at Jeong Ha-na, saying that her eyes were too unreasonable.
As for how many people are like that, Jung Hana was so many that she decided to put a person who doesn’t avert her eyes as a passing point in choosing someone she can trust.
So, first of all, Seoyoung’s younger brother was the one who passed Jeong Ha-na.
Of course, it’s strange that she’s not doing any interviews, and she’s just having a meal.
Should I say that I naturally judge that person?
However, I didn’t expect this either.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
It’s like asking what you’re looking at like that.
Jeong Hana said with a calm face.
“Just because you’re cute?”
“… Hee.”
Seohyun made a disgusted face at Jeong Ha-na’s words, then hid behind her older sister’s back and opened her mouth with only her eyes pouting out.
“Sister, that person is strange…”
Seeing this, Jung Ha-na burst into laughter.
Even though there were people who cursed at me or avoided me, there were no people who openly asked what I was watching and no one called me weird.
As if Jung Hana found a strange person, she looked at Seohyun and said,
“Do you want to be secret friends with your sister?”
“…?”
From the moment Jeong Hana made this suggestion, it was as if Seohyun had already been photographed by Jeong Hana.
‘Cute. I want to eat it right away.’
In a different way.
That time when Seohyun was looking at Jeong Hana as if it were strange.
“Let’s eat some rice.”
She heard Lee Seo-young’s voice, who had been looking at her table that had been set for a while.
“Yes. I’ve come so far, let’s eat deliciously.”
“That’s right.”
Jung Hana said as if she understood, and Seohyun raised her chopsticks while agreeing.
In fact, Seohyun was starving at the delicious smell wafting from the table that had been set earlier.
However, she didn’t think of putting a spoon on the table and only talked about her long-suffering janggu, so she said that I was also stuck there.
Now that I can eat, I pick up a piece of galbijjim in front of me, put it in my mouth, and slowly savor the taste.
“Drinking.”
Exclamations flowed naturally as the taste of the meat melted in your mouth.
Starting with braised short ribs, they brought and ate tteokgalbi, lifted a spoon to eat a large bowl of rice, and brought a kimchi to eat with the meat.
I felt happy every time I ate something delicious.
But suddenly, I started to feel eyes from somewhere.
I stopped eating for a while and lifted my head where I could feel their gaze, but everyone was looking at me.
I didn’t know because I was eating, but it turned out that everyone was looking at me while I was eating.
Thinking that everyone was watching me while I was eating, I suddenly felt embarrassed and my face started to turn red.
“···Foot.”
Starting with someone’s laughter, the room was filled with laughter for a short while.
“Oh, it’s far away…!!”
Seeing this, Seohyun was flustered and stammered.
When Seohyun realized that everyone was looking at me, he knew for a moment that he had done something wrong.
I wondered if everyone was staring at me because I ate too much alone.
Then, from somewhere, laughter began to be heard, and soon everyone started laughing.
Seohyun looked at the laughing people without knowing why.
Jung Hana, who was smiling, looked at Seohyun and said.
Haha. Oh, I’m sorry, it’s so cute to eat so deliciously.”
Seohyun couldn’t help but be more embarrassed by those words.
What do you mean by saying you’re cute even though you just ate?
