"TV drama?"
When Bae Joo-hyun asked about this, Ji Kyung-won didn't hide anything and casually said, "The preliminary preparations are basically done. I've already arranged to have a meeting with Netflix tomorrow, and then we should start casting. Once the actors are selected, we'll start filming immediately."
"What? Do you have an idea?"
Bae Joo-hyun brought this up for a reason, and Ji Kyung-won smiled as he looked at her and asked her.
Although the young lady had previously filmed a web drama that didn't garner much attention, and her acting skills were barely passable, Ji Kyung-won, who was familiar with the script of "MOUSE," was well aware that there was no suitable role for her in this drama.
However, it doesn't have any impact.
Even if "MOUSE" isn't suitable, we can find other TV series.
Chi Kyung-won is never stingy with his help and care for those close to him.
"It's not me."
She understood what Ji Kyung-won meant from his tone, and Bae Joo-hyun seemed very happy. She leaned in and rubbed against him happily before shaking her head: "It's Joy. The company originally wanted to promote her, but I think you rejected her, right? Later we found out about us... Anyway, they asked me to tell you."
As she spoke, Bae Joo-hyun recalled some moments during this time when Park Soo-young had taken the initiative:
……
"You could have said before that it was worth a try... Aishi!"
This is a scene from when Bae Joo-hyun saw Park Soo-young talking to her manager after hearing Ji Kyung-won's rejection, and how she vented her frustration after returning home. She remembered that after learning the result from her manager, she came back with a sour face and even smashed a mineral water bottle on the ground.
"Unnie, you and Kyungwon oppa are... back together now?" Soon, Park Sooyoung, clearly having heard something, came over to inquire with a concerned expression.
"Joohyun unnie, want to go out for dinner together?" After that, Bae Joohyun often received her enthusiastic invitations, and she started chatting with her more often during practice.
"Omo, unnie, your earring is so pretty!"
"Unnie, is Kyungwon oppa coming back in a couple of days?"
……
After a brief moment of reminiscence, Bae Joo-hyun's lips unconsciously curled into a smile, a mixture of reserve and a hint of teasing on her face. She looked at Ji Kyung-won with a knowing chuckle.
"You have no idea, I've known her since I was a trainee, and even after she debuted and became the leader, I've never seen Joy treat me with such enthusiasm."
"hehe."
Although he didn't know the details, Ji Kyung-won could tell from Bae Joo-hyun's expression that she enjoyed it and was in a good mood, so he smiled and said, "Knowing that you have this shortcut, of course I have to try it. It just proves that Joy has matured."
He chuckled twice, then looked up at the chandelier above, seemingly genuinely considering the possibility of Park Soo-young playing the role. However, after a quick reconsideration, he clicked his tongue.
“If it were any other role, I wouldn’t mind letting her do it for your sake, but I’ve thought about this one, and it really is…”
"MUA~"
Before Chi Jingyuan could finish speaking, the young lady interrupted him with a kiss. The soft, sweet touch was brief, and Bae Joo-hyun glanced at him with teary eyes, then emphasized very seriously:
“An Dui! I’m just telling you this, after all, she’s been talking to me about it for so long… but I’m just telling you, I don’t mean to explain it to her.”
"Do you think I'm Pabo, that I'll help her just because you say a few nice words? This is your new drama, the new drama of the newly crowned TV King Chi Jingyuan. Even I, a layman, know that it must be very important. It's not that simple."
Seeing Bae Joo-hyun solemnly saying the words "newly crowned TV King," Ji Kyung-won couldn't help but chuckle.
Moreover, as she spoke, she even puffed out her chest with a hint of pride, causing the snow plum blossoms in the air to sway twice, instantly drawing his attention.
"Joy would be very upset if she knew you were like this."
Chi Jingyuan grinned at the young lady: "Didn't I treat you to dinner?"
"Why haven't I seen her so enthusiastic before? Last year when we... back then, she was gossiping and making sarcastic remarks to other people, acting like I didn't know..."
"Moreover, she already has the best personal resources in the team. She has already filmed a movie this year and played the female lead. And now she's coming again... If it weren't for the fact that you got the GUCCI collaboration, I, as the team leader, can't compare to her at all."
The young woman, for some reason, said angrily:
"I have a temper too!"
Seeing her indignant expression and the few Daegu dialect words she habitually uttered, Chi Jingyuan smiled and shook his head, unable to resist giving her pert bottom a light pat.
Bae Joo-hyun is mostly like a gentle older sister, thoughtful, delicate and likes to take care of people.
But she always inadvertently reveals this pettiness, pretending to be carefree even though she cares a lot inside. That kind of Daegu-style rustic old lady vibe is deeply ingrained, and no matter how beautiful or brightly she dresses, it will still be exposed unintentionally.
But it's also good. No one has only one monotonous personality. Once the goddess filter is broken after a while, it becomes a bit boring. This contrast, however, makes him find it very interesting.
When Ji Kyung-won heard Bae Joo-hyun mention Park Soo-young, he immediately started considering it.
But hearing what she said now, he just smiled and didn't care much... After all, everyone has their own level of closeness and distance. He and Park Soo-young were only familiar with each other at the company, but their personal relationship wasn't particularly close.
If it were Kang Seulgi, he would really have to think about it.
The two chatted enthusiastically for a long time, and before they knew it, it was already late at night. Chi Jingyuan picked up his phone from the bedside table and glanced at the time: "It's almost five o'clock. Are you still going to sleep... Do you have any plans for today?"
"I'm fine, it's just practice and recording. What about you? Didn't you say you had a meeting with Netflix today?"
The appointment time is in the afternoon.
"Then you should get some sleep." With that, Bae Joo-hyun started to get up from Ji Kyung-won.
"Let's eat something before we go to sleep. I can't fall asleep right now."
Chi Jingyuan reached out to stop her from getting up, gently stroking her body with his left hand while casually scrolling through his phone with his right hand to check for new text messages and news.
"...Song Joong-ki and Song Hye-kyo's wedding is over. Speaking of which, they even sent me an invitation."
With a casual scroll, Ji Kyung-won saw the hottest news in the Korean entertainment industry these past two days: the Song-Song couple, who met on the set of "Descendants of the Sun" and became a national couple, finally got married three days ago, on October 31.
"I've seen a lot of news about it these past few days, but it was a private wedding, they only invited close friends and family, so I don't know the specifics."
Bae Joo-hyun seemed quite interested in this as well, looking at him curiously: "Did they send you an invitation too? Why didn't you go?"
"I was invited, but we had an event in LA that day. How could I come back alone?"
Chi Jingyuan shrugged: "And actually, we're not that close, although they were quite enthusiastic, and Song Hye-kyo's manager is very good at handling people... But even though I didn't come in person, I asked Hyun-hyung to give me a gift. Oh, and they also gave me a knotted rope, saying they made it by hand and all the guests present received one."
"Did you make it yourself? What does it look like?"
"It's the traditional kind from the peninsula. I didn't bring it today, I'll show it to you next time..."
