In a corner of the set, Lee Taegyeom chuckled as he watched Choi Jaewon hesitate upon seeing himself.

"How's it going, sir?"

"Hyungnim."

Lee Taegyeom smiled broadly. His initial perception of Choi Jaewon, who was difficult to approach, had changed significantly following a certain incident. It was related to Choi Jaewon, who had just fled moments ago.

"Hey, come here."

"Me?"

Yoo Yeonseo, who had become quieter than before, and the support barrage from his family had elevated his standing on the set to its peak.

Choi Jaewon was always dissatisfied with that. He felt annoyed by the overestimation just because he had become a bit quieter. But since he couldn't directly confront Yoo Yeonseo, he started venting his frustration on Lee Taegyeom, his manager.

"Go get some water."

"Me? What about your manager?"

"Then who else will do it if not you? I'm busy with my own tasks."

Am I not busy too? Lee Taegyeom grumbled internally but resigned himself. It was something he was used to.

"But there's a vending machine outside."

"Don't they have the brand of water I drink there? Go and buy it."

The remote set required a ten-minute drive to reach the convenience store. No wonder Choi Jaewon's gaze seemed so harsh since the reading; he seemed intentionally trying to harass.

"Aren't you going?"

"Yes, yes, I'm going."

Honestly, compared to Yoo Yeonseo when he had his twelfth manager, he simply followed along as he was much more demanding back then. Now that Yoo Yeonseo's reputation was excellent, he tried to handle things quietly without causing unnecessary friction. That had been his method of managing Yoo Yeonseo until now.

In fact, there were many people like this. Those who couldn't touch the untouchable Yoo Yeonseo and instead pressured their managers to feel a sense of superiority, or those who couldn't say anything to Yoo Yeonseo directly after he caused an incident, so they directed their frustrations at their managers. This had greatly contributed to managers resigning from their positions.

"Mr. Taegyeom, I'll take care of it instead, please go to Mr. Choi."

"Mr... Mr. Choi?"

"Mr. Choi Jaewon, could I have a word with you for a moment?"

Thus, Lee Taegyeom, who had been accommodating Choi Jaewon's whims several times, was suddenly stopped by Im Seunghyun one day. Im Seunghyun smiled casually and disappeared with Choi Jaewon.

And when he reappeared, Choi Jaewon's complexion was pale. And he seemed to flee from Im Seunghyun's side as if running away.

"Surely you didn't hit him?"

Im Seunghyun turned his head as if to say there was no point in responding to Lee Taegyeom's absurd question.

"Then what did you talk about?!"

"It's a secret."

Though Lee Taegyeom didn't know the details, there must have been a reason behind the incident where Yoo Yeonseo called Choi Jaewon destitute. Since then, Choi Jaewon had started avoiding people related to Yoo Yeonseo. It seemed as if he thought his life would be ruined if he got involved with Yoo Yeonseo.

"Pretty cool..."

Anyway, after that incident, Lee Taegyeom began treating Im Seunghyun as his real brother, not just a secretary.
