The Trashy PD Has To Survive as an Idol

Chapter 91

Chapter 91

Hey, come out.

But it was quiet.

With that, I came up with a theory.

Good job!

Good job~ Wow, Min Jiheons acting is daeeeabak.

Its going to be even more amazing on set.

Huh, even more??

Everyone, from the actors to the staff, seemed to have a good hunch after finishing the script reading for Episode 1, as they all had bright smiles on their faces. People started getting up one by one, with some flocking to the director, some to Yu Jia, and the majority swarming around Min Jiheon, practically forming a barrier with their bodies.

As I quietly tidied up my script and got up, my manager standing behind me, grabbed my shoulder. When I turned my head, he was crying.

Ho-Hoyun sniffle.

Yes?

If I had known that you loved acting so much, I would have let you try it sooner

You think I like acting?

What was this?

As I incredulously asked him, my manager nodded, and tears dropped from the corners of his eyes. His sensitivity was crazily at its peak.

If not, how could you be so good at it! You havent even had an acting lesson, so you must have practiced by yourself all those times, right?

Sometimes, I cant help but be amazed by you, Manager.

How could he have such a misunderstanding?

As I let out an exclamation close to a lament, my manager had already convinced himself and wiped his tears with his sleeves as he nodded.

Did that come out after watching Min Jiheons acting just now?

Director Yu was startled by that nonsense when he happened to pass by us.

What? Seo Hoyun is crazy about acting?

Yes, Director Just look at our Hoyuns script. Its all worn out. This part is practically torn.

Thats because Jeong Dajun spilled coffee on the edge. The director looked at the worn-out script and sighed deeply.

I didnt even know! I really thought you had no interest. My goodness, I was so prejudiced.

Seo Hoyun, youre amazing~.

Even Yu Jia chimed in. She had come closer without me noticing, and her reaction instantly created a warm atmosphere.

I hurriedly opened my mouth, not wanting to earn a title like An Idol Crazy about Acting.

No, no! Compared to the passion of others, Im really lacking.

But when they heard my words, the gazes looking at me seemed even more dangerously adoring.

How can this be, even being modest!

Im really sorry, Hoyun

Director Yu suddenly said as he wiped away the teardrops the size of beans with his sleeve,

It reminds me of when I first started

Stop it. I came to catch Min Jiheon.

Everyone was forming an iron wall around me, cooing and echoing my words, making me wonder what to do. Min Jiheon, meanwhile, was trying to slip away through the crowd.

Fortunately, the conversation shifted to Yu Jias debut days just in time.

Ill be right back; I need to use the restroom.

Ah, sure, go ahead!

No matter what I said now, they would just look at me fondly.

Leaving the awkwardness behind, I quickly stepped out and caught up with Min Jiheon. He already got so far in such a short time.

Min Jiheon, just a moment.

Huh?

Min Jiheon, who had just demonstrated divine acting, smiled sheepishly back at me.

Hello?

Im not in the mood for hellos.

I wasnt in the mood to exchange greetings with someone who made me want to puke blood. Since there were many people around, I lowered my voice and asked,

Do you have some time right now?

Even if I dont, Ill make some.

Could we chat, just the two of us, without the managers?

Instead of answering, Min Jiheon stared at me intently. I couldnt read what he was thinking, only that he was slightly perplexed.

Did we agree to use polite language again?

I cant remember well.

Lets speak politely to each other.

Yes.

Sigh

Right now, I felt like I had met a top-notch, complete creature for the first time in a long while. No, it was also because Joo Woosung and Lim Hyeonsu were such pushovers.

Min Jiheon seemed to be no pushover, so I kept wavering

I am Seo Hoyun. Im telling you, I am Seo Hoyun.

Lets just do what Ive been doing until now, just like that.

I took a break for a beat and looked straight at Min Jiheon.

Huh, Min Jiheon. Dont you want to continue being a celebrity?

I laid out the card of threat.

Of course, I knew nothing about Min Jiheon, but

Lets just throw it out and see.

Are you going to be able to hide it forever?

Honestly, it was a long shot, but I thought it was worth a try.

Will you be able to hide it forever?

!

Thats right.

There was a reaction when I threw it out.

Well, of course, there was no one in this world without a single speck of dust when you shook them enough.

Min Jiheon stroked his chin with a troubled expression.

Damn it

I can keep quiet if you just tell me the answer I want to hear.

Min Jiheon looked straight at me and sighed.

Well, I guess I cant hide it forever.

Finally, a response came. With a gloomy expression, Min Jiheon noisily sipped his straw.

Actually

I eat a lot. Minimum 10 servings.

Ah

As I glared at Min Jiheon with my clenched hands trembling, he wore a distant gaze and started to list other TMI. (Though none of them were damaging, they were actually elements that would ignite a fans heart.)

My mom thought I had a parasite in my stomach, so we went to every hospital we could find. But there was nothing. They said I was just fine.

Hey.

I was just a pig.

The pig rested his chin on his hand-made flower stand and grinned.

But hyung um, youre threatening me now, right?

Do you want me to threaten you in reverse?

I looked at him with an expression that said, Go ahead and fucking try, you think you can do anything? but Min Jiheon shook his head.

What? No, I like hyung quite a bit. I really hope it goes well. I enjoyed watching the Shining Star rerun I support The Dawn and like Hyungs subtly slippery personality too.

Slippery?

If the system window could appear right now, it would have frantically displayed question marks. Thanks to that, my plan to spread false rumors about Min Jiheon by manipulating data flew right out the window.

Anyway. I was just asking because

Min Jiheon mumbled, making crunching noises with the ice in his straw.

If you want to hear the answer, isnt asking for a favor more normal than threatening.

I just thought that was the sensible thing to do

He was talking about the standard, common-sense thing one would hear, not something a crazy person would go for.

After racking my brain, I realized that was the case. If I had nothing to threaten him with, it was best to just give him something to hold onto.

But it was shocking to be pointed out in such a common-sense way by someone who looked like they had no common sense.

Should I give up on Min Jiheon and look for another, another more fascinating person?

No, no. Wheres the guarantee that theyll know something if I do that?

Min Jiheon really does have some skills.

That damn bracelet and those eyes that occasionally grazed me strangely were proof.

An item? He was someone who could even make the system window malfunction, so it wouldnt work. And given his intuition, the chances of it being blocked if I tried now were even higher.

In other words, he was someone immune to all the strategies I had at my disposal.

I glared at him and asked,

What do you want?

Then, lets try persuasion.
