Shooting Reality Show Man Are You
"Oh, Haejun sunbae, you've come" said Jin Ji, as he approached Haejun who was resting on his lap.
"Jin Ji!! Waaahh is so happy to see you, since you're notoriously hard to see a strand of your hair," teased Haejun, Jin Ji's acting senior, and also his senior in the Starscript Intertaiment, the agency that houses Jin Ji, Haejun, and several other famous celebrities.
"Sunbae, you praise me too much, it's all thanks to sunbae anyway. If only sunbae hadn't recommended me to the director of Gangnam Class, I would still be a naive actor. Thank you very much, sunbae," said Jin Ji, sincere.
Haejun scratched his non-itchy head, "ah not so. You're already talented, so it's only natural that you can be famous."
"Haejun! Ji Jin! Shooting will begin, be prepared" the assistant director shouted.
"Good~" Jin Ji and Haejun replied simultaneously.
"Sunbae, then go get ready first."
"OK." Haejun's smile slowly faded as Jin Ji left him. Haejun clenched his hands tightly, until his fingers stood out firmly. That fucking kid! How dare he greet me like that, he thinks I'm his friend?! Goddamn bum! look, I'll teach him a lesson!
"Hey, Jin Ji, why are you still being nice to her?" Seok Woo asked, whispering to Jin Ji.
"Can't really?" Jin Ji asked back. "Oh, looks like this is enough, thank you, noona." Jin Ji turned to her makeup artist.
Seok Woo let out a long sigh, "yes, he is indeed a senior who has always been kind to you. However, he still framed you back then. So, it's kind of annoying to see you still being nice to her."
Jin Ji was silent for a moment, and then he gave a small smile, "already, brother. In this entertainment world if we hold grudges, then we will not be able to succeed. After all Haejun sunbae said that he was very sorry, and had also recommended me to the director of Gangnam class as a form of regret, and now, you see for yourself that thanks to gangnam class I can be famous."
"Right, it's just the way it is but, still...,"
"Alright, we'll be ready in ten seconds!" Shouted the director to tell all the crew and artists to get ready.
"Sister, you go" whispered Jin Ji.
"All right." Seok Woo leaves the frame, and waits for Jin Ji in the waiting room.

Man Are You is a reality show about how men respond. Initially, Jin Ji was not involved in the program. However, thanks to the drama Gangnam class that starred and made him a favorite man of the world, making Jin Ji a permanent panelist at the event.
"Today we're going to pick the first topic for today's discussion" the host said, spinning a spin. "What are we going to talk about today?"
The spin wheel kept spinning, until it slowly became slow and finally stopped, "today we will discuss about the controversy of paid dating!" the host, Kim Tae Hyi.
Haejun inexplicably smiled so satisfied, whereas Jin Ji was now paled, he even squeezed the tip of his jacket.
"So how do you guys respond as men to paid dating? As we know, there has been a debate lately about the existence of paid dating, some agree, some do not, and some even do not care. So, as men, how do you respond to it? Haejun?" Tae Hyi asked, asking Haejun a question.
"Emmm, I don't think it's a problem, because both parties agree on it, and also both benefit. Yeah, right, Jin-ah?" Haejun embraced Jin Ji, and gave an implied smile to his junior.
"N-de's? I-i.., i.., i...,"
"This is indeed a sensitive topic, but it's fine to give your opinion, Jin-ah," Haejun said.
"True, it's okay to argue," the host chimed in.
"I-I.., I guess what the sunbae said.., it makes no sense, however our country is a strict country with morality, so...,"
"You're right, Jin-ah, even though it doesn't matter to other countries like the west, paid dating is not worth it to our country. Everyone knows that, especially for celebrities like us. Paid dating is...., it would destroy everything if it got people like us involved, right?" Haejun said, full of sirats.
Jin Ji was getting nervous, he squeezed the end of his jacket harder. Was he on purpose? Thought Jin Ji.
On the other hand, in the corner of the room. Seok Woo who saw what happened could only look at Haejun hatefully. He must have been on purpose! Thought Seok Woo.
Time passed, shooting went well. However, Jin Ji was still stunned by his nervousness because of one of the topics in the discussion.
"Hey, Jin Ji, are you okay? Throughout the shoot my face looks pale," the director scolded.
"Ah, really? Should it be repeated?" Ask Jin Ji.
"No need, our editor can arrange it. But, you're really okay, aren't you? You can't get sick, then the audience will protest me if you don't show up on their tv screens" joked the director, making Jin Ji smile widely. However, in his heart, it used to be that director Hwang had never behaved like this to me before. All this.
"Yes, I'll try to be okay. Then I'll go first, director."
Jin Ji walked into his waiting room. There she gets a drink from Seok Woo. "He must have been intentional!" Seok Woo said.
Jin Ji drinks the drink Seok Woo gave her. Then he replied, "forget it, brother."
"Jin-ah, you can't go on like this! We'd better just report everything to the police, before things get messed up!" Tukas Seok Woo's.
Jin Ji put his drink on the table, and then looked at Seok Woo coldly, "you know best that I won't win against anyone in the industry. I.., have many defects. So, forget it, brother." Jin Ji is more determined than he actually feels, he is afraid, agitated, and distressed by everything that happened to him both in the past, and now.
Otherside.
Haejun's waiting room.
"Do you see his face?" Ask the manager cheerfully.
Haejun displayed an evil smile, "that's why, he shouldn't hesitate in front of me. Only the lackey artist managed to get a little popular, you fucking Jin Ji!" Rutuk Haejun's. Haejun had always been jealous of Jin Ji. Jin Ji basically had the potential to succeed. However, not wanting to be rivaled, Haejun forced the director by using his fame to not give Jin Ji a big role, which was the reason why Jin Ji was not successful. Haejun also pretends to be kind to Jin Ji to make sure that Jin Ji cannot be more popular than him. But one day, one...,
"But, Brother Haejun, what if that person knows what you're doing today?"
Deggg
Haejun stiffened instantly.
"Sister has promised her not to touch Jin Ji, if she knows...,"
"You.., you're ruining happiness! I was just having a little fun anyway. I.., I don't really intend to take down Jin Ji," Haejun stuttered.

Manager Haejun opened the door for the one who knocked, and...,
"You.., y-you...,"

Jin Ji gets out of the car shakily making Seok Woo worried.
"No need, brother. There's a lot on our schedule today, so brother just go home and take a break."
"Seriously don't want me to be with you?"
"Yes," said Jin Ji, with a fluffy smile on his face.
"All right, then I'm leaving." Seok Woo drives off his car, leaving the grounds of Jin Ji's house.
Jin Ji stepped into his house, he dropped his body on the sofa, and sighed quite a long sigh. "Today, I'm tired. Mom, I miss mom," he murmured.
"Your mother's ash house in Busan, it'll only take two hours. You want to go?" The question from the darkness shocked Jin Ji.
"WHO IS THAT?!!!!"
The owner of the voice let out a long sigh, and then turned on the living room lamp. "It's me, you idiot. You didn't hear my voice?"
"Miss Ch-Chae Eun? Why are you here?"
"This is my house, don't forget!" Chae Eun replied, as she stepped towards the sofa beside the sofa that Jin Ji was sitting on.
Jin Ji let out a long sigh, "yes~ this has indeed become your home. But, I pay twenty million monthly for this house, okay?"
"This is my home!" Tukas Chae Eun's.
"What if a reporter saw this?"
Chae Eun looked at Jin Ji with a serious face, "right! I saw someone peering outside, kudu ottokae?" Temptation Chae Eun, makes Jin Ji panic.
"You're serious?!" Jin Ji moved out of place, and then checked all the windows whether they were tightly closed or not.
"Hahahahah, stupidly~" chae Eun chuckled, making Jin Ji's steps come to a halt.
"You..," Jin Ji was silent for a moment, and thought. "You lied to me?!"
"Just think to yourself, there are indeed people who are able to climb the three-meter-high fence, eoh? And also the distance from the gate to this house is up to ten meters. It's impossible for anyone to sneak around unless.., you."
"Ck, shitty!" Jin Ji complained as he stepped back onto the sofa, and dropped himself there. "I didn't sneak around, just.., just ehmm.., just accidentally walked in," Jin Ji muttered at the last word he said. However, it remained that Chae Eun heard it.
Chae Eun breathed a long breath. "Forget it. It's night, I'm going to sleep."
Jin Ji woke up from lying down, "you slept here?!"
"Eoh."
"You crazy?! What if there's a rumor?"
"Oh so you're so scared your image is polluted huh? Take it easy, I will live like a ghost here, even though this is my own home" Chae Eun said.
"Living like a ghost? You intend to stay here?"
"Fuckin' thick! One hundred for Jin Ji. Then I'll go to sleep first." Chae Eun was about to enter the room when Jin Ji quickly held her back.
"Hey, I've been paying rent for this house for a year huh! So you can't be like this!" Tegur Jin Ji's. "And again, the room you were about to enter was the room I used to know!"
Chae Eun was silent for a moment, and watched Jin Ji's face closely. Then, an ignorant smile rose on his face, "astaga, we are married, so there is no such thing as my room, or your room. There is only our room, and again, my husband is handsome once today, make me want to.." Chae Eun touched Jin Ji's face, making the man's face red.
"You-you want what?" Jin Ji stammered.
"Want to eat you" whispered Chae Eun, making Jin Ji's face blush.
"Crazy! Just use that room as much as you can, I'll sleep in the other room!!!!!" Jin Ji ran away from Chae Eun, and entered the room in the corner.
Chae Eun laughed loudly at Jin Ji's behavior, "hahahaha it was fun to tease him. In the future I must often tease."
Inside the room, Jin Ji touched his hot face. "Gosh, why is he so annoying?! And again why is he here? If anyone finds out we're staying together, then he'll be the one who gets hurt more. My fans, directors, and business associates will definitely blaspheme him." Jin Ji let out a long breath.
Epilogue
"Hey, Director, where did you tell Mr Uhm to go? I saw that he was in such a hurry when he came out of your study." Jessica asked while handing over the documents that required Chae Eun's signature.
"Just do a simple task" Chae Eun replied.
Jessica knitted her brows, "sucks. If you remember that Mr. Uhm has only worked with you for one year, and his work seems easy considering he is not part of any division in this company, but, why is his salary greater?!" Jessica Protests. All this time Jessicalah channeled the salaries of the employees, and the nominal stated for Mr. Uhm every time he transferred money, making him jealous half to death.
"Are you threatening people? If you can, you can take over Mr. Uhm's duties" Chae Eun said as she studied the documents Jessica had just brought with her.
Jessica slips. "Threatening? Are you threatening clients who owe our company money, huh? You crazy?! We have contracts, we have manners, and we have rules, why use threats?"
Chae Eun let out a long sigh, she immediately signed the document Jessica gave her, and gave it back to Jessica. "Don't think much, just bring this document, isn't this document important? there!"
"Ck, shitty!"
Jessica was about to get out when Chae Eun said, "hey, Chun Bong, you don't like me living with you, do you? Then, for that reason I'll leave your house."
"Ehhh?" Jessica doesn't understand.
"It's gone there."
Jessica shook her head before she left Chae Eun's study.
Drrrtt drrrtt drrrtt
Chae Eun receives an incoming call from Uhm Jae Hyeong on her phone.
"How, sir Uhm?"
"It's done, miss. He said he wouldn't do it again."
"Goodoo. Then continue watching Jin Ji, if anyone ever troublemakers with him again, report it to me."
"Good."
Phone terminated.
How dare that damn Haejun try to corner my husband. If it wasn't because I didn't want to frontally help my husband, I would have already made his career die in the entertainment industry!
