“Jang Hyunjoo-shi's. What do you think of pairing up with Kang Daehyun in this drama?”, the MCs started targeting Hyunjoo as the female lead for the following questions.
Yura gave a sharp look at Hyunjoo as if warning Hyunjoo not to say anything stupid that would provide soft food for the media present here.
“Actually, I met Daehyun-oppa while shooting a magazine. Maybe some of you here know.”, said Hyunjoo gave an answer in a soft language style and occasionally smiled.
Many cameras capture silhouettes and capture portraits of his face one by one. Besides, Daehyun seemed to notice the answer from Hyunjoo with his usual face. There was a smile that he gave but was limited to.
Daehyun knew full well that his every expression and action was being monitored by the media before them.
“Ah. ne.. I-i know. There are rumors that Daehyun is actually replacing the male model who should be paired with you. Is that true?”, so excited, the MC forgot the fact that topics like this are so off limits in today's prescon.
The male model and actor who should have been paired with Hyunjoo back then was no ordinary trouble. Until now there are still many who are not comfortable to direct the topic to him.
Hyunjoo's expression on hearing the question changed slightly, as did the rest of the crew.
“I met with Hyunjoo during the shoot. He was very professional and taught me well. Unexpectedly it turns out to be able to meet again in the drama.”, said Daehyun immediately pulled the spotlight in his direction.
All those who had previously let out a tense face started to relax slowly.
“At first I thought this drama would not sell out. Of course not because of the story or the production process, Gamdong-nim. Don't misunderstand me. But I'm not who - who. I am afraid this drama even failed because of me.”, Daehyun continued.
“What have you said? Of course not. You don't see what the ratings are for the first episode? Many people are very much looking forward to the airing of this drama.”, said MC.
Daehyun smiled and replied, “of course, one of them because of the many great players here.”
“Daehyun itself is also very great. Hardly ever had NG while filming.”, welcome Gamdong-nim.
With a throw-in opinion like that, slowly everyone began to forget the topic that was accidentally raised by the MC earlier and began to relax again.
Not noticeably, the prescon for approximately 2 hours was going well including with several giveaway posters signed by the actors and actresses given to those in attendance.

“You both have to fit the clothes that will be used for the television station award show.”, said one of the crew responsible for the drama.
“Oh.. alright. I will leave now.”, said Daehyun
“Daehyun-shi.”, call Hyunjoo intercept the man.
Daeun glanced at Hyunjoo for a moment then Daehyun. The man gives Daeun a code to get into the car first.
“How are you?”, asked Daehyun with a sweet look towards Hyunjoo.
“How long have you been asking? You don't know how upset I was when you didn't say or even ask me how I was after two days and went home filming drunk.”, Hyunjoo said angrily.
“Hm. sorry. I arrived late and there was no time to greet you.”, Daehyun said.
“I heard Min Hyukjae hit you on set?”, Hyunjoo just remembered that.
Yura didn't say anything to him. Hyunjoo heard it from someone else.
“Ha-ha.. It's okay - what. It was part of acting.”, Daehyun said.
“Part of acting what. He may have deliberately hit you.”, replied Hyunjoo annoyed.
“You mean? I just met him that night, why did he already want to hit me?”, Daehyun asked seriously looking at Hyunjoo.
DEG.
Hyunjoo. He couldn't possibly say that Hyukjae might kiss their relationship. If so, it means that Hyukjae is not an ordinary acquaintance of Hyunjoo. But, more than that.
“Ah.forget. Wow. it's like this. Let's go fittings. I can't wait.”, Hyunjoo quickly switched their conversation.

“Hyung, I gave you this at a cheap price. Remember, you still owe me a lot. You have to pay me later this month, remember?”, Hyukjae asked someone who was unconscious.
“You did not call the woman?”, asked Hyukjae's colleague.
“Who do you mean? Hyunjoo?”, he asked again.
“Yes.. Hyunjoo. I want to offer a good item for him.”, said the colleague.
“You can't do that. He is a famous artist. I don't want to destroy his career before I can take advantage of him.” Hyukjae said confidently.
“Yaaa.. Don't be confident like that. Who can you manage who can come and not.”, said someone behind Min Hyukjae.
“Hyu-hyung-beach.. You were here? Aren't I with you in Hong Kong?”, asked Hyukjae a little nervous and scared.
‘Why didn't you say he was here?’, Hyukjae asked his partner in a whisper.
“Why? You look like you just saw a ghost.”, the man replied.
“Ah. ti-no hyung. It's just that I thought you were in Hong Kong right now.”, said Min Hyukjae.
The man was unable to control his tone.
“Seeing you here like this reminds me of your debt. Did you pay the keel? Isn't it now due?”, said the man again.
“Bom-hyung-saw.. I'm asking for another month. I'm sure I can give you a lot of money. No I will pay it all off.”, said Min Hyukjae immediately rested at the feet of the man known as the Bomb.
“Then bring Hyunjoo here. I'll assume your debt is paid off 20%.”, reply Bomb.
“Eh? Hyungs.. Hyunjoo.. He's not the one we can call. No, he's not the guy I know. I was just a cast member in their drama.”, Hyukjae explained lying.
“Then, isn't it getting easier? You just brought him here. He must be interested.”, reply Bomb again.
‘Ah..This horrible man simply does not understand my point. How is this?’, Hyukjae said confusedly.
“Hahahahaha…. Where could you possibly take him! Although I rarely see TV, I also know how to scale that woman. Next time.. Next time you have to take him.”, Bom continued back in a scary tone.
“Front month. Remember?”, said Bom back while patting - cheek Min Hyukjae.
“You must carry me at least 50% of your debt. Otherwise, you have to be ready - ready, understand?”, continued Bom before finally leaving Hyukjae sitting down.
‘The man.. I can't take it anymore. I just borrowed a little, why now does he make me feel like I owe him a home?’, Hyukjae cried inwardly.
“Find your new customer in the circle filming that drama. I'm sure you can find one or two who will be your regulars.”, said Hyukjae's colleague beside him.
