Chapter 60
Taemin and Jun Sena gave each other the cold shoulder for almost a month. During that period of time, Jun Sena would deliberately call Hyeon keun on the phone and talk to him affectionately with sweet nothings whenever she was at the same table as Taemin . Jun Minjun was sandwiched between them, but he dared not vent his frustration at all.
Jun Minjun
Second Sister-in-law, do you plan to take on any new roles? I have a few drama scripts here that are pretty good.
Seeing Jun Sena blow kisses into her cellphone, Jun Minjun rubbed the goosebumps on his arm before looking at Taemin again. Taemin was chewing on an apple, fully immersed.
Kwon Taemin
I’m just an in-name artist of your company. Whatever job I take on in the future has nothing to do with you.
Jun Minjun
💭The only reason that I’m tolerating you is that you are my Second Sister-in-law. If you were someone else, I would have kicked you out of the company.
Jun Minjun
But the company also needs to be involved in some things. When the film is released, our employees will promote it.
This time, Taemin did not refuse. He was looking forward to seeing the audience’s reaction after the release of ‘Female Fortress Leader’. Old Mr. Jun’s birthday was a few days after the release date. Before then, he would not be taking on a new role. After all, he didn’t have the capital to negotiate with those people yet.
Jun Minjun
The promotional events are starting tomorrow, right? Do you need me to hire some keyboard warriors to support you?
Kwon Taemin
Do I lack fame so much that I need them to create clout for me?
Jun Minjun
Uh….
Seeing Taemin and Jun Minjun chatting like nobody else was around, Jun Sena also wanted to join in. However… Gritting her teeth, she raised her voice.
Jun Sena
Really? Hyeon keun , you’re awesome. You don’t have to consider me, your future is important. I support your decision to go study abroad.
Taemin and Jun Minjun rolled their eyes in unison. ‘How pretentious.’ After hanging up the phone, Jun Sena abruptly stood up and said,
Jun Sena
Hyeon keun has received an acceptance letter from an internationally renowned arts academy. He will be going abroad to further his studies soon. By then, he will become the most popular painter and newcomer of the arts scene.
As she spoke, she carefully scrutinized Taemin with her peripheral vision. She expected to see a change in Taemin ’s expression at first, but in the end… At this moment, Taemin was simply a replica of Jun Jungsu, expressionless and resembling a stone statue.
Jun Minjun
Jun Sena, aren’t you sick of this? We’re not curious about where your gigolo is going to study. If you want to flaunt your relationship, go to the side. •waved his hand with extreme annoyance•
Jun Sena
💭Gigolo?
Jun Sena
•slammed her hand on the table and snapped• Third Brother, watch your words. Who are you to say that Hyeon keun is a gigolo?
Jun Minjun
Hmph, you’re just like a retard. Given your poor judgment, you’re only worthy of a lousy man like Hyeon keun .
Jun Sena
💭Second Sister-in-law must have badmouthed Hyeon keun in front of Third Brother! If not, why would Third Brother say that when he hadn’t even met Hyeon keun ’s before
Thinking about this, Jun Sena glanced at Taemin resentfully with tears in her eyes.
Jun Sena
Taemin , I hate you. I must have been blind to think that you’re the only one who’s worthy of Second Brother.
Kwon Taemin
No man in the world is worthy of me.
Jun Sena
Hah, stay alone for the rest of your life then. Just you two wait and see, Hyeon keun and I will not only have a good relationship, we will also get married and have our own children.
After saying that, Jun Sena stomped her feet and dashed upstairs while wiping her tears. Jun Minjun coughed twice awkwardly.
Jun Minjun
Jun Sena has always been spoiled rotten and pampered since she was a child. She doesn’t know the viciousness of the human heart, plus she is a little bratty. You…
Kwon Taemin
I can’t be bothered to stoop to her level.
Kwon Taemin
Tomorrow, I’m going to promote the film with the crew. I won’t be back for the next few days. •leaves to his room•
Jun Minjun
Hey!
Jun Minjun
Jun Minjun once again called out to Taemin to stop him, and looked at him with a somewhat complicated gaze.
Kwon Taemin
Shoot.
Jun Minjun
You… you’re not really going to leave Sena alone, right? She’s actually quite kindhearted, she’s just overwhelmed and blinded by love now, and… you’re disapproving of Hyeon keun without a proper reason. It’s understandable that she’d detest you.
Kwon Taemin
It’d be too late if I wait until I find the evidence. However, your sister clearly doesn’t need it.
Jun Minjun
Um… then, you and her…
He could tell that Jun Sena quite liked Taemin and was especially dependent on him. Jun Sena was not that chummy with her eldest sister-in-law.
Jun Minjun
Jun Sena was so blatant with her words and was so upset by what you said because she likes you.
Kwon Taemin
I’m her second sister-in-law.
At least, before he gets a divorce, Taemin would still be considered Jun Sena’s elder.
Kwon Taemin
💭As for the rest… we’ll let nature take its course. Jun Sena is really…
Jun Minjun
•cursed softly• Troublesome.
The physical promotional activities of ‘Female Fortress Leader’ required them to travel to six cities. As the female lead, Taemin could not turn it down. At this juncture, Hong Bin, who hadn’t met Taemin in a long time, was undoubtedly the happiest person.
Hong Bin
Lei Pepper, how about it? Do you want to consider joining our company instead? Jun Minjun is so unreliable.
Kwon Taemin
No
Hong Bin wore an extraordinarily pompous pink suit today, and his hair was dyed silver some time ago. He looked just like a pretty boy from a comic book.
Hong Bin
Lei Pepper, I read from your profile information that you like the color silver, so I especially went to dye my hair silver. Don’t I look very handsome?
Hong Bin
•Squatted in front of Taemin, like a small puppy wagging its tail• Do you want to touch my hair? It’s nice to touch.
Kwon Taemin
Everyone knows that information on the internet may not be true.
They were now at the press release venue and there were hundreds of guests present, and almost all of them were Hong Bin’s fans. Seeing this, a group of people started pulling out their cellphones.
“Oh my god, so that’s what Hong Bin is like!” “They’re so compatible. Hong Bin is worthy of being the spouse that Taemin tried to vie for in the fortress. I’m now looking forward to the release of the movie.” “They probably did that on purpose to match their onscreen characters, but Hong Bin is really so submissive.” Tian wen looked at the interaction between the two of them and suddenly felt that what Hong Bin did was not too bad as it would definitely boost the popularity of the film.
As soon as the promotional campaigns for ‘Female Fortress Leader’ began, the ones for ‘Islander’ started too. Furthermore, Chae Eunhyuk of the Chae Corporation would also be attending the event in Shenyang as a special guest. ‘Is Chae Eunhyuk done with handling the mess he’s involved in?’ Taemin was holding the tablet, on which was displaying the new issue of Chae Eunhyuk’s interview.
Stranger
Mr. Chae, I heard that you faced a problem with your club in America some time ago and made a special trip there to resolve the issues. Mr. Jun happened to be in America as well, did you two meet
Chae Eunhyuk
Is Jun Jungsu a beauty whom everyone loves? Why should I meet him?
Stranger
….
Stranger
Mr. Chae, now that the film ‘Female Fortress Leader’ that Second Young Mistress Jun invested in is about to be released at the same time as ‘Islander’ which you invested in, do you have anything to say about this?
Chae Eunhyuk
•raised his middle finger and said arrogantly• They’re definitely going to be defeated, but I won’t feel a sense of achievement for defeating Omega.
Taemin squinted.
Kwon Taemin
💭Chae Eunhyuk, huh? It’s over for you.
