As soon as she confirmed that Yuri would be heading on set in 5 days, Sooyeon cheered in secret. However, Yuri some how found out and decided to confront her. His eyes squinted suspiciously as he looked at her, "I received word that you were happy to find out I'd be heading on set soon."
Sooyeon cleared her throat awkwardly as she looked at the icy cold man opposite her and smiled, "It's because I don't know anything and felt like I've been causing you trouble."
Yuri looked away and replied, "I guess you have been quite troubling..."
This was because he constantly had the urge to kiss her...
"Well, once you're on set and filming has commenced, you won't feel troubled by me anymore," Sooyeon put down the script in her hands hoping to have an early night.
She was going to relax and head out for a movie. But...was Yuri actually going to let her go? "Your arm is pretty much capable of moving again, so, I was hoping to go home early tonight."
"Do you have someone to go home to?"
"No..." Sooyeon replied. "But, it's been a while since I've had some time to myself. I want to do some shopping and go for a walk."
"I'll come with you," Yuri suddenly offered.
"Huh?" Sooyeon was surprised, "You? The national treasure actor? You want to go shopping with me? Let's not. I don't want everyone to be looking at me."
"Don't you like being with me at all?" Yuri asked as he pointed to himself. "You'd rather spend time with Tiffany than to stay here, wouldn't you?"
"Well, that's because I like Fany unnie..."
"Are you trying to say that you don't like me? Does it feel like torture to spend time with me?"
Sooyeon was a little dumbfounded. Did she ever say that? Yuri was almost 33; a few days older than Taeyeon. But, why were his thoughts not as mature and sensible as someone of the same age?
"I want to go watch a movie..."
"I'll go with you. Don't worry, after I disguise myself, no one will recognize me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yuri rushed into his bedroom to put on a disguise. Not long after, a man with a beard appeared in front of Sooyeon, "Can we go now?"
"If you're not careful, the news headlines tomorrow will be about a messy relationship between a small assistant and a superstar!" Sooyeon looked at him in fear, still reluctant to go with him.
"Fine, go by yourself then..." Yuri admitted defeat as he sat down on the sofa. Without hesitation, Sooyeon hurried out in fright. Was he really that scary?
With a dark expression, Yuri made a phone call to Taeyeon, "Get Tiffany on the phone for me..."
Taeyeon lifted one eyebrow curiously; had Yuri swallowed dynamite? However, he still handed the phone to Tiffany.
"Your assistant is a little stupid...No, let me rephrase, she's VERY stupid."
Tiffany burst out laughing. Judging by Yuri's tone, Sooyeon was definitely driving him crazy. He tried his best to pursue her, but Sooyeon kept running away like she had absolutely no idea.
"When dealing with Sooyeon, you need to target her compassionate side. In other words, you have to do something to gain her sympathy."
"You keep appearing in front of her like an almighty superstar demanding for her to take care of you. Of course Sooyeon would brush you off."
"Plus, it's not like she's never seen a handsome face before; the man I have at home is stunning enough. So, you have to let her see your good side and cater to her interests, understand?"
"He's so lazy, as if he would cater to other's interests," Taeyeon commented as he sat to one side. "He's the type of person that wants to sleep with someone on the first date and marry them on the second. Slowly pursuing someone? He has no patience for such a tedious process. That's why no woman would ever want to marry him."
Yuri felt a little hurt by Taeyeon's words, so he hung up the phone. Although he didn't admit it, he was indeed the way that Taeyeon described - he hated dragging things out.
In fact, on a few occasions, he almost grabbed onto Sooyeon and asked her to be with him. But, he knew Sooyeon would reject him, so the words never left his mouth.
Tiffany suggested he target her compassionate side.
There were plenty of fans that chased after celebrities their entire lives to find they couldn't even get a glimpse. Yet, here she was, spending day in and day out with a national treasure actor. Didn't she ever consider taking advantage of him and admiring his attractiveness?
Yuri simply couldn't understand.
He was a top actor. Was it too humiliating for him to chase around a small assistant all day long?
...
Preparations for 'W.H.' were nearing completion. During this time, Tiffany had disappeared from the limelight to focus on studying her script.
But, two days before heading on set, she received news that 'Stupid' had settled on an official release date. This was the first movie she ever participated in, so it meant a lot to her.
"It will be released in June. You are expected to take part in promoting it."
"Of course..." Tiffany smiled. "By the way, I heard you actually signed Min-ho up to be a trainee for Crown Empire?"
"His name is now Yun-ho, it's a stage name that he picked for himself. It appears he actually has the intention to separate himself from the Hwang Family."
"Don't you dare open a backdoor for him!"
"My expectations have always been strict, even with you. So he is no different," Taeyeon said as he hugged his wife. "No one can expect immediate success, I'm sure Min-ho understands this. But I must say, his voice is very unique."
"Don't worry, I will definitely present you with a satisfactory result for 'W.H.'"
"There are a lot of explosion scenes in the film - be careful," Taeyeon reminded. He then added as he kissed her, "Yuri has taken Sooyeon, so I doubt you'll be getting her back. As for Sunny, her and Sooyoung are currently trying for a baby, so I don't think she can continue running around with you either. So, I will try my best to find you another assistant."
"I just need someone that knows what they're doing," Tiffany didn't have high expectations for her assistant.
She didn't need someone with a temper nor someone that talked too much. In fact, if she didn't need to place her energy on the film, she would not need an assistant at all.
"You don't know how badly I want to go with you..."
"With Yuri and Suho around, you don't need to worry."
Taeyeon did not respond. He simply hugged her tighter.
"President Kim, you are becoming more and more childish...I'm only going out to film for a while."
"But, without you by my side, I can't eat and can't sleep...I've already gotten used to having you in my life," Taeyeon replied gently. "Hurry home after filming is completed. I'll visit you on set when I have time."
Tiffany was helpless around him. "I'll leave my mother and Min-ho in your hands then."
"We are husband and wife. I would do it even if you didn't ask me to..."
Meanwhile, fans of Tiffany hadn't seen her for a while and were missing her dearly. So, they began leaving messages on Taeyeon's social media page.
_"President Kim, hand over our Little Miss Tiffany, we haven't seen her for a long time!"
_"Could they be making babies?"
_"What up-and-coming projects will Tiffany be involved in, President Kim? We really miss her."
Seeing these messages, Tiffany couldn't help but take a photo of herself. She then posted it onto Taeyeon's account with the caption,
"Little Miss Tiffany is right here."
When Sooyeon saw that Tiffany got a new assistant, she was both stunned and broken-hearted.
Her mission to take care of Yuri was supposed to end once he started filming. So, she originally expected to return to Tiffany's side. But, who would have thought, Tiffany would end up getting a new assistant.
It was reasonable though. After all, she was meant to be a temporary assistant from the start. So, how could she dream of remaining by Tiffany's side.
"What are you daydreaming about?" Yuri asked as he watched Sooyeon walk ahead.
"Fany unnie got a new assistant. So, I think it's time I retreat," Sooyeon replied as she turned to look at Yuri. Her expression swept over with disappointment.
"She has an assistant...but, I don't," Yuri said as he looked down at her, "Don't tell me, following me isn't as good as following her... Look at her new assistant. She isn't as pretty as you and couldn't possibly be smarter than you. Shouldn't you show her what you're capable of and make her regret finding someone new?"
Sooyeon remained silent...
She was actually quite hurt. After all, Tiffany didn't even give her prior warning. It was like she didn't care.
"Forget it. You make it seem like following me is a huge torture. I won't force you..."
After speaking, Yuri pulled his luggage behind him, ready to leave. At this moment, Sooyeon suddenly reached out her hand and stopped him.
"You're on your own..."
"I've always been on my own. Either you be my assistant, or I continue on my own," Yuri replied straightforwardly.
Sooyeon glanced at Tiffany and her new assistant and then looked back at Yuri. Finally, she nodded her head, "Fine then, I'll be your assistant."
"There's no point saying it. I've prepared a contract, let's sign it first..."
Sooyeon: "..."
At this time, Sooyeon finally realized Yuri was a man of action; it was quite frightening how quick he was.
Did he perhaps want to sign her a long time ago? Otherwise, why did he already have a contract and why did he carry it around with him?
"At least give me some time to look over it."
"What's there to look at? Your salary will be double, so sign it!" Yuri directly flipped to the last page of the contract and handed Sooyeon a pen.
Sooyeon was quite surprised, but she still ended up signing. Actually, if she had taken the time to note the details of the contract, perhaps...she would not have signed a 30 year contract without knowing.
The impatient Yuri quickly put away the contract and revealed a rare smile. He then led Sooyeon over to Tiffany.
Without looking suspicious, Tiffany acted like nothing happened as she played along with Yuri's act, "Sooyeon...because we couldn't confirm when you'd be back, Tae got Se-ra to be my assistant."
"That...that's OK..."
"She's already signed on with me," Yuri proclaimed before he dragged Sooyeon away. As they left, Tiffany couldn't help but giggle.
Life was like a movie that depended on acting...
No wonder Yuri managed to become a national treasure actor.
"Don't you think you were a bit too fierce in front of Tiffany? She didn't do anything wrong..."
"She doesn't want you, isn't that wrong?"
"She didn't say that she doesn't want me. In fact, she's already helped me enough in the past. Please don't hold a grudge against her," Sooyeon said in seriousness.
"If you don't want me to hold a grudge against her...I will need to see how you perform."
Sooyeon had absolutely no idea she was being tricked. Actually, as a cousin of Taeyeon's, Yuri had the same unapproachable aura as him. Of course, Taeyeon's methods were hidden in secret whilst Yuri's was out in the open. This was because he was impatient and lazy...
His thoughts were simple. He simply felt no one was more suited to Sooyeon than himself.
...
It didn't take long before 'W.H.' held their launch ceremony in secret. As the producer, Taeyeon also attended. In reality, Taeyeon had higher hopes for 'W.H.' than for 'Stupid'.
This was because the disaster genre in the domestic market was still lacking. If Crown Empire managed to produce a masterpiece, it would be very meaningful for both him and Tiffany.
"President Kim, thank you so much," Suho thanked Taeyeon wholeheartedly. "It's not that I didn't try to ask other people, but whenever I mentioned money..."
"My judgment has always been right," Taeyeon said in confidence.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Tiffany..."
Suho understood what Taeyeon was worried about. After all, the incident that happened with 'Hidden Expert', happened right in front of his eyes. It was something he'd be haunted by for the rest of his life.
"Also, control Yuri a little. Once his on set, the only person he will listen to is the director."
"Leave it with me."
"When the time is right, I will start promoting the film." Timing was important, especially since someone new would become famous everyday and someone old would be forgotten at the same time.
Suho was never worried about the marketing side of things. As for the way Crown Empire operated, they could only exceed his expectations, not disappoint.
"Let's see how Tiffany performs. If 'W.H.' gets released during the second half of the year, she can definitely try for the best newcomer award."
In reality, if Crown Empire really wanted it, they could simply ask for it. But, over the years, Crown Empire never once interfered with the voting process.
"Even though she's my wife, she will need to depend on herself."
After hearing Taeyeon's words, Suho did not comment any further. It was clear to see how much faith Taeyeon had in Tiffany. It also hinted that Tiffany was indeed capable.
"The first scene will be a big scene. Do you want to watch it before you leave?"
"No need, I want to leave it as a surprise for later," Taeyeon turned around, whispered something in Tiffany's ear and left.
As soon as Taeyeon left, Tiffany immediately began to feel empty inside...
But, it didn't take long before she found a distraction. Just like Suho said, the first scene was indeed big.
The village had just been infected with the virus and everyone was investigating the cause. The husband portrayed by Yuri would spend all day treating patients at the hospital and then lock himself in the bathroom for 2 hours after returning home every night.
The writer wife portrayed by Tiffany started off with nightmares about her body deteriorating away. Then one day, she stepped into the bathroom and was met with a putrid smell as well as her husband's back facing her weirdly.
The couple owned a pet Labrador. But, the Labrador had been chasing the husband around for the past few days, so the wife had no choice but to lock it up in a cage.
"Lately, the village hasn't been very safe. Try your best not to leave the house."
The wife looked at her husband's back suspiciously and slowly approached him. Just as she was about to check what he was doing, he suddenly turned around...
The wife jumped up in fright...
Tiffany's first appearance on the screen was a close-up of her frightened face...
The production crew never thought Tiffany would be so good at acting scared. Her face was pale like she had actually seen something terrifying...
As for everyone on set, they felt themselves sweating in suspense...
The reason why Tiffany played this scene so well was because she had practiced it hundreds of times at home.
Her seriousness striked up the interest of Yuri!
While Tiffany acted with Yuri, Sooyeon and Bong Se-ra stood to one side. Sooyeon glanced at Bong Se-ra and said, "Fany unnie is a really nice person, I hope you can take good care of her."
"Don't worry, I will." Bong Se-ra
"You also need to take note of the things she dislikes!"
Bong Se-ra smiled, "To be honest Sooyeon, I'm quite envious of you."
"Envious of me? Why?" Sooyeon was confused. "You shouldn't be envious of me. The first half of my life was filled with suffering."
"Actually, I would have loved to be Yuri's assistant..." Bong Se-ra said as she pointed to Yuri with her chin. "But, he only wants you. You are the first assistant he's ever had. The only one."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, I once applied to be his assistant back when he was still in a small agency, but he said that he didn't require one. It's almost been 10 years since that time and he indeed has not had anyone by his side until now. You have been the only one," Bong Se-ra explained patiently.
"The only reason why I was asked to be Tiffany's assistant is because Yuri asked to take you from Tiffany."
"Huh?" Sooyeon was shocked as Bong Se-ra finished talking.
This...was Bong Se-ra's way of getting revenge on Yuri for disregarding her in the past.
Good luck, Yuri! she thought
...
After the first scene finished filming, Yuri's body was soaked in blood - real blood! The iron-like smell was beginning to make him feel sick, but his assistant was nowhere to be seen.
After covering Tiffany with a light blanket, Bong Se-ra turned to Yuri and said, "Sooyeon was saying she wanted to leave..."
"Leave? Why?" Yuri furrowed his eyebrows questioningly.
"She found out that you tricked her into signing a contract," Bong Se-ra replied straightforwardly.
Tiffany let out a laugh as she left with her assistant. Yuri completely disregarded the blood on his body and immediately rushed over to the hotel to stop Sooyeon who was already dragging her luggage out the door,
"Where are you going?"
"Home," Sooyeon replied angrily.
"You only signed your contact not long ago, how could you go home? You're not allowed..." Yuri grabbed Sooyeon's luggage and dragged it back towards the set.
But, because Sooyeon was in a rush and didn't zip her luggage up properly, it suddenly burst open and some of the contents came flying out. Worst of all, some of the undergarments she had packed neatly away, were now strewn across the floor...
Sooyeon's expression immediately changed. Meanwhile, a few members of the production crew held in their laughter as they looked at Yuri's face. "Yuri, you dropped your underwear," one of them pointed out.
Yuri froze and took a quick glance at the production crew before bending over casually and picking the underwear off the floor. He then continued walking ahead...
Sooyeon's face was as red as a pork liver as she chased after him and yelled, "Yuri, give me back my stuff!"
"I'll give it back to you if you don't leave!" Yuri said as he held onto her underwear.
"Can you be anymore shameless?" Sooyeon asked as she grinded her teeth.
"I only want results. Shame? I don't know what that is..." Yuri replied calmly. At this moment in time, his expression was exceptionally calm. His face did not blush, nor did his heart race with embarrassment, "Do you still want your heart-printed underwear back?"
"You have no shame! Fine, I give up! Give it back," Sooyeon tried to jump up and grab her underwear. "Aren't you embarrassed for a 32-year-old man?"
"Let me ask you, what's so bad about working for me?" Yuri held tightly to the item in his hand and placed it to his chest as he asked.
"Why must you
