A Night Soaked With You - Chapter 3
Even in her haze, she could tell this was perfect.
It was very solid, large, and sturdy. Just one hit with this would send them to the underworld.
A smile crept onto Yeong-won’s lips. She tightened her grip on the club a little more, ready to strike the owner of that annoying voice, Yu Chae-young.
And just as she was about to swing it…
A cold voice pierced her ear like an arrow.
“So this is how you seduce someone these days?”
Her eyes flew open.
Yeong-won was an unknown actress. Eight years ago, she debuted as a teen actress and seemed to be gaining popularity, but after getting involved with the wrong agency, she was now living as a nameless actress taking minor roles.
Recently, a camera test offer came from a famous director that anyone in South Korea would recognize.
It was even a drama based on a webtoon that had become a hit, generating buzz even before the production stage.
And Yeong-won managed to pass through the needle-like competition to secure the role of the sub-female lead in that drama.
She was filled with dreams. If this went well, she could comfortably take care of her grandmother. She could escape the sorrows of being an unknown actress.
However, less than a week later, she lost the role to someone else.
Yu Chae-young.
An adversary who had debuted on the same day and had, for some reason, developed a strong dislike for Yeong-won, to the point where Yeong-won also came to hate her.
Having lost roles to Chae-young three times already, Yeong-won had called the director to express her grievances and even reached out to Chae-young to confront her.
– If you feel wronged, you should find someone to back you up. Isn’t it foolish to hope for a good role without an agency?
But all she received in return was a barrage of mockery and contempt.
She felt frustrated and angry.
Even with her eyes closed, a warm heat surged in her chest and head. At night, as she lay down, tears would flow endlessly.
She couldn’t bear to stay home in anger, so she sought solace with a friend and went to a rooftop bar.
‘Why is this man in front of me?’
This man was Seong Tae-geon, who had thrown her role to Chae-young, her rival and supporter.
She had only seen him in a blurry photograph, but his intense gaze and appearance were unmistakable.
Yeong-won blinked at the deep-set eyes right in front of her.
I was dreaming or I tried to escape from reality, but sadly, as time passed, my mind became clearer.
“Why aren’t you answering. I’m asking if you seduce like this.”
At his cold question, Yeong-won stammered in response.
“Uh, seduce?”
Instead of answering, Tae-geon simply stared at her. Yeong-won rolled her eyes and looked around. The luxurious wall decorations, the tables, the abandoned bottles of alcohol, and the long chair. Only then did Yeong-won realize that she was lying on a rooftop bar chair, resting her head on Tae-geon’s thigh.
She was even gripping his important area.
“Eek!”
As she grasped the situation, she sprang up like a spring, barely managing to straighten herself. Tae-geon merely watched her, showing no intention of helping, as he sat up.
I’m crazy. I’m crazy. What on earth was I touching.
Flustered, Yeong-won took deep breaths, repeatedly clenching and unclenching her hands. It felt like the overwhelming sensation still lingered on her palm.
The second hand had barely completed a full rotation before Tae-geon’s interrogation began.
“So, what was your purpose in approaching me?”
Purpose?
She was the one who was now curious about why she was here, how she ended up lying on this man’s thigh, and why she had been touching his body like a pervert.
Yeong-won slowly began to recall her memories.
So, today, Yeong-won had gone to the rooftop bar because Yuna offered to buy her a drink.
Looking at the sparkling night view, sharing the stories she had kept inside made her feel a little better.
