Chapitre 13: You're so cool

An incoming call disturbed Soohyun's attention from the movie she was watching on the television. Muting the television and putting down her packet of popcorn, Soohyun received the call after checking the caller's ID.

The call was from her manager, Jung Ryujin, and as much as Soohyun recalled, Ryujin wasn't a friendly character to her. As Soohyun mentioned it before, there was no one who was on Jiwoo's side.

Then again, if Soohyun was in Ryujin's face, she wouldn't have preferred to handle Jiwoo either. On the second thought, with Jiwoo's character, Soohyun would have had a fun time messing with her.

Cleaning up after Jiwoo's constant scandals and dealing with her troublesome, arrogant personality, one was bound to get fed up of the female and turn one's back on her.

"Moon Jiwoo, I have seen what you have recently done, and it had gained you a quite a number of fans. One of the brands had agreed to give you a position in advertisement provided that you behave yourself," Jung Ryujin spoke out sternly.

The relationship between artists and their managers were supposed to be congenial yet not a hint of warmth could be perceived in Ryujin's tone.

Gaining an ally would allow Soohyun to live longer in this life, and working for the public relation department in her previous life, it would be quite shameful for her if she didn't manage to divert Ryujin into her devoted friend.

"So, do you think I should take the job, unnie?" Soohyun asked, trying to sound sweet and loveable.

"You're asking for my opinion? Don't you think that I'll choose the worst option for you?" Ryujin questioned from the other side. Her tone sounded mocking.

It appeared that Jiwoo rejected the option Ryujin chose for her previously and even insulted her. This Moon Jiwoo— how stupid was she not to differentiate between foes and friends?

"Of course not, unnie! How can someone as beautiful, multi-talented, and kind-hearted as you choose the worst option for me? Whatever you select is the best for me!" Soohyun exclaimed. If she was a dog, her tail could be seen wagging around at this moment.

"You're most definitely not Moon Jiwoo. Who are you?" The solemnity could be perceived in Ryujin's tone.

"Unnie, I have thought for days and days, and realized it was my turn to become a better human. You have seen those videos online. Right, unnie? What do you think? Am I better now?" Her tone used made it seem like she was expecting a compliment from Ryujin.

Her sudden change managed to bring surprise into Ryujin, and it was noticeable in her voice as she voiced out, "This is better if you want to keep fans."

"Unnie, you're so cool even when giving a compliment! As expected of you! Now, what do you think? Should I take up the offer for job?"

"You should," Ryujin said concisely— her words chosen in order to test Moon Jiwoo.

Being on the middle of the spotlight was what Moon Jiwoo prefer, and in an advertisement, where her exact position was not confirmed, Jiwoo would've definitely declined it earlier. Ryujin was curious to hear how this Jiwoo would reply.
