Chapter 838: Beginning of Change (3)
"Chief Yoon knows every shady thing about us. That's why we can't leave him."
The moment Bok Seon-Ill let out that confessional line, everyone's expression turned grim. When entertainers and talent agents—or singers and producers—worked closely for a long time, they naturally came to know each other's secrets.
Bok Seon-Ill was now confessing that those secrets had turned into weaknesses.
"If those secrets come out now... our careers as entertainers are over. So please, Chief Jung, cut us some slack this time."
Bok Seon-Ill hadn't taken a hostile stance toward me because he disliked the solution I presented. He was afraid that unless he pressured me, Chief Yoon Dong-Gu might spill his secrets.
Before the regression, I had no idea Yoon Dong-Gu was capable of this. I guess that old saying about not knowing what's in a person's heart was true for a reason. Still, it didn't change anything.

"What is that question? You came along to pressure Chief Jung because you were worried about that too, didn't you?"
Jeon Tae-Mi nodded. "Chief Yoon said it was a favor, but it really felt like a threat. That man knows my secret. Ugh, seriously, I shouldn't have asked for his help in the first place..."
