Chapter 62: A LITTLE COMMOTION
"YOU BASTARD— don’t you know who Actress Jo Inha is?"
Of course, Wonyoung...
... didn’t know who Jo Inha was.
I don’t know all the actors, actresses, idols, and celebrities who debuted while I was in a coma yet. I’m still trying to familiarize myself with them. Which isn’t going well because I’ve only seen Dujun Sunbae-nim’s works so far.
Since he wasn’t familiar with Jo Inha, then the actress must have debuted fairly recently.
"It doesn’t matter whether I know Actress Jo Inha-ssi or not," Wonyoung said calmly. Well, at least, he was trying to stay calm. "Please tell her that I’ll make sure to let Actor Yun Dujun-ssi know about her good intentions. But I can’t accept a gift full of Omega’s pheromones since my boss is an Alpha. You’re not a kid, so you know what I’m talking about."
The dude looked surprised, and then tried to deny what Wonyoung had just said.
"W-What pheromones? I don’t know what you’re talking about!"
"Sure, buddy."
"Yah. Why did you suddenly drop the honorifics?"
"I can’t keep talking to you formally when you’ve been talking down to me from the start," Wonyoung said. "Respect begets respect. That means if you’re a douchebag to me, then I’ll be a douchebag to you, too."
"Are you being arrogant right now just because you are Actor Yun Dujun-ssi’s manager?"
"How about you? Are you being an insufferable son of a bitch just because you are Actress Jo Inha-ssi’s manager, huh?"
"Did you just curse at me?"
"What are you going to do about it?"
"Hah!"
As expected, the big guy immediately swung his hand as if to slap Wonyoung.
If I were still the broke university student that I was years ago, I would have just let this bastard hit me and collect the settlement fee later.
But that wasn’t the case anymore.
"You attacked first," Wonyoung said coldly after grabbing the dude’s arm. "What I’m about to do is self-defense, okay?"
***
YUN DUJUN wasn’t new to doing action scenes.
Hence, he instantly got it after the action scene choreographer instructed him about what to do during the fight.
He only needed to practice once, and then it was time for the real thing.
For his cameo role, he had just to disarm the opponent wielding a knife.
Yun Dujun reached behind to grab the attacker’s hand as he charged, then he twisted the hand holding the knife in the opposite direction and bent it behind the assailant’s back.
Of course, he did it in a flashy way while making sure the cameras captured his angle well.
"ARGHHH!"
The enemy let out a blood-curdling scream as his body naturally spun around.
Then Yun Dujun lifted the twisted arm of the assailant higher while tripping his feet, causing the enemy to slam face-first into the ground. He maintained a stoic face while pressing down on the assailant’s back with his knee.
"You twisted my arm, you bastard!"
Yun Dujun ignored the assailant’s cries as he nonchalantly took the knife from him, and then he lifted his head to meet Seo Cheolmin’s gaze. Then he dropped his one line in a calm and cool manner, his clear voice echoing in the warehouse. "Don’t let your guard down, comrade."
Seo Cheolmin, whose one eye was barely open, beamed. "Comrade!"
"AND CUT!"
Yun Dujun immediately stood up after he heard Director Gong Joonho yell.
He helped the extra whom he ’beat up’ stand, and it seemed to have flustered him.
"Are you alright, sir?" Yun Dujun asked politely. "I didn’t hurt you, did I? If I do, then I apologize."
"Oh, I’m not hurt. Please don’t apologize, Actor Yun," the extra said while waving his hands. "Thank you for asking, though."
Yun Dujun just bowed politely.
After checking on the extra, he then went to Seo Cheolmin.
"You worked hard, Sunbae-nim."
"I should be the one saying that, Dujun-ah," Seo Cheolmin said while patting Yun Dujun’s shoulder. "Thank you for coming here, even though you were on vacation."
"It’s nothing, Sunbae-nim," Yun Dujun said. "Plus, I like working with Director Gong."
"I know, right? Director Gong is also the reason I accepted this project, even after I said I was done with noir."
"Aww. It makes my heart swell with pride and happiness to hear two of our country’s top actors say that about me."
It was Director Gong Joonho, of course.
And, yes, both Cheolmin Sunbae-nim and I knew the director was coming our way.
Hence, the talk.
Socializing is also a must-have skill if you want to succeed as an actor.
"First of all, you did well, Dujun-ah. As expected, you only need one take to perfect your scene," Director Gong Joonho said proudly. "Thank you for showing up. Really. I mean it."
Yun Dujun gave the director a small smile. "It’s too early to thank me, Director. Are you on a break now? Daepyonim and I prepared a small gift for you all. We called a catering service for everyone."
"If that’s the case, then..." Director Gong Joonho looked around. "Everyone, let’s take a break first! Actor Dujun-ssi called a catering service for us!"
The staff members, the extras, and the other actors all cheered.
But the cheer soon stopped when they heard a loud scream from outside.
"STOP IT, Oppa!"
A female voice?
"Was that Jo Inha?" Seo Cheolmin asked, furrowing his brows. "I think that was her."
At that point, Yun Dujun didn’t care about the commotion happening.
He was already busy scanning the place to look for Bae Wonyoung.
But he didn’t find his Omega among the crowd, which was weird because he was confident that Bae Wonyoung would watch him film his action scene.
That was when Yun Dujun noticed that Spencer Choi and Nana weren’t there, too.
Oh.
Oh, no.
"Dujun-ah, where are you going?!"
Yun Dujun didn’t want to ignore Seo Cheolmin, but he couldn’t be bothered responding— not when he had a bad feeling that Bae Wonyoung was the center of commotion outside.
***
OKAY, Wonyoung underestimated himself.
No, he didn’t lose.
He managed to hit the big dude between his legs.
But Wonyoung also got hit in the face when he got distracted, and he got distracted because Nana and Spencer Choi suddenly came out.
"Wonyoung-ah!"
"I’m fine... aw."
Wonyoung realized then that he had a busted lip.
This bastard...!
He held back from attacking the big guy because Nana literally threw herself between Wonyoung and the bastard.
"Let me see," Nana said while looking at Wonyoung’s face. "Your handsome face..."
Tsk.
Wonyoung could taste blood in his mouth.
I really want to hit that bastard again.
"We were wondering why you were taking so long, so we checked on you. I’m glad we did," Spencer Choi said calmly while looking back and forth between Wonyoung and the big guy. "Wonyoung-ssi, should I call the police?"
"What police?!"
That wasn’t Wonyoung.
It was the big guy who panicked after hearing Spencer Choi mention the police.
Is this dude crazy? Even though he didn’t recognize Daepyonim as the CEO of Hanbyeol Entertainment, can’t he see the aura around Daepyonim?
Spencer Choi had the ’untouchable’ aura.
Like you know you’ll get fucked if you touch him.
But the big guy seemed to be dense because he really tried charging at Spencer Choi.
"STOP IT, Oppa!"
Aigoo.
Wonyoung was startled when they heard a loud yell.
I thought my eardrums burst...
Anyway, the woman who yelled was a beautiful young woman.
An actress?
Oh.
She must be Jo Inha-ssi, then.
Wonyoung didn’t expect the actress to be that young.
I think she’s younger than me?
Anyway, Jo Inha’s makeup was the same as Yun Dujun and the others.
Like she has been beaten up.
However, the actress was still wrapped in a jacket and a blanket.
So, it’s safe to assume that her scene hasn’t been filmed yet.
"What are you doing, Oppa?" Jo Inhasi scolded the big guy, even smacking him on the arm. "That’s CEO Spencer Choi of Hanbyeol Entertainment! Were you about to grab him by the collar?! Have you lost your mind?!"
The big guy flinched as if he had just realized his mistake.
Wonyoung almost scoffed.
So, that thug didn’t really recognize Spencer Choi.
"CEO Choi, I apologize on behalf of my manager," Jo Inha said, bowing her head politely. "Are you alright, sir?"
"I’m fine, but Actor Yun Dujun’s manager was hurt," Spencer Choi said. Although the CEO sounded calm, it was obvious that he was pissed. "But, admittedly, I don’t know the full story yet. I was just about to ask what happened here."
"That bastard cursed at me!" the big guy claimed, now literally pointing a finger at Wonyoung. "It was his fault for being rude first!"
Wonyoung was just about to defend himself, but...
"Bae Wonyoung!"
Oh.
Yun Dujun came running towards Wonyoung.
Aigoo.
"Are you alright..." Yun Dujun trailed off after taking a good look at Wonyoung’s face. "No, you’re not."
"I’m fine, Sunbae-nim— I hit him more," Wonyoung said, and then he grabbed Yun Dujun’s hand. "So, please don’t be mad."
Yeah— Yun Dujun had a murderous look on his face at the moment.
It had been a while since Wonyoung had seen that expression from the Alpha, so he was pretty nervous.
Even Spencer Choi and Nana looked like they didn’t know how to pacify Yun Dujun.
So, it’s up to me to calm him down.
"Sunbae-nim, I really landed more hits on that bastard— I mean, person," Wonyoung said, squeezing Yun Dujun’s hand gently. "I won, so be proud of me."
"Bae Wonyoung, this isn’t the time to joke around."
"I’m not joking around," Wonyoung said, and then he moved Yun Dujun’s hand and made the Alpha pat Wonyoung’s head. "I did well, Sunbae-nim."
I know I’m being silly, okay?
But Wonyoung also knew that Yun Dujun couldn’t stay upset if he was acting that way.
Sunbae-nim likes it when I’m being silly, after all.
However, Yun Dujun’s lips formed a thin line.
But only for a moment.
After a few seconds, the Alpha let out a sigh before calming down a bit.
Sunbae-nim still looks pissed, but at least, he doesn’t look like he’s going to kill anyone now.
Thank goodness.
"I’ll hear the story later," Yun Dujun said, holding Wonyoung’s hand. "Let’s get you treated first, Hoobae-nim.
Wonyoung wanted to say that he just needed to wash his face.
But he was surprised when he realized that a lot of people were watching them.
Oh, I made a scene...
Which, Wonyoung would realize later, helped him bag an audition.
All’s well that ends well.
