"Seo Kangjun wants to leave!?"
"Of course he wants to leave an agency like this. If he stays around, he is only waiting to be destroyed."
"But if Seo Kangjun leaves, what will happen to Cha Jooeun?"
"Cha Jooeun is still a model of Sublime."
Hearing that Kangjun wanted to leave, the reporters slowly started whispering amongst themselves. He couldn't be blamed for wanting to leave. After all, he had already revealed all of Sublime's secrets.
Regardless of whether what he said was the truth, Sublime would definitely suffer a loss. Every single incident he mentioned was bound to leave a permanent stain on Sublime's name and be endlessly dug up and used by opponents until Yeji was completely destroyed. Since Kangjun had already gotten to this point with Yeji, there was no way he would be able to continue working with her.
"Kangjun, do you think after leaving Sublime, someone else would want you? You ignored the company's interests and exposed our secrets, do you think you could continue in this industry?" Yeji asked. Her voice was sharp but trembling and her words were harsh and unpleasant.
"No one will want you, no one..." She roared from behind the bodyguards.
But so what? Kangjun's expression had never been so calm. All the struggles and pain he had endured were finally in the past.
So he simply smiled as he responded to Yeji. "Since I've decided to leave Sublime, I had no intention of continuing on as a manager. Yeji, you spent your entire life trying to control others, yet you've never succeeded. In the process, you've instead lost yourself."
Kangjun's voice was gentle and firm. From the moment he announced he was leaving, he had already been reborn. In the end, he turned to face the reporters one last time and bowed before looking at Jooeun.
"Cha Jooeun is a truly amazing woman. At least to me, she is amazing. She is someone that upholds her responsibility and maintains her individuality even in such a glamorous industry. She can't possibly be the 'slut' that Yeji and the paparazzi keep calling her. She enjoys walking on the runway because she believes it is her destiny. She originally wanted to use Sublime as a platform for achieving her dream, but all she got, in the end, was the endless pain caused by Seo Yeji. Towards Yeji, I really have no words. I just have one thing I would like to ask of everyone. The reality is, Sublime has hurt Jooeun more than they have helped her. From now on, whenever an article is released by Sublime regarding Cha Jooeun, I would like to request that you don't believe it, you can't believe it."
Finally, Kangjun faced Jooeun and asked "What do you plan on doing?"
Jooeun laughed. She said from the start, she was only here today to help a friend. "I need to return to London, can you speed up a little?"
The reporters laughed as they realized Jooeun's attitude towards things. She was indeed someone that did not like to attract trouble. She was honest and always kept her promises. At a time like this, she had no intention of striking back at Yeji. It was clear to see that her tolerance was something worth admiring. Even with the ongoing battle, she still managed to keep herself out of the situation. It was obvious, she truly wanted everyone to pretend she wasn't there. At this moment, her main priority was to help Kangjun rediscover himself. As for what Yeji owed her, she was going to deal with it later.
"Kangjun, you can't leave. You will be breaching your contract. Don't forget, you will need to compensate triple the amount if you leave now!"
Yeji's conceited attitude made her believe that Kangjun's name would be completely tarnished after leaving Sublime, and because of this, he would no longer be able to survive in the industry. Perhaps, he had lost his opportunity to be a manager ever again. But that didn't mean his life was destroyed.
He didn't get a chance to say anything before a few men dressed in black entered Sublime's main hall. They were foreign men dressed in stylish suits. From the looks of it, they were also bodyguards.
Afterward, a middle-aged man approached Yeji with the 4 bodyguards and smiled. "Actually President Seo, I really need to thank you. As my most capable student, I've long wanted to send Kangjun to pursue a career in the US. He has a natural talent for the film. So I am planning to send him to the US to be a director. He has a promising future in Hollywood. As for your modeling agency, you can continue having fun with it on your own."
So this was Kangjun's decision and plan. Jooeun finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Eh? Do you guys recognize this man?" One of the reporters had a good eye and immediately recognized the middle-aged man in front of them before squealing, "He is the famous director, Zachary Snyder!"
"Who would have imagined, not only has Seo Kangjun been a great manager, he even has other talents."
"Then hasn't Sublime embarrassed themselves too badly this time? Here, Seo Yeji was thinking Seo Kangjun was going to starve to death after leaving Sublime. Meanwhile, he was already scouted by a famous director. Just like that, he was snatched from right under their nose."
"What an awesome face slap!"
"I really hope a better agency also snatches Cha Jooeun away!"
GK Entertainment.
Jeonghwan was sitting in his office watching the entertainment news. Seeing Jooeun acting as a human barrier for someone, he couldn't help but give a slight smile.
The internet was already in an uproar as fans started leaving comments in her fan club, telling her to quickly find another agency. She really couldn't continue working with Sublime. However, Jooeun felt this was actually the best time for them to work together. Because from now on, Yeji's every move would be under public scrutiny and she wouldn't be able to suppress her anymore.
Jeonghwan understood what Jooeun was thinking. But it didn't stop him from hoping for something else. Even though she did not leave with Kangjun right now, it didn't mean she had no other plans. Especially when one of the reporters blurted out that they wanted Jooeun to go to a better agency.
Jeonghwan was already planning something. Of course, he did not forget to be happy for Kangjun. Although he could no longer be a manager, Jeonghwan believed that Kangjun would be able to have a fresh start in a new city. They may even have a chance to work together in the future.
At this time, the important mission of looking through Jooeun's contracts was once again returned to his hands. Jooeun was always worried he'd get tired. But from now on, this was going to become the norm.
Sublime's building hall was a complete mess. Especially when Jooeun and Kangjun started to leave. Bohyun watched as the two headed for the exit in front of the reporters. In his eyes, Jooeun and Kangjun were leaving this room stepping all over Yeji's wounds.
Could they really leave just because they wanted to? When were things ever that easy?
Everyone had neglected this Artists Director that was standing to the side. However, out of everyone in Sublime, he was the one that everyone should be most afraid of.
