Chapter 136

"Chae Woo-Jin, have you also been dumped before?" What surprised Kim Woo-Hyung was the conclusion, rather than the confession about Woo-Jin's previous relationship.

"Unfortunately."

"Why?"

"There's only one reason why people break up. Isn't it because they don\'t love the other person anymore?"

"You mentioned that you got dumped earlier. So, what about you?" Instead of saying that they broke up, Woo-Jin chose to use the word 'dumped'. In other words, it meant that there was a possibility Woo-Jin might still be harboring romantic feelings for his former lover.

"It was hard for me back then because I wasn't ready to accept the break up. But judging by how I'm able to talk about it calmly now like it's nothing, it seems like I'm completely over her now." There was no sign of pain on Chae Woo-Jin's smiling face. It was nothing more than recounting a past experience.

"By any chance, do you think she regretted breaking up with you?"

Kim Woo-Hyung's question made Woo-Jin think about what Lee So-Hyun had previously said about starting over again. After hearing him call her a bitch, she started to behave strangely. She brought her boyfriend, who had already graduated, to a school gathering and bragged about the diamond ring he had given her in front of Woo-Jin. It was as though she was confident that she could hurt Woo-Jin through her actions. In the past, Woo-Jin wouldn\'t have understood her behavior and would have gotten flustered. But now that he understood it to a certain extent, he found her actions rather interesting.

"She's not the type of person who would dwell on a relationship after it has ended. And be it in the past or present, the fact that I'm Chae Woo-Jin hasn't changed. There's no reason for her to revisit old feelings. This story ends here. It's already been years since we've broken up; it's rather unexpected and meaningless to bring it up.

And on that note, Woo-Jin concluded his love story. There were a lot of people throwing questions at him; even though this was a topic that had to be brought up at least once, Woo-Jin didn't want it to become the main topic of discussion. Kim Woo-Hyung quickly caught on and stopped asking any more questions about his love life.

"Shall we get back to our original goal?"

"Publicity?"

"Chae Woo-Jin, it seems that you're not coy at all. Since you're here for publicity purposes, why didn't you appear on this program earlier? It has already been a few days since the release of Red Enemy." The movie was released three days ago and Street Date would only be aired in two days, so it couldn't be considered as a true publicity stunt.

"Kwon Eun-Mi and Oh Ha-Na appeared on the show last week, so I thought it would be good for me to be on the show this week."

In truth, Kwon Eun-Mi and Oh Ha-Na had already appeared on Street Date together and promoted the movie. However, the production crew had asked both of them to convince Chae Woo-Jin to appear on the show, so the two women kept badgering Woo-Jin, saying that there was nothing bad about promoting the movie. Ultimately, Woo-Jin decided to appear on the program as well. Woo-Jin and Kim Woo-Hyung left out all the details of this cumbersome process; they simply looked at each other and laughed it off.

"Last week, both of them said they had a very hard time shooting Red Enemy. How was it for you? According to them, you looked very relaxed, and they said they were very envious of you."

Kwon Eun-Mi, in particular, had to relearn the geonmu again and had a very difficult time. On the other hand, Woo-Jin had personally done all the paintings and calligraphy works himself without anybody's help on top of the geonmu. Yet, Kwon Eun-Mi and Oh Ha-Na said he never once looked like he was struggling, so they were envious and impressed.

"That's the result of me trying my best to look relaxed."

"I watched the movie yesterday. You did the paintings and calligraphy yourself without relying on a stand-in. It was really thrilling to watch the scene where the camera zoomed in from a long shot to a close-up. When we grab the brush, it shakes and ink drips onto the paper; how did you write so clearly? Additionally, I heard your handwriting and paintings were exactly the same as Prince Myeong-Hwan's remaining pieces!" asked Kim Woo-Hyung, who was feeling excited. Woo-Jin then replied with a relaxed smile on his face.
