Seo Yea Ji's emotions were in turmoil as she stormed out of the airport. The betrayal she felt from Lee Soo Hyuk's actions left her feeling played and tricked. Manager Kim's presence didn't make the situation any better, and she had no desire to engage in conversation with him or Lee. She grabbed her suitcase and called for a taxi, eager to leave the situation behind. Her thoughts were a jumbled mess as she rode home, her mind racing with anger and stress. She knew she needed to calm down before she could properly focus on the problem at hand.

Upon arriving home, Seo Yea Ji immediately went to the bathroom and took a cold shower, hoping to clear her mind and cool her temper. Afterward, she made herself a sandwich and sat down at her desk, opening her laptop. She didn't want to engage with Lee or seek revenge, she couldn't ignore the situation entirely. She knew that Su-Ah's interview could potentially harm the reputation she and Lee had worked so hard to build. Despite her anger towards him, she was determined to protect what they had created and find a way to move forward.

Seo Yea Ji was seething with anger as she sat down at her desk and began typing out a statement to send to her agency. She knew she needed to act fast to protect her public image, and her email was concise and direct: Nang Unji's late-night show was trying to hurt her reputation by using Su-Ah as bait. She urged her agency to take legal action against the show and warned that if they declined, she would sue the agency as well.

After sending the email, Seo Yea Ji took a deep breath and gathered her thoughts before starting a live video stream. As she spoke, her frustration was clear, but she maintained a calm and collected demeanor. She acknowledged that Su-Ah had looked fresh and pretty in the interview, but expressed confusion about the lies she had told.

"I have watched the interview of Miss Lee Su-Ah on Nang Unji's late-night show," stated Yea-ji, "and she looked very pretty and fresh in the interview. Although, her statement confused me; since we are on excellent terms with Soo-Hyuk, and we even managed to work together flawlessly one more time. I cannot know the reason for Miss Su-Ah's lies, and since I know her brother I will not sue her. Although my agency cannot accept the misinformation that Nang Unji's late-night show was allowed to air, we are going to take all legal steps, and I guess we will take this to court. Bye all, thank you for supporting me."

She went on to explain that her agency could not accept the misinformation that Nang Unji's late-night show was allowed to air and that they would be taking all necessary legal actions. She thanked her fans for their support and signed off, determined to fight for her reputation and integrity. Seo Yea-Ji let out a deep sigh of relief as she leaned back in her chair. Dealing with issues like this was nothing new to her - after all, she had faced much more serious challenges while filming for Fallen. But despite her experience, she knew that she couldn't take this situation lightly.

Fortunately, she had managed to save both her own and Lee's public image with just two simple steps. Su-Ah would face some repercussions for her lies, but that was a small price to pay in Seo Yea-Ji's eyes. The real target of her wrath was Nang Unji's late-night show, which had attempted to drag her reputation through the mud.

By taking a stand against the show, Seo Yea-Ji knew that she was entering into a war with the powerful Nang family, and with Unji in particular. She could feel the weight of their influence and knew that there would likely be consequences for her actions. But she wasn't afraid - in fact, she was almost excited by the challenge. She needed a way to get closer to the Nang Fashion Agency, and this was the perfect opportunity to do so.

As she got ready for bed, Seo Yea-Ji couldn't help but smile to herself. It was almost thrilling to be at the center of such a conflict. She felt a sense of purpose and drive that had been missing for a while, and she was determined to come out on top. With a clear head and a strong will, she drifted off to sleep, confident that she could handle whatever challenges lay ahead.
