"Hurry, let's go."

"Yeah, hold on tight, hyung."

Itaegyeom, who quickly fastened his seatbelt, stepped on the accelerator without hesitation. With confidence in his driving skills, Itaegyeom maneuvered the large celebrity van through traffic with acrobatic driving.

"But seriously, can't we just go to the hospital?"

That's the thing. Im Seunghyun glanced at the collapsed Yeonseo in the back. Although his body shook from the intense driving, he was thankfully secured with a seatbelt, so he was fine.

"We're not going to the hospital. Just take him home."

Im Seunghyun's voice didn't sound entirely convinced. He, too, was unsure if this was the right decision.

"Don't worry about the fake rumors. I'll handle it later."

"Yeah, I was thinking that way anyway."

When Itaegyeom abruptly turned the steering wheel, the van sharply swerved. Im Seunghyun held onto the handle above the passenger window tightly.

"Oh, senior. Are you busy? If you're not, can you come?"

Since he suddenly collapsed, they couldn't just let it pass without taking any measures. Im Seunghyun decided to leverage his limited connections.

With Itaegyeom's acrobatic driving, the travel time to Yeonseo's house was significantly shortened. They quickly crossed the parking lot, carrying Yeonseo and heading to the top floor.

"This way."

Following Im Seunghyun, Itaegyeom cautiously opened the door to the house. They carried Yeonseo gently and laid him on the bed.

"Is it better to change his clothes?"

They say to loosen belts and make the body comfortable for massages. Itaegyeom removed the filming outfit from Yeonseo. Im Seunghyun brought comfortable clothes from the dressing room.

At that moment, a loud bell rang from Itaegyeom's pants.

"Wait a moment. It's Director Park's call..."

"Answer it."

Itaegyeom picked up the call and turned on the speakerphone. On the other end, Park Sangtae's irritated voice echoed.

(Yeonseo messed up the shoot?!)

"Well, Director, it's just that..."

Taking the phone from Itaegyeom's ear, Im Seunghyun spoke quietly. What should they do?

"Hello, Mr. Park Sangtae, this is Im Seunghyun."

Silently extending his hand, Im Seunghyun took Itaegyeom's phone and responded. Although his tone was soft, there was something intimidating about his expression.

Director Park's voice quickly calmed down.

(Oh, hello, Secretary Im.)

"Yeonseo fainted."

(What?!)

It seemed like there might be someone else on the call as their voices overlapped. Im Seunghyun surreptitiously glanced at Itaegyeom, who was focused on massaging Yeonseo's forearm.

"It seems like he has post-traumatic stress from a traffic accident... Yeonseo doesn't want it to be known publicly, so I've kept the conversation vague on the set."

"Vague conversation? Didn't he say he was going home to feed the dog? Does Yeonseo really have a dog?"

Director Park, who was the assistant director for 'White Tiger,' and personally acquainted with Yeonseo, received a call immediately after Yeonseo left the filming site and contacted them.
