HE RETURNED AS A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (PART ll)

Chapter 220: Imaginary Couple (3)

Shin Yu-Bin dumbfoundedly asked as soon as she heard Kang Ra-Eun’s answer, “Really? Did you really just say that you would do it?”

“Yes.”

Yu-Bin couldn’t help but doubt her ears even after getting confirmation. She had thought that Ra-Eun would refuse this offer for sure. She was curious about the reason behind her unexpected answer.

“But why? You don’t like programs with these kinds of concepts.”

Yu-Bin had thought Ra-Eun absolutely despised programs where she was intertwined with men, and especially those that tried to create some sort of romantic mood between her and a man. However, Ra-Eun was not showing such a response this time, which she had several reasons for.

“Because I won’t feel as much pressure if my partner is Je-Woon sunbae.”

The two of them had become quite close since they had been in a drama and variety shows together.

‘Not only that, I need to get as much information I can out of Director Joo.’

Ra-Eun also had a political reason, but she couldn’t tell Yu-Bin this. GNF, the agency that Ra-Eun was affiliated with at the moment, maintained a policy of which their talents’ schedules reflected their desires. If Ra-Eun wanted to do it, the agency and Yu-Bin had to honor her decision and plan accordingly.

“Okay. I’ll give Director Joo another call and discuss it with him,” Yu-Bin remarked. She then softly laughed and mentioned, “I’m sure he’ll be ecstatic.” frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

He would likely feel as if he had won the lottery.

Like Ra-Eun and Yu-Bin had expected, Director Joo was so happy that he could fly. He then called Ra-Eun separately and thanked her repeatedly.

- Thank you so much, Ra-Eun! I’ll make sure to repay this favor no matter what!

The greater Director Joo was in her debt, the better it was for her. Ra-Eun had many things that she wanted to ask him. And of course, not about the imaginary marriage program that she would be in, but about Kim Han-Gyo.

‘Well, I can take my time asking about that.’

It was not too late to ask about it in small bits at a time once the shoot began. She hung up after letting Director Joo know that she would be in his care.

Ra-Eun then came out of her room and asked Seo Yi-Seo, who had come back from her parents’ home after helping out at the cafe, “Did everything go okay?”

“Yeah,” Yi-Seo answered.

However, her face did not seem to reflect her answer.

“What? Was there some sort of trouble?” Ra-Eun asked.

It was obvious to be worried about a close friend. Yi-Seo’s gaze shifted to Yi-Jun’s room. The door was slightly ajar. Ra-Eun could immediately tell what her friend was thinking without her saying a thing. She got up from her chair and walked over to Yi-Jun’s room. He had been up until late at night yesterday, so he was still in dreamland in his bed despite it already being noon.

Ra-Eun went back to her seat while being as quiet as possible so that he wouldn’t wake up.

“He’s sleeping right now, so he won’t hear a word of our conversation.”

She had even closed the door just in case. Yi-Seo thanked Ra-Eun and brought up her troubles with difficulty.

“Dad said that he’s thinking about closing down the cafe soon.”
