HE RETURNED AS A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (PART ll)

Chapter 246: Fierce Attack (1)

Shin Yu-Bin strongly grabbed Kang Ra-Eun by the shoulders after the program recording had finished.

“Ra-Eun. You’re not feeling sick today, are you?”

She even put her hand on Ra-Eun’s forehead to check if it was burning up.

Ra-Eun stared at her weirdly-acting manager and asked, “What are you doing all of a sudden, Miss Manager?”

It did not feel good to be seen as some weirdo.

“Well, it’s because you suddenly made a pledge to shoot a kiss scene. You’ve always made sure to tell directors that you’d never shoot kiss scenes or revealing scenes no matter how much they begged you.”

Yu-Bin’s reaction was obvious, considering how long she had known Ra-Eun. Ra-Eun realized that her pledge had been truly impactful since her manager, whom she had worked with the longest, was acting like this.

“I did it because that’s how much I want this film to do well.”

If Ra-Eun were to weigh the importance between her revenge and a kiss scene, her revenge would most definitely weigh more. She could more than handle one kiss scene if she could fulfill her revenge with it. And if she really could, she was willing to do even two or three.

Yu-Bin stared in marvel at Ra-Eun. She had come to know many different people in the entertainment industry, but she had never met anyone more difficult to understand than Ra-Eun.

The news of Ra-Eun pledging to shoot a kiss scene if Spokesperson recorded ten million audience views spread throughout the public. Like Ra-Eun had expected, the reactions were explosive. People were predicting who the partner of her first ever kiss scene would be, and the most mentioned names were, as expected, Ji Han-Seok and Je-Woon. There were also many mentions of Min Se-Min and Tae-Chan.

Ra-Eun smiled bitterly as she checked the public’s reactions on the internet. She felt like she could understand why people were so interested in celebrities’ daily lives. Back when she had been a man, she had never understood why there were articles written about what clothes that a certain celebrity had worn to the airport and where they had gone for a trip, but she could more or less understand after becoming a celebrity herself.

‘Famous celebrities can’t even enjoy anything in private.’

No matter where they went, there were eyes on them. Ra-Eun had not yet felt the exhaustion coming from such attention, but she felt like it would certainly tire her out if it were to happen.

Ra-Eun had pledged to shoot a kiss scene, but not everyone welcomed the idea, including Seo Yi-Jun, who lived under the same roof as her.

Seo Yi-Seo suggested that they go watch Spokesperson tomorrow on its release date, but Yi-Jun answered, “I’m not gonna watch it.”

“Why not?”

He looked toward Ra-Eun and answered, “Because I don’t want Ra-Eun noona to shoot a kiss scene.”

It was a form of jealousy. Ra-Eun smirked.

“It’s not like I’m gonna get married to the person that I’m gonna kiss.”

“Even so... I don’t like it.”

It was not like Ra-Eun didn’t understand how Yi-Jun felt. She would also not like it if the partner that she liked were to kiss someone else, even if it was just acting.

“It’s not like it’s guaranteed to get ten million views. Also, getting ten million people into cinemas is harder than it sounds, don’t you think?”
