Kang Ra-Eun had been so focused on preparing for her fierce attack against Kim Han-Gyo that she had momentarily forgotten about Je-Woon’s love confession to her a few months ago during a variety program shoot. The memories had returned to her after he laid out his condition.
It was no wonder for Je-Woon, who saw Ra-Eun as a woman and not just his junior, to not want anyone else but himself to be the partner for her very first kiss scene. Having not expected his condition at all, Ra-Eun was lost for words. Her bewilderment was obvious just from her face.
Je-Woon spoke first to lift the awkward air, “I’m not asking you to do it with me no matter what, but I’d just like to reserve it. After all, your partner might not be me based on which production you and I decide to star in.”
“That’s true.”
Nothing was certain in this world. A simple mismatch in their schedules could make this condition completely null. Ra-Eun couldn’t wait forever to fulfill a promise with Je-Woon, which was why he had suggested a reservation instead of a sure promise.
“If you don’t want to, then you can just refuse. Even if you do, I’ll still fulfill your request,” Je-Woon said.
He was planning on helping her whether or not she agreed to his condition. Ra-Eun felt thankful to him, but also thought that it would be better to do it with someone who thought amicably of her rather than a complete stranger.
“But sunbae. If, like you said, I end up doing the kiss scene with someone else, what then?”
Je-Woon answered jokingly, “Then why don’t you kiss me twice to make up for the one that I missed?”
“...”
“It was just a joke, so don’t take it so seriously.”
He had made a joke to lift the air, but it had gotten even more awkward instead.
***
Ra-Eun did not ask only Je-Woon for this favor. She met with every single celebrity whom she had consolidated a relationship with until now to ask them to support Congresswoman Hong Oh-Yeon. Of course, not all of them accepted her request; politics was such a sensitive topic that most celebrities tried not to get involved in it.
That was the correct choice. It was good for celebrities to display their individualities, but nothing came out of revealing their political inclinations. Hence, Ra-Eun had requested them after very careful consideration.
Only celebrities that were very close to Ra-Eun, such as Tae-Chan, Min Se-Min, Rita, Han Ga-Ae and a few others, decided to accept her request, along with Ji Han-Seok, who had worked with her for a very long time.
“I heard from my grandfather that you’re hell-bent on dropping Congressman Kim Han-Gyo in the general election,” he said.
“Yes, that’s right,” she boldly admitted.
There was no point in denying it after coming this far. Like his grandfather, Han-Seok also did not know the details of what had happened between Ra-Eun and Han-Gyo, but the reason did not matter when it was Ra-Eun who was asking him for a favor. There was no need to even think twice.
“Okay. I’ll help out too,” Han-Seok agreed.
“Thank you very much, sunbae.”
Han-Seok had also joined in on her plan like she had expected.
