When Kang Woojin returned to the van, that is, back to reality, the world was the sa.
It was still the morning of the 2nd day, and Choi Sung-gun and the rest of Woojin's staff were busy with their tasks, while the van he was in was stuck in a traffic jam. Their destination was a shop in Cheongdam-dong. Nothing had changed from before he entered the void space. It felt like, perhaps, blinking an eye.
However.
For Woojin, who was opening and closing his fist, a lot of ti had passed and terrifying events had unfolded. It was the world of Jang Yeon-woo'. Woojin, expressionless, checked his inner state. Changed. It's hard to put it into words, but sothing was definitely engraved.
Sothing agile, bold, and upright.
It was a sensation Kang Woojin was experiencing for the first ti. His whole body felt sensitive yet flexible. It was different from vocals, cooking, or languages. If those were soft, this was harsh and rugged. It had a deep violence of the wilderness, akin to the underworld. The unfamiliar word hunting' felt familiar.
Dangerous.
In an instant, Woojin, deepening his poker face, reminded himself of his concept, making his identity thorough. This skill, just acquired, must be handled correctly. If held clumsily, problems could arise.
But it's okay.
It's not hard to control.'
Kang Woojin was the master of everything he possessed and had mastered the way to command them. Don't ss around, you only need to make shine. Kang Woojin mulled over mind control. It was always his practice.
Then.
-Swish.
He cooled his mind down. Then he reviewed what he had experienced in Jang Yeon-woo's' world. Repeated reading (experience) makes the role and his world vivid, and everything derived from it, including techniques, becos proficient to Kang Woojin. They beco easy to handle.
Hoo-
Martial arts' was the sa.
Later that day, around late lunchti.
The place was a building with a photography studio in Gangnam. Specifically, in the large building's underground parking lot. Kang Woojin's van stopped there. Soon, Woojin got out from the back door of the van.
-Swish.
Different from the morning, he was in full makeup, and his outfit and hair were perfect. Slightly combed back hair with a green knit and black slacks. It was clear that there was a shoot scheduled, and indeed, Kang Woojin had a shooting lined up in a few minutes.
It was for the Kang Woojin's Alter Ego' channel.
He needed to accumulate as many videos as possible before flying to the USA, and today was the official first shooting of Kang Woojin's Alter Ego's cooking content. Thanks to this, it was a rented photography studio, and future cooking content shootings were planned to be held in this rented studio.
Anyway.
Woojin.
Choi Sung-gun got out of the passenger seat and approached Woojin.
PD is already at the studio, so let's go up.
Yes, CEO~nim.
That mont.
-Squeak.
A familiar white van entered the underground parking lot, and the van, trying to turn left, slid towards Woojin's direction upon spotting him.
Then.
-Thunk!
A woman got out of the white van. It was Hwalin.
Hello- Hello, Woojin ssi.
She was also in full makeup. Her long hair was curled up, and she wore a thick khaki-colored bomber jacket. Behind them, a gray compact car entered the parking lot, and noticing it, Woojin casually greeted Hwalin.
Yes. Hello, you ca early.
Hwalin greeted him back just as indifferently.
Ah- There was no traffic jam.
However, her heart was beating non-stop.
Woojin is going to cook directly for , so I can't be late! Eek- What do I do, I'm nervous.'
Her chubby manager sighed softly beside her, revealing the truth internally.
She kept urging not to be late, but she pretends not to.'
Then, Choi Sung-gun including Woojin's team and Hwalin's team exchanged greetings briefly, before all moving towards the building's elevator for the shooting. A picture ford with about a dozen people surrounding Kang Woojin and Hwalin, who were standing side by side.
Kang Woojin and Hwalin disappeared soon after.
The problem was.
Again. Again, that bastard Kang Woojin.
In the underground parking lot, there were eyes secretly watching Kang Woojin and Hwalin. It was a man of unknown identity who entered the parking lot in the gray compact car late. But his condition was strange.
Hwalin is mine. She's mine.
He seed half-crazy.
The man inside the small car, reeking of cigarette sll, wore a black padded jacket and covered his face with a hood. His skin was dry. His beard was prickly. His pupils were slightly dilated. It was difficult to guess his age, but he appeared to be in his 30s.
In one hand, the man held a cara.
Fuck. Fucking son of a bitch. Asshole. Dirty bastard. Dare, dare to approach my Hwalin.
The cara's screen showed a recent two-shot photo of Kang Woojin and Hwalin. Soon, the man operated the cara. The photo on the screen changed. Hwalin leaving her house, getting in a car, entering or leaving a shop, and so on. Nurous photos of Hwalin were taken.
I even put up with Male Friend' Hwalin, you too. You're so casual. Why do you keep making angry, huh?
He began to bite his nails crazily. His fingers were already frayed. It seed like he often bit his nails. Whatever the case, after trembling slightly and biting his nails for a few minutes, he said.
I can't take it anymore. I can't. She needs to be punished.
He threw the cara onto the passenger seat and reached into a black bag placed there. Various clanging noises were heard. Soon, he took sothing out of the bag and put it into his jacket's inner pocket.
It was sothing silver and elongated.
Hwalin, you betrayed . Corporal punishnt. Yes, this is corporal punishnt. You need to be disciplined. Because you're too pretty.
It was an awl.
anwhile.

It was about reaching out overseas, not just a dostic release.
In other words, the project's influence would be trendous.
Accordingly,
[MovieIS] The place where director Ahn Ga-bok will reach the legendary peak is the Cannes Film Festival, the stakes are not small Who will be the actors joining besides Sim Han-ho?
The film industry dia's fuss began to intensify.
At the sa ti.
In a studio in Gangnam, where the Kang Woojin's Alter Ego' shoot was in full swing, Kang Woojin and Hwalin were facing each other in a studio that wholly resembled a kitchen. Specifically, Hwalin was seated at a straight table attached to the kitchen, while Kang Woojin, donning an apron, stood inside the kitchen.
It painted a picture reminiscent of a Japanese restaurant.
A setup where the guest can observe both the kitchen and the chef's cooking. Of course, Hwalin was the only guest. Several caras for the Kang Woojin's Alter Ego' channel were filming them, surrounded by PD, Choi Sung-gun, and other staff mbers.
Wow- The picture looks good.
Totally a beautiful couple, right?
Is it because of Male Friend'? Am I the only one finding these two sweet?
But they haven't dropped honorifics yet? Usually, after doing a project together, they beco close enough to drop honorifics, right?
Who knows?
While the staff whispered among themselves, Kang Woojin and Hwalin's filming continued. The style was to keep going without cutting even if there were NGs, hence why the shooting was quite prolonged. The current shooting concept was talk cooking. Woojin would have a proper conversation with the guest and then cook the desired dish.
Leading the talk was none other than Kang Woojin.
Hwalin ssi, what did you think when you first saw during Male Friend'?
I was surprised. At that ti, we didn't even think we'd be cast together. Then I was surprised by Woojin ssi's personality.
Personality?
Yes. How should I say this- I didn't expect you to be so reserved. But your voice was nice.
Um-
Oh, what's with that reaction?
Am I reserved?
Aren't you?
Of course, there was a predetermined list of questions, but the rest of the conversation was improvised by the two. To this, the cynical Kang Woojin asked.
Am I reserved now?
He was equipped with a poker face and his concept, but he was quite enjoying it. After all, he was talking with Hwalin.
It feels like having a conversation in a cafe, doesn't it? My friends would be so jealous.'
Hwalin was doing her best to struggle through. She had to suppress her fan feelings, after all.
Yes. No, you're similar when filming variety shows, aren't you?
An opportunity to talk one-on-one with her ultimate favorite? She felt like she was on a date with the person she's been fangirling over.
Woojin nim- Seeing you like this, you do show so expressions. Ah Is it already ti to end? That's disappointing.'
Thus, the two smoothly continued their shoot.
I tend to be quite high in energy, actually.
No, the word energy' shouldn't be associated with Woojin ssi. But it's also a complint, isn't it? People say you're a cold beauty, tsundere even. Honestly, that feels good, right?
It's not bad.
Soon, the PD outside the studio twirled his index finger in a circle. A signal to start wrapping up. Thanks to that, Kang Woojin tightened his apron again and changed the question.
Tell what dish you want to eat.
Um- Actually, I've been thinking a lot about it, but can it be jjamppong?
