Chemistry, aka chemistry. It is used to describe how good the harmony or chemistry between the characters in a drama is. In these days when so many dramas are being released, it can be said to be one of the important factors that determine the success or failure of a drama.
〈Madman〉 had bad chemistry. Yoon Tae-oh, who is scary and heavy with his dark image, and Choi Hyun-jin, the frail beta protagonist. Wasn't it a typical and predictable picture that we've seen sowhere before? There was nothing special that we couldn't see anywhere else.
But now, their chemistry seems different.
“I, I’m the eldest son and I have to support my younger siblings, so I can’t take a day off from work... I’ll compensate you sohow...!”
“Compensation is a given, and if you do sothing wrong, shouldn’t you be punished? You don’t have a license.”
“Still... Wait! Over there!”
Choi Hyun-jin clings to Yoon Tae-oh while crying. Yoon Tae-oh takes out his cell phone as he watches Choi Hyun-jin like that.
“Yes, there’s an accident here. Please co quickly. The address is....”
Choi Hyun-jin's resistance to snatch the cell phone from Yoon Tae-oh's hand was not enough. It was only natural, considering the other person was that ignorant guy. When Yoon Tae-oh made a call, Choi Hyun-jin's body quickly collapsed and fell to the floor. Then, he had a blank expression as if he had lost the world. ... No matter what, that crazy guy is still like that. Is he really going to report it? Wait, I shouldn't be doing this. I should call the insurance company.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”
I approached Choi Hyun-jin, who was sitting with a tearful face, and spoke to her. She had been hit so hard that the hood of her car was completely dented, so there might be sothing wrong with her body. She might not have realized it yet because of the shock of the accident.
“Am I really being caught...?”
“That... I’m good at it too....”
"It's only been two days since I started work," "I got a house from the store," "Am I going to go to jail like this?" These words flowed out of Choi Hyun-jin's mouth as if he were talking to himself. With each word, as if he was awakened to his bleak reality, transparent tears poured out of his eyes, and it seed as if my heart was weakening.
“I don’t know what you did right to be crying. You don’t even have a license.”
It is entirely Choi Hyun-jin's fault for committing the cri.
“Co here, Secretary Kim. Why are you standing there?”
But since Yoon Tae-oh treats her so coldly, I feel like he's the villain for no reason. But, still... I feel an inexplicable discomfort. What is this feeling that's familiar yet unfamiliar?
“Really... did you report it?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
When I approached him at the sound of his voice calling and asked him in a low voice, Yoon Tae-oh answered calmly. You... even use the power of public authority. I always thought you solved it by putting it in a drum and throwing it into the sea.
“Still... a little bit...”
Objectively, Yoon Tae-oh's response was right. If he hadn't done that, I should have stepped in and done that. However, if that person were Choi Hyun-jin, it would be different. Not soone else, but an alpha who put my future partner in a cell...? Isn't this a story that can never be elevated to romance?
“They’re coming.”
The police in our country are so great. Less than 5 minutes after the report was made, the police car and the ambulance arrived. And what was even more amazing was the insurance company. After Yoon Tae-oh reported the incident, he called and the insurance company car was in the front. After all, money is everything.
“Oh my, how did the car end up like this... Are you hurt? The car might have to be scrapped.”
The insurance agent explained the condition of the car as if he was looking at a terrible scene. At first glance, it looked like it was completely destroyed and beyond repair. And if I repaired the car and gave it to Yoon Tae-oh, I would be scrapped.
“Who was driving?”
The police who arrived later also checked the scene and looked for the driver. Even the restaurant entrance was badly damaged, so the damage must have been enormous. Choi Hyun-jin, who had been lying on the floor, was now standing in a corner far away, with her head bowed as if she was going to bury her face in the ground. Even from afar, you could clearly sense that she was shaken by the police's voice.
"I."
I would be lying if I said I didn't feel sorry. However, that was the extent of my feelings. After all, it was Choi Hyun-jin who started this. But maybe I'm just being too self-centered. ... When I see Yoon Tae-oh acting so rashly.
“Representative...?”
“Right, Secretary Baek?”
He lied with a very strange expression. He forced to agree with him. Of course, all I could do was nod my head. ... No matter how I looked at it, Yoon Tae-oh’s expression was... strange. I’ve seen it before...?
“That person is a patient. Take him to the hospital.”
Over there is Choi Hyun-jin. He also seed to not understand the situation that had just happened, and he looked at and Yoon Tae-oh with a bewildered look. However, without much resistance, he followed the ergency worker who was leading and got into the ambulance.
“Just take care of it, Secretary Baek.”
“...Ah, yes.”
The way he was talking about it seed like the person who was just running out of the store was the owner of the restaurant. He was probably giving them so money and asking them to co to an agreent.
As expected, I was right. A feeling of discomfort in a corner of my heart. Yoon Tae-oh's attitude was sohow strange yet familiar. Perhaps it was about this current situation.
I was finally able to realize it properly. Yoon Tae-oh, who never showed kindness to anyone, was quite kind to Choi Hyun-jin. And also... I realized that that kindness was similar to the attitude he sotis showed . Unfortunately, the person that kindness was directed at would now be Choi Hyun-jin. I had to be sure of that because of Yoon Tae-oh’s attitude a little while ago. No matter how they t, in the end... they would love each other.
“You go in first, sir.”
I used my fingernails to scrape off the band that was sticking to my palm, making it sticky.
❖ ❖ ❖
“I think the car can be covered by insurance, and there is an amount that has been agreed upon separately with the restaurant owner....”
“Secretary Kim must have done a good job.”
I stopped reporting to Yoon Tae-oh's actions of waving his hands. He did a good job, but he ended up with a considerable amount of money. To be honest, I didn't feel good about the aftermath. This wasn't the first or second ti this had happened, but this ti it was especially bad. ... I don't know why.
“And there’s sothing I need to tell you.”
“If it’s not important, let’s do it later. I’m a little tired.”
Well, wouldn't it be your loss if you didn't listen to this? I don't care if you tell or not.
“Haa... Try it.”
As if he had read my mood, Yoon Tae-oh t my gaze.
“Mr. Choi Hyun-jin was cut.”
“Who is that?”
Oh, that's right. He doesn't know Choi Hyun-jin's na.
“I was a restaurant employee at the ti.”
“Cut? Why?”
“The president saw the CCTV footage and realized the driver was not the CEO.”
That was the reason why the settlent amount increased. He didn't dig into the reason, but he pressured us who made false statents. And he issued an order to evict Choi Hyun-jin, saying that she couldn't be in his store. Well... I can't say anything since she worked as a valet without a driver's license.
“...Okay. I guess you’ll figure it out, okay?”
“Are you just going to... leave it alone...?”
“Isn’t that obvious? I think I’ve shown all the favor I could.”
The words that Yoon Tae-oh spoke after a brief mont of silence were unexpected. They didn’t even sound like a lie. I thought he would naturally tell to bring Choi Hyun-jin...
“Then first, let’s figure out the dynamics....”
“Okay. Do I have to take care of each and every one of those people? I’m already tired from work.”
I couldn't even talk to him for long because of his really foolish attitude. What on earth is this reaction?
“Then go to bed early, sir.”
“Aren’t you going to do that today?”
"what...?"
I was about to turn away at his indifferent response, but when I turned around to hear a voice calling back, Yoon Tae-oh was tapping his loose tie with his fingers. When I t his gaze with a question, his eyes instantly turned fierce. His straight eyebrows furrowed for a mont.
“Ah, ah! Our representative must be very tired today... I didn’t notice. Oh, I should do it.”
“Hey, give it to ?”
“No! Of course... I should.”
I'm the one untying your tie, so why do I have to act like I'm desperate to do it? It must have been the right answer, because he didn't stop from quickly running over and untying my tie and pin.
“Should I go eat so more nutritious food?”
“...Are you tired?”
“No. It’s not , but Si-eon who looks like that.”
Just as I was about to take the tie off my collar, my eyes went up to the hand that lifted my chin. His voice was playful, but his eyes looking straight at were not. His eyes, which seed darker and heavier than usual, seed to be trying to dig deep into my emotions. Maybe that’s why, or maybe it was because he called by that strange na again. My heart felt like it was falling into the abyss.
“...Shh, shh... Stop.”
I quickly pulled the tie out and ran away. I went into my room and locked the door.
“...Stress is so scary....”
My heart was still beating wildly. It wasn't the first ti he had called 'Si-eon'. I had untied his tie, and we had talked face to face at close range. But why on earth did my heart pound as if it was going to burst and my whole body felt hot.
And why... does my last eting with Choi Hyun-jin co to mind? At that mont, when he was driving and lied, is Yoon Tae-oh the sa person as him now? At that ti, he lied with a blank expression, like a doll whose ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) soul had been taken out. I’ve seen that kind of appearance before. At the villa, when he told that I didn’t need him... that mont.
Now, a reasonable doubt arises. Perhaps this world has a force that forces it to flow according to the original flow no matter what anyone does... . It may make small changes, but it is a force that can never change the main plot. A force that forces Yoon Tae-oh’s emotions... If that is the case, then in the end, this story... .
He gripped the tie Yoon Tae-oh was holding tightly in his hand.
