[Marine Corp Monster Corp Mirror Team, A Perfect Synergy!]

-This is insane. I want to buy them all.

-You can feel the vibe just by looking at the photos. Mirror Team did a great job.

=Monster Corp too. They made such high-quality figures.

-I wish Seo-jun would make figures for his other works too.

=22 I really want to collect them all in order now that Shadowman 1 is out.

-Whats going on in May? Figures and Seo-juns fan meeting.

=May is still during Spring Doll, right?.. Whats going on indeed.

=It feels like getting a Childrens Day gift even though Im not a child.

-I have a lot of expenses in May already But I cant help it. I have to start saving money from now on!

=222 If you dont buy them now, youll regret it later.

-As a fan of Seo-jun, I have to buy the figures of his first work.

=And 3 William is so touching that I have to buy it, Jin Natra before corruption is so admirable that I cant help but cry seeing him grow up right in that situation, and Jin Natra after corruption is so overwhelming that I have to buy it.

=You mean youre buying them all.

Today was the shooting day for the modern part of Spring Has Returned.

As usual, Seo-jun and Jo Bo Ram appeared on the set.

Seo-jun is unbeatable when it comes to popularity.

Park Do Hoon said with a smile and Seo-jun laughed shyly.

It had been a week since the news about the fan meeting and the figures came out, but the internet was still buzzing.

I think its because of the unboxing video I uploaded on YouTube a few days ago. I didnt know people liked figures so much.

The high-quality figures that recreated the scenes from the movie without being sold aroused the desire of Shadowman fans.

I want them too

Kang Tae Young groaned as he looked at the photos of the figures that Seo-jun sent him.

Seo-jun. Are you really not selling them?

Kang Tae Young asked cautiously and Seo-jun scratched his cheek.

The phone calls and inquiries to Monster Corp were so many that Uncle Hee Sang and Dad were having a hard time.

According to Da Ho hyung, Marine Corp was also crazy.

If they do sell them, I think they will be hard to make, so the quantity will be small. Maybe they will sell them by limited reservation.

Im unlucky, so I wont get them.

Cheer up. They said they will sell other versions later. Tae Young hyung.

Seo-jun.

Yes?

Can I come over to your house and see them?

Seo-jun smiled brightly and answered Kang Tae Youngs timid question.

Of course. You can come anytime.

Kang Tae Young was so excited that he grinned.

Then how about next week? Lets watch the first broadcast together!

Youre crazy. Your parents are there too. How can you stay up late?

Yoon Hye In said and Kang Tae Young realized his mistake.

And the first broadcast is reserved by Director Gong at a restaurant.

I didnt hear that?!

Kang Tae Youngs eyes turned to his manager Joo Yong Jin. Joo Yong Jin shook his head vigorously. He had definitely told him. It was Kang Tae Young who was too excited about the figures and fan meeting and ignored him.

**

An office where everyone is holding their breath.

The team leader of Planning Team 3 is furious and a woman is bowing her head in front of him.

How many times is this!

The team leader yelled at Kim Seo Yeon and she kept her head down.

That ad plan was outdated.

It didnt fit the internet ads.

The celebrity was expensive and had a different target audience.

She had a lot to say, but what was the point of saying it?

Kim Seo Yeon wondered if the rejected plan was really hers.

It would be better than this, the client prefers this, how could you make such a plan, from the font to the content.

The team leader who was involved in everything was angry in front of her.

He would interfere with anything that seemed profitable and take credit for it, but he would back off when it failed.

It wasnt the first or second time.

She had no choice but to nod obediently when the team leader told her to come to work on the weekend.

Get out!

Yes. Im sorry

She didnt even know why she had to apologize.

She was just too used to it and didnt think much about it.

Kim Seo Yeon bowed again and went back to her seat.

There were many sympathetic eyes around her, but Kim Seo Yeon didnt notice them at all.

Kim Seo Yeon came to work on the weekend as the team leader said and did enough work for weekdays.

She got off work and got on the bus home.

She wasnt angry that she had to work on the weekend.

She just wondered how long she had to live like this.

Kim Seo Yeon looked out the window with a blank expression.

Maybe I should get into an accident. Then I wouldnt have to go to work

The bus stopped at a station. It was drizzling. A girl got on the bus and a boy outside smiled at her.

They looked happy. Their lively faces contrasted with Kim Seo Yeons lifeless one.

The wind blew. The boys umbrella tilted.

Kim Seo Yeons eyes were dyed yellow. The OST of Spring Has Returned played.

The yellow umbrella slowly rose up.

A smooth chin. Soft lips curled up.

Flushed cheeks. A straight nose.

And warm eyes that were brighter than the sun.

Under the yellow umbrella.

A boy who was in love smiled brightly like a newly bloomed flower.

Kim Seo Yeon stared blankly at the boy.

-Wow

-Oh my god.

The viewers also stared blankly at the boy.

They were speechless at the boys smile that filled the screen.

She blinked a few times and the bus was moving again.

Kim Seo Yeon quickly stuck to the window and looked outside.

She saw a boy with a yellow umbrella waiting for the bus. But it wasnt him.

Who is he?

Kim Seo Yeon thought about who he was. She searched her memory like looking for a needle in a haystack, but nothing came up.

Is he a celebrity? He has a perfect visual for an ad model.

She laughed at herself for thinking about ads even at this time. She felt a little better with her hollow laugh.

She didnt know if it was because of the boy she just remembered.

Her good mood lasted for a week and then hit rock bottom again.

She went to work feeling hopeless and heard that the team leader had changed as soon as she entered the office.

So suddenly?

They didnt say why, but maybe there were too many reasons.

Kim Seo Yeon and her co-workers nodded at the same time.

He would go home when he said he was going out, and he would meddle in other peoples plans and take their results. Someone must have reported him with resignation in mind.

Then, the head of HR came with someone.

Kim Seo Yeon and her co-workers widened their eyes at the appearance of a stranger.

The head of HR introduced him.

This is Lee Hyun Sung, who will be in charge of Planning Team 3 from today.

Nice to meet you. Im Lee Hyun Sung.

His cold voice and stiff expression reminded Kim Seo Yeon of an unexpected memory.

A memory of a classroom that felt unfamiliar now.

She was chatting with her friends when a transfer student came in with the homeroom teacher.

The transfer student looked around the classroom with a hard face and opened his mouth.

Hello. Im Yoo Sung Jin. I came from America.

Wow. Amazing.

There were murmurs from here and there. They knew he transferred from somewhere else, but they didnt expect it to be America.

The kids eyes sparkled. He was handsome and he came from America, so he captured their attention at once.

Then, Sung Jin Seo Yeon.

Yes.

Kim Seo Yeon raised her hand at the teachers call.

The transfer student from America, Yoo Sung Jin, looked around the classroom and his eyes met Kim Seo Yeons, who was sitting by the window.

The new team leader Lee Hyun Sung and Kim Seo Yeons eyes met.

Then, Kim Seo Yeon realized who the boy in the bus was.

He wasnt a celebrity she saw passing by, or a fantasy she imagined because she was too tired.

Yoo Sung Jin.

He was Kim Seo Yeons first love.

***

She heard from her colleague in HR and came back to her seat.

The co-worker next to her recited the information about Lee Hyun Sung.

He came from America. He was headhunted. They were planning to make a new planning team for overseas ads, but he will adapt here first and then recruit new employees and make a new team. No wonder Even if there was an internal report, they wouldnt change it so suddenly, but maybe its because they had a new team leader coming. Hes 32 years old Oh? Hes the same age as you, Kim?

At the word same age, Kim Seo Yeon unconsciously thought of the team leader.

Lee Hyun Sung, who looked like her first love. Somehow, the fact that he came from America bothered her more.

But his name is different.

***

A new proposal for an ad came in after the new team leader arrived.

It was from a rival company of the one that rejected her plan a while ago.

She sighed inwardly at the similar product photos, when Lee Hyun Sung spoke to her.

Would you like to take this job, Kim Seo Yeon?

What? Oh, yes. Ill do it.

Kim Seo Yeon looked at the job she was given unexpectedly.

She couldnt rewrite the plan that the previous team leader had ruined, so she had to start from scratch.

Why did he give this to me?

I know, right? The team leader must know that this is a rival ad of the one we got rejected

He knows?

I heard he checked all the recent ad plans. Yours must have been there too.

I wonder why he chose me then.

Was he trying to make her fail twice?

A shadow crossed Kim Seo Yeons face.

***

Can I sit here?

Uh. Sure.

Cafeteria.

Lee Hyun Sung, the team leader, took a seat in front of Kim Seo Yeon.

She ate her lunch awkwardly facing Lee Hyun Sung, and his hand holding chopsticks came into her sight.

He had pretty fingers, she thought, and remembered an old memory.

***

You should try this. Its good.

Yoo Sung Jin, who had been staring at the spicy pork without a word, picked up his chopsticks.

She thought he wouldnt know how to use chopsticks since he came from America, but he held them in an 11 shape and looked familiar.

He has pretty fingers.

Her eyes were drawn to his hand for some reason.

She glanced at her own hand and held her breath at Yoo Sung Jin, who was putting spicy pork in his mouth.

Was it because she had been looking at him all morning?

She felt like she could read his expressionless face a little.

He smiled a little.

Kim Seo Yeon smiled back.

***

I thought he had pretty fingers.

She thought of Yoo Sung Jin whenever she saw Lee Hyun Sung.

I thought you could do well.

What?

She heard his voice and looked at Lee Hyun Sung.

His expressionless face continued.

I thought you might be curious why I picked you. I heard that we got an ad proposal from a competitor of the product were working on. The plans were still there. I saw the original plan that you made.

Kim Seo Yeon stared blankly at Lee Hyun Sung.

The original plan.

That was the plan that had her thoughts before the previous team leader messed with it.

It was good. Of course, we have to make a new plan since its a different company, but I thought you could do well. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Kim Seo Yeon felt like Lee Hyun Sungs cold face was smiling a little.

***

She prepared the plan with anxiety and it pleased the client.

She sighed with relief and went to find the CF director who would take care of the shooting.

Hello. Im Choi Yoo Won, the director in charge of this shooting.

Choi Yoo Won greeted her with a gentle smile and Kim Seo Yeon shook his hand with a smile too.
