Golden Print [EN]: Chapter 80

So-yeon worked very hard at WJ Studio during the vacation.

Except for a week-long family trip at the end of August, paid for with her contest prize money and earnings from her part-time job, she went to work almost every day to make models.

It was very different from her original plan to relax and have fun, but she was still very happy.

First, the best part was the big amount of money she earned and saw in her bank account.

But that wasn’t all.

She also learned a lot from the other workers, like Seok-hyun. This new knowledge was as good as the money she earned.

So-yeon was already good with her hands.

But making models is not just about being good with your hands.

It also involves knowing about many different types of materials and how to use them correctly.

So-yeon learned a lot. These were skills about making models that you can only learn from doing it a lot. As a new student, she will make many models for school. These skills will really help her.

‘I definitely learned a lot of things that I couldn’t learn even if I paid for them.’

But even with all the good things, there was one thing she didn’t like.

She hardly saw Woo-jin, even though she worked at WJ Studio all vacation. It was fun to work with Seok-hyun and Jayden, but it would have been more fun if Woo-jin was there too.

So, she asked Seok-hyun why Woo-jin wasn’t at the studio.

But she didn’t get a good answer. She only saw Seok-hyun and Jayden acting like their usual silly selves.

“Woo-jin is a wicked business owner,”

“That’s right. A wicked business owner doesn’t work. In a place where only workers work hard and the boss does nothing, only the workers work.”

“Seok-hyun, please don’t sound like Jayden?”

“Damn, was I too much like Jayden?”

“Like Jayden! There is only one person like Jayden, and that’s Jayden.”

“If you close your eyes when you two are talking, I don’t think I’d know who’s Jayden?”

“Holly shit!”

“Bloody Hell!”

“Hoo…”

She could have asked more questions, but So-yeon didn’t want to. Asking about Woo-jin felt like a matter of pride.

‘The boss should be in the company. Where is he going?’

So So-yeon thought Woo-jin was busy with construction work. He was coming to work in the morning and leaving in the evening, so it didn’t seem like he was going out to have fun.

But on Monday, when she went to school with Woo-jin,

So-yeon realized she was wrong.

When Woo-jin came into the department office after the first class,

“Oh…! It’s Woo-jin!”

“Woo-jin is here?”

“Wasn’t he on leave?”

The classmates gathered around Woo-jin and started talking quickly, making it hard to understand.

“Hey, why would I take a leave?”

“I didn’t see you last week, so I thought you had taken a leave or dropped out.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not going to take a leave for a while.”

“Too bad, I thought you were excited about being on TV and took a leave, but you didn’t?”

“What are you talking about?”

“I bet with Jin-cheol. I thought you had taken a leave.”

The classmates talked very fast to Woo-jin, so fast that it was hard for anyone to understand.

“But oppa. Are you on TV?”

“No, wait. What are you guys talking about?”

“Hye-jin came to school during the vacation and said she saw it by chance.”

“Me?”

“She didn’t see oppa, but she saw celebrities looking for oppa.”

“What…?”

Woo-jin looked confused, and So-yeon, next to him, had a complicated expression. She was more than just embarrassed.

She couldn’t hear the other stories well, and only the words ‘celebrities looking for oppa’ stayed in her mind.

‘What? Celebrities were looking for Seo Woo-jin…? Could it be Lim Soo-ha, that woman?’

After feeling embarrassed, So-yeon felt betrayed.

She remembered Woo-jin drinking coffee with Lim Soo-ha. It seemed like they were close.

She also thought that being busy during the vacation was a date.

She felt angry.

‘I was stuck in the studio all vacation! And he’s going on dates with celebrities!’

Woo-jin paid her, but that didn’t matter. So-yeon felt wronged.

‘I even signed up for classes for this jerk…’

So-yeon imagined many things because of one sentence from a classmate.

But Hye-jin came and cleared up So-yeon’s misunderstanding.

“I even know what show it is!”

“What?”

“Really?”

“It’s a TV show that is funny and has games or talks called . It will be on KBC soon, and Yoon Jae-yeop and Yu-ri-ah are on it.”

“Ooh…! Awesome!”

“Woo-jin oppa seems to have been chosen as a guest who is not a celebrity… Right?”

All the classmates looked at Woo-jin.

Woo-jin looked confused and scratched his head.

“Um… That’s right. It’s right, but…”

Woo-jin was confused because he didn’t know there was filming at school. He only knew about the filming at Cafe Fresco. He hadn’t heard from PD Gong about scenes he wasn’t in.

“Hey, Hye-jin, who did you hear that from?”

Hye-jin looked proud.

But Jayden, who had just come into the department office, answered the question first.

“Jayden told me. Jayden knows everything.”

That was Jayden’s mistake.

So-yeon slapped Jayden’s back.

“Hey, Jayden!”

Jayden looked like he was about to cry because his back hurt.

Unlike Han So-yeon, who started working at WJ Studio this vacation, Jayden had been working there for a while.

So Jayden was friends with Jin-tae, who was in charge of the construction work.

“Jin-tae! Are you busy today?”

“Oh, Jayden. You came early.”

“Jayden always works hard. Jayden is a genius.”

So-yeon didn’t know the construction workers, so it was hard for her to talk to them or ask about Woo-jin. Jayden could ask Jin-tae anytime.

So, when he met Hye-jin at school, Jayden asked Jin-tae about what he had seen at school.

“Jin-tae. What is Woo-jin doing these days?”

“The boss? Why the boss?”

“I went to school yesterday to do something for Woo-jin, and a film crew came and was looking for Woo-jin.”

“Um…?”

“Jin-tae is always with Woo-jin. So I thought you’d know what’s going on.”

Jin-tae didn’t answer right away. There wasn’t any filming at Cafe Fresco then, so he didn’t understand Jayden’s words.

But after thinking, he knew what Jayden was talking about.

“Was that perhaps the filming of ?”

“Oh! That’s right. I think that was the name of the show. I knew Jin-tae would know something.”

Jin-tae knew that Woo-jin had been chosen for .

He had to plan the filming at Cafe Fresco quickly. Woo-jin had told him in advance because he was in charge of the site.

So, when he heard about the ‘film crew,’ Jin-tae thought of it right away.

“I heard that the boss was chosen as a guest who is not a celebrity.”

“Bloody Hell! Then he’s going to be on TV with Yu-ri-ah?”

“Probably?”

“Damn! Cowardly Woo-jin!”

“What’s cowardly?”

“If that happens, you should take Jayden with you!”

But Jayden didn’t tell So-yeon the reason he heard then, and that was a mistake. He would have been excited to tell So-yeon, but he was busy that day and forgot.

That’s why Jayden was hit on the back.

Of course, Jayden felt wronged.

“Hey, Jayden!”

“Ouch! Shit! Why are you hitting me, So-yeon!”

“You, come with me.”

“Save me, Woo-jin! The witch is trying to catch me!”

“Do you want to get hit again?”

“…”

So-yeon took Jayden to a quiet place, and he told her more about the show.

She learned what kind of show was.

So-yeon wasn’t as upset.

“Hmm… So that’s what it was.”

But she still felt betrayed. So-yeon thought she was one of Woo-jin’s closest friends at school.

But she was the only one who didn’t know about this news, so she felt betrayed.

But that was only for a moment.

So-yeon couldn’t think about Woo-jin anymore.

Jayden, who had been standing next to her, suddenly spoke.

“No, but So-yeon. Why are you asking me this? You can ask Woo-jin?”

“Um? Th-that’s…”

Jayden saw So-yeon’s nervous expression and smiled.

“Hey, So-yeon.”

“Huh?”

“Perhaps…”

Jayden stepped closer to So-yeon.

So-yeon shook her head.

“What? No, that’s not it!”

“What’s not it?”

“Th-that’s. So, that is…”

So-yeon was embarrassed and stammered. Jayden smiled and nodded.

“As expected, So-yeon was like that.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Today, I know for sure.”

“Sus…picion? What is that?”

So-yeon’s face was red, and she waited for Jayden’s next words.

Jayden opened his mouth.

“You can be honest now, So-yeon.”

“What!”

“So-yeon was a Spy.”

“What did you say?”

So-yeon was shocked. She wasn’t tense anymore.

But Jayden was excited and kept talking…

“I knew it when you worked so hard during the vacation.”

“…”

“You were trying to sell our WJ Studio’s secrets somewhere.”

“Hoo…”

“Is this spying?”

So-yeon had enough and called his name.

“Jayden.”

“Hehe, surprised by this Jayden’s sharp thinking…”

“Shut up.”

“…”

So-yeon shook her head.
