Reeling in the Big Fish
Shin Mi-yun's reservation list featured the name Baek A-jeong.
She was a rookie actress under the large entertainment company TNB Entertainment, one that the company was pushing hard.
Whether or not they were pushing her could be seen from the level of the manager standing beside her.
Newcomers who weren't being pushed around didn't have managers following them around, so they couldn't even think of coming to such a high-end shop.
At the very least, actors who were being managed a bit had one road manager attached, and for those like A-jeong who were being pushed hard, an additional team leader-level manager was assigned.
The manager assigned to A-jeong was Team Leader No Hak-gyu.
He was a veteran manager with a lot of experience in the industry, always appearing at Neulsoop.
That's why Shin Mi-yun judged that she could put A-jeong in the VIP category.
'Because of her background.'
TNB was a major entertainment company.
If they were going to nurture a pushed actress, they could easily burn through 1 to 2 million won on a massage.
And Baek A-jeong had a fatal flaw.
'She doesn't lose weight.'
A voluptuous figure in her prime was a combination that any normal man would go crazy for. Baek A-jeong had that kind of appearance, but unfortunately, it wasn't attractive on screen, only in real life.
Why did all the idols diet so much? When you look at the beautiful actresses, why were they all so skinny?
To look pretty on screen, slimness came before volume.
In that sense, Baek A-jeong had an unfortunate figure for an actress.
'If I introduce Baek A-jeong, I can get that massage again...'
It was necessary for the hip-up complex she had.
Even if it was just to feel that wonderful touch again...
When it was Baek A-jeong's turn, Shin Mi-yun slowly worked on her hair while starting the sales pitch.
“Today is an interview, right?”
“Yes... ”
“Where is the interview?”
“It's a women's magazine. Allure...”
“Ah, Allure. The readers there are a bit older, aren't they?”
“Yes, that's right... So the team leader asked me to do a modest concept...”
Baek A-jeong was quiet and slow to speak. But she answered well when spoken to, so it wasn't hard to continue small talk.
“Eung, a modest concept? It suits you well.”
“Really...?”
“By tying the back of the hair up and braiding it diagonally down, how about that? Leaving some stray hairs on the side.”
“Th-that's fine.”
“However, if the hair is done like this, the outfit needs to be wide open up to the shoulder line to look good.”
“Shoulder line?”
“Here. Up to here.”
“Uuu...”
Shin Mi-yun pointed to the end of her shoulder and said. If you wear a top with a neckline that opens widely to the shoulders, the clavicle and shoulders will inevitably be exposed.
A-glamorous figure like A-jeong's didn't have distinct clavicles, and the area from shoulders to arms was plump for an actress.
It would be hard to show that off.
Shin Mi-yun was aiming for that.
“Why? Are you worried?”
“Yes... That kind of outfit is...”
“What’s wrong with it? It's just pretty.”
“Because I don't lose weight... up to the shoulders a bit...”
“Aigoo. Tell the company to support you more.”
“I go to the gym steadily...”
“Not the gym. There are things like lymphatic drainage or massage, right?”
“Lymphatic drainage?”
Baek A-jeong's eyes widened as she asked.
A rabbit-like face with such a glamorous body. No matter how you think about it, it's a scam.
Shin Mi-yun continued the sales pitch while thinking how envious Baek A-jeong would be.
“Even if you just get a good massage, your screen presence changes a lot. If you eat something light in the evening and sleep, it won't swell much, right?”
“Yes...”
“A-jeong also has swelling, that's why. If you just remove the swelling, you'll look really good.”
“R-really?”
“Of course. Look. After the massage, my neck and shoulder line completely changed.”
Shin Mi-yun deliberately lowered her shirt to the shoulders to show her trapezius and clavicle area.
The overly developed trapezius muscle compared to her previous skinny figure. That trapezius muscle disappeared thanks to Ha-un's massage, and now she had a slender neckline.
“I had this much sticking out here before. But look. Now it's completely straight, right?”
“Waa... Unnie's clavicle is really pretty...”
A-jeong muttered to herself, envious of Shin Mi-yun's changes.
Shin Mi-yun smiled and continued.
“It's a massage clinic I got recently, and it's really good. Originally, it was specialized for VIPs only... Let me see, here's my business card.”
In the meantime, she had done a lot of sales to clients like essence, hair nutrition, scalp care products, etc.
Selling shop-affiliated products was also applied as incentive.
After all, the people coming here were those who were prepared to spend a lot on beauty.
It wasn't a big deal to recommend a massage that helps with beauty.
“Here. Noir Clinic. Here.”
“...Eh?”
When she handed over the business card, Baek A-jeong muttered as if she recognized it from somewhere.
“This... The handsome man is the representative there...”
“Eh? You know this place?”
Shin Mi-yun was momentarily taken aback.
Ha-un said he would target VIPs, so maybe TNB Entertainment people had already secured him as a client.
But the next words from A-jeong relieved Shin Mi-yun.
“A few days ago, I exchanged business cards with the team leader here. The team leader was trying to scout...”
“Ah, that day. The day Ha-un-ssi first came. So it was the same day.”
“You call him Ha-un-ssi?”
“Yes. That person is the director. Noir Clinic.”
“Ah...”
“He’s really handsome, right?”
“...Yes.”
A-jeong lowered her head and smiled.
Shin Mi-yun understood her heart.
Ha-un's appearance alone made women's hearts flutter just by looking at it.
In this way, it would be even easier to pull her in with the massage.
“Try it once. Originally, it's a private clinic that only does VIPs, but lately they're expanding business and taking in more customers. It's a good opportunity, right?”
“Really...?”
“Of course. It really has good effects.”
Baek A-jeong had already come this far.
But the money she paid for the massage would all come from TNB Entertainment.
It meant that the company's intentions were as important as her own will.
And No Hak-gyu team leader was the one who moved it.
'No Hak-gyu team leader is strict...'
A person who is serious about managing the celebrity. A difficult opponent for the sales pitch to work on.
But this wasn't a sales pitch. Shin Mi-yun herself hadn't seen the effects, so she would have to make her feel the effects directly.
At that moment, No Hak-gyu team leader came in looking at his wristwatch.
“Are you almost done?”
“It's almost finished. Be careful not to let the tied part come undone, and try to wear it so that the neckline is visible as much as possible.”
“Well, that's the coordinator's job.”
No Hak-gyu didn't like Shin Mi-yun's interference with the outfit.
He already knew the flaw of the new actress he managed: her overly voluptuous upper body.
Shin Mi-yun nodded and said.
“Because of the fat on the shoulders and arms, right?”
“You know, but you ask me to show the neckline?”
“Covering it makes it look more voluptuous. If you're worried, you should have given her a massage earlier.”
“Massage?”
“The director also received a business card, right? Noir Clinic.”
“Noir?....... Ah. That person?”
He thought for a moment, then pretended to know as if he remembered.
“Uhm. That guy suits the industry better than beauty...”
“No. It's perfect for the beauty side.”
“How do you know that, deputy director.”
“Because I tried it. It really had direct effects.”
“You tried it?”
No Hak-gyu looked at Shin Mi-yun. His eyes were strange, as if wondering if she believed it or not.
For No Hak-gyu, it would be hard to easily trust a young male beauty clinic representative he saw for the first time.
But Shin Mi-yun had a way to make him believe.
“Team Leader No. Nothing changed for me, right?”
“Well, I guess.”
“Shoulder line and here, hip-up!”
Shin Mi-yun deliberately showed her butt to No Hak-gyu as if challenging him. Since he had seen her often, No Hak-gyu probably knew how skinny Shin Mi-yun was.
But showing her suddenly attractive butt so openly would make anyone panic.
“Eh, eh...”
“Did you know what I heard this morning? It seems like they put butt injections in the butt. But look. This is the butt injection?”
“Hmm, hmm...! Th-that's...”
“Touch it. Here.”
The reason Shin Mi-yun could say that so openly was because of No Hak-gyu's reputation. If he was the type to handle private matters or work cleanly, he wouldn't have a dirty mind even if he touched the butt over clothes once.
And indeed, No Hak-gyu did.
“Hmm...”
No Hak-gyu lightly touched the butt with just his thumb and index finger and nodded.
“It's real.”
“Right!? This is all thanks to Ha-un-ssi’s massage. Just pretend to be fooled and try it once.”
“Massage... Lymphatic drainage...”
No Hak-gyu looked at Baek A-jeong sitting in front of the mirror. Her shoulders were always tucked in, as if unsure of herself. Because of that, her already round shoulder line looked even rounder and plumper.
Even if only that was solved, No Hak-gyu decided.
“Yes. The deputy director recommended it. Let's try it once. Instead...”

Ding-dong-
Knock knock!
“E-enter...!”
“Hello. A-jeong. Nice to meet you again.”
“Yes, yes...”
[BAEK A-JEONG : NEW ACTRESS (S-)]
Shin Mi-yun's bait had done its job.
She had reeled in the big fish, Baek A-jeong.
While opening the apartment front door, her face lowered shyly looked pure and innocent.
Her big eyes looking down and small lips mumbling with a cute sound were like a rabbit or a squirrel.
However, the body underneath was completely voluptuous. Even through the fluffy knit, the heavy size of the breasts was noticeable.
'It's at least a G-cup.'
Thinking about touching every corner of her body now, it felt like blood rushing to her lower abdomen.
But there was a problem.
“Hello. Jeong Ha-un.”
“Yes, hello.”
“Nice to meet you again. I'm Team Leader No Hak-gyu.”
The man who came out from the apartment living room, Team Leader No Hak-gyu of TNB Entertainment.
“Ah, don't misunderstand. I came because I had to check what kind of therapy it was for cost processing at the company. I came because I was here. Is it okay if I'm here?”
“Yes, no problem.”
It was a problem.
A huge problem.
If that guy is here, what can I do?
But there was no choice now.
I had no choice but to erase that guy's suspicion and approach slowly.
'With the manager present, I have to get aroused to gain internal energy...'
A high difficulty mission was set.
