Chapter Title: You'll Help Again Today, Right?
Today's help again, right?
Should I call it a relief?
Or should I say it's disappointing?
Normally, after shooting wrapped, Jennifer would play games at home, knit, watch classic movies...
She was someone who kept busy with something right up until bedtime.
But today, nothing stuck in her hands.
"Haa..."
Sitting still, Jennifer picked up the hand mirror on the edge of her desk.
Her face reflected in the small mirror...
Was flushed red.
And.
At the same time, it was a complicated face that looked lost in thought.
A face where so many emotions tangled and swirled that even she couldn't tell what she was thinking.
She was happy, excited, surprised. But at the same time, a little disappointed and flustered.
If it were any other issue, she'd call Catherine right away and talk endlessly without noticing the time.
But this problem... she just couldn't bring herself to do it.
"He just wanted to touch my breasts, right...?"
It was under the pretext of sensory training, so rationally, that's what she thought.
But surprisingly, the sensory training had been more effective than expected.
With her sight blocked, being touched by someone against her will—or rather, independently of it—made the 'sensations' of her entire body sharpen in a way she hadn't known before.
Thinking about it, sensory training didn't seem entirely far-fetched.
So Jung Woo-jin's real intentions confused her.
Was it truly to help with her acting, or was it just a ploy to grope her?
Shaking her head once, Jennifer sorted her thoughts.
"No. The training was just an excuse. What kind of training stimulates reason's nipples...?"
Settling on that thought made her mood strangely lift.
But the problem was...
"I didn't expect him to really just touch my breasts..."
Jung Woo-jin had stopped exactly at touching her breasts.
Jennifer set down the mirror and picked up her smartphone.
Refreshing the post she'd uploaded to the community earlier, she saw three or four comments had been added.
A guy made some weird excuse to touch my breasts, so I let him, but he really just touched them and went home. How should I take this?
So that's you, right? Pussy.
What kind of aggro is this? My head's spinning.
If we accept the 0.1% chance the OP has XX chromosomes, just give up cleanly. You let him touch your breasts and he just left? Means he was gonna lay you down but reconsidered and decided you weren't worth dropping his pants for. No hope.
For a split second, heat rushed to Jennifer's head, and she flung her smartphone away.
Thud-!
She huffed and puffed, venting her anger.
"Hmph. People who don't know jack. Woo-jin put so much care into caressing me..."
Though Jennifer had zero dating experience herself, she was old enough to know what she needed to.
'If I stacked up all the romance novels I've devoured, it'd make a mountain, probably.'
The love skills built from text were definitely telling her something.
"Woo-jin. Maybe he's surprisingly shy...?"
Jung Woo-jin seemed like a guy with a lot of shyness.
And.
Maybe even a little...
Perverted...
But that was no concern to Jennifer.
"Tomorrow, I should wear something even more blatantly sexy."
Jennifer glanced around her empty house unnecessarily and searched on her smartphone.
- Ways to seduce a man.
"Hmhm, hm. Good morning!"
A light step, humming, and a voice that cheered anyone up just hearing it.
The set staff didn't even need to turn around to know who it was.
Jennifer Wise.
The lead actress and the set's mood maker.
A camera staffer checking angles turned at the sound of her voice nearby, greeting warmly—then froze with one hand half-raised.
"Oh! Jennifer, come on i...n?"
"Hehe. Steve, good morning!"
Jennifer trotted past him quickly, but Steve stood there like a statue, dazed.
The afterimage of Jennifer who'd just passed lingered in his mind.
Everyone knew her hidden weapon was impressive, contrasting her sweet, innocent image.
"Uh..."
But today's outfit was violently tempting for many men.
Meanwhile.
Jung Woo-jin, who'd arrived early at the set, pretended to survey it while lost in thought in a quiet spot.
'Damn it...'
At the time, it hadn't seemed like a bad idea, so he'd gone through with it, but reflecting at home brought a wave of shame.
'What sensory training bullshit... Crazy bastard.'
Jennifer accepting it so readily was abnormal too, but the real issue was the guy who'd suggested it.
"Haa... Should've just gone for it..."
As he sighed deeply, mumbling to himself in frustration and self-reproach—
"Woo-jin! Good morning!"
Jennifer popped out from behind a set alley.
"Woo-jin, what are you doing alone here?"
"......"
Jung Woo-jin stared at her face for a moment, wondering if she'd heard his muttering.
"Huh?"
An innocent face asking why. That face was harder to read than a poker face.
"...Nothing. You're early?"
"The method you taught me—I was skeptical, but it worked better than I thought! Like my senses are sharpened? Feels great!"
"Yeah...?"
"So I tried it alone at home, but touching myself didn't feel the same..."
"...Yeah?"
"Yeah... You'll help again today, right?"
MB Fashion Group subsidiary.
Women's clothing brand. 'Brandy Downey'
A brand for slim-figured women. Their clothing sizes were limited, so no plus-size options in their stores.
But that bold strategy made Downey a sensation in America.
The one who'd pushed the opposed strategy was 'Susan Downey'.
CEO of 'Brandy Downey' and one of its main models.
A knock echoed in the office where a large framed photo of Susan hung.
Knock knock-.
"Come in."
A somewhat cold voice.
Only after permission did the door open.
Through the half-open door, a woman in neat office attire said brightly.
"Ma'am, the external meeting is ready."
Susan, still staring at papers in hand, finished them, removed her glasses, and stood.
In a dark-colored dress with a thin shawl, her figure was sensually ageless.
She touched up her coral lipstick and said,
"The car?"
"Waiting in the underground parking."
"Not parking—have it wait at the first floor. Early in the year; need to toss some gossip fodder to the public too."
"Yes! Got it."
Click clack-.
Striding out haughtily, she donned the light coat from her secretary and headed to the elevator with her entourage.
"Phew..."
Left alone in the empty office, secretary Isabel finally sighed in relief.
Susan oversaw more than just 'Brandy Downey,' so she wasn't always here.
But whenever she was, Isabel stayed on high alert.
Susan tolerated no mistakes in work, strict as she was.
Yet in fashion, 'Susan' was an idol for women.
Isabel stretched to loosen up and said to her colleague in the secretary's office,
"Lisa, our CEO. Isn't she just so cool?"
"Right? How is someone over forty that pretty?"
"I wanna age like that too..."
"Dream on. Takes money for that."
Her youthful face belied motherhood; busy yet perfectly managed figure.
Company jokes called her a vampire.
Chatting idly, Isabel suddenly recalled yesterday's 'Paranormal'.
"Oh! Right! Lisa, did you see Paranormal episode 1?"
"Yeah! Not overtime, so live watch is a given."
O occult drama with gore, but popular among young American women.
"Creepy vibe's not my thing, but Jennifer and Catherine keep me hooked."
"Catherine's so sexy..."
"I prefer Jennifer, but Catherine's got charm too."
Sensual yet brash Catherine; cool, intellectual Jennifer.
More popular with women for strong female leads.
"Wonder what villain's this season. Last one was kinda..."
"Lame."
"Yeah. Story was fine, but the acting lacked main villain weight."
"Early scarecrow arc was more memorable. At least scary."
"Ugh... Didn't like that either, but true."
"Heard rumors on community: main villain's a vampire? Like the bite marks on this ep's corpse."
"Who? Plenty suit vampires. Chris McCaffrey?"
"Nah! Chris is hot, but not vampire. Decadent vibe's Adam Fresley! Sharp features, that cold smile after biting."
"Whoa! Was gonna back Chris, but can't deny Adam."
Hot actresses great, but they most anticipated the main villain actor steering the season.
Paranormal's villains since season 1: always handsome men.
"Who is it? Dying of curiosity."
