Chapter 52 – Hypnosis App, Performance Sure
Late lunch.
While Lee Se-jin was working for a while, the door opened and Im Ha-eun entered.
“…Is there?”
Her footsteps and tone of voice seemed uncharacteristically hesitant.
“Uh, what’s going on?”
Lee Se-jin fixed her gaze on her monitor and did not even turn her eyes to her.
“No what… Just.”
Im Ha-eun scratched her neck as if she had nothing to say.
Around her neck was a choker that looked good on her.
“That… Hey, do you have something… Work in the afternoon?”
“One vocal training is all.”
“You, not me.”
“You have to send the new song concept and basic idea, the concept to the ‘Day and Night’ broadcast, and then…”
“Yes, yes, that’s a lot of work. I bet you are.”
Im Ha-eun grumbled and sat down on the sofa next to her.
Her fingers scratched the choker around her neck, looking apologetic.
“…Do you have anything other than company work?”
“Fortunately, none. That alone is enough.”
Lee Se-jin shrugs her shoulders as if she is tired.
However, Im Ha-eun’s eyes sparkled at that answer.
“Really? Well, I thought it was over yesterday…”
“Yes?”
“No. More than that… No matter how busy you are, do you have some ‘time to rest’?”
Ha-eun Lim asked Se-jin Lee while holding out her own neck so that she could see it.
“No, I wish I had time for that, but I really don’t have time… I’m really tired.”
“Are you very tired?”
“A little… No, quite a bit. Young is in bad shape.”
“Tsk tsk how much fun you had over the weekend… It was so much fun, right?”
Lim Ha-eun spoke sarcasticly, but Lee Se-jin did not respond.
Im Ha-eun felt embarrassed for her attitude as if she was really tired.
“Uh, uh… Can I get you some coffee?”
“It’s okay. If I go…”
Lee Se-jin stopped talking until there, and she put her head on her forehead and closed her eyes for a moment.
“What, what? Why?”
“Whoa… It’s nothing. I’m a bit tired and dizzy. Oh right, you’re filming in the afternoon. Let’s go.”
Saying that, Lee Se-jin’s posture as she stood up was strangely sluggish.
Im Ha-eun, who was watching the scene, finally found a pile of coffee cups piled up on one side of the desk.
Coffee cups piled up in piles that you wouldn’t normally see.
The office was empty yesterday, so everyone said they drank today, but the amount is not normal.
“…How much coffee did you drink today?”
“It looks like you drank more than usual, but I still don’t get enough coffee. Maybe I should drink more.”
“…”
I asked what you drank so much, but you replied that it was still not enough.
Im Ha-eun narrowed her eyes at Lee Se-jin’s out-of-focus answer and looked at him.
‘Am I really not feeling well?’
You’ve been looking pretty tired since this morning, and your physical condition is really bad.
I’m trying to apologize for being sarcastic and complaining just now.
‘No, no. Why should I be sorry.’
Im Ha-eun, who denies her heart and shakes her head.
She continued to watch Lee Se-jin and said.
“Hey, bring your car and come to the first floor. I’ll bring you some medicine.”
“Huh? What medicine?”
“After eating like that, I want to eat something more. Eating more doesn’t work and I just throw away my body. I saw that the store sells a good mix of nutrients and supplements.
“…Well, yes.”
Im Ha-eun leaves the words and moves toward the elevator first.
Lee Se-jin smiled slightly as he watched her from behind.
***
My faking operation consisted of two simple steps.
First, lay the rice cakes.
During the afternoon work, she pretends to be dizzy in front of Soye, Minji, and Haeun Lim, appeals to her that she is having a hard time, and occasionally mentions that she is tired today.
‘Then, after training in the afternoon, it would be perfect if Soye and Minji show their reeling image at the end of their lesson.’
The second is an impressive finish.
After finishing her afternoon work and before work in the evening, she collapses in front of Soye and Minji in the training room.
‘Don’t pretend to fall clumsily, just faint in front of the two of you. No more, no less, just one hour.’
Then you will be able to rest unconditionally tonight.
‘Hmmmm, good.’
No matter how many times I review it, it seems like a perfect operation.
Haeun Lim came in at just the right time, so I pretended to be tired as much as possible.
My acting was so good that even though Haeun Lim came in wearing a choker, she even bought me nutritional supplements because of my tired appearance.
‘Now, in front of the other two, all I have to do is work hard on my tired acting and then properly hit the highlights.’
Of course, it’s hard to pass out on my own, but…
‘Here, hypnosis application must give strength.’
In the car alone, I took out my phone and turned on the hypnosis app.
“At 7:10 in the evening, pass out for an hour.”
7:10, just the right time to take the two of them to the training room.
If you use a hypnosis app, you can even pass out at a set time.
“Whoop whoop… Whoop whoop, whoop whoop…!”
I laughed to myself as I thought of my perfect strategy and the quiet time to come in the evening.
***
Late afternoon, at a studio in Seoul.
After the photo shoot, Im Ha-eun was grumbling inside with her arms crossed.
‘You bastard, don’t you take good care of your work?’
On the way to the set, Lee Se-jin asked Lim Ha-eun.
I have a lot of work today, so I asked you to come back after filming alone.
He seemed tired, so he replied that he would understand in front of him, but honestly, I felt a lot of regret.
It’s not enough to neglect it for a week, but now I can’t even neglect work.
‘It’s really too much.’
I’ll definitely pick it up later
A magazine PD approached Lim Ha-eun, who had such thoughts.
“Ha-eun, thank you for your hard work! Today’s shoot was great.”
“…Thank you.”
“Yeah, I originally knew that Haeun was sexy, but lately she’s gotten even better. I’m not kidding.”
“Thank you for taking good care of me.”
“I’m not just kidding! It’s been really awesome.”
A PD who thinks that she doesn’t believe her words and works hard to promote Haeun Lim.
“I-I’d like to make one more suggestion to Ha-eun… Didn’t the manager come with you today?”
“That…”
After taking them to the shooting site, they were busy and went back to the office.
Are you a bad guy?
Those words tickled in Im Ha-eun’s mouth.
“…I’m busy, so I’ll be in the office.”
“Oh, that’s right! Then, can I ask you to call me when I see that friend?”
The moment he heard those words, a thought flashed through Im Ha-eun’s mind.
‘That bastard, she could force her to come here.’
“Of course, I’ll make a phone call too, but it’s better to tell people these things in person…”
“Wait a minute, I’ll call you.”
It was sad that Lee Se-jin left her alone on the set… No, it was Lim Ha-eun who was embarrassed.
It seemed like it would be fun to use this opportunity to make them suffer a little, a little bit.
And we can create a time when the two of us are together.
“The PD said that he made a good suggestion, so I have to tell him right away.”
“Heh heh heh, this is so good! Thank you so much, Mr. Haeun.”
Producer laughs, not knowing what Lim Ha-eun is thinking.
Im Ha-eun mechanically laughed at the PD and called Lee Se-jin right away.
Turr.
〈 uh, what’s up?〉
“Yes. I think I should come here now. The PD says he has something to say to the manager.”
〈 Now… ?〉
When Lee Se-jin hesitated, Im Ha-eun continued.
“I made a proposal for the next shoot. They say it would be nice if I could talk directly with them if possible… It’s a shoot I want to try too.”
〈 yes?〉
“Yes. It looks like there are other candidates, and I think we’d better talk about it soon. I don’t want to miss this.”
Im Ha-eun makes up things that don’t exist.
〈…Okay, I’ll go now.〉
Lee Se-jin pondered for a while and finally accepted.
Im Ha-eun was a little disappointed with that reaction.
Still, it’s something I want to do, but I’m worried about coming here.
Isn’t that a bit too much?
“Come quickly.”
Beep.
After hanging up the phone, Ha-eun Lim approached the PD who was waiting away.
“PD-nim, they say they’re coming soon. Please wait a little bit.”
“Ohh, thank you Mr. Haeun! Of course I have to wait.”
Chuckling PD.
Im Haeun thought while laughing together.
‘He looked tired…But a bit of grumpiness would be fine.’
For a week, the three of us had fun, and we even made fun of people while talking on the phone…
Compared to that, this is cuteness.
Im Ha-eun thought so.
***
Even when I ran to Lim Ha-eun’s contact and started talking to the PD, I thought we should finish talking and go back.
‘If you talk hard, finish the discussion in 30 minutes, and go back to work, it will be just in time!’
However, things in the world did not work out as planned.
“That’s right, the model is so good that it would be good as a fantasy material, that’s what I thought! Haha!”
“Okay, then the next schedule is…”
“And what about the fashion show!?”
“A fashion show…?”
“Yes, maybe it’s because of the Korean wave boom, but there was an offer from France for a fashion show. They made models only as idols, and expressed idols of the modern era and those idols…”
“Aren’t those people a bit noble?”
“They said they wanted to try something new instead of traditional fashion shows. So we took over the hosting…”
A PD who continues story after story and mixes suggestions with suggestions.
It was all good, and hopefully it could lead to new activities for Lim Ha-eun as well as Queens, so he had to answer and review all of them.
Right now, in this place.
‘It’s ruined.’
When I finished talking by saying ‘yes’ to almost all suggestions and quickly summarizing the PD’s story, the time was 7:09.
‘Only 1 minute! I’ll pass out in a minute.’
I also put down new commands such as ‘don’t faint’ and ‘get up right away if you faint’, but I’m not sure if they will work properly.
‘Canceling hypnosis… I’ve never had any success.’
It is a hypnosis application that cannot do the impossible.
It’s probably not possible to not pass out in a situation where you’re going to pass out, or to wake up after passing out.
‘I can’t help it.’
What to do though
It’s nothing else, it’s related to Im Ha-eun’s next filming.
Besides, since he said it was something he wanted to do, of course I should postpone my plans.
The only thing I’m proud of is me who came and desperately shouted ‘yes, yes, yes’ and finished the conversation before passing out.
‘I’ll harass you when you wake up later.’
Of course, as we talked, it seemed like there was no need to talk right now.
This bastard seems to have been mean to me and asked me to come right away.
“Hey, good job.”
As soon as I woke up after talking with the PD, Im Ha-eun came next to me.
Seeing you come as soon as you think about it, you must not be a nobleman.
“You must be very tired, but you come right away when you call, and after all, our manager is the best!”
“Hey… You, that…”
As soon as I opened my mouth, I suddenly felt dizzy.
As the whole world shook irresistibly, it began to darken before my eyes.
“Huh? What’s wrong, all of a sudden?
“Uh…”
‘Hypnosis application, the performance is certain.’
That was my last thought.
I couldn’t speak any more and felt my body break down.
“Hey!? …What …How… Sleep… Hey!? …”
The sound of Im Ha-eun saying something fell far away, and my consciousness was cut off.
