‘I heard you have a few concerns you wanted to bring up with me?’ President Jang broke the silence.
Min Ho tilted his head at the bluntness of their president. His manager must have talked to him beforehand. Which is good, because had a lot of concerns.
‘I don’t like last-minute additions to my schedule without my knowledge,’ Min ho said sternly. He didn't like the fact that he wasn't in control of his own time; but the least he could ask for him to know and approve activities.
‘I’m sorry about that. That was my fault, it won’t happen again,' President Jang said. 'I’ll make sure that you know all of your appointments at least three days prior to the date.’
Min Ho nodded his head. Alright. Good enough. ‘Also, I think... I’m overworked.’
President Jang didn’t respond right away and squinted his eyes. ‘What do you mean?’
‘I mean I’m always working. I’m always on a plane. I know that we’re striking while the iron is hot – I get that – but is it possible to cut at least one-third of my commitments right now? I barely have time to do anything anymore. I haven’t had any real rest since filming The Heirs. Before jumping into filming for Gangnam Blues, I’d really like to have some time for myself.’
President Jang leaned his elbows on the table and started to massage his temples. ‘Min Ho, this is a really critical time for you,’ he said. ‘We can’t let your popularity die down this early in the year. Not when Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Woo Bin are hot on your trail. I heard Kim Soo Hyun’s agency is looking into expanding into China. He’s already reviewing film offers even if his drama hasn’t finished filming yet. And Woo Bin’s casting in that Kim Hong Sun movie is being finalized as we speak.’
‘I’m going to film a movie, too. That’s hardly flying below the radar,’ Min Ho snapped back.
‘You know how this industry works. It’s all about trends with these young kids nowadays. If you so much as disappear for even a while, somebody can easily take your place.’ Min Ho can tell that the man was getting worked up. The veins on his neck were starting to pop out. But Min Ho needed to stand his ground.
‘Sajangnim, didn’t we already discuss this? I don’t care about being the trend or what. I’m an actor. I want my work to speak for itself. And frankly, I don’t care about how many CFs I shoot. I want to focus on acting. Can you please do that for me? I think I’m about to go crazy flying in and out of the country like this,’ Min Ho pleaded.
President Jang stood up from his seat and started pacing. ‘You did one drama last year. Just one. And we lucked out because it was a huge hit. That’s great, really great. But do you know how many dramas Lee Jong Suk made last year? Two. Both hits. Do you know how many movies he filmed? Three. THREE,’ he emphasized.
Min Ho flinched at the mention of Lee Jong Suk’s name. He hasn’t forgotten about Jong Suk’s trip to Shin Hye’s apartment and has since, topped Min Ho’s blacklist. But because Shin Hye was away on a vacation, he hasn’t really put much thought into him. Until now. It wasn’t enough that Lee Jong Suk was in his girlfriend’s orbit; now, President Jang was using him to prove a point. Min Ho was starting to think he will never like the guy. Ugh. Why does blondie have to be so hardworking?
‘I heard he almost surpassed Suzy’s number of CF’s last year,’ President Jang continued. ‘He even beat Song Joong Ki. Most of the CFs we had to reject because of your schedule are his now.’
Min Ho was getting more annoyed by the second. He may not be aware of it, but President Jang was pushing the right buttons bringing Lee Jong Suk into their conversation like this.
‘Fine, fine! Algae sumnida,’ Min Ho replied, putting his hands up in the air. ‘Make sure I have more CFs than Lee Jong Suk. And while we’re at it, let’s make four movies. And shoot three dramas. Make it happen, sajangnim, okay?’ Min Ho stood up and headed out of the room. He stopped when he met his manager by the door, but only long enough to grab the coffee that the ahjussi was holding. ‘Hyung, let’s go,’ he said.
‘Ya, what happened?’ His manager caught up with him after he made a quick goodbye to President Jang. ‘Did he agree to your terms?’
‘Nope,’ Min Ho replied curtly. ‘My plan backfired. Looks like I’m going to be even busier this year,’ he shook his head and took a sip of his coffee. ‘Is blondie even human? How can anybody work that much?’ He scoffed. ‘Cham na. He even has time to make trips to other people’s apartments.’
‘Huh? What are you mumbling about?’
Min Ho stopped walking abruptly and faced his manager. ‘Hyung, when is the premiere of Boiling Youth again?’
‘Tomorrow night. Why?’
‘I’m going, right? Did you RSVP already?’
‘Yeah. And I had to re-schedule a photo shoot just so you could attend. President Jang asked why you’re so adamant on attending when you don’t normally like those types of events.’
Min Ho smiled. ‘When he asks again, tell him that since he likes Lee Jong Suk so much, I’ll try to be close to him so his dedication can rub off on me,’ he said sarcastically before walking to the direction of the van.
‘I heard you have a few concerns you wanted to bring up with me?’ President Jang broke the silence.
