Lee Miyoon walked past like a pedestrian crossing the road on blinking green lights. She was walking so fast that there was a small gust of wind when she passed by. Gaeul turned around to look at Miyoon walking in the distance. Why would she come here? She had no appearances today. The staff made way for her as she was exuding chilliness from all over her body. Everyone was wary of her. Today, Lee Miyoon looked like she shouldn’t be touched. Gaeul also stayed quiet after seeing Miyoon’s blizzard eyes. She looked like she would stab someone without hesitation if there was a knife in her hands.
“What the heck is up with that woman? Is she angry because her makeup didn’t turn out well? For that to be true though, she looks way too vicious,” Mijoo came around and said.
“If possible, don’t go anywhere near her. She looks really dangerous today.”
“It’s scary, so I think I might run. Unni, you have two types of clothing today. But hey, I saw that your flank was getting a little bigger. Maybe you gained weight because you ate love?”
“I’ll exercise and lose weight. I’m already concerned about it without needing you to tell me, so don’t tell me off too much.”
“I’m not telling you off. I’m envious.”
Mijoo walked away, saying that she would come back with a necklace. Gaeul picked up the script and stood in front of the hospital’s counter.
“Miss Gaeul, are you feeling okay today? Madam Lee has come to the shoot.”
“Today, she just walked by without doing anything. From the look on her face, it seems like something happened to her.”
“Her eyes were totally cold, weren’t they?”
“She’s someone who puts many people in difficult positions just by being here, and she’s even worse today. Did the director go looking for her?”
“I think he met her already. He looked really bad. Madam Lee didn’t say anything to the director before, but it seems like that wasn’t the case today.”
A supporting actress that she chatted with flicked her eyelids once and closed her mouth. Lee Miyoon, who had been away from the set, suddenly appeared. She was attached right next to Kang Giwoo.
“Mr. Giwoo must have it hard, having to get along with her.”
“I’m sure he’ll do fine by himself. He’s everyone’s Giwoo.”
This scene was something that Gaeul had already witnessed before. Kang Giwoo would step aside with a difficult expression, but Lee Miyoon would block his way. Gaeul closely observed the two. The two were talking like that last time as well, so she thought that perhaps the matter back then hadn’t been resolved yet.
“I only heard about this too, and apparently, madam Lee has run into something bad. There are many people who saw her shout into her phone in the bathroom.”
“You don’t know what it’s about, do you?”
The supporting actress nodded, saying that she also didn’t know because she heard it from someone else as well.
“Regardless of what it is, I just wish she didn’t bring it to work. Many people have a difficult time when she’s around. I’d rather have her just nag me like she always does. Doing the shoot in a mood like this is going to be terrible.”
“Looks like you don’t fear her, Miss Gaeul. Honestly, I thought something big might happen when I first saw the two of you fight. I was surprised again when I heard that your relationship was like that from way before.”
“I got used to hearing curses from her.”
“I hope I can be as bold as you are, Miss Gaeul.”
“Don’t be. Sometimes, I hate myself for it. I can just laugh it off, but I keep making a big deal out of it. I’m lacking sociability.”
“Don’t say that. You’re someone I really want as a friend. You’re bold, snappy and you even care about the people around y….”
The supporting actress stopped speaking. Her eyes were filled with fright as she looked over her shoulder. Gaeul could tell who was behind her without even looking.
“Hey, you. Did you just talk behind my back?” Lee Miyoon inquired as she placed her hand on the counter.
Gaeul could see the supporting actress’ lips trembling. Lee Miyoon was the type to send people out on a whim. Gaeul cut in before she could utter any nonsense.
“She was talking with me about interesting recent movies. We absolutely weren’t talking about you.”
She refined those words to make them sound as nice as possible. She didn’t want to fight Miyoon. She learned not to fight people whose eyes were loose. She expected her to step back since she was acting servile, but today, it seemed that Miyoon couldn’t care less about any consequences.
“Was I asking you?”
Miyoon snorted in disdain and pointed her finger at the supporting actress. The supporting actress came out from behind the counter and stood in front of Miyoon, her hands neatly folded together in front of her.
“Young ones these days are so rude. They dare to openly talk behind their senior’s backs.”
“Madam, it wasn’t….”
“See? I just said one thing, yet she tries to say a hundred back to me. Look at her trying to win against me, huh?”
“No, madam. I’m sorry.”
“If your skills are so pathetic that you’re playing roles like that, then don’t think about talking bad behind others’ backs and start practicing. You’re so shit because all you do is chit-chat without even practicing. If I were you, I would be too embarrassed to even speak on the set. If you don’t have any willpower, then just quit. Don’t make people who try hard lose energy.”
The supporting actress lowered her head. Gaeul clenched her hand right next to her pants. Miyoon was speaking while looking at Gaeul herself, as though the supporting actress was getting an earful because of her. If she fell for her taunt, the supporting actress may get into even more trouble, so she had to hold back. She had to get the dirt on herself. After uttering a barrage of words, Lee Miyoon caught her breath. Usually, she would step back after this, since she had achieved her objective of rebuking someone.
“But I feel like it’s going to get uncomfortable for me if I keep seeing your face. What should I do?”

The supporting actress’ face turned pale. It seemed like she had no intentions of letting her go. Gaeul stood in between Miyoon and the supporting actress.
“It looks like you have a lot to talk about with me, so stop venting your frustration on the wrong person, senior.”
Only then did Miyoon put on a satisfactory smile.
“Are you siding with her right now? Two rude fools are doubly doing bullshit.”
“I don’t see who’s the rude one here. The person behind me, you know? She told me that your acting is really good and that she looks up to you. But hearing that, it made me flabbergasted. What’s so great about your acting?”
The supporting actress pulled on her arm. Gaeul signaled her that she was okay and faced Miyoon.
“You picked the wrong day today. You don’t know what kind of mood I am in, do you?”
“I do. That’s why I’m saying all this to you. Are you not a pro, senior? Are you saying you’re proud to bring your private emotions into work?”
“Your little foul mouth is getting worse by the day.”
“While you, senior, seem to be getting pettier by the day. Why don’t you learn to look after your juniors a little? How long are you going to live as that unrelenting general?”
“Shut your trap.”
“I will, so please, do the same.”
Lee Miyoon turned around with an absurd laugh. Gaeul looked around. Due to the commotion, many people, including staff and actors alike, had gathered around. Maybe she became concerned after seeing that many eyes had gathered. It would be fortunate if things ended here. As for the supporting actress, she was just a way to pick a fight with her, so that woman wouldn’t pick on her later. Gaeul also turned around. She saw the supporting actress looking uneasy.
“Don’t worry. That woman picked a fight with you just to say something to me.”
“Are you really okay?”
“This is not the first or second time she’s done this to me. It looked a little dangerous today, but it seems like it won’t be any different from usual.”
Just as she finished off her words with a smile, she could see the supporting actress’ eyes becoming wider. The onlookers also uttered ‘huh?’ in astonishment, so feeling uneasy, she turned around about halfway when something hit her left cheek and chin. It took a few seconds for her to realize that she had been hit. She moved her eyes, which were looking at the ceiling, back down to look at Lee Miyoon. She saw a bag in her hands. Did she just get hit by that?
“Miss Gaeul!” the supporting actress shouted.
Gaeul raised her hand and caressed her chin and cheek. It was warm. A sense of pain rushed in a bit later. More than the impact, a sharp sensation as though she was cut by something spread out from her chin. She looked at her hand. There was something red. Blood?
“Unni!”
Mijoo ran over. She looked like she was about to cry. Her hands were shaking in worry for her face, and she looked so worried that it made Gaeul worry for her.
“It’s not a big wound so it’s fine. Do you have a mirror?”
She asked Mijoo, who said that they should go to the bathroom, and checked her face in the mirror on the spot. There was a thin red line reaching all the way to her ear from her chin. The sound didn’t seem too serious. It seemed like she got a cut from a metallic ornament on the corner of the handbag.
“Are you crazy?” Mijoo shouted at Lee Miyoon.
Gaeul grabbed Mijoo’s shoulder and pulled her back. There was no need to reignite a fight that had already ended. The staff came around as well. They were in a fuss, asking if she had to go to the hospital or not. Gaeul asked for a bottle of fresh water and a makeup cotton sheet. She soaked the cotton with the water and wiped her wound. It seemed like it would heal cleanly as long as she applied medicine and treated it well so that there wouldn’t be any infections.
She wiped the blood on her hand and looked at Lee Miyoon. It seemed as though she had returned to her senses a little as she was looking towards her.
“Satisfied?”
“You.”
“You don’t seem to be in a great condition today, so why don’t you go back?”
Lee Miyoon definitely seemed strange today. She was usually like a dictator, yes, but she wasn’t foolish enough to cause an injury on an actor’s face. It was good that the thing in her hand was a handbag. If she was holding scissors or something, she would have really swung that around. So this was why she was told not to fight with someone with their eyes loose. She felt sorry when she thought about how Maru would be worried.
Even the director, who was usually servile towards Lee Miyoon, frowned as though he couldn’t hold back as the person in charge.
“Madam, apologize to Gaeul. You clearly went too far.”
“Director, it’s fine. It’s not a big wound. Rather than that, let’s start the shoot. It’s getting late.”
“Go to the hospital first. Before that, I’m not doing the shoot.”
“I’m fine though.”
“But I’m not. If you want me to write apologies in bulk, then you can stay. If you have any pity for me at all, then go to the hospital. Miss Saebyeol, please go with her.”
The director had the supporting actress tag along. He seemed to be looking out for her. It seemed like his intention was to send the people involved to the hospital first and then clean up the aftermath. Gaeul decided to listen.
“Then I’ll be back quickly.”
“Miss Gaeul, wait for me.”
Gaeul left the set with the supporting actress.
