Chapter 168: Chapter 172

The moment Jinhon and Angela’s passionate song of Duckling Fly was over, the crowd demanded an encore with enthusiastic shouts. Hyunwoo breathed a sigh of relief to hear that.

But they, who just made their debut, were not yet ready for that. They disappeared from the stage in no time.

Then, the staff of Ani & Funny including Kyungsu gave a pent-up sigh and clapped their hands.

“Wonderful!”

“I was almost moved to tears, man”

Hyunwoo clapped his hands, too. He then couldn’t resist calling Jinhon at his cell phone.

Jinhon picked up the phone gladly, and shouted at the top of his voice,

“Uncle! I feel like I’m going crazy!”

Hyunwoo knew the reason, of course, but asked back, “Why?”

“Because I’m so happy. I feel like I am going crazy now.”

Just hearing his voice Hyunwoo could feel how happy he was.

Jinhon became a singer overnight, which was his lifelong dream. And his parents who were so persistently opposed now became his strongest supporters.

“This is the real beginning of your journey. You should not be satisfied with the current results, right?”

“Of course not. I can overcome any difficulty to achieve my goal.”

“That sounds good. Congrats!”

“Thanks. I’ll never forget your favor. Angela wants to talk to you.”

She was as happy as him. And she repeated what Jinhon said, vowing to do her best. She also didn’t forget to promise she would repay his favor by all means.

Suddenly, Hyunwoo felt sorry for them.

“What did I do for them?”

Actually, Hyunwoo didn’t make any big sacrifices for them. All he did was invest his money and energies in them, which others would have invested in stocks and real estate.

After the call, Hyunwoo was all smiles.

At the office of AT Entertainment, the largest company in Koread, Taesu Ahn walked in. Finished with dinner, he watched TV in a relaxed mood. He made it a rule to monitor the Music Count program usually.

Then, his eyes popped out.

“What’s that? I haven’t heard it before.”

His beautiful secretary, who was wrapping up to leave the office, turned her head. She saw Jinhon and Angela singing Duckling Fly on the Music Count of Korean Broadcasting.

Though the song was pretty well known to the public, Taesu seemed to hear it for the first time.

“Well, that’s the most popular hit on Youtube these days,” said the secretary.

“Really?”

In fact, he didn’t pay much attention to Youtube as he had so many things to take care of.

It was a pretty interesting song with a dynamic dance and bouncing rhythms.

What was more surprising was the beautiful female singer. He had an affair with most of the pretty singers, but Angela’s beauty was something fresh to him. Suddenly, he felt a sexual lust for her.

“Who is that singer?”

“She is Angela Lewis, a Vietnamese girl.”

“Find out more about that girl such as her location, parents and the entertainment company affiliated with her. Just everything about her.”

She gently distorted her face as she had a date with her boyfriend in an hour, but she felt if she pressed the detective team of AT Entertainment hard on this, they could quickly gather the tips as demanded by Taesu.

“Got it,” said the secretary.

Smacking his lips, Taesu said, “What a stunning beauty! I can’t let other guys play her.”

The more he saw Angela, the more he felt she was pretty.

Then, he naturally thought of Nami Yu. Compared with her, Angela looked more sensual and stimulating because of her freshness and youth.

And she was a Vietnamese girl! She must be dreaming of becoming a K-pop idol star. He felt he could own her by satisfying her wishes.

When he thought as far as that, he suddenly got frustrated because of Nami.

He felt she could easily make all the running like most women did for him, but she didn’t.

What was more commendable was Nami became a star on her own.

Taesu was waiting for the right time to have sex with her, but Nami already won the hearts of the TV viewers with her wit, beauty and acting ability.

Nami was already regarded as a top-class actress. Without the backing of AT Entertainment, she could make a success on her own.

And her contract had about seven months to go before expiration. He might not even touch her bosom until the expiration date.

Suddenly, he stood up and went into a hotel room that he used often. And then he called Nami.

She answered the phone in a cheerful voice. Hearing her tone, it looked like she was waiting for his call night and day. Looking back, however, that was Nami’s feigned tactic.

“Are you busy today? Any schedule?”

“I’m done today.”

Nami replied without knowing anything about Taesu’s wicked motivation.

Taesu said bluntly, “I’m in room 1207 at Rainbow Hotel right now. Can you come over now?”

Nami instantly showed wariness at that but asked in a calm manner.

“Do you have anything to discuss with me?”

“I’ve got to discuss your schedule.”

“I feel unwell today. Can we discuss it tomorrow?”

Frowning his face a bit, Taesu felt bad about it, but this time he wouldn’t let her go. So far he gave in, but he wouldn’t today.

“This is very urgent. I must wrap it up with you now. Hurry up!”

Nami was trying to say something, but Taesu hung up the phone immediately.

Sipping a glass of wine, he smiled, This is the last chance. If you don’t come, that’s the end of your acting career.

In the meantime, Nami was getting more and more nervous in her condo.

“What should I do now?”

Taesu’s intention was clear. Namely, his purpose was to force her to choose between continuing her career by having sex with him or rejecting his request, which would ruin her career.

Nami made a firm decision, though.

She had not the slightest idea of allowing him to use her body. Instead, she wanted to use him as long as she could, but she was scared at the same time. She knew well how powerful he was in the entertainment business. If she refused to have sex with him, he would certainly ruin her career. Maybe he could send a bouncer to her condo.

She bit her lip and said, “Yea, I was expecting this would happen to me one day, and I vowed I would be prepared for anything. Let me confront him. I have strong supporters Dukwoo and Hyunwoo anyway.”

Then she called Dukwoo, her boyfriend, “What’s up? I’m here in China. Something urgent?”

“No, no. I just called you to hear your voice.”

This time she called Hyunwoo, but Hyunwoo wasn’t in Seoul either. After he left Space Design, he resettled in Ansan, and that two months ago.

They were her strong supporters she could turn to in times of difficulties like this.

Of course, nothing would change even if they were with her.

Nonetheless, she wished they were right next to her at this moment.

She called Hyunwoo in Ansan finally, “What should I do, brother?”

“What’s wrong? Tell me about it”

Nami briefed him about what Taesu told her. For some reason, she felt Hyunwoo was more dependable.

Comforting her, Hyunwoo said, “Got it. Wait a moment. Let me figure out a good tactic.”

After the call, he put on clothes quickly.

Suji, who was dating him at the moment, stood up with a surprised look, “What happened?”

“You know Nami You, right? Looks like she needs my urgent help.”

He briefly explained to her about Nami’s miserable situation.

As Suji knew something about Hyunwoo’s ties with Nami, she was not the object of jealousy.

“Take care,” said Suji, wiping off the lipstick mark around his mouth. He kissed her for a long time and then quickly headed for Seoul.

Actually, he was planning to go to Seoul early afternoon because there was a meeting about the trade fair in the city hall of Seoul tomorrow. So, he was thinking of meeting his old acquaintances in Seoul and catching up on things over drinks late into the night before attending the meeting, but Suji called him suddenly for a date. Hyunwoo was intent on deepening his physical contact with her this time for several days before meeting her. Though he didn’t make it this time, he managed to kiss her as much as he wanted.

He drove the car as fast as possible, but the traffic congestion would take him more than two hours to reach Nami’s place.

So, he thought of someone who could take care of Nami until he arrived in Seoul.

Jinyoung came to his mind first, but he gave up on him. For Jinyoung was scared of Taesu.

He also thought of Yonggu with Space Design. The business success of Space Design depended on its relations with the broadcasting world. It might ruin Space Design to have Yonggu pit against Taesu.

Suddenly, he thought of reporter Jaeyol Song of Korea Broadcasting.

Snapping his fingers, Hyunwoo murmured, “Yea, as a reporter Jaeyol has the guts and courage.’

But Jaeyol’s reply was disappointing, “Well, Taesu Ahn has a close relationship with the president of Korea Broadcasting. And Taesu’s father is the CEO of Osung Business Group. How can a reporter like me deal with him?”

“Could you take care of Nami until I arrive in Seoul? Please!”

“Sorry. I’m a coward, too. I don’t want to lose favor in their eyes.”

Hyunwoo could not give up. He checked out his acquaintances on the phone book. There were more than 100 there. There must be someone who could help him out.

Taesu looked at his watch. It was almost one hour since he called Nami.

He frowned, “Hummmm… you must be ready to drink as a punishment for being late.”

At that moment, he heard someone knocking on the room outside. And Nami’s voice came through the door.

“Sir, it’s Nami.”

His face brightened all of a sudden.

He opened the door with a much brighter smile. He thought finally he could touch her fair skin and have sex with her.

However, there was a giant guy standing behind her as if he was her bodyguard.
