Chapter 194
“Really? I’m on my way home now. Let me take a look as soon as I get home.”
“Don’t make fun of me after watching my dancing, please!”
“Of course, I will. Let me take delight in that, hahaha,” said Hyunwoo jokingly.
When he got home, he downloaded her video clip and played it.
He was a bit disappointed because of her dress. She put on an Ao Dai, which was modernized to fully show a woman’s sex appeal. From head to waist it was tight to the body, with the open skirt down to the ankle.
What surprised him more was her figure. Actually, he had never seen her wearing a tight skirt before, so he could not figure out her figure.
When he watched the video, she had a great figure. Wow, how come such a slender girl has such full bust!
The video showed her preparing to dance soon. Her sex appeal was more provocative because of her white thighs. Her long and white thighs were seen on and off while she was dancing, which attracted his attention all along.
If Jiah and Yu Zuung danced together on the stage, obviously everyone would focus on Yu Zuung.
While watching the video, Hyunwoo decided on the format of the music video. He felt Jiah and Yu Zuung could make a perfect match with Soyun dancing in the center.
He felt even if Soyun’s face was revealed, she might not attract the people’s attention because of Yu Zuung’s stunning beauty.
The problem was how to persuade Soyun. Hyunwoo was unsure if the masks she sent could convince Soyun.
After playing the video, Hyunwoo checked out the masks she drew, but he didn’t open the downloaded file on the masks. Instead, he replayed her dancing video.
After playing it twice, he opened the file and looked at the masks.
She sent several pieces of mask drawings; they were all excellent.
In particular, he liked one that would look best on Soyun; it featured her lips, chin, and eyes in a charming way. With the mask on, she could never be identified as Soyun.
In contrast to Soyun’s, Yu Zuung’s mask revealed much of her face, which made her beauty stand out. Standing beside her, Soyun would get as much attention.
“Great. Let me persuade Soyun with this.”
After he made an appointment with the principal of Todolyipyo, Hyunwoo headed to the school early afternoon. Fortunately, the girl who composed Temptation was at the school.
Hyunwoo first met with the girl named Unsook Hong, who composed and sang the song.
As she was handicapped, she was in a wheelchair.
Overcoming the loss of her grandmother, she brightly smiled at him and said, “Thanks so much. I never thought you would produce a music video of my song.”
“Because your song is good!”
He had a conversation with her on various topics and relayed Jungah’s feedback about the music. After listening to it, Unsook replied in the positive and then pushed her wheelchair to the music room.
Looking at her with a satisfied smile, Hyunwoo asked the principal, “So, what happened to Soyun?”
The principal shook his head and said, “Well, she even objected to her disguise with a mask. It looks like she hates appearing before the TV camera.”
But Hyunwoo could not give up.
“Can I meet her?”
“She might avoid you.”
“Can you arrange a meeting with her, please? I’m going to do my best.”
“Got it. Wait a moment here. Let me bring her over here,” said the principal, letting out a sigh.
Hyunwoo waited for a while until she came.
She seemed to avoid seeing him, but at the principal’s urging, she reluctantly came into the principal’s office.
“Let me make sure nobody hangs around the office. Please have a good talk then.”
The principal closed the door and left.
Hyunwoo silently took out some pictures and set them before her.
Though she tried to avoid looking at them, she still looked quickly.
Actually, the pictures were a woman entertainer’s which were edited with Yu Zuung’s drawing. One of them was so small that it almost revealed her face, while another one hid her full face.
“Can you figure out who she is?”
Soyun could not reply at all because she couldn’t figure out at all.
Now he told a light lie by saying, “Actually your picture was put on make-up and then covered with a mask. Can you identify the picture is yours?”
Soyun’s eyes opened wider, full of curious eyes, “Are you sure? Is this picture of me?”
Smiling at her, he said, “Yep! You will never figure out, though.”
Hyunwoo again lied by saying, “In fact, only one of these pictures is yours. One is Nami Yu’s picture, another one is Sojin Jung’s. Now, can you find out which is yours?”
Soyun tried to find out by checking each picture against others carefully.
Hyunwoo furtively smiled because there was no way she could find her own picture. There was no Nami’s nor Sojin’s picture there. All the pictures were a female actress.
This time Hyunwoo told her the truth.
“In fact, I’ve told you a lie. All the pictures are Kayun Jung, the famous actress. How about it? You can never figure out it’s you, right?”
Soyun was pretty confused. She even could not believe the pictures were all Kayun Jung.
Hyunwoo began to tell what he wanted to tell her.
“I want to make a music video by hiding your face like this. Nobody will find out the dancer in the video is you, and I will keep it under wraps by all means.”
But Soyun was not persuaded as if even the perfect covering of her face was not that important.
She coldly rejected his suggestion.
“Our students will find me out anyway, and the rumor will spread quickly.”
“Well, I’m going to make the music video without them knowing it. Let me tell the principal that you rejected my suggestion flatly. This is going to be top-secret so that only you, me and the cameraman know.”
Soyun kept silent as if she was surprised by his unexpected proposal. But she again she refused, citing various reasons.
But Hyunwoo didn’t budge and persistently persuaded her.
And at some point, he touched on her most vulnerable point, namely her disgraceful exit from the entertainment field.
“Think of the people’s perception of you. In their minds, the name ‘Yuni’ of Hey Girls will conjure up the image of your dirty scandal three years ago. Are you going to live with that image for the rest of your life?”
She closed her eyes, which showed clearly she went through the very tough times since then.
“If you keep hiding like this, the people’s perception about you will never change. Aren’t you upset about that? Why should you live in that kind of disgrace for all your life?”
“What should I do then? Take revenge? Me? How can I deal with these terrible guys? Do you think that’s possible?” she suddenly spoke out, with a rueful look.
Hyunwoo replied in a calm voice, “I think that’s possible.”
“Of course, there is a possibility, maybe less than 1% of success. If my identity is revealed, though, the possibility that Taesu Ahn will take revenge on me will be much, much higher. I don’t want to go through that again.”
“No, I expect the opposite will happen.”
Soyun looked at him with a sharp but curious expression.
Hyunwoo continued, “If the music video fails to win the people’s attention, you can’t be their topic. There is no possibility that your identity will be revealed in that case. On the other hand, if the music video becomes popular and enjoys the intensive attention of the people, some other dancer than you will be the subject of their hot topic. I’ll make the video in that direction.”
Only then did Soyun begin to show interest.
“How?”
Hyunwoo showed her a music video instead of replying. It was Yu Zuung’s dancing.
Pretending to show her genuine interest, she watched it carefully.
“I’m going to have her participate in the music video, too. This lady will put on a mask, too. If the video gets pretty popular, I’ll ask her to take off the mask first. You will see that once she takes off the mask, she will enjoy the sole attention of the people.”
Soyun felt the same way. She thought as far as her appearance was concerned, nobody could beat her, but Yu Zuung’s stunning beauty clearly put her in the shade.
