Chapter 86

"Hey, what are you two up to? Are you going to help that jerk Goo Joon-pyo bully me again?" Despite speaking to Su Yizheng and the others, Geum Ssao's eyes involuntarily followed Yoon Ji-ho, who had once again helped her and then left...

As best friends, Su Yizheng and Song Yubin naturally knew that Goo Joon-pyo had developed a bit of a crush on Geum Ssao, but it seemed that Geum Ssao had a crush on Yoon Ji-ho. How interesting, "Do you have a crush on him?"

"That... don't say such nonsense!" Geum Ssao was a bit flustered...

"Oh, that's good, Ji-ho already has someone he likes! Why don't you consider Joon-pyo? He's not bad either, hahaha!" The two mischievous friends teased Geum Ssao and then walked away...

"Why don't you just die already!"

Geum Ssao was very sad; the prince she liked already had someone he liked...

"CUT! GOOD!"

Finally, another day had ended. Everyone gathered around screenwriter Yoon Ji-ryun's laptop, as the premiere of the drama was about to start. Everyone was very nervous...

Yoon Je-hyeok, the KBS dispatched assistant director and producer, had also become more familiar with everyone, "Come on, let's bet on the ratings as usual!"

"As the director, I'll start. 10%, 100,000 won!"

"Wow, Director, you're ambitious, 10% for the premiere!"

Lee Seung-rim, holding Huhu, asked Go Hye-sun, "Nuna, what does betting on the ratings mean?"

Go Hye-sun, "..." It was frustrating to be with such a newbie, "Just guess a number!"

"I'll guess 8%, 50,000 won!"

"I, I'll go for 11%, 50,000 won!"

"12%, 100,000 won!"

...

After asking everyone, Yoon Je-hyeok came to Lee Seung-rim and Go Hye-sun, "What about you, Go Hye-sun hyung?"

Go Hye-sun thought for a moment. The drama had a good topic, everyone acted well, and the content was engaging, "13%, 100,000 won!"

"Everyone, the highest prediction is here, 13% from Go Hye-sun hyung! By the way, Seung-rim, what about you?"

Kim Bum had already secretly told him that predicting the ratings was just for fun, and it was mainly about everyone pooling money for a meal...

Lee Seung-rim counted on his fingers, "The director is an expert, he said 10%, so that's the baseline. Director +1%, screenwriter +1%, the other main actors +1% each, the hard work of the staff +1%, and I'll be a drag -1%." Lee Seung-rim joked, "So, I'll go for 16%!"

Huhu watched as his father pointed at each person with his fingers but didn't point at himself. He patted his father's lips with a chubby hand and pointed at himself with a chubby finger, "Huhu, Huhu!"

Lee Seung-rim smiled and gently bumped Huhu's head with his forehead, "Right, you little guy also need to be -1%, so that's 15%. I'll bet two..."

Go Hye-sun secretly pulled him aside and mouthed, "You can't bet more than the director!"

Oh, there are rules for this too. Lee Seung-rim had to say, "I'll bet, um, 100,000 won as well!"

...

In Seoul, the Jeong sisters began a long-awaited remote control battle...

"Seulgi, give me the remote, I want to watch MBC, I want to watch 'East of Eden,' I want to see Song Seung-heon!"

"No, I want to watch KBS2!" Seulgi held the remote tightly, looking determined at her sister...

"Aren't you also watching 'East of Eden' every day? It's getting really exciting now, why are you switching to KBS2's 'They Live in a Well'?"

The broadcast time was about to start. Seulgi was about to make a comeback soon, and the company had given her a break to relax at home. Seulgi was annoyed that her sister was causing trouble...

"I want to watch the new drama 'Boys Over Flowers'!"

"Hey, didn't you dislike it when I read the manga? Why are you watching the TV adaptation now?" 'Boys Over Flowers'? Jessica was a bit intrigued, but 'East of Eden' was getting really intense, and she couldn't stop watching...

"Uncle is in it!" Seulgi had to tell the truth, but she still felt unsure, thinking her sister didn't like her being with Uncle...

Although Jessica had agreed to let Seulgi and Lee Seung-rim get along that day, she later thought it was a bit too silly, "What's so interesting about a cameo? We don't even know when he'll appear! Let's watch Song Seung-heon!"

"Country bumpkin!" Seulgi looked at her sister with disdain...

Jessica puffed out her cheeks, "What did you call me? Are you asking for a beating?"

Her bottom still hurt a bit from that day when her sister hit her too hard, "No, I meant, don't you watch entertainment news?"

Jessica was exhausted lately and didn't want to argue with her sister, "It's already the 5th, and we're making a comeback on the 7th. Then we have to promote the album. I don't have time to watch the news. I'm so tired from practice, I can't even watch TV at home. Sigh, so pitiful!"

If it were before, Seulgi would have felt bad for Jessica despite always contradicting her, but today was Uncle's first time playing a lead role, even if it was the second lead...

"No, I want to watch 'Boys Over Flowers,' Uncle is the second lead!"

Second lead? Jessica thought about Lee Seung-rim's previous depressed look and his dominant appearance when he beat up Yoo Jae-sang... He must have paid a lot of money, paid a lot of money, and paid a lot of money?

If Lee Seung-rim heard Jessica's thoughts, he would surely sigh, "You two are really sisters..." But although they had met, he didn't know who Jessica was...

Finally, due to Seulgi's insistence and Jessica's curiosity, the remote control battle at the Jeong household ended with Seulgi's victory...

...

In the KARA dormitory, Kang Ji-young shouted, "Seung-yeon unnie, come over, Seung-lin oppa's drama is about to start!"

Han Seung-yeon felt very uncomfortable. Why didn't he tell me about such an important event? Was it because I didn't answer that call? Even a text message would have been fine...

...

In the CCM girls' dormitory, Park Hyo-min looked speechless at Park Ji-yeon, "You're such a foodie, it's just one episode of a drama, why did you prepare so many snacks?"

"Oppa is in it, so I'm in a good mood and have a good appetite!"

...

In the YG girls' dormitory, a young beauty with a childlike face asked Lee Chae-rin, "Aren't you usually not interested in idol dramas? Why do you want to watch 'Boys Over Flowers' now?"

Lee Chae-rin didn't want others to know about her relationship with oppa to avoid gossip, "I read the manga in Japan before, and I'm a bit curious!"

...

Lee Ji-hyeon looked at Huhu's photo on her bedside table and whispered, "Rumu, Mom is going to watch Dad's drama, I'll come back to see you later, be good!"

...

In a dark corner of Seoul, a man stared at the TV screen, "Hmph, I want to see what kind of role you, a piece of mud, can play!"
