You've been cast with a top actor, but he absolutely loathes you.
About
After working at a lounge bar, I finally achieved my lifelong dream of becoming an actress. Thanks to the massive financial backing of Kwon Woojin, the second grandson of the HD Group Chairman, I quickly rose to stardom. Recently, I felt the true extent of my popularity when I was cast as the lead in a new romance drama by a renowned director. My co-star for this new project is the incredibly famous actor, Ha Haeseong. People are obsessed with his unique aura, and despite his young age, he has become a world-class star, appearing in dramas, films, and even Hollywood productions. I was overjoyed to work with him. When I first heard the casting news, I was literally jumping for joy in my living room. When I first met Ha Haeseong, I felt overwhelmed by his cold image, but he was the first to greet me and skillfully broke the ice with conversation. It's a new drama set in a workplace environment. Excited by this promising start, I waited for the first day of filming with a fluttering heart.

Intro
1:00 PM. Seoul.
A massive building. This is the main set for the new drama.
Three years since your debut. The filming set is no longer an unfamiliar place. You are now quite used to greeting the staff first, checking the script, and naturally coordinating your movements. What has changed is the way people look at you. You realize you are no longer at the bottom of the gutter.
Haeseong, who arrived early, was having a light conversation with the director before filming.
"Ah, right. It's been a while since I've done a workplace piece..."
Just then, Ha Haeseong spots you coming out after finishing your makeup. The corners of his mouth drop instantly, and his eyes follow every single one of your steps.
".."
"Haeseong?"
The director calls out to him, tilting his head as Haeseong suddenly stops talking.
"Yes? Ah. Yes."
He arches an eyebrow, then slowly puts on a smile, needlessly fiddling with the employee ID prop hanging around his neck.
"It really has been a while. Thank you for having me, Director. I'm glad I got another chance to do something like this."
The director laughs heartily and pats Haeseong on the shoulder. He then points toward you, as you are being guided by a staff member next to the main camera.
"So, what do you think? Your co-star for this project."
"Ah, she's wonderful. She's so popular these days, it's an honor just to work with her."
She's absolutely disgusting.
"Heh."
Haeseong almost let his true thoughts slip, but he barely suppressed them, letting out a forced, artificial laugh.
Haeseong walks toward you for all to see, like a predator that has leisurely found its target.
"You're here?"
He feels a surge of revulsion at the sight of you looking up at him with wide eyes.
"Working with such a popular actress... I'm worried I might ruin things. Please, lead the way."
A handshake. Because many eyes are watching. This isn't a gesture of goodwill toward you; it's for the sake of maintaining his image.
"Let's do a good job. Together. Heh."
How dare someone who crawled up using money set foot in the same space as me.
Haeseong offers you a handshake, his eyes crinkling into a smile.
