Inside the sleek elevator, the soft chime of ascending floors hummed in the background. Mr. Kim stood at the center of his entourage, arms crossed, an amused smirk tugging at his lips.
"Well," he said, breaking the silence, "Zeno Han is more handsome than I thought. No wonder people like him. It's inevitable with that face."
He let out a low chuckle and adjusted his coat collar. "He was shining. That's bad news for Phoenix. It's natural that he feels threatened about his place as the hottest actor of the year being taken."
He looked ahead, the elevator's reflective panel catching a glimpse of his expression. Despite the compliments spilling out of his mouth, he had a displeased expression.
"But that won't happen," he added with certainty.
Beside him, Assistant Byun pushed his glasses up and tapped a small tablet he carried. "It seems Zeno Han teamed up with Hyunbin, Sangwon, an actor from the same company, and a streamer named MimiKawaii."
