Sister, Back-off From MY MAN - Chapter 147

9 Years Later, 2020

In the last nine years, Song Ji Hun took over the Song Industries while his father retired to be home with his wife.

After completing his MBA, Song Ji Hun immediately took over the Song Industries and worked alongside his father.

In his free time, he worked with the secret organization he joined. Over a period, he completely won over Lee Min Seo, Lee Man Sik and Choi Hyuk’s trust.

Choi Hyuk joined after Song Ji Hun.

Song Ji Hun was so busy in his life, with travelling around the world and work, he had no personal life.

He couldn’t focus on developing any relationship with Kiaraa but he always had updates on her. She too was busy with her career and wasn’t involved with anyone just like how she informed Ian.

So, Song Ji Hun was not very worried. Also, Lee Myung Soo occasionally assures him that he remembers the promise he made years ago.

Lee Myung Soo witnessed Song Ji Hun’s growth all these years and he was more than happy to get his daughter married to him someday.

Whenever he mentioned the topic of marriage Kiaraa used to cut him off and clearly stated she is not willing to get married anytime soon, so he never mentioned Song Ji Hun to her.

As soon as her graduation was over, Kiaraa started a small business of her own without anyone’s help.

In her final year, she realized the rising power of technology and created a start-up for online shopping which after four years of hard work and struggle proved to be a big company and started bringing in profits for her.

During those starting four years, she even managed to study MBA in Seoul National University itself as it was convenient to attend classes and manage her business.

Once her business became stable, Kiaraa spent the next few hours in strengthening it and by keeping up with the fast changing times.

Kiaraa wanted to prove her capabilities before taking over the Lee Conglomerate but also when she visioned how online shopping is the future, she couldn’t ignore it and started her own venture.

After, her business was completely stabilized she joined Lee Conglomerate’s Board of Directors and actively started involving herself in the family business.

Kiaraa slowly started becoming a threat to the Lee siblings, who could clearly see how much Lee Myung Soo trusted his daughter with business decisions.

The Lee siblings were scared of what the future will hold for them as once everything falls in Kiaraa’s control, they won’t be able to survive.

Although these people were prepared in advance by getting closer to Aera, when she joined kpop, they know in front of Kiaraa, Aera will lose.

During her teenage years, Aera became a popular kpop singer and once she got an opportunity to play the role of male lead’s sister in a kdrama.

It was a small side role and this sister only appears in 7 of the 20 episodes but those 7 episodes in which Aera appeared, had the highest ratings and her videos were the most frequently watched.

Aera’s character, her acting, looks were all very appreciated and she even received an award for it.

Soon, Aera got more kdrama opportunities but she chose wisely and in her next kdrama she played the second female lead, who unconditionally loves the male lead but loses him to the female lead and dies in the end, saving the male lead.

This role made her a popular figure in the whole country.

Initially, she was popular amongst the youth but with this role she became a household name and her popularity reached even the small towns of Korea.

She got national recognition and became a huge hit, surpassing the male and the female lead of this series.

From there on, her journey in the Korean cinema took a big turn and she signed many kdramas and Korean movies.

Aera always had only one rule in her acting career which was non-negotiable that she would not kiss any man on-screen and neither will she do any intimate scenes.

This created some problems for the directors but Aera didn’t care as she didn’t mind letting go of a project if she was forced to as this acting career was a fun thing for her and her life didn’t depend on it.

Even after all these years, her life only depended on Song Ji Hun. Her love for him was never shaken and only deepened.

She didn’t wish to be intimate with any man except for Song Ji Hun, so she added this clause in her contract.

Therefore, some directors took advantage of camera angles or used body doubles for intimate scenes and Aera was able to have her way.

Career wise Aera was going great and over the years developed an even closer relationship with Ji Seo Yun.

Ji Seo Yun always felt special and amazing whenever she went out for shopping or dinners with Aera as many people used to greet them respectfully, offering them upgrades and VIP treatment.

Some fans who used to come to Aera to greet her, used to respectfully bow to Ji Seo Yun too, assuming her to be Aera’s mother.

Although Ji Seo Yun’s younger son too is in the entertainment industry, she never receives such treatment as he doesn’t work in front of the camera but acts behind it.

After completing his graduation, he immediately joined the KH Entertainment Company as a manager.

He was popularly known as Spyro, the name he decided for himself.

Not many people knew more information on this Spyro, except for the fact that, the artists who are signed under Spyro are very talented and satisfied with the kind of projects they receive.

Artists don’t choose Spyro, Spyro is the one who chooses his artist.

This is the biggest rumor in the KH Entertainment Company and it was indeed true.

Song Ji Hwan receives many written requests from artists, who are signed under KH Entertainment, to accept them under his wing but Hwan only chooses those people, who he feels really deserve the efforts he would put in.

It can be his arrogance but all the artists under him, received accolades for their work and two of the artists’ films were even nominated for Academy Awards aka Oscars.

Song Ji Hwan only has five artists under him right now as he doesn’t believe in too much crowding but these five are the top ten artists in KH Entertainment.

His artists were therefore that special.

But there was always one mystery that KH Entertainment people couldn’t solve.

Why Spyro never tried to sign Aera?

Aera was the number one artist KH Entertainment and as all the agents fight to have the best, they never saw Spyro making an effort to have her.

At one point, Aera too expected or rather hoped to get approached by Spyro when she became the number one artist but was disappointed when Spyro didn’t approach her.

She too wondered what she lacked that Spyro signed the number two artist but not her.

Slowly, her curiosity turned into irritation then into anger and then into hatred for Spyro as she believed he looked down on her talent.

Therefore, not once in her life did she send a written request to him, to sign her like other artists did.

She believed Spyro didn’t deserve her.

Aera had no idea Spyro was Song Ji Hwan and neither did she ever try to find his real identity due to her hatred.

No one in KH Entertainment Company even knows how Spyro looks like except for the five artists, who work for him.

To hide his identity well, Song Ji Hwan pretends to work as an assistant in KH Entertainment Company under Sa Da Hye.

Sa Da Hye and Kim Hoon know Song Ji Hwan is Spyro and they respected his wish to hide his identity.

So, they gave him a coverup role as one of Sa Da Hye’s assistant to hide him well in the company.

Sa Da Hye has another assistant, who had been working under her for many years, so this assistant, who knew Hwan’s truth was trustable and he too hid this secret well.

So, less than ten people knew Hwan’s identity.

Sa Da Hye and Kim Hoon were supportive of Hwan and in return, they want him to take over this entertainment company in the future as they believed he would do a good job at it.

So, sometimes they train him for that too as their son Ian will never take over this company.

Currently, Ian is working as a Cardiothoracic Surgeon in Star Medical Center, which is one of the biggest private hospitals in Seoul.

Star Medical Center is owned by the Songs and Song Jae Ho personally requested Ian to join them as they wanted to keep one of their own in the hospital.

Ian had many amazing opportunities but out of respect for his uncle, he took a job in Star Medical Center and is doing extremely well as a surgeon.
