Chapter 366: Male Morality Must Be Observed
I made a simple trip to the market and delivered the new bedding to where my grandparents lived.

The windows were also successfully repaired with wood purchased from the timber market.

Now when you open the windows for ventilation, you no longer have to worry about the wooden windows being dismantled due to excessive movement.

After finishing all these things, it was time for Kang Do-hwan to leave Daegu and return to Seoul.

He sat in the car feeling somewhat dejected; he had only been with his girlfriend for two days and he was about to leave.

Sometimes Jiang Zhaohuan really wants to be willful and stay with Bae Zhuxuan when he is not working.

But this kind of thing is unrealistic. Even if I don't go to film or record variety shows, I can't hang around her openly.

Oh, it’s so hard to have a good relationship.

Pei Zhuxuan saw that her boyfriend was unhappy, and tried to comfort him with a smile:
"Okay, it's not like I won't go back to Seoul. I'll be back in a few days."

Jiang Zhaohuan naturally knew that Bae Zhuxuan’s vacation was not long, but that was not the point at all.

The point is that he is about to join the crew to film, and he will definitely not live in Seoul for a long time in the future.

After this separation, I really don’t know when we will meet again.

Jiang Zhaohuan frowned slightly and said in confusion:
“But I was on the set at that time and you couldn’t come.

"I'll find a way to see you."

"Really?"

Bae Joo-hyun felt helpless. She really didn't expect that Do-hwan would be so sensitive at this time.

She reached out and pinched his cheek, and said with a deliberately stern face:
"When have I ever lied to you? If you don't believe me, I won't come here."

"Of course I believe you. I'll wait for you."

"Drive slowly on the way back, and remember to message me when you arrive."

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

Even if Jiang Zhaohuan didn't want to leave, he had no choice but to work.

Only when you climb to a higher position and once your relationship is made public, no one will dare to gossip about you.

However, on the way back to Seoul, he received a call from his agent Cha Chun-ho.

We learned that Han Ji-min, one of the female leads of the "Radiant" crew, was sick with a fever, so the originally scheduled filming date had to be postponed a few days.

Jiang Zhaohuan's eyes lit up and he wished he could turn back to Daegu.

He thought about it and asked:

"So I'm out of work now?"

As Che Chunhao drove to the advertising shooting location, he said:
"Who said there isn't? There's an advertising job today. The company has given you an advertisement for Jinro Soju."

"Jinro Soju? Are you sure?"

"What's certain? Jinro is still very well-known in the Peninsula. Endorsing this national brand can help you expand your popularity while maintaining your exposure."

This statement is not wrong. In addition to beverages and coffee shops, Jinro Soju will definitely appear in every supermarket and restaurant on the peninsula.

For actors like Kang Do-hwan, endorsing nationally popular brands can also expand the age range of their fans.

"Brother, of course I know how well-known Jinro Soju is in the Peninsula, I just didn't expect you to accept me as the alcoholic beverage endorsement."

Che Chunhao finally reacted and couldn't help but said with a smile:

"Don't worry, we will definitely not let you drink during the filming. The cups will only be filled with boiled water."

"So if someone asks me how much I can drink as a spokesperson, do I answer truthfully?"

"Of course. Isn't it known to everyone that you can't drink much?"

"……hehe."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zhaohuan directly changed the navigation destination to the shooting location.

The spokespersons invited by Jinro Soju are usually female artists. This time, Kang Do-hwan was chosen to expand the female consumer group.

After all, drinking is now a particularly considerable source of income for women, and loving to drink is no longer a symbol of masculinity.

Female artists' endorsements mainly attract male consumers, and conversely, inviting Do Hwan is also to attract female consumers.

As for why Kang Do-hwan was chosen, one reason was his popularity and good character in the industry.

The second is to value his background and the purchasing power of his fan base.

The combination of these two makes it undoubtedly the best candidate.

The only drawback is the spokesperson's alcohol tolerance.

However, the public relations department of Jinro Group thinks this is not a big deal and does not stipulate that the spokesperson must be able to drink a lot.

As long as you can drink, it doesn't matter how much you can drink.

When Kang Do-hwan arrived at the scene, he quickly walked towards the director in charge of the filming.

During his debut, he has always maintained a humble attitude and would immediately bow and greet his seniors:
"Director Nim, I'm so sorry, I'm two minutes late."

The director thought Jiang Zhaohuan would find some excuses, but he apologized right away without making any excuses.

In fact, his agent Che Chunhao had already informed him that he had rushed over from Daegu.

So I understand that there will be problems like traffic jams on the road, and if you are unlucky, you may have to face red lights all the way.

"It's okay, let's discuss the shooting plan first."

The main theme of this shooting is the element of "life".

Get up, put on a suit and go to work seriously. After get off work, make an appointment with friends to have dinner at a barbecue restaurant. The feeling of fatigue is diluted by alcohol.

It has a stronger flavor of life and is more in line with the life of ordinary working-class people.

Jiang Zhaohuan thought the shooting theme was good, and since he was an actor, he was not worried about not being able to portray the feeling of a wage earner.

He came to the make-up area that had been temporarily built, met the make-up artist, and took the initiative to suggest:
"Nuna, don't put too much makeup on me. Most of the working people in real life are without makeup."

"Okay, I'll help you apply some foundation so that it will look better during the photo shoot."

Jiang Zhaohuan is completely confident in his bare face. He was not wearing any makeup when he came. His good foundation made the makeup artist envious.

After finishing the simple makeup, the makeup artist picked up the phone shyly and asked softly:
"Um, Zhao Huanxi."

Jiang Zhaohuan noticed the phone in her hand and said with a gentle smile:

"Do you want to take a photo with me? Then let me take it. My arms are longer, so they look better in photos."

Hearing this, the makeup artist was hesitant to speak.

She admitted that Do Hwan's long arms were perfect for using as a selfie stick, but even as a fan, she couldn't agree with the second half of the statement against her conscience.

The makeup artist finally gave in and quietly stood on tiptoe so that she could appear in the frame.

Kang Do Hwan's selfie skills have really improved a lot, and this photo turned out pretty good.

This made the makeup artist feel relieved and started to brag:
"Zhao Huanxi, thank you for taking such a nice picture of me~ Please keep your Instagram selfies like this in the future."

"Yes, I will try my best."

Jiang Zhaohuan walked out of the dressing room, already dressed in a plain black suit.

He also wore a pair of black-framed glasses, which gave him an inexplicable air of an IT elite.

Under the director's guidance, he first finished filming the part about going to work.

Afterwards, they went to the already set up scene to shoot the drinking and dining scenes. The extras were all actors temporarily brought in by the director.

This arrangement is done so as not to overshadow the main subject; the main perspective should still be on Jiang Zhaohuan's side.

After all the scenes were shot, Jiang Zhaohuan simply touched up his makeup, changed into pajamas, snuggled comfortably under the quilt, and started pretending to sleep.

Accidents also happened at this time.

Jiang Zhaohuan, who didn't get enough rest last night, fell asleep within seconds after touching the pillow.

The director hadn’t realized that Do Hwan was really asleep. After filming the sleeping scene, he couldn’t help but sigh to the assistant director:
"Oh my god, Do Hwan's acting is truly amazing. He's pretending to sleep really looks real!"

"Yes, his acting skills are really outstanding among the younger generation. Who knows, he might even break that person's record this year and win the Best Actor trophy."

After watching the clip, the director nodded with satisfaction again. Just as he was about to start shooting the second clip, he discovered something was wrong.

Why is Do Hwan still lying in bed?

The director thought that maybe he didn't shout loud enough and thought the performance was still going on.

He couldn't help but raise his voice and shouted at Do Hwan who was immersed in his acting on the bed:

"Diaohuan, we have to get ready to start filming!"

"..."

The director's response was naturally silence.

This made him a little confused. It couldn't be that Do Hwan wasn't acting and was really asleep.

The director walked forward and heard steady breathing as he approached.

No matter how you look at it, he really fell asleep!
What kind of devilish schedule is JYP on?

The filming time was only about ten seconds, but he was able to fall asleep in a short time and in a noisy environment.

The director looked at Che Chunhao with some hostility, thinking that the agent who was responsible for arranging the itinerary could not escape the sin of exploiting his employees.

"Do Hwan, wake up, we're still filming."

Jiang Zhaohuan was a little confused while sleeping, and he heard a stranger's voice in his ear.

Wait, stranger?!

Jiang Zhaohuan opened his eyes instantly and jumped up from the bed.

This frightened the innocent director. He took two steps back and asked cautiously:

"Zhaohuan, are you having a nightmare?"

It turned out to be the director. I almost thought it was some pervert breaking into a private house.

Jiang Zhaohuan breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly and said with a wry smile:
"Oh, sorry, I delayed the shooting progress."

"It's okay, Cho Hwan, you don't have to be so polite."

After returning to the shooting schedule, Kang Do-hwan got into the state very quickly, and the negligible number of NGs also made the entire shooting team very satisfied.

They wish that their future collaborator would be Kang Do Hwan, or at least be like Do Hwan.

Of course, this is impossible, and they wouldn't even dare to dream about it.

After saying goodbye to the filming crew one by one, Kang Do-hwan got back into his car.

He was planning to go home and have a rest, but he unexpectedly received a video call.

Since he and Bae Joo-hyun confirmed their relationship at the end of last year, he has had little contact with friends of the opposite sex.

He has always observed the male ethics, so he certainly won't go out with the opposite sex in private now.

It’s not that he is henpecked, but rather basic vigilance and respect.

If the media ever photographs him hanging out alone with a friend of the opposite sex, even if both parties deny it immediately, there will still be people who will keep holding on to the allegations.

Jiang Zhaohuan used to not care about scandals, but now that he has a family, he must absolutely avoid scandals.

He looked at the call from Sana and paused for two seconds before answering.

"Hey, Sana Noona, why did you suddenly think of calling me?"

On the other end of the phone, Sana Minatozaki opened her mouth as if she was saying something, but the signal was obviously not very good, and it was intermittent and I couldn't hear what she was saying at all.

Kang Do Hwan couldn't help laughing as he stared at Sana who was trying to speak on the screen.

He adjusted the car navigation and reminded:
"Noona, the signal is a bit bad over there. I can't hear what you said at all."

The strange thing is that Minatozaki Sana can clearly hear what So Hwan said.

She deliberately found a location where the signal seemed to be better, and then she spoke:

"Can you hear me now? I've changed my place."

"Yeah, I can hear it."

Jiang Zhaohuan placed his mobile phone on the stand so that he could take a picture of his profile.

As he started the car, he asked jokingly:
"Are you still in Neon? Are you planning to bring me some local specialties?"

"Yeah, I finally got a vacation this time, I will definitely come back to spend time with my family~"

Twice's schedule has always been busy, and days off are very precious to the members, as they are a rare opportunity for them to be themselves.

Minatozaki Sana is going to fly back to her country tomorrow, so when she heard what Chao Huan said, she took it seriously.

"If you want local specialties, I can buy them for you. Don't be polite. We made a lot of money this year."

"No, I was just joking. What do you want from me?"

"I can't come to you if I have nothing to do?"

"Of course it is possible."

Minatozaki Sana really had nothing to do. The only reason she wanted to make this call was because she missed Chao Huan.

As the time for the love ban draws closer, her thoughts begin to stir.

She had originally planned to confess her feelings at the end of the year, but there were no special days at that time.

The Christmas confession was a bit too ordinary, nothing memorable.

Minatozaki Sana walked forward holding her phone. She turned the camera around and said with a smile:

"I'm at the Children's Park in Osaka. It's not crowded here today. There just happens to be no one around."

No wonder she was wearing a mask, it turned out she went for a stroll in the park.

"The weather is pretty good over there. Take off your mask and breathe in more fresh air when no one is around."

"No, it would be troublesome if we were discovered."

Sana Minatozaki separates work and life very clearly, and she really doesn't want anyone to disturb her private time.

On stage, she can be Sana who works hard to please her fans, but off stage, she just wants to be an ordinary Sana Minatozaki.

She looked up at the sun and asked:

"Zhao Huan, are you going to join the crew for filming again?"

"Yes, we were supposed to join the crew today, but Han Ji-min got sick with a fever, so the crew decided to delay the start of the production by a week."

"Is that so? I'm so envious!"

Jiang Zhaohuan raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and said helplessly:
"Sana, don't be too greedy. Your schedule is no less than mine."

Minatozaki Sana curled her lips. After all, she couldn't expect a straight man to figure out her hidden meaning.

"What's wrong? Is it not okay for me to envy you for being able to play a couple with Han Ji-min?"

"Huh? You..."

Minatozaki Sana felt a little strange and frowned:
"What are you hesitating to say?"

Jiang Zhaohuan coughed twice and said seriously:

"Ahem, then I'll just say it straight."

"You say it."

"You really like it, huh?"

"..."

Minatozaki Sana never expected that Zhao Huan's train of thought was like this. She felt really wronged to be misunderstood by the boy she liked!
"Ah! He's dead!"

"?"

Jiang Zhaohuan hasn't got the answer yet. He doesn't understand why Sana is angry. Is he really overthinking it?

He touched the back of his neck awkwardly and decided to call and apologize when he got home.
