{Press conference: A mischievous man}

He doesn't show it often in public, but he had a mischievous side. He couldn't help but when she had to answer questions during the press conference. 

She started to be shy when she had to state the similarities between herself and her characters, Hye Ryung and Myeong Hee. She had easily mentioned the similarities between Myeong Hee and herself but she had become shy stating how she was chic like Hye Ryung.

"Should I help you answer, it seems embarrassing for you to answer it on your own," he teased. He  was ready to list down on her cute traits but she laughed, hitting him on the arm lightly to chide him. She gave him a coy look before continuing. His heart fluttered slightly at her adorable actions and he couldn't help but laugh. He knew she would whine about it later and he looked forward to it; another round of banter with her.

He was being greedy with her reactions and decided to prod her again when she was asked about her ex on-screen husband, Song Jae Rim. She had shyly replied that Jae Rim had texted her words of support for the new drama. 

"Did you reply?" He asked using the microphone. 

She was shocked at his sudden question, her eyes widen turning to him, "Yes, I did," she answered. He looked away smiling, her wide-eyed doe look was amusing. The rest of the cast members sniggered and she clenched her hand around the microphone at her lap, she was going to remember this and get back at him later. She too, was known for playing pranks and teasing people.

With the microphone away from him, he whispered, "you are just friends right?" 

She was shocked again, but answered with a yes. She knew he was playful but she didn't know he would show it during infront of the press at this time. He seemed to always managed his image well at his previous press conferences, she was going to take a jab at him later, she declared.

{Press conference - A tussle backstage}

He got into a bit of a tussle with her stylist. So Eun's dress seemed dangerously low at times and when he realised the dress could have covered her shoulders, he was slightly agitated with her stylist. His manager had to drag him away before an argument started.

"Soo Hyuk, get it together. You have to be more careful of your image. Earlier on at the press conference you were smiling too much at So Eun. Do you want to be part of a tabloid scandal?" 

"I don't see what's wrong to be open when you're in a relationship," Soo Hyuk argued. 

"You may feel fine but if you are in a relationship with someone, you also have to consider her thoughts and how it would affect her." 

Before Soo Hyuk could mention anything, a call was made for the actors to assemble for a Section TV interview. 

The cheery Joon Gi suggested they take a group shot while waiting for the mic tests to be done. Soo Hyuk forced a smile for his team and took the photo, seeing as he had the longest arms. 

"Oppa, make sure my face is smaller!" So Eun requested, it was a usual joke from her and Soo Hyuk nodded. He usually would have about it but he was in a bad mood.

During the interview, the aura radiating from Soo Hyuk could only be described as dark. When Joon Gi and So Eun's kiss scene was mentioned, the mood only became darker. Joon Gi could feel the bad vibe from his junior and tried to poke some fun and laughter into the conversation by bringing up how So Eun mentioned she wanted to kiss Changmin and Soo Hyuk as well. 

Soo Hyuk gave a bitter smile at that, he was happy to hear she wanted a kiss scene with him but he wasn't happy at all about Changmin. 

So Eun had heard about the small issue with Soo Hyuk and her stylist earlier and could feel that he was in a bad mood, a stark difference to the mischievous person at the press conference earlier. 

A chance to get back at Soo Hyuk for teasing her earlier came up and she hoped he would joke around again. When asked about Soo Hyuk joining "We Got Married", So Eun teased and said Soo Hyuk once told her he would not consider it. 

Soo Hyuk was looked down and gave a bitter laugh, he said that because there's no way he would be matched up with her, so there was no point in joining the program but he couldn't possibly tell the interviewer that. With a laugh he decided to bring their attention to his co-star Yubi instead.

After the interview, a worried So Eun had asked if he was alright, he gave a nod and smile and ushered her off the set as his manager started to hurry him off set too. He had another appointment to attend. Before leaving though, Soo Hyuk quickly found So Eun's stylist and apologised for his behaviour earlier. Her stylist brushed it off coolly and gave him a pat on the arm, forgiving him. 

On the way to his next appointment, Soo Hyuk was surprised to receive a text message from So Eun: Oppa, cheer up! I heard about the issue from Unnie, thank you for your concern, I appreciate it. Please do well in your next schedule with a happy heart. 

Soo Hyuk felt his heart burst with happiness, regaining his usual playful self, he replied, "I have to take care of my co-star who yearns to have a kiss scene with me." 

Sure enough with lightning speed a text message came back, "I only said that because Joon Gi oppa was being very annoying that day!!!" 

"Still, I don't think you should do a kiss scene with Changmin, DBSK fans are fierce and protective. I don't want my dongsaeng to be hurt."

"Oppa, you are not letting this topic go aren't you? Also, I'm your acting sunbae!!! Call me sunbae!" 

"Never. Be a good girl and listen to your Oppa, okay?"

"-angry sticker-" 

Soo Hyuk gave a huge laugh in the car, his spirits already picked up.

"Ya, kid are you feeling better already?" 

"Of course, sorry about earlier, Hyung."

"Just watch yourself in future." 

"Yes, Hyung," Soo Hyuk smiled sending back a furry of stickers to So Eun.
