Honestly I just scrolled through this really fast cause I'm done fucking around. The chapter before left on a cliffhanger like that and the new chapter is something totally different and then this ended with a cliffhanger that probably has nothing to do with the chapter before cliffhanger. (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

So who does the lady have tattooed on her wrist? Cause it's not the ml. His name is jaewon not jo jin woo or whatever. So what did she mean by them getting married?

She needs to convince ml to take that role and she already knows that ml is in love with mc so I guess she wants to keep things clear from the begging. She knows that he might hesitate because of his relationship with mc. It's like "look I need your help and you'll benefit from this, but don't worry I just need an scandal I also have a partner so I won't ask for more". Also she said that the scandal has to be kinda like a serious relationship, she's "not going to do it vaguely"
Just tell him, get rejected, then let the chasing arc happen. I feel like I'm Homer Simpson strangling bart screaming "the plot needs to move!"
