Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 214
71. Fake Trip (1)
The next day.
Joo Hyuk slowly prepared to leave for Japan.
Plane tickets were booked and a hotel was set up right near where the players were staying.
Now all you have to do is pack your bags and leave.
I take out a large suitcase and put my clothes in it.
The hands that were moving busily stop at some point.
‘ah.’
Without even realizing it, I was trying to take care of Sanghyeon’s things.
‘I am the only one.’
It’s been over two weeks since I’ve been alone in this house. I still feel like I haven’t adjusted well.
Yesterday, I accidentally boiled two servings of soft tofu stew and ate it all by myself.
Oh, if that’s the case, is it for one person?
Anyway. Joo-hyuk unpacks again and brings a suitcase of an appropriate size.
thud.
I put it down in the living room and unfold it.
This suitcase was what he brought with him when he first came to this house out of anger.
Seeing this reminds me that it’s been a while since I’ve been home.
At the same time, it was really okay.
Parents seemed incredibly important, but even if they didn’t exist, it wasn’t a big problem. So surprising.
Joo-hyuk thinks about this and that and packs up his clothes and toiletries again.
Jiyiing.
[Jia: We’re leaving today, right? I’m really sorry ㅠㅠ Let’s go together when I’m done.]
A message came from Jia.
Last time when I was purchasing tickets, I asked if I would like to go to Japan with him.
She said she couldn’t go because she had work to do.
Tsk.
He feels regretful, thinking that there is nothing he can do.
[Joo-hyuk: It’s okay~ Let’s go next time]
I don’t see Jia often these days.
I thought it was because Jia was free during the national competition and Joo Hyuk was busy.
‘It looks like you’re doing something else.’
I guess that wasn’t it either.
It feels like she is also preparing something on her own.
thud.
He closed the suitcase and jumped up.
“eww. waist.”
Grumbling.
Stretch as if to warm up and then raise both arms.
“ruler! Let’s go! Mix nuts! Advance to Japan!!”
There was no one who responded.
“Haha….”
* * *
Besides Joo Hyuk, there were other people whose fates depended on Joseon’s advancement to the quarterfinals.
“Oh okay!”
That is Jang Tae-soo.
PD Jang.
His new company has now achieved its greatest success with fake national flags.
In other words, if this project stops, his company also stops for a while.
“It’s smooth sailing until the quarterfinals!”
So, it is good news in many ways that Joseon advanced to the quarterfinals.
Even the opponent in the quarterfinals is Japan.
“This… is really amazing. This is just heaven telling me that SCB is screwed! “I just told you to keep an eye on me!?”
He was very excited and talking.
The only person who was this excited was PD Jang.
“Haha… Yes. Yes….”
“Wow….”
The employees were so hopeful and passionate when filming the first episode of Fake National Team.
They had panda-like eyes and were clumsily smiling along with the corners of their mouths raised.
“hey. You all are lost…”
Ha.
Taesoo Jang stops talking and sighs.
Because he knows.
The fake national team was content that could save this company, but it was also content that really should not have been done.
It consumes too much time, manpower and mental energy.
This is not just a problem for the editorial staff sitting in this office right now.
Freelance writers, cameramen, etc. who follow the players’ schedules.
Everyone was overdoing it.
The fact that the fake national team is doing well is the only reason it is holding on.
“Reinforcement of staff… I will try. You bastards. “Just wait a moment.”
“PD. I said that starting from episode 3. Episode 8 is up now… Ha. Hahaha….”
“….”
To be honest, I don’t have any money.
Profits have not yet been settled.
You have to wait until next month for the settlement to be complete.
At that time, you can hire more editors even if you sprinkle incense and everything else.
Hang in there!
I’d like to say that, but that too has its drawbacks.
‘The problem is that it was after the fake national team.’
If you hold on, the fake national team will be over when that time comes. Even if Joseon wins, it is over by then.
Even if they could hire more workers at that time, would they really hire them when there is no place to use them right now?
This is a problem that concerns the president.
“hey. Are you really going to make it to the semifinals? uh? They say that Japan beat Osmando in the preliminaries and came in first place. “You’ll probably lose.”
In the end, there is only one thing he can do.
We comfort our employees by telling them that this will be their last time.
“…Producer, you said that Joseon wouldn’t even make it to the finals.”
These bastards with good memories.
PD Jang swallows dry saliva.
“hey! At that time, everyone was like that, including me!”
“…So, we can go to the semifinals this time too. “It’s a Korea-Japan war, and I’m not going to do it with my teeth clenched.”
“Is this soccer!? uh? If I just grit my teeth and run, I’ll jump even further!? What if I clench my teeth?! Is the VNS level going up further!? “This is not the sport for that!”
“You should at least focus a little more. Be patient. You honestly have no intention of hiring employees, right? yes?”
“….”
PD Jang was speechless.
“I’m not a fool and I know everything, right? This lasts until this month at most. I guess I’ll have to hire some staff and they’ll have to leave soon. Right?”
“….”
“No, then please bring some freelancers.”
“hey. “What kind of free guy…”
Would you say he does something like this?
And do you know how much freelancing costs?
widely.
Taesu Jang touched his forehead and swallowed what he wanted to say.
“They will give you a lot of incentives. So…”
In the end, I had no choice but to appease him with compensation.
It was then.
smart.
Someone knocked on the office door.
“So… let’s hold on for a while. uh?”
“How much are you going to give me? how much!”
“I’ll have to wait until I get to know that, man! Are you stupid!? uh?!”
Of course, they didn’t hear the knock because they were fighting with each other raising their voices.
And again.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
The knocking sound was louder this time.
One of the employees looked puzzled and got up from his chair.
“Ah two two minutes! Just be quiet for a moment! Stop fighting! “Didn’t you hear something?”
“…what?”
PD Jang stopped squealing for a moment, but Employee Nam shouted more as if his fever had cooled down.
“why! I’m speaking for all of you, right!? uh?! You chewed like that when you were drinking, so why are you fighting now?”
“That’s not it! “Someone came!!”
Saying that, she runs over and opens the door.
“Haha… I guess you’re busy.”
Perhaps sensing the atmosphere, the customer rolled his eyes here and there and said hello.
“hello. “My name is Seo Ji-ah, Almond Channel editor.”
“…!”
At that moment, everyone stopped their work in surprise and turned their heads towards her.
“Ji Jia. What’s going on here? No, please sit down first. yes.”
Tae-su Jang greets her by placing a cushion on the cheap sofa and gesturing to bring her a drink, as if asking her when they had a fight.
‘What’s going on? No way….’
With a strange sense of anticipation.
* * *
Some people had all their problems resolved by reaching the quarterfinals, while others had more problems.
None other than the national competition team.
“ha. “Is this a big deal?”
Fang’er sat down on the sofa in the hotel lobby and lamented.
Seeing him like that, Sanghyeon asked.
“why?”
“It looks like I can’t practice.”
Joseon lost the war to reserve practice sites.
“If I want to practice, do I have to rent a stadium or contact one of the capsule rooms on the list here and rent one?”
The stadium was initially a practice location provided by the Civil M organizers.
So it works out equally.
However, with that alone, the amount of practice is small.
“The stadium is not a problem. “Capsule rooms are a problem.”
The rest of the practice needs to be done in the capsule room. This was the problem.
The capsule rooms on the list are already fully booked.
“We couldn’t do a single thing, but the other teams had already done it all. “Especially because they are locals, the Japanese team has a full schedule every day.”
During the week-long rest period, Joseon can only practice once.
“What should I do?”
The cameraman and writer nearby.
The fake national team filming team was also embarrassed.
“I do not know. Mr. Ha. “What do you know if you’ve made it this far into the finals?”
The Joseon team had trouble making reservations for the stadium, so there was only one spot left.
This happened because we had never made it to the quarterfinals of the finals.
“It’s my first time in the quarterfinals, but… Cookie was hospitalized. Something isn’t working properly right now. “Miss…”
Cookie’s hospitalization wasn’t just a problem with the game.
There are people who can replace games. In reality, there was really no one who could replace him.
“And there’s something strange.”
Pang-er looked at Sang-hyeon and whispered in a low voice.
“When I told them that we were the Korean Civil M national team, their attitude seemed to change. “Think tank people are still looking into it… At first, they thought I was a tourist and they talked as if they would do it, but after looking at the number of reservations and finding out it was a national team, they didn’t seem to let me know.”
Well, I don’t know if that’s possible… Panga finished by muttering like that.
Sanghyeon was stung for no reason when he heard those words.
‘Could it be… that they won’t lend it out because of me?’
I wonder if they didn’t lend it out because the Japanese language was too strong?
No, since it was small in the first place, I think the opposing team could have come out like this even if they didn’t speak Japanese.
Isn’t it the opponent’s home game?
I heard it from my seniors. When they play away games in European countries, they come to our lodgings, make noise and disturb us so we can’t sleep, and deliberately give us free alcohol at bars so we can’t practice the next day.
I even said that this example was disturbing in a gentle way.
In reality, they use all kinds of unspeakable and despicable tricks.
Sanghyeon was well aware of the shadow that always lurks behind the sports of fair, fair and clean competition…
‘this.’
Even if I stay still, this happens to me. They even laughed at me for being short.
‘It’s my fault.’
Sang-hyeon eventually came to the conclusion that this was his fault.
That’s why I’m trying my best to solve this problem.
‘Hmm…’
I was trying hard to roll it.
A bright idea came to mind.
“Kim Joo-hyuk!”
“Oh, I’m surprised. “What is it!?”
I’m asking Joo Hyuk for a favor.
Joo Hyuk solves these problems well.
“Kim Joo-hyuk. “Should I ask Joo-hyuk for a favor?”
“….”
Fang’er looked at the cameraman and writers in bewilderment.
It seems like he’s asking me to take a look at him.
But they were dying of pleasure from Sang-hyeon’s nonsense.
Pang-er realizes that they have different goals from the beginning and speaks back to Sang-hyeon.
“Oh no, are you saying that’s the solution? “I was really worried about it.”
“It’s the perfect solution.”
You don’t know Joo-hyuk.
Sang-hyeon added, but Pang-er shook his fist as if he wanted to give him a honey chestnut.
Then I felt like the camera was zooming in that direction.
“Yumma. That person isn’t here. Even we here now can’t solve it. What should I do? “You just said the capsule room list is full?!”
“Hmm….”
“No. So, how do you think it will be resolved if Kim Joo-hyuk comes? “We can do that.”
“I don’t know about that.”
“????”
Since we can’t do it, we’re going to call Kim Joo-hyuk.
… I thought, but I didn’t bother to say this.
If that were the case, it seemed like honey would really fly.
For some reason, even though Panga didn’t say it out loud, he seemed to think that Sanghyun’s remarks were also having an impact. If you touch it any further, it will explode.
‘Still, if Joo-hyuk had been there… it would have been resolved.’
Sang-hyun thought that if Joo-hyuk was here, it would be resolved.
The problem is that he is not here now.
In that case, I had no choice but to become Joo Hyuk.
What would he think if he came here?
‘Hmm…’
He thinks again.
‘If Joo Hyuk wasn’t in Korea.’
I can’t believe I’m having this thought again.
again.
‘If Joo Hyuk was in Japan.’
Damn it again.
Have you lost your mind because you have someone who solves all the problems for you?
‘uh?’
Meanwhile, something flashed through Sanghyun’s head.
This time it was real.
