Episode 53
Garosu-gil in Sinsa-dong.
“…Cut. okay. Thank you very much for your hard work.”
“Waaaaaaaaa!!!”
When the director gave an OK sign, the voices of the filming crew rang out.
It was the last scene of the Friday-Saturday drama < Why Can't I Love Me >.
The best youth romantic comedy in the second half of the year, both in name and reality, recorded a viewership rating of 9.4 percent, which is quite high for cable programming, and has been flying high ever since its first broadcast.
In the meantime, not only the filming team but also the actors ran all night due to the murderous shooting schedule, including local locations, but as a result, it became a topic to spread the name of the drama by driving around every day.
– Kyaaaaaaaagh!
– right! Yut! light! Knock! affection! you! min!
– Oppa, I’m dying—!!!
– love you!!! I love you Jung Yumin!!!
Of course, the person who benefited the most was none other than the slender man in front of him.
“Yeah~. I don’t know whose son he is, but he’s very popular.”
“Is a family just a family? If it wasn’t for my job, I would have thought I would have seen it once in my life.”
“That’s right.”
Hororok!
Cinematographer Kang Man-sik drank mixed coffee at the words of assistant director Jang Jae-ha.
Time had already passed like this.
It is true that after the decision to organize the novel < Why Can't I Love Me > was decided, the drama production team had no choice but to be busy filming the tight live broadcast.
In addition, as a result of constantly shooting locations starting this spring, I was able to finish filming < Why Can't I Love Me > within less than 5 months of the production period.
It may be a fairly generous schedule for some, but it was quite a schedule for a full meal.
By the way…
“Come on! take a picture! Look here! One, two, three!”
“Kim-chi~!”
Considering that people were crushed during the forced march of more than 15 hours a day, the sight of Yoo-min taking pictures with the staff in front of the two food trucks—or rather, dessert and tea—was surprising.
Therefore, Man-sik often thought that Yu-min might be a robot or an iron man rather than a human.
It was a case that I did not think of as a 3rd generation chaebol, which is difficult even for actors who have had years of experience.
“I can proudly say that I’m quite strong-boned here, but… He’s a great person in many ways. Mr. Yumin.”
“Everywhere you go, there are strange species.”
“yes. If it were me, I would live my life doing what I want to do.”
“For that friend, I guess this is what he wants to do right now. look at the director Flowers have bloomed on your face.”
“Kick kick. Wouldn’t it be difficult for even that nobleman to shout at Yoo-min? Mice and birds might disappear without even noticing.”
“Right. I was too pure.”
“In other words, it is also a great opportunity to leave a bond with Yushin Group.”
Jaeha raised the corner of his mouth at the joke of dinner.
Those words were not wrong.
Although he is a talented director who has made hits in both his debut and next films thanks to the full push of the production company, it is absurd to say that he is hysterical towards Yoo-min, who is a member of the best group in Korea and boasts a worldwide fandom.
Even as a dinner with the director for a long time, it could be said that it was crazy beyond nonsense enough to shake my head.
Yumin had that kind of brand power.
“Well… even though there was nothing to bump into in the first place.”
“I heard you were a pro gamer before. I thought I was originally an actor. An actor who rolled his eyes in the theater.”
“Originally, the world is unfair. It’s not that he’s bad.”
“Yes? I think so.”
Jaeha turned his head at Mansik’s chin.
It seemed that the photo shoot was over.
Kim Da-hye, who has recently turned from a model to an actress and is well-received, and Yu-min, who is chatting with her.
“The picture is nice~. Okay~.”
“Are you jealous?”
“Isn’t that a long time ago? You should drink soju and fall asleep.”
“Are you really going to die today?”
“Okay~. I’ll send you a koi. Don’t you want to?”
“Lee Nam. you died today haha.”
Poof!
And Jaeha turned around with the meal and drank the mixed coffee he was drinking with the meal at once to clean up the scene.
It was because, as they said, the man behind them lived in a different world.
“The drama’s ending party… are you coming?”
“The end date? When was that?”
Dahye Kim could not properly look at the face of the man standing in front of her.
It was partly because of the man’s height, and partly because his emotions were restless.
Jeong Yoo-min.
If it was short, if it was short, if it was long, it was a long shoot, but a man who raised his heart dozens of times a day to the extent that he gave out quite a lot of NGs while working with him.
And just by talking to him like this, Dahye couldn’t stop the tickling feeling welling up in her heart without even realizing it.
‘I must be crazy. Why am I really like this?’
It was because she had never felt this kind of emotion from her drama co-star since her debut in the entertainment industry at an early age.
“Da-hye is attending, so I have to go. I don’t know if my schedule will allow it.”
“Ah…”
“Why? Do you really want me to go?”
“Uh, that’s why…”
“I really want to see Dahye.”
“No kidding.”
“haha. I’m not kidding.”
When Yumin smiled, Dahye’s face turned red.
It was a reaction that anyone of the opposite sex who had a crush on him would do.
Sculpted features and kind personality.
A calm tone and a lot of laughter.
The dependability that comes from his physique and his sense of silently taking care of what he needed were enough conditions to win the hearts of many female fans, and it was no different for Dahye, who had been a fan of Yumin for a long time.
demonic nature.
If this man’s charm were to be dismissed as one, wouldn’t it be demonic?
“Even if it’s not the closing party, please contact me. I’ll buy you a meal.”
“Bob…?”
“yes. I hope it’s okay. Ah Da-hye, you must be having a hard time because you are busy.”
“Oh no! I really… I really like it!”
drain!
Dahye closed her eyes and shouted, and some of the staff turned their heads toward them.
It looked like he was wondering what was going on.
The staff turned their heads away from Da-hye, who was blushing and waving her hands as if she didn’t understand the meaning of the scene because she was organizing the scene.
“Wow… Mr. Dahye, you have a very good voice. Aren’t I mistaken for a kidnapper?”
“Oh, I’m sorry… that’s…”
“Call me. this is my number Not the one managed by the manager hyung.”
“Really?”
“I’m only giving it to Dahye. I’ll wait.”
Dahye opened her mouth blankly as Yumin put her index finger to her lips.
It was as if he had gone out of his mind.
Kim Da-hye, who is always mentioned without leaving out when talking about innocent and glamor celebrities, is highlighted in variety shows for her innocent and sloppy appearance.
“I’ll go. See you later.”
“Ah yes…!”
And after shaking Dahye’s hand once, Yumin walked towards the manager who was waiting for her and lowered her head.
It was a bonus to glance at the tree-lined road with bored eyes while fiddling with the ear lobe once.
‘It would be nice to play with.’
It was a creepy, terrible inside that never leaked out of the mask.
“Are you here?”
“yes.”
As Yoo-min climbed into the van leaving eight bodyguards behind, a man in a suit spoke to him.
It was Kim Woo-sung, his exclusive secretary.
“What about the next schedule?”
“Signed a partnership agreement with the Songhai Group. There is a terrestrial talk show guest star cast LIVE and an advertising model shoot for the brand HERMISE. As a game team part owner, you can adjust the events you attend.”
“Did you have a fan meeting?”
“It will be held in Sangam-dong after 15 days. There is a request for a report from an entertainment information program.”
“all right.”
widely!
As Yumin said, the door of the luxury van closed automatically.
It was a schedule that would make ordinary people stick out their tongues.
That would also be true, as Yoo-min’s star rating was no different from a guaranteed check, and there are hundreds of thousands of people worldwide who are enthusiastic about Yu-min.
Although it was like new blood compared to Yushin Group, the original family, the value of the name Yumin currently has was by no means small.
“Contact me via message when you arrive. Don’t wake me up yourself.”
“yes.”
It was for that reason that he equipped his van with a portable virtual reality access device costing tens of millions of won.
“really.”
Yumin got lucky while wearing the < Galaxy-H55 Apple > helmet.
Come to think of it, there was one thing I forgot.
“What did I ask you before? Did you find it?”
“yes. It wasn’t too difficult.”
“What are they doing?”
“It looks like it has quite a back stomach.”
“His back?”
“yes. It’s called Wiryongbang… They were Chinese gangsters whose predecessors were.”
In response to Yumin’s question, Wooseong turned the car towards Hannam IC and said.
It was a grave tone for a story without a sense of reality.
Rumor has it that the users who attacked Yumin in the game a while ago found out that they had connections with the Triads, a Chinese criminal organization.
And after recalling the contents delivered through the dedicated team within the group, Woosung began to recite information to Yumin in a harmless voice.
At first glance, the pronunciation was enough to make even a tolerable announcer go away.
“I don’t think I have any direct affiliation with them, but it appears that they are being funded by a part of the Triads. When it comes to expanding their power in the game, these guys do everything they can… The raid on the young master is more of a simple crime aimed at money and valuables.”
“Because I’m wearing something that looks expensive and nice at first glance?”
“yes. Or they use the thing to augment their power.”
Woo-sung continued to answer Yoo-min’s question.
There was no clearing water.
Investigating what Yoo-min is curious about isn’t too difficult for Woo-sung, who manages a dedicated team within the group, starting with their motives for attacking Yu-min and finding out what their potential goals are.
The entire process took less than a week.
If it’s natural, I’d say it’s normal.
Yu-min was also one of those who knew how to use what he had, but he, who had been in the group for a long time, knew very well how to use the power of the group.
“haha. They are funny people.”
When Woosung finished answering, Yumin raised the corner of his mouth.
It was a laugh that made me wonder if others had seen it.
In a way, it was a flawless smile, but those who knew him well would have felt eerie.
“Without checking who the other person is. I don’t even know what I’m holding. They’re just blind and run at you like dogs.”
“These are pretty tired guys. Judging by their past actions, they may continue to target the young master.”
“Continuously?”
“yes. I think that is very likely.”
Talk! Talk!
Then, Yumin rested his chin on Woosung’s words while stretching out his index finger and tapping the armrest of the seat as if he were playing a metronome.
The third generation of the conglomerate of the Yushin Group, who has no shortage of wealth, honor, or power.
And an organization called Wiryongbang, whose predecessor was the Triad.
The names of Chinese organized gangs and triads must have been uninspiring stories, but as long as it was a special environment called AC.
There was a high probability that the power of Yumin, who exerts great power in Korea, would not work.
I was lucky enough to find out now, but it was unclear how long the information would work.
It is also because this space of virtual reality seemed to be in close contact with reality, but it was not known what variables were lurking in it.
“This is why… I can’t quit the game.”
Fuck!
Even though it was interesting enough to make the corner of Yu-min’s mouth go up, which has everything, even to the point of catharsis.
“…create it. Force.”
“All right.”
Booooooooooooo!
Soon, the top-of-the-line van carrying Yumin quickly passed over the Han River.
