chapter 1
A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 1
I woke up early in the morning to the sound of thunder and heavy rain from afar.
I didn’t hear that it was raining, but what kind of rain is so loud in the morning? How do you go to work?
I barely wake up with a wrinkled body amidst small worries,
‘Oh right. Vacation.’
The fact that ‘challenge is fun’ was a forced vacation came to mind as a special arrangement for the World Cup group draw. free for a week.
hehehe.
The challenge is fun, and I am working as a sub-writer on an entertainment program.
Thanks to the World Cup broadcast, I almost forgot the vacation I got after a long time.
He rolled up the corners of his lips that went up to the temple and slipped back into the duvet. However, for some reason, the sleep I had once woken up did not come back.
It was a pity that I couldn’t sleep like honey in the morning, so I was fussing, and finally took off the blanket.
‘It was a great opportunity to oversleep… It’s a pity. Um, come to think of it, I’m not doing this. I have to write.’
I jumped up at the thought of the script I had been working hard on for several months.
Once I straightened my side and turned my neck left and right, I went to the refrigerator. In the refrigerator were a can of beer, half of the bottled water, and a lunch box from a convenience store after eating.
I rinsed my throat with bottled water and took a Choco Pie from the sink drawer and put it in my mouth. After a quick breakfast, I went to my desk and sat down.
opened the laptop. In the middle of the screen, the challenge was fun and I saw a folder. The folder that I visit most often. But now it is out of interest.
Find the script folder in the lower-right corner, place your cursor over it, and click it. In an instant, my cubs, like treasures, popped out.
These were dozens of works that I had been writing in my spare time since high school.
‘Well, okay. great.’
After looking at each piece of art for a while with lovely eyes, I pressed <Baristas Don’t Know Coffee> without hesitation.
It was a one-act play that I was hoping to become a drama debut.
***
My hometown is in the mountains of Hamyang, Mt. Jirisan.
Until middle school, I lived with my parents, digging for herbs and helping with farming, but in high school I had to go to the city to study abroad. Because there was no high school in town.
My friends went to the nearby Jinju to study abroad, but I came to Seoul. With the strong advice of my father, who was surprised in the big water, to remove the buttocks.
Well, it was good until I chose Seoul as my study destination, but the problem is that Seoul was a very unfamiliar place for me as a child.
A barren and lonely city with no close or distant relatives, no friends or acquaintances. Seoul.
I found my loneliness when I got my own room near school and started living alone. Even in the busy school life from morning to night, I felt severe loneliness, and I went one step further and chewed on solitude.
I was caught up in the urge to go back to my hometown several times a day, but I couldn’t show my weakness to my parents, so I clenched my teeth and endured it.
Perhaps that was it. I started watching dramas.
The drama became a ray of light for lonely Seoul life.
After knowing the drama, there was no time for loneliness. Because the more I fell in love with the drama in which various people and lives were melted, the more it became a new world.
I cried, laughed, rejoiced and angry with the drama.
Watching melodramas, I felt the emotions of love, I developed an eye for identifying criminals while watching thrillers, I remembered my parents while watching family dramas, and I learned the absurdity of life by watching dramas.
There was no more room for loneliness in my life.
One day I decided
“Let’s write a drama. It will be a comfort to lonely people like me.”
Drama has become my dream.
Fortunately, I was able to write a drama script with a few lectures and a few recipe books, probably because I had a talent for writing from an early age.
My friends studied and then played games, but I wrote dramas in that time.
That’s how I started writing and continued all the way to college.
No, rather, he broadened his genre to include movies and plays. With my script, I put up a play at the festival, and the club produced a web drama.
I heard somewhere that I could make money and even wrote a website, but as a result, I couldn’t make money. It took too much time, so I couldn’t do it in parallel with the drama.
When he was in his senior year of college, he immersed himself in writing a mini-series that would become his debut work. I was confident that I would win a prize in the contest, so I didn’t even think about the next best thing. just wrote
The idea was good and the writing was well written, so I thought it would work well. Then everything…
But is it a joke of fate?
Ironically, I became an entertainment sub-writer rather than a drama writer.
At the recommendation of a close senior, he worked part-time in an entertainment assistant tinker and was caught on the ankle for 5 years.
When I first became an entertainment writer, I thought I could return to a drama anytime, but the reality was not easy. Because the entertainment industry worked harder than I could have imagined, and I was gradually accustomed to the monthly salary that came in even a tiny little bit.
now i have to go back before it’s too late.

Quarreung-
shoot- shoot-
The raindrops fell on the edge of the roof of the rooftop room without any sign of stopping. The thunder got closer and the rain got stronger, but I didn’t care.
Sparkling eyes staring at the screen.
Ten fingers flying across the keyboard.
Consciousness was concentrated in the script.
<Baristas don’t know coffee>
This is a human healing drama in which ‘Chaerin’, a barista at the cafe ‘Black and White’, comforts people’s hearts with coffee.

Knock-knock-
‘Chaerin’ gets a job at the cafe ‘Black and White’ because she likes the smell of coffee.
It senses the emotions of the guests with the talents bestowed upon them by the heavens, and brews coffee to match them.
Love, joy, happiness, longing, loneliness, sadness, chagrin, anger, boredom, helplessness.
Guests with all kinds of emotions come in black and white and find comfort in Chaerin’s coffee. Chaerin quickly became a celebrity on social media, and eventually even came out to cover the broadcast station.
However, she is a beginner who has never properly learned about coffee. ‘Hyeon-se’, a professional barista who came with a reporter, looks down on Chae-rin and looks down on her while being disappointed.
Mortal Life: (low contemptuous voice) Is the coffee a joke? How do you become a barista without even knowing the basics? You must learn from the basics.
awkward atmosphere. Reporters don’t know what to do. Chaerin quietly opens her mouth.
Chaerin: (Standing up from the seat) But you should go and have a cup of coffee I made. Wait.
Tadadak- Tadadak-
Although the second half was full of clichés, it seemed to be able to comfort viewers who wanted healing overall.
In case the rhythm would be cut off, I did not straighten my back once and filled in the white blanks.
Chaerin pours her own drip coffee into a small cup and serves it in front of the world. The moment the incense touches the tip of the nose, the mind of the present world opens.
The present world lifts a coffee cup with a slightly trembling hand. Sip your coffee slowly.
Mortal Life: This incense… (tears welling up)
Chaerin: (carefully) Does it taste good?
Current life: … …
I tried to say something, but the present world doesn’t say anything.
Tap tap tap tap-
In the end, Hyeon-se too is comforted by the wounds he had hidden deep in his heart and recognizes Chae-rin as a true barista.
tadadak-
“hahaha, it’s finally over!”
made the last stop.
I hoped it was really done. I wanted to shout hooray, but my tense arms didn’t have the strength, so I shouted only in my heart.
There were a few shortcomings, but I thought it was good enough.
‘If you meet a good director and actors, it will be offset. I don’t make dramas alone.’
Feeling full even if you don’t eat. It was as reassuring as holding a maturity savings account in hand.
So proud of myself,
Urreung-
flash- flash-
brutal weather.
Now the sky was accompanied by lightning.
‘It’s terrifying. If only there was an outdoor shoot on a day like this… Ugh, I hate to even think about it.’
I was shaking my head from side to side and suddenly I felt like I was going out. Come to think of it, I only ate one Choco Pie today.
I remembered the half-empty convenience store lunch box and went to the refrigerator. To others, it may be a shabby lunch box, but to the hungry, it is the king’s table.
I quickly took out my lunch box and put it in the microwave. And I scraped it off and ate it without leaving a single grain of rice or bean sprouts. I was quite hungry. For dessert, I picked up one can of beer left in the refrigerator.
rumble bang-
The weather was still damn good, but whatever. It didn’t matter to me, who wrote all the articles and even called me.
Now it’s time for a real vacation.
Watch the drama you’ve been putting off.
I took a sip of beer and found a bag of wasabi-flavored almonds to soothe my boredom.
He picked up the remote control lying on the floor and turned on the TV. I clicked the Webflix shortcut, and in an instant, various types of dramas filled the screen.
“Ah, good.”
For me, who loves dramas, just the home screen of Webflix was happiness itself.
Without hesitation, I searched for <Twenty-One Summer>. This is the work of director Oh Sang-shik, who I like, as it hit the big jackpot last summer.
In the meantime, I’ve only seen it sparsely, but I haven’t been able to drive it regularly, but I was planning to finish it this vacation. I cherished and saved for a day like today, but today has finally come.
I pressed the first episode of the drama while drinking the remaining beer.
The first scene came from actor Lee Dong-min, a best-selling author suffering from social phobia.
Lee Dong-min is an actor who started out as an idol and started acting, but he had excellent acting skills and erased his idol image and was on the rise as an actor.
However, since the summer of the age of 21, there has been no work yet. I thought maybe I was choosing a work while taking a breather.
In the next scene, actress Yoo Jeong-an, a 21-year-old female college student who dreams of romance, appeared. After taking on various small roles as a rookie, the first leading role must have been the summer at the age of 21.
Even now, when I turn on the TV, I can see Yoo Jung-ahn well. Along with the modifier that it is the next-generation prospect.
He immersed himself in the drama with a serious attitude.

Kwakwa! Bang!
Until I hear an explosion that sounds like the world will end.
Boom!
jump!
Jjiik!!!
“Mom!”
I instinctively hid under the desk.
Avoiding the roaring sound that seemed to shatter the ground with a hammer and the ferocious light that seemed to split the sky in two.
crackle-
The lights in the rooftop room went out and the TV turned off. The noise of the refrigerator was also quiet, probably as if all the electricity had gone out.
“Ahh! shit, what is it! damn! How can lightning fall like this? All electronics are not broken!”
I was so embarrassed by the unexpected development that I cursed spontaneously.
I couldn’t help but wonder if the house was safe or if I was okay.
Whoops- bang!
flash- flash-
shoot- shoot-
For a while, I watched the situation under the desk. The torrential rain and thunder and lightning were still there, but for some reason it didn’t seem like there was going to be a direct hit like before. probabilistically.
‘Could it happen twice? I’ll have to check if the lights and electronics are okay.’
I shook my head to get out. But at that moment, a suspicious wire came into view.
A single white wire plugged into a multi-cap under the desk.
Have you ever wondered where this wire was going?!
“laptop? laptop. Oh no, no, no, no!!!”
I suddenly thought it was a wire that used to charge my laptop.
I frantically crawled out of my desk and checked the safety of my laptop. If the parts inside burn out, it’s doomed.
My hair stood on end just thinking about the script flying. I thought it would be better to be struck directly by lightning.
“Please, please, please!”
Desperately, I pressed the power on my laptop. One second felt like an eternity.
Gying-
However, the laptop worked as usual without worrying about it. My shrunken heart pumped vigorously.
“Ah, yes, yes. Oh, grandpa, grandpa. thank you really grateful man. Thank you man.”
I let out a sigh as my legs relaxed. It was a short time, but I was so nervous that I felt like my neck was going to be choked up.
In any case, my cubs, who are like treasures, were guarding their positions without any disease. The warm <Barista Doesn’t Know Coffee> was also smiling at me.
“done. As long as the laptop is safe, there is nothing to worry about.”
Pavabat! Pavabat!
wing- wing-
I was relieved, but I heard a small noise as the fluorescent light came on and the refrigerator was running. All the electronics were fine, without an electric pot, microwave, and a few washing machines.
“Huh, that’s nice. no damage Shall we go back to the drama Jeong-joo?”
I’m sure it’s fortunate, but there was a little bit of discomfort that seemed like something wasn’t fortunate, but I sat down in front of the TV again, ignoring my feelings.
I pressed the power button on the remote control. I thought it was enough to see the red light flashing and being eaten.
By the way…
what. That was it. The TV only worked with the power button, everything else was dead.
“Why is this? can’t you?”
When you press the power button, a landscape of a lake somewhere in Europe comes out, and the channel selection should float above it, but now it’s just a black screen.
The plan to run a drama during the vacation was disrupted.
In addition, it was disappointing that the 42-inch OLED TV, which was less than a year old, had lost its taste. There are still a few months left…
It was a big disappointment because it was a TV that I bought with a big heart to watch the drama properly in the absence of a living.
“Everyone else is fine, but why was the TV hurting only you?”
I patted the back of the TV with a sad heart. I shook it back and forth as if asking if I really went.
beep_
But it was then.
[Do you want to start a Genius Writer channel?]
[Yes / No]
Eh! Genius Writer Channel? This is my first channel, what is it?
An embarrassing situation was unfolding. The channel asked the question again as if to quickly choose ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
In an instant, a thousand thoughts came to mind.
‘Maybe it was a channel that I was subscribed to by default without my knowledge. Or was it lightning and confusion, so I was able to watch the channel for free? Well, thanks… no. It can’t be. It might be a new scam. You have to come to your senses.’
But, unlike the complicated mind,
The finger was already pressing ‘yes’.
