chapter 32
A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 32
Meeting Ji So-young and Song Seon-ah in an unexpected place made me happy. They also got into the elevator with a smile on their faces.
After confirming that the first floor button had already been pressed, Song Seon-ah opened her mouth.
“I never imagined that I would meet the author here. I was still talking to Soyoung and the writer.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Soyoung has officially signed a contract and came out. Starting today, I am an exclusive actor for Forrest.”
“Hey. Congratulations. Mr. Soyoung.”
At the audition yesterday, Manager Jang Hyuk-soo looked at me like that, and this morning he immediately puts a stamp on it.
It’s nice to be cool
“It’s all thanks to the author.”
Ji So-young looked at me and smiled shyly. When I shifted my gaze to Min Yu-ri, who was standing next to me, it disappeared immediately.
The two nodded slightly, pretending to know each other awkwardly.
For a moment, the air in the elevator became stuffy, but I thought it was because of my mood, and I continued the conversation with Ji So-young.
“What did I do? So-Young herself… So, she went looking for her own trajectory.”
“no. The writer gave me a lot of courage and also gave me a chance. If it wasn’t for the writer, I would still be doing grape thinning in the orchard.”
“Even so… everything So-Young is too open.”
I stopped trying to say that I was good at acting.
It was because I remembered that Min Yu-ri, who failed the audition yesterday, was in the same room. She was also selected as the main character of my second work, Opal, but it was still not polite.
The air just kept getting heavier.
How about this atmosphere?
‘Maybe it’s because Soyoung and Yuri didn’t officially greet each other. Let’s overcome this atmosphere by introducing each other.’
I forced myself to put on a bright expression and tried to introduce myself.
“Ah, I see. You two haven’t officially said goodbye yet.”
“I know. Because there can be no one in Korea who doesn’t know Yuri.”
“I was also very impressed with Soyoung’s coffee brewing. Please make me a drink next time.”
The conversation between the two was natural, but somehow it felt unnatural…
Is this going well enough?
“Coffee is Suna’s specialty here. If you come to the cafe, you will be able to eat as much as you like.”
As Ji So-young pointed to Song Seon-ah, Min Yu-ri’s eyes turned to Song Seon-ah. Min Yu-ri lightly greeted her and opened her mouth.
“I want to drink coffee from So-young.”
“Then I’ll make it for you next time I have a chance.”
“thanks.”
“But why are you so good at singing and dancing? Yesterday’s stage was really great. After all, I enjoyed my work so much that I forgot.”
“Yeah, what. Because it’s my specialty. Next time we have a concert, come visit us. I will invite you.”
“really? Then thank you so much. Please invite me.”
ha-
Why is it so hot here? Is the air conditioner broken?
Why is my throat so stuffy again?
Suddenly, Ji So-young turned to me.
“Writer.”
“Keck. Yes. Mr. Soyoung.”
“You haven’t eaten yet, have you? I’d like to serve you a meal. All of this is thanks to the writer, so as a token of gratitude.”
“Ah, that.”
Before even mentioning that there is a prior promise,
“I’m sorry, Soyoung. Today, I first asked the writer for a meal.”
Min Yu-ri stepped forward and stopped talking.
jjik-
A small spark flew between the two.
I need to clear this up quickly.
“I’m sorry for the two of you. I have a lunch reservation today!”
In a loud voice, both of them came out and declared that they could not eat.
I’m already supposed to eat with Han-gyeol!
“yes?”
“Oh~”
A lament bursting from both mouths at the same time.
And the elevator arrived at the first floor.
“Then, have a delicious lunch, both of you.”
I quickly got off the elevator and left the place.
***
Caught up in the fight between the two actresses, I almost broke my back, and left the forest porch rubbing the goosebumps on my arms.
whiz-
The text message that arrived then. It was consistent.
[I paid half today. Come to Sushi Haru.]
[Where is that?]
[A restaurant specializing in dining sushi near our company. It’s a place where you have to make a reservation in advance, but when I called, they said that there was a reservation cancellation, so I got it.]
[I know the expensive places well. Good job. I am going right now.]
[Don’t wait.]
[okay.]
I was subtly worried that I would eat cheap food, but to no avail, Han Kyul hired an expensive and luxurious Japanese restaurant.
also my friend
After checking the text message that I received earlier, I took a taxi. When I asked my uncle to go to Sushi Haru, I immediately understood that it was a fairly famous restaurant and took me to him.

“So, Choi Han-gyeol, you must be happy to eat with me today.”
Before coming here, Han Kyul Lee’s face was filled with envy as he solved the story that Min Yu-ri and Ji So-yeong suggested to eat in turn.
“Seriously, I ask again, is it really? The Min Yu-ri I know, and the Ji So-young at Blanc Noir had a fight over asking you to eat?”
“yes.”
“Ha~ It’s hard to believe until you see it with your own eyes.”
“believe. I am that kind of person now. Representative Forest is also impatient because he wants to keep me exclusive.”
“Wow. Great. Your life is now a flower road. envy. friend. But when you think about it, this is completely ridiculous.”
“What else do you mean?”
“So you’re talking about Soyoung and Yuri, and I’m meeting you.”
“right. I know it’s an honor.”
“Definitely crazy. Is that what you do as a man? It seems that your instincts are fading away. I am a single-celled amoeba, but you are already a corpse.”
“is it. Do I have to go back right now?”
“late. The order has already been placed.”
Tension rose for a moment in the story of the two actresses, but Han Kyul-yi was getting dull again. Now it seemed like it was his turn to listen to the story.
“You mean that strict team leader gave you half a car?”
“How pathetic would I have been? You say you want to pay half, so do it. Would you like to get some fresh air and relax while watching a movie you want to see?”
He tapped Han Kyul on the shoulder without saying a word.
A waitress came over and set the sashimi soy sauce, ponzu sauce, salt, and raw wasabi, and the chef personally prepared each course and served it to the table.
“Let’s eat first. do you know what Do you feel good when you eat it?”
“Will this feeling go away if I eat? Still, it’s better than not eating.”
The first dish is webfoot octopus on a colorful platter. Compared to the pretty setting, there were ridiculously few webfoot octopuses, but the soft texture was not bad.
“Under the spinach is potato puree. You can spread it with a spoon and mix it up.”
“It seems to be permeated with the scent of Gaso Bush.”
“It is savory and fresh.”
“Slightly stir-fried spinach with kasuo bush. The more you chew, the more savory it gets.”
Friendly chef giving detailed recipes.
Next came wild sea bream and wild flounder.
“If you dip it in the middle ponzu sauce, it will be different.”
“yes.”
Although the red sea bream had visible tendons, it was not tough and went down the neck gently. What can the flounder say? The chewy and savory taste bursts out the more you chew.
At first, Han Kyul-yi’s expression, which had been chewing octopus for porridge, was gradually opening up.
“What do you think? Is it okay to eat it?”
“Even though it’s confirmed to go to hell, it’s comforting now.”
“Don’t worry too much. I read a book last time, and 90% of what people worry about doesn’t happen.”
“It’s all good to hear. lets think. Since the last time I met you, I was worried about being assigned to Ping Pong Plus, look. In the end, you have been ordered.”
“Uh, that’s right… but I don’t quite understand.”
“what?”
“The OTT business is a blue ocean. It’s not that I don’t like the department, it’s because of the president’s daughter I mentioned last time, right?”
“bingo. I don’t like the rumors about my company. They are the same age as us. But do you run a business by beating your father? can it go well? If I go bankrupt, I will be the only one unemployed.”
“But there are many cases where rumors end with rumors. I’ve been broadcasting for 5 years. There are all kinds of rumors circulating, but if you look closely, there are nine out of ten cases where this is not the case.”
“It’s the broadcasting industry.”
“No, you don’t know until you do something. You may not be able to experience it yourself. So be strong. You might be grateful for going to Ping Pong Plus later.”
I comforted my friend as best I could. By adding inner strength to the strength I have accumulated over the years,
But Hankyul shook her head and sighed.
at that time,
Druck.
bar table.
I felt the guest sitting next to me sitting next to me.
Smells like a soft, feminine perfume.
‘Well, it’s a nice scent.’
But without time to enjoy the scent,
“You know, because I worked with Marie Kim.”
“a. Why is Mari Kim out there? To put such a cheap name on such a precious food.”
My appetite plummeted at the sudden Kimmari attack.
For example, do you hear something like that? are you a friend I rinsed my mouth with water and wiped my ears with a wet towel.
Han Kyul stared blankly at me like that,
“What would you do if the president’s daughter is 100 times Kim Mari?”
“Oh, take it out again. that name.”
“Chit. He said all the good things earlier that it wasn’t his business. Kim Marie may also have goodness hidden in rumors.”
“hey. That’s not real. As for Marie Kim, I’ve been through 5 years, and the president’s daughter is hidden under a veil.
“It’s obvious just looking at the truth revealed by the president’s daughter. He’s selfish and he’s whining at his dad, and he’s too young. So I’m screwed Ah, how did you get into this company… if it goes bankrupt like this.”
Irrespective of our heated conversation, the chef served the horse mackerel sashimi and grilled scallops with a friendly expression. Sea urchin stuffing was neatly placed on the temple.
“It’s like salt and vinegar mackerel shimeba, but a little sweeter. And the scallop scallops will taste even better when eaten with the crispy seaweed in front of them.”
“yes.”
“thank you.”
In front of delicious food, we first found our cool.
Hangyul gave a bright expression despite being forced to.
“But honestly, I’m glad you did well. I get expensive food like this.”
“Eat a lot.”
“Then we just need to film <Baristas Don’t Know Coffee>.”
“Now that the main character has been decided, we will spur it on. It was still late because it was aired on Chuseok.”
“Interesting. How did Soyoung become the main character of your drama? Every time I went there for coffee, I thought it was unusual, but that’s because Seon-ah isn’t that easy… I didn’t know it was that special.”
“In your eyes, Seon-ah wouldn’t have been more ordinary.”
“right. Seon-ah is still very unusual.”
“. Honest shit.”
“Actually, I’m even more sad that way. If your company goes bankrupt and you are fired, how do you go about Blancnois? I should be able to go, but what would it be like to wander around in front of an old company on the subject of white people?”
“Nothing has been decided yet. What do you keep crashing? I don’t mean to say things like that.”
After chewing the food tightly without saying anything for a while, Han Kyul opened her mouth again.
“Is “Right Arm Co., Ltd.” also being produced by Forest? Joo-yeon is Gam Woo-hyuk or Min Yu-ri?”
“yes. That’s how it happened.”
“I remember you telling me that when I was in college… You go hunting for red-eyed rabbits, right?”
“I remember well. right.”
“Should I just get a job as your personal assistant? I think that would be better.”
“I’ll think about it when I need a secretary. But the person who is the president’s daughter…”
“Chief Hong Da-bin.”
“yes?”
“The president’s daughter’s name is Hong Da-bin.”
“I see. Dabin Hong. It’s a pretty name.”
Druck.
The customer next to me came closer to me.
I wondered why they were sticking together like this, but I stayed still because I was afraid that it would be embarrassing if we turned our faces for nothing and even met each other’s eyes.
“But why?”
Han Kyul looked at me and asked.
“Listen to me. friend. don’t listen Understand?”
“yes.
“No matter how much the president’s daughter wants to make a department, it doesn’t seem like she makes it all at once. When I think about it, I was definitely recognized by the president. Well, like getting an MBA course with excellent grades or taking a proper management class. Anyway, there is a high possibility that Dabin Hong has abilities that people at your company do not know about. Your president of Ping Pong is a self-made man, so why not just leave the business to his daughter?”
“I also respect the president. But didn’t I tell you before? Hong Da-bin is an idiot that even the president can’t stop.”
“no. There may be things that people inside your company don’t know about because it’s dark under the lamp, so I leave it because I have the ability.”
“How are you sure?”
“It’s fine.”
“Because you are good at writing these days, you must have developed a sense of business.”
“It could be.”
The soft, pleasant scent of a woman’s perfume gives off a strange stinging sensation every time it passes by.
Hangyul looked at me like that.
“Yeah, I wish you were right. I just hope the rumors are wrong.”
“It’s strange that I keep thinking like that. General Manager Hong Da-bin is not bad. No, it’s more about his ability.”
“Heh. you won comforted me I feel better now.”
We looked at each other and laughed.
Even in the midst of that, the cook continued to serve food.
This time, wild-caught bluefin tuna belly sushi.
“It melts in your mouth.”
“It’s too bad I can’t swallow it. I should keep it in my mouth for a minute.”
Rinse your mouth with green tea for your next meal.
Little by little, a female customer sitting next to me asked me for a favor.
“Excuse me, could you pass me a soy sauce container? Mine is empty.”
“Ah yes.”
He wiped the soy sauce from the soy sauce container once with a tissue and handed it to him, and his white, thin fingers handed it over and spoke softly.
“You have manners. thanks.”
“Ah yes. What.”
He turned around and greeted her slightly, making eye contact with her.
Wow!
The admiration that bursts out without me knowing.
An intelligent face with innocence,
A woman with a neat short cut and long straight hair was smiling at me.
