A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress

A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 48

Mom’s hand kimbap.

It was the place where Jo Geun-young told me to come.

“hello. This is Jaeho Yoon.”

“welcome. Author. I was waiting.”

As I entered, I was greeted warmly by Geun-Young Jo, who was cooking.

“Did you have dinner?”

“Ah yes. That’s…”

“If you haven’t eaten yet, I’ll roll up a line of kimbap. Please sit down for a moment.”

Come to think of it, the coffee and desserts I drank at Blancnois during the day were holding up. The word “gimbap” raised my appetite, so I chose to eat it rather than specifying it.

“thank you.”

I took a seat in the middle and waited for her to roll the gimbap.

“Do you like udon-bokki? Our udon-bokki is really good.”

“Is that so?”

“yes. Please.”

Lee Dong-min came to talk about actor Lee Dong-min, and suddenly the fortune to eat exploded. Kimbap and udon-bokki.

But why is the manager at the snack bar?

Are you a real manager?

I was skeptical and asked cautiously.

“Actor Lee Dong-min is the manager, right?”

“Absolutely. It’s already been 3 years. It’s from the beginning of individual activities.”

“yes.”

“My brother isn’t working these days, so I have time left… I have a lot of thoughts in my head…”

“Yes, eh”

“That’s why I’m helping my mom’s shop. It was the Chuseok holiday, so I went out to clean, and the writer called. That’s why I told you to come here.”

“Then, is the snack bar a day off today?”

“yes. It’s Chuseok.”

“Oh, I didn’t even know that, and I ordered it.”

Come to think of it, I was making new rice in the rice cooker and preparing new ingredients for gimbap. Manager Lee Dong-min, Jo Geun-young, was making food for me alone.

“no. no. I received my order because I wanted to serve you. I’m so happy that Dong-min asked oppa for a drama.”

Jo Geun-young shook her body and reassured me.

“Actually, I was very grateful to the writer when I called. Dongmin’s oppa cut off all the people and his agency didn’t go well, so there were fewer and fewer phone calls.”

“Ah, such a thing…”

After a while, hearty kimbap and udon-bokki were served on a table.

“Bon appetite.”

“yes. I will eat well.”

It was very complicated in my head how to get the story out of Lee Dong-min, but I ate it deliciously. When you fill your hunger, you think better.

As soon as the bowl emptied for some time, Geun-Young Jo sat down in front of me.

“Do you know, Dongmin oppa is a little sick right now?”

“That… I found out by chance. Do you have panic disorder?”

He put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth. I think I should get to the point now.

“Yeah, from one day on, my heart started beating, and they said I was going to die. It’s all weird and he feels like he’s not him. He said he was afraid of jumping like this…”

“yes.”

nodded.

Because it was easy to guess when I think of Lee Dong-min I saw last time.

“Do you know why? Why did you suddenly panic?”

“…”

Jo Geun-young turned her head to my question. I know why, but I can’t seem to tell.

Still, you need to know how to solve the problem.

I didn’t have time to play a reasoning game with Jo Geun-young, so I asked directly.

“Isn’t it because of Yoo Jung-an? We appeared together in the summer of the age of 21.”

“!!”

Her face hardened sharply as if she had been stabbed at a vital point.

“Small… Ga-nim… how do you know that?”

A manager who asks me rather than an answer.

“Because I saw with my own two eyes what kind of person Yoo Jung-an was.”

And I also heard something from director Oh Sang-sik.

Lee Dong-min lost concentration towards the latter half of the drama and could not work with other female actors.

As a result of watching the making video dozens of times to catch a clue,

The moment Lee Dong-min matched the acting with another actress, he caught his gaze going somewhere. Even after NG, the direction of the eyes went back and forth.

When I zoomed in to the end of the screen to see who that person was, there was Yoo Jung-an. Yoo Jung-an was controlling Lee Dong-min’s behavior.

“If the truth is known, Dong-min’s oppa will never come back again. I still blame myself for how much suffering I am suffering.”

Jo Geun-young, who meekly admitted the truth, had a hard time covering her face with her hands.

“I came to cast Lee Dong-min in my drama. So we need to know more about what happened. If you know anything, please tell me the truth.”

“…Ho, maybe. Aren’t you a journalist? Deliberately approaching me…”

Suspicious Cho Geun-young scored 100 points as a manager.

I took out the opal wine script and uploaded it to dispel her doubts. And pointed to the names of the performers written on the cover.

“Now look at the cover here.”

Cast: Kam Woo-hyuk, Min Yu-ri, Lee Dong-min

Screenplay: Yoon Jae-ho

“Ah, Dongmin is my older brother’s name…”

“Yoon Jae-ho is my name.”

Cho Geun-young stroked Lee Dong-min’s name with his finger.

Then, as if he had made up his mind, he took out his cell phone and played the video.

“Take a look at this. It is captured in a video I took in my spare time to post on the fan cafe.”

The content of the video was similar to my reasoning.

While filming a scene in which Lee Dong-min hugged another female actor, he turned his gaze to somewhere, and there was Yoo Jung-an shaking his head. Lee Dong-min leans back and hugs and rolls, and the director’s NG is immediately heard.

A female staff member delivers canned coffee to Lee Dong-min, but when Yoo Jung-an shakes her head, Lee Dong-min leaves without receiving the canned coffee.

While chatting happily with people, Yoo Jung-an blinks and Lee Dong-min goes into the van by himself.

“this. It’s really bad.”

“My brother was gaslighted by Yoo Jung-an.”

“Ha, I guess so. Gaslighting that takes control of people’s minds and turns them into puppets!”

This is the ability of ‘Jeong Juhak’, an opal wine. Because it controls people’s brains and makes them listen to everything they say.

In a word, it was turning people into zombies.

“yes. That bitch… No, that woman controlled her brother. Approaching and flirting with her brother while acting cute, and telling her to do what she tells her to do if she loves her.”

“this.”

“Even if Dongmin oppa is an idol, he is naive and kind. That woman, Yoo Jeong-an, saw through it.”

“You used pure love.”

“yes. Just from the beginning . . . . . . . . . . Remove the hair that is not attached to the face. I’ve seen it all from the side. There’s nothing on his face and he’s like, ‘Oh, wait, I got something here.’ And then you touch your face. Aww, that foxy bitch shivered all sorts of shit…”

Jo Geun-young spit wildly.

It was not surprising that I remembered Yoo Jung-an and Jin Hong-seop I saw in the writing room of the Geum sisters.

“Keep talking.”

“But later, my brother realized it too. that something has been wrong for a while. So I really regretted it and suffered a lot. People start to break down with self-blame… I just can’t handle it.”

He did not tolerate what he did.

Because I couldn’t focus on my acting and ruined the atmosphere on set.

“So did Yoo Jeong-an dump Lee Dong-min?”

“no. He made more and more unreasonable demands, and in the end, my brother kicked me out. I can’t ruin the drama anymore.”

That’s why director Oh Sang-shik didn’t notice.

at least you got out of here quickly

“Mr. Geun-young.”

“Yes, writer.”

“Let’s go to Lee Dong-min with me now.”

“Right now?”

“yes. Opalju needs actor Lee Dong-min. Actor Lee Dong-min also needs opal wine.”

If Lee Dong-min can overcome what happened with Yoo Jung-an and stand tall,

It seemed that the best ‘Jeongjuhak’ would be born.

“yes. let’s go Writer.”

Jo Geun-young jumped up and unfastened the apron she was wearing.

***

Ding dong- ding dong-

bang- bang- bang-

“brother. It’s me. open the door I have something to say.”

Jo Geun-young rang the bell and knocked on the door, but there was no sign of anyone in the house.

I stepped aside and thought about how to persuade Lee Dong-min.

‘It’s nothing to do with a careful approach. In this case, it is the correct method. One shot!’

Ding dong- ding dong-

“brother. I have something to tell you. Open the door.”

After a while,

quiver-

Through the helplessly open door, a drunken Lee Dong-min appeared.

“Geun-young, don’t come here anymore…”

His gaze rested on Jo Geun-young for a moment, then moved to me next to him.

did you recognize me

For a moment, his eyes suddenly shook and he tried to close the door in a hurry.

‘I thought I would.’

what was already expected.

swish.

At the right time, I put my right foot into the hallway. If it’s not now, I don’t think I’ll ever have another chance.

puck!

“Aw-”

With my foot caught in the front door, I sat down and pretended to be very sick.

To be honest, it didn’t hurt that much. It’s all technical.

“Oh my, are you okay?”

“Ahh.”

Geun-Young Cho was worried, and I continued to roll around pretending to be sick.

Lee Dong-min was startled for a moment, but he couldn’t help but stumble. Anyway, he hurt my foot.

aim for that gap.

“Ah, ah~”

I groaned and crept into the hallway.

“Writer, are you really okay?”

Jo Geun-young comes in after me and continues to worry.

So we safely entered Lee Dong-min’s house.

“Very good. I was just surprised for a moment.”

I jumped up at once.

And without delay, I called Lee Dong-min.

“Actress Lee Dong-min.”

‘To understand your heart, to say that Yoo Jung-an is a bad person, let’s overcome it.’ I didn’t want to spread the words out. I am neither a psychiatrist nor a counselor.

There are only writers and actors here now.

“Actress Lee Dong-min. I am the writer Jaeho Yoon. I have no intention of harassing you or bothering you, so I’ll just tell you the gist of it. Here’s the script…”

Lee Dong-min accepts the script somehow.

“In my work ＜Right Arm Co., Ltd.＞, there is only actor Lee Dong-min who will play ‘Jeong Ju-hak’. So I’m here to ask. Please take care of it.”

I skipped everything and just said what I had to say. just by stone.

“…”

Lee Dong-min just stared at me quietly.

“Brother Dongmin…”

When Cho Geun-young, who had been looking at him with pity, called his name like a spell, Lee Dong-min’s eyes awoke.

“Hey… As you can see, my condition is not a situation to postpone.”

Oh, that’s good. spoke

After all, you react to your work.

Lee Dong-min was in the mode of resignation, but the mere fact that he opened his mouth made me feel like a thousand forces.

“When will you be acting as an actor? In my opinion, actor Lee Dong-min is in a perfect situation to take on the role of ‘Jung Joo-hak’.”

“yes?”

“If you read the script, you will know. ‘Jung Joo-hak’ is not an easy character.”

I looked at the script in Lee Dong-min’s hand, and his eyes followed. When he found his name written on the script, he let out a trembling breath.

“Read the script and decide.”

I’m about to say everything and go out.

“I… there.”

Lee Dong-min grabbed my arm with a thin hand like a piece of paper.

“I’m a guy who doesn’t deserve to act. How precious that is… I ruined it all.”

A drop of tear fell to the floor.

I took his hand off my arm and held it tightly with both of my hands.

“Everyone makes mistakes. Mistakes without reflection degenerate into bigger mistakes and afflict us, but if you realize through your mistakes, you become a deeper person. The actor who will be in charge of ‘Jung Ju-hak’ must be that kind of person. A person who has experienced deep despair. A person who overcomes that despair and rises again.”

Was the message too strong?

Lee Dong-min took a step back.

“Oh, Opalju is directed by Oh Sang-shik. Recognize and restore your honor with this drama. And there are some samurai, but…”

After thinking for a moment, he opened his mouth.

“I think ＜Right Arm Co., Ltd.＞ will compete with ＜Office Battle＞. The lead role there is Yoo Jung-ahn.”

I said that and came out.

The die has been cast and the choice is up to Lee Dong-min.
