chapter 77
A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 77
Hwang Jeong-hoo, a rookie, was serving coffee for shooter Joo Yoo-jeong in the tea room of the magazine ‘Fact N’.
Because he saw her lying face down on the desk when he went to work.
He must have spent the night in the office.
“Good morning, reporter Hwang.”
Senior reporter Jung came in and greeted me.
“Ah, good morning, senior.”
“Two drinks. One drink is for the main reporter?”
“yes. You seem very tired, so I’m going to bring you a drink.”
“The main reporter has a lot of hallways.”
“Can I bring you a drink too?”
“no no. I drink green tea in the morning. I’ll do it.”
Reporter Jung poured hot water into a tumbler and dipped a triangular tea bag into it. And I made tea by lifting it up and down a few times.
“Who does reporter Hwang expect for the PBS Drama Awards tomorrow?”
“Well, maybe it’s Yoon Doo-gyun? You killed one of your acting skills.”
“It’s not like that. But because the ratings are average…”
Reporter Jeong shakes his head.
“Who do you think you are?”
“Maybe it’s Gam Woo-hyuk from Opal. You can never ignore the ratings.”
“Then the possibility of Lee Dong-min is greater, isn’t it? In terms of ratings and acting, both are not lacking.”
“Hey, our reporter Hwang doesn’t know what.”
“yes?”
“Lee Dong-min has been out since episode 7, so his length is still small. And if it’s too little, we usually leave it out.”
“Ah yes.”
In the meantime, all the coffee was drawn out.
“Senior, I will go first. The chief reporter is waiting for you.”
“Yeah, go.”
Hwang Jung-hoo took two cups of coffee and went to Joo Yu-jeong’s seat.
But she was looking at her laptop with a scruffy face as to when she woke up.
“Seniors. Coffee here.”
“uh? I still craved it.”
Joo Yoo-jung is handed a coffee with a bright expression.
He closed his eyes and took a sip.
“Ah, that’s good. I am awake.”
Hwang Jung-hoo took his gaze to Ju Yu-jeong’s monitor.
“Are you still writing? You’ve got a lot of evidence.”
“Waiting for the finishing touch.”
Joo Yoo-jeong stretched her arms out to the sky and stretched them out.
“yes. Then, senior Fight.”
“okay. you also. And thanks for the coffee.”
After Hwang Jeong-hoo said hello and returned to her seat, Joo Yoo-jeong continued her work.
widely.
As soon as one of the keyboards was pressed, the evidence that had been persistently gathered over the years came pouring out.
Starting with the video taken during the production presentation, from the interview to photos and videos showing Yoo Jung-an as if she was controlling Jin Hong-seop.
This alone is enough to bring about a huge issue, but
‘Now is the time to come…’
Joo Yoo-jung was waiting for a decisive blow.
Wee-ing- Weeing-
Occasionally the phone rings.
[Oh Hae-soo]
Ohh!
The long-awaited one has finally arrived!
A text message from Yoo Jung-an’s best friend, actor Oh Hae-soo.
[Reporter. This is a screenshot of the conversation between Yoo Jung-an and Jin Hong-seop that we promised last time. If this is enough, I believe I will let you go.]
Anyway, allies and enemies alike are human beings who eat betrayal.
But thanks to all of you, I can eat and live.
[Do not worry. Oh Hae-soo only had one drink at Hoppa. Drunk and slapped the waiter in the face. I just can’t make such a mistake as an article.]
[believe. Reporter.]
[Believe me. And thanks for the report.]
After finishing the text message with Oh Hae-soo, Joo Yoo-jung clicked the capture she sent.
It was clear evidence that Yoo Jung-an was gaslighting Jin Hong-seop.
Yoo Jung-an: Jinrobot. Keep your mind straight. Whether shooting or not, the iron wall mode is activated unconditionally.
Hongseop Jin: That’s right. are doing it for sure.
Yoo Jung-an: What to do with the foxes?
Hongseop Jin: Firmly. To the female staff and to other actresses.
Yoo Jung-an: hahaha, you’re doing well. Even during filming, emotions are as strong as an iron wall.
Hongseop Jin: Yes.
Yoo Jung-an: Don’t forget that I always have the remote control. It works right away when you turn it on.
Hongseop Jin: Is there any possibility? I am Yoo Jeong-an’s robot.
Yoo Jung-an: Oh, you’re nice. Then I’ll give you a prize tonight.
It’s worth waiting for a shot.
If this is it, it’s a bummer!
Yoo-jung Joo suppressed her excitement and immediately called the editor-in-chief.
“Chief, this is Ju Yu-jeong.”
-Uh, the main reporter. From what I’ve called since morning, it looks like it’s a countdown now.
“yes. Just press a button.”
– Impact?
“100%”
-great. Write an article, hand it over to the desk, and put a scoop on it. Unpack as a New Year’s gift
A New Year’s special article of ‘Fact N’ has been prepared.
Every year, other media outlets gave me a scoop, so it was like a portrait book…
In the coming new year, thanks to Yoo Jung-an (?), I was able to laugh.

With the radio on, I was writing <My Client is a Girl Group>.
In the meantime, my points have grown steadily to 8280 points.
It was the result of adding 2380 points according to the 8th episode’s rating of 23.8%, 2430 points according to the 9th episode’s rating of 24.3%, and 2520 points according to the 10th episode’s 25.2% rating to the 950 points remaining after being promoted to silver.
There is a long way to go to 600,000 points, but I also have a weapon, so I thought I’d try hard.

“Do you get permission to go to the party?”
“Then why didn’t you go without permission? Those terms are included in the terms of the personal bodyguard contract.”

Kick-
pop.
While I was writing so hard, my fingers stopped tapping at the words of a radio DJ.
– Shall we listen to one requested song? There are so many requests to play this song these days, so I think I play it every day. Still, you want to hear it, so you’re applying for it, so I’m open today too.
They are so handsome and such a wonderful boy group. Hey Day! Dawn!
After sending the scenario to Heyday Hyeonu, I’ve been really concerned about it for the past few days, but Hayday’s ‘Dawn’ on the radio.
couldn’t hear
To get some rest, I sat comfortably in a chair and prepared to listen to the song.
bang. bang. bang.
Accompaniment of intense beats.
Lead vocal Hyeonu’s beautiful voice is placed on top of it.
I smile today too
I always think of that place
it doesn’t go my way
The world doesn’t prepare presents for me
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
I scream
nobody cares
We’re not here, we’re not here
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
why i don’t have wings
someone teach me
it hurts so much Why am I not perfect?
The world has been tilted from the start
Nobody told me not to do it
Nobody told me not to go
Just do it cuz the world doesn’t care about me
I oughta go
yes come
I’d rather be good
Now it’s my turn
Don’t judge me, even if I don’t fit in with the world, I’m on my way
I am the hero of my world
broken. Forgotten. Live
Break it down, smear it up, push it all away
Break it down, smear it up, push it all away
so I was born again
for me the world back to me
Break it down, smear it up, push it all away
Break it down, smear it on, push it all away
so I was born again
for me the world back to me
When the song ended, only Hyeonu was left in my head.
How do you get them to our drama?
ah! Will I be invited?
***
On the day of the PBS Drama Awards.
No matter how much I looked through the closet, which was less than a span of depth, I couldn’t find any clothes to wear to the awards ceremony. There was a suit that was worn like a school uniform whenever something happened, but now that I look at it, it is old and shabby, so I can’t wear it.
Measuring here and there for a while,
“Still, it’s an awards ceremony, so we have to be a little bit fancy… Let’s go. You go to the department store and buy a pair of clothes.”
It was still lunch, so I had plenty of time.
Wearing the clothes I bought and waiting at the cafe, I thought it would be perfect if I went to the broadcasting station, so I immediately called a taxi and went to Daehyeon Department Store.
In front of the department store, people were rushing through the unopened Christmas trees.
‘It was good to get out. It smells like the end of the year.’
Excitedly, I entered the door on the first floor.
‘Ugh.’
But as soon as I went in, I was really surprised.
Because Ji So-young is smiling at me.
“Oh, Mr. Soyoung.”
If you look closely, you can see the life-size signboard of Ji So-young in front of the cosmetics store. There was also a commercial video running next to it.
– My skin is also sensitive, so I don’t wear color makeup on days when I’m not filming. However, it changed after meeting Misso Compact. It’s really comfortable on my skin and covers my blemishes. I don’t worry about my skin anymore.
I watched the advertisement video three times in a row without realizing it. Until a store clerk came out and asked, ‘Do you need anything?’
“Oh, no. As a fan of Ji So-young, I watched a bit. The advertisement came out well.”
“yes. Anyway, I changed the model to Ji So-young and the sales doubled. It is the most popular among women in their 20s these days.”
“Oh yeah? Aren’t you male?”
“As far as I know, women like it more than men. It’s a women’s wannabe.”
“Aha.”
After all, male fans are basically going to eat, so it is good if there are many female fans. Ji So-young, who has just debuted but is standing in the ranks of top stars, was proud.
I feel good too, but I need to sell Soyoung-san’s cosmetics.
“Now that I think about it, I need a basic cosmetic that my mother will use. Could you give me a set?”
“yes. Is your mother in her 60s?”
“you’re right.”
“Would you like to come into the store? I will choose a product that your mother will like.”
“yes. Can you deliver the parcel right here?”
“Of course. sir.”
Thanks to Ji So-young, I sent my mother a gift of cosmetics. When I thought of a face that you would like, my heart was happy.
“How many floors are men’s suits?”
“It is on the 5th floor.”
“thank you.”
Now it was my turn to do my real job. I took the elevator up to the 5th floor at a time to avoid going back to another store.
The atmosphere there was quite different.
Unlike the first floor, where various products are displayed, it is generally calm and secluded. It was a bit burdensome to see the employees bending their backs to greet me as I walked around the aisle.
Coincidentally, I saw a store with Kam Woo-hyeok as a model, and I went in.
“welcome. sir. Is there a style you want?”
A female employee approached and asked in a friendly tone.
“I’m going to an awards ceremony tonight. Please recommend clothes that will go well with it.”
“Oh, the awards ceremony?”
The female employee’s eyes widened.
“yes. PBS Drama Awards.”
“Oh, is it? Our store model, Mr. Kam Woo-hyeok, will also attend today.”
“Yes, that’s right. Woohyuk, Yuri, Soyoung, and Dongmin are all here.”
“Wow.”
A female employee who closes her mouth.
“Why?”
“You call hot actors by their names as if they were friends. Are you also learning?”
Am I that good looking?
“no. I am a writer.”
“Ugh!!”
“No, why?”
“Writer Yoon Jae-ho??”
“yes that’s right.”
“Wow, I’m such a fan. Writer Yoon coming to our store… What did I dream of yesterday?”
I don’t know.
“It is an honor for you to visit our store. I’ll treat you with all my heart today.”
Perhaps forgot to say hello the first time, the female employee bowed her head politely once again.
Then I took a tape measure and started measuring all over my body. Also, when I put a piece of colored paper on my face, I pondered for a long time whether my skin was white or black.
I confidently picked out a few outfits.
“I think chino pants would go well with a navy jacket rather than wearing it as a single piece. If you match the inner with a black turtle, it is stable. Would you like to try on like this?”
“Yes, it is.”
Her eyesight was outstanding.
With a neat casual feel, the sophisticated style was completed as if it was decorated or not.
“I like it. I will do it with these clothes.”
“I don’t think it’s possible to do repairs. Fit like a model.”
“I see. Just like custom. I will wear it like this. How much is it?”
“yes. Pants are 520,000 won, jacket is 780,000 won, and inner is 230,000 won, so the total is 1.53 million won.”
“here.”
handed out the card.
“How many months will you do it?”
“Please make a lump sum payment.”
“All right.”
As I was about to finish my bills, a female employee called me.
“Sir, wait a minute. I’ll give you a handkerchief and a pair of socks by purchasing a new product that can’t even be discounted. Would you like to choose between the two?”
“Oh, is that so?”
A female employee put two handkerchiefs and three socks on the shelf. But I had trouble choosing what that was, and I pondered for a while.
After the awkward silence got a little longer, the female employee opened her mouth.
“Woohyuk Kam will win the Daesang today, right? Everyone expected that.”
“Do you think so?”
“yes. What do you think the writer is like?”
I do not know.
At first, I thought it was Kam Woo-hyeok, but I changed it to Lee Dong-min after Jang Hyuk-soo said that the target only looked at acting.
He only appeared in 4 episodes, but his acting is no joke.
will do more in the future
“It would be nice if Woo-hyuk rides. He’s the main character in my drama… Well, I’ll make the handkerchief blue and black socks.”
“Yes, thank you for using our store today. Writer.”
I left the store with a friendly greeting from the female staff.
I went to a cafe and wrote a little, then went to a PBS station just in time.
