Chapter 86

On TV, with a light BGM, Jinseok was coming out of the library rubbing his sleepy eyes.

"That's the actor I asked for an audition."

There was no word from Jinseok's agency that he would audition yet. Still, I knew what kind of person it was in advance, so I watched it carefully.

[Hello. Two pork cutlet sets and cheese ramen, please]

[Student]. How come you don't gain weight when you eat like that every time? Auntie, tell me.]

[Why do you say that?]

[Oh my...]... Look at him talking. [I'll put eggs in ramen as a service]

[Thank you!]

It was quite natural to treat the restaurant staff.

"Well.... It's a little different from the image I've seen before.'

Until now, I thought Jinseok would have a cynical personality. This is because, in the man's experience, the actor's actual personality was often partially reflected in the character played by the actor.

However, Jinseok on the TV seemed to be quite bright and nice. Of course, the agency may have agreed with the PD to shoot it that way.

But the man decided not to look at it with such a crooked gaze.

Jinseok, who ordered three portions for breakfast, sat at the table. Jinseok starts eating with a still-tired face.

At the same time, Jinseok greeted the students passing by and ate together. It was quite fitting to laugh well and talk naturally with his peers.

After a long broadcast, there was a caption saying, "Thank you to the faculty and students of Seoguk University for cooperating with the filming."

"Was it Seoguk University?"

The man smiled softly.

"If Hyemin goes back to school one day... I hope you'll be her friend.'

To the extent that I thought of this, ‘College student Kang Jinseok' appeared to be a likable person.

(Singing "Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo.").

Then, a text message came to the man's cell phone.

——

Hello, director Yeo Jaeyoon.

I'm Jung Hyeongseok, head of KL Entertainment 4. First of all, thank you for bowing down to the audition proposal for <Absolute Unlicensed Counseling> you sent me the other day.

In our actor's room 4...

***

The advertising agency INSEA was noisy due to the untimely issue of ‘standby issuance'.

"I heard you're on standby for Assistant Manager Park Kyunghoon"

"The manager was determined, but it's still sudden."

"My manager wouldn't have hit the disciplinary action for no reason....”

"But the atmosphere in the office is really good without Park Kyunghoon."

"I accept that."

As can be seen from the conversation of the employees, the employee who received the waiting order was Park Kyunghoon. However, Park Kyunghoon was not a good person to accept such disciplinary action.

Bang!

"Mr. Manager!"

Park Kyunghoon stormed into the manager's office. The manager frowned as if he didn't like it and looked at Park Kyunghoon.

"Why, dude."

"Why not! I'm the next person to be promoted to the section chief, but what do you mean by waiting?!"

“....”

"Is it because of Kang Jinseok's guarantee negotiations?" I'll meet the manager again and persuade him!"

He seems to be unfair and confident at the same time. Park Kyunghoon shouted to the manager.

However, the manager said that he didn't want to talk to Park Kyunghoon and didn't even look at him.

"Get out, man. I asked him why he came because he's been working well so far, but he came in without knocking and even shouted. "Where did you learn how to make such burlesque?"

It was a soft voice. But there was definitely a ‘warning' in the voice.

Best New Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Performance.

It was a great honor to be nominated for these three categories.

Of course, the award was not confirmed, but just being nominated made me want to clench my fist and cheer.

But I couldn't be so frankly pleased.

Because Jang Sunho, who was looking at me, didn't seem very happy.

You looked particularly upset today.

I asked Jang Sunho while looking at him.

"I... Manager?"

"Yes."

"Is there anything wrong? You look stiff all day long."

"Nothing at all."

...It looks really good.

When I looked at Jang Sunho with such a gaze, Jang Sunho sighed and said.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. . . . Actually, I think the actor forgave Mr. Park Kyunghoon too easily."

"What? If it's Mr. Park Kyunghoon...".”

"I was originally going to scold him very properly. To the point of leaving the industry altogether."

"Oh, you're talking about the person who was going to cut my modeling fee, right?"

"Yeah. That toad-like ad AE. And as I've said over and over again, what Park Kyunghoon did was not to "cut" the advertising fee, but to "steal it."

"Are you being so serious because it bothers you?"

Jang Sunho spoke firmly without changing his expression.

"No, it's not."

Well, that's for sure.

I said with a slight smile.

"Still, you promised to receive a car as a gift on the guarantee promised by branch manager Park Jinsoo. And at INSEA, we decided to push advertisements to our celebrities as much as possible."

"That's a given. I took this opportunity to completely grab the leash of "INSEA"....”

Jang Sunho said as if he was frustrated and swallowed his words.

"I'm sorry. I got too excited."

"It's all right. Anyway, Assistant Manager Park Kyunghoon will also reflect on himself a lot because the Director ‘INSEA' will be on standby. And now that I've got all the money, I'm very satisfied."

If there was a big damage, I would have been angry, but it was resolved well. I didn't want to be angry about what had already happened.

Jang Sunho stared at me. There still seemed to be a lot to say. Before he said something like that, I said it first.

"I'm really fine, so let's move on. If you keep making such a face, you'll get wrinkles."

When I said half-jokingly, Jang Sunho laughed in vain. I think that's why my anger has eased a little, so I said it in a much softer voice than before.

"As far as I know, whether it's an actor or an idol, it changes once it becomes famous and it starts to pop up. But."

“....”

"The actor doesn't seem to change. Nothing has changed from the first time I saw you. Will you change a bit if you go to Hollywood?"

To Jang Sunho's playful voice, I also answered playfully.

"Wouldn't Hollywood be hard?"

"Have you already been recognized for your acting skills through Netflix?" Anyway, let's talk about that later."

Jang Sunho continued with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Are you satisfied with just being nominated?"

"Haha. That's true, but honestly, I'm greedy about this. I know that no actor has won the Rookie Award, Best Supporting Actor Award, and Best Actor Award at once. "In reality, it would be impossible to win three awards, but I really want the Rookie Award and the Best Supporting Actor Award."

Jang Sunho, who heard me, gave his thoughts. Jang Sunho's unique pondering eyes shine exceptionally.

"I'm also ‘purely' greedy to write the history of an award ceremony at a broadcasting station."

"I knew it, right?"

Jang Sunho finished his speech by raising one end of his mouth.

"So I'll have to use my hands. so that the actor can write a new history."
