Translator: Dreamscribe

On the twentieth, in entrance of Kang Woojin’s studio house.

Late within the morning, in barely heat climate, Kang Woojin, carrying a gray sweatshirt, got here out of his house constructing. In entrance of him, a well-known black van was parked.

On the similar time.

“Woojin!”

Choi Sung-gun, having noticed Kang Woojin, received out of the van and laughed heartily.

“Good morning, get in!”

He opened the passenger door with a joyful expression. Kang Woojin additionally went alongside along with his temper. In fact, solely inwardly. He was reminded of the English he had realized just a few days in the past.

‘Sure, it’s a fantastic morning.’

Woojin greeted Choi Sung-gun with a voice colder than his emotions.

“Howdy, CEO.”

After Woojin received in, Choi Sung-gun took the motive force’s seat and the automobile began transferring. Choi Sung-gun glanced at Woojin within the passenger seat as he drove out of the alleyway.

‘Why does he appear cooler at the moment? Did one thing dangerous occur yesterday?’

No, that was not the case. At that second, the expressionless Kang Woojin was misplaced in trivial ideas.

‘I’m hungry. Ought to I eat breakfast? All of a sudden I crave chilly noodles. And pork cutlet.’

Choi Sung-gun, who couldn’t presumably know this, set free a small sigh. The character Hong Hye-yeon, whom he had been managing for a very long time, was removed from atypical, however Kang Woojin was a number of ranges greater. This was the loopy one that refused director Woo Hyun-goo.

‘Why do solely loopy folks collect round me?’

However then once more, these crazies had excellent skills. Accepting his life because it was, Choi Sung-gun initiated the dialog with a smile.

“Woojin, did you get the decision concerning the first filming of ‘Profiler Hanryang’? They stated it’s on the twenty fifth.”

“Sure, I acquired it.”

“I’m arranging issues accordingly, and though it’s not confirmed in response to PD Music, it looks as if they are going to shoot Ryu Jung-min and Park Dae-ri’s scene first.”

At this level, Woojin’s coronary heart began to flutter.

After the warm-up of ‘Exorcism’, it was now the actual deal. The filming received’t be quick like ‘Exorcism’. In different phrases, he would wish to keep up a gradual efficiency all through the filming. It was nerve-wracking. Regardless, Choi Sung-gun nonchalantly continued.

“You don’t seem to be the sort to get nervous, Woojin. Simply put together completely for the taking pictures over the subsequent 5 days. Do you want something?”

“Not but.”

“Okay. And at the moment, we’ll begin by taking profile photos.”

Ah, profile photos. Putting poses for them? Kang Woojin had seen it someplace. A little bit of disgrace washed over him. No, it was nearer to embarrassment.

‘I’ve by no means finished that earlier than. How do you try this?’

He was all the time awkward when taking ID photographs.

However it should be much like performing, proper? You are able to do something for those who attempt. Woojin managed to cover his feeble disgrace and spoke softly to Choi Sung-gun who simply turned the steering wheel to the appropriate.

“CEO, you may communicate casually1 to me.”

I’m uncomfortable with well mannered speech. As if he had heard Woojin’s internal ideas, Choi Sung-gun nodded and spoke.

“Is that so? So, Woojin, shall I communicate casually?”

In a tone combined with honorifics and casual speech, Choi Sung-gun defined the schedule for the day.

First, they needed to create Kang Woojin’s official profile. Since he had joined an company, they wanted it for exterior or web site use. They needed to take profile photos first, and go to the salon to get groomed.

Right here, the salon was unique to celebrities.

For a second, Kang Woojin felt a slight sense of anticipation.

‘Lastly, I’m going to a star salon to get correctly groomed.’

Bizarre citizen Kang Woojin knew just one phrase when going to the hair salon.

Please trim them.

This could be the case for any man, however particularly for Woojin, who maintained quick hair, the hair salon was a clumsy place. However now it was a salon the place actors went.

At this second.

“Woojin.”

At a crimson mild, Choi Sung-gun all of a sudden spoke solemnly.

“I’ve expressed our rejection for the audition to Field Film. Chief Choi Do-min went berserk, however anyway, I’ve rejected it.”

Ah, that? He had forgotten about it. Actually, Woojin had forgotten concerning the grasp or no matter. Studying English had been too huge a deal.

“Is that so? Thanks.”

Choi Sung-gun, scratching his head, smiled barely.

“To be sincere, I nonetheless don’t perceive it myself. I hate troublesome issues, however this matter is… huh- Anyway, you didn’t speak about your instinct or no matter to Chief Choi Do-min, proper?”

“Sure.”

“If he hears that, he’ll get even angrier. Anyway, Field Film received’t look kindly upon you now. They received snubbed providing a task to a no one.”

It’s a narrow-minded trade. One can refuse all they need. However leisure trade is sort of a jungle; what are you able to do about it? Woojin reacted extra calmly than anticipated.

“However it’s higher then rejecting after auditioning.”

“Proper, not beginning in any respect would have fewer penalties. However will probably be arduous so that you can get into Director Woo Hyun-goo’s work any longer. that, proper? That man’s received a nasty temperament, and his satisfaction is excessive, too.”

What can we do? Simply because he’s thought of a grasp, I can’t do an F-rated film, can I? It’s a disgrace he’s thought of a grasp, but when it flops, it’s only a waste of time.

‘Anyway, I want so as to add slightly bluff right here.’

Kang Woojin replied with a stern expression.

“I don’t care.”Ñ00v€l–ß1n hosted the premiere launch of this chapter.

Contained in the automobile, PD Music Man-Woo was reminded of Kang Woojin. Just a few days in the past, he had intermediated a matter associated to a gathering with Field Film movie firm. However he hadn’t heard the end result. He was actually curious. Would Kang Woojin actually be a part of Director Woo Hyun-goo’s work?

Quickly, PD Music man-woo took out his cell phone. Nevertheless, the particular person he known as was not Kang Woojin, however CEO Choi Sung-gun.

“Uh- CEO Choi .”

PD Music Man-Woo opened his mouth immediately as Choi Sung-gun picked up rapidly.

“Are you busy? Is it okay to speak?”

Over the telephone, Choi Sung-gun gladly replied.

“In fact. I’ve to reply our PD Music’s name even when I’m sleeping, hahaha. What’s up?”

On the similar time, a girl’s voice was heard.

“PD, hello-”

On the acquainted tone, PD Music man-woo chuckled.

“Ah, is Star Hong with you too?”

“Sure. I’m sorry, Hye-yeon can also be right here. I met her whereas ready for Woojin on the store. Oh, did you name me as a result of Woojin didn’t reply the telephone? He’s on the third flooring of the store proper now.”

“No, no, that’s not it.”

As quickly as Kang Woojin’s title got here up, PD Music man-woo received to the purpose.

“I used to be simply interested in how Woojin’s Field Film assembly went. And whether or not he met Director Woo Hyun-goo?”

“Ah, he refused that.”

“What? Refused what?”

“Director Woo Hyun-goo’s subsequent work. Although it was not an audition, Chief Choi Do-min was desirous to push for it, however our Woojin decisively rejected it.”

“···Actually? What was the rationale?”

To the query, Choi Sung-gun answered with a indifferent tone.

“He stated one thing like his instinct. He rapidly scanned just a few pages of the state of affairs and easily stated the sensation was not good.”

“What?”

It was a really acquainted phrase. The sensation just isn’t good? PD Music man-woo unconsciously stroked his beard.

‘··· Kang Woojin, once more his feeling? Did the totem activate?’

In fact, nothing is for sure but. For the reason that outcomes for ‘Exorcism’ and ‘Profiler Hanryang’ haven’t but come out. However for some motive, PD Music man-woo took Kang Woojin’s ‘feeling’ very critically. The attention for works. Was it Kang Woojin’s actual intuition coming into play once more?

‘Did Director Woo Hyun-goo’s state of affairs actually suck that dangerous?’

In any other case, the scenario was unusual.

It was none aside from Director Woo Hyun-goo. Even when the work was a bit subpar, the truth that an unknown joined his crew can be a major situation. His rising recognition and incoming interview requests would absolutely enhance.

‘However he refused with out even wanting again? An act that would solely be finished by somebody insane. Ah, in fact, Woojin does have a loopy aspect to him.’

Then, PD Music man-woo muttered in direction of his telephone as if he was about to hold up.

“Nicely- what can we do, if the actor says he received’t do it.”

“Sure, I do know. Anyway, thanks on your concern, PD.”

With the decision ended, PD Music man-woo seemed out the window. On the similar time, he felt an odd sense of anticipation.

“It’s enjoyable to observe, that man.”

It was then.

-♬♪

The telephone in PD Music man-woo’s hand urgently rang. Due to this, Music Man-woo, who had been questioning if it was CEO Choi Sung-gun, tilted his head. It was an unsaved quantity. Nevertheless, since he has been receiving such calls ceaselessly recently, Music Man-woo answered the decision nonchalantly.

“Sure, that is Music Man-woo.”

A male voice answered from the opposite aspect of the telephone. The tone was mild.

“PD Music, it’s been some time. It’s Director Kwon Ki-taek.”

Quickly, PD Music Man-woo’s eyes widened, and he put emphasis in his voice,

“Huh? Ah, sure! Sure, Director! It’s been a very long time.”

“Haha, have you ever been nicely? Let’s see – we greeted one another on the Baeksang Awards two years in the past.”

“I do know, I do know. How may I neglect that?”

“I had one thing I used to be interested in, so I received your quantity. Sorry for calling all of a sudden.”

“Sure?? No, it’s tremendous!”

PD Music Man-woo was flustered. The explanation was easy. Director Kwon Ki-taek was an enormous shot much like Director Woo Hyun-goo. If one have been to call the highest administrators within the nation, he would all the time be included. If rankings needed to be set, Kwon Ki-taek can be even above Woo Hyun-goo.

By way of complete viewers or achievements.

That Kwon Ki-taek requested Music Man-woo PD,

“You’re getting ready for a drama, proper? I’m wanting ahead to it. Have you ever set the date for the primary taking pictures?”

“Oh, thanks. The primary taking pictures is confirmed for subsequent week. However why do you ask?”

“Hmm- I heard a rumor that the actors in your drama are working extremely arduous to enhance their performing high quality, so I used to be questioning if I may sneak in and watch the taking pictures on the primary day.”

“You need to observe?”

Upon the query, Director Kwon Ki-taek instantly answered from the opposite finish of the telephone.

“Sure, I need to see Ryu Jung-min’s efficiency, so I’m asking for a favor.”

TL Notes:

1) The half the place Woojin requested CEO Choi to talk casually doesn’t make a lot sense in English since we use honorifics in Korean.
