Chapter 91
The 4th chief nodded to Oh Sihoon's confident words.
Oh Sihoon was not a favorite, but he still looked good with his skills and spirit.
"So, when is my audition? I heard director Yeo Jaeyoon said he was a little busy."
"As early as next week. He said he had something to check before auditioning for an actor."
"What is he going to check?"
When Oh Sihoon asked back, the 4th chief said as if it was nothing.
I'm sure his busy preparing for the shoot. Director Yeo Jaeyoon said that he would direct everything from this one to ten. They're probably trying to take care of everything before they start filming."
He said it without changing his expression, but the 4th chief was lying.
Director Yeo Jaeyoon said he would watch an actor first before watching Oh Sihoon. And it's probably…’
While the 4th chief was thinking, Oh Sihoon asked.
"What? Is the director paying for the production?"
"Huh? You didn't know?"
"Yes, I didn't know that director Yeo Jaeyoon was coming back. By the way, direct investment… I knew the director was rich, but I didn't know it would be that much."
"Anyway, I'll tell my manager when the detailed schedule comes out, so please be on hand. Don't go to a club or something and make an accident."
"Yeah~"
Oh Sihoon got up from his seat with a playful answer. Looking at Oh Sihoon, the 4th chief sighed slightly.
"Then I'll be preparing for an audition."
"Wait, let me tell you…”
Thump!
Oh Sihoon left the room before the 4th chief even answered.
Again, he's not a favorite.
"Still… I have a feeling that things are going to work out this time.'
I don't know if it's because I got a mercenary or for another reason.
I had a good feeling that I didn't know what it was, so the 4th chief started looking at the documents.

"Expensive cars are definitely different."
When stepping on the Excel, the power of the car running forward was unusual.
It makes your heart grand. I realized that expensive cars are not expensive for nothing.
"Even so…’
Having already driven the same road nearly 30 times, I was a little tired no matter how good the car was.
In the past, I wasn't very tired even if I drove all day, but I was exhausted probably because I was conscious of the Russian arm that I was driving outside.
From a distance, a sign reading "Stop" was seen. I slowed down and pulled over.
Director Yoon Deokhwan came up with a big smile.
"Hey, actor! That's enough! It really came out perfect! It must have been hard because I was so greedy, but thank you so much for doing well until the end."
"No, it's okay. I'm glad you got a satisfactory film. I can take it over and over again if you need it."
The amount of money I received for filming today is a whopping 500 million won. I even got a car as a gift, I wanted to take it properly even if I stayed up all night.
However, Yoon Deokhwan's expression when he heard me was a little strange. He looked like he was looking at something interesting.
"As expected, actor Kang Jinseok is a bit… It's different from other models."
What do you mean different? I looked at Yoon Deokhwan with questions in my eyes. Then Yoon Deokhwan shook his hand and said.
"Oh, it's different in a good sense. Usually, celebrities don't say that. When I ask them to film it again, most people look upset, or sometimes they get angry."
Yoon Deokhwan smiled easily.
"Anyway, you did a great job today. I'll edit it properly and make a piece of work."
"Haha. Thank you."
When I bowed my head, Yoon Deokhwan also greeted me.
After seeing Yoon Deokhwan disappearing from a distance among the staff, he turned around.
"Thank you for your hard work. It took longer than I thought."
Jang Sunho, who was behind me, said before I knew it.
"Kkah, you scared me. "When did you come?"
"It started when director Yoon Deokhwan said, ‘As expected, Kang Jinseok is different from other actors.'
“…If you're here, please give me a hint."
"I'm sorry. I don't want to interrupt the conversation."
Jang Sunho made a slight impression and stared at the staff.
"By the way, I left him alone this time because I had a meeting with Governor Park Jinsoo, but I will not allow such meaningless re-shooting like today in the future."
It sounded a little angry. I said with an awkward smile to soothe Jang Sunho.
"I'm fine. Come on, let's go to the car. It's time to get off work soon, so I have to leave quickly before there's traffic."
“…All right. And don't worry about the traffic. There's not much traffic going from Paju to Seoul."
Jang Sunho, who finished speaking, handed over the padded jacket he had in his hand. I can feel my cold skin warming up when I wear a padded jacket.
While following Jang Sunho to the van, Jang Sunho's thin clothes were caught in his eyes.
"Come to think of it, the manager doesn't wear a coat often. I can wear it, but I can only wear a thin coat."
It's warm for early January weather, but it's still near freezing temperatures. Jang Sunho's clothes were thin, and not suitable for such a temperature.
"Yes. Thick coats make your body dull. And it needs to be moderately cold to maintain tension. My job is to take care of the actor, so I can't relax."
"Oh….“
Jang Sunho spoke calmly, but it was a touching word to me. I can't believe you're enduring this cold like that for me.
"That's why I wear long jeans. I don't want it to be too cold.”
Oh, I see.
I was a little less moved.
As soon as I got to the parking lot, I saw the van. The van was full of warmth thanks to Jang Sunho turning on the heater in advance.
"Let's go."
With Jang Sunho's words, the van gently moved forward.
But I was strangely sleepy.
I was tired, but I wasn't so tired that I couldn't get myself together.
I felt sorry for Jang Sunho driving in front of me, so I tried to stay awake as much as possible.
But I just couldn't stand it.
"Sigh… Manager. I'm sorry, but let me put my eyes off for a second."
"Yes, I'll wake you up when we get there. Rest well."
When I heard Jang Sunho's strong voice, I felt more sleepy.
***
I fell asleep right away, but I was mentally fine. Because I was in a white space.
In that white space where I meet ghosts in my dreams.
"I was sleepy because of this."
I looked around to find the ghost who called me here.
"The role I'm going to play in the next movie is a con artist." Then is the ghost I'm going to meet this time a scammer?'
It was then. As usual, someone walks through the white mist.
As the distance got closer, I could see the ghost well.
a tall man with full back hair. Cool features and a comfortable smile just looking at him. His eyes, slightly closed, are smiling like half a moon.
an imposing gait and cool features. Even though I'd never seen him before, I felt a charm that I didn't know for some reason. Unbeknownst to me, I was feeling for this ‘ghost'.
The ghost spoke to me in a soft voice.
"Hello, actor Kang Jinseok. It's Kim Faith."
"Oh, yes. Hello, I'm Kang Jinseok."
"First of all, I'd like to briefly introduce myself. As you may know, I am a fraud."
Kim's trusty hands held together. I can feel the right grip to relax my mind.
"That doesn't mean he's a misdemeanor. Despite this, it is evaluated that it has raised morale to the level of art. Although it's a story that comes and goes among ghosts."
"Well, I see.“
Whether it was fun for me to answer awkwardly, Kim Mi-sung laughed.
Then, with a slight face toward me, he said resolutely.
"So you can trust my ‘skill'. I'm the best con artist you need right now."
***
"Well."
Jang Sunho leaned on the steering wheel when he was caught in a red light. Then, he looked at Jinseok, who was asleep in the rear mirror.
It's not the first time Jinseok fell asleep in a car. However, it was the first time he fell asleep to the point where he couldn't figure it out even if I carried him on my back.
"You must be very tired."
After the filming of "The Way They Chose", Jinseok appeared in "Yeonyan Diary". Then he attended the awards ceremony and even filmed an advertisement.
And a part-time job at dawn. It's literally a murderous schedule.
No matter how strong Jinseok is, his physical strength as an actor has not yet been strengthened.
Jang Sunho struggled inside.
"You have to audition for ‘Absolute Unlicensed Counseling' this weekend."
Jang Sunho, worried about Jinseok's condition, loosened his tie and buttons roughly.
There's no underwear under his loose shirt.
I'll call Director Yeo Jaeyoon right after I take you there. Auditions next week, no. I'll put it off until next weekend.'
(Singing "Boo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo!")!
Perhaps it reflected Jang Sunho's urgent mind, the van moved forward with a little rough engine sound.
"Well…”
Did he wake up to that sound? Jinseok, who was sleeping like a baby, slightly frowned and tried to open his eyes.
Jang Sunho quickly filled the button on his shirt and even tied the tie around his neck.
“…We're almost there?"
When Jinseok spoke in a slightly submerged voice, Jang Sunho nodded.
"Yes, but we still have another twenty minutes to go. Please keep sleeping."
"I'll stay awake. Maybe it's because I slept for a while, but I'm warmed up."
Jinseok's voice seems to be happy for some reason, but at the same time, it's a bright voice.
Jang Sunho glanced at Jinseok through the rear mirror.
“….“
Then, I met Jinseok's eyes through the rear-view mirror. Jinseok asked with a gentle smile.
"Manager, when did I audition for <Absolute Unlicensed Counseling>?"
"It's not confirmed yet. I will postpone it as much as possible so that you can recover your condition."
Jang Sunho spoke calmly as usual. "Thank you," anticipating Jinseok's answer.
However, Jinseok's words were not the answer Jang Sunho expected.
"Thank you for your care. But it's okay. I can audition tomorrow right away."
Jang Sunho tried to say, "I'm not okay" again this time.
"It's all right with me. So audition for <Absolute Unlicensed Counseling>, please fix it right away."
However, Jinseok's words were faster this time.
"I'm ready for the audition."
Jang Sunho smiled bitterly at Jinseok's confident voice.
"No matter how much you say it's okay, it's hard to carry out schedules in a row…"
Jang Sunho couldn't finish his speech because of Jinseok's facial expression reflected in the rear mirror. Now, Jinseok had the look of ‘actor Kang Jinseok'.
‘…I forgot.'
I forgot because Jinseok was so nice like a fool. Kang Jinseok is the most famous actor in Korea in just one year.
If he is confident, it will be his responsibility to trust and leave it to him.
"I see. Then I'll try to schedule it as soon as possible."
