Chapter 179 – Part 3. Harem

Finally, the role was given to Sungmin.
It was absurd, and Park Jung-ah was absurd at the director and writer’s conspiracy.
Now, when it comes to filming, for a first-timer among newbies who have played an extra role for two days, it even has dialogues, and a role where you can receive a single shot from the camera.

Park Jeong-ah is about to step out to say something because she thinks this is not the case, but Choi Ji-yeon grabs her arm.

“What are you complaining about? Aren’t the stereotypes of first impressions too harsh? Why do you hate it so much? That is also your own ability, and why are you stepping out to win a role with your own ability? You’ve never seen Sungmin act, have you? No… Did you want to see it?”

Choi Ji-yeon said something incomprehensible at the end, and Park Jung-ah looks at her curiously.
What kind of acting did Seong-min, who was just standing still as an extra, think Park Jung-ah would have seen his acting?
Choi Ji-yeon meant that she saw Seong-min having sex with a white cat on an internet broadcast, but Park Jung-ah did not know about it.

“Okay. Good. I don’t feel like I’ve overdone it a little. But I’m going to watch him act. I even took on a role that was not even as good as a rat tail in acting… Then you would know that it was all done by you and your company.”

“Okay. Okay. Okay. Anyway, thorns and prickly…”

‘Haa… I really want to see him wince and growl after being conquered by his master as soon as possible two years later.’

On the outside, she was Choi Ji-yeon smiling, but on the inside, she was gnashing her teeth without realizing it.

“Ah! Right. Aren’t you going home today too?”

“Huh. However?”

“Then, shall we have a glass of wine later tonight?”

“Wine? What… Is that so?”

Park Jung-ah, who is deafened by the word wine.
Choi Ji-yeon was already well aware that Park Jung-ah was a wine ghost, and seeing that she was fucking up in the morning, she seemed to be fighting Seong-min over everything in the future, so it would be better for her to quickly lay the plate on Seong-min. I thought it was

“Okay. I’ll prepare the wine, so let me know when you find a place to stay. Now let’s go change clothes.”

Choi Ji-yeon dragged Park Jung-ah by the arm and tried to go to her dressing room, and Park Jung-ah glanced back at Seong-min.
As if the role discussion had ended, the assistant director was standing next to Seong-min, and the assistant director was listening to the director’s explanation.
Soon, the assistant director smiled and took Seongmin to the costumer.
Why is everyone laughing like that? Park Jung-ah had a very strange atmosphere.

Park Jung-ah took a long time to change into her middle-aged mama outfit, and when she finished her make-up and returned to the set, she was in the middle of filming.
Park Jung-ah took her script and went to her assigned seat and read her script.
Now, in a little while, the filming of her king and servants would be over, and it was her turn to enter.

But something was strange.
There was a lot of buzz around the filming set, and when I looked closely, I wondered if the actors who were supposed to be filming in full swing were gathered around the director and the camera.

“What?”

Unable to overcome her curiosity, Park Jung-ah got up and approached.

“Cut~”

When Park Jung-ah arrived, her director’s sign to stop filming fell.
Then the director got up from his seat and approached the actors who were acting.

“Sungmin. Don’t be afraid… Raise your voice just a little bit, and try to look as cool as you can without being too servile. You’re the escort’s chief now, so you should look proud enough. Understand?”

Eh? What? Is that person who is explaining so kindly right now the director of the unordered command?
Park Jung-ah is in a state of absurdity when she sees the director for the first time.

But if you look closely, isn’t the actor receiving acting guidance none other than Sungmin, who took on the role earlier?
She was almost unrecognizable from her luxurious escort uniform, with a mustache under her nose, and a nervous, slightly intimidated appearance.

“Ha~ Then that’s right… A rookie with no acting experience took on the role… Tsk tsk…”

A sneer appeared on Park Jung-ah’s face, and her eyes looking at Seong-min were full of ignoring eyes.

But at that time, didn’t Yoo Dong-jin, dressed in a king’s robe, suddenly approach Seong-min?

“Uh? Yoo Dong-jin senior… That guy is behind him now.”

Park Jung-ah, who had looked at Seong-min with a disapproving look until just now, is surprised to see Yoo Dong-jin, a senior colleague, approaching Seong-min, and puts on a sad expression.

Yoo Dong-jin’s personality is so famous in this world that there is no one who doesn’t know about it.
If an actor acting together fails to act, he often gets angry and embarrassed on the spot, and there are countless actors who have been beaten so badly that they even cry, and there have even been actors who were slapped on the cheek.
However, looking at the fact that nothing much has been said in the media or such, it is said that Yoo Dong-jin’s power is so great, that he is sincere in his acting, and that he is good at acting.
Since Yoo Dong-jin was going to Seong-min, who was receiving acting instruction, Seong-min had to be regarded as dead.

However…

“Sungmin. Now close your eyes and take a deep breath. And…”

Yoo Dong-jin, a solemn figure dressed as a king, guides Seong-min in her acting with a caring voice.
And the director and the people around him are looking at him with delight.

“What… What is it?”

Park Jung-ah felt as if she had come to another world.
It was the first time I had seen Yoo Dong-jin like that.
It was dumbfounded to see that the person who always had a disapproving expression full of dissatisfaction with her solemn appearance and reigned like a god to the juniors around her now had a softer smile than anyone else and a soft voice.

“What am I looking at? This is our filming location, right?”

It was to the point where Park Jeong-ah questioned her female Cody, who was next to her.
Her female coordinator also couldn’t say if it was absurd, she just nodded her head.

“Come on~ Let’s take a short break and go. Seong-min is her first acting, so it seems she can’t adapt yet, but Seong-min-ah, she went to the bathroom once and she has a little bit. Let’s do it again.”

What? The director openly tells people that Seongmin is on his side?
Park Jung-ah was staring at Seong-min in amazement, but at the director’s words, everyone relaxed and exhaled, and everyone around them laughed at Seong-min or patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.

What kind of absurd situation is this really?
What is this…
Seeing her for the first time in a drama version, Park Jung-ah couldn’t understand this situation.

She replied that Seongmin knew, and her shoulders slightly drooped as she tried to leave the set.
Then, she met her eyes with Park Jung-ah, who was staring at her as if glaring at her.
When her eyes met, didn’t Park Jung-ah laugh as if it was absurd?
Seongmin’s smile seemed to be a mocking laugh, as if she was like that.

I know it’s an ugly qualification, but to be honest, Seongmin was in a very depressed situation right now.
No matter how much she claims to have the ability to be a superhuman level MILF king, since she doesn’t have the ability to act like a god of acting, it wasn’t easy to act skillfully in front of a lot of people, bright lights and cameras.
It was a simple role, with only a few lines of lines, and politely handing over a letter to the chief of the palace guard, but when I started acting, I couldn’t help but feel that my voice was shaking or my facial expressions and movements were awkward.

But to see Park Jung-ah, whom he had to conquer, with such a mocking expression…
Sungmin was so pathetic to himself.

Seong-min quickly looked away from Park Jung-ah and went to the bathroom.
He took off the cheollick he was wearing on his head, put it on the sink, and took off his hanbok-style pants to urinate.

Sungmin put his pants back on and washed his hands in the sink and looked in the mirror in front of him.
His face was powdered white because of his makeup, a short black beard stuck under his nose, and a topknot was twisted on his head, covering his forehead.
With his wide chin and wide shoulders, he is wearing a bodyguard officer’s uniform, so his appearance is unmistakably that of a military officer in the Joseon Dynasty, but he himself was acting like a simple military officer.

“Haa~ fuck. Did you hypnotize me like that? I thought I could do it roughly, but this is too difficult… Shall we hypnotize me into acting well?”

It was half-joking and half-serious, and Seongmin was annoyed at his pathetic appearance.

But does it make sense for him to be honest about hypnotizing himself?
People say there is hypnosis, such as shouting “I can do it” While looking in the mirror, but isn’t that hypnosis, but an act of strengthening one’s will?
Well, if this was a type of hypnosis, it could be hypnosis, but it was far from the kind of hypnosis Sungmin thought.

So Seongmin looked at himself in the mirror half-jokingly and snapped his fingers.

“Hypnosis!”

But couldn’t he be so hypnotized that his eyes would lose their focus?

“That’s right… Ehyo~ Hey~ Lee Seong-min. You can do well Isn’t acting great? Immerse yourself in the role. You are the escort manager from now on. Understand?”

If hypnosis doesn’t work, wouldn’t he have to rely on himself?
Seong-min, who doesn’t want to be sold on his board like this, looks at himself in the mirror and starts shouting “Fighting”.

“What… What is it?”

Seongmin, holding the sink with both hands and enduring his staggering body, quickly looked in the mirror.
However, there was nothing wrong with his reflection in the mirror.

“What?”

He takes his hands off the sink and gets up, but the tingling in his head is gone.
In the end, Seongmin suddenly tilted his head without knowing why he did it, took Cheollick and an imitation sword, and left the bathroom.

Filming resumed as soon as Seongmin returned.
Park Jeong-ah does not go to her seat this time, but stands nearby, watching Seong-min’s performance with cold eyes, like Yoo Dong-jin and other actors.

Sungmin’s acting began.
He opens the door and rushes into the room.
Calling out the commander of the escort, I bowed my head to take a bow, took out a scroll of documents from my bosom, and handed it to him.
The escort commander opens the document and reads it, then hardens his face as he gives orders to Seong-min.
Then, Seong-min says his short line, then goes out after bowing again.

“Cut!!!!! Well done Look~ Seongmin, you can do it too. Why were you so nervous earlier when you were acting so well? Haha…”

The director rushed over and patted Seong-min on the back and laughed out loud, and Yoo Dong-jin and others around him clapped and shouted that he did well.

And Park Jung-ah was honestly surprised.
A person who has been acting for a long time can quickly grasp the basic capabilities of an actor, no matter how short the acting is.
You can figure out the skill of the actor just by looking at the tone of voice, facial expressions, gestures, and vocalization during the performance.

In that respect, it is clear that Seong-min Park Jung-ah saw earlier was a complete beginner who did not even know the letter ‘ㅇ’ in acting.
Even though she is a minor role for such a beginner, it was an insult to professional actors like herself that she was given a role with lines.

But what happened between going to the bathroom and Seongmin’s acting was almost perfect.
It was a short performance of two or three lines, but in the eyes of everyone here, Seong-min was really a palace guard who could have lived in the Joseon Dynasty.
The acting was really perfect.

‘Is that person’s real skill? If that’s real… Getting all these people on his side… Maybe a monster rookie will be born.’

Park Jeong-ah exclaimed inside her, and she swallowed her saliva with her throat as if she was nervous involuntarily.
And Park Jung-ah was looking at Seong-min who was smiling awkwardly in front of the director with a strange gaze.
It was a completely different look, full of curiosity.

The shooting went by like that, and it became night before we knew it.
The filming, which went on without hesitation even with the determination to shoot at night, was able to finish earlier than expected, perhaps thanks to Seongmin, while the atmosphere on the set was so friendly.
Of course, even if it was early, it was well past 10pm when the last director’s cut sound came out…
It was a self-evident fact that it would be over 12 o’clock when we finished, walked the equipment, and returned to the lodging.

Park Jung-ah and Choi Ji-yeon also filmed until late, and they say that the schedule was finished a little early, but since they had to start filming early tomorrow morning, they had to stay at a nearby accommodation as planned and spend the night.
Actors, especially female actors, do not stay in the lodgings near the set where the staff stay.
It’s close to the filming set, but the accommodation is poor, and even though she’s a top-notch female actress, she couldn’t stay in a dorm crowded with men for privacy.
So, the manager had reserved a top-class room in a decent motel in a nearby downtown area, about 30 minutes away by car in the evening.
It was inevitable that there would be no hotel in such a rural downtown area.

A room on the top floor of a motel, still lacking a wide space for a motel, and besides a bed, there were a good assortment of tables and comfortable chairs.
As soon as she entered the room, Park Jung-ah took a shower and was sitting leisurely in her chair in her underwear and gown.
There were already snacks on the table, such as wine and cheese.
It was the finest wine that Choi Ji-yeon’s manager went to a department store in a nearby city and airlifted during the day.

Park Jeong-ah lifts the wine and checks her label, then smiles with satisfaction.
At that time, the doorbell rang, and Park Jung-ah went to open the door. The bottom was Dolphin pants, and the top was a long-sleeved boxy tee with a slightly stretched neck. Came in

No, what does a woman who turns 45 the day after tomorrow wear her clothes?
But what pissed Park Jung-ah even more was that the fashion really suited Ji-yeon Choi’s looks and body.
To be honest, she can’t wear fashion anymore because she can’t afford it anymore, but Choi Ji-yeon’s body is crazy enough to believe that she’s a greenish 20-year-old girl, her legs are well-groomed, her face looks like it had just been washed, but it’s shiny and plump. Was flowing

Seeing Choi Ji-yeon, Park Jung-ah was so moved that she wanted to shout, “Get out of here!”
She had no choice but to greet Choi Ji-yeon with a slight frown on her forehead and a smile.

“You don’t dress like that, do you?”

“When it’s cold, the body heats up very clearly.”

Park Jung-ah tries to say something bluntly, but Choi Ji-yeon smiles and jokes with her.

“I bought this wine, how is it, okay?”

Choi Ji-yeon comes to the table and picks up a bottle of wine.

“Huh. Are you okay. I bought something good.”

Jiyeon Choi smiled as if she was satisfied with her answer and started to open her wine with her corkscrew.
The manager sensibly even prepared a wine glass.
But there must have been a mistake, there are three cups.

One glass was pushed to the side of her table, and Choi Ji-yeon poured her wine into Park Jung-ah’s glass and poured a glass into her own, and sat across from Park Jeong-ah.

“Bad~”

What makes her feel so good, the smile on Choi Ji-yeon’s face never stops, and she is more cheerful than usual and she bumps her glass at Park Jung-ah.

“How was it?”

The two women take a sip of wine without saying anything, savoring her scent, and Choi Ji-yeon puts her glass down on the table and asks her questions.

“Huh? What?”

“Our Sungmin-ssi’s acting. Did you see it all before?”

Choi Ji-yeon, who is very relaxed, but with her confident face.
Park Jeong-ah hated her appearance, as if she already knew what would come out of her own mouth.

“Well… He’s good at acting… But that’s not all he wants to succeed on this floor, so I’ll have to keep an eye on him.”

“Anyway, with pride and pride… Don’t you want to admit that? It’s not because I brought him, but the atmosphere on the set is like that, and Seongmin-ssi is bound to rise.”

Even Park Jung-ah couldn’t refute what she said. She just quietly put her wine glass to her mouth.

“Hey~ Don’t do that… Shall we invite Seongmin over for a drink?”

“What? I guess he’s crazy I do not want to. I have to shoot tomorrow too, so I’m tired, but what…”

“Why? Seongmin-ssi, you’re young, you’re good-looking, you’re in good shape… Maybe if a young man gets some energy, he’ll be more lively tomorrow. Ho ho ho…”

Choi Ji-yeon loves teasing Park Jung-ah, and she giggles as if she’s going to die.

“Oh, oh, oh… Is he really crazy? They are talking about big things.”

Park Jung-ah speaks her words and suddenly narrows her eyes as she looks at Choi Ji-yeon.

“You can’t… You slept with that guy, didn’t you? I will raise you, so pay back with your body…”

Choi Ji-yeon’s eyes widened at Park Jung-ah’s words.
Park Jung-ah knows better than anyone how Choi Ji-yeon has been in the entertainment industry until now.
But you say something like this to Choi Ji-yeon?
Choi Ji-yeon was ridiculous, but on the other hand, it was very strange that Park Jung-ah thought of and mentioned the body lobby and writing with such young and handsome male celebrities as previous female celebrities did.

She was one of the people who hated her to the extent that Park Jung-ah, like Choi Ji-yeon herself, hated her messiness.
It could have been because she was like that in some way, so she got fed up with her messy show business and took care of her own business and got married early.
But Park Jung-ah thinks like this first?

As Jiyeon Choi raises her glass and pretends to drink her wine, she looks at Jungah Park as if observing her.
It seems that something like a change of heart has happened since I watched the last phantom broadcast… Crucially, that bitch is dissatisfied right now.

Every time she sees Choi Ji-yeon, making a fuss about her looks, and being harsh with Seong-min could all be expressions of her dissatisfaction.
As she gets older, her youthful beauty gradually disappears, and she blames herself for not hugging her husband. A young and handsome man like Seong-min should express that he is beautiful and crawl to him, but since he did not do that, he behaves more harshly.
Maybe it’s the desire to be interested in a man, and the frustration that I still want to feel that I’m being eaten by a man like this, but I can’t.

The corners of Choi Ji-yeon’s mouth rose slightly and insidiously.
