Chapter 95 – From Crisis to Opportunity

Even after that day, I have maintained a moderate (?) Relationship with Sua.
Still only kisses and caresses.
And that is only when the two of them are at Sua’s house.
Outside, the relationship between actor and manager is strictly maintained.

On that day, Sua was very reckless, but after that day, she returned to her original innocent actress.
With the fresh and innocent Sua.
She now dyes her face red just by holding her hand.
She didn’t know how that day she rushed to her naked body.

I don’t want to rush her relationship with Sua.
Sua is a refreshing drink for my heart.
I hope she will keep her innocence for a long time.

“Mr. He says he still hasn’t been in touch.”

Morning in the car.
Sua, who was looking at her phone, says.

“That human? Joo Jung-hwan is an actor?”
“What are you learning? That person doesn’t even deserve to be called an actor.”

Actor Joo Jung-hwan, who plays the male lead in this drama.
If it’s funk until today, it’s already been 3 days.
Thanks to this, the damage to other actors and production crew is not the only one.

“The broadcast is less than three weeks away. I don’t know if they’re changing the lead role now.”
“Please. He will come back.”
“Even if you come back, it’s an envoy. I am not kidding.”

After fighting with me that day, I hadn’t been in touch for three days already.
At this point, it’s not just a funk, but a disappearance.

“What does the agency say?”
“I am looking for it. I really want to know what you are looking for.”

Sua also rarely got angry at the irresponsible attitude.
Even her mother complained at her house, so what can I say?

I don’t know where he is or what he is doing.
I’ll forgive you even now, so I want you to come back.
Even if I forgive, others may not forgive.

It is an important drama for both Sua and her mother.
I don’t think it’s true that it’s ruined like this.

“Actors, please gather in the meeting room.”
“It’s another meeting. Mr. Seonhu, please wait a moment.”

At the broadcasting station.
Sua grumbled and headed to the meeting room.

It’s not just Sua.
Everyone on set was on edge.
Actors and staff.
It felt like it would explode if touched.

The amount is pushed back, but there is no lead actor, so the progress is not progressing.
Pulling out an individual’s length was now the limit.

Thanks to this, I am in a state of insecurity as I have one foot in this situation.
No matter how much I heard that it wasn’t my fault, my heart wasn’t completely clear.

“Hey, have a coffee.”
“Yes? Oh, thank you.”

Suddenly, there was a paper cup in front of me.
When I said hello, it was a familiar face.

“Ah. At that time.”

He helped move the props on set.
And he was a young part-timer who threw coffee at actor Joo Jung-hwan.

“Sorry. I did something stupid back then.”

A part-timer who apologizes sullenly.

“No. I lived thanks to that. Really.”

If it wasn’t for that coffee, I would have been in real trouble.

“But it seems like you’re not coming out because of me.”
“No way. Absolutely not. That person is a strange person. There is no need to blame yourself.”

For some reason, the part-timer was thinking the same as me.
I was blaming myself for not coming out because of me.
So I was just following the advice I heard.

“I hope you come soon. I hate to see you.”
“Iknow, right. I hate to see you.”

My part-timer and I looked at each other and laughed.
For some reason, he was friendly like no one else.
Is it because you went through something like that?

“My name is Jin Seon-hu. I came as Hwang Soo-ah’s manager.”
“Ah, yes, I am Kim Seon-ha, who came to the set part-time. I’m a senior in high school.”

The part-timer took off his hat and nodded.
As she took off her hat, the long hair hidden inside fell out.

She said, “She was a student. Somehow, he looked very young.”
“Hey, how old is your brother? Oh right. Can I call you brother?”
“Twenty one. Call me at your convenience. Then, uh, what do I call you?”
“Feel free to call me good.”
“Ah, yes. Please take good care of me, Mr. Seonha.”
“Except Mr. I’m the youngest, so no one calls me that.”
“Huh. Well, please. Good.”
“Yes. Before and after the older brother.”

Bashshi’s smiling face is cute.
Thank god. To be friendly
After all, it’s easier for people to get together if they have a common enemy.

“But can high school seniors do this part-time job? Shouldn’t it be too late?”
“Yes. It’s okay because I’m a livelihood type.”

Ugh I see.
I don’t want to touch on such a sensitive subject.
If you don’t care about yourself, you shouldn’t care about others.
I have to pretend I don’t know.

“The part-time job on the set is good because the hourly wage is at least, and the hours are long. The break time is long. You can also see your favorite celebrities.”
“I see. Celebrity who?”
“I used to like Joo Jung-hwan, but now I hate him the most. I want to change now.”
“That, yes. You better change it.”

Throwing coffee at the back of the celebrity you liked.
Kids these days are scary.

“Mr. Seonhu!”

While I was chatting with Seonha, Mr. Sua hurriedly called.
Surprisingly, the meeting ended quickly.

“Ah. Sorry.”
“No. Go.”

Leaving Seonha bowing her head, she ran to Sua.

“Seonhoo-san, hurry up! It’s a big deal!”
“Yes? Why?”
“Look at the news, news!”

Sua put her phone in my face.
It had the name of a media company famous for exposing the private lives of celebrities.

‘[Exclusive] Famous actor Joo Jung-hwan sued for fraud of 20 billion won’

What’s this? Joo Jeong-hwan?

“20 billion?!”

I screamed involuntarily.

“I heard that people around me took all of their money and put it into a coin investment or something. I guess he went to sleep.”

The gaping mouth did not close.
What the hell am I watching?
I blinked and read the article.

Joo Jung-hwan was accused of fraud.
More than 30 victims have been identified so far.
The amount of damage is over 20 billion.
Women who were in an internal relationship, family members, relatives, fellow actors, agency employees, etc.
The number of victims and the amount of damage may increase further.
I am out of contact.
There is no official announcement from the agency yet.
It is known that Joo Jung-hwan himself invested close to 10 billion won.

“Then 30 billion.”

It’s the amount that makes your head spin.
It’s great to collect that money, but putting it all in a coin and blowing it away.
What about the people around you who believe and invest?

“Didn’t Sua do it?”
“Why am I doing that? I don’t need that.”

Thank god.
Mom is? Wouldn’t you?
Because I didn’t get along very well.

No, rather than that, how does the shooting go?
Can you keep filming this person?

“I think I will change. If you write someone like that, you’ll be ruined before the broadcast even starts. If we change it before public sentiment goes bankrupt, we can still save it.”

Even if the results of the trial haven’t come out yet, it’s certain if you see that he’s gone into hiding.
Oh my god. How did this happen
There were no bad things like this.

“Then who plays the role of Hwang Jin-woo?”
“I’m still in a meeting because of that. Even if you have a meeting, you won’t come out with a sharp answer… Ah!”

Sua looks at me with a face as if she has attained enlightenment.
Eureka! Seems to shout

“What’s wrong?”
“Seonhoo does it!”
“Yes? What?”
“What the hell are you learning!”

Mr. Sua speaks as if it is a very good idea.
What the hell are you talking about

“I’m not even an actor, so there’s no way I can do it.”
“First! Come see!”

Recently, I found out something about Sua’s personality.
He’s usually calm, but he’s reckless when asked.
This is what I mean when I want to do something, I don’t cover my front and back.

“Mr. Sua. Wait. Really.”
“Whether it is or not, let’s do it. I learned it anyway, but no matter who came in, I couldn’t be better than Mr. Seonhu. Seonhoo’s acting skills are guaranteed by me and teacher Lim Im-hye. Two top actresses endorse it, but aren’t the audition conditions sufficient? The director, writer, and other actors will know everything when they see you.”
“Calm down, Sua. Don’t waste other people’s time with this. Everyone is getting sharper.”
“Turn it off~~!”

Sua whimpered and forcibly pulled my arm, but she couldn’t let me be dragged away.
It doesn’t make sense to use a rookie with no career as the lead role in such a big drama.
If I go out in a bad mood, I might spark.
The last actor Joo Jung-hwan… No, just like when Joo Jung-hwan fought that human.

Now that I think about it, that person must have been sharper too.
Because of the coin investment failure, you have put all of your money and the money of the people around you.
Just making eye contact is enough.
If I hit you there, did you intend to extort money from your mother in the name of settlement?
Ugh. Asshole.

And now it’s a situation where everyone is so sharp.
I didn’t want to pour oil on it for nothing.

“Mr. It is said that opportunities in a person’s life come three times. I know?”

Sua hasn’t given up yet.
When I was not brought, Sua seems to have changed her strategy to persuade me with words.

“The second chance has already passed before you know it, and this may be the last chance for you. I don’t know what your future hopes are, but if you miss this opportunity, you might not be able to achieve them forever.”

Last chance.
Plans for the future.
Sua’s words touched my heart.

The first thing that comes to mind is my mother’s face.

My future hope, my wish is to start a family with my mother.
It is not a mother and son family.
It is a family as a couple, as a man and a woman.

To do that, you need money.
A huge amount of money to overcome no matter what happens.

That’s not money that a social freshman can earn by working for a few years.
And there is also a time limit.
Because there is a fixed period for a mother to have children.
The end of that deadline may come when.

You need to make a lot of money in a short period of time.
Like Joo Jeong-hwan, who went into hiding after failing, he might have to invest in coins.
However, coins also require initial funds.

If so, really, as Sua said.
This might be my last chance in my life.

“… Mr. Sua. Can you help me?”
“Yes!!”

Sua answered happily.

It’s not a question of whether you can or can’t.
Had to

Because there is nothing easier than acting for me.
Because my life has been acting from beginning to end.

To be or not to be.
It’s a curse, eat it or not.
I decided to give it a try.
