Chapter 8: Baekwon
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EqZ5tkMLP
Because of the party, the two were in a fervent spirit again and began the search for a good restaurant with the intention of sweeping all kinds of dishes in the world.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge4meYOEuH
After 20 minutes of searching, I quietly left and entered the empty room right next to it. The 3rd floor is everywhere, there are small rooms like meeting rooms, which can be used by artists and managers to meet at any time. I stood against the wall next to the half-opened door, staring blankly into the empty room.
I was just waiting for them to finish looking for a restaurant and come out to find me. The door was only half closed, so I could call them back as soon as they were out of the next room. However, instead of seeing the two people I was waiting for, I heard someone else's voice.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFvUbgI5ABh
"What is this? Why are you two here?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeJZc47JD9
Following Myeongshin's bright voice, Hansoo's voice rang out.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAkuifYEKK
"It's my right to be here. Is there a problem?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy7kB4Cy0m
I turned my head to look out the door. Myeongshin was standing with his back half turned to me, coldly spitting each word at Hansoo who was standing opposite.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEp9KSua8bA
"You haven't been fired yet? You can't even stand in front of the camera because of your claustrophobia, what are you doing hanging around here?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡex5HIo9hUD
The manager stepped in front of Hansoo, agitated by that statement and frowned.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1SorqpiS9
"Yoohan, what are you saying? Hansoo..."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZHMjVZYEG
"You too. I don't understand how you are still involved with this company even though you've separated from me and don't have any artists to take care of. Why....That's unlucky."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNVyExutva
Hansoo's face turned red as if offended by Myeongshin's outburst.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZEh8L4I2n
"We're the unlucky ones here! Ah, but do you think even if you weren't here, the manager wouldn't have another artist to take care of? Our manager has found someone new. He even passed the interview and signed the contract today!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYrF43gmPo
Hansoo's next words about my story made me no longer able to listen calmly.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDhOQv50dq
"Chief Park is the one who interviewed him to see how good his acting is, and even cried! He's an acting genius, an acting genius!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLo5rLQfO3
Are you sure you're talking about me?
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6aZaaZnOT
"Don't worry about us anymore, if you want to be a great actor, go back and tell the company to support you well. Okay!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYE6uRy7vN
After raising his chin and spitting out his words, Hansoo grabbed the manager, who was still embarrassed, and pulled back into the room, closing the door.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyDX9535z3
Boom!
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJJKDNOx4u
I watched the closed door for a short moment and then turned to look at the person still standing there. Only half of his face can be seen from here so I don't know what his expression is, but I'm pretty sure he's extremely upset. Seeing a scene like that, I really wanted to laugh. Nothing changed. In the past, Myeongshin was the type that always looked down on others, but in reality he was very attentive and made up his own mind about problems.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMyZcu2uMX
Even if he had changed his image and become a famous actor who can drive a cool sports car every day, inside he is still the same Myeongshin as before. Like now, he could have ignored the director and former colleagues he had ruined, but he couldn't.
Standing looking at the door for a long time, he quickly picked up the phone in his hand and went somewhere. I also left the room and quietly followed. He entered an empty elevator, stopping at the top floor. After confirming, I also went to the top floor and went straight to the rooftop without hesitation.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv8NMaOo8f
On the top floor, when exiting the elevator, in addition to the door leading to the terrace, there was another door, but it could only be opened from the inside. I heard that behind this door is the operating room, so I don't think Myeongshin will be inside. Then only the terrace remains. I went up there once at night .
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBafPfzw38e
Peeking behind the open door, no sound moving towards the source of Myeongshin voice was made. I hid behind a tree in the center and heard Myeongshin angrily shouting at someone on the phone.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bSLbq9i9Z
"....Ah, I'm mad. It's really annoying, what? Ha…What do you mean? Of course, you have to strangle yourself to death. If he dared to work with Director Choi, then I'll let him know what it's like to fail."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2Ves4UIOH
I didn't worry at all knowing that I was the object of his intense insults. On the contrary, my first reaction was that it was funny to see that he cared for me so much. Obviously he doesn't know who I am yet. Thanks to you, everything won't be boring because it's too easy from now on. I was still expressing my gratitude when Myeongshin, who was talking on the phone, suddenly turned around.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5EnaJvoNY
"Who's there?!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhir0P0Hwg
Shit....this is bad.....No matter how great the desire for revenge, in reality, I am just a poor and rural delivery man. If I continue to stand in front of a famous artist driving hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign cars, my ending will only be a laughing stock. So, no matter how funny it looks, I remained to stay out of sight and keep my voice as low as possible so as to not be noticed.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CRU8MwBYq
Clack clack.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWV2T65RtA
I heard his footsteps walking towards me. I glanced around to see if there was another place to hide, but there was no space behind me anymore. The exit door is on the opposite side.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tdpc2rfdw
"I said who's there?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK49bU0l2NG
The high-pitched voice came closer and closer.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu1oT4fbRE
"Do you think I can't tell you're hiding there?!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWmxKgxThh
....Just like this, I'm....
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuM3DzjAxnj
"Who's hiding from you?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBlGUn1COw
"Huh?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV9rNvRwY1
My body that was trembling from the situation was suddenly stiffened by another voice interjecting.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3Iw5Bl4GB
Was there someone else here? I couldn't help but raise my head slightly to look in the direction of the voice. Myeongshin was standing not far from the tree where I was hiding. And a man was coming from the opposite side.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLgu09FZoj
I couldn't see the man's face because his tall frame obscured Myeongshin, but I could clearly see Myeongshin's expression when I caught sight of him. At least more surprised than me. So much so that it was clear that he had inhaled back at that moment. However, what made me more suspicious than surprised was the words that came out of Myeongshin's mouth towards him.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJVYA5kCH5
"Huh! Let me apologize."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9JJ3YcjiT
Realizing the other party, Myeongshin apologize immediately. He slowly walked to the opposite side with a confused face as if he had just made a big mistake.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyCYDUQ1tm
"I heard a noise so I thought someone was eavesdropping on my call. I didn't know it was Mr. Yoon."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBtDP1RUti
"Where do you think this is?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWZuo5ozAn
A soft voice interrupted Myeongshin.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYO1KDWVIl
The familiar slow melody flows into my ears. I forgot about hiding and poked my head out again.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmQWy07taC
"Is it your personal space?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt0ElTew2V
"No…."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiW1wtrM8i
"And that call wasn't interesting enough to be eavesdropped on."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16dL7K2MP3
That means he heard it all too. He has a thick face to add.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7UG0NvfZh
"Just some gossip about stepping on someone new."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7zAGiCwR3
A reluctant smile appeared on Myeongshin's face.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM4GdDXqYz
"You really haven't heard it all right?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdE59tZj3YX
"Cigarettes."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBXunom4uW
"Yes? Ah, you said you wanted to smoke a cigarette alone."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUG6APf0gig
Myeongshin couldn't help but step back, he pursed his lips.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2dYrIKBhQ
"Next time please let me smoke with you."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEQPcfv48L
When Myeongshin talked with sparkling eyes, the other side also rolled their eyes and smiled back.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSXfE4SZFH
"I don't like it."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyC981ichVX
Myeongshin was unable to laugh….The other man as he pointed at the cigarette end in his hand towards the exit. Myeongshin looked at him with a regretful expression, only to leave his greetings and disappear at the door. Not long after, Myeongshin went down the stairs and left completely, but I still couldn't get up from the floor.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX2BdXvndA
Myeongshin is gone, but there's one more person here that I don't want to see. No matter how harsh the people in this country are, I don't want to meet him again.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXZkuwuLcM
However, the wish could not come true.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWZUbRl06D
"Baekwon….haven't you come out already?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLKn3jbTxx
Damned it....I have no choice but to curse in my heart. I slowly got up and walked out of the bushes and saw him with a cigarette in his mouth. Under the bright light, the smile hanging at the corner of his lips looked creepy no matter what. I knew he was the kind of guy who would say something hurtful with that relaxed look on his face. In addition, there is also Myeongshin's attitude towards him.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwWMzgtzYQ
At least he must be much more powerful than an artist....Perhaps because I met him for the second time, I felt more familiar.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTC2wvEd8f
"Is it Song Yoohan? The object of your revenge?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGPxXVg5hK
Unfortunately, it's not just the face that I feel familiar from the second meeting....have I met him somewhere before?......
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnus7UwYI0
"I'm asking if it's Song Yoohan, Baekwon."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTnCqCi9TP
This baekwon nickname….annoys me more than he knows Myeongshin is the object of my revenge.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtbOfeqV4C
I was about to swear, but found it too trivial and not enough to release all the frustration in my body. A stronger curse.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3N5FSiHm8u
Ah, yes.....Hansoo's American curse words.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZc66nz2V7
"You don't have to know….Psychopath."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIL8eiMWnpd
Psycho is a curse word....so ‘Path’ must be for emphasis. I assumed it was on the same level as the son of a bitch, so I spat it out in a low voice. The opponent immediately reacted. Even if it was only for an instant, his eyes narrowed slightly.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93L5IdvZJu
What?.....He's back to normal, but I'm sure he was taken aback by my swearing....His next words upset me even more.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZQNiTV7OA
"Well….I do hear that from time to time."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pm4IJw2z2
What the....does that mean it's not his first time being addressed as such?....Turns out he's a person that I shouldn't deal with more than I thought. I was still wincing because I thought I couldn't keep up with his thoughts, he repeated the question again.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJ3FUXFkST
"So it is Song Yoohan and that's why You chased him all the way here."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoGgYMhrdS
"How do you know?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7UqElPSBL
"Because I chased you."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXXWOecrVO
He has no shame….
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZo9yXlnIu
With a cigarette in his mouth his head turned to one side.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrJz3HhSLH
"I heard that you passed the interview? The rumor that you were holding a knife in front of department head Park that scared him to tears has spread."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuRmSSSqDQ
The corners of his eyes were curved up, and his eyes were looking towards my back pocket as if I can see the knife.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftbZoxOPY9
"I heard you threatened him with actions like thugs, reading lines no less than like a 5 year old kid. You could have easily turned the situation around, but if it weren't for Chief Park, being too cowardly. Then you wouldn't have stood a chance in passing the interview."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dQDbYxDRH
That soft voice cut me like a knife. He had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold as ice. I looked at him and slowly opened my mouth.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGngk7f2Rj
"That's right. There's no chance for me."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3r6TEoTbQ
It seemed for a moment his smile had disappeared. However, as if it had formed a habit, the corners of his lips were raised again.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxNi6cnVYR
"No special looks, nor natural talent for an actor who wants revenge?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57Dli6emnb
"None of your business."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEkSdXIeAe
I spat out brusquely, but the other party pretended not to hear me and put a smile in their eyes. At that time, he seemed very happy, laughter mixed in his voice.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKf6SOLeVi
"With that strength, if you want to climb up to Song Yoohan's current position, you will have to work in this world for at least decades, unless there is a sponsor to support you. Ah, you said that you are aiming at Director Yoon."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFpvHZkZyJ
At the same time, he scanned my body from top to bottom.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK8xN7dyjN
"Relying only on yourself?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrofDFwoYF
Strangely, I didn't feel angry at all. Maybe it's because of that dry intonation. It's just like talking about an obvious fact.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGPloX4Nsu
"I know. I'm in control of myself."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreK2POOnMd
I replied calmly, he replied immediately.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHQCBKYRlV
"Yes, that's it."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2GsV2nyXn
He took a swig of the flaming cigarette into his mouth and blew out a puff of white smoke.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFYydKWYgl
"Seems like you know that. At your level anything is impossible. I find you to be the type of person who is quite practical, not easily excitable. Isn't it interesting for an actor to not with the slightest prospect like you wanting revenge?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkk8W1pxST
No, it's not interesting at all. I have a feeling I can't communicate with him, not least because he only says hurtful words. I instinctively seemed to have recognised the horror coming from him, such as the difference between that smiling face and the cold words. As he said, he will not hesitate to reveal all that I have hidden deep inside.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cLXHVQTmg
"You, actually...."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡigOCqKjuIa
I screwed up…..Only such thought remained in my mind ever since returning from the rooftop. How could I meet such a bad guy? I made the mistake of asking for a cigarette the first time I met him. Damn it.....There are people who can always see through the other as if looking at a ghost. Those are the ones that'll make me suffer forever if I make an enemy of them…
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wPnCETg33
"If you have decided to stay at this company, you will still have to meet me a lot. And like I said, I find you quite interesting. So, do you think I should interfere a bit with what you're trying to do ? Well, what will you give me?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnnQ5Oog00
I was threatened by a guy I don't even know his name. He was kind enough to give me his phone number, and gave me a week. I really wanted to ignore what he said but his attitude. Myeongshin's attitude towards him makes me hesitate. Just how powerful is he after all ?
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntQFqkqLNB
"....Taemin?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET98yHZPL1
I turned my head to look at the hand shaking my shoulder, the manager and Hansoo were staring at me.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm4inIaVtg
"How are you? What happened??! Suddenly for you to come back with this serious face?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutSTxpHAdK
"Manager"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KKZWCXZ4o
"Hmm?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfugkAVRebV
"An artist in this company, about 30 years old, always has a smile on his face….That's all. What are you going to ask?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YnQa8CNaY
There's no point in knowing his name. It's a mistake anyway.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9arwBwWnB8
"Well, I was going to ask him if he had time to take a profile picture next week. I should have taken a picture right away, but I pushed it back a week to let the wound on your face heal first. That would be the first photo of your career. Chief Park also contacted me so I could see the photo, and then decide on the future direction for you. So you have to be very attentive....Well, I have to tell you first, the person taking the photo is really important. Just taking good pictures, anyone who knows how to use a camera can do it, but not everyone can capture the expensive points and color schemes. Fortunately, the studio affiliated with the company is a well-known place to work, so there is nothing to worry about ahhah"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjbumksEr6
.....I have nothing to worry about anyway.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRyywqVLqH
"In addition, it is necessary to supplement your resume, past activities such as your education level, for example."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWlqWTUrZA
The more he talked the more quietly, the manager glancing at the knife in my back pocket with concern.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaxTQDBoQF
"Hmm, I was just asking just in case. Taemin, did you do something bad in the past...."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3kIi1Yy8D
"Don't worry. I'm not an ex-convict"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXceZh3qML
"R-right?...I knew it….Hahaha."
Manager said in unsettling laugh.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ0VI3T1Hl
"I only had to go to the police station a few times."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeWTbDmdlN
Their expressions suddenly stiffened....Why are they so surprised? Looking back and forth between the two of them for a while, I asked softly.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡye76A4Tgpm
"Haven't the two of you ever been taken to the police station in your life?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Ik1OXfwZ
"......."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSSApqJZt1
"......."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXs1KNJsZz
I couldn't understand the silence between the two, so I could only watch, Hansoo opened his mouth for the manager.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrOKTkgubi
"Well then, I'm just asking. High school....Did you graduate?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxtEBF90pd
"No. I was expelled when I first entered the school."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKEnA38L75
The manager's eyebrows twitched wildly.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLnleg8cdO
"So you worked hard to earn money to buy medicine for your sick mother after being expelled from school...."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQU5HUQHei6
"I rode my motorbike and robbed the boys."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1zwfhb8u8
Somehow the expressions on the two's faces looked so pale…..Are they hungry? I thought about it and told them my only weakness.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDr0rF9qWR
"So, I'm a bit ignorant. Especially in English."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR27kGL29v3
The faces of the two of them were so white that it made me a little nervous, the manager opened his mouth to speak.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2B9a0hzgF0
"....Well...from now on we're gonna leave everything about you to god and hope for the best....."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBhPiunCKp
Fortunately, They found a new delivery man so....I only needed to work an extra week. Handing over the car keys on the last day, I quietly left work without saying goodbye. From tomorrow, I will no longer work here , but somewhere else, but I have not really adjusted yet. However, I know. I will do my best to get revenge, just like I worked hard for 5 years to repay the debt. Maybe it's just an extension of time for me to pay off the debt. And maybe because of that, I calmly accepted it like that. Even if suddenly there was a problem on the first day of taking my profile picture.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY6AA1rkR1
In my mind, it's very simple, just press the shutter button and you're done. So when I was taken to the studio with high ceilings like a warehouse, I felt awkward. Devices I don't know the names of are everywhere, and in the middle of them only a white background is hung. I don't know what's in front of me, but I know what's missing here. Humans, there's no one here to operate them.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37ls8gEoaW
"Sorry?! The shoot will have to be cancelled?!!.....What do you mean by that?!!... I sent a confirmation call just yesterday! And didn't we agree on this already?!! I even checked in with you twice that we will arrive at 1pm today?!!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaICKPMEWrs
The manager rarely gets angry. Only a female employee was present. However, the girl just repeated in panic over and over that she was just a part-time employee.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6N9J5ZZ3p
[I apologize sir....I wasn't informed of the reason as well.....Everyone packed their equipment and left early in the morning for an outdoor photo shoot today......They said they'll be somewhere in the countryside....and said they didn't know when they would come back…]
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eAChgopiX
"All the photographers and makeup team? Including Mr. Park??"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuNmquyV39
[Yes , including Mr.Park and the makeup team...received a text message this morning telling them to keep the office for a few days.]
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBlJvKfkcT
"!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjoE5KuydFD
The part-time employee is trying to call their superior and keeps explaining to the manager like they're about to cry. But I can only hear the music of the phone playing and no one on the other end picks up the phone. The manager stands on the other side, I also tried to call, but my fingertips suddenly stopped at the staff's words.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopk87Bga4i
[I don't know either, I heard that Mr. Song Yoohan needs to take an outdoor pictorial urgently....]
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZykrOUl7P
The employee who was connected to the other end hurriedly explained the current situation, but immediately her expression turned awkward when she heard it. Their conversation went on for a few minutes before the employee hung up on the phone ending the conversation...
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9J14tKptr
Tut. Tut. Tut....
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjUxZWjN8h
"I'm sorry....It seems Myeongshin is interfering with your work because of me..."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkCNBcb7CG
"......."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQ1vqnI7QG
I was about to say that I wasn't surprised that I heard Myeongshin talk about this on the phone on the rooftop, but I just kept quiet.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHicEouxJAB
Why should he apologize? It's just a photo shoot, right?
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtCjj11gdfB
"Can we take pictures elsewhere?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom93RJiTeS
Immediately, the manager's face was a little embarrassed when asked.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf5UhAYqHN
"Uh….Well this is the place where the company signed a contract with….and If we want to shoot elsewhere, we have to report it to the top for permission.....or, we can pay for it ourselves....but well I'm kind of low on the funds right now...."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboaZbmOKxG
"......"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkMKeGofyc
"Ah....I-It's okay!!! Even though you have signed a 1-month contract and have to send photos as soon as possible....Don't worry! There are plenty of people in the company who can take pictures too.......If it becomes urgent, then anyone can do it."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡse8f47gqj9
"......."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdx9S4i5Gu
Whoever?....Didn't you explain to me how important the photographer is? On the contrary, the person who needs to be calm here is the manager, but I don't have a chance to interfere.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKrZASwceB
"Taemin, go back first today, let see them again the day after tomorrow"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zHOSL0dk5
"......."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jpp7YFjHx
"Will the day after tomorrow be ok?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGq3a0QTvN
When the manager asked the employee who had hung up the phone at this time, she seemed to want to cry while holding the schedule .
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9XOWrJY4W
[This…..He also told me not to accept reservations because the schedule is already full until the end of the month.]
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtf0U58nVf
"Huh? Ha, what about us...."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ674kUQSCwn
The manager unconsciously raised his voice but then lowered his voice, he knew that this girl over the phone was not at fault.

"Please choose a date in advance. We can arrive early in the morning....."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLSRf6t21e
The voice became smaller as if it was stuck in my throat so I couldn't hear it, with a pleading tone to the benevolent girl. He repeatedly told the girl to contact them as soon as they had time before they would leave the studio.
Looks like he's starting to blame himself again, I wanted to comfort him but couldn't.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZyXawNizk
"That's surprising, isn't it? Hahahaha….this job is always in trouble, things like this happen every day."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFSlCVBpRC
The manager's face muscles trembled slightly as he tried to smile. I also just nodded and got into his old car, because I thought that no matter what I said now he wouldn't hear. Then he gave me some papers to change the atmosphere a bit.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab38mLjrfd
"I have already prepared your upcoming schedule."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGFieCFEWC
On the piece of paper he gave, all day was practice.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCN4IUCGdm
Practice vocals, pronunciation, movements, dance…..In the dense schedule from morning to night, each day one or two time boxes are highlighted in red. The manager himself took it and explained it.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRSfdsP1it
"These are company-supported classes. Most of the participants are pre-trained, so it might be hard for you to keep up. But don't worry, people. If you can do it, you can do it too."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS74si0IeeV
"......."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQaUUur1o8
I'm not worried at all, but like before, I didn't get a chance to say it. Because I was having time, the manager called me to listen to a lecture one class ago. However, the content of the call this time fell into the same situation as the call not long ago.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAsbupBGRj
"…..What? What does it mean to not accept the actors I take on? The company has already supported it….The actors are still untested?! I don't know anything so I have to learn ! Of course! It's contract support...."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnymgOmA2Td
The manager who was still raising his voice suddenly fell silent. When I suspected he might have stopped breathing, he exhaled and whispered.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHgSAAJCpR
".....Is it Song Yoohan? That brat…..Hello? Hello!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HqQEoDZ0A
The manager blankly looked at the phone when the other party disconnected. I don't know the details of what happened, but it looks like my schedule for today is empty. I looked down at the paper in my hand. The schedule of the whole week is detailed in just one page.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNY2xkLtNB
Drawing lines and filling in the boxes looks like a timetable that I used to use when I was in school. There are four such panels. I will spend a month there. How will I spend a month as an actor signing a 1-month contract? I'm sure he put a lot of thought into it.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbg6F2u0dh
"Taemin-ah, I'm really sorry. That's….That's..."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapsvsOomsp
He said something else, but at that moment I couldn't hear anything more.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPBcxAbEMA
I have no power at all.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKD4DmUwXS
I was self-aware from the beginning and still spent time thinking about it, but in reality....I had no idea the opportunity had already occurred to me. It's just, I still silently cross out the opponent because he seems like a troublesome person and will probably drive me crazy for a long time.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dGKy2xLq5
That psychopath.......he was right.....
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9W9UcQ8LOT
What can be done by relying on myself alone? Without any further consideration, I must seize this opportunity.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJURrPruHds
No matter how crazy an opportunity it may be.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxezIwlCoqs
"Let's go back to the company first..."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qaYQg0zWw
Rustling.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmiBDPbc8p
I grabbed the manager's arm and interrupted him. Then he turned around and asked me what was wrong.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVYqD0pNtcd
"He's going to be disappointed."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLZwea1DNj
What's the point of disappointment? Who? I only replied with one name.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBsqkUG7uO
"Song Myeongshin."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQpawwzQqB
"What are you talking about?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6LFgKMMPw
Followed by a series of silly words, then I asked another question.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOABrMEWZCn
"What do you think of me?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5OKZ9aH69
"Huh? What?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpFGh14Y4X
"Do you find me interesting?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hAtBin9NF
"Well...instead of saying are you interesting, sometimes I just want to punch you."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXL9oMO6G6
I smiled and laughed, he answered unexpectedly seriously, and picked up the phone. I found the phone number that I had conveniently saved and pressed.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrVWc0Bhpd
[Madman]
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PjcEGbvhC
Ring.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMU2vz0QVV
After a moment, a familiar soft sound came through the phone.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4EtGXaIYG
[What's up]
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ9o5UuFTN
"I'll give it to you."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zebdeqcOo
[......]
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlO4Uvn3nUH
I felt the puzzled look of the manager beside me, calmly adding when there was still no response on the other line.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSB8z0wXX9
"So give me the deposit first."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz403Onc4l
After a while, I heard a low chuckle along with a question .
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze6xyz08XO
[What do I gain by having you?]
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovMx1n6l9P
“Profit? Well then….I'll let you punch me once in a while....Oh, and there's no refund....So let me take the deposit first.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ616nkXcoP2
Click. Vroom.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24DldoCUrP
I confirmed the sound of the car closing tightly, sat up and leaned back against the car seat. Perhaps because I went out to listen to the latter part of the call, the manager only heard the first part, his expression now mixed with concern and curiosity.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU2BK1gx9v
"Who was that?....After all, who did you say to give what?....What else is there to deposit?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOXuHk1rKW
I know it would be bad to be rude to the other person, but I had to ask another question to avoid answering him.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkA3NCRoHU
"Who do you think is the best?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsK0f4VCxyC
"What is the best?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L0GlDyqoN
"To take pictures."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm3sZdyRKp
In the blink of an eye, he just looked at me without answering, so I had to tell him a little bit about what he was curious about.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXLYhcGlY3
"Someone agreed to help."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmSduzMdHP
"Who?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGG2cQDo2u
When I heard that, I remembered that I didn't even know his name.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRH4VDsdfy
"I don't know.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghmeuo70fN
The manager’s expression cracked a little when he heard my sincere answer.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubNBxMmxho
"You...don't know?....Are you kidding?..."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mVKFitB1V
" I really don't know....But I do know one thing."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM13TqD4fO5
"What?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvuzCyzs0R
I opened my mouth to speak as soon as he asked back.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw546GjbYy
"He is more powerful than Myeongshin "
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvPJSx81UF
"......."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtebPWzIe9
"So who is the best photographer?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVg3uQywzK
"If we are talking about photos then, Photographer Mr. Lee is the best....but.....he won't take your photos for you. He's famous for not working with those who don't suit his liking....Wait , who is more powerful than Myeongshin? What does he do? How do you know he is more powerful than Myeongshin?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Es976c90U
"I saw Myeongshin crouch in front of him."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g2Qix68Sg
I think that should be enough to explain everything. Considering the actions of Myeongshin that I witnessed, it looks like he bowed to someone more powerful than that. I realized, because I had seen it many times before.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs21IpaXFgJ
Everywhere there are people who always rely on their instincts to find the stronger one and then have to go elsewhere. These guys may be annoying and despicable, but in reality it's because they're not as strong that they have to be so vigilant. The problem is that among them there will always be those with dark intentions who want to rise to the top. I have also witnessed with my own eyes a gang that has collapsed just because of the tricks of a certain greedy guy. This type of person is even more dangerous and tougher than the strong. Everyone thinks so. But obviously there are still some similar types of people.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g0CIxrGQG
Myeongshin is trying to be the best , but still not the best. So it was obvious what his actions meant. Because he was facing someone more powerful, he bowed his head like that. I thought this was a simple fact that didn't need much explanation, but the manager frowned and asked again.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFP69Qcg8al
"Just because of that...you asked some stranger that you don't even know?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjW1I2nFKc
"Yes."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfDxh1Umy8
He didn't know what to say and just looked at me silently, then mumbled in a low voice.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFLMiNJlyv
"Seems like you're just living off of your instincts."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8wB9CTqK5
Is it that obvious? After all, everyone lives by instinct. I wanted to talk to the manager but stopped.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPS5WKx4m2
"But what if that person is a dangerous person? Besides, if he asks you to do weird things, what should you do?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnLqAk8AkQ
The manager did not understand why he hesitated a bit, then calmly expressed his point of view.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIgaYxURSqg
"Although I don't like you looking for sponsors , since you want revenge I can let you go, but you don't even know who they are yet."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU7FHlXlo6
"Manager….then would it be better if I let the month pass by with our hands tied just like this because of Myeongshin?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6uegfQH23
"...That's..."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vJ5JxZbUk
"Do you think I look like someone who is easily fooled?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNioHjmIgqq
As soon as I finished speaking, I stared at him, and he almost stopped breathed and did not move, after a while he sighed in response.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPDtNAYfN4
"No."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmloNoMXo6
"Then just hand it over to me and let's go."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBusT1lMKK
"Okay...."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvh3eTFtwt
Manager answered and started the car. Suddenly he turned to look at me.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaZbXVDgRs
"But where are we going now?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYLiE7DUgf
The scene similar to when you first arrived at the studio opened up before your eyes. Unidentified equipment spread like a warehouse, without a single window, all the lights were directed towards the single white background hanging in the center. The photographer's studio, according to the manager, is the best today, as quiet as the previous location.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D7XEDmFD6
"The photographer does not have any photo shoot today...We have not received any appointment from Dream."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRjtSooQHx
Inside a single young man working at the computer desk was rummaging through a sealed notebook schedule and awkward reply.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzK69SYxew
Hearing that, the manager immediately turned to look at me. His eyes were filled with the same confidence that he confirmed to me before entering the studio.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqtPLVbY1q
"That person said he would help you, right?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEZYuEbfzK
I nodded dejectedly in response....
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yzTe6yFsq
"We do not have an appointment , but we need to take pictures. Do you know where Mr. Lee is? If he comes to see us, he will know immediately."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8Qq8PZ2SZ
"He’s busy upstairs....So I was told not to disturb him today...."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5R8ZFC78t
"Well, then just call him down, okay? We have a good reason....Anyway, don't worry, just try calling."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQrPO8Q2uE
For a long time, the young man who had to keep calling under the urging of the manager, finally turned his back and started to whisper something. The manager looked at me with satisfied eyes and explained to me.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoE6jP4grMu
"As you can see, to be able to set up a studio like this at a young age, Mr. Lee 's ability must be said to be number one.....But he is also very stubborn, he never shoots….I posed for models he didn't like at all, so I was a bit worried, but the person you called on the phone said he would help already, so we'll probably get some pictures taken."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJZ9OvC22a
There, I had to constantly hear raves about Mr. Lee and then turned to look at the boy who ended the call. He tensed up, turned off the phone, and opened his mouth to us thoughtfully.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6KJeVuohG
"He said he would come down soon. But....he is very angry."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5RCYp9BXXz
"Huh? Angry?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj423ucjLt
Stunned, the manager checked my expressionless face again, and gave me a wry smile
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeuM2pqzlf
"Looks like Mr. Lee still hasn't received the contact....Don't worry....I'll definitely call you soon."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFAe1TzVU2
"Call who?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqFRPKcVVu
"Ah , it was…"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAw6RfxTM0F
The manager glanced at me again and whispered to me in a low voice so that the young man could not hear.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm008gjfaAZ
"Hmm, it's not that I doubt you, but are you sure ? "
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uScuxHkz7
"For now please believe me. So Mr. Lee will definitely take the picture."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TSktkyjq2
Seeing me, he answered tersely. Thus, the manager immediately turned his head to look.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dqV0kBxuE
"Hahaha….Obviously he already contacted Mr. Lee."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3QCNp0iFj
"Who is that?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIe0tM8fUM
"......!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3toAtuSmK
"A very powerful person?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNscy5e5kk
"Yes?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6mRFxy8hV
The young man seemed to want to cry, when he opened his mouth to say something, there were a series of footsteps going down the stairs.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaN0WddhXa
I don't know if it was because I was in the basement, but the bell and the door opened.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrENAILPub0
Boom!
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5JdII7ZTR
Then came a voice like thunder.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRoAfynpXY
"Ah, Damn! Who's bothering me?!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgbjYpQrXC
Just like the manager said, entering with the door open was a young man in his thirties, wearing only a pair of underwear. The most interesting thing in this world can be said to be standing aside and watching people tear each other apart, but if you keep repeating it over and over, it will eventually become boring.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7yzi8NZlR
"I told you not to bother me? Do you want to die?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i4gQMFQgj
"Boss,...I don't want to bother you...but this guy is from Dream.....And said that someone had contacted you about this...."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjBFQ7BHCV
"I've never been contacted?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTamoTyryeA
"Ah....It seems like they haven't gotten in touch yet, so...."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVn2m54CTX
"No matter what Director Choi promises! I haven't received any contact. And I told you not to bother me no matter what ! "
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5rGUCKieX
“Boss! But because they keep saying that they will contact us....I didn't know how to handle it..."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2WwXdTdTc
"Manager, there is no contact at all!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37hlkvHxb7
"What about Mr. Lee, even though you know me, you still doubt me? Huh? You don't trust me that much? You said that's not the problem, I didn't get any calls, and you! "
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOM4j2Oup5
"Ahhh! Boss, please trust me. Because the manager said he would contact...."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqr9G7addl
It was like a loop.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol2r7vtSd1
Seeing three people standing together in a triangle and saying it over and over again makes me feel extremely confused. Is that their hobby? I doubted, slowly walking towards the white background illuminated by the lights. I stood right in the middle of it and slowly turned around to look at the devices around. These are things that I have to get used to from now on.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUL8cbK7uQX
Strangely, there was no fear or trembling at all. Maybe it's mostly because of my fearlessness, but I still can't understand. Why should I be afraid to stand in front of the camera? I stood looking at this pile of equipment that I assumed was to support the front-facing camera, then suddenly realized that at some point my surroundings had become quiet.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3AwuaqOeC
When I rolled my eyes, the three of them were all looking at me with different expressions. Curiosity, grimacing and worried. Among them, the one with an annoyed face stepped forward.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73qGHPKD2B
"Hey, you can't just go in there."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcASnnKy1AI
I cut off the young man who was waving at me to go out and turned to look at the person standing next to him. The person looked at me with curious eyes.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmte62Im0s
"I heard you only take pictures for people you want right?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJzqXSXKvP
At my question, Mr. Lee only wore pants with one eyebrow raised.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxF4jfNVk8Q
"Yes."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBcqvWQJSR
"Then it doesn't matter.No matter who calls you. Since only you would be able to decide whether you'll take it or not after you see me in person. "
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWcvHSjqUq
He should have looked at me first and then made up his mind. Realizing the meaning behind my words, he stood silently looking at me for a while. Then he tilted his head to one side and said.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlOsy19spj
"Take off your shirt."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72opSO04Ry
It was an unexpected request, but I didn't care much to follow it. Two crossed hands grabbed the collar of the t-shirt and pulled it up. Stretching my head and arms, I threw my T-shirt on the floor. And face him with a topless torso.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45vxfYIXGW
I could feel the chill pass through my exposed skin, but I didn't see any problem. And no shame at all. Isn't there someone cooler in front of me? While I wondered if this Mr. Lee was feeling more embarrassed, he watched my body closely until I started to get bored. As I just silently received his gaze, I heard a question.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22PqXMAPVs
"Do you do any manual labor? These muscles don't look like body-builder."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYntZvDzFgX
The manager next to him was quick to explain his conjecture.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvocuefc29
"Haha...not quite manual labor, Taemin only worked as a courier you see..."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1oFJQKUNW
"If you are talking about field work, I did those too...."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xFBYFsarh
"What?! But , didn't you say that you worked in delivery during the day and at a logistics centre at night?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlFEZ8YTsO
"Yes...On weekdays. "
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJkf9WycGJ
"......."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5nkscUYNQ
"I only do manual labor on weekends."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dZnHMWA8q
"Then when do you rest?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqI6Qlkaj04
"I've never taken time off."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuXdRgkJvB
"!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhl0DEU3Ms
"!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnkeDhC55j
I don't know why either, Mr. Lee took his eyes off the manager's stiff face. I turned to look at Mr. Lee, for a moment I thought his eyes were smiling, but he immediately returned to normal and said.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡom9zeZLsxr
"Ah Well…You're just so average."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadElbaHT6B
"......."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYUwIRgSnf
"And it's not like you're exceptionally handsome either….You're aware that a face like yours is overflowing in this world, right?....Even if you heard a few times in your life that you have pretty good features, that means nothing here."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN9Kk0AcVN
"......."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWQ74WM9Dr
"Rather if we look at things only with your looks, then there's not even a place for you to squeeze in...I have a feeling that after a year or two, your face will be known a little bit more , but that's it....with that little bit of fame....it won't work in the end, after since there won't be many people who will recognise you..."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHj4slbZgv9
The last sentence that predicted my future was filled with ridicule. I could hear the manager whispering angrily to Mr. Lee, but was immediately buried by my question.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡon9VHk2keD
"So you don't want to take my pictures?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvsJqlFAvj
When I asked dryly, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bu9RG4YOz
"Nah, I'll take them for you. "
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZoH6Ns1EL
"Then let's do it…"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GOsMZ0fxq
At my conclusion he raised the corners of his lips higher and said to the manager.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREdoD2W50u
"Where did you find him? The more you look at him the more interesting he becomes."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgSneOQIjG
The manager's face, which was still a little tense, was now completely relieved by his words and smiled.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEZdtj0on9
"Right? If you keep looking at him, don't you want to take his pictures?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIYmHH1S9K
"Of course I will take his pictures, but under the condition of doing me a favor…"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBzMi8jBQl
"If I may ask....What favor is it that you ask of....?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3UEk0Sejh
When the wary manager asked back, he smiled and pointed at night as if there had never been a sad expression on his face.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmSYmBau2z
"I am working on a personal project and I want to take his photos for the project."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzCpHhip26
Hearing that, the manager was no longer worried and nodded in relief.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSFZiXEWop
"Well of course you may take photos of him for your project. What project is it?"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLNKR53sl7
"Nude."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn73IAUxMPn
"Hahaha…Nude....What?.... Mr. Lee???!!!!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKp1aLzrXxR
The smile on his lips started to shake as he laid steady eyes on the opponent. Mr Lee quickly expressed his request for help.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Alt9LoKQP
"Hey, Manager Choi, let me take his pictures....I've always wanted to take a picture of a body like that!....I wish for a reality that truly shows the beauty of life, not a bunch muscles which were intentionally created!"
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtNIWWFRB9
"Absolutely not."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzlJpEYU7t
"Okay I'll do it."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Rljj6lGRw
Ignoring the doubt as to whether my manager would have a sore throat at that rate, I repeated what I had just interrupted.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIXDU3FJVJ
"I will let you shoot me nude."
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMLHfrxCDz
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCSdkSeqceV
