Chapter 34
It’s wet.
I can feel the pre-prepared fake blood spread across my back with the sound of the gun.
“Acting shot…”
The highlight of this episode.
“Nakamura,” who I thought was a terrible villain.
In the end, Han Jehoon and Lee Hyunah were shot while escaping.
Let’s do it the way Kang Hoshin was shot.
When the atmosphere was moderately ripe, Kang Hoshin began to show his feelings and pain with his whole body.
——
I was shot.
It hurts. It really hurts.
His body kept getting hot and cold, and the place where he was shot hurt as if his skin had been torn.
Last will and testament?
How could you think of that?
It hurts so much.
All the wonderful acting of being shot by others in the play is delusional.
Thud!
My whole body loses strength and falls down. My face is stuck to the ground, but I can’t do anything.
I don’t have any strength in my arm.
I can’t even cry.
I hope this pain will stop in a second.
But I’m a little relieved.
The evil I’ve done, the hellish time when I was disgusted by it, is over now.
I felt a little better thinking about it.
“Nakamura!”
Then I heard someone calling my name. Ten minutes ago, it was a Korean who looked at me as if he wanted to kill me.
But now I felt as if I was considered a ‘colleague’.
“In many battles, no one cared about me like this…”
When I thought of that, I wanted to show something.
It’s not that you die unexpectedly, but that you die proudly.
I thought it was polite.
I tried to put on a cool smile, something I’d never done in my life.
I shouted with all my strength with my palms outstretched to say not to worry.
“It’s okay, go!”
“I can’t forgive you, but forgive me!”
But.
“—!”
I cannot speak. In the end, only an unseemly end is allowed to the gray people.
Yes. This is the death that suits me. . . .’
My eyes are blurred.
It’s finally over in this pain.

“Wow.”
“Hey, what do you think? It’s amazing. It’s no joke, right?”
Producer Na Jinho said with a reckless gesture to PD Kim Mansoo’s hypnotic admiration.
Kim Mansoo said to Na Jinho with a disappointed expression.
“Ha, ha, ha. Kang Jinseok is the actor I found. “Why did you use him like that?”
“What do you mean why, dude? It’s because a good and talented junior recommended it.”
“— But that’s me.”
“Okay, dude.”
Laughing out loud!
Na Jinho slaps Kim Mansoo’s back and smiles.
“Sigh…”
Now the two of them watched a simple edited version of “In Spring Without Flowers”.
It’s the last scene of episode 6 where Jinseok is shot.
“I thought it was good work, but this is too different.”
Although what Kim Mansoo watched was about the last 20 minutes of episode 6, he could see that “In Spring Without Flowers” was a hit.
Kim Mansoo said, looking back at the scene where Jinseok was shot.
“When did the first episode air?”
“Three weeks after your first show.”
At Na Jinho’s words, Kim Mansoo looked at the calendar and said.
“The first week of March?”
“Yes.”
“Wow, man. You’re going to be compared to a madman. Do you have to ruin your junior debut like that?”
“Hey, what’s wrong? You’re a Monday-Tuesday drama anyway, and I’m a Friday-Saturday drama.”
“But you’re going to steal all the articles!”
Na Jinho said with a smile.
“Hey. Yours came out good too. We’re compatible.”
“Ha, ha. That’s true. But this is too much.”
Kim Mansoo’s “Dream Journey to the Rise of the Sun” was also coming out very well. Filming was going faster than planned and editing was going smoothly.
“So I thought it would be the representative work of the first half of the year for our station…”
It was not even a competitor, but a competition came out on the same station.
“Is it a relief?”
As the filming got faster, the final program was moved up by two weeks.
I was forced to change it because another show fell through, but now that I think about it, I think it was a good move to move it up.
I would have been completely ruined if I had gone on schedule. “I was almost buried in Jinho’s work.”
It was lucky that it even aired two weeks early.
We have time to build up our audience.
“By the way, actor Kang Jinseok, how do you do it?”
“Why?”
“No, in your work, you die in the first episode, and in mine, you die in the middle.”
“That’s right.”
“Isn’t he the only one who dies?”
It was Na Jinho who spoke with a smile, but his voice also contained some worry.
That’s because there were actors like that.
Actors who are famous for being good at certain kinds of acting come to mind when you think of ‘that acting’.
Of course, it’s good to consolidate one’s domain like that, but it was a matter of caution that the image of a new actor would harden.
“Maybe so.”
“Well, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but…” He’s a newcomer who just made his debut.”
“That’s right. I may not be able to play other roles at all.”
What you don’t get except for a certain role.
That’s the power and fear of ‘image.
Na Jinho, organizing his thoughts, told Mansoo.
“If you hear that you have a good role later, let’s let him know. I think you should do that much.”
“—- Brother. What if a ridiculous agency like KL Entertainment comes out again?”
When Kim Mansoo spoke with a worried voice, Na Jinho smiled softly and said.
“Well, well. This time, KL Entertainment went crazy because they don’t have an agency and they’re not famous.”
“—?”
“You won’t be able to do that from now on.”
“Why?”
“I think that friend OS Group……. No! Never mind. Because it’s not safe.”
Na Jinho talked and hung up in the middle, arousing Kim Mansoo’s curiosity.
“Brother, what is it? Tell me too! Did they invest in your work because you had a connection with Kang Jinseok?”
“Hey. It’s not like that. It’s just my reasoning, so don’t think strange things for nothing.”
“No, then don’t bring it up at all! I’m curious about people!”
Na Jinho smiled and told Kim Mansoo, who was beating his chest, that he was frustrated.
“Okay, man. It’s very annoying. I’m telling you. But this is really just what I think. You’re not sure? So where can I not say it?”
“Oh, I see. Then what is it?”
“When OS Group had a meeting with a person named Chief of Staff before…”
Na Jinho slowly started to talk about what happened.
“There was an actor named Kang Jinseok on the company’s hiring list.”
“Really?”
The OS Group is trying to enter the entertainment industry and its top recruitment target is Kang Jinseok.

“Today has finally come
Today is the day of the production presentation for “Dreams of the Sun Rising”.
Although it was a small role, I was able to attend in the name of being a hot topic thanks to Min Kyungsoo and Lee Narin’s comments on The Talk Show.
“Hello! I’m Min Kyungsoo!”
“I’m Lee Na-rin.”
“I’m Park Woo Hyun!”
Next to him, the cast of Dreams of the Sun Rising greeted each other happily.
When the supporting actors finished their greetings, it was my turn.
“Go, I’m Kang Jinseok!”
He stood up stiffly and bowed deeply.
A 110-degree greeting over 100 degrees.
After a long time, he looked up and smiled as if he was cute when he saw his seniors.
After a while, the production presentation began in earnest.
“First of all, the reporters who attended the production presentation while you were busy, and the guests…”
“This is a medical drama with psychological warfare and tension between the main characters…”
“It’s a line that was directly consulted by a professor at Hankook University Hospital. –.”
As Kim Mansoo, the lead producer of the work, explained the work, the reporters started tapping on their respective laptops.
Since then, he has been talking about this and that, but I’m sorry I couldn’t hear him.
It was because I was so nervous.
Even though I was sitting at the very end, I was very nervous to be on the podium.
Maybe it’s because I’ve never been here before.
After PD Kim Mansoo’s explanation, the reporters began to ask questions in earnest.
“Minkyungsoo! Can you tell us about your role in this drama?”
“Mrs. Lee Narin! Previously, she was always the second and third generation of chaebols, but in this work, she was from an ordinary family…”
“Park Woohyun, you are overwhelmed by the new actor’s acting skills…”
The main actors were mainly asked questions because they had already said everything they wanted to know about the production.
With all the attention on the lead actor, I was a little less nervous.
Yes, who attended the production presentation?
Then a journalist stood up with his hand raised, a small but imposing journalist.
“I’m Ahn Mingu from <Entertainment Matters>! I want to interview all the actors!”
The host pointed at reporter Ahn Mingu and said.
“Yes, reporter Ahn Mingu. Say it.”
“Yes, thank you. In every work, there is always the most important person in the story. So who is the main character in this play?”
The supporting actors exchanged glances at the words of reporter Ahn Mingu, but the main actors stared calmly forward.
“The most important person?”
Min Kyungsoo is a bad doctor who pretends to be good on the outside, but is actually harsh and covers up his mistakes.
Park Woohyun, is a genius doctor whose emotions have died due to the death of his younger brother.
Lee Narin is an ordinary nurse who knows the secret behind the death of Park Woohyun’s younger brother.
It seemed that it was not easy to decide because they were the main characters who could not be left out.
“Actually, we have prepared something for this question!”
At the host’s words, the staff hurriedly came on stage with a bundle of papers and handed them out to the cast. Fortunately, my profile picture was among them.
“Please listen to the profile of ‘The most important actor in this movie’ that Ahn Mingu just said!”
If you choose another actor alone here for no reason, you might become a tactless person.
However, it was a little strange to hear all three main characters.
After thinking about it for a while, I chose Lee Narin’s profile.
“Since Lee Narin is playing the role that knows all the secrets of this drama…”
The host said, looking at the other actors who were still torn.
“Listen on the count of three!”
One, two, three!
I immediately heard Lee Narin’s profile.
“Oh my goodness.”
“I thought it was him.”
“I never imagined this!”
Click, click, click, click!
However, the camera’s flash started to explode in a completely unexpected situation.
