Chapter 38

I was a little worried when I saw Seo Inhyuk staggering to the bathroom.

Don’t bother.

In fact, I could see that Seo Inhyuk was uncomfortable with me while he was drinking.

The eyes that looked at me from the beginning were hostile, and when someone who isn’t very close to you gives you a drink, it’s one of those two things.

Either you really want to be close to them or you want to screw them.

Seo was the latter. So I scolded him with a moderate amount of alcohol.

There is no reason to avoid a fight.

It is a world these days where people rush more, thinking that they are weak if they avoid it.

“That’s true, but…”

After thinking for a while, I got up from my seat and followed Seo Inhyuk.

He’s an ugly guy, but isn’t his famous name ‘Dongki’?

He brought it on himself, but he couldn’t let someone who was so drunk go alone anyway.

When I came out, I could see the back of Seo Inhyuk’s head from a distance.

But the problem is that Seo Inhyuk is surrounded by people.

“You should apologize if you bumped into me, why are you looking at me like that?”

“Sin, sorry.”

“What? Say something, dude!”

As expected, bad premonitions have never been wrong.

Still, I think I arrived before something big happened, so it would be a relief if it was a relief.

I watched the flow and broke through the crowd.

“I’m sorry. I’ll pass by.”

Seo Inhyuk looked back at me with tearful eyes as if he heard my voice.

After smiling slightly and telling Seo Inhyuk not to worry, he said to the muscle pig.

“Ha ha, ha ha. I think my friend made a mistake because he drank a lot. I apologize instead.”

I wanted to resolve the matter smoothly, so I spoke politely.

But the muscle pig didn’t seem to have any intention of doing so.

“What? Apples instead because you’re really? Ha, me. You really are. What movie are you making?”

“—.”

“Once you get out of bread, you’re like a beggar…”

“If it’s bread, are you talking about prison?”

I don’t think this is something to be proud of.

While looking at the muscle pig pitifully, the muscle pig threw Seo Inhyuk and yelled.

“I’ll help you soon, so stay still.”

Thud!

“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”

Seo Inhyuk groaned in pain, whether because he was sick or ashamed.

“Do I have to do this?”

Then the muscle pig grabbed me by the collar this time.

“The baby that lost his head. Do you know who I am?!”

The atmosphere had become much more violent than before, and I could hear the onlookers swallowing their saliva as well.

I wasn’t really impressed as a party.

That’s because compared to the “Catch the Neck” the warehouse guys taught me self-defense, this was cute.

—- You don’t grab it by the neck like that.

There seemed to be no strength in the back or lower body. I didn’t feel any threat to the crude level that only gave me strength in my hand.

Besides, I was angry.

Right now, this muscle pig is holding onto the clothes. Because it was a pretty precious dress for me.

When I got into college, the boys said, “Jinseok, you should get married with a girlfriend! They bought him a department store card saying, “Men are clothes!”

It’s not a very expensive piece of clothing, but it’s definitely not something that a pathetic guy would touch carelessly.

“This is not something you would touch carelessly.”

The muscle pig grabbed his wrist.

“Take your hands off.”

“What, what? Take your hands off? Hey, Dorai, what is this?”

Finally, as Uncle Park Chunsam told me, he grabbed the part sticking out of the wrist bone.

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Then the muscle pig crossed his body and fell to his knees, spitting out words one by one to the panicked voices of the onlookers.

” Huh, what?

“I think you just caught something”

“What’s wrong with him?”

I pretended to be calm but to be honest, I was a little surprised.

Park Chunsam said, “If someone grabs you by the collar, use it. I didn’t know that the technique he taught me with a big smile would be so effective.

“I forgot because he’s always playful…”

Suddenly, I remembered Uncle Park Chunsam’s identity.

Park Chunsam, age unknown.

Former homicide detective, now a chocolate bar thief at the Seongsu warehouse.

“I should thank him next time.”

“Wake up.”

The people around me looked at me in amazement as if I were a hero.

I felt a little uncomfortable, but I told Seo Inhyuk as if it wasn’t a big deal.

“Let’s go get a hangover.”

***

The muscle pig ran away and Jinseok took Seo Inhyuk to the grocery store.

This was because Seo Inhyuk’s eyes were swollen to return to the welcome party immediately.

“Here, ready.”

“What is this?”

Seo Inhyuk asked with a nasal voice.

“Special hangover ramen, taught by the men I work with at my part-time job. It guarantees both taste and calories. If you eat it, you can get up to 2 kilograms a day in no time.

Seo Inhyuk laughed in amazement when he saw the cup noodles, which cost 15,000 won just for the ingredients.

“If you’re in such good shape eating something like that…” “How long do you exercise?”

“Exercise?”

“Yes. Since you were playing with that pig earlier, I think you do it a lot.”

“What about exercise?” I guess I gained some strength just by working hard.”

“Working hard? Do you work hard?”

Seo Inhyuk asked in a slightly surprised voice.

Jinseok replied in a calm voice.

“Uh. If you work hard, you can get real muscles that you can’t get by exercising. That’s the secret of strength…”

“—.”

“Isn’t it fun?”

“Yes.”

“— I’m sorry. Let’s eat before it gets cold.”

Seo Inhyuk nodded slightly and ate ramen.

“It’s delicious.”

After making an open impression, Seo Inhyuk asked.

“Why did you help me?”

Jinseok blew and cooled down the ramen, swallowed it, and replied.

“Why are you helping me?”

“— Are you nice or stupid?”

“—.”

“You somehow noticed. That I was trying to screw you up. No.

“How can you not know? I’m trying to give you a drink by making it so obvious.”

Jinseok took a smoked egg out of the ramen and put it in his mouth.

“I heard what the kids said earlier, and you’re pretty famous too, so it would be a big deal if you got into trouble. With the school or with you.”

“—.”

“And I told you earlier. I helped you because you are a friend from the same department. That’s all.”

After that, Jinseok drank the soup.

Seo Inhyuk looked at the scene and thought.

“You helped me because I was in the same department?”

Seo Inhyuk was embarrassed by Jinseok’s action of helping him without thinking, even though he knew everything.

So I tried to apologize.

With the words of thanks for your help.

“Until the end, you unlucky boy.”

In the end, it was Seo Inhyuk who was not honest.

***

I tried to act like an ordinary college student, but when “Spring Without Flowers” became a hot topic, more and more people recognized it.

When I went to a restaurant to eat.

“Hey, it’s Nakamura.”

“Crazy. Crazy.”

“Hey, can I eat next to you?”

When I go to the library to study.

“Student, I’m sorry. Please leave.”

“What? Did I do something wrong?”

“No, it’s not that. There are so many other students walking around to see you. It’s too noisy.”

“Oh, my.”

When I go into the classroom.

“You’re good at acting and you have a good attitude to listen to lectures.”

“—- Thank you.”

“You can make good eye contact with me even when you sit behind me. We can see each other better if we sit in front of each other. Hahaha!! Is my lecture so useful?”

“Ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha.”

Since that day, Seo Inhyuk and I have become quite close.

When we run into each other, He asks me how I am, “Have you eaten?” and if I say I haven’t, we go to the restaurant together.

For a while, I reminisced about those quiet days and searched for “Weekly Drama Ratings” on my phone.

“Wow.”

“In Spring Without Flowers” was completely overwhelming, “A Hard Written Poem.

During the fourth episode, it maintained an average audience rating of 19% and ranked first in replay and Internet viewing.

It is quite popular at this time when over-the-air dramas are facing a crisis due to the growth of cable TV.

Therefore, of course, drama-related articles were plastered with <In Spring Without Flowers>.

[High ratings for “Spring Without Flowers”]

[If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s a drama you should watch]. In “Spring Without Flowers”]

[BDD’s ratings for other dramas have increased day by day].

They were all nice knights. The only works I appeared in were the acclaimed articles.

Some articles were recorded and saved.

“And…”

Not long after the fourth episode aired, there were some really important articles.

[Nakamura’s true intention].

[Nakamura Became a Charming Villain]

[Kang Jinseok Nakamura, the new actor’s acting]

[The traitor Nakamura]. Where is he going?]

Among these articles, the one that bothers me the most is …….

[Betrayer Nakamura]. It was an article about his future articles.

Won’t Nakamura die?

If Nakamura dies, the BDD website will be a real terror. Anonymous exists.

Would Jo Seokwon kill Nakamura without knowing it?

I’m from the future, Nakamura is porridge… Oh my God!

I was so sad to die in my dream. I hope I can live for a long time this time.

Is Nakamura Hat even in your dreams?

HJ: Yes.

Half of them wish “Nakamura”, who changed from a villain to a helper, well.

Honestly, I don’t know who the main character is.

I’m good at acting, but I can’t help but die.

Lee X Chi also died for SARSX, and Lee X Maru Gindorangiku died for Rangiku.

What is this, ? Duck?

Half of the audience said that I should leave beautifully for work.

“More than I thought…” There are so many people watching.

I didn’t know when I was filming, but when I saw so many articles and comments, I realized it.

Then, all of a sudden, countless Kakao Talk messages poured in.

– 22nd grade Woo Hyungseok: Jinseok! Have you seen the news? Is Nakamura really going to die?

Kim Soochul, Class 22: Just be honest with me. Are you going to die? Are you going to live?

-Yeonsoo: Oppa!! You can’t die! But death? Just tell me.

-President Park Hyungjoo: Hey, Jinseok. Your acting is crazy. By the way. Are you going to die?

-Seoyeon: Are you looking for Kang Jinseok?

BDD station, conference room in “In Spring Without Flowers

It was way past the time to leave work, but no one left the team for “In Spring Without Flowers”.

The reason, of course, was Nakamura.

“What should I do?”

“I want to save Nakamura, but when I see the edited version, I can’t…”

The staff spoke with a voice filled with anguish. But their faces were very cheerful.

Aside from the good ratings, it was breaking records every day.

Now they were thinking about whether to save Nakamura in Episode 7.

Producer Na Jinho, who was agonizing with his team members, scratched his head and muttered.

“This is driving me crazy. This has to die, this has to die! How can you save it?”

Writer Jo Seokwon, who was agonizing like Na Jinho, sighed and asked.

“Sigh, PD. Will you be able to save it again over there?”

“Half and half. No, there will be more reactions that it is forced. Everyone would think he was shot.”

“Whoa, whoa, whoa. It’s also a problem to act too good.”

Jo Seokwon sighed again at Na Jinho’s words. Then I put two similar-looking scripts on my desk.

Na Jinho knows what this script is.

One is a scenario where Nakamura dies. The other one is a living scenario.

These scripts have been read dozens of times in advance. Both were interesting to evaluate from the point of view of having read both.

The ending was similar. It is a happy ending with the main characters living peacefully in Joseon where they were liberated.

The same goes for Nakamura. He doesn’t marry someone like the main characters, but he lives happily with other Koreans.

Of course, that was when Nakamura was alive.

At that time, a staff member said.

“Producer, any further delay may disrupt the shooting.”

“I know! That’s why we killed him? To save me?”

“That, that, that.”

It was a really important point, but it didn’t help at all in the current situation.

The more you think about it, the more the conference room comes back to square one.

At that moment, the door of the conference room burst open and Director Choi Hoon came in.

“Oh, Commissioner! Please decide. Save it.

While Na Jinho was talking with a beaming face, he stopped talking and said to Director Choi Hoon.

“Hey, you guys! Are you going to kill me? Are you going to save me? The boss told me to hurry up and decide!”

Then I immediately told Na Jinho.

“Hey, Jinho. You have to make a good decision. For your information, the boss checked the final version and said, ‘Kill him.

“Then I’ll kill him. What the boss says is the law. —-.”

“But the boss said it again. My wife wants to keep seeing Nakamura.”

“—.”

“Boss, you know you’re being held by your wife, right?”

“—.”

“Just mention it. Please take note.”

At Choi Hoon’s words, Na Jinho threw a pen on the laptop screen.

Let’s do it!

“Oh my God! What should I do then?”

“Hey, why are you mad at me? It’s all because you’re such a good artist!”

“It’s my fault?!”

“Then it’s my fault?! You did it all!”

It was a friendly meeting disguised as a fight, but it was not easy to make important decisions.

Meanwhile, night had fallen, and the clock showed three in the morning.

As time passed, the playfulness in the conference room disappeared, leaving only silence.

It was an employee who broke the long silence.

“Producer, why don’t you shoot two versions and check the ratings and reactions for episode 6?”

At the employee’s words, writer Jo Seokwon touched his neck and said.

“Producer. Is this opinion realistically possible? I think it would be nice if it were possible.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa. That’s impossible. We started shooting on the premise that we could change the script, right? I can’t afford to do two versions. And…”

“You died so well.”

“Yes. I died that way, but I can’t think of a direction to save it. The viewers won’t understand it either.”

Producer Na Jinho’s voice is still full of worry.

At that time, director Choi Hoon, who drank six cups of coffee, said.

“Hey, I can’t help it. Let’s do it. –.”

Everyone looked at Choi Hoon.
