Chapter 55
The next day.
Seoyeon quickly went to school forgetting about attending the convenience store which had become her daily routine.
She went ahead and planned to sneakily ask Jiyeon Lee if what she saw yesterday was true.
She said “Oh Ji-yeon is late this morning because of filming….”
It was like that.
Seoyeon closed her eyes tightly.
If she thought about it Jiyeon was also busy.
She was also appearing in a drama and her popularity was gradually increasing so it seems she also got a commercial.
She said ‘Besides it seems like she became close to producer Jeong Min-jae after <Looking Back at Past Memories>.’
She is Lee Ji-yeon and unlike herself her communication skills are excellent.
The reason she became a popular YouTuber in a short period of time in her past life is probably because of her abilities.
“…Yeah tell me later when Jiyeon comes.”
Seoyeon said that turned her body around and walked away.
Thanks to this the girl in Jiyeon’s class who she called Seoyeon suddenly became the center of attention.
“Why are you saying this?”
“This is my first time seeing her up close and her face is really small. “Is that a celebrity?”
“If you look at things like this Jiyeon is also a celebrity.”
The students had a long conversation saying those things.
In fact they were friends who were so familiar that I had forgotten about them but now there are more people who know Jiyeon than Seoyeon because she has been in the entertainment industry longer.
There are things you don’t know just because you’re so close.
This is because she was so shocked by the recent filming of <Looking Back at Past Memories>.
“I want to talk to you too….”
“It’s a little scary.”
There is a saying that if you are too pretty you are scary.
Seoyeon suited those words perfectly.
I don’t know if she smiles a little but Seoyeon has a constant expressionless expression.
Although she didn’t really mean to she tended to leave a chilling impression on her students.
If she had heard of Jiyeon she would have said ‘It’s nice if she smiles like she does when she goes to the convenience store.’ But here she was not Jiyeon.
She then went to 5th period physical education in the afternoon.
During the joint physical education class with the class next to her Seoyeon could barely see Jiyeon.
“Do your best to avoid it. “Be careful not to get hurt.”
As always her gym class is dodgeball.
In fact it was almost like self-studying for dodgeball.
She wondered how many students actually played dodgeball but surprisingly since dodgeball was included in the sports competition there were some who worked quite hard.
In any case because the school focused on arts and physical education there were many students who were confident in sports.
‘I want to talk.’
Seo-yeon fell into deep trouble after accidentally getting caught in a dodgeball game with the class next to her while snooping nearby.
She saw Jiyeon standing there with a tired face.
Perhaps because she had finished filming in the morning her complexion was noticeable looking very tired.
Across from Seoyeon a female student in Jiyeon’s class looked at her with sharp eyes.
‘Joo Seo-yeon.’
Even though she is surrounded by other female students her appearance shines.
Should she really be an actress?
‘but.’
Her female student grabbed her dodgeball ball tightly in her hand.
Yeonhwa High School’s dodgeball team is a powerhouse that always ranks in the top four at national sports competitions.
Although she was a candidate she was definitely a player on the dodgeball team.
‘I’ll give you a proper punch.’
She was never petty jealous or anything like that.
No really.
It’s just that she stands out a little too much or I don’t like Seoyeon monopolizing the attention of male students.
It seems like my favorite dodgeball club senior has a crush on Seoyeon.
Etc. That’s definitely not the reason!
‘This is the time.’
At this time Seoyeon is watching her Jiyeon.
Her sorority arm moved.
“Haaap!!”
A pitch thrown with all one’s might.
The ball flew fiercely at Seo-yeon who was looking elsewhere.
widely
“?”
It was so easily caught in Seoyeon’s one hand.
It didn’t bounce she just caught it with one hand.
I could see that the ball was dented in the shape of her fingers.
‘Your hands won’t be that big right?’
Why did I catch that?
How strong is your grip?
No you haven’t even seen this one before.
The moment you think like that.
phut!!
“evil!!”
The female student fell when the dodgeball ball returned in an instant and hit her in the lower back.
It was impossible for her to avoid let alone catch the restraints that she couldn’t even see properly.
How did Jiyeon feel after seeing that?
‘…That girl is starting again.’
I guessed three at once and saw Seoyeon’s proud face.
Although it seemed like a calm face to others Jiyeon could tell.
“joy.”
Right now Seoyeon is completely intoxicated with her own brilliant dodgeball play.
It was clear she had something to say but she changed from the moment she threw the ball.
To be exact the surrounding female students came! From the moment I applauded.
“abstention.”
“Eck.”
So Jiyeon calmly abstained.
Because if you get hit by a ball that Seoyeon throws it hurts a lot.
***
“Anyway have you decided to film a movie?”
“huh.”
While Seoyeon’s group took a break from her dodgeball game the two sat side by side and had a conversation.
‘Aren’t you just playing the villain too much?’
Seoyeon was kissing her lips again and again as she looked at Jiyeon who was speechless and thinking about such things.
She opened up about her YouTube channel and said it wasn’t easy.
It would be okay to just ask outright.
‘Red pill!’
Seoyeon chewed her lower lip.
If you ask her that question here she will take the red pill herself.
No if she was delayed she would be the blue pill but she left it because she wasn’t even sure if she really created the channel for a virtuber.
When Seoyeon’s eyes were moving here and there she lost her senses.
“And speaking of entertainment.”
Jiyeon spoke faster than Seoyeon opened her mouth.
“How about cable entertainment?”
“cable?”
“There’s nothing right now about broadcasting entertainment and it’s a bit burdensome right?”
<Looking Back at Past Memories> was definitely a public broadcast entertainment show.
The viewer ratings were so low that it was similar to cable entertainment.
Seoyeon’s current level of recognition is as a child actor who returned after 10 years.
A hot potato that has recently become a hot topic on entertainment shows.
If she wanted she could definitely appear on public television… but honestly she felt burdened because she had never appeared on a proper entertainment show before.
<Looking Back at Past Memories> felt closer to a play than an entertainment show.
‘Cable entertainment.’
Seoyeon also had a few things that came to mind.
However cable entertainment also had a strong tendency to be high-level or a little raw.
Also I don’t know if it helps neutralize the villain image…
“ah.”
While Seoyeon was thinking about that one thing came to mind.
‘I guess it hasn’t ended yet?’
If you think about it there was a cable entertainment show that ended around this time.
Among cable entertainment shows it was a rare show that could have an impact on the actor’s image.
Because it was an entertainment show that was often mentioned in the community.
“Then there is one thing that comes to mind….”
Let’s talk to Jiyeon to see if it’s okay.
“…what?”
The gaze returned asking if he was serious.
Well it was worth it.
The cable entertainment show that Seoyeon said she wanted to appear on was a long-running entertainment show that aired on a cable game station for 10 years.
***
After confirming my appearance in <The Chaser> I completed my plans with my agency in earnest.
Nova Entertainment.
The agency I will be working for in the future.
Let’s let out a nervous sigh as she goes out with her mother for the first time in a long time.
“By the way how is Seoyeon’s mother? “I think it has real potential.”
“oh.”
Likewise her mother laughed as if she was embarrassed at the words of CEO Kang Chan-yul who came to see my contract in person.
…This must be a joke right?
I looked at him with that feeling but surprisingly CEO Kang Chan-yul had a serious face.
‘My mom is a bit young though.’
Seoyeon glanced at Suah’s face and lowered her gaze.
It was there still having a big presence.
Seoyeon lowered her gaze again.
This time I mainly focused on myself.
It didn’t really mean anything.
It really didn’t mean much.
‘…Does it get bigger from here?’
Is it because it’s in your mother’s blood?
I think she’s good enough now but she’s a little too big for her mom.
She honestly felt like she would be uncomfortable while acting.
“Sorry I’m busy with housework.”
“It’s really unfortunate.”
Kang Chan-yul had a truly sad face.
It was worth it because mother Su-ah’s appearance was uncanny.
She wondered if that was the appearance and body of a woman in her forties.
How dare an actress passing by ask you what cosmetics you use?
Anyway being a celebrity is too much for her mom.
Regardless of her appearance she is the type of person who has a hard time getting along with others.
Unlike me.
“So did you make many friends at school? Oh of course except for Jiyeon.”
“….”
“hmm? “Why is there something wrong with my school life?”
I was silenced by the sharp dagger that suddenly flew at me.
It was as if he read my thoughts.
“I can’t count them all on both hands.”
“indeed.”
Excluding Jiyeon Lee it was a handful of untrue facts.
Kang Chan-yul nodded probably thinking that my school life was no problem.
“We fall out often but it’s important to maintain a smooth relationship. “You know?”
“yes.”
“If my friends want to come later I tell them in advance. “You’re students so you probably want to see celebrities too right?”
“That’s right. I’ll bring them all next time. please.”
What should I do?
I smiled dryly and pondered.
Is it fortunate that the period is not set?
“then. “The contract is over and this is Manager Park Eun-ha who will be in charge of Seo-yeon from now on.”
He probably thought the conversation was over so he introduced me to the woman next to him.
She was a good-looking woman who seemed to be around her late twenties but she seemed quite stiff.
“She was originally in charge of actor Hwang Min-hwa so she doesn’t know much about the industry so if she has any questions she asks.”
“yes.”
I answered like that and looked at Eunha Park’s face.
If she was the manager in charge of actor Hwang Min-hwa it was clear that she cared a lot about me.
At the same time there was something puzzling about it.
‘Are you getting ready to leave already?’
In general managers in charge do not change very often unless there are special cases.
This is because we work together on a daily basis so once we work together there are risks when we change things in various ways.
In addition he seemed too nervous to be the manager of Hwang Min-hwa who is a great actor in his own right.
‘…I’ll have to find out later.’
There may have been several things that led to actor Hwang Min-hwa’s transfer.
If you think about it it is also an unusual case for Nova Entertainment to let go of Hwang Min-hwa a popular actor.
That’s because there are usually no cases where a star celebrity is handed over to another agency.
‘hmm.’
I felt there was something to this miracle.
Of course there was nothing I could know so I decided to wait and see what happened first.
It was clear that if there was a problem it would soon surface anyway.
And two days later.
“Well everyone is here right?”
Director Bae Jin-hwan smiled as he looked at the assembled actors.
A very satisfied face.
In particular the eyes looking at me were filled with strong anticipation.
“Okay then let’s get started.”
Movie <The Chaser>.
An ill-fated film that ended with a total audience of 2.5 million.
Its full-scale filming has begun.
