Chapter 8: Baekwon
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGSeCY82l8
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tdkTJCNPy
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdrRavnkeK
"What is this? Why are you two here?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9bGCdJsfp
Following Myeongshin's bright voice, Hansoo's voice rang out.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuTArqhYP3
"It's my right to be here. Is there a problem?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEmyT44x8h
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbAtUw0IFy
"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?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2T80rWRq6R
The manager stepped in front of Hansoo, agitated by that statement and frowned.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcShDEEuBK
"Yoohan, what are you saying? Hansoo..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVPbIGGrvO
"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."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwJK02DnAy
Hansoo's face turned red as if offended by Myeongshin's outburst.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPobHQZfaOi
"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!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLZdwtzgKL
Hansoo's next words about my story made me no longer able to listen calmly.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NY1hy0OPR
"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!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1h6y2hcTXY
Are you sure you're talking about me?
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEqvbWQWVq
"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!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11vlm7nOjH
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7NvGTR1lI
Boom!
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqDz4LGvxy
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuxnB2K1Vh
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9FZLLkaJ8
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 .
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlYaY2ycu7
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLRxPRIb7a
"....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."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyxmmZVQBR
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTCvCiNUBv
"Who's there?!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZpS1XFLsy
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLtNkzPmug
Clack clack.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYEQh0KV37
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjaBhFjptB
"I said who's there?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUHN6DMUtd
The high-pitched voice came closer and closer.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTC370L6wM
"Do you think I can't tell you're hiding there?!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Wz1m9EumG
....Just like this, I'm....
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDguJ7JO5AI
"Who's hiding from you?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIofKu7IGP
"Huh?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyBZ8bhgaU
My body that was trembling from the situation was suddenly stiffened by another voice interjecting.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUslmQ0dnQ8
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPavjDFs9fG
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyQlFfJG1D
"Huh! Let me apologize."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckAi9mOmWJ
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiq7uVQ59hy
"I heard a noise so I thought someone was eavesdropping on my call. I didn't know it was Mr. Yoon."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnxGQewxVu
"Where do you think this is?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELlxyl3VLh
A soft voice interrupted Myeongshin.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7ICntJHKS
The familiar slow melody flows into my ears. I forgot about hiding and poked my head out again.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziscuOQDSb
"Is it your personal space?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q2YCA7dhd
"No…."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3w8GFoHgS
"And that call wasn't interesting enough to be eavesdropped on."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGaSfWaj2V6
That means he heard it all too. He has a thick face to add.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHyIAyhvwG
"Just some gossip about stepping on someone new."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡktcRtoFFFN
A reluctant smile appeared on Myeongshin's face.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vJOUIvQpM
"You really haven't heard it all right?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAHSZ5dpmc
"Cigarettes."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIqWnQ7rW8
"Yes? Ah, you said you wanted to smoke a cigarette alone."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnrGvDghDR
Myeongshin couldn't help but step back, he pursed his lips.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMrNdSqx8d
"Next time please let me smoke with you."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg1yz57ME7
When Myeongshin talked with sparkling eyes, the other side also rolled their eyes and smiled back.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcy9wdKAJW
"I don't like it."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClrsmQBW3k
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fOa1FWzbs
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeKH1Gtdtzq
However, the wish could not come true.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWjm4JeIza
"Baekwon….haven't you come out already?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQ4PDJVgCN
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SA7HuIOIQ
At least he must be much more powerful than an artist....Perhaps because I met him for the second time, I felt more familiar.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmiYJfPr79
"Is it Song Yoohan? The object of your revenge?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJtCGFgdVk
Unfortunately, it's not just the face that I feel familiar from the second meeting....have I met him somewhere before?......
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndhsxjny4g
"I'm asking if it's Song Yoohan, Baekwon."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXbSjy0VRO
This baekwon nickname….annoys me more than he knows Myeongshin is the object of my revenge.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUvqxrEOXK
I was about to swear, but found it too trivial and not enough to release all the frustration in my body. A stronger curse.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGojdjhM6Nb
Ah, yes.....Hansoo's American curse words.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhR4Y5XQMg
"You don't have to know….Psychopath."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdy9LX00JN8
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyV8RePBcOk
What?.....He's back to normal, but I'm sure he was taken aback by my swearing....His next words upset me even more.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8FQulKxq9
"Well….I do hear that from time to time."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5utZBYYPNk
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMf4K4zcbS
"So it is Song Yoohan and that's why You chased him all the way here."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydXBD6dfi4
"How do you know?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY7u3CV6C4
"Because I chased you."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJUDfVNcVu
He has no shame….
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYW9xGZKx4r
With a cigarette in his mouth his head turned to one side.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ6Jef1u1b
"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."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhmqSyTgRm
The corners of his eyes were curved up, and his eyes were looking towards my back pocket as if I can see the knife.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMe2uwLetu
"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."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLS6Sbgx3e
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuaA6mALpXv
"That's right. There's no chance for me."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGDhSC62D0
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBNh0K4C2f
"No special looks, nor natural talent for an actor who wants revenge?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptbpj1O0Ga
"None of your business."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAbmAoF0L7
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLEVr0URdp
"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."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1rsmcPoGL
At the same time, he scanned my body from top to bottom.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qFnqkYrY0
"Relying only on yourself?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gOhJpL6D0
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vHoM9tnpW
"I know. I'm in control of myself."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Gon3bSvtS
I replied calmly, he replied immediately.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvwiCtLdkn
"Yes, that's it."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK3Rseux6W
He took a swig of the flaming cigarette into his mouth and blew out a puff of white smoke.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPQ7Loptzc
"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?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDJIEWUVAE
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLzNSHu5ZB
"You, actually...."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjkBVbUCNQ
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…
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhAd6Y3gLBN
"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?”
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdWiSsAKv9
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 ?
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTYNl72X4z
"....Taemin?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFhRPvrc02
I turned my head to look at the hand shaking my shoulder, the manager and Hansoo were staring at me.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea6iB4NcAb
"How are you? What happened??! Suddenly for you to come back with this serious face?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHkrazU4Wh
"Manager"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG4m8a6MZT
"Hmm?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOQ6yfjeE5
"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?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkXIcelj3w
There's no point in knowing his name. It's a mistake anyway.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLINB3ZXl8j
"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"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV74tnmQ6SM
.....I have nothing to worry about anyway.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmrmXjWRiZ
"In addition, it is necessary to supplement your resume, past activities such as your education level, for example."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ir8DXFHy2
The more he talked the more quietly, the manager glancing at the knife in my back pocket with concern.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefi2pRCS1J
"Hmm, I was just asking just in case. Taemin, did you do something bad in the past...."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQu1wp5Kr0
"Don't worry. I'm not an ex-convict"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RxUoLoxzh
"R-right?...I knew it….Hahaha."
Manager said in unsettling laugh.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfThpjOAMdw
"I only had to go to the police station a few times."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCsJJOz7ch
Their expressions suddenly stiffened....Why are they so surprised? Looking back and forth between the two of them for a while, I asked softly.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHjuPVeezX
"Haven't the two of you ever been taken to the police station in your life?”
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC2dp3kgYV
"......."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQFJWtgYOf
"......."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErAowzRVPb
I couldn't understand the silence between the two, so I could only watch, Hansoo opened his mouth for the manager.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMtbd5aGfW
"Well then, I'm just asking. High school....Did you graduate?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N1lJmhDvQ
"No. I was expelled when I first entered the school."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjArgibNRTD
The manager's eyebrows twitched wildly.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0GKIVDQ4w
"So you worked hard to earn money to buy medicine for your sick mother after being expelled from school...."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43zYXfExiA
"I rode my motorbike and robbed the boys."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bz8x5uQ32
Somehow the expressions on the two's faces looked so pale…..Are they hungry? I thought about it and told them my only weakness.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU4S60Pwmy
"So, I'm a bit ignorant. Especially in English."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIolh7KbJ3X
The faces of the two of them were so white that it made me a little nervous, the manager opened his mouth to speak.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSShxdw5HCs
"....Well...from now on we're gonna leave everything about you to god and hope for the best....."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYxnwFjX9i
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26ffrNKnZS
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgGk8gECs4
"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?!!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbAf0fzAek
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhq9szKQED
[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…]
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNebI0uvAeb
"All the photographers and makeup team? Including Mr. Park??"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RvKpFXsPh
[Yes , including Mr.Park and the makeup team...received a text message this morning telling them to keep the office for a few days.]
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdwGZbocnp
"!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdZzM4GulC
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSPWAj7wrK
[I don't know either, I heard that Mr. Song Yoohan needs to take an outdoor pictorial urgently....]
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfZZECWHwo
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...
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZFJcPbefM
Tut. Tut. Tut....
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjAKHd6Fy6
"I'm sorry....It seems Myeongshin is interfering with your work because of me..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AiLd89NaV
"......."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcnuQAUOTV
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvr7JIP3Bys
Why should he apologize? It's just a photo shoot, right?
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡacxfhIYCoZ
"Can we take pictures elsewhere?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRqewoeAcI
Immediately, the manager's face was a little embarrassed when asked.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2UEvWNTtv
"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...."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjE1c1boBL
"......"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh71KAkZRae
"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."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5XhI2wiV0
"......."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBH2Lz6OakD
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMee3V1SaWF
"Taemin, go back first today, let see them again the day after tomorrow"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZYpPrqmOJ
"......."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa2m6T4IFP
"Will the day after tomorrow be ok?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnpq4oucbi
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 .
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdPoloJLxX
[This…..He also told me not to accept reservations because the schedule is already full until the end of the month.]
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Er7s7LkeC
"Huh? Ha, what about us...."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fqFW70EBb
The manager unconsciously raised his voice but then lowered his voice, he knew that this girl over the phone was not at fault.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcaIO3LCwh
"Please choose a date in advance. We can arrive early in the morning....."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhco1eNgVin
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobusSGqpE5
"That's surprising, isn't it? Hahahaha….this job is always in trouble, things like this happen every day."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvTIGF0mgv
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTjlrFB5rO
"I have already prepared your upcoming schedule."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEDG51oU34
On the piece of paper he gave, all day was practice.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WRbsgpgjE
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD5anpf7Le
"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."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEBQcEqY2i
"......."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINbClnKgY0
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7ND9wJsk6
"…..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...."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaM1g17GHU
The manager who was still raising his voice suddenly fell silent. When I suspected he might have stopped breathing, he exhaled and whispered.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu4yQ7K1ta
".....Is it Song Yoohan? That brat…..Hello? Hello!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE6Rwib6hI
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7ktLV9Bfn
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzticOCTPZ3
"Taemin-ah, I'm really sorry. That's….That's..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr40psGusMm
He said something else, but at that moment I couldn't hear anything more.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHk8ffNJ2Jg
I have no power at all.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWVKc8tjof
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB9VLnDnsWl
That psychopath.......he was right.....
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpscQ1KuaiT
What can be done by relying on myself alone? Without any further consideration, I must seize this opportunity.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkPU5yeFEo
No matter how crazy an opportunity it may be.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSYABUHqZi
"Let's go back to the company first..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVHYrkXchD
Rustling.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9mWIIYmFd
I grabbed the manager's arm and interrupted him. Then he turned around and asked me what was wrong.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOsq2W138j
"He's going to be disappointed."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIoKjUX3n7
What's the point of disappointment? Who? I only replied with one name.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvucq92l66
"Song Myeongshin."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YIzPyzmyL
"What are you talking about?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeRR9x5saC
Followed by a series of silly words, then I asked another question.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfVRNU6TFT
"What do you think of me?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pLN9qPHyf
"Huh? What?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRQtbx3nGk
"Do you find me interesting?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOav9KGsH8q
"Well...instead of saying are you interesting, sometimes I just want to punch you."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfplouvziIj
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbMK4BYxeG
[Madman]
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0kpvTmmpS
Ring.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXM2RUpx48
After a moment, a familiar soft sound came through the phone.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnAR3KgiPk
[What's up]
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR9wSELPez
"I'll give it to you."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN78EobCGyd
[......]
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnVesO6QXK
I felt the puzzled look of the manager beside me, calmly adding when there was still no response on the other line.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD9VFJrotQ
"So give me the deposit first."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVPpA4OayW
After a while, I heard a low chuckle along with a question .
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOwTFrMlBK
[What do I gain by having you?]
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv6xRkdvzL
“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.”
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRk9o6qWmUD
Click. Vroom.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOie1tPjUD
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqEiFCG9rG
"Who was that?....After all, who did you say to give what?....What else is there to deposit?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrsLcg92ie
I know it would be bad to be rude to the other person, but I had to ask another question to avoid answering him.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBKjRYIVLR
"Who do you think is the best?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYsNh55XQs4
"What is the best?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdbeiKI4oC
"To take pictures."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYR4Xzy2xv
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfZKKwZwxq
"Someone agreed to help."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk3CHsz3ZD
"Who?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4bKD51N6L
When I heard that, I remembered that I didn't even know his name.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqGV6kmKIT
"I don't know.”
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQCdBsLaOk
The manager’s expression cracked a little when he heard my sincere answer.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5g5jethQf
"You...don't know?....Are you kidding?..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01brRGbrQ0
" I really don't know....But I do know one thing."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJTCvZtoOJ
"What?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwLNGwlLIB
I opened my mouth to speak as soon as he asked back.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xKb8oJs6H
"He is more powerful than Myeongshin "
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosdywMJuSs
"......."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwqh95bCiY
"So who is the best photographer?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZsi9UQ4lz3
"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?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbunyga3AR6
"I saw Myeongshin crouch in front of him."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IQiaOmOIo
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHq3e4WDI6
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpj4ruT4rRl
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAK2EQhc3B
"Just because of that...you asked some stranger that you don't even know?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zWZ1D6f3G
"Yes."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ad0o43jQc
He didn't know what to say and just looked at me silently, then mumbled in a low voice.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMLlbY0DUJ
"Seems like you're just living off of your instincts."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbidQDJSc2s
Is it that obvious? After all, everyone lives by instinct. I wanted to talk to the manager but stopped.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzpk9NCKOa
"But what if that person is a dangerous person? Besides, if he asks you to do weird things, what should you do?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsblLIq2jdM
The manager did not understand why he hesitated a bit, then calmly expressed his point of view.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGdR0wm6Wn
"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."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEG6PGu1iD
"Manager….then would it be better if I let the month pass by with our hands tied just like this because of Myeongshin?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRWXnaJszw
"...That's..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpm9obW8Px
"Do you think I look like someone who is easily fooled?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3IPCf8FnD
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOezea9Zzma
"No."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52z6iDQNbX
"Then just hand it over to me and let's go."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH9ydYcmBV
"Okay...."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnzTsU1yap
Manager answered and started the car. Suddenly he turned to look at me.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhY2pcXK6g
"But where are we going now?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTzP4JKF9u
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrHIeORiEg
"The photographer does not have any photo shoot today...We have not received any appointment from Dream."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkra9mD72c
Inside a single young man working at the computer desk was rummaging through a sealed notebook schedule and awkward reply.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9qyIZtlFQ
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BwTRDxdRb
"That person said he would help you, right?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0Y1fGeCUI
I nodded dejectedly in response....
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOho33jbrzf
"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."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRhYp8L1WG
"He’s busy upstairs....So I was told not to disturb him today...."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvrgkgAEnq
"Well, then just call him down, okay? We have a good reason....Anyway, don't worry, just try calling."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrqAUOCtXd
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDQWHgIo88
"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."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuCDKLEHLi
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYADt7qGmh
"He said he would come down soon. But....he is very angry."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj2nk72bnh
"Huh? Angry?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2F7LIkpbTP
Stunned, the manager checked my expressionless face again, and gave me a wry smile
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqidYTV0hWy
"Looks like Mr. Lee still hasn't received the contact....Don't worry....I'll definitely call you soon."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80nygn1gb2
"Call who?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlddFPFeDS
"Ah , it was…"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oh83RBQJ0
The manager glanced at me again and whispered to me in a low voice so that the young man could not hear.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklgb57mNWM
"Hmm, it's not that I doubt you, but are you sure ? "
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxUAcE8U8x
"For now please believe me. So Mr. Lee will definitely take the picture."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6coDxymoV7
Seeing me, he answered tersely. Thus, the manager immediately turned his head to look.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrgUE0JCnT
"Hahaha….Obviously he already contacted Mr. Lee."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmGry68PJ5
"Who is that?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02x1zwvgGE
"......!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfeJuV1Pef
"A very powerful person?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLL50q17ZAm
"Yes?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CsMyFEd3X
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrExLSExWb
I don't know if it was because I was in the basement, but the bell and the door opened.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZnZAbiI8x
Boom!
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rQRcq12e2
Then came a voice like thunder.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2Vwza2ycM
"Ah, Damn! Who's bothering me?!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxM4uJzVh2W
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSL0l5aaeSu
"I told you not to bother me? Do you want to die?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4yQORYXeR
"Boss,...I don't want to bother you...but this guy is from Dream.....And said that someone had contacted you about this...."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdq1lPwZ2f
"I've never been contacted?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6wDayIw1Z
"Ah....It seems like they haven't gotten in touch yet, so...."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCEdRjxPLJ
"No matter what Director Choi promises! I haven't received any contact. And I told you not to bother me no matter what ! "
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJroeOigZRO
“Boss! But because they keep saying that they will contact us....I didn't know how to handle it..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3wXMSoc4QH
"Manager, there is no contact at all!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIEuj96D57
"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! "
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYo1nrGgHkO
"Ahhh! Boss, please trust me. Because the manager said he would contact...."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UyBbUuA6B
It was like a loop.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKAQF1ulyD
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKks4RvdCh
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLApWASNKFn
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpgE55h9g2
"Hey, you can't just go in there."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkKjz2omyD
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wwUn2gz6h
"I heard you only take pictures for people you want right?”
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD263xUAX85
At my question, Mr. Lee only wore pants with one eyebrow raised.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbFdD5Lfug
"Yes."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplfhINcQd3
"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. "
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAIeoVM8Xg
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFBXy5Y9Ah
"Take off your shirt."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LAG1Z9dia
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fUzjkMfZZ
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLHdnaDeE9
"Do you do any manual labor? These muscles don't look like body-builder."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTI8xXAFa7
The manager next to him was quick to explain his conjecture.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yYEWCYHBG
"Haha...not quite manual labor, Taemin only worked as a courier you see..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e408pYq5l
"If you are talking about field work, I did those too...."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFgunMA5hQ
"What?! But , didn't you say that you worked in delivery during the day and at a logistics centre at night?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTcBYiSZI3
"Yes...On weekdays. "
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFP2AZz9bp
"......."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5x6lHSxwr
"I only do manual labor on weekends."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rur4m8LCN
"Then when do you rest?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3y7n77UfF
"I've never taken time off."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwZts4W0QW
"!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9vIE48DGr
"!"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuvrA9Rokf
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60pH8li6GG
"Ah Well…You're just so average."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNv11VsTJt
"......."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17sYhcfvFB
"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."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTNnZimNDK
"......."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZH830K9RR
"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..."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3h1IKWyQj
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.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSY8aQF64wv
"So you don't want to take my pictures?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetbYtkGQ7y
When I asked dryly, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnL34Pqk84
"Nah, I'll take them for you. "
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEEyo60N9x
"Then let's do it…"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW290U9U4C
At my conclusion he raised the corners of his lips higher and said to the manager.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbE4hHy1cS
"Where did you find him? The more you look at him the more interesting he becomes."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvX9KHPULZ
The manager's face, which was still a little tense, was now completely relieved by his words and smiled.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbJ4HeJLVY
"Right? If you keep looking at him, don't you want to take his pictures?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDrtnHTVS7
"Of course I will take his pictures, but under the condition of doing me a favor…"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5qJTRDcLJ
"If I may ask....What favor is it that you ask of....?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUIpdG5pM9
When the wary manager asked back, he smiled and pointed at night as if there had never been a sad expression on his face.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx0Easflbb
"I am working on a personal project and I want to take his photos for the project."
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdayPsX2tJk
Hearing that, the manager was no longer worried and nodded in relief.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcIpphqOQY
"Well of course you may take photos of him for your project. What project is it?"
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKP3s0Cggm
"Nude."
