Chapter 97
"Haha. No, reporter Ko. Why is he acting so strict? Let's help each other."
Of course, this was not the answer that the 4th chief wanted. In response to Ko Seoyoung's unexpected words, the 4th chief said with a smile.
"Come on, don't do that. First, listen to my story. You know Park Ho Eun, right? Unism Entertainment is pushing these days.
While the 4th chief was talking, Ko Seoyoung cut off the words firmly.
[I'm sorry, manager]. I do know about other actors, but it's hard to give you information about actor Kang Jinseok. He's such a clean person that I don't have the information to give you.]
Ko Seoyoung added in a cautious voice.
[And it's better that you don't touch Kang Jinseok]. The manager is out of the ordinary. [This is advice because it's between us, just like the manager said]
What, what? What's wrong with the manager.
[Then I'll hang up now]. I'm kind of busy.]
"Now, wait a minute. Reporter Ko Seoyoung! No, journalist Ko!"
The 4th chief urgently called Ko Seoyoung, but the call had already been cut off. The 4th chief made a big impression.
"It's better not to touch Kang Jinseok?"
If it came out of someone else's mouth, I might have just spilled it.
However, the 4th chief could not pass it in vain because it was said by the entertainment industry's Madangbal, "Ko Seoyoung."
"But I can't stay still."
I don't know why, but I was very confident and anxious that Jinseok should not be allowed to audition.
However, this weekend was Kang Jinseok's audition, so I didn't have enough time to do something now.
"Oh, my God Something's going wrong."
Team leader Woo, who was watching from the side, carefully opened his mouth.
"Team leader, what's wrong? Is there anything I can do.
"Do you think everything's okay?"
The head of the 4th division opened his axed eyes and said to Team Leader Woo.
"Just drive. Don't annoy me."
Yes."
Team leader Woo had no choice but to just nod at the words of the four chiefs who were hurting his pride.

"This is really the last chance."
I've been really busy the last few days for today. Kim's warehouse returned billions to the original owners, and he prepared for auditions by reducing his sleep.
As if to compensate for such hardships, the weather was really clear today. After looking outside for a while, I remembered today's audition.
It was a precious opportunity not to come again, so I was fully prepared. Even if I can't be possessed, I won't regret it even if I fail to audition.
"Whoa.
I sighed to relieve my tension.
"Are you nervous, actor?"
Jang Sunho, who was driving quietly in front of me, asked after he heard my sigh.
"Yes, I'm a bit nervous, to be honest. Maybe it's because it's an audition that I messed up once LOL."
"Don't worry too much. I'm sure the actor will do well."
Jang Sunho looked directly at me in the rear mirror and said. Jang Sunho's expression through the mirror didn't seem to worry at all.
"Thank you."
He bowed slightly to Jang Sunho thanked him, and turned his eyes out of the window.
I'm telling you, it's the weather I want to go anywhere to play. While watching the dazzling sky without hesitation, Jang Sunho pointed at someone and said.
"Director Yeo Jaeyoon is here."
When I saw where Jang Sunho pointed out, director Yeo Jaeyoon was in front of the gate. Jang Sunho said, slowing down the speed of the car near Director Yeo Jaeyoon.
"Actor, please get off first. I'll park and go in."
"Yes."
After answering lightly, I took a deep breath again.
"Whoa". Let's go.'
As soon as he got out of the car, he bowed to director Yeo Jaeyoon.
"Hello, director! I've just arrived. Thank you so much for taking time out of this weekend!"
"Thank you. What's left for me is time. Then, Let's go in."
"Yes!"
He entered the gate after director Yeo Jaeyoon, who smiled sadly. As the gate opens, you can see a cute garden hidden behind a grand door.
I crossed the garden and arrived at the door. When director Yeo Jaeyoon opened the house, someone was seen with a clear bell ringing.
It's Yeo Hyemin in a white dress.
I don't know why women are wearing something like that at home, but it was a little strange to be wearing something close to an outing.
But the quizzes didn't last long. The white dress looked so good on her, it looked more comfortable than any other clothes.
"Hello, it's been a long time since I saw you."
Nodding.
Yeo Hyemin nodded half a beat late and left without saying anything.
She could have just said a casual hello Come to think of it, she didn't say anything when we met last time.
I wondered if I had made a mistake, but I didn't make any particular mistake. I thought my personality was taciturn, and I decided not to care anymore.
"Actor Kang. You're going to audition in my study that we took last time. Is that all right?"
Director Yeo Jaeyoon, who was watching us, said. Just as it is convenient to take the audition where you audition last time. It was welcome for me to audition again in the study room where I had acted once.
"Anywhere is fine with me."
"I see. Okay, then. Would you like more time? Or can we go audition right now?
"Yes, I think I can do it right now."
I didn't think it would be good to drag it out for a long time. Rather than being nervous and relaxing, it would be better to audition even for a second.
Actor!"
It was then. Jang Sunho hurriedly opened the door and called me. He looks a little rough to breathe, maybe it's running from the parking lot.
He looked straight at me and spoke forcefully, as he did in the car earlier.
"You will do well."
***
You two must be quite on good terms.'
As Yeo Jaeyoon took Jinseok to his study, he recalled a conversation between Jinseok and Jang Sunho a while ago.
Yeo Jaeyoon, who has seen many actors and managers, could guess the relationship between the actor and the manager with just a short conversation. And Jinseok and Jang Sunho, whom Yeo Jaeyoon saw, seemed to get along quite well.
I can say that I feel a strong trust in each other.
"In order to have a good relationship between an actor and a manager, you must have a good actor personality." The rumors about actor Kang Jinseok must have been real.'
Yeo Jaeyoon recalled Oh Sihoon, who auditioned a few days ago, and was the head of the 4th office.
Oh Sihoon, who is drunk on his own pride, and the 4th manager who forcibly takes such an actor.
They'll definitely be different from them.'
Leaving behind his thoughtful thoughts, Yeo Jaeyoon guided Jinseok into the study room.
It was a familiar study room that had been used for decades. In it, Yeo Hyemin came in before him and sat down.
Yeo Hyemin had a blank look as if she didn't care much about Jinseok. However, Yeo Jaeyoon could see that sometimes Jinseok was looking sideways.
She seemed to be into "The Way They Chose" late these days. Did you end up being a fan of him?'
As a father, I felt uncomfortable for some reason. It seemed that Jinseok's were about to turn into an inconvenience.
"Hmmm."
After a small cough, Yeo Jaeyoon sat next to Yeo Hyemin in her seat.
"Then, start as soon as you're ready. For the audition, as in the first round, you can play the scene that you are most confident in."
Yeo Jaeyoon, holding his chin while holding his fingers, looked through Jinseok.
Jinseok had a stiff standing posture and a stiff expression. If you express it, it feels like a mannequin.
I think he was quite nervous at the first audition. Is it the same again this time?'
The rigid Jinseok reminded Yeo Jaeyoon of Jinseok's first audition.
Jinseok's first audition, where he was so nervous that he even broke out in a cold sweat.
That time, Jinseok took a long time to start acting again this time, but it was also a nervous moment for Yeo Jaeyoon, who was waiting for Jinseok's performance.
Every minute and second passes, there is a lot of tension.
"Hmm. Can't you overcome the pressure?'
Yeo Jaeyoon was a little, no, quite disappointed.
This is because an actor who could outperform another actor just by showing half of his acting skills so far was not at a loss.
In addition, Jinseok was an actor whom Yeo Jaeyoon wanted to work with at least once. But such an actor was nervous at his audition. He was so sad and disappointed.
Maybe, between me and Kang Jinseok, we can't work together.'
I looked at my daughter sitting next to me, immersed in heavy thoughts.
I can see a white hand holding the hem tightly than the dress placed under the desk. From the minute shaking of the hand, Yeo Jaeyoon could see his daughter cheering for Jinseok.
Despite such support, Jinseok still stood still with a nervous look, and the silence continued.
"Well.
Yeo Jaeyoon breathed a light sigh through his nose and looked at the clock behind Jinseok.
Surprisingly, less than a minute has passed since Jinseok's audition began.
I thought it had been quite a while Am I nervous too?'
then.
"Here we go, director."
Jinseok broke the silence with a light voice. At that voice, Yeo Jaeyoon, who was looking at the clock, looked at Jinseok.
Yes, this is it. This is Kang Jinseok.'
And Jinseok was smiling as if his hesitation just before was a dream.
Yeo Jaeyoon's deadly smile could only be expressed in glo, softening everyone's boundaries and seducing anyone.
It's different from then.'
Yeo Jaeyoon raised the tail of his mouth slightly as if he were satisfied. Then, the moment he tried to circle Jinseok's name with a pencil. Suddenly there was a strange sense of alienation.
?
Yeo Jaeyoon raised his head and slowly looked at Jinseok again. I still see a perfect smile. I'm telling you, like he was nervous earlier was it a LIE.
The stiff expression he showed before acting. "Was that also acting?"
If Jinseok had such a smile as soon as he started auditioning, he would not have admired this much.
However, the nervous expression and awkwardness he showed before he started acting made his smile stand out even more now.
And if Jinseok even calculated that, isn't this a real fraud?
When Yeo Jaeyoon looked at Jinseok while swallowing dry saliva.
"My name is Song Trust."
Jinseok said with the most perfect smile in the world.
AND
"I'm a fraud."
