Chapter 106 – #16. King Woohak (6)
Director Choi Young-ji brought us to a meat restaurant.
It wasn’t even a pork belly restaurant, it was Korean beef.
She even called the team to shoot with, introduced us, and led the dinner.
“There are not many shooting teams. So, we planned a dinner like this because we wanted to create an atmosphere where we could be proud of each other. We prepared Korean beef with the hope that our family will eat well and survive the hot summer. It’s a bribe to ask for good filming, so you can eat until your stomach bursts. Instead, you should work as much as you ate. You know?”
Clap clap clap clap!
Wow!!!
“Thank you, Director!!”
“Director sister is the best!”
“Who called you sister?! I’m your sister, right?”
“Puhahaha!”
“If you buy me something delicious, you are my sister!!”
It was not a pork belly dinner, but a Korean beef dinner, so the atmosphere of the staff was very good.
Director Choi Young-ji went around the seats with her staff and took pictures of her face.
‘It’s expensive. It’s cheap.’
At an unexpected meat party, we eagerly ate Korean beef.
And director Choi Young-ji came to the table with writer Choi Hee-min.
“Is everyone eating well?”
“Yes. I guess this house is a restaurant. The meat is delicious.”
“I sensibly invited them to a restaurant. Let Haesol, Kangjun, Taeho, and Minyoung get a drink each.”
Director Choi Young-ji poured soju into our glasses.
But.
“Because Junie is a minor. Would he mind replacing it with cider?”
“What? Was Juni underage?”
“I am 19 years old.”
“I thought there was only cute hair flowing on Juni’s face, but there was also downy hair. Cider is ok too. So, cheers everyone! You know that one shot is the national rule for a toasting glass, right?”
“Sister! Don’t be too aggressive with drinking.”
“What are you doing clinging to Mr. Haesol as soon as you arrive, ugly?”
“Is it a sin to want to be close?!”
Perhaps because of their brother-sister relationship, the two fought constantly.
The problem is that it’s because of me that I’m fighting right now.
‘It’s burdensome, so can’t we please stick together and fight?’
The interest in me was so great that I misunderstood that if writer Choi Hee-min had not had a married wife, she would be gay.
The fact that he has a good feeling for Kang Jun as well as me gives me comfort.
‘Why is a guy with a wife doing this?’
Fortunately, he had a wife, so my butt wasn’t in danger.
Just watching them cling to each other like this makes my arms swell with strength.
‘I want to push it away.’
I raised my glass to change the subject of conversation.
“Let’s drink. He said he was making a toast.”
“Oh! Right. I almost forgot. Come on, let’s all have a drink. The first cup is to be drunk without fail. Oh, did I mention this? Anyway, from now on, I won’t force you. It’s a cool way to wash your throat.”
After the preparations were finished, everyone lifted their glasses from the table and shouted Cheers!
“””Cheers!”””
“Big~”
The alcohol I drank after a long time was bitter and sweet.
I don’t know how I’ve forgotten about this delicious food.
‘As expected, alcohol invites alcohol.’
Because the engine started properly, the alcohol went in without knowing the end.
Director Choi Young-ji said it was good and matched the pace with me.
He even sat down and started drinking.
Perhaps it was because of his fraudulent body, but because of his good detoxification power, he didn’t seem to be able to get drunk.
“Brother, why do you drink so well?”
“What is this good drink? It’s just a mouthful.”
“… Oh my god. You are a total drunkard.”
Men have a thing called drinking, but I came from a place where I used to drink, so my mouth opened automatically when I got a little tipsy.
“Honey, you should become a man and drink this much. When you turn 20, your older brother will teach you how to drink. Just wait.”
“Ahaha!! Haesol said the right thing. Originally, alcohol is learned from adults. Ah~ This friend is really genuine. I thought you would be shy when you saw your face.”
I like alcohol, but the director, who was red-faced, couldn’t stop laughing and repeated that he liked me.
In fact, he looked drunk from the moment he came to our table.
It was because I had already passed through several tables.
Talking to Kang Tae-ho and Han Min-young, who were drinking meat and alcohol relatively quietly, Director Choi Young-ji focused on building friendships.
♧♧♧
When Kang Joon and I entered the dorm, the members possessed a pack of dogs, as if they smelled the meat like ghosts.
When I barely washed my body and came out to the living room to avoid the guys protesting to give out the meat, I saw the members pecking at me asking me to tell them about what happened today, with Kang Jun-i in the middle.
“Ugh.”
I shouldn’t be stuck there.
I was about to enter the room carefully, but coincidence grabbed my leg.
“Evil! Let go! I will sleep.”
“Where are you running away!!! Hurry up and tell me about today’s business. They said it was a mess because everyone was curious.”
“You can listen to him!”
“Leave me? Brother?”
“Does our team have no respect for the elderly? I need to drink and go to sleep It’s clunky.”
“Huh! Have you been drinking?”
“Oh, right! He drinks very well! I was surprised to see you drinking today.”
“Ohhhhh!!! Tell me! Quickly. What about acting? Good job? A compliment?”
Oh, come to think of it, acting!
We prepared hard and went, but neither the director nor the writer directly asked us to ‘act’.
Thanks to that, I ended up not being able to use all the things I worked hard on.
“I guess the director isn’t very interested in our acting skills. You don’t talk about it at all.”
“You say you don’t care about acting while filming a drama?”
“Isn’t that ridiculous?”
“Is the coach’s personality a little off?”
“No, I thought he would be intimidated because he was a rookie director or he would be arrogant because he parachuted in as his younger brother, but neither was the case. You can’t seem like a normal person, so you even look a bit competent?”
At Kang Juni’s words, the members applauded and said that they were fortunate.
“Doesn’t the atmosphere look very bad?”
“Uh. I thought I was thinking only the worst. Besides, he himself knows his situation.”
“How many times have I said yes. He was full of enthusiasm.”
“Especially that part made me reflect on myself.”
“Regret?”
“Huh. People around me said that this web drama was going to fail, so I think I looked at it lightly.”
It is said that Junyi listened to the director’s words and reflected on himself.
The more people around me said that, the more I worked hard and did not think about making a good work, but I thought that it would be okay because I prepared this much.
“Isn’t it because I didn’t have time to prepare because I was busy teaching?”
“Ah, no. If I had been greedy, I would have put more effort into it. But I didn’t do it because I thought it would be enough if I prepared this much.”
Juni expressed his will to work harder from now on.
Her brother member is like that, so I can’t just stay still.
Since I appeared in the same production, I had to make sure I didn’t look too lacking in skills.
If I swear, Junie will eat it too.
‘Moreover, what if you go into direct comparison? It’s perfect for ruining the group atmosphere.’
You don’t even have to be very good at it.
Moreover, my volume itself was closer to that of a face madam, so it wouldn’t be easy to compare.
“Lee hyung-nim is agitated because of alcohol, so I need to go to sleep. Listen to Juni for the rest.”
“Until now, Jun hyung talked more!”
“Looking at her half-closed eyes, she must have been really drunk. Let’s leave it alone.”
“Is that so?”
“Junah!! Squeeze your hair what else do you have?”
“Ah! How was your partner? Who is the female lead?”
“Uh… The female lead…”
After finally getting out of the hustle and bustle of the living room and arriving on the bed, I stretched out in a big shape and enjoyed the rest.
‘Oh, it’s hard.’
After drinking for the first time in a while, I feel boom~ boom~.
In this case, there is only one thing to do.
I took out my cell phone.
[Unread message 8]
“There are eight of them.”
Let’s check them one by one.
First of all, Joo-ah was the first person to text.
[Today is the day we were supposed to meet with the writer and director, right? Cheer up! You will do well Go for it!!]
[Did you act well? The filming would be comfortable if the writer and director liked it. Work hard and contact me when you’re done.]
Joo-ah noona was wondering how my schedule ended today.
In addition, it seemed that he hoped that today’s meeting would have a good ending.
Other letters were similar in content.
Worried text messages came from Ah-hyun, Bok-soon, and manager, and the most unexpected thing was that there was a text from her mother-in-law.
‘I guess Joo-ah heard what I did today.’
[I did well, I am doing well, I will do well.]
It was a simple yet heartbreaking phrase.
Are you also a mother-in-law?
My mother-in-law was the woman who showed me the warm maternal love that I couldn’t feel from other women.
‘Want see.’
With my mother-in-law, when I always went to see Joo-a, it was inevitable that it would be a casual meeting.
It was barely dawn after Joo-ah noona fell asleep, and she secretly went to her room to spend the night.
‘Even though I never had a proper date, my mother-in-law always welcomed me warmly.’
Only then will I be able to carry my face anywhere.
Just because she doesn’t show off on the outside doesn’t mean she doesn’t have feelings of sadness.
She said her mother-in-law couldn’t have an opinion for herself, just because she had an affair with her daughter’s man.
‘I should have paid more attention.’
Moreover, my mother-in-law is doing the role I should have played instead.
If she hadn’t been there, would she have been able to endure without thinking negatively about the sudden pregnancy news?
The fact that I can live without any worries like now is all thanks to my mother-in-law.
‘Since I’ve made money, I’m really shameless if I don’t do anything.’
What can I do for my mother-in-law?
It was something I had to think about from now on.
There are currently an enormous number of coins available to me.
No, to be more precise, there will be more in the future.
‘I wonder if there was a reaction to the sales post I posted?’
It is expected that many people will live.
And as I expected, I turned on the status window and checked the sales post, and there were a lot of excellent comments.
It was said that they were selling a new AI status window terminal with the old status window terminal +@, and the response was better than expected.
There were as many as 500 transaction requests that came in as personal messages below.
‘Why are there so many people with a lot of money?’
Thanks to a few of the many notes that caught my eye, I didn’t have to go through the trouble of choosing them one by one.
There were people who sent detailed specifications of the old status window they had, along with photos, as well as photos confirming that they had coins.
‘I should have been this kind of sincere to make a deal.’
Among them, I contacted the one that presented the most coins with +@ along with the most up-to-date model among the old ones.
After a few days of careful selection, I was able to close the deal in my favor because the buyer of my new AI was very tired.
In fact, even if I thought about it, I had a new model, but it seemed like I was the only one who said I would exchange it for the old one.
However, I suppressed the possessive desire for the new AI status window, thinking of the large amount of coins that would come into my pocket.
‘Bye. It’s AI.’
It’s been a while, but I love it! Big!
The luck I got out of the blue passed into the hands of others before I even built up a bond.
Somehow, it feels like a part of my heart has been pierced.
The spherical status window isn’t bad, but I couldn’t get used to it since the AI that woke me up every morning with a voice like a oriole disappeared.
But humans are creatures of adaptation!
The thick coin earned by selling AI was filling the vacancy of AI.
To be honest, at first I was taken aback by the huge number and the unexpected situation.
That would be too.
[Possessed coins: 5,900,100 (5,020)]
“?”
The coin that was traded did not come into the gift certificate coin, but into the coin that can raise the ability.
It was an unexpected hit.
‘I knew it was going to be awkward, so I was cold. But since this isn’t a coin earned from a mission, it’s normal to come here.’
It’s just that I was a fool who misunderstood that it was going to the gift certificate coin.
Right now, this jackpot is a normal process without any problems.
