Chapter 140 <Did You Have a Change of Heart?>

Hyung, over here.

Yoo Yeon Seo waved his hand at Park Seunghwan, who was walking towards him from afar. Anyone could tell that he had a I drank too much yesterday look on his face. He squinted his eyes at Yoo Yeon Seo, who was always handsome and didnt look tired at all.

Hey, dont you have a hangover?

I didnt drink much.

You call that not drinking much?

Someone kept filling his glass whenever it was empty. He drank it all, but everyone else left with their managers, as if they were dragged away.

It must be the effect of the soul.

He had much stronger muscles and senses than others, but he couldnt get drunk even if he wanted to. That was a bit disappointing. But when he thought of the mess his acquaintances made in the wee hours, he felt like it was better not to get drunk.

Lets go in.

Yoo Yeon Seo followed Park Seunghwan to enter the restaurant, but he stepped back.

Is this really the meeting place?

For hangover, its gotta be rice soup. This place may look like this, but its a hidden gem.

Saying that, Park Seunghwan went inside and sat down in front of someone who was already eating from a hot pot. The person slurped the soup and spoke with a refreshed voice.

Ahh, did you drink a lot yesterday?

Yeah, totally.

I thought so. You were plastered at the pub, and it was on the news.

What?

Park Seunghwan quickly grabbed his phone, and Yoo Yeon Seo turned his head to glance at the screen.

Ge.Ha members reunited at the festival

[SNS] Choi Junyoung, showing off his friendship with Ge.Ha members on SNS I miss Lee Juna

Wow, I can smell the alcohol from the photo.

Ha ha ha, you guys smell like booze.

Why does Yoo Yeon Seo look so sober among them? Is it because hes young? Ha ha.

Theyre still close, huh? Amazing. They must be really good friends.

Ge.Ha season 2 plz

What, Yoo Yeon Seo promised to be a guest at the concert? Will he sing?

Oh, I was going to book the tickets anyway.

What kind of news is this? Its all your fault.

I cant help but take pictures, you know. Hello, director.

Ah, Yoo Yeon Seo-ssi. Nice to meet you.

Ignoring Park Seunghwan, who was blaming him, he smiled and greeted the director. The director wiped his hands on his thighs and extended his hand politely. Yoo Yeon Seo also shook his hand courteously.

Hes Director Kim Jaeho.

Among Park Seunghwans triple 30 million hits, there was one movie by Director Kim Jaeho. He was a director who could make both box office and directing work. He got his hands on the directors unpublished synopsis. That was an unexpected harvest. Having more connections was always good.

Lets eat first and then talk.

Okay.

As soon as the food came out, Park Seunghwan devoured it without a word, and Yoo Yeon Seo, who didnt need much hangover cure, talked to Kim Jaeho.

Ive seen some of your synopses, director, but Ive never seen Profane Murder.

Usually, when they circulate a scenario like this, they dont send it to a few specific actors, but to all the agencies in the country. There arent many actor agencies in Korea. Even if you include the singer agencies that also have actors.

Actually, Seunghwan, I only showed it to him, and he said he had to do it and told me not to reveal it to anyone. That was a year ago.

Oh, really?

I thought he was bullying me at first. Why, you know, that kind of thing happens often.

There was also actor bullying besides the production company bullying that Lee Jeonghoon suffered.

For example, when they sent a scenario to a top star actor or a movie actor like Park Seunghwan, who had a lot of investors, the actor would say he would review it and not give an answer for years.

And they couldnt bury the scenario, so they handed it over to another actor, and that caused a problem when the actor said he would do it.

The actor who originally received the scenario heard the news and said, You said you were reviewing it. Why did you give it to another actor? Im offended. Then the directors position would be awkward from the next work. Of course, he couldnt use that actor, and he couldnt get an investment either.

This was the case where the top actors tied up the good scenarios for years and threw them away when they didnt fit the times. This was also what the small directors like Lee Jeonghoon suffered.

Thats why they circulated the scenario to the whole agency.

I wonder if I have any scenarios that I tied up before.

Before the possession, he wasnt a top actor of that level. But, since the background was the background, he must have had a lot of scenarios coming in. He had to deal with it before it became a problem.

Director Kim shouldnt have to deal with that kind of thing.

I know, right? But he still sticks around.

You must be very close to him.

Anyone could tell they were best friends. So why did they attack each other with such hurtful words?

Park Seunghwan, who had gulped down the lukewarm soup, complained softly that his schedule was awkward. Yoo Yeon Seo held back a laugh. He had made a dandy impression as a senior actor at first, but after yesterdays dinner, he had become a friendly neighborhood uncle.

Dont you trust me? I told you Id take care of everything.

Is taking care of everything dragging someone in?

Why? Hes the whole package for investment, production, and distribution. You said you liked Yoo Yeon Seo for the role of Minjae. You said his acting was great and you welcomed him.

Kim Minjae coughed at Park Seunghwans counterattack. In fact, he had been a bit more enthusiastic than that when he was drunk.

Yoo Yeon Seos reputation was pretty good now. If he invested, he would just pay the money and not interfere with anything. And he showed improvement in his acting skills, so it was a profitable deal to give him a lead role and get a good investment.

Actually, I dont have an eye for production companies, and I cant bring in investors and stuff.

It was thanks to Park Seunghwan that he had reached the position of a ten-million director. If it werent for him, he might have given up on being a film director and switched to another path.

Oh, Im not just interested in the money. Yoo Yeon Seos acting is good too.

Yes. Its fine.

Anyway, he didnt feel bad about approaching him after seeing his background. 

He was grateful for the title that Choi Yoo Jin had given him. 

He could have a good synopsis because of that.

There were many small companies in the film industry that aimed for a hit. It meant that they could rake in the money if they hit it big. And Yoo Yeon Seo had a good intuition. His keen sense seemed to tell him that this work would make money.

The synopsis looked good.

You cant be drawn to him already. Thats trouble.

Its okay because hes my brother.

Hey, I know why you like him.

Kim Jaeho smiled and looked at Park Seunghwan. Park Seunghwan tapped Yoo Yeon Seos shoulder and laughed.

Anyway, Id welcome Yoo Yeon Seo. Its rather too much for me.

He pulled his head back and scanned Yoo Yeon Seos upper body. His glamorous appearance, and even his clothes, looked expensive. They didnt match the shabby soup restaurant. But strangely, they blended well with the space.

How strange

He had researched all the actors who fit the age range for the role of Minjae. Yoo Yeon Seo was one of them. He was a bit older, but he could pull off the student role with some styling changes.

Hes pretty good now

But back then, he felt that Yoo Yeon Seo had a natural chaebol vibe. Or to be more specific He felt that he didnt fit the space and time he was in, and he thought he didnt match Minjae in Vulgar Murder. But now it was different.

Actually, I was a bit hesitant at first. Yoo Yeon Seo was so different from Minjae. But now that I see him like this, its different.

Minjae and I have very different backgrounds.

Yes. Of course, I know youll show that with your acting skills, but theres something called a natural atmosphere.

Director Kim Jaeho made a square frame with his fingers and put Yoo Yeon Seo in it.

But it seems like itll suit you well. Did you have any change of heart in a year?

No way.

In fact, he had gone through a lot in that year. His memory synchronization had exceeded 50%, and he had been involved in various incidents. Maybe it was because of that? Yoo Yeon Seo smiled faintly.

Shall we move to another place and talk more? This is not the place to talk.

Yes.

They moved their chairs and went outside. Yoo Yeon Seo called out to Lim Seunghyun, who was waiting in front of the restaurant.

Mr. Lim Seunghyun.

Lim Seunghyun, who seemed to be in a trance, turned his head sharply at his voice.

Is there a problem?

No, nothing.

Did you get a call from Baek Seojoon?

No, it was nothing.

He put his phone in his pocket and followed Yoo Yeon Seo.

Something seems to be going on

He was suspicious, but it wasnt an important matter right now. He let Kim Jaeho and Park Seunghwan go first, and called Cha Yoonho.

Mr. Cha, do you have the contract?

He had to sign the contract right away before he could say anything else. Cha Yoonho, who had woken up from his sleep, answered in a hoarse voice.

(Yes? Yes. I have it. Whats going on?)

You know Director Kim Jaeho, right? I think Im going to be in his next project I mean, were probably going to be in charge of the production.

(What, Director Kim Jaeho? Tell me where he is and Ill go right away.)

Cha Yoonho, who had left work early to join Yoo Yeon Seos social gathering, quickly came to his senses. He thought to himself that their boss had hit the jackpot and hurriedly changed his clothes.

Mr. Im Seunghyun, what happened to So Donghyun?

I think hell be fired soon. He did a lot of shady things behind our backs.

He did his job well, but there was something dull about him. As Yoo Yeon Seo narrowed her eyes, Im Seunghyun smiled awkwardly.

Lets go, theyre waiting for you up front.

Okay. It might take a while, so you can rest somewhere.

Sure.

Im Seunghyun confirmed that Yoo Yeon Seo had followed the two people into the cafe and then mulled over the phone call he had just made.

He had asked Baek Seojun if he could see the CCTV footage of the suspicious shadow he had seen at Choi Namyuns funeral. And in the video he had just received, there was something that matched his suspicion.

(I checked the CCTV and you were right.)

Was there?

(Ill send you the video, check it out.)

Im Seunghyun immediately played the video that Baek Seojun had sent him. As he switched between the video and the agencys CCTV, he noticed something odd. The distinctive gait that Yoo Yeon Seo had pointed out. It looked like the same person.

Im Seunghyun, lost in thought for a moment, called again.

Detective.

(Yes?)

What do you think this person would do if they thought we were on the lords side?

(Come on, dont be ridiculous. How would they recognize us? Were far away. And how would they know? Were just a cop and a secretary.)

What if?

Baek Seojun hummed and trailed off, deep in thought. He was also bothered by what Itaegyeom had said when he was drunk.

(Then they would try to draw more attention. If Taegyeom was right and Yeon Seo, theyre obsessed with her.)

That makes sense.

(But why do you ask?)

Im Seunghyun did not answer Baek Seojuns curiosity. He just thanked him and hung up. The day Yoo Yeon Seo was taken to the emergency room, more people recognized him from the photo.

I was so famous that even the fans knew my face.

Then, could that person recognize him too?

No way, that cant be.

But he thought he should be careful and got into the car.
