17 – What’s Next (1)

I thought Director Yoo Yeon-jeong’s words were a little hasty.

In the first place, the 3rd work is a very far story in the yard that the next work has not been conceived yet.

“I have no idea about the third project yet.”

“Okay. Then you can sell the third piece to us as well.”

What is it?

Are you talking about something else?

“No, you haven’t thought about it yet, have you?”

“Really? To my ears, it sounds like you can write it down whenever you want to. Is not it?”

I was at a loss for words when I saw director Yoo Yeon-jeong smiling while saying that.

Gradually, she seemed to understand why she wanted to meet me.

“Is the reason you called me about an exclusive artist contract?”

“It’s half bingo.”

“Then it seems you got the wrong street number. Because I have no intention of becoming a full-time writer.”

“Why? Are you busy with your studies?”

“Of course there is a reason for that. And it’s my personal opinion, but if you turn your hobby into a job, you get very tired.”

However, despite my stubborn refusal, director Yoo Yeon-jeong’s expression did not change.

She opened her mouth slowly.

“For us, a hobby is enough.”

“… Yes?”

“It doesn’t matter how long it takes. But I hope only we can buy your script.”

“That sounds like you just want to monopolize me?”

“Exactly, Exclusive. I strongly want the script of the 927 writer, and I would be very angry if your script leaked elsewhere.”

This person…….

Because he said those words calmly with a terrifying smile, something is genuinely scary.

I spoke with confidence so as not to be swept away by her atmosphere.

“That… You know there’s no reason I should be, right?”

“Yes, of course. So, I’m going to personally create a reason why it should be so.”

…… Do you think there’s a reason?

“If you sell the script, I will give you the highest price, and if you want to shoot yourself, I will lend you the set and manpower, and if you want an actor, I will cast you at will.”

“Wait—”

“How about it, is this enough? So, should I go to school? . You know Yeonggwang High School where only the top 1% in Korea can attend, right? The chairman there is my younger brother, so I can plug it in for you.”

“For now, Yeonggwang High School is over.”

“Oh, is this an immediate answer?”

Of course.

Because that’s where the main characters, including Seol So-young, gather.

Perhaps the incident is all involved?

“After… ….”

I feel like the more I talk about something, the more I feel, but anyway, I know what director Yoo Yeon-jung wants to say.

I can do anything within the range of possible, so it must mean that I want to keep myself in Studio Enmix.

But what I was curious about was why.

I wondered why she wanted to hold onto me that way.

“Yes, I highly value the talent of the 927 artist. There is a property in front of you that seems to continue to rise in value, but as a merchant, you can’t just pass by, can you?”

“Am I serious?”

“There are quite a few great people who have already smelled your money. Maybe because of you, everyone has a hard time watching dramas.”

Yoo Yeon-jung shrugged her shoulders as if it were natural.

Um.

It feels strange to receive such open praise.

Well, drama writers in this world all create stories with missing screws somewhere…….

My drama is definitely a fairy compared to those works.

“Please give me some time to think about it.”

“Then you can end your worries right here.”

“… Yes? Here?”

Listening to that dizzying prompt response, I suddenly remembered the advice of PD Na and Yongseok hyung.

Director Yoo Yeon-jin is a person with a strong self-paced tendency, so it would be difficult to carry on a normal conversation.

“Because I don’t have that long of patience either. Can you last as long as you can in this room? Maybe.”

I instinctively shuddered when I saw those eyes that treated me like a prey.

Anyway, from the moment I entered this room, it seemed that I was properly caught in a trap set by that person.

And that day I had a realization.

A woman who is obsessive is very scary.

So, I will definitely date a woman who is understanding.

“Now then, shall we talk about the next project? Roughly what kind of story is it?”

“Cha, the next story?”

“When you signed the contract with him, you confidently said that you would sell your next project to us. It’s been a few months since then, but if you’re like the author of 927, you’ll probably have a good idea by now. Am I right?”

Uh… Hmm.

I couldn’t bear to answer that question full of expectations.

Actually, the bastard you are talking about hasn’t even started yet.

hahahaha.

After Seo Eun-woo left, Director Park Yong-oh visited Yoo Yeon-jeong’s room.

“So? How was the conversation?”

Park Yong-oh carefully asked Yoo Yeon-jeong, who was sitting in the reserved seat and reading documents.

“927 Author? I was surprised to see that he was a real middle school student.”

“No, other than that, what kind of person do you think you are when you see it with your own eyes?”

“Who? Well… ….”

At Park Yong-oh’s question, Yoo Yeon-jeong smiled bitterly.

And finally, I remembered the conversation I had with the 927 artist.

‘It’s okay to tell you about your next project. I haven’t come up with good inspiration yet.’

‘Good inspiration? Then where did you get the inspiration for your first piece?’

‘Chief Yoo Yeon-jeong.’

I’ve always thought that this side had the upper hand in the conversation…….

Once I crossed a certain line he had drawn, I immediately realized that it was wrong.

‘Don’t try to know too much. Then I might not get my real script.’

As he showed a serious face and even said words with a meaning of warning, the world’s softness had no choice but to swallow his saliva.

Thanks to that, Yoo Yeon-jung came to a clear realization.

The writer 927 is absolutely not a great person who can be kept on his own.

Just.

The reason Eunwoo showed such a reaction at the end was simply because he was embarrassed.

The script was written as if possessed by something after seeing Seol So-yeong sitting in a cafe by chance. What if others find out about this fact?

Ooh… Isn’t this the level of being caught in advance by others before confessing to the person concerned?

At that point, it’s not that I didn’t give the script, it’s that I couldn’t give it because I was embarrassed.

“After… I guess I’ll need another solution. A surefire way to keep him on our side.”

However, since there was no way she could know Eun-woo’s situation, Yoo Yeon-jeong had no choice but to let out a deep sigh.

Ttogak- Ttogak-

Meanwhile.

Seol So-yeong visited a place without fail today.

A place where the unique smell of disinfectant and bleach that wafts through the hallway is now familiar.

…… This was the hallway of a hospital run by Jeil Electronics.

Ttogak─

At that time, Seol So-young’s footsteps stopped in front of a hospital room.

She turned her head to check the name of someone next to the door.

[Lee Hwa-young]

After confirming the name of the owner of the room, Seol So-yeong slowly opened the door.

And when I opened the door, there was a woman in a hospital gown watching her TV.

Seol So-young looked at the woman and smiled brightly as she approached.

If Eunwoo saw Seol Soyoung’s expression right now, she would be genuinely surprised.

Because Seol So-yeong’s bright smile only comes naturally in front of this woman.

“Mom.”

The woman’s name is Hwayoung Lee.

As Seol So-yeong called, she was her mother.

Hwayoung Lee also found her own daughter and gave her a shallow smile.

“Hmm? Did you come alone with your father today?”

“I’m busy with work, so I’ll go first. However… I was watching it again.”

Seol So-yeong looked at her TV in her hospital room.

Welcome back there, Café Violet’s rebroadcast was playing.

“Did you not watch episode 10 yesterday?”

“Yes. But what if the heroine does her performance so well that she stays engrossed? I don’t know whose daughter she is, but her face is very pretty.”

Soyoung reacted a little shy to Hwayoung Lee’s praise, but as usual, she replied confidently.

“Who are you? Anyone can see that she is a proud mother’s daughter.”

“hahahaha. I know.”

Hwayoung Lee smiled at her confident remark.

She was thinking that her own daughter was admirable all over again.

How easy is it to debut at such a young age and hit the jackpot with her first work?

Of course, the interesting story also played a part, but I think it would be useless without her daughter’s acting skills.

Just.

‘I never thought it would be like this.’

I knew that Soyoung was good at anything.

However, I never expected that he would show his exceptional talent in the acting field.

…… In the first place, she said, the reason her daughter walked the path of an actress was because she was sick all the time.

Hwayoung Lee recalled her past memories.

She doesn’t fit well with Ms. Lee Hwa-yeong, a businesswoman who runs a hotel in Baekje, but she has a small hobby of watching dramas.

Since she was a child, she had to visit the hospital often because of her weak body.

Because of that, she was often hospitalized, and the only way to pass her time was reading and watching TV in the corner of the hospital room.

It was only natural that Mrs. Lee Hwa-young came across her drama.

The young Seol So-young also came in contact with her dramas naturally following her mother, and she suddenly said this to Mrs. Lee Hwa-young.

If she became an actress herself and appeared in a drama, wouldn’t she be a little less lonely when her mother was in the hospital? Called.

Hearing her daughter’s grown-up thoughts, Lee Hwa-young couldn’t help but be surprised.

She

As a parent, she was a great idea, but she didn’t want her daughter to decide her career path because of herself.

But So-Young, who she resembles, she was a very stubborn child.

After all, her husband and she chose the path of an actress no matter what they say, and she even proves it with results like her TV shows, so there’s nothing to say.

“Hmm? Why are you staring at me so intently?”

As if she didn’t know anything, she was making an innocent expression, just like now.

“Just. I feel like I’m not talking about him today for some reason.”

And there’s one thing that bothers her recently.

“Ah, the author of 927?”

“Yes. That bastard… not him. Do you have anything to say these days?”
