53 – Prologue

“Persuasion… ….”

Before starting her graduation ceremony, Seol So-young recalled the conversation she had with Yoo Yeon-jung that day, and she was immersed in deep thought.

Why did director Yoo Yeon-jeong have such a high level of precipitation?

Why do you even need my cooperation to persuade the author of 927?

She probably made that decision because she couldn’t stop the 927 author’s choice with her own power…….

Seol So-yeong pondered.

About what kind of choice the writer of 927 must make to bring about a situation where Yoo Yeon-jeong says that it is the worst situation.

For example……

“Soyoung! Congrats on your graduation!”

It was then.

A female student from the same class approached Seol So-young.

As the girl confidently approached Seol So-young, the other students who had been watching her began to slowly gather around her.

Actually, Seol So-yeong did not know much about her classmates.

Because of the drama filming, she couldn’t attend her school often.

It was especially bad during my sophomore year when I filmed Welcome Cafe Violet and Fly High.

Nevertheless, the reason why other students flock to her is simply because the existence of Seol So-yeong itself is the object of admiration for the students.

She starred in all the dramas that are heating up the world, and she is a popular actress who is sweeping away all the awards in progress.

It’s amazing to have such a person in the same age, but even in the same school or class?

It is natural to want to share one last word. In the beginning, not only her class, but also her hallway were full of students waiting to see her.

“I will definitely watch all the works you appear in in the future.”

“Hey, hey. Wouldn’t it be natural if you didn’t say that directly? Already, I’m perusing Soyoung’s work once a day.”

“hahahaha. Thanks everyone.”

Seol So-young grinned and she chatted with them. Even on her part, she had no reason to push away her friends who approached her with her favor towards her.

At the time of the last conversation before the graduation ceremony, a student suddenly said this.

“By the way, will the next work appear in the work of the 927 artist?”

At this, Soyoung shook her head.

It was because nothing was confirmed about her appearance in the next film yet.

“Hey, why are you asking such a question out of the blue?”

“No, if you look at the community these days, there are rumors that the author of 927 is retiring.”

“…… 927 The author is retiring? Why? It’s in the best of times, but that doesn’t make sense.”

“That’s why I asked just in case. So-Young would be well aware of this rumor.”

After those words, the eyes of the students immediately focused on Seol So-young.

Definitely.

The girl in front of you is the only actress who has starred in all of the works of the 927 writer.

Only the two of them know what kind of conversation took place between them, but what is certain is that Seol So-young, the actor closest to the author of 927 in the world, is certain.

“… ….”

However, Seol So-yeong was also unable to give an appropriate answer.

Ironically, she is an actress who is closest to the writer of 927 and has a lot of conversations with him, but it was the first time even her had heard about her retirement.

In the first place, the 927 artist doesn’t talk much about himself. She probably won’t tell her what’s inside her first unless she asks her directly.

Perhaps, unless something drastic has changed between us… ….

From the moment that thought came to mind, an uneasy feeling began to rise inside Seol So-young.

Before she was surrounded by students in her head, the problem she was thinking about overlapped with the conversation she had just had.

If…….

Really if…….

If the author of 927 retires like this, wouldn’t that be the closest to the worst situation that Director Yoo Yeon-jeong said?

Now, the status of the 927 artist is increasing day by day. However, if he announces his intention to retire for a legitimate reason, no one has any justification or means to stop it.

However, what Seol So-yeong was worried about was a little different.

He knows the 927 writer who likes and loves dramas more than anyone else.

However, if he gave up and decided to retire…….

‘Yes. I’m not sure yet.’

Students slowly start moving to the auditorium for the graduation ceremony, and Seol So-young leaves the classroom for the last time.

She kept thinking no, but Seol So-young went to the graduation ceremony with a little anxiety.

But in the end, her anxiety got bigger and bigger as time went on, and she finally sent a text message to the 927 writer.

***

Write…….

Time flies quickly, tomorrow is already the entrance ceremony for Hanbit Art High School, and a serious problem has arisen.

“What are you really sending?”

After the graduation ceremony, I’ve been thinking about it until now, but I can’t quite figure out how to send a text message about retirement first.

Actually, I think this is because the way we talked until now has been too one-sided.

It feels like the other side always sends a text message first and the conversation continues naturally, but they suddenly step on it because I’m retiring.

That’s just the right way to talk to a madman.

I let out a deep sigh and continued writing and erasing text messages for a while.

Giying-

At that time, the cell phone I was holding vibrated.

[There is a rumor that the writer is retiring…… Is it really true?]

As always, the message that I contacted first today without fail.

Despite her young age as a middle school student, she debuted as the heroine of my first work and showed her acting skills, sweeping all awards that year. Now she is a popular actress representing Korea and I am possessed The main character of the world in a drama.

It was Seol So-young who heard about my retirement somewhere.

Well, if you search the community these days, it’s full of stories about me.

It seems like I’m tired of saying “Why aren’t you releasing another work?”, And rumors of his retirement are starting to spread.

Obviously, rumors like that circulated last year as well, but they were completely buried because of Itaewon Revolution.

What… It won’t end with mere rumors now.

Anyway.

Over the past few years, Seol So-young and I have become close enough to have personal contact as exchanges have become frequent due to the relationship between a drama writer and an actor.

To be honest, the female lead in the dramas I wrote was always her, so in a way, we had to interact more often.

Hmm?

But why did you only use Seol So-yeong for the female lead role?

Well, except for Itaewon Revolution, the previous two dramas were all created thanks to her.

Should I express myself as a being commonly called a muse?

Write…….

But if she finds out about this embarrassing fact…….

Ooh…….

I seriously feel like committing suicide.

[It’s a temporary retirement, but it’s like that for circumstances. I think I will completely withdraw from drama work for the time being.]

[…] … What’s the matter? If you have any difficulties, please tell me. I’ll help you somehow.]

Giying-

As soon as you send a reply, your phone vibrates instantly.

After reading the contents, it seems that he is fully prepared to help even though he has never seen his face.

Honestly, the daughter of the president of Jeil Electronics, a global conglomerate, and now a popular actress, her wealth must be beyond imagination.

Just.

It wasn’t because of the money issue, so I replied firmly.

[It’s not a big deal, so don’t worry too much. Also, Soyoung should appear in works by other writers besides me. It will definitely be a good experience.]

I felt sorry for the moment while sending the text message. Come to think of it, she has only appeared in my works until now.

Ah.

There was a time when I expressed my intention to appear in another work, but there was also a time when I threatened (?) That I would never do it.

At that time, I did it out of a sincere heart for her, but I wondered if there would be quite a bit of her core left.

Um…….

It seems too shameless to hand over an apology even now…….

In the first place, since the big link between her as a drama writer and an actress has disappeared, there was no reason for her or me to exchange text messages like we do now.

Yes. At least until I get back to 927…….

In the first place, Seol So-young now enters Yeong-gwang High School, the main background of ‘Couple Like a Flower’.

For the time being, you will be extremely busy, with no time to think about me.

Then…….

“You mean it’s finally over. This relationship.”

I tapped the cell phone’s keypad thoughtfully with a bitter smile.

Even though I couldn’t apologize for the circumstances, I wanted to give one last word of support.

[Thank you for appearing in the drama I wrote, starting with my first work. From now on, I will support Soyoung as a fan, not as a 927 artist. Enough then.]

This should be enough, right?

I sent the message like that and immediately turned off the screen of my phone. It vibrated as if there was an immediate reply, but I ignored it and lay down on the bed.

“Whoa… ….”

The current time is 10:30 PM.

It could be said that it was a bit early for sleep, but I intended to go to sleep as soon as possible.

After all, tomorrow is the high school entrance ceremony.

I fell asleep in an instant, and when I opened my eyes again, it was 6 am. It was also worthwhile to fall asleep early.

…… What.

But when I opened my eyes, the room was strangely bright.

The reason was that the screen of the mobile phone that I exchanged text messages with Seol So-young yesterday was still shining.

In case you didn’t know, I checked my phone and saw this notification first.

“…… Under?”

There were so many text messages and missed calls that my drowsiness disappeared in an instant.

All of that came from one person, Seol So-yeong, all night……

What is it?

Why is this woman who hadn’t called me once in my life suddenly frightening?
