Chapter 48

Episode 048: The White Intellect (5)

-Look at me~ Look at me~ Look at me~

The cell phone rang. It was a loud ringing that I had never heard of.

People in the subway looked at me at the same time.

I probably wouldn’t have set such a loud ringtone, so it was obviously Kim’s fault.

I hurriedly pulled out my phone and lowered the ringer. And I checked the caller.

[Yuna ^_^]

····Boa Hani seems to have been playing around with borrowing a cell phone.

Somehow, when he returned the phone, he was smiling nervously. I let out a small sigh and pressed the call button.

OK.

[Oh, sir! Really take me too! Really, really, really, really, really, really! If you had taken me, you wouldn’t have just cheered me on!]

Yuna Kim’s voice broke out. From the moment he found out that I was going to be appearing on the show, he sang to take me too, and it seemed that he knew how the filming date was and called.

I put a smile on my face as I imagined the scene where he was running around.

“Did you finish your homework?”

when i ask I heard the guy growl.

[Sheesh. That’s already been done right away. A. I wanted to go out and watch TV. maybe you know Did you immediately enter the entertainment industry after being cast in a girl group?]

There was a reason why he begged me to take him every time he saw me all week. It looks like he was having an illusory dream.

However.

‘I’m sure Na-yoon Son is next to me and I’m sure I’ll be cast.’

It seems to be popular in school, and it is true that my broadcast viewers have a crush on Yuna, but that was only among the general public.

If the opponent was Na-yoon Son… Maybe you don’t know, but wouldn’t it have been seen as one of the members of the fish tank, not a girl group?

It was when he shook his head like that and washed away his vague imagination.

[By the way, Sam. Have you ever hugged Na-yoon Son?]

The guy spoke in a tone that didn’t suit him well.

A smirk leaked out.

I did something else, and I think he heard a story floating around on social media too.

In fact, I didn’t know it either, but I knew what the challengers were saying in the waiting room.

“no.”

As I spoke lightly, his voice returned to normal.

[Oh yes? Na-yoon Son also made a promise on SNS, is it true?]

But he started asking again if he was not sure.

I said to him with a slight click of my tongue.

“What would you do if I lied to you? At first, I wasn’t interested in that.”

Then, over the receiver, Kim Yu-na’s laugh was heard.

[Ah, let’s be honest. Still, it’s Na-yoon Son. Didn’t he just want to, but he didn’t get away with it?]

Yuna Kim chattered in her light voice. Then, before I could even say anything, I was just pouring out what I had to say.

[To be honest, did you want to? Yes? It’s not anyone else, it’s Son Na-yoon, of course. Women look pretty, but why don’t men do it more? Ehehe, what can our teacher Junyoung do?]

let me sleep The voice of the guy who was pouring out cool things to say gradually diminishes.

[Oh, this is the time when a counterattack with a cold voice should fly? Ummm… Sir, are you really heartbroken because you couldn’t be with Na-yoon Son? Could it be Kim Jun-young from heaven? Isn’t it? Yes?]

It seems that he is suddenly worried, and his voice becomes low.

Then eventually.

[··· Ai-sama! Son Na-yoon What do you say! I don’t even know how pretty I am! I’ll give you a hug like that later, so don’t be too depressed!]

When I saw a guy who couldn’t play drums and janggu by himself and poured out a jajinmori rhythm, it was ridiculous and only laughter came out.

“Think of it.”

When I said snoring, he said that his voice was depressed. Where are you? When I was depressed, I started listing useless words such as needing someone to comfort me.Then.

As the subway got closer to Mapo Station, a broadcast came from the speaker in the car.

[···Yeah, I think I just heard the word Mapo? Mapo Bridge? Oh no sir!]

However, when Yuna Kim hears the sound, her room begins to open. This time, she wanted to pay tribute to the guy’s delusion.

No, what should I think, she’s coming to the idea of ​​going to Mapo Bridge that no one has ever hugged her.

Maybe the writer should be this guy, not Ilhan.

“. . . cut off.”

Then the guy shouts.

[Oh, don’t stop! No!]

drip-

From the moment he removed the phone from his ear, he seemed to be imagining nonsense.

He puts the turned-off phone in his pocket and looks out the window. The night view of Seoul hit the subway car window and crashed.

and far away. I can see the light of the Yeouido KSB building where I was just a few minutes ago.

Slowly recall what happened.

* * *

The set was quiet.

The audience who chatted with the person next to him throughout the filming time, and the staff who were going to and from the set without a break, all stood still, waiting for the end of this magnificent race that lasted nearly four hours.

That’s where people’s eyes go.

A place illuminated by the two lights that survived to the end.

There were two challengers who were taking people’s attention with ease.

“Come on, everyone.”

The MC slowly began to open his mouth. Then, the eyes of the people who were facing the two challengers turned to the MC.

“Now it’s a 13-step problem. If you think about it, it makes you wonder if there has ever been such a sparkly confrontation since the beginning of the white supremacy. But now that dazzling showdown seems to be heading for the finale.”

As it is a 13-step problem, the MC, who was running the program with a slightly playful attitude, continued to talk in a serious way.

“Who will be the winner? Is it the 16th challenger at a large law firm who won the battle between humanities and science? Or is it the 17th challenger of Yo-Tuber who was a perfect scorer?”

Then people start screaming. It is a fact that Lee Hyung-sik is a member of a large law firm, but he did not know that Kim Jun-young was a perfect scorer.

All of this happened because the MC skipped Junyoung’s interview earlier.

People’s dissatisfaction is drawn towards the MC who neglected to pass on important information.

However, whether people throw dissatisfaction or not, the MC concentrates on the progress.

“The end of the long wait. Who will take the white supremacist’s seat? Now the curtain of that decisive battle is up!”

Let the camera gaze towards the screen. The crowd erupts in cheers and applause.

MC let the people’s cheers diminish slightly. He points to the screen with moderation.

“Now then, give me a problem!”

Perhaps you think this will be the last declaration. It was a loud and firm voice.

OK.

A problem appeared on the screen.

[Step 13. What is the correct notation for ?? in

1. to

2. Egg

3. Ecchi

Moment.

A groan-like sound came from among those who saw the problem. It was because it was a simple-looking problem for a 13-step problem.

But after a while, people nodded and agreed to the difficulty of the problem.

‘difficult.’

The audience thought. A very short question It was a simple prophetic question, but it was a question that could not be easily answered.

If you are not normally fluent in Korean, you can’t help but be wrong.

No, it was a problem that could be more difficult for someone who vaguely learned Korean.

‘Then what about the contenders?’

Naturally, the eyes of the audience turned to the challengers.



Then an unexpected sight unfolded before their eyes.

“·················ogue.”

There, Lee Hyung-sik, who had never shown any displeasure before, was solving problems with a troubled face.

On the contrary.

Another challenger, Kim Jun-young, was waiting for Lee Hyung-sik with a very relaxed expression.

“Okay, ten seconds left. Again, if you do not choose an answer within 30 seconds, you will be automatically rejected.”

The MC announced the last remaining time. Then there was a look of impatience on Lee Hyung-sik’s expression.

He closed his eyes and seemed to think for a moment, then, when he had about three seconds left, he lightning-fastened his answer. Then, he looked at Kim Jun-young with a refreshed expression.

30 seconds passed like that.

The MC nodded his head and opened his mouth.

“Yes. Even the 16th contender, who was a little worried, chose the answer.”

Then he slowly looked at the challengers and said:

“This question may be the last question for today, so this time we will proceed with a slightly different method of checking the answers.”

The MC looks at the two of them.

“Before checking the correct answer, I would like to check the answers of the two challengers. What are their opinions?”

Perhaps because it was the last question, he seemed to want to check the answer first rather than quickly check the answer.

When the MC asked the two of them, they immediately nodded without hesitation. Then the MC laughed loudly.

“Yes. Both of them readily agreed. Then, I will check the answers of the two challengers first.”

I even look at the two of them.

“Now then, the challengers’ answers! Show me!”

As soon as the MC finished speaking. The two’s answers appeared on the small screen in their place.

Moments later, sighs erupted from the mouths of those who confirmed their answers.

“Ah! The two answers differed. Contestant Lee Hyung-sik chose ‘Egg’, and challenger Kim Jun-young chose ‘Egg’.”

The MC said it was sad.

Then, Joon-young and Hyung-gyeong looked at each other.

Now it’s clear.

One will survive and become white, and the other will have to leave this place alone.

Everyone on the set looked at them and waited for the final winner.

“Now, let’s check the answer. It really will be the last time. Please show me the answer to step 13!”

When the MC speaks, the lights turn off all at once, and only the screen shines.

And soon the correct answer to the 13-step question appears on the screen.

The answer is.

number 3.

‘Eye’

The moment when everyone checks the correct answer. The sound of applause and shouts of people erupted from the audience.

Everyone at the filming set, as well as the already eliminated contenders and Son Na-yoon, celebrated the birth of the new winner.

“Everyone, at last, a white intellectual was born. The winner of the total prize money of 23.65 million won is the challenger Jun-Young Kim! Congratulations!”

Hearing the MC’s words, Junyoung slowly looked around.

Then he slowly bowed his head to thank those who congratulated him.

* * *

When you are out in front of a broadcasting station after filming is over.

“I learned a lot about this.”I heard someone’s voice behind my back.

When I turned around, I saw lawyer Lee Hyung-sik, with a smile on his face, asking for a handshake.

I said to him, clasping his outstretched hand.

“It’s overrated.”

Then, when he smiled kindly, he opened his mouth.

“Actually, I didn’t know much about the teacher, but when I asked the writers a while ago, I heard that last year’s SAT was perfect. And now you are attending Seoyul University…”

As I nod my head, his expression brightens to perfection.

“Good for you. I also went to Seoyul University. Let’s keep in touch with our alumni in the future.”

Then he took out his business card and handed it to me.

When I received his business card and checked it, the name of a leading law firm in Korea was written on it.

‘Jo & Yoon Law Firm. Attorney Lee Hyung-sik.’

It was a place where people on the express train bound for Hell would be rescued (if you gave them money). Looking at him with a new look, he smiles and opens his mouth.

“Anyway, I was really surprised. And thank you.”

He says scratching his head.

“It would have been really difficult to deny that… so resolutely…”

“Ah.”

Looking at it, it seemed like he was talking about something that happened when we were taking a photo to commemorate the championship.

a few minutes ago.

We were preparing for a commemorative photo of the winner.

‘Congratulations on winning!’

Son Na-yoon, who I thought had disappeared first because of the schedule, spoke to me.

Then I could feel the people around me looking at Na-yoon Son with their eyes shining.

They looked at me and her with her eyes full of envy and her anticipation.

‘thank you. Na-yoon Son also worked hard.’

‘Hey, what is it? It’s because I took the entrance exam right next door.’

After finishing her words, Na-yun’s hand opened her arms wide toward me.

‘Ahem! Then let’s fulfill our promise!’

Then she slowly began to approach.

She smiles brightly as if she doesn’t like herself that much.

Then you can feel the piercing gazes from all directions around you. Lives that seem to divide me into five parts at any moment. In particular, Jo Min-soo’s gaze in the distance was unique.

‘············.

Lawyer Lee Hyung-sik, who fought with me until the end, was also looking at me with a sad expression.

However.

‘Oh, that’s fine. The prize money has already been won.’

I raised her palm toward Na-yun Son, and bowed politely.

‘I’m not even a fan of Na-yoon Son, but it’s too much to enjoy this opportunity. I think the other person would be more suited to this glory.’

I reached out to Lee Hyung-sik, who was standing on one side of the set.

‘············.

For a moment, Na-yoon Son’s face darkened. But like a pro, he quickly regains his expression and smiles. Then, this type of face brightens.



Very simple toss.

It was useless anyway, so it’s best to hand it over to someone who can buy it at a high price.

just like this

“Thank you so much for today. If you contact us later, we will take care of any case for free once, so please do not feel burdened and contact us at any time.”

One-time free use of Jo & Yoon Law Office. It’s best not to have a relationship with a lawyer, but…

‘Because I don’t know what it is to be human.’

Anyway, it was a business that remained in many ways.
