A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 6
Ji So-young was asking if I was a writer with curious eyes. But I couldn’t answer easily and only wiggled my mouth. I think I’d be disappointed if I said that I was a sub-writer for some kind of entertainment. But what about saying that you are an aspiring drama writer?
I’m trying to figure out how to answer…
“The author is right. entertainment writer. But I’m also writing dramas, so I’m going to become a drama writer soon.”
I heard a familiar voice behind me. When he came, Han-gyeol was answering for me.
“Hey, you… you come on time, don’t you?”
It’s nice to see Han-gyeol after a long time, so I screamed without realizing it. It was nice to hear that you answered so well.
“mind. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a best friend, but punctuality is basic.”
Ji So-young’s eyes widened in surprise at the unexpected situation.
“Are you two friends?”
“yes.”
At the same time, he nodded.
Han-gyeol added to Ji So-young, who was bewildered.
“Soyoung, have you ever seen ‘Challenge is Fun’?”
“Absolutely. It’s my favorite program. I relieve all the stress of the week by watching it.”
“More than half of the ideas out there come from his head.”
Han-gyeol tapped her head with her finger and cast her gaze on me. Then Ji So-young’s gaze naturally fell on me.
“Wow, really? For some reason, the way you type is unusual.”
Ji So-young’s mouth was wide open.
“Baby, it’s not like that. He is talking nonsense.”
“What is it? Everything you told me came out.”
He waved his hand and trembled in humility, and Han Kyul-yi nailed it. Ji So-young smiled broadly while clapping her hands.
“The author is great. It wasn’t the first time I’ve admired how he came to think like that while watching that show.”
“thank you.”
It was a little embarrassing, but seeing how Ji So-young liked her shrugged her shoulders.
Customers lined up to see if it was lunchtime in earnest. Ji So-young put on a sad expression,
“I have to go to work now. Author. See you next time.”
back to the counter
When Ji So-young disappeared, I immediately looked at Han-gyeol.
“Hey, you talked nonsense.”
“what? Did I say something wrong?”
I was criticized, but it wasn’t too bad. Because I definitely planted the impression that I was a good person to Ji So-young, who might be the heroine of my drama.
“You haven’t had breakfast, have you?”
The guy took care of my stomach first.
“Why are you eating breakfast when you’re going to have lunch?”
“Hey, I’m going to have dinner then, so why eat lunch? I don’t know anything else, but I have to take care of all three meals a day.”
“We are the same as we were in the primitive age, so we can eat whenever we want. See you, let’s have lunch. I will order and come.”
“I ordered everything. Sandwiches, salads, and even ade. Since your brother lives, eat it with gratitude.”
“Hey, I live.”
“Buy something more expensive next time.”
“···anyway.”
Light is a drama in my Seoul life. Salt is the best. Without this guy, I don’t think I would have been able to graduate from high school properly. I’ve been taking care of my meals like that since I was in school, and it’s still there when I’m a 31-year-old man.
“No, but why is the guy who eats all three meals a day so skinny? Are you busy?”
Come to think of it, Han Kyul’s face was half.
“Rather than working hard, now that the personnel transfer is approaching, I’m trying my best to make even one more performance.”
“Oh oh. So, are you being represented now?”
It’s time for the moon deputy.
A company I entered at the age of 27 after graduating from the military. If it’s been 4 years or so.
“You have to wait and see if you will become a substitute or a substitute.”
“Honestly, I’m not saying you’re my friend, you have talent. He’s quick-witted, flattering, good at talking, and a true three-year-old. So, I will be promoted this time.”
“Is this kid really… a genius?”
“Kuk-ku.”
laughed bitterly
Then I remembered seeing the news about Han Kyul’s company in an internet article, so I asked a sneak peek.
“right. There was an article about your Ping Pong doing OTT. The name is Ping Pong Plus.”
“Ugh. I’m still upset because of it. If you get caught there, you are certain to go to hell.”
Hanil’s expression suddenly darkened.
“To Hell? why?”
“If it is long, it will explode within 3 years, if it is short, within 1 year. If it explodes, everyone who was there will either be fired or go straight to a job.”
He shuddered two or three times as if he had been caught in that hell.
“Still, these days, OTT continues to grow and has a great potential for future development, but can it really go bankrupt that easily? Also, your company’s financial strength is competitive enough, and your organization isn’t that weak.”
I only counted the positive and good aspects. with a third eye.
“right. A goose that lays golden eggs if done well. In particular, it has been proven that Korean content works in the world… That’s why it’s more of a problem.”
“yes?”
“If you, a stranger to the business, know that the OTT industry is doing well, that means the market is already saturated. They are also coming in from abroad one by one. It’s a complete over-bleeding infinite race. The Golden Box, which was made by the cable association, is also said to be acquired by Vibe at a cumulative deficit.”
“Where else are you in business? Everything is competitive and difficult.”
When I couldn’t agree easily, Han Kyul-yi stuck to me and lowered her voice as if she had made up her mind. As if to divulge even a top secret.
He put his ear close to Han Kyul’s mouth as if attracted to a magnet.
“But there is another reason why our company has no choice but to go bankrupt.”
“At once. Not even one.”
“Yeah, that’s… Ping Pong Plus is not a business that a company starts by systematically researching…”
“then?”
“… The president’s daughter wanted to do it, so it was made in a hurry. In other words, it would be a mess.”
Han-gyeol pulled back again with a look of whether she understood now.
I didn’t understand at first glance, so I tilted my head. How much money or manpower is required for such a big business, but it is swayed by the words of the chairman’s daughter?
“No way… but if it’s ping pong, it’s our country’s logistics tower, so is it that lax?”
“Anyway, it’s an established fact that the chief executive officer of Ping Pong Plus is the president’s daughter. It seems that even the president can’t handle it, but it’s scary to think of how selfish he is. Rumors are not good within the company.”
On the day Han Kyul was assigned to Ping Pong Plus, people clicked their tongues as if they felt sorry for them. Then, thinking that one of them might be him, his complexion darkened again.
Something like that happened at the company, so my face was cut in half. As a friend, even if it had no nutritional value, I had to say a word of comfort.
“don’t worry. You will never go there because you are truly exhausted.”
“thank you. But… let’s stop talking about horror. sucked up.”
“I get it. Oh. And this.”
To change the topic and enjoy the challenge, we brought out the Guldari Song Festival album signed by Piljae Yoo. It was an album that Han Kyul had already packed to give to his younger brother, Dasom Choi.
Dasomi is a baby brother who is 13 years older than us and is a huge fan of Piljae Yoo and Guldari Song Festival. So every year, when there is a Guldari Song Festival, I was giving out an album.
“Oh, Piljae Yoo’s autograph. I love Dasom. Thank you.”
Hangyul’s expression brightened. Because I love my cute baby sister very much.
“When is your debut?”
Dasomi is pretty and has a lot of talent, so she was cast as a trainee in a girl group on the street. Since I was hearing the news that my debut was imminent, I asked about the current situation.
“They said it would be done before Chuseok, but we’ll have to wait and see. It’s been that way since last year. But these days, it’s hard to see Dasom’s face. I almost live in the practice room.”
“I was a baby the first time I saw you. how would it have changed I’m curious.”
“Then come home and play. Mom and Dad are curious about how you are doing.”
When Han Kyul’s parents knew I was living alone in the countryside, they prepared a lot of rice and side dishes. Thank you to the people who used to include family trips and treat you to hearty and delicious food on holidays or birthdays.
“I’m going to see you this Chuseok.”
“okay. come by all means Mom and Dad will love it.”
At that time, Song Seon-ah, the female owner of the cafe, came to the table with food.
“Guest. Food has arrived.”
“Oh, we’re going to go get it.”
We jumped up and stretched out our hands, without anyone telling us first.
“no. Han-gyeol is a regular of ours, and the writer here, by the way, I heard from Soyoung that she is a writer, can I call you that?”
“Yes, of course… I am Yoon Jae-ho.”
“Ah, I’m Song Seon-ah, the president here.”
I accidentally gave a full name, but Song Seon-ah quickly resumed the conversation without any time to be taken aback.
“I’m sorry and thank you. If there is a laundry fee or the laptop has an upper limit, please let me know as well. I’ll take care of the store’s insurance.”
“no. Actually, it didn’t really pop out at all. They had a bad attitude, so I went out a little bit hard.”
“Ah, that’s good.”
Song Seon-ah put one hand on her chest and relieved herself.
“Then enjoy.”
Then he smiled brightly and shook his head to say hello and walked away.
But oh
Han Kyul-yi’s gaze was attached to Song Seon-ah’s back, and she didn’t know it would fall.
“What are you doing?”
“no.”
“let’s eat.”
“okay.”
After I took a bite of the sandwich and drank the ade all the way, his meal began.
oh oh Choi Han-gyeol.
Looks like you’re interested in Mrs. I still don’t know Song Seon-ah’s heart.
***
After breaking up with Han Kyul, I went straight home and turned on the TV. I did what the advertisement told me, but I was very curious to see if the points would come in.
“Oh, there’s an alarm sign.”
At the top of the channel, you could see the alarm indicator flashing. Without hesitation, I pressed it right away.
[You have acquired 60 points for completing an unexpected mission]
Yes! Yes!
He stretched his arms out to the sky and shouted the cheers of victory.
Retained Points: 130 p
The total points were 130.
It wasn’t much, but it was still plenty.
Thinking about what to do now, I put my laptop on the desk with a light heart.
Inspired by a cafe, the one-act play has been extended to three episodes, but it is still a draft. It took a little more time and effort to complete it neatly.
‘If the script is completed quickly, the production will be faster, the airing will be faster, and the actual ratings will come out sooner. That way, you will receive the actual rating points faster. You said that 300 points per month will be deducted from the usage fee, so you need to replenish the points quickly. Not stingy, hot. Then I have no choice but to advance the drama quickly. Then, the script should be completed quickly… Since the skeleton has been established, all you have to do is cut and trim it and craft it.’
I started writing in a state of hyper concentration.
Dadadak-dadak-dadak-
It was dark in the bright room and I had to turn on the light. Although I was hungry, I did not waste time to cook ramen, so I broke it raw and ate it.
All the scenes were like gems, but in particular, Hyeon-se, who tried to bring down Chae-rin by any means, helped Chae-rin, and as a result, gave strength to the scene where Chae-rin became the champion in the barista competition.
#77. Barista Competition Hall (Daytime)
Music with a sense of urgency.
An espresso machine on the left, a worktable on the right, and a judges table connecting the two.
Chaerin skillfully grinds coffee beans in a grinder, tampers, and extracts espresso.
Chaerin: (Putting coffee on the jury table) The experience of espresso is not just to enjoy the taste. You can feel the life you breathe in it. Even the same espresso tastes different depending on the person’s emotions.
Espresso’s body, flavor, and texture will comfort your heart and amplify your emotions…
Hyeon-se’s back, looking at Chaerin from afar. smile happily
epilogue
Chaerin is called the champion at the barista competition and is congratulated by the people. Jung-woo, who had a love line with Chae-rin, approaches and gives him a bouquet of flowers.
The script has finally come to an end. As soon as I hit the final period, I lay down on the floor.
It must have been because he had poured too much energy into it. However, I was curious about how the drama would turn out, so I couldn’t relax.
Gathering all the strength I had, I crawled across the floor and grabbed the remote control.
