A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 63
At the entrance of the Achasan Mountain Trail, Jo Geun-young saw me and waved her hand. I waved my hand and approached her. Think about your juniors for now.
“It’s been a while. Geun Young Mr. Have you been waiting a long time?”
“no. I’m here too.”
Jo Geun-young’s expression was bright and her voice was refreshing. It must have been a sign that Lee Dong-min’s condition was very good.
“By the way, Dongmin-san…”
looked around Because Lee Dong-min was nowhere to be seen.
“I went up first. If you have something to think about on your own. See you at the top.”
“Oh yeah?”
For a moment, I felt sad that ‘Jung Joo-hak’ was moving away from me.
While hiding it from leading actors like Gam Woo-hyuk and Min Yu-ri, did I think that maybe I was the only one occupied with him?
But I soon lost my mood. Since Lee Dong-min took on the role of ‘Jung Joo-hak’, obviously he left my hand.
“Then shall we go up?”
“yes. Yes.”
I started climbing the mountain while listening to the morning sun and the sound of birdsong.
“It’s refreshing because it’s been a while since I took a phytoncide shower.”
“Me too. Last time I came with my brother once, but just being in the mountains made my worries and worries disappear.”
“Did Dongmin go up alone first?”
“Ah yes. These days, Dongmin’s brother only has ‘Jung Juhak’ in his head. I’m not interested in anything other than how to become a more perfect ‘Jung Joo-hak’. I am rather grateful.”
“yes. I am also grateful.”
I felt Lee Dong-min, who is becoming a ‘Jung Joo-hak’ by changing everything he has.
I wanted to meet him sooner, so I walked faster without realizing it.
“Writer. If you speed up like that, you will get very tired later.”
“Aha, it’s fine. I also go for a lot of walks these days.”
“No matter how low Achasan is, it is still a mountain.”
“I can’t stand it because I miss Lee Dong-min. Hurry up, manager.”
heh heh heh
It was a little out of breath, but it was chewing gum.
As I diligently took one step at a time, it became normal.
‘You’re finally meeting Lee Dong-min.’
Let’s go round the last corner,
A man lying on a rock with an arm pillow and swallowing the sun.
I saw Lee Dong-min.
“Five···”
Cho Geun-young tried to call me, so I quickly stopped him. Because I didn’t want to interfere with him photosynthesizing freely.
“I’ll let Dong-min enjoy the sunlight for a bit.”
“Yes, I guess.”
He quietly approached Lee Dong-min. Then I lay down next to him, closed my eyes, and enjoyed some sunlight.
My whole body feels warm and tired right away, and I wondered if there was more healing than this.
After a while, I opened my eyes.
Because I had a strong feeling that I wanted to open up.
‘Mistress, I’m surprised.’
Lee Dong-min was staring at me.
“Ah, long time no see. Mr. Dongmin.”
“yes. Long time no see. Writer.”
Surprised, he quickly sat down and held out his hand. He took my hand with a faint smile.
It was still dry, but I could feel the warm energy.
‘You are very healthy.’
It was fortunate that he seemed to have recovered his health.
“Are you feeling a little better? Well, it looks good at first glance.”
“I haven’t taken any drugs since I read your script.”
Lee Dong-min takes out a medicine bag with the word ‘if necessary’ from his pocket.
“I always carry this bag with me when I need it just in case, but I haven’t needed it yet. On the contrary, I think the author’s script is more effective. Sometimes, without any notice, when I feel anxious, I feel calm like a lie when I read the script.”
“Oh really?”
“Yes, it sinks strangely.”
He smiled and nodded his head.
It felt good that my writing was more effective than medicine.
“Then, can I see only a piece of acting?”
I had already heard from director Oh Sang-sik that Lee Dong-min’s acting was crazy, but I wanted to see it with my own eyes. to what extent
Now is the time to see it with my own eyes.
It is also the purpose of today’s meeting.
“It’s a bit out of the ordinary at the top of the mountain, but please.”
I politely asked once more,
Lee Dong-min thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Then, before Joo-hak Jeong wakes up, there’s a line about getting drunk with an uncle who works just like that.”
“yes.”
I know it well because I wrote it.
“I’ll try that scene.”
“yes. Please.”
The smoke started as soon as the words fell.
Lee Dong-min didn’t even hesitate.
In an instant, he turned into a ‘Jung Joo-hak’ who fell into the depths of despair.
“Mister, my life… from beginning to end… is a tragedy from beginning to end. Everything is a jumbled mess. never been right hahaha, really By the way… by the way. That’s… I guess my misfortune is a comedy to others. The people I know… always come to see me when they’re having a hard time. And everyone rest assured. Still, I think I’m better than that guy. Damn, those people’s eyes are saying that. everything is everything Mr….just like the look in your eyes now.”
breathtaking thrill.
‘Whoa. Overwhelmed. To the extent that it takes my breath away.’
Every word of ‘Jeong Ju-hak’ that Lee Dong-min spat out became a noose and put pressure on my neck.
“And after waking up…”
Lee Dong-min was explaining the next scene, but I waved my hand and refused.
“no. it’s okay. I can’t see any more. That alone is enough.”
“Then, are you successful?”
Lee Dong-min makes a refreshing joke and smiles.
“yes. Yes. Of course, it was a pass from the beginning.”
“hahaha. thank you.”
until you laugh out loud.
It was as if he had recovered both physically and mentally.
“Mr. Dongmin. Finally, next week, we will hold our drama production presentation.”
“I know.”
“Then, I apologize in advance. Like the last script reading, I think it will be difficult to attend this time as well. Because Dongmin is our drama’s secret weapon.”
“yes. I’ll hide tighter. Thinking only of that moment when you will make a splendid appearance and surprise everyone.”
In particular, Yoo Jeong-an from ＜Office Battle＞.
You tried to trample it, but Lee Dong-min stepped on the pain and became a deeper actor. I’ll probably black out.
“From episode 7, when Dongmin appears, Opalju will be flying high with wings.”
“Wow, just thinking about it makes me thrilled. Writer.”
“I am thrilled even at this moment.”
Because of the ‘jeongjuhak’ you showed me.
The success of ＜Right Arm Co., Ltd.＞ was right in front of my eyes.
***
The office of the magazine ‘Fact N’.
Joo Yoo-jung, a reporter from the entertainment department, was filming every corner of the office with her newly acquired high-performance camera in her seat by the window where the sun was shining.
I pressed the zoom button and pulled the door all the way, and the faint coffee stains on the shirt of the manager who had just entered came in clearly.
‘Good. That’s enough to pass.’
Ju Yoo-jeong had a smile on her lips as if she liked the performance of the camera.
Hwang Jeong-hoo, the newcomer, approached and carefully opened his mouth.
“Me, senior. It is time to go now.”
“What time did you say there was a production presentation?”
Joo Yoo-jeong asked, with her gaze still on the camera lens.
“＜Office Battle＞ is held at the Grand Feel Hotel at 11 o’clock and ＜Right Hand Co., Ltd.＞ is held at 1 o’clock at the Eastern Koryo Hotel in Seo-gu.”
“Do you know what you are covering today?”
“Yes, all you need to do is to cover the entire cast and interview related to the drama. I understood the basic information about the drama.”
“What is the direction of the investigation?”
“It fits the plot of the two dramas, ＜Office Battle＞ and ＜Right Arm Co., Ltd.＞.”
“right. Can you do it?”
Joo Yoo-jung took her eyes off the lens and stared at Hwang Jung-hoo.
to sober up.
“yes. You can do well.”
“great. We’ll be leaving in ten minutes, so make sure to pack your coverage equipment. You know I forgot one, right?”
“all right.”
While Hwang Jung-hoo went back to her seat and got her equipment back, Joo Yu-jeong turned on her laptop.
Play the behind-the-scenes video of ＜The Summer of Twenty-One＞.
‘Yoo Jung-an. I won’t miss it this time.’
In the video, Joo Yoo-jeong’s eyes became sharper as she looked at Lee Dong-min and Yoo Jung-an.
In the scene where Lee Dong-min kisses another actor under a zelkova tree on a rainy day, he looks nervous and stiff from the start. The other actor makes jokes to ease the awkwardness, but he doesn’t even laugh.
When the filming started, Lee Dong-min hesitated and looked somewhere without kissing. At the end of that line of sight is Yoo Jung-an.
Yoo Jeong-an shakes his head while drawing an expression.
And the director’s NG that comes without fail!
Dong-Min Lee is in agony, not knowing what to do, and Jung-Ahn Yoo smiles broadly.
‘Obviously the same direction at the same time. Lee Dong-min is following Yoo Jung-an’s instructions. I’m sure But I got away at the last minute.’
Last year, Joo Yoo-jung was preparing an article on ‘Yoo Jeong-an’s Gaslighting’. There were secret rumors, and I even caught evidence at the filming site of ＜Twenty-One Summer＞.
However, at some point, Lee Dong-min did not follow Yoo Jung-an’s instructions and had no choice but to overthrow the article. I was caught in the trap of Yoo Jeong-an, but I think I managed to escape by myself.
Fortunately, though,
In any case, because of that, reporter Joo Yoo-jeong was unable to publish an article.
‘A similar thing will happen in this ＜Office Battle＞. Perhaps it will be the case with actor Jin Hong-seop. Because the pattern is similar. This time, the evidence is collected more closely from the beginning.’
Yoojung Ju once again checked the lens of the newly purchased camera.
***
The Grand Phil Hotel, where the production presentation of ＜Office Battle＞ will be held, was crowded with actors, drama officials and reporters.
The event hadn’t even started officially yet, but the actors who came first were standing on the stage and the camera flash was flashing from time to time.
“Wow, that’s awesome. There are a lot of actors and a lot of reporters.”
New reporter Hwang Jeong-hoo took the stage photos and told senior reporter Joo Yoo-jung.
“So, be careful. Today, I think you’re doing the coverage alone without me. You can also write the article yourself later.”
“Me?”
“If you hear something from the manager, do it.”
“Who are you?”
“I have something to investigate.”
In Joo Yoo-jung’s head, only Yoo Jung-an and gaslighting.
I was just thinking of completing an article I couldn’t finish last year.
‘Yoo Jeong-an. This time I can’t get out like a loach.’
at that time,
click- click-
click-

The camera flash explodes like rain showers with a buzzing sound.
“Oh, it’s finally here. female protagonist. Yoo Jeong-an.”
With Hwang Jung-hoo’s admiration, Yoo Jung-an appeared with a bright smile. She skillfully waves to reporters and greets them politely.
Everyone was falling in love with that kind of Yoo Jung-an.
Among them, Hwang Jung-hoo is more. I was a newcomer with little experience.
“senior. Yoo Jung-an is really pretty. Much better than what you see on TV. It’s almost blinding.”
“Hey, calm down. We have the same number of eyes, nose, mouth, and ears as we do, and we eat and fart the same.”
“a. senior!”
Hwang Jung-hoo is leaking steam.
“You are a journalist. You have to learn to look inside, not just look at the gorgeous exterior.”
“Since the talk of farts came out of the senior’s mouth, the glamorous appearance has disappeared.”
“It’s fine. Anyway, I’m very busy from now on, so today’s article is for you to take care of yourself.”
“Yes, senior.”
Stop talking now.
Joo Yoo-jung focused the camera on Yoo Jung-an and Jin Hong-seop.
Hong-seop Jin, who had been on the stage in advance, chats with other actors,
Yoo Jung-an comes up and notices it.
Then, Jin Hong-seop cut off the conversation and stared straight ahead with an expressionless expression!
‘I got it right.’
Joo Yoo-jeong’s camera didn’t miss a single one of them.

The site of the production presentation of ＜Right Arm Co., Ltd.＞ at Eastern Koryo Hotel in Seo-gu.
Drama highlights were unfolding before the full-scale event. It was a short edited video of 3 minutes from episode 1 to 4,
Expectations were overflowing with the thrilling acting of Kam Woo-hyuk and Min Yu-ri.
hahaha
ha ha ha
Laughter bursts out as the action and comic of ‘Gil Byung-soo’ Woo-hyeok Gam harmonize.
In particular, when Kam Woo-hyeok spoke the Masan dialect, everyone made a surprised expression.
Wow.
wow
“Are you really Min Yuri?”
“I think I did it myself without any stunts.”
“Yeah.”
In addition, when Min Yu-ri, “Han Ji-hyeon”, performed an acrobatic pursuit action, admiration burst out regardless of who came first.
There was a big uproar in the hall.
clap clap
clap clap
After the highlight video,
Led by director Oh Sang-shik, Kam Woo-hyeok, Min Yu-ri and I went on stage to applause from reporters.
After that, moderator Baek Soo-rim also appeared.
“Ah yes. I saw it well. It’s so cool that my heart pierces my heart just looking at the trailer. Now, shall we proceed with the full-fledged interview?”
“yes.”
“yes.”
We greeted each other with bright smiles and prepared for the interview.
But before asking the question, Baek Soo-rim gives a worried expression.
