Episode 88

 

In fact, Kim Ji-hu was more worried than excited.

 

‘Please, I hope it turned out well.’

 

Not just decent, but it had to turn out well.

 

Otherwise, his blog would be deleted.

 

But it wasn’t like Kim Ji-hu could interfere with the editing.

 

All he could do was pray.

 

Kim Ji-hu sat down and clasped his hands together.

 

‘Please… please let it have turned out well…’

 

Just then, a voice came from beside him.

 

“There’s no need for that.”

 

“Huh?”

 

Kim Ji-hu opened his closed eyes and looked to the side.

 

There he saw Director Cheon Yeong-hu with heavy dark circles under his eyes.

 

“D-Director. Hello.”

 

“You don’t need to pray like that.”

 

“Pardon?”

 

Director Cheon Yeong-hu said once more.

 

“Works aren’t made by God, but by you becoming God and making them yourself.”

 

“What do you mean…”

 

“You’ll understand when you see it. There’s no seat next to you, is there?”

 

“No…”

 

“Then let’s watch together.”

 

Director Cheon Yeong-hu sat down next to Kim Ji-hu.

 

And so ‘Office Apocalypse’ began.

 

“Wow…”

 

Kim Ji-hu let out a small gasp of admiration.

 

The natural CG that looked like it was made overseas. The spectacular direction. And he couldn’t help but admire Oh Jin-woo’s and his own acting.

 

‘Did I really act that well?’

 

The ad-libs between Oh Jin-woo and Kim Ji-hu throughout served as seasoning, became the highlight of the work, and also acted as stepping stones.

 

Although they had done many ad-libs, Kim Ji-hu hadn’t thought they would put all of them in the work.

 

But through editing, they had been reborn as incredibly good scenes.

 

He could understand why the production team had given such rave reviews.

 

‘Even though it’s a work I appeared in, it’s really entertaining.’

 

Trauma and My Little House were also good works and entertaining to watch, but they couldn’t compare to this work.

 

A masterpiece created together by Kim Ji-hu, Oh Jin-woo, and the production team.

 

Kim Ji-hu thought.

 

‘This… seems possible.’

 

The condition the System had presented of staying in first place for two weeks.

 

It seemed achievable.

 

***

 

The preview screening ended.

 

They hadn’t watched all episodes, but due to time constraints, they mainly showed episode 1 and key scenes.

 

But just from watching that, he could be certain.

 

That the work’s quality was incredible.

 

“Director, your work is so… uh…”

 

Kim Ji-hu looked at Director Cheon Yeong-hu who was sitting next to him.

 

Director Cheon Yeong-hu was sleeping, half-collapsed.

 

So a staff member approached with an awkward smile.

 

“Well… the Director said he had to complete everything perfectly by today’s preview screening… so he couldn’t sleep properly. Ahaha…”

 

“I-I see.”

 

“I’ll take the Director with me. Director, let’s go.”

 

“Ugh…”

 

Director Cheon Yeong-hu roughly came to his senses and was dragged away by the staff member.

 

“Wait.”

 

Then he stopped and turned around.

 

Director Cheon Yeong-hu asked Kim Ji-hu.

 

“How was it? The work.”

 

Kim Ji-hu showed two thumbs up to Director Cheon Yeong-hu.

 

“It was the best!”

 

Director Cheon Yeong-hu looked at Kim Ji-hu and showed a gentle smile.

 

“That’s a relief.”

 

“Let’s go, Director. You need to sleep now.”

 

“…Alright.”

 

And so Director Cheon Yeong-hu was led out of the preview screening venue by the staff member.

 

As Kim Ji-hu watched with a smile, Oh Jin-woo suddenly popped out from behind.

 

“How were my ad-libs?”

 

“G-good!”

 

“That’s all?”

 

“Th-they were incredibly good! Really, really!”

 

“More!”

 

“Increeeeedibly good!!!”

 

People did look bewildered at their strange behavior, but regardless, Oh Jin-woo just smiled with satisfaction.

 

“Now that you’ve seen the preview screening, we should talk about our business, right?”

 

At Oh Jin-woo’s words, Kim Ji-hu nodded.

 

By our business, he probably meant the story about ‘Park, the President’.

 

Oh Jin-woo had said he would go talk with the police he was cooperating with, so it was time to hear that story.

 

“Then let’s change locations first.”

 

***

 

“Well, I talked with the police, and they said okay.”

 

“That’s a relief. I thought I might get caught for illegal investigation or something…”

 

“That person isn’t the type to worry about such things.”

 

“…Then it is an illegal investigation?”

 

Oh Jin-woo shrugged his shoulders.

 

“I don’t know either. That person didn’t talk about such things.”

 

“If they didn’t mention it… then there’s no problem, right?”

 

“Probably. They’re a bit rough around the edges, but thorough in these matters. They have goals too.”

 

It was somewhat suspicious, but there was no one else to help them anyway.

 

Kim Ji-hu carefully asked Oh Jin-woo.

 

“But if we catch those people, we can find out about Park, the President, right?”

 

At Kim Ji-hu’s question, Oh Jin-woo clicked his tongue.

 

“At least we should be able to find some clues. There’s definitely something connecting them.”

 

“I understand.”

 

Then there was no reason to hesitate.

 

Even if they couldn’t dig deeper afterward, at least it would serve as a warning for those people not to approach them anymore.

 

“Then I’ll contact you right away on the day we move.”

 

“Yeah, contact me if there are any problems.”

 

“I understand.”

 

The two finished their brief conversation.

 

And so, on Kim Ji-hu’s way home.

 

-Ji-hu, I asked them. The day after tomorrow, Ji-hu should go meet those people. I’ve decided to make the deal.

 

It was a text from Jung Tae-hyun. Kim Ji-hu quickly sent a reply.

 

-I met and talked with Oh Jin-woo. Since the police said they’d provide support, just let me know the location and time.

 

-Yes, I’ll send it right away.

 

After finishing the text exchange, Kim Ji-hu pressed his lips tightly together.

 

‘I hope this gets wrapped up well too…’

 

***

 

The day after next.

 

Kim Ji-hu headed to the location Jung Tae-hyun had told him about.

 

Arriving earlier than the appointment time, Kim Ji-hu met someone.

 

“Oh, you’re here?”

 

A person standing around casually wearing sunglasses. It was the police officer Oh Jin-woo had mentioned.

 

‘Po, police? Isn’t he more like a thug?’

 

A person sitting on a bench with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, shaking his leg.

 

If he hadn’t been wearing a police uniform, Kim Ji-hu probably wouldn’t have recognized him.

 

“That, that’s the right person, right? Somehow it doesn’t seem like it.”

 

Choi Tae-geon, who came with him, also asked suspiciously.

 

“Ju, judging by how he’s greeting us, isn’t it him?”

 

“What are you two whispering about? Don’t want to work today?”

 

“No, no sir!”

 

Kim Ji-hu answered quickly and approached that person.

 

“Smoke if you want to smoke.”

 

“I don’t smoke though?”

 

“Tsk.”

 

The police officer stubbed out the cigarette he was smoking on the ground, then put the butt in his pocket.

 

“Name’s Dok-go Cheol. You’re Kim Ji-hu, right?”

 

“Yes…”

 

“You probably heard the gist of today’s operation from Oh Jin-woo.”

 

“That’s right…”

 

“Can’t make any mistakes. And if those guys run, chase them. You can beat them up if you have to, just catch them somehow.”

 

“Me? That’s something the police should…”

 

“Just in case there’s a situation. Just in case.”

 

Kim Ji-hu nodded for now.

 

“Understood…! I’ll do my best for now.”

 

“Is doing your best important? Doing it well is what’s important.”

 

“Haha…”

 

He definitely seemed like a strange person.

 

Anyway, there were two important things for this operation.

 

One was that after making contact with the other party, he had to buy time.

 

This operation would move simultaneously. Jung Tae-hyun and Director Park Sang-pil’s side. And Kim Ji-hu’s side.

 

If they couldn’t catch them all at once, there was a possibility of escape, so they were striking simultaneously.

 

And the other thing was.

 

“Will I be able to do this well…”

 

“Ji-hu, you can do it! Of course you can!”

 

Absolutely not showing any signs. If the other party knew what was happening, they would definitely run away immediately.

 

They might not even show up at the scene.

 

‘The timing needs to work out well…’

 

Kim Ji-hu headed to the meeting location with such worries.

 

“…”

 

“They’re later than expected.”

 

Kim Ji-hu and Choi Tae-geon checked the time, but the appointment time had already passed.

 

On top of that, a text came saying Jung Tae-hyun was making contact with the lighting staff, so they were getting anxious.

 

‘This isn’t blown, is it…’

 

It would be a disaster if the other party came after Jung Tae-hyun’s side received the drugs first.

 

According to Oh Jin-woo, there was a follow-up operation after that, but Kim Ji-hu hadn’t heard about it.

 

Information sharing was minimized due to the possibility of a spy inside.

 

‘But surely…’

 

Kim Ji-hu had roughly heard about the drug deal.

 

That they wouldn’t easily hand over anything that could serve as evidence.

 

In other words, if things went wrong, Jung Tae-hyun might end up taking those drugs.

 

‘Please… just don’t let anything strange happen…’

 

***

 

At that moment. On Jung Tae-hyun’s side.

 

“He said he went to meet Ji-hu.”

 

“Yes, I heard roughly. Then I’ll give it to you right away.”

 

The lighting staff rummaged through his bag and pulled out the drugs.

 

Along with a plastic bottle filled with water.

 

“You can take it right away.”

 

“Right now here…?”

 

“Yes.”

 

The lighting staff smiled brightly.

 

But there was still no message from Kim Ji-hu’s side.

 

‘For the police to rush in, I need to buy time until Ji-hu makes contact.’

 

But he hadn’t expected them to hand it over this quickly.

 

“Bu, but what happens if I take this?”

 

“What happens? You’ll act well.”

 

“Drugs can’t just make you act well immediately. What kind of drug is this.”

 

The lighting staff clicked his tongue.

 

“I brought it because you asked… but your attitude really doesn’t sit well with me.”

 

“No… since I’m the one taking it, I should know what effects it has.”

 

He had to buy as much time as possible.

 

If the other party tried to force him to take it, or if they ran away, the police would jump out.

 

Then they wouldn’t be able to catch the people on Kim Ji-hu’s side.

 

The lighting staff looked displeased, but began explaining.

 

“Simply put, think of it as a drug that helps you concentrate well. It increases work efficiency and gives you explosive power in the short term. Is that enough?”

 

“Th, then side effects. Are there no side effects?”

 

“There aren’t any. Ah! Actually there are. The point that you can’t forget that euphoric feeling and end up looking for this drug again? Well, if you don’t want to take it, I’ll be going. Today’s filming is off anyway.”

 

“Alright. I’ll take it. Give it here.”

 

If he dragged out the time any longer, it seemed like he would run away, so he accepted the water bottle and drugs.

 

The lighting staff smiled broadly and said.

 

“Then just swallow it like a pill.”

 

“Got it…”

 

Jung Tae-hyun opened the water bottle and hesitated for a moment.

 

‘In this kind of situation… in this kind of situation…’

 

Jung Tae-hyun soon put the drug into his mouth.
