Episode 98

 

-Hahahaha Kim Jihu and Oh Jinwoo really seem close

 

-Kim Ji-hu is the only person who doesn’t act shy around others.

 

-Somehow Oh Jin-woo looks like a good person when I see him like this.

 

-But honestly I have no idea what those two are talking about lol Is this what a conversation between geniuses looks like?

 

-Oh Jin-woo looked really arrogant when I saw him on other variety shows but he looks really friendly here

 

-You can tell Oh Jinwoo really cares about Kim Jihoo ㅇㅇ his eyes are full of affection

 

The YouTube video was uploaded.

 

As expected, people’s reactions were explosive.

 

‘Office Apocalypse’ itself was such a well-made work, and since Kim Ji-hu and Oh Jin-woo, the lead actors, were appearing, everyone was drawn to it.

 

On top of that, people found Kim Ji-hu and Oh Jin-woo’s everyday appearance entertaining, and they occasionally had profound conversations, so that aspect seemed to appeal to them.

 

-Where else would you see top actors seriously talking about works like this

 

-But they really do have different perspectives.

 

-Kim Ji-hu seems to have really high insight in this area. Even during the review reading content, he seemed to know a lot.

 

Of course, since it was Kim Ji-hu’s YouTube, there were the most compliments about Kim Ji-hu.

 

Moreover, Kim Ji-hu’s fans were very interested in this kind of review content, so it was receiving even more positive response.

 

‘It was worth filming hard until night.’

 

The filming that started in the morning ended almost when the last train was about to stop running.

 

‘I feel sorry for my manager and the Content Team person…’

 

Originally, they were planning to stop in the middle and continue filming the next day.

 

But Kim Ji-hu and Oh Jin-woo were having such an interesting conversation that they missed the timing to stop.

 

So they ended up filming until the end.

 

‘It’s been a while since I had such a fun conversation.’

 

Although Kim Ji-hu was usually a man of few words, when talking with Oh Jin-woo, he would unknowingly get excited and start talking.

 

Because Oh Jin-woo’s thoughts about works were similar to his own.

 

So from the middle, the conversation never stopped.

 

‘Well, that aside, the subscriber growth rate has been really fast since Office Apocalypse.’

 

The current YouTube subscriber count was 300,000.

 

When it was first created, it gained 30,000 subscribers and after that subscribers didn’t grow well, but after ‘Office Apocalypse’ he immediately became a YouTuber with 300,000 subscribers.

 

SNS was even more so.

 

Currently Kim Ji-hu’s SNS followers numbered 520,000. Since it was still rising steeply, it seemed like reaching 700,000 would be easy.

 

‘But honestly, it doesn’t feel real…’

 

Kim Ji-hu smacked his lips.

 

Countless comments were being posted and subscribers and followers were soaring, but it felt somewhat lacking in reality.

 

Since he was mostly just staying at home anyway, and wasn’t doing any external activities, it felt even more so.

 

‘It’s not like I can go outside and ask people how well-known I am…’

 

If he asked, he would definitely be treated like someone with celebrity disease.

 

And since he was scheduled to join PD Seo Min-sik’s work soon, he couldn’t do other schedules.

 

‘I’ll just have to accept that I’m somewhat popular.’

 

As he was nodding to himself like that.

 

“Oppa, what are you doing.”

 

Kim Ji-hye suddenly entered the room.

 

“Just thinking about this and that. Why.”

 

“I have a schedule tomorrow.”

 

“A schedule? But why.”

 

Since she hit number 1 on the music charts this time, it was natural for schedules to come up.

 

Anyway, even before hitting number 1, she had been continuously busy with schedules, so he thought it was natural.

 

“But it’s a fan signing event.”

 

“Fan signing event?”

 

“Yeah, signing autographs for people who bought albums at the bookstore.”

 

He was puzzled about why she was suddenly talking about this.

 

“Then just go and come back.”

 

“…By myself?”

 

Only then did he realize what Kim Ji-hye was hoping for.

 

“You want me to go too?”

 

“Yeah, oppa you’re free anyway.”

 

“I’m not really that free.”

 

“But you don’t have anything to do tomorrow. Come with me.”

 

Normally Kim Ji-hye would have whined, but today she was talking calmly.

 

She probably knew that if she whined, he would brush her off saying ‘figure it out yourself.’

 

‘Well, she has a similar personality to me, so this could happen.’

 

Compared to Kim Ji-hu, Kim Ji-hye was much more extroverted and had better social skills, but like Kim Ji-hu, she was very shy and afraid of standing in front of people.

 

So she would be asking to go together.

 

“But what would I do there.”

 

“You can just stand in the back like a manager!”

 

“…I’m not a manager though.”

 

“Geez! I said stand there like one, I didn’t say to be a manager… Huh? Isn’t this pretty good?”

 

Kim Ji-hye’s eyes suddenly sparkled.

 

“What is.”

 

“Oppa being my one-day manager. The manager was just saying it would be good to think of some content to upload to YouTube, so let’s go with this!”

 

“…Isn’t that content that would be hard for me?”

 

“It’s all the same~. People would like it.”

 

Even Kim Ji-hu thought people would probably like it, but he felt somehow wronged that it wasn’t Kim Ji-hye who would suffer but himself.

 

“Then let’s contact the managers first and decide.”

 

“Good! The managers will all approve, right? They’ll probably love my brilliant idea.”

 

***

 

“Hmm… I don’t think that would work?”

 

“What??? Why???”

 

Seo Min-ju, who had become Kim Ji-hye’s official manager, shook her head.

 

“That would be a video where Ji-hu is the main focus. It would be awkward to upload it to Ji-hye’s YouTube…”

 

“But, but it seems like good content…”

 

Kim Ji-hye’s voice became subdued.

 

She seemed dejected since the content she had confidently proposed was rejected.

 

Then Choi Tae-geon, who was with them, spoke up.

 

“As you said, the content itself is interesting. One-day manager.”

 

“Right? I knew like-minded people would understand!”

 

“Then let’s do it this way. Tomorrow Ji-hu will be the manager and upload it to Ji-hu’s YouTube.”

 

“Huh.”

 

Kim Ji-hye blinked.

 

“This, this is my content though?”

 

“It’s not over yet.”

 

“What?”

 

“Next time when Ji-hu has a schedule, Ji-hye will be the manager.”

 

Kim Ji-hu’s answer was quick.

 

“I’m in favor.”

 

“This, this isn’t right! Surely…! Surely…! There’s a better way!”

 

Then Kim Ji-hye’s manager Seo Min-ju said.

 

“I’m also in favor!”

 

“Manager! Manager, you should be on my side!”

 

“Since Ji-hye seems to want to do this content, if I’m taking your side I should be in favor~.”

 

“This isn’t right….”

 

Of course, Kim Ji-hye had wanted to boss Kim Ji-hu around, but she didn’t want to be bossed around herself.

 

But she soon changed her mind.

 

“Right… I just need to boss oppa around tremendously. Keep asking him to bring me water… and specify the water brand too….”

 

“I think your inner thoughts are coming out of your mouth.”

 

And so it was decided that he would work as Kim Ji-hye’s manager for a day tomorrow.

 

‘If she makes me do a lot of work, I’ll have to pay her back double.’

 

Kim Ji-hu was steeling his resolve.

 

***

 

The next day.

 

Kim Ji-hu started preparing early in the morning.

 

‘Managers must really have it tough…. Getting up this early….’

 

Since he had decided to move exactly like a manager this time, he woke up at the same time they would.

 

While he was preparing first.

 

“…When is she going to wake up.”

 

Kim Ji-hye was still sprawled out sleeping in her room.

 

After finishing his preparations, Kim Ji-hu handled the camera the Content Team had given him.

 

“This… I’m doing this right, aren’t I.”

 

Kim Ji-hu turned on the camera’s record button as he had learned and entered Kim Ji-hye’s room.

 

“Hey, Kim Ji-hye. Wake up. You have a schedule to go to.”

 

“Ugh… huh?”

 

Kim Ji-hye groggily got up and sat on the bed.

 

Then she sat there blankly for about a minute before lying back down on the bed.

 

“I said wake up.”

 

“Bweeee…. Oppa, just five more minutes….”

 

When he roughly grabbed and pulled Kim Ji-hye’s cheeks, she frowned and flailed her hands.

 

Anyway, Kim Ji-hu roughly woke up Kim Ji-hye like that and went outside.

 

“What were you going to do if I hadn’t woken you up?”

 

“Since oppa said he’d wake me up, I slept without setting an alarm….”

 

When they came out to the front of the house, Kim Ji-hye’s manager Seo Min-ju had a car waiting.

 

“Good morning to both of you!”

 

Seo Min-ju greeted them brightly from the morning.

 

It seemed amazing that she could greet people with such a smile even in the morning.

 

“I’m sorry if you had to wake up early because of us….”

 

At Kim Ji-hu’s words, Seo Min-ju waved both hands.

 

“Not at all! It was a scheduled appointment anyway! Shall we go right away then?”

 

When he saw her last time, they couldn’t talk properly, but she definitely seemed like a good person.

 

***

 

And so Kim Ji-hye went to get her makeup and hair done.

 

“Oppa, since you’re the manager today, you have to do everything the manager does too~.”

 

“Got it….”

 

“Ahaha, thanks to Ji-hu, I’ll be a bit more comfortable.”

 

He had roughly received a handover yesterday anyway.

 

There were three things Kim Ji-hu had to do in total.

 

One was confirming the makeup appointment.

 

This had the lowest difficulty level.

 

He just needed to have a brief conversation at the counter.

 

Next was going to the bookstore to check order and assist Kim Ji-hye.

 

He would bring Kim Ji-hye the items she needed and manage the line.

 

The last task was cleaning up afterward.

 

That would complete today’s schedule.

 

Kim Ji-hu entered the hair salon like that and tried to confirm Kim Ji-hye’s appointment.

 

‘It’s been a while since I came here….’

 

It was the same hair salon where he had met Oh Jin-woo a few months ago.

 

The place with tremendous prices that he had thought he wouldn’t come to with his own money.

 

“Huh?”

 

“Whoa!”

 

“Whooooa!”

 

Then people’s attention focused on Kim Ji-hu.

 

And they said.

 

“I’m a fan of Kim Ji-hu!!!”

 

“I, I really enjoyed watching Office Apocalypse!”

 

“Please give me an autograph. And, and recommend some works too….”

 

“Uh….”

 

Kim Ji-hu froze for a moment.

 

Why were these people acting like this? Just last time, Kim Ji-hu had been treated like he was almost half-nonexistent.

 

Hadn’t Oh Jin-woo also been treated almost like a passerby back then?

 

“Um… I… need to confirm a reservation first….”

 

Since Kim Ji-hye’s schedule was set, he had to hurry.

 

“Ah! Yes! Please go in!”

 

“It looks like you’re filming something.”

 

Since Kim Ji-hu was holding a selfie camera, everyone seemed to be making way for him.

 

“Um… I’d like to confirm a reservation.”

 

Fortunately, when he went to the counter and asked, the staff member nodded vigorously.

 

“Did, did you make a reservation under Kim Ji-hu’s name?”

 

“No… under Kim Ji-hye’s name….”

 

“Ah! You came with your sister! I’m really a fan of Ji-hu.”

 

“Th, thank you.”

 

“Oh, there’s a 9 o’clock reservation. This way….”

 

“Yes…!”

 

And Kim Ji-hye belatedly entered the hair salon with Seo Min-ju.

 

“…What is oppa doing?”

 

“I, I wonder?”

 

Kim Ji-hu was sitting in one spot giving autographs, with people lined up behind him.

 

A situation almost reminiscent of a fan signing event unfolded.

 

Today it was Kim Ji-hye who was going to a fan signing, but Kim Ji-hu was holding a fan signing at the hair salon.

 

‘What the heck is this.’

 

He had wanted to know how popular he was, but he hadn’t wanted this kind of situation.

 

Being surrounded by strangers and receiving all sorts of questions.

 

For Kim Ji-hu, who was extremely introverted, this was a really difficult situation.

 

Unlike his simple thought that he would just need to attend to Kim Ji-hye, he didn’t know that much more difficult work would be waiting for him.

 

‘This, this would make it hard to go anywhere.’

 

Then what would it be like at the bookstore when there were countless people?

 

Kim Ji-hu was thinking he’d have to wrap his face up more than usual when going around.
