The video taken at the airport was quickly uploaded to Korean InTube. The real-life reviews from Ji Haebeom to Han Yeoreum were a cheat key for view counts. It quickly surpassed 50,000 in a short time.

Memory manipulation beauty

Makes you feel good every time you see her

The reward vacation of 【The Great Garland】 team had good reactions not only in entertainment news but also in communities. The fervor for the national drama that hit 44.7% viewership was still not cooling down.

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ This is the first time I’ve seen that guy use the word “melon pang pang mi”

︎˪ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Oh this is hilarious, midsummer

-Why did you walk so slow when stating the proposition, you crazy bastard lmaooooo

-This person is fucking cold-hearted but damn, melting them with good looks I see. The Weland team is all praise now lmao fuck ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Oh shit lmaooooo for real, that’s why trust goes down the drain lol

-Seeing it like this makes me so happy ㅠㅠ.. I wish we could get a group photo of everyone together later.. I’m not confident I can let go yet

Eun Baekhap, who was alone in her room, also knew about these reactions. Eun Baekhap’s brow furrowed as she scanned through the comments with an expressionless face.

-Really looking forward to actor Han Yeoreum’s future haha If they take on a character like Yeonhui-jae later, they’ll probably soar~~ For a child actor to have that level of acting.. haha not easy haha

-Personally curious what it would have been like if the child actress Huijae had also played the adult role.. The acting of being spirited, sorrowful, and doing everything alone was impressive~^^

Baekhap also knew about the public’s curiosity about what it would have been like if Han Yeoreum had played adult Huijae too.

She thought it was possible. She tried to accept it.

But what bothered her was,

“…Why not about me?”

There were no people curious about Eun Baekhap’s child Huijae. As if Han Yeoreum alone was sufficient. That really bothered her.

Her mood was disturbed to the point where her pride was hurt.

No matter how much she tried to rationalize that it was because of the impact of their first meeting, because of the regret of what couldn’t be achieved.

“….”

In the end, Eun Baekhap also knew the essence. Eun Baekhap took a deep breath.

And she checked the time written in the corner of her phone screen.

“Fine. It’s okay.”

Now it was time to go meet An Junmyeong.

Today, Eun Baekhap was determined to secure the lead role in Writer An’s next work by any means.

So that no one could add words to the acting she had accomplished.

So that the work would be perfect with Eun Baekhap’s presence alone.

She wanted to be reborn as an actress that everyone would acknowledge.

* * *

An Junmyeong watched Eun Baekhap entering the hotel room. A slightly nervous expression, cautious steps, a shy smile. Considering all of that.

‘She’s acting.’

Eun Baekhap was acting.

Her firm will to somehow compete with An Junmyeong today was evident.

It seemed like the concept was that even this top star returns to being a newcomer and recalls her initial intentions in front of An Junmyeong, who had leaped to become a star writer in one go.

Top stars don’t know. How much the underlings below them have to read the room and get kicked around.

An Junmyeong, who had to crawl when told to crawl and pretend to die when told to die, starting from being a rookie writer, had reached the level of Gungye, to exaggerate a bit.

“Writer, were you resting well? I thought it would be nice to drink this together….”

Eun Baekhap diligently set up the wine she had brought. An Junmyeong smiled with a social smile and picked up a glass.

‘But you’re still a top star no matter what you do.’

She wouldn’t be able to abandon that lofty pride. An Junmyeong had no intention of making even a verbal contract with Eun Baekhap for the next work today.

Eun Baekhap was certainly a good actress. She had high recognition, didn’t have unnecessary noise following her, was good for commercials and PPL, and above all, acted well.

“I wanted to talk more during the company dinner, but I was really feeling so unwell then….”

But that alone wasn’t enough.

Eun Baekhap, who had lightly opened the wine, whispered as if making a shy confession. Her characteristic fluttering voice flew into his ears.

“Actually, the company really opposed this reward vacation too. But I was greedy because I wanted to be with you, Writer….”

Gentle yet precise pronunciation. Writer An was impressed. What would it be like if she delivered those lines with this voice? A simulation immediately came to mind. But it wasn’t time yet.

“Baekhap, you must have gotten many offers for your next work. Have you seen any good scenarios?”

Writer An went straight in. Eun Baekhap opened her eyes gently as if she hadn’t expected him to bring up the topic so quickly.

‘She could carry a narrative with just her face alone….’

Writer An, who almost fell for it even though she was the same gender, regained her reason. Eun Baekhap covered her mouth with one hand and laughed.

“That’s right. So many came that I was really surprised. I want to read them all slowly one by one, but Manager keeps urging me…. Saying I should row when the tide comes in.”

Exchanging well-packaged conversation like gifts, the two had somehow entered the main topic.

“But Writer, you know. I don’t just enter any work.”

“Of course. How could I not know Baekhap’s filmography.”

“I want to seriously read everything from start to finish and choose. But those above keep saying do this, do that. They still try to choose for me. No time but full of greed….”

Eun Baekhap’s eyes lit up.

“But Writer An, I’d want to join just by seeing the synopsis.”

As if all the previous lines were said just to throw out this statement.

“Because I trust you.”

Eun Baekhap’s delicate hand covered Writer An’s hand.

“Really? Do you know what I might make you do.”

“Whatever you make me do, I should do it. It’s not just anyone, it’s Writer An.”

Eyes full of trust turned toward An Junmyeong. An Junmyeong looked at such Eun Baekhap and thought.

‘Bullshit.’

She had seen more than one or two such actresses since her rookie writer days. This was a field where one top actor’s fee exceeded building prices.

Entertainers are the ones who know best how to use calculators, knowing how much loss they’d suffer if they entered the wrong work.

After earnestly promising they’d definitely join, gathering all the investors, then jumping to other works and messing things up, using it only for media play articles about being considered to raise their value and going elsewhere was just cute.

How many writers had she seen crying while rewriting because of actors who said nothing before entering works but then caused chaos demanding script changes this way and that way once they joined.

An Junmyeong hadn’t forgotten yet.

【The Great Garland】 would have had Gi Juye if Ji Haebeom hadn’t cut it off in the middle.

‘Gi Juye could never have played that Huijae.’

Eun Baekhap’s side had pushed for Gi Juye. That way all the spotlight would be directed at Eun Baekhap.

While she understood on one hand, on the other hand, that’s why she had to draw the line.

An Junmyeong didn’t want to use actors who started with calculations in her works. No, if they were such actors, casting would have been impossible from the start.

So An Junmyeong decided to go strong.

This was a game where Eun Baekhap had to be the one who wanted it more.

“Even if Baekhap played an extra?”

“…What?”

“Even just a mother role?”

At those words, Eun Baekhap’s expression quickly hardened.

Like someone who never imagined hearing such words.

Extra. And a mother.

These weren’t roles that would be offered to an actress currently at the peak of her stock. Maybe if she was an actress who ‘used to be’ successful.

“Why aren’t you answering?”

“…Writer. You’re… joking, right?”

“Just a moment ago you said you’d do anything I gave you.”

Eun Baekhap maintained a polite smile. But her mind seemed to go blank.

Writer An smiled and pulled out her hand that had been trapped under Eun Baekhap’s.

‘I thought so.’

The pride of a top actress who didn’t want to do anything unless it was the lead role remained unchanged. If she was an actress who couldn’t tolerate the spotlight being on other roles, she couldn’t join An Junmyeong’s next project.

That’s how it had been from the beginning.

“Baekhap, your face looks pale. Your condition must really be bad.”

“….”

“Go inside and rest now. You came all this way for vacation, you can’t let yourself get worn out.”

An Junmyeong sent Eun Baekhap away. And alone in the private room, she sipped the wine that Eun Baekhap had brought.

“Ah-. I wonder what Baekhap’s next project will be?”

Three female leads. Provocative subject matter that would draw controversy. No male lead. No romance line. That alone was enough to explain how difficult it would be to produce An Junmyeong’s next work.

“It becomes too difficult when the lead who should be the pillar gets greedy alone….”

Writer An’s Heeseun definitely had aspects that matched with Eun Baekhap. But she didn’t want Eun Baekhap as she was now.

Writer An laughed loudly in the private room. That was the problem with actors.

Acting wasn’t something only actors could do. Originally, lying and acting were separated by a hair’s breadth anyway.

“Still, let’s meet again later! Baekhap!”

Would Eun Baekhap really fall away like this? Or would she squeeze through the tiniest possibility and return as the actress Writer An wanted?

Writer An pulled out a bluff card. Extra, child’s mom. Only one of the two was correct.

On Writer An’s laptop screen, the synopsis for her next work was displayed.

<Deserving to Die>

Exactly one year after her seven-year-old daughter was murdered. Today too, after spending the entire day at the columbarium, Deaconess from the church visits Heeseun’s home.

“God needed an angel, so He took her. She went to Heaven, so don’t suffer too much….”

Does that become a reason?

Heeseun mulls over the Deaconess’s words. If someone’s life was needed and taken, it shouldn’t have been a seven-year-old child.

Just then, a door lock with dead batteries, a cell phone screen that won’t respond due to an error, an apartment fire alarm that rang by mistake.

God’s revelation that everything is an error descends upon Heeseun.

Right. She was taken by mistake. There are so many things in this world that deserve to die, but something got twisted and my daughter became the sacrifice.

From that day, Heeseun decides to personally follow God’s revelation. To send back to Heaven those things that deserve to die. Only then will there be no more victims. She can’t let more souls like my daughter who were ‘taken by mistake’ continue to increase.

If there are things that are tangled and twisted, Heeseun can untangle them all with her fingertips. She resolved to become a judge.

In the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

* * *

I looked up at the night sky while feeling the sea breeze blowing from the terrace. Though it was winter, the weather here was just perfect. After having a drink or two of cocktails with the staff, my cheeks were flushed red.

“I wish the reward vacation could last longer…. I don’t want to part with you all….”

Laughter burst out around me at my words. Who am I? Though the time we spent together on the film set wasn’t long, I’m still Han Yeoreum who makes all the staff want to save my name in their phones as ‘Yeoreum♥’ with a heart.

“Right-. I want to work on the next project with Yeoreum too!”

As always, when we gathered, it was work talk again. Since there were few opportunities to hear vivid stories about how the film set operated from the staff, I nodded enthusiastically.

Stories like being terrified of spoilers because too many people flocked to the Jeju Island Hotel, the day when it suddenly snowed and we had to withdraw the filming equipment, and the fixed camera making rattling noises due to the sea breeze were endlessly entertaining no matter how many times I heard them.

“But I actually wanted to see Yeoreum longer on the film set.”

When someone spoke up, others around agreed one by one.

“Child actress Huijae was the best.”

“It was really such a waste that she disappeared after just 4 episodes.”

It was nice that they were praising me, but everyone was somewhat drunk.

‘If this continues and reaches the ears of Eun Baekhap’s staff, things that could upset them might come up, so let’s cut it off appropriately.’

This is just the right point to stop.

“I wanted to stay longer too-. But I benefited a lot from Senior Baekhap. Because of the overwhelming lingering feeling of ending Huijae, I got some kind of nostalgia filter too.”

“Anyway, Yeoreum has this subtly humble side to her.”

“Yeoreum. If you look at InTube comments, there are quite a few people who just wanted to see you as Huijae until the end. Don’t you read comments?”

There’s probably no one who reads their own comments more than me. I can confidently say I read them more than even Manager Ma.

But it was right in many ways to cut it off firmly here.

“Hey. Still, compared to Senior Baekhap, I’m far behind.”

I just smiled and stood up from my seat. So the conversation topic could change naturally. Good. That was clean.

“Yeoreum, where are you going!”

“Just to the restroom for a moment.”

I stepped outside briefly, leaving behind the laughter that had grown louder with alcohol. But wow. My goodness.

‘How can there be such a drama-like direction….’

My eyes met with Eun Baekhap, who was standing behind the shadow of a tree.
