Episode 17. Han So-hyeon’s Awards Ceremony

The filming set was roughly cleaned up, and in the meantime, Son Jin-wook filmed a few more remaining scenes inside the university building.

 

While watching the filming, Seong-sik and Jun-su kept exclaiming in admiration.

It was certainly amazing to see someone they had only seen on TV or in movie theaters moving around right before their eyes.

 

“Wow, this is incredible. I can’t believe we’re meeting Son Jin-wook.”

“Hey, don’t just call him by his name like that in front of hyung.”

 

At Jun-su’s criticism, Seong-sik acted playfully, saying that was obvious.

 

“I know that much too.”

 

Son Jin-wook finished filming and approached Yeon-woo and his friends.

 

“Yeon-woo, the director says he has some other image cuts to shoot related to the school exterior, so we can leave work first.”

“Oh, really? Then shall we head out?”

 

Following Jin-wook’s guidance, Yeon-woo and his friends followed behind like little ducklings.

 

“This is the car. Get in.”

 

Jun-su and Seong-sik got into the van they were riding for the first time and kept exclaiming in admiration.

 

“Wow.”

 

Seeing them, Jin-wook’s manager Sang-woo joked from the driver’s seat.

 

“Hyung, haven’t your friends gotten much younger lately?”

 

Following Yeon-woo, this was Jin-wook inviting high school students to his house for two consecutive days.

 

“Hahaha. That’s true. Are you on a date again today?”

“Yes. I’m living under orders.”

 

At Sang-woo’s answer, Jin-wook and Yeon-woo chuckled.

He says he’s living under orders, but his face looks happy.

 

“Should we buy something to eat on the way?”

 

When Yeon-woo asked, Jin-wook shook his head.

 

“Let’s just order something when we get there.”

 

Taking the constantly amazed kids with them, the van quickly headed to Son Jin-wook’s house, and before long Jin-wook’s car arrived at home.

 

The friends who had been exclaiming in admiration from the entrance to the parking lot followed Jin-wook as they got out.

 

They took the elevator up and Jin-wook opened the door to guide his friends inside.

 

“Come on, let’s go in, guys.”

“Wow, thanks to Yeon-woo, we’re all getting to visit Son Jin-wook hyung’s house.”

 

As they opened the door and entered, Jun-su and Seong-sik’s eyes widened from the entrance hall.

 

“Whoa. This is incredible.”

 

Seong-sik and Jun-su kept exclaiming in admiration as they wandered around Jin-wook’s house.

Even Jun-su, who usually kept Seong-sik in check, was busy looking around excitedly like his age.

 

Watching those kids, Yeon-woo quietly apologized to Jin-wook.

 

“Hyung, I’m sorry. Since they’re kids. It’s their first time visiting such a nice house.”

“Hahaha. It’s fine. Yeon-woo, you always talk as if you’re not a kid yourself.”

“That’s true too.”

 

Yeon-woo smiled quietly.

 

While answering Yeon-woo, Jin-wook watched Yeon-woo’s friends wandering around and thought to himself that kids these days should be like that, but Yeon-woo was unusually mature.

 

“Well then, shall we order something before the awards ceremony officially starts?”

“Shall we? Hey guys, come over here.”

 

At Yeon-woo’s call, Jun-su and Seong-sik gathered around.

Looking at those kids, Jin-wook asked.

 

“Do you guys have anything you want to eat? I’m going to order some food.”

“I want pizza!”

 

At Jin-wook’s question, Seong-sik immediately answered.

As if he expected that, Jin-wook smiled and said.

 

“Good, classic is the best. Hmm, then I’ll order pizza and chicken.”

“Yes! Thank you!”

 

After ordering and spending time with the host properly introducing his house, the delivery arrived quickly.

 

“Alright, the food has arrived and now the awards ceremony is about to start.”

“Um, Jin-wook hyung.”

 

Seong-sik hesitated as if he had some request.

 

“Hm? What is it?”

“Could we possibly take a group photo of the four of us?”

“You’re trying to post it on StarStar to increase your followers, aren’t you?”

 

At Jun-su’s criticism, Seong-sik flinched.

 

“Actors have private lives and portrait rights too, so you can’t just post photos carelessly.”

 

Jun-su scolded Seong-sik.

Jin-wook chuckled at Jun-su’s unexpectedly mature demeanor and replied.

 

“Originally, Jun-su’s words are right. But today is fine. Let’s take it. This pizza is something I’m modeling for too, so let’s take it so it shows together. I’ll post it on my StarStar too? The advertiser will be happy.”

 

Jin-wook readily agreed and came between the high school boys.

 

“Hyung, is it really okay?”

“Yeah. I haven’t even removed my makeup yet, so now would be perfect.”

“Well then, excuse me, but we’ll take the photo! One, two, three.”

 

Click.

 

“Wow, amazing. Hyung-nim, is this photo okay? Can we use it?”

“Yeah. It’s fine.”

 

Looking at the photo, Jun-su said.

 

“You might not be okay with it. Standing next to those two, you’re less than a squid.”

“Hey, but I’m still better than you, aren’t I?”

 

At those words, Jun-su shook his head back and forth.

 

Whether Jun-su did that or not, Seong-sik was excited and posted the photo in the family group chat and class group chat.

 

Ding ding ding.

 

Jun-su’s phone notification sound rang like crazy.

 

“Hey, did you already post it?”

“I can’t hold back on things like this.”

 

Kim Jun-su switched his mobile phone notification sound to silent and checked the group chat messages.

 

In the group chat were the selfie with Han So-hyeon that Woo Seong-sik had taken in the afternoon and the group photo they had just taken.

 

– Wow, crazy, what is this?

– You’ve lost it. Where are you guys, Seong-sik and Jun-su.

– Right, where are you? Did you two secretly go to see Yeon-woo?

– I want to meet Han So-hyeon too.

– Look at Yeon-woo, he’s not intimidated at all even next to Son Jin-wook

 

Kim Jun-su gave up reading due to the relentless explosive speed of the group chat and closed his mobile phone.

 

Looking to the side, Woo Seong-sik’s smile stretched from ear to ear.

 

“Ugh, attention seeker.”

“Hahaha. If I were a king of Joseon, my pen name would be Attention Seeker.”

 

Kim Jun-su shook his head, and this time Yeon-woo joined him.

 

“Alright, the awards ceremony is starting.”

 

The four men turned their attention back to the awards ceremony.

 

After the awards ceremony had been going on for a while, Han So-hyeon appeared on screen.

 

“Woooah! So-hyeon Sister! Fighting!”

 

Thanks to Seong-sik shouting fighting as if cheering at a baseball game, everyone burst into laughter.

 

“Soon Yeon-woo will go to places like that too, right? When you go, you must mention my name!”

“Haha. Well. Our drama is on JNBC, so there’s no awards ceremony.”

“Aw, whether it’s the next work or the one after that, you’ll go someday. You’re this handsome.”

“Right. I’ll definitely mention your name.”

 

Before they knew it, it was time for the Female Excellence Award category where So-hyeon was nominated, and the presenter announced the winner.

 

– Now I’ll announce the winner. It was a work and actor that received great love this year. Han So-hyeon, who played Lee Seon-jeong in ‘Flowers Falling in Hanyang’!

– Yes, congratulations. Everyone please give a big round of applause. She received great love this year through her passionate performance as Bingheo-gak Lee, the first female practical scholar of the Joseon Dynasty.

 

So-hyeon received congratulations from fellow actors and went up on stage to receive the award.

 

 

“Yes! Yes! Yes!”

 

Son Jin-wook’s house, watching in real time, was also in a festive mood.

 

“I knew our So-hyeon Sister would win.”

“Since when is she ‘our’ So-hyeon Sister?”

 

When Woo Seong-sik got excited, Kim Jun-su found fault with him.

 

But Kim Jun-su, as well as Yeon-woo and Son Jin-wook, applauded and were happy.

 

– First, I’d like to thank SBC and the ‘Flowers Falling in Hanyang’ team for giving me such a big award. Also, ah. Now that I’m up here, there are so many names I’m grateful for but I can’t think of them. Hehe.

 

At Han So-hyeon’s cute and cheeky smile, laughter erupted both at the awards ceremony venue and at Son Jin-wook’s house.

 

– First, CEO Kim Min-su and our talent agency family, writer Jang Min-ju, and also···.”

 

After listing various names including family and staff, So-hyeon finally looked at the camera, winked, and continued speaking.

 

– Our Yeon-woo and Jin-wook who might be watching on TV right now. Thank you.

 

 

“Wow! She just said Yeon-woo’s name! Right? Did I hear wrong?”

 

At Woo Seong-sik’s words, Kim Jun-su nodded, saying he heard it too.

 

“So-hyeon. We agreed not to mention it since it’s a different broadcasting station. I can’t stop her.”

 

Son Jin-wook shook his head left and right, but the corners of his mouth also turned up.

 

Though surprised by the sudden mention, Yeon-woo felt just as good.

 

After the awards ceremony ended, Yeon-woo and the kids were each assigned rooms and began preparing for bed.

 

Since the house was so large and he lived alone, there were rooms to spare even after assigning one to each person.

 

Kim Jun-su sat on the guest room bed, looked at Yeon-woo, and asked.

 

“Is it really okay for me to use this room alone? The room seems as big as our living room at home.”

“There’s probably no room smaller than this one in this house anyway. Since we’re here to have fun, let’s enjoy it.”

 

Seeing Yeon-woo speak with a bright smile, Kim Jun-su nodded.

 

 

Yeon-woo also returned to his room and lay down for a while, then came out to the living room to get some water before sleeping.

 

Bzzzz!

 

Just then, Yeon-woo’s mobile phone vibrated.

Yeon-woo looked at the screen.

 

– Actress Han So-hyeon

 

“Yes. Sister. Congratulations on receiving the award.”

 

Yeon-woo answered the phone and offered congratulations first.

 

– Did you see? I talked about our Yeon-woo too!

“Haha. Yes. I saw it. I was watching with Jin-wook hyung.”

 

From the other end of the phone receiver, Han So-hyeon said “Oh really?”

 

– Are you sleeping at Jin-wook senior’s house tonight too?

“Yes, we came to watch Sister’s awards ceremony together.”

– Really? I’m so touched!

 

Just then, Son Jin-wook came out to the living room while brushing his teeth and looked over wondering what was happening.

 

“Oh, hyung. Sister called.”

 

At those words, Son Jin-wook spoke with his mouth full of toothpaste.

 

“Tho-hyethon?”

“Yes, So-hyeon.”

 

Han So-hyeon must have heard from the other end of the phone receiver as she asked.

 

-Is that Jin-wook senior?

“Yes, he’s brushing his teeth right now so he probably can’t talk.”

“Thell her congrathulathions!”

 

Jin-wook spoke urgently, then waved his hand and returned to the restroom as if the toothpaste in his mouth might overflow.

 

“He says congratulations, Sister.”

 

Yeon-woo understood perfectly despite the garbled speech.

 

-Okay. Thank you! I don’t have morning filming tomorrow, so I guess we’ll meet at the 28th filming!

“Yes, the outdoor scene was cold earlier, and the dress must have been cold too, right? Rest well so you don’t catch a cold.”

– What’s with this sweetness? You sleep well too, Yeon-woo.

 

After ending the call, Yeon-woo also went into his room.

 

The next morning, Yeon-woo finished filming and took the train down to his parents’ house with his friends.

 

His steps were light as he visited home for the first time in several weeks.

 

He hugged his welcoming parents and younger sibling one by one, then spent a pleasant Christmas evening grilling pork belly together.

 

 

After that, he returned to Seoul, finished additional filming and drama poster shooting, and the new year dawned.

 

Today. The long-awaited Wednesday, January 3rd.

 

It was the day of ‘Summer’s Closet’ first broadcast.
