Episode 47. Master Plan – Operation

Meanwhile, on the evening of the day when Han Hae-woon first met Jung Hye-min and collapsed.

 

Han Hae-woon opened her eyes in the emergency room where she had been brought.

 

“Oh my, are you conscious now?”

 

A nurse who had been caring for another patient nearby spoke to Han Hae-woon, who had regained consciousness and was sitting up on the stretcher.

 

“···Ah, yes.”

 

Han Hae-woon, still unable to gather her thoughts due to the memories that had surfaced before she collapsed, answered blankly.

Seeing Hae-woon in that state, the nurse spoke up.

 

“I’ll call the doctor, so please lie down and wait for a moment. You mustn’t remove the IV drip.”

 

Han Hae-woon hurriedly stopped the nurse who was going to call the doctor.

 

“Ah, I’m sorry. What happened to the woman who came with me?”

“A woman? If you’re referring to the person who reported it, she only made the report at the scene and didn’t come with you.”

 

Han Hae-woon nodded.

 

“Yes, thank you.”

 

Despite the nurse’s attempts to stop her, Hae-woon removed the IV drip and went directly to the administration department to pay for the emergency room treatment.

 

Taking her coat with her, Hae-woon came out of the hospital and went to a corner where she lit a cigarette with a confused expression.

 

“Team Leader Jeon Su-hwan, Jung Hye-min, Baek Yu-hyeon. Haa… Does this even make sense?”

 

Seeming to need time to organize her thoughts, Han Hae-woon sat for a long while, chain-smoking cigarettes.

 

***

 

The day after the awards ceremony. Yeon-woo arrived at the filming set from the morning.

 

“Ooh. The rising star who won the Newcomer Award has arrived.”

 

Seeing Yeon-woo, the staff smiled and playfully shouted.

 

“Hahaha. What’s the big deal about that. Min-jae hyung.”

“Congratulations, Yeon-woo!”

 

These were the grateful people who had watched TV from their homes or some bar yesterday, praying for Yeon-woo to win the award.

 

Ma Seok-do approached from behind and patted Yeon-woo’s shoulder.

 

“We’re filming a pretty intense scene today, huh?”

“Ah, you’re here. That’s right.”

 

The scene Ma Seok-do described as intense was today’s party scene.

 

A scene where Yeon-woo’s strength in detailed and varied facial expression acting would determine the overall completion.

 

“Well then, let’s get ready.”

“Yes, Seok-do hyung.”

 

They headed to the makeup room set up in one corner of the party hall rented for filming.

 

When they opened the door and entered, Jung Ha-gyun was already there sitting.

 

“Hello, senior.”

 

Yeon-woo bowed politely while looking at Ha-gyun’s reflection in the mirror with a smiling face.

 

“Oh, yes. Yeon-woo, I’m glad to see you too. I can’t move since I’m in the middle of makeup. Let’s greet each other properly later.”

 

“Yes, senior. Please take care of me during today’s filming.”

 

Since Pierre Choi and Park Gang-woo are on opposite sides in the movie scenario, they don’t meet, so today was the first scene where the two would face off.

 

Yeon-woo also finished his makeup and headed to the filming set with Jung Ha-gyun.

 

***

 

Park Gang-woo, the boss of the Gang-woo Gang, opens the door and enters the party venue.

 

“Could you please present your invitation?”

 

A man in a black suit politely approached and asked Gang-woo.

Then the large-built driver who had brought Park Gang-woo followed and handed over the invitation instead.

 

“This person is someone the Chairman cherishes, so please take special care of him.”

“Ah, yes. I understand.”

 

Park Gang-woo’s confidence was boosted by the feeling of receiving special treatment.

 

“Hmm hmm.”

 

Park Gang-woo spread his suit jacket back once and climbed the stairs with confident steps.

 

The large-built driver sent a sinister smile toward Park Gang-woo.

It was Kwak Ji-cheol playing the driver.

 

Park Gang-woo didn’t recognize him since only low-level subordinates had come looking for Kwak Ji-cheol, and he had never seen him directly.

 

Following that, laughter could be heard from various places within the party venue.

Park Gang-woo was looking around here and there since he didn’t recognize any faces.

 

“Oh my, I thought you were a golf pro, but you’re not?”

 

At the sound of a woman’s voice, he turned around to see ‘deer-like’ Jennifer looking at him.

 

“Wait, the lady from that golf course?”

 

Park Gang-woo’s expression became awkward.

 

He grew tense at the thought that the beauty from the adjacent tee he had secretly harassed was connected to influential people enough to be invited here.

 

“Nice to meet you. I’m Yoo Chae-yeon. I usually hate these kinds of events, but my father insisted so much… That day, thanks to your kind instruction, my swing seems to have improved. What a surprise to see you here.”

“Ahaha. I’m not a pro, just a hobby. I run a construction company.”

“Oh my, really? So you’re a CEO in the same industry as our family?”

 

Jennifer, playing Yoo Chae-yeon, smiled brightly and extended her hand.

 

Contrary to his worries, Park Gang-woo mistakenly thought this woman really believed it was just a golf lesson, and shook hands with her.

 

After that, Jennifer, acting as the fictional character Yoo Chae-yeon, led Park Gang-woo around and introduced him to people at the party venue, conversing according to the pre-written script.

 

The entire party venue was fake, orchestrated by Pierre Choi’s skills. Of course, the attendees were also con artist actors gathered from across the country with promises of payment.

 

‘I wonder whose daughter she is, a construction company with the surname Yoo…? Could she be from Chairman Yoo Kyung-hwan’s family?’

 

In Park Gang-woo’s eyes, everyone at this party venue seemed to be looking at Yoo Chae-yeon, wanting to strike up even one more conversation with her.

 

Following behind Jennifer, who was acting as Yoo Chae-yeon, Park Gang-woo’s confidence began to grow.

 

As he drank one, then two glasses of champagne, Park Gang-woo’s voice grew louder due to his show-off personality.

 

“Okay, cut.”

 

With Director Park Chan-hong’s okay sign, the staff busily began changing the camera setup.

 

They were positioning equipment in advance according to the next scene’s blocking.

 

The next scene was where Pierre Choi and Park Gang-woo would clash for the first time at the party venue.

 

“Alright, let’s start filming when you’re ready.”

 

Yeon-woo, who had been waiting, came out.

 

Yeon-woo looked at Jung Ha-gyun, who was playing Park Gang-woo, and bowed slightly.

 

“Please take care of me during today’s filming, senior.”

“You’re the one who’s working hard, Yeon-woo.”

“Yeon-woo, fighting!”

 

Han So-hyeon, playing Jennifer/Yoo Chae-yeon, cheered from the side.

 

Yeon-woo looked at Han So-hyeon and smiled, then stepped back a few paces.

 

Then Director Park Chan-hong’s voice was heard from afar.

 

“Ready, action!”

 

With the director’s signal, Jung Ha-gyun returned to being Park Gang-woo.

 

Park Gang-woo was talking with Yoo Chae-yeon, laughing excessively as if he’d had some drinks.

 

Then Pierre Choi appeared.

 

With a swaggering gait, holding champagne and looking around the party venue, he failed to watch where he was going and bumped into Park Gang-woo.

 

Of course, it was an intentional collision.

 

“Damn it, what the…?!”

 

Park Gang-woo frowned as he looked at his now-dampened suit.

He was about to curse according to his true nature but held back, conscious of Yoo Chae-yeon beside him.

 

“Oh my, I’m so sorry. This is my first time at a place like this, so I was looking around in amazement.”

 

Pierre Choi made an infinitely servile expression.

 

His deer-like large eyes had somehow become small, unable to properly meet Park Gang-woo’s gaze, anxiously looking left and right alternately.

 

And his cowering facial expression was so vivid that anyone could feel he was thoroughly frightened and reading the other person’s mood.

 

The production team watching Yeon-woo’s expression being captured on camera in real-time through the monitor was amazed.

 

To think that such servility could be expressed so nakedly from such a sculpture-like handsome face.

Director Park Chan-hong thought that when it came to detailed expression acting alone, Ryu Yeon-woo, though a rookie actor, could compete with anyone.

 

The other production team members watching around Director Park thought the same.

 

 

Park Gang-woo was about to accept the apology and let it slide since it was a good day, but looking to the side, he wasn’t the only one whose clothes were ruined by champagne.

 

Yoo Chae-yeon was looking at her dress with a grimacing face.

 

Park Gang-woo’s mind raced.

 

‘This bastard said this kind of place is his first time, so he’s probably not that powerful.’

 

Park Gang-woo looked at Pierre Choi, who had a servile expression.

 

‘Looking at his pretty face, this guy is a gigolo released for the madams. Right now, it’s more important to score points with Yoo Chae-yeon, who seems to be from an influential family and has a good relationship with me.’

 

Having made up his mind, Park Gang-woo grabbed Pierre Choi by the collar.

 

“Hey. Young man. I don’t mind, but you need to pay for being rude to the lady.”

“Ah, I’m sorry. I’ll pay for the dry cleaning.”

 

Pierre Choi, grabbed by the collar, shows a slightly frightened expression as he frantically searches his back pocket in a servile manner.

 

“Ha, looks like we have someone without money here. Let’s settle this a different way.”

 

Park Gang-woo grabs Pierre Choi by the collar and drags him toward the restroom of the party venue.

 

“Oh my, CEO Park. You don’t need to do this because of me…”

 

Yoo Chae-yeon, no, Jennifer, trails off her words like a fox rather than a deer.

 

Park Gang-woo gestures to Yoo Chae-yeon that it’s nothing serious and heads to the restroom with Pierre Choi.

 

Pierre Choi looks at Yoo Chae-yeon while being dragged away by Park Gang-woo.

 

Yoo Chae-yeon returns to being Jennifer, licking her lips with interest and winking at Pierre Choi.

 

Pierre Choi looks at Jennifer and comically pouts his lips with an expression that says ‘what a sight,’ but when his eyes meet Park Gang-woo’s, he immediately puts on a servile expression, then changes to the expression of an interesting troublemaker when not being watched.

 

This man who shows amazingly varied expressions in such a short time seems like a clown rather than Pierre.

 

“Okay. Cut. Nice.”

 

Director Park Chan-hong was satisfied with Yeon-woo’s varied and perfect acting.

 

Director Park, who extremely rarely shows emotional expression, shouted “nice” and clapped his hands.

 

“The Director’s ‘nice’ came out. That means dinner party today, you guys.”

 

The filming set staff burst into laughter and applause at Director Kang In-chan’s shout.

 

Director Park Chan-hong rode the good momentum of the set and continued straight into the next filming.

 

 

Park Gang-woo grabbed Pierre Choi by the collar and forcibly dragged him toward the restroom.

 

As they turned the corner, men in black suits who had been waiting surrounded them.

 

“What, what’s this? Hey. There seems to be a misunderstanding, but I’m Chairman No’s guest and this guy over there…”

 

Whack—.

Ugh.

 

Kwak Ji-cheol, who had been hiding among the suited men, struck Park Gang-woo’s back of the head with a club.

Park Gang-woo fainted immediately upon being hit.

 

“How was that. Feel better?”

 

Pierre Choi straightens his twisted necktie from being grabbed by the collar and asks Kwak Ji-cheol.

 

“…Yes, I feel very relieved.”

“But you know, what do we do about this. This is just the beginning. Heh.”

 

Pierre Choi kicked the fallen Park Gang-woo’s buttocks with the tip of his dress shoes and laughed chillingly.

 

 

The fallen Park Gang-woo regains consciousness and opens his eyes, but all he sees is darkness.

 

“Mmmmph!”

 

He tried to scream, but because of the cotton stuffed in his mouth, only mumbling came out.

 

Then a voice speaking from beyond the wall could be heard.

 

-That thing from earlier seems to have woken up. Take it out.

 

Bang—!

Crack—.

 

A loud noise accompanied by the sound of wood breaking, and light seeped in.

 

Park Gang-woo’s vision, unable to look at the light properly after adapting to the darkness, gradually recovers.

 

Looking at the wood fragments scattered around, it seems he had been tied up inside a wooden box.
