Episode 26

 

Just as Cha Yeonwoo, Korea’s top cold handsome man in the entertainment industry, had the real name Lim Dongmin, Seo Hajun, who was Korea’s top warm handsome man at the time, also had a separate real name.

 

…Woon Seong-ha.

 

No wonder the name seemed familiar when I first saw it! My memory had been working well.

 

Woon Seong-ha was incredibly famous after all…

 

Seo Hajun was widely known as someone who was excellent at both acting and looks. He even sang well, so later he even took on the role of MC for music programs.

 

Come to think of it, he also had connections with Dojehyeon. The noir genre film where they played prison inmates together was successful, and they were also cast together in travel programs.

 

‘That movie… even if it lacked artistry, it was said to have the highest commercial value.’

 

That’s why there was a saying going around that extremely high commercial value becomes art.

 

[They criticized it for having no artistry, but Dojehyeon and Seo Hajun’s faces are fucking Renaissance art] ★★★★★

 

[I just wanted to get between those two.. I wish they would fight over me…//] ★★★★☆

 

[Just looking at those two brothers’ faces made me laugh, it’s a comedy] ★★★★☆

 

It even became a meme as funny movie comments, but the current Woon Seong-ha probably doesn’t know anything about it.

 

Maybe it’s because it’s a name that wouldn’t have many people with the same name. Or maybe he didn’t want to reveal his past. Seo Hajun was active while hiding his real name, but when his past was exposed, his real name was revealed along with it.

 

I heard he was bullied because of his family circumstances and eventually dropped out of high school, wandering in depression.

 

He was so poor that he could barely manage one meal a day.

 

Even so, he eventually took on all kinds of part-time jobs to feed his sick grandmother who only looked to him, and then debuted as a magazine model and became a hot topic.

 

‘It’s not easy for Koreans to just pass by such a warm handsome face…’

 

Anyway, I know that Woon Seong-ha, who was making money as a magazine model, also discovered his acting talent and rose to stardom at once.

 

Of all people, Woon Seong-ha’s acting teacher was Seong Hye-sim, our teacher.

 

In my past life, our teacher, who couldn’t overcome her slump, discovered Seo Hajun and resumed her acting career while teaching him.

 

‘I’m a bit jealous.’

 

Sorry Seong-ha, but in this life, I’m the teacher’s number one student. Get in line, man!

 

Facing the clueless-looking Woon Seong-ha, I screamed internally.

 

‘Still, Seo Hajun really acted well.’

 

In my past life, I mainly self-taught acting by watching scripts and videos released on the internet. Seo Hajun’s acting videos were very helpful at that time.

 

Especially the free acting video from his first work audition that established his image as an acting genius.

 

‘That video must have had over ten million views.’

 

I looked at Woon Seong-ha with envy.

 

I wanted to grab Woon Seong-ha right away and tell him that his genius and star quality were at that level, that he had the kind of face that would get a free pass to meet parents from any Korean citizen.

 

Though if I said that, I’d probably just be told I was crazy.

 

By the way, so the school where he was bullied was Yeongpung High School.

 

Certainly when the past scandal broke, the people who bullied Seo Hajun were dug up one by one. Ju Suyeon wasn’t among them.

 

‘Did Uncle pull some strings?’

 

He’s certainly the type of person who would do that and more, Uncle is.

 

“Ju Suduk, that bastard…”

 

“You’ve been muttering to yourself since earlier… Are you okay?”

 

“Just stay still. Or clean up that banana milk you threw!”

 

“That wasn’t thrown because I hated you. I was just frustrated…”

 

It was just a casual remark, but Woon Seong-ha dejectedly wiped the floor hard with tissue. He seemed inwardly bothered by the rejection.

 

Maybe it was because of his gentle impression and fluffy hair when he stayed still. He looked like a golden retriever with its tail drooping.

 

‘Then the Wave Actors transfer issue makes some sense too.’

 

Once I realized that Woon Seong-ha was Seo Hajun, my curiosities began to be resolved.

 

Most notably, the Wave Actors transfer issue.

 

Rumors circulated as stock market gossip that Wave Actors was desperate to recruit Seo Hajun, but eventually Seo Hajun announced his position that he would not transfer to Wave Actors.

 

‘If it’s because of Ju Suyeon, that would make sense.’

 

The real owner of Wave Actors is my grandfather, Chairman Ju Taeback.

 

If he was such a talent that Grandfather would covet, he surely would have shown his face directly.

 

An ordinary person would have said “Welcome!” and accepted the offer to have Dongwoo Group’s Ju Taeback as their backing.

 

‘But Seo Hajun would have had bad blood with Dongwoo…’

 

He wouldn’t have wanted to join hands with the family of the woman who bullied him to death and made him drop out. Even if it had nothing to do with Grandfather.

 

Suddenly a good idea occurred to me.

 

What if I heal Woon Seong-ha thoroughly, let him take acting lessons earlier than in his past life… raise him diligently and present him to Grandfather early?

 

‘No, first it’s important to get him interested in acting.’

 

When his past scandal broke, Seo Hajun had once said in an interview that he started acting for money, but now he loved acting more than anyone.

 

‘I’ll make you love acting!’

 

I won’t let you wander, won’t let you starve… As much as Ju Suyeon made your life hell, I’ll make you want to live.

 

Our teacher too… it would be good to introduce you. If the second student is a genius like Seo Hajun, it would be an honor for me too.

 

Having finished my thoughts, I crouched down and made eye contact with Woon Seong-ha, who had been wiping the floor.

 

Woon Seong-ha’s brown pupils, which had been shaking at first, gradually stabilized.

 

“Hajun, no… Seong-ha.”

 

“…Yeah.”

 

“First, thank you for worrying about me. But I’m fine.”

 

“There’s no way Ju Suyeon will just let this go…!”

 

“She’ll have no choice but to let it go.”

 

Since I returned to Jaedamjae, even the usual petty fights have decreased as she watches Grandfather’s mood.

 

“So stop worrying about that…”

 

After smiling nonchalantly, I grabbed Woon Seong-ha’s hand and pulled him up.

 

“Want to skip school with me today?”

 

Come on, with me.

 

I’ll take you to a place you can’t help but love.

 

***

 

“You… were an actor?”

 

“This is my first work though.”

 

The place Ju Sae-i took Woon Seong-ha to was a filming set.

 

Sae-i’s filming schedule was in the evening, so she had planned to go after attending all her classes, but she arrived at the filming set early to show Woon Seong-ha more of the scene.

 

“Is that Sae-i’s friend next to her?”

 

“Yes. He’s handsome, right?”

 

“We could use him as an actor right away.”

 

The staff member who saw Woon Seong-ha’s face smacked his lips. Without even hiding his covetous look, the staff member patted Woon Seong-ha’s back.

 

“Watch carefully. I hope we can meet as an actor next time.”

 

“…Thank you.”

 

Woon Seong-ha shyly bowed his head deeply. However, as if he had never bowed, he soon raised his head straight up.

 

For the first time in his life, the actors’ performance began before his eyes.

 

“…”

 

Whether his past life statement about coming to love acting wasn’t empty words, Woon Seong-ha kept his eyes shining as he watched the actors working on the filming.

 

Sae-i, who was getting ready while glancing at Woon Seong-ha’s expression, cheered internally.

 

‘This is working.’

 

He sat still for hours, taking in the scene with bright, eager eyes, looking like the epitome of innocence. He seemed almost completely won over.

 

It was hard to believe that the acting genius Seo Hajun was on the verge of finding his dream early because of me.

 

“What kind of role do you play?”

 

“I am…”

 

Barely calming her overwhelming feelings, Ju Sae-i pondered what answer to give Woon Seong-ha.

 

“Well, a spirited and sharp girl. She’s in one-sided love.”

 

“Who is she in one-sided love with?”

 

“Her mother.”

 

Yeon Doyeon was in a sense in one-sided love with her mother. Getting upset and gloomy watching her mother who doesn’t love her, then smiling brightly when occasionally given attention.

 

The relationship with Yu Hajin was also important, but the part to show Woon Seong-ha today was the scene with her mother.

 

“Let’s go into Sae-i’s scene, friend should watch carefully. Our Sae-i is the ace.”

 

When Ju Sae-i left her side, Woon Seong-ha’s gaze followed Sae-i.

 

The filming began immediately.

 

“Do, Dohun…”

 

A mother who had lost her mind after her son’s death.

 

“Please, please…! How many times do I have to tell you that oppa is dead before you understand…!”

 

“Our son…”

 

“Why am I always pushed aside even when oppa dies. Why does mom always make me…”

 

“…”

 

“Why do you keep making me feel miserable…”

 

A daughter who has unrequited love for a mother who won’t look at her, desperately craving attention.

 

Woon Seong-ha, who had been watching Ju Sae-i’s acting, clenched his fists tightly.

 

For a moment, he had that thought.

 

That he wanted to try learning how to act.

 

It was the moment when Woon Seong-ha’s blocked world began to expand because of Ju Sae-i.
