I Was Mistaken as a Monstrous Genius Actor Chapter 237
( Tsunami (4) )
Another reality. Someone else’s world. Park Ha-seong says that he lives a low life, struggling to make money. Kang Woo-jin with his life. The sign language of his wife that Woojin can see through his eyes.
[“Honey, I’ll stay here playing with that kid. “The party is so boring.”]
At that moment, a cold wind passed by Kang Woo-jin’s face. My five senses were working properly. Of course, it was Park Ha-seong’s. Therefore, it also belonged to Woojin. Is it because of the chilly weather? When Woojin saw her sign language, two feelings arose. The warmth was mixed with a cool sense of reality.
The first was the pros and cons.
Is it worth it for me to spend my time here? Aren’t you wasting your time?
For those who are socially in the sky, it may only be temporary entertainment, but for Kang Woo-jin, whose debt is weighing down his body like gravity even at this moment, it was a bloody struggle. Ultimately, it’s money. Is this time worth money to me?
The second was inconvenience.
A middle-aged man with gray hair and pomade who looks like he is the leader of a chaebol family. The wife who appears to be the man’s wife. How much wealth do they have? A few tens of billions of dollars would be easy, and even trillions of dollars would not be boring. On the other hand, Kang Woo-jin. No, Park Ha-seong didn’t even have 1 million won in his bank account.
In other words, Kang Woo-jin was just a livestock here.
I felt that way.
‘Fuck, I feel dirty for no reason.’
It was similar to the suit Kang Woo-jin is wearing right now. It seemed like it was all just a flashy display to deceive the eye for a moment. Disgust came over me. My insides were throbbing subtly, like seasickness. It’s twisted. The suit that already didn’t fit my body felt even more cumbersome.
No one mentioned it, but Kang Woo-jin’s self-esteem hit rock bottom.
Park Ha-seong’s everything was like this.
Defeatism to the point where it stinks.
Inside him was a landfill full of rotten things. It smelled. There was a foul and rotten smell. It always distorted the judging. The perspective is negative. Everything is unfavorable. At that moment, a beautiful classical melody sounded in Woojin’s ears. You might hear it at the party. The sky is too clear.
However, only Kang Woo-jin was dyed black.
It was at this time.
“Um, how is it?”
The middle-aged man heard his wife’s request and spoke in a deep voice.
“My wife seems to like you. “How can you keep my wife company until this event is over?”
The tone was soft and even a smile was added. Is that the leisure of a chaebol family? After hearing the question, Woojin scratched his chin slightly and checked his wife’s face. She also has a faint smile on her face. If you were to shape the word ‘elegant’, wouldn’t it look exactly like that?
It is elegant, it has elegance and dignity, it is sophisticated.
What else is there? Woojin was stunned for a moment when he saw his wife, but then suddenly came to his senses. There’s nothing difficult about talking, but Woojin was working right now. Let’s turn our heads. How to suck honey without causing any harm in the current situation? Also, can I get paid more than my hourly wage?
Park Ha-seong or Kang Woo-jin were not that perceptive or resourceful.
Okay, let’s leave the little things to that chaebol guy and reveal our true feelings.
“It is possible. As you can see, I am… in the middle of work. “If I leave, I could cause harm.”
“Um-no no. Just tell me whether you want to do it or not.”
“…I think it will be okay if you just talk to the manager.”
“Please handle it without any problems? Would that be difficult? okay. I’ll take care of that part. Then, can you please help me out? huh?”
As the middle-aged man finished adjusting his well-fitting full suit, Kang Woo-jin, who swallowed heavily, took a step towards him and hushed his voice.
“thank you. But today I couldn’t think of anything that involved sign language.”
A middle-aged man with a deep smile quietly looks into the eyes of Kang Woo-jin in front of him. His gaze was like that of a serpent, but his mysterious charisma stood out.
“I like your eyes.”
“yes?”
“It’s better to be miserable than to be like a tentacle.”
Is it miserable? Woojin felt something dirty, but the middle-aged man paid no heed to it and took out his wallet from inside his suit.
“Well, that’s neat. “I’m buying your sign language skills and time.”
The middle-aged man took out two pieces of paper from his wallet and stuffed them into the pocket of Woojin’s suit jacket.
“Please play nice with your wife. “Don’t flirt.”
“……All right.”
He smiled and showed sign language to his wife behind Woojin’s head.
[“I’m playing. Just in case, I’m asking, aren’t you in love with this friend?”]
The wife, still smiling, answered with both hands.
[“Go and take care of your work.”]
[“Okay. “I’ll text you.”]
The middle-aged man who tapped Woojin’s shoulder a couple of times turned around. With only the wife and Kang Woo-jin left, the wife sat down on the chair again and tapped the empty chair in front with her right hand.
It was a motion directed at Kang Woo-jin.
[“what are you doing? I have to work.”]
What happened now? Park Ha-seong or Kang Woo-jin had to have a conversation with their wife without even having time to check the amount of money in their pockets. My time with her wasn’t as special as I thought.
[“What about your parents?”]
[“They passed away.”]
[“I’m sorry.”]
[“No, it’s okay.”]
[“Then are you alone now?”]
[“How is your wife?”]
[“ me? I have a husband who I just met, and I have two sons and a daughter. But why did you learn sign language?”]
[“My mother was a little unwell. So I learned it when I was young.”]
Simple household surveys and conversations about unimportant topics.
How are you usually doing, why do you work here, what are you worried about these days, what food do you like, etc. It was a very trivial conversation, but for some reason, the wife was happy. I had a good laugh. Her smile may have been bright, but Woojin enjoyed the conversation.
Is it because it’s been a while since I used sign language? Or because it reminds you of your mom?
[“He’s the same age as my oldest. “I live outside now, so I don’t see him often, but… maybe that’s why I have feelings for Ha-seong.”]
I don’t know. Well, there is no need to find the right answer.
Time flew by.
The sky was gradually getting darker. At this time, my wife’s cell phone vibrated. Soon she smiled and shook Woojin’s hand. There was also a sign saying, “Cheer up.” My wife is moving away. Only after she had completely disappeared did Kang Woo-jin put his hand into his suit jacket pocket and check the paper the middle-aged man had given him.
“……crazy.”
Two checks worth 1 million won. That is, it was 2 million won. oh my god. How can you throw away the money you should have worked so hard to earn for a month so easily? Well, to you, this is just a piece of toilet paper.
The funny thing is.
“huh?”
A business card was also included. It belonged to a middle-aged man.
Why did you give me a business card?
Kang Woo-jin’s heart beat slightly.
This was because a crack appeared in his daily life, which was always the same.
The background and time have changed since then.
A narrow studio room late at night. Kang Woo-jin is in front of his laptop. I searched for people I met today.
As expected, they were conglomerates.
What a family. In terms of ranking, beings living on other planets are in the top 5. However, Woojin found something interesting about the articles from the past. The middle-aged man with the pomaded hair I saw today.
No, Chairman Yoon Jeong-bae.
Chairman Yoon Jeong-bae had a strange nickname a long time ago. It was the male version of ‘Cinderella.’ The eldest daughter of a chaebol family and the son-in-law who is no different from an ordinary person. That was Chairman Yoon Jeong-bae’s past, and the eldest daughter of a chaebol family was the wife that Woo-jin saw today.
The name is Hyeonji Yoo.
“…If this is the case, then does the real power lie with this wife? “Is the chairman just the president of pants?”
Well, it might be different now. Do you know anything? Anyway, these contents just feel like novels to Kang Woo-jin. Kang Woo-jin, who was looking at his laptop, lay down in a narrow studio apartment. Then I turn my gaze and look at the 2 million won check and business card I received today.
The important thing is the business card. Why did they give me that?
It won’t mean anything. Woojin’s mind was jumbled as he looked up at the dull ceiling. The best way is to contact them.
But why?
“Ha-I wonder if you’re piercing your nose for no reason.”
An unknown sense of anxiety overlapped. I feel like I’m about to open Pandora’s box. Strangely enough, it gives me goosebumps. But on the other hand, it also felt like an unspoken opportunity. Reason is telling you to ignore them, but your instincts are urging you to keep in touch.
Kang Woo-jin sees the 2 million won check again.
money. Ah, I don’t know, let’s just think about money. As a result, it was the next day that Woojin sent a text message to the contact information on his business card. The content was simple. ‘I will gratefully accept the money you gave me.’ It was at night when I received a call from Chairman Yoon Jeong-bae.
“Where is home?”
The chairman of a chaebol family came to the studio of Kang Woo-jin or Park Ha-seong. Woojin quickly got into the luxury sedan. Chairman Yoon Jeong-bae, who was in the back seat with an open tie and shirt and no suit jacket, looked a little disheveled. There was also a faint smell of alcohol.
He looked out the window and spoke in a deep voice.
“It was my first time.”
Woojin, who was filled with tension, looked closely. The smell of cigarettes permeated the driver’s seat in a quiet car except for the sound of the exhaust. Woojin swallowed his saliva.
“……yes?”
“That’s why my wife acts like that.”
“ah.”
“We talked about you all the way home, right? “That scraggly woman had a good laugh.”
A shaggy woman? Woojin narrowed his eyebrows so that it would not be noticeable. Either way, Chairman Yoon Jeong-bae smiled and made eye contact with Kang Woo-jin.
“The debt is roughly less than 100 million won.”
“Are you talking about me?”
“okay. It’s as if the parents left the burden on when they left. You must have had a hard time. So, you’re just going to work until you die, right?”
“Isn’t that a bit… harsh?”
“Is it severe? Then let me lighten your mood. How about I pay that debt back? Plus, I’ll give you a job. “Wouldn’t it be 500 per month?”
What is this crazy guy saying now? Kang Woo-jin was a mixture of irritation and curiosity.
“What are you saying now?”
“Are you sad? Okay then 600. What you do is simple. “You can be my wife’s secretary.”
Chairman Yoon Jeong-bae crossed his legs and rubbed his chin. And then he laughed.
“You’re a good secretary, but I’m just saying you should be a valet. I become my wife’s companion, play with her, eat with her, and go shopping with her. We stick together except when we sleep and when I don’t call. She’s the one on her days off. “I’ll discuss it with my wife and decide.”
“……?”
“Of course, you can come and live in my house because there are many rooms.”
Chairman Yoon Jeong-bae, who was reciting, leaned close to Kang Woo-jin next to him and whispered.
“There is only one goal. “First of all, blindly make my wife depend on you.”
Woojin’s eyes dilated. My heart was pounding like it was going to burst. I wanted to open the door and run away right away. It was that kind of feeling. However, Kang Woo-jin listened to the foul smell that existed somewhere inside him.
“…I’ll try.”
And Kang Woo-jin. No, I heard Park Ha-seong’s voice.
“I thought this would be a shortcut, like a turning point in my life.”
No, it was the beginning of catastrophe.
Around noon on the same day.
The location was a small theater titled ‘Small Theater on the Clouds’ near Hongik University Station. Although it was a small theater, the building was much larger than his birthplace. It was a small theater with three floors, a cafe and a simple brunch shop, a medium-sized hall, and quite a few waiting rooms. There was even an external parking lot attached.
It is quite large in scale and offers a variety of themes.
Not only performances, but also plays, various events, celebrity fan meetings, etc. Usually, rentals are made by time slot, but today, ‘The Small Theater on the Clouds’ was rented out all day. A film company borrowed it in its entirety.
It was the ‘Leech’ team.
The audition was scheduled for about 2 hours later. A normal audition would not have gone this far, but considering the value of the names of the actors participating in today’s audition, it was natural to rent the entire venue. If you are considerate, be considerate.
For top to A-list actors, a one-person waiting room is standard.
The ‘Leech’ team knew which actors were coming, but the actors coming to the audition had no information about the other actors. It was better not to have anything. Because it would be uncomfortable. Well, since they are also challengers, there will inevitably be encounters, but they had to be kept to a minimum.
anyway.
-Tung!
Even though it was early, a white van was parked in the parking lot outside the small theater. It was a van that anyone could see a celebrity riding in, and the back door of the van, which was quiet for a moment, opened and a woman wearing khaki shorts got out. Long hair down to the chest and moles under the eyes.
It was Hwarin.
She holds a thin wad of paper in one hand and looks at a rather large small theater building.
“Huh-”
A small breath. A fat manager and teams were attached to her. The director was the first to open his mouth.
“It’s definitely director Ahn Ga-bok’s work, so the auditions are huge. “They rent out an entire small theater.”
Hwarin shrugged her shoulders as she walked away.
“It’s not a typical audition. It’s too big to be held in a movie studio or office.”
“That’s right. By the way, is Kang Woo-jin really appearing as a judge? Hwarin, are you really okay? No matter how I think about it, this is a bit harsh.”
“Teacher Shim Han-ho is there too. Woojin- No, I feel more comfortable with Kang Woojin.”
“H-I don’t know.”
“Whether it works or not, when will I experience a work like this?”
Hwarin, who answered, had great ambitions.
‘At first, there was Woojin’s influence, but now that I’ve come this far, I really want to do well. Phew, but I’m really nervous. It’s okay. You’ll feel better when you see Woojin’s face.’
She entered the small theater building with her team. It was still quiet. Hwarin walked towards the elevator and asked the manager.
“Oppa, where was our waiting room?”
“2-B. It’ll be on the second floor. “Let’s go first.”
“huh.”
The fat manager pressed the elevator button.
It was at this time.
“…Hwarin?”
A familiar female voice was heard from the entrance. Thanks to this, the entire team, including Hwarin, turned their heads. Five or six people are standing. Among them, a woman wearing a long white padded jacket was at the forefront. Long straight hair and tall stature. It was Hong Hye-yeon. Hwarin’s eyes widened when she saw her. Hong Hye-yeon had a similar face.
It was natural.
Because neither of them knew.
Soon Hong Hye-yeon asked Hwarin with wide eyes.
“Are you here… for the audition?”
Hwarin asked back with her mouth slightly open.
“Oh, you too?”
