Chapter 50
It is unbelievable to me that he is the first CEO of KL Entertainment. He is a man that I have never met before in my life.
“Why did you give me a call?”
“I can have a word with you for a moment.”The origin of this chapter's debut can be traced to N0v3l--B1n.
[Oh, let me begin the conversation]
[I’ve heard that one of our employees played a “low-grade” prank at auditioning today.]
“If it’s a low-grade practical joke...” Is this related to Ronald’s issues earlier?
Ryu Sungho continued after a moment of thought.
[This is my apology phone call.]
[And I’m very interested in the actor Kang Jinseok.]
[On a personal level, not on a company level.]

At the coffee shop in Seongsu-dong.
Seo Yeonsoo was wearing a uniform and sighed deeply.
“Haaaay....”
Seo Yeonsoo wipes the floor with a blank face.
It was hard to tell if Seo Yeonsoo was carrying a mop or if the mop was dragging Seo Yeonsoo.
When the manager saw this, he kicked his tongue and said.
“Tut, tut, ... Yeonsoo. When are you going to clean up like that? The customers will be coming soon, so we have to hurry.”
“Yes, yes, yes, yes.”
The manager asked, scratching his head at the appearance of Seo Yeonsoo, who seemed quite lost.
“What is it?”
“Yes, yes, yes, yes.”
“Are you listening to me?”
“Yes, yes, yes, yes.”
“I don’t think you’re listening at all.”
“Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.”
“Jinseok has been in her mind since she didn’t see him for a long time.”
The manager thought as he saw a picture of Jinseok hanging in the middle of the cafe.
“It’s a huge boom because Jinseok suddenly became famous.” Was it bad news for Yeonsoo?
The cafe was doing so well now.
As word spread about “the cafe where Kang Jiseok worked part-time,” fans of the drama “In Spring Without Flowers” began making pilgrimages to the Holy Land.
“It has withered a bit since Nakamura’s death, but Kang Jinseok’s coffee still sells well.
Kang Jinseok Coffee” was a coffee that Jinseok made by mixing this and that for fun when he was working part-time.
A coffee with all the ingredients that can be added to coffee nowadays, such as condensed milk and sugar.
What he gave to some regular customers as a service became popular on SNS, and now it has become a popular menu that should be called a cafe signature.
“It’s too sweet, so there are people who like it and people who don’t like it.”
The manager, who briefly remembered Jinseok, said to Seo Yeonsoo.
“Yeonsoo, Kang Jinseok. LOL.”
“Jinseok Oppa?”
The manager sighed when he saw that Seo Yeonsoo suddenly reacted to the word “Jinseok”.
“No. Have you prepared all the ingredients for ‘Kang Jinseok Coffee’? Yesterday, it was cut off in the middle, so ten customers just left.”
“—Yes, I’m done. It’s full on refrigerators. Very full.”
Seo Yeonsoo replied weakly, leaning on a mop.
“Hey, Yeonsoo. You can call Jinseok if you want to see him. I think he’ll have a lot of time since his drama is over these days.
“— I don’t want to!”
When Seo Yeonsoo shouted loudly, the manager rubbed his ears.
“Why do you have such a loud voice?” Or you can say no. Why are you angry?”
“I’m sorry”
“If it’s not because of Jinseok, then what is it?” “If you’re tired, I’ll get you another position.”
“Then there will be no place when Jinseok comes back later.”
When Seo Yeonsoo spoke in a crawling voice, the manager shook his head.
“It’s because of Jinseok.”
“It’s not!”
“Okay. All right, let’s finish cleaning quickly.”
Seo Yeonsoo replied with a bright smile of service.
Then the bald man said with a wink.
“Oh, actually, I’m not here for coffee. I’m here to drink. I want an iced Americano. “What are you going to have?”
“I’ll have the ‘Kang Jinseok coffee’. What about the Chief of Staff?”
“I’ll have an extra iced tea shot.”
“You’re having that again.”
“That’s my preference.”
The bald man organized the menu and told Seo Yeonsoo, then offered his business card.
“I’m that kind of person.”
Seo Yeonsoo handed over his business card with a dubious gesture.
“—?”
Many customers asked for my number, but this was the first time they gave me a business card.
However, I accepted it carefully because I couldn’t help it, but Seo Yeonsoo was surprised to see the company name on the business card and dropped it.
“I’m sorry.”
“It’s all right.”
“—.”
“The Vice President will tell you why we’re here. “Vice President?”
As the bald man stepped back slightly and said, a woman named “Vice President” stepped forward.
“Hello, I’m Yoon Gayeon from OS Entertainment.”
“Ah, ha, ha, ha. Yes.”
“What’s going on?”
I knew that the former CEO of Yoon Entertainment had gone to another agency like a rumor.
But it was OS Entertainment, an agency founded by OS International.
“Why did you come to see me?”
While pressing her heart, Seo Yeonsoo managed to keep a smile on her face and saw Yoon Gayeon.
Yoon Gayeon said while looking at the name tag ‘Yeonsoo’ on Seo Yeonsoo’s uniform.
“I’m actually here because of Kang Jinseok, but I’m also interested in Yeonsoo.”
“What?”
“You have a good posture... The makeup is also good. I think the camera will also work well. “Did you model for a shopping mall?”
“Oh, no. I’ve never done anything like that.”
“What about being an actor? “Are you interested?”
“Oh, yes. I want to be an actor first.”
Yoon Gayeon clapped her hands and said.
“No wonder. I’m sorry. I didn’t recognize it.”
“Oh, that’s not it!”
When Seo Yeonsoo shook her hand and said in a hurry, Yoon Gayeon took out her business card from her wallet.
“I have a big audition coming up, so I’d like you to apply.” I think I’ll be a good fit for Yeonsoo.
Whether this is a dream or real life.
Seo Yeonsoo took the card with shaking hands and put it in her pocket.
“But I heard that Kang Jinseok worked here for a long time. Is that true?”
“Yes, yes! he worked with me for a long time!”
“It was just a coincidence. I wanted to ask you something.”
Seo Yeonsoo asked with a shaky voice.
“If you want to ask...”
“Yes. Is there anything that Kang Jinseok liked or needed?” Well, he never said anything like that?”
Seo Yeonsoo tilted his head.
“Well, I don’t know. Jinseok doesn’t say that often. He always says that he wants to act well.”
“Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...”
“But why is that...?”
“Oh, that is.”
Yoon Gayeon turned around for a moment and looked at the chief of staff.
The chief of staff did not say anything but just shook his shoulders as if he would do as she pleased.
“We’re trying to recruit him, but there’s a competition.”
“What? There is a competition?”
“Yes, and a formidable one at that.”
