Chapter 88

The coworkers looked stunned when they heard "Grand Prize. They looked at each other and began to speak with their eyes.

"I can't believe it. It's the Grand Prize for Acting. Even if it's the director's work, it's not a grand prize for a newcomer. Is it?

"Give the grand prize to a rookie supporting actor, who would like that?"

Of course, it wasn't Na Jinho who couldn't read the atmosphere of such employees.

"It's just a joke. He's not gonna get the grand prize, even if he's an actor in my work."

When Na Jinho said this with a smile, the employees breathed a sigh of relief.

"What should we do then?"

"Let's give two awards, the Rookie Award and the Best Supporting Actor Award."

"Director, you know what's wrong with you. If you give two awards to a newcomer, the actors will talk behind you. Besides, actor Kang Jinseok is almost a newcomer."

The employee said in a tired voice as if he didn't have the strength to make a joke.

Na Jinho said to the employee as if he didn't care.

"If they choose, tell them to act better than him! Or they can get a better evaluation."

"—."

"I heard that public opinion is on Kang Jinseok's side anyway." Then what are you looking at? It's not the first time a rookie has won two awards."

The employees looked at each other again at Na Jinho's words. It was a matter of exchanging opinions with their eyes as to whether it would be okay to continue as it was.

In the end, the employees agreed. It was not wrong, and the award was the responsibility of the station.

As Na Jinho said, there is no need to look at other people's faces. Rather, it was an opportunity for Kang Jinseok and BDD to become stronger.

When the most difficult item on the agenda was resolved, the employees' faces immediately lit up. After that, the meeting proceeded quickly.

"Well, Mr. Commissioner."

In the end, just before the meeting ended, an employee asked.

"Are you still in touch with actor Kang Jinseok?"

"I don't really these days. Why?"

"Oh, I'm just curious. I think you used to contact him a lot."

The clerk said as if it was nothing, but Na Jinho could sense his intention.

"You want me to help you cast him in your next movie?"

"Well, it's not like that. Yes, that's actually true. If you don't have any plans, I thought it would be good to at least have a meeting."

The employee was slightly surprised and smiled awkwardly at Na Jinho who had read his mind.

For such an employee, Na Jinho looked strange and shrugged his shoulders.

"I want to help, but I guess I can't. I heard that the script is piling up in front of actor Kang Jinseok."

***

"Wow, Jinseok's face looks good." "How did your skin get better after losing weight?"

Min Kyungsoo looked at my face and asked. I was hungry and had no energy, but I answered as cheerfully as I could.

"I ate only green juice for a few days and my skin was incredibly nourished. It feels like I gave my skin something to eat...."

"Green juice?"

"Yes, there's a healthy juice my manager made for me. I brought it with me, would you like to try some?"

"No. I'm a person who gets sick when I eat something healthy. I'll only accept your heart."

"—-? Yes?"

"When you eat something healthy, you get sick..."

On the way to the award ceremony. I rode in a van with Min Kyungsoo, Park Woohyun, Lee Nayeon, Han Jehoon and Lee Hyunah.

Normally, they don't travel as a team for awards ceremonies. This is because I want to end the year with a "single spotlight.

Even though the public's interest in the Acting Grand Prize is not as high as it used to be, it is still a big event that attracts the attention of the whole nation.

But the reason we all went together was because Min Kyungsoo said he wanted to imitate what he saw at the American Academy Awards.

Four or five close actors looked cool walking on the red carpet together.

Fortunately, other seniors joined in to see if Min Kyungsoo's idea was interesting.

"We're almost there."

I could see the awards ceremony from a distance. Colorful lights were shining here and there. As I approached the awards ceremony, my heart was pounding and I was nervous.

"Jinseok, are you nervous?"

Park Woohyun asked in a casual tone, not worried.

"What?"

When I unconsciously asked the question, Park Woohyun laughed and said.

"You were staring blankly at the window."

"Oh..."

Jinseok gave the class president a ‘resort pass'. It was a product that Jinseok got as an event at a baseball stadium in the past.

I should at least call Jinseok to thank him. His busy right now, so maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Then the loud voice of the host was heard on the TV.

[2023 BDD Drama, Rookie Award Winner...]...!

The class president's eyes naturally turned to the TV. On the TV, a woman in a sky-high dress was smiling with a cue card.

["Spring Without Flowers"] [It's Kang Jin Seok!]

As soon as the host spoke, Jinseok's face appeared on the TV. Jinseok bowed to the other actors around him, who congratulated him with a confused expression.

The class president nodded with a happy smile.

"As an outsider of acting, it's obvious to me because his good at acting. Hmm?

While the class president was happy, the climactic scene of Jinseok's "In Spring Without Flowers" began to play on the television.

The class president was nervous when he saw it.

"There's no way my face is going to be on the screen. I'm pretty much edited out when it's other people.

The class president has not yet told his family that he was an extra in "Spring Without Flowers."

"What?"

The daughter, who was watching the TV blankly, pointed her hand at the screen and shouted as she approached the TV.

"Isn't that our dad?"

His wife, who had gently closed her eyes at his daughter's words, opened them.

"Oh, is that right? Why are you there?"

The highlights of "Spring Without Flowers" were playing on TV. Nakamura's first appearance. The awesome appearance of the class president eating rice soup caught the viewers' attention as much as Jinseok's.

Of course, there was enough time for the daughter and wife to recognize the class president.

"Daddy, Daddy! What? When did you film the drama?

"No, more than that! Why do you come out there?! Did you always go hiking at work to film?!"

The daughter and wife grabbed his shoulder and shook and screamed. The head of the work team decided to stick out his fins first.

"Oh no. Why is Dad on TV? He looks like me...."

Meanwhile, Jinseok began to express his feelings about the award on TV.

[Hello, I'm Kang Jinseok who won the Rookie Award.]

First of all... I'm so grateful to receive such a great award.[On the table prepared by other seniors and staff...]

"No, it was a real father before!

"I saw it clearly too! Did you really come out in a drama?"

In front of him, his daughter examined him, and next to him, his wife examined him.

"Oh, that's not it? I guess he's just a rough-looking actor like me."

The class president pretended to be as nonchalant as possible, but his voice was different than usual.

"How can there be two people in the world who look as mean as their father? It doesn't make sense. No doppelgangers, no fathers."

"Doyeon, are you repeating this?"

"I don't know about rerunning it, but it will probably be uploaded to YouTube."

The daughter and the wife spoke in an excited voice as if they were surprised.

But he kept saying, "Is it your dad or not?" I really like Kang Jinseok!" and "You. Hurry up and tell the truth.

Of course, the class president always denied the accusations.

"Oh, by the way. It's not true!"

But then.

[I was able to continue acting without giving up thanks to the Seongsu warehouse staff and the cafe owner].

[In particular, I remember President Kwak Dupal saying, "If you work hard without losing your original spirit, you will definitely rise." I won't forget this, and I will continue to work hard. Thank you].

After Jinseok's clear acceptance speech, he bowed deeply.

"...."

The class president never imagined that he would say his name at the awards ceremony. While watching TV, he felt overwhelmed without realizing it.

"Huh... by the way."

Jinseok, thinking like his son, told his name and it was heartbreaking.

But his impression didn't last long.

"What? You're even saying your father's name!"

"Honey! What are you?! What were you doing out there?"

The daughter and his wife grabbed the class president and shook him around.

TN: The guy in the warehouse they call them class president so don't get confuse it's not the class president in the university. L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
