Chapter 140:

The kitchen of the Department of Theater's pub.

Despite being busier than ever due to the influx of orders, the students' morale was higher than ever.

"Three orders of potato wedges! Two lunch sets! Four spicy rice cakes!"

"Three orders of potato wedges, two lunch sets, four spicy rice cakes. Order confirmed!"

"The potato wedges are all gone. What should we do?"

"I'll go buy some from the burger joint in front!"

"Oh, there's that option."

Although it was undoubtedly tough, the "Fighting! Fighting!" chants of the students continued, perhaps because they were working together with Jinseok.

However, among them, there was naturally someone who was dissatisfied, and that unexpected person was Go Seoyoung.

"Why am I here?"

It was okay for her to come and see Jinseok working at the school pub. After all, she was now an employee of "OS Entertainment," Kang Jinseok's team. Following Jinseok wherever he went was also part of her job.

"But to come here to take a picture of actor Kang working at the pub"

However, the reason Go Seoyoung expressed dissatisfaction was that she was not a customer but an employee working in the pub.

"Do they expect me to do kitchen work too?"

Jinseok didn't ask Go Seoyoung to work. It was Jang Sunho who did.

"He told me to do kitchen work?"

It wasn't like Go Seoyoung liked Jang Sunho.

When Go Seoyoung stared at him with disdain, Jang Sunho, who was washing dishes, casually asked, "Why do you keep looking at me like that?"

"Are you asking because you don't know?"

"Yes. I asked because I didn't know. Does Assistant Manager Go Seoyoung, who is asking because she doesn't know, know the answer?"

Even in the face of Go Seoyoung's perplexed face, Jang Sunho responded calmly.

"Are you asking Assistant Manager Go, who doesn't know, for information?"

Go Seoyoung sighed in frustration at Jang Sunho's still-calm voice.

"Taking pictures of actor Kang here and spreading promotional articles is fine. Because I get paid for that."

"Yes."

"But is this going too far? Why do I have to wash dishes?"

"I'm doing it too."

"No, that's not what I mean! Why do the Team Leader and I have to come all the way here to wash dishes? Over there, we could have taken a cozy spot, enjoyed some snacks and soju"

"Do you want to have a drink with me? If you do, we can make a separate appointment-"

"No, that's not it! Seriously, are you doing this on purpose?"

While Go Seoyoung and Jang Sunho were bickering, the students working in the kitchen barely suppressed their laughter.

At first, they were quite surprised when Jang Sunho and Go Seoyoung said they would work in the kitchen. And every time Go Seoyoung grumbled, it was uncomfortable for no reason.

However, as they went through it, it became like a comedy routine, and the students had already gotten used to it.

Watching them bicker, the students in the kitchen, who were accustomed to the newlyweds' squabbles, barely held back their laughter.

It seemed that the students were already used to it as a sort of sitcom.

"I'm also a valuable resource."

"Well, let's not talk anymore."

Seemingly tired of talking, Go Seoyoung responded vaguely.

Phew!

Maybe it was because she didn't understand why she was doing this anymore, but Go Seoyoung sighed and asked bluntly, "No, then tell me the reason. If the purpose of coming here is to take a picture of actor Kang, then just take pictures. Why do I have to do the dishes?"

"Would you like to be served by your assigned actor?"

"Then let's say it's okay for the dishes! What about the pictures? If you want to take pictures, isn't it better to call other reporters instead of me? If information about actor Kang working here is given, reporters will flood in, even more than ten dump trucks. And even the reporters who came to find you were all turned away, right?"

Jang Sunho, pushing a clean cup to the side, calmly replied, "The reason is that the moment other reporters are called, it may look like actor Kang is forcing himself to do a show.'"

"A show?"

"Yes. The reason why the customers are amazed by actor Kang and treat him with joy is that his sincerity is conveyed. The sincerity that says, Right now, I am just a student in the Department of Theater, enjoying my work.'"

""

"But if reporters come rushing in, both actor Kang and the customers will feel uncomfortable. Perhaps they'll think, Kang Jinseok was called here. Is he trying to manage his image?' like how politicians only visit traditional markets and volunteer for coal distribution during election season. Then, it becomes worse than not doing it at all."

"So, did you intentionally send reporters away?"

Calmly speaking, Jang Sunho wiped the foam and moisture from the gloves and then grasped his sides, stretching in various directions.

Go Seoyoung looked at Jang Sunho, who had become slightly more gentle, with a puzzled expression.

"Did you even think about that?"

"Of course. Isn't it basic?"

Thank you for saying that

Oh! It's our diligent Tune Manager! Wow, you're good at washing dishes and good at work too Heek!

Jang Sunho, dealing with the clinging Go Seoyeong, spoke while fastening her seatbelt again.

No, Assistant Manager Go, pull yourself together. What kind of scene is this?

Never mind. I'm going home! Seoul, Gwangjin-gu, Achasan-ro 35 What was it? Where's my house? Tune Manager?

At that, Jinseok's eyes widened, and he asked in a surprised voice.

Manager, are you two in that kind of relationship?

Absolutely not. This person is just drunk right now

What?! I'm not drunk! I've been a journalist for ten years!

Please

After a while, Go Seoyeong, who had calmed down, was finally sent back to her seat by Jang Sunho.

Jang Sunho apologized to Jinseok again.

Actor, I'm really sorry. I'm sorry for even showing you this disgrace.

Haha, it's okay. It's entertaining.

Phew

Jang Sunho, now exhausted, sighed deeply and leaned back into the seat. Until a short while ago, he had been lively until the end of work at the bar, but taking care of Go Seoyeong had drained all the energy from his body.

Um

In the quiet time with only the gentle radio flowing from the speaker, Seo Yeonsoo cautiously spoke.

Manager Jang Sunho That's correct, right?

Yes, that's correct.

Sorry, but may I ask you one thing?

A little tired, but not to the extent that he couldn't answer, Jang Sunho nodded.

I'll answer if I can.

Oh, yeah. There's an OS Entertainment audition, right? I saw an article before, and it said that the manager was interviewed. Among the friends who applied together, there's one who received a rejection notice, and there are still some who haven't received any contact.

Yes.

Has the announcement for the successful applicants not been made yet? Or has it already been done, and are all those who haven't received separate contacts considered failed? I'm curious.

Before Jang Sunho could answer Seo Yeonsoo's question, Jinseok asked.

Yeonsoo, did you apply to our company?

Yes? Oh, yes. Somehow, I ended up applying Hehe.

Really? Then

Why didn't I see it? Jinseok closed his mouth.

There was no need to tell Seo Yeonsoo that I had seen the profiles of other applicants.

And considering the number of applicants, it was natural not to see them all.

As Jinseok was about to speak, Seo Yeonsoo grinned.

"Why?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just hope it goes well. Really."

While Jinseok spoke with a smile, Jang Sunho looked at his mobile phone and said,

"Some of those who haven't received the announcement yet have been accepted, and some have been rejected."

Upon hearing this, Seo Yeonsoo's face awkwardly stiffened.

"Ah So, if you haven't received a rejection notice yet, it doesn't mean you've been accepted?"

"Yes. But you'll find out soon. I scheduled an email to be sent tomorrow at midnight. Most will probably be rejections."

"Midnight? At 00:00?"

"Yes, not much time left."

Jang Sunho casually mentioned, putting his mobile phone back in his pocket. In contrast, Seo Yeonsoo hurriedly took out her phone.

[00:00]

The clock in the car pointed to midnight.

Vroom!

Seo Yeonsoo's phone buzzed.
