Chapter 74: It’s because of my background.

Among the writers, directors, and actors who had never worked with Yoo Yeon Seo, he was an unknown figure. His reputation grew as his dirty personality and uncontrollable actions spread from mouth to mouth.

Among the staff, there was a rumor that if you made eye contact with Yoo Yeon Seo, you would never find a job in the entertainment industry.

“Hyung!”

“Hyojun-ah.”

A close actor friend of Park Seunghwan came over and greeted him warmly. Go Hyojun, who was two years younger than Park Seunghwan, had played the lead role in a movie that attracted 10 million viewers last year. He was one of the top actors with a high name value and popularity.Cheêck out latest novels on novel/bin(.)com

“Hyung, you lost a lot of weight.”

“I just came back from a nice vacation.”

“Right. I’m enjoying your variety show too.”

Park Seunghwan said that he agreed to appear on ‘Welcome to the Guest House’ on a whim because he wanted to go on a vacation for a long time. The PD was lucky to catch him.

As Park Seunghwan and Go Hyojun were chatting and catching up, Park Seunghwan turned his head.

“You know him, right?”

“Of course. Hello, Yeonseo-ssi.”

Yoo Yeon Seo felt that he couldn’t just sit there with so many eyes on him, so he got up and shook Go Hyojun’s hand.

“Yes, hello. Senior-nim.”

“I enjoyed your drama.”

“Thank you. I also liked your movie.”

Yoo Yeon Seo’s rude behavior didn’t discriminate between seniors and juniors... But when he acted politely and differently from the rumors, Go Hyojun’s eyes sparkled.

“By the way, hyung, you’re taking care of your junior actors so well? Except for Yoonjung and Suho.”

“Really?”

“Hyung’s nickname is ghost.”

Wasn’t he a friendly hyung? Yoo Yeon Seo tilted his head. Park Seunghwan had looked at him with displeasure at the meeting of the variety show cast, but he changed his attitude afterwards.

“Really, hyung?”

“Hey, that’s an exaggeration.”

They were a family living together for a month, so he actively suggested to have a meal together a few times. If Park Seunghwan hadn’t approached them first, they wouldn’t have become so close.

“People might think I’m trying to catch them.”

Go Hyojun glared at Park Seunghwan with a sharp look. Park Seunghwan, who came from a theater background, was famous for teasing his juniors. And the one who usually got teased was Go Hyojun.

Park Seunghwan smiled lightly and patted Yoo Yeon Seo’s back.

“He’s pretending not to, but he’s really nice.”

“Me?”

The other people who were listening nearby wondered if they heard wrong and opened their eyes wide.

My goodness, he said he was nice to the rudest person in the entertainment industry. Even Yoo Yeon Seo himself looked at him and said, what the hell are you talking about?

Park Seunghwan smiled faintly at the bewildered Yoo Yeon Seo. Actually, he felt ashamed for having a prejudice against him because of his bad reputation, so he tried to be nice to him. But the more he saw him, the more he liked him.

Yoo Yeon Seo was a different person from the rumors when he was on the island. He was polite and attentive without showing it. He even volunteered for things that weren’t his business when he was bored, and he did well.

‘He’s not the type to try to fit in with the upper class... Did he really like me?’

Even Go Hyojun, who was listening in front of him, noticed that Park Seunghwan’s attitude was different from when he dealt with other juniors, and he saw Yoo Yeon Seo differently.

“Then that’s good. I was actually scared when I heard the rumors.”

Yoo Yeon Seo didn’t panic and smiled lightly. There was no malice in Go Hyojun’s words. He rather liked it that he said it openly without being hypocritical.

“You look good with long hair, let’s see each other at the reading.”

“Okay.”

Go Hyojun didn’t just come here. He was going to film ‘The Deprived People’ with Yoo Yeon Seo. Go Hyojun left, and the other actors who were just watching nearby came over one by one.

“Hello, senior-nim.”

“Oh, you’re here?”

Park Seunghwan greeted his juniors casually. There were a lot of people gathered around them.

‘Is it because of Seunghwan hyung?’

Park Seunghwan was a great actor who had the skills and filmography that an actor should have, and he also had a wide network of contacts, so he was a good person to know.

‘There’s something else.’

The first thing he did when he came to Korea was to ask the PD to edit that scene. The PD nagged him, saying it wouldn’t work, but Yoo Yeon Seo was firm.

“Would that be okay?”

Even Jinsuho, who was listening from the side, looked at Yoo Yeon Seo with his head down.

Even if he didn’t say anything, One Seven’s agency, AST Enter, would have requested to edit it.

“Who asked you to know? It’s already over.”

Yoo Yeon Seo shrugged his shoulders. The camera zoomed in on Yoo Yeon Seo and Park Seunghwan. They quickly changed their expressions and smiled faintly at the corners of their mouths.

Why go on the broadcast for doing something great, the person who knows knows.

[My lord, Obeomsoo has left AST Enter.]

[Did he leave on his own?]

[He says so, but he must have been fired.]

He got the money he stole back, and he apologized to the president directly. Even if it was revealed that he embezzled the money, they would blame it on Obeomsoo and cover it up by saying that the problematic employee resigned.

[Cutting off the tail.]

[I think so too.]

If it was revealed that Yoo Yeon Seo invested, One Seven’s miraculous comeback success story would be tarnished.

And even if there was a controversy later that he embezzled the money, they would blame it on Obeomsoo and cover it up by saying that the problematic employee resigned.

[Im Seunghyun, good job.]

[Do I need to do more?]

[You’ve shaken him enough.]

[Then I’ll just hold on to his weakness and end it.]

I can’t imagine how big Im Seunghyun’s ‘just enough’ is. Anyway, he corrected the mistake of being caught, and decided not to interfere anymore.

The writer of ‘Dreaming’, Jeong Dahee, was nominated for the script, but she failed to win against the senior writers. But she was happy to be nominated and smiled.

The screen changed and showed the short acting scenes of the five nominees.

(Starting the debugging.)

(Get out of here. Before I force you out.)

Dreaming, Yoo Yeon Seo

The scene of Chunbaek pointing a gun ended and Yoo Yeon Seo in a suit took one of the five split screens.

‘I won’t make it anyway.’

It wasn’t that he had no confidence, but the competition was tough. Last year was a year when a lot of good works came out.

The presenter opened the envelope and announced the winner. Yoo Yeon Seo didn’t get up.

“That’s too bad.”

“There will be another chance next time.”

Rather, Lee Yoonjung and Park Seunghwan next to him comforted him too much.

‘I’m fine, really.’

No, am I not fine? Yoo Yeon Seo frowned slightly at the feeling of frustration. He thought it was the emotion that the original owner felt.

(Baeksan Arts Awards, Best Actor in TV Drama...)

(Congratulations, Jinsuho.)

The Best Actor award was Jinsuho, of course. The actors nearby got up and congratulated him. Yoo Yeon Seo was among them.

“Congratulations.”

“Yeah.”

Jinsuho smiled and walked up to the stage. Yoo Yeon Seo thought of the past when he was nominated for Best New Actor as he watched his back.

‘I’m not fine.’

He was surprised to feel a bit bitter. Did I have a desire for an award?

‘Maybe I should aim for an award next time.’

He didn’t want to go home empty-handed anymore.

Yoo Yeon Seo clapped for Jinsuho, who finished his acceptance speech, and burned his ambition inside.
