Chapter 118 < Theres Another Accomplice >

Whos that? Hes handsome.

Wheres he going? To the directors office?

A man in a suit with an extraordinary presence knocked on the directors office door. The trainees eyes followed Lim Seung-hyuns back. A weak voice from inside told him to come in.

Are you the one who called me?

Yes.

Uh just clear a spot and sit down. Were a small company do you want some coffee?

No, Im fine.

Lim Seung-hyun cleared a seat and sat down, then handed over his business card. It wasnt a business card from Jusung Entertainment, but a plain white one with only a simple contact number.

So, what did you want to ask me that you came all the way here?

The man across from him fiddled with his beard. He seemed to live here, as there was a makeshift bed in the corner.

Lim Seung-hyun asked him the question that his boss wanted to know.

Twinkle what a nostalgic name

The man was briefly lost in his memories, then cleared his throat under Lim Seung-hyuns scary gaze.

Its been almost 20 years, so I dont remember much.

Any clue would be helpful. Or any memorable incident.

Hmm

The man rocked his chair back and forth, deep in thought. Then he suddenly stopped and looked at Lim Seung-hyun.

Oh, there was one guy who was insanely crazy.

A stalker?

Yes, theyre finally making a law to punish stalkers, but back then, there was nothing like that, and entertainers were expected to endure it, and anyway, the stalker was no joke.

Lim Seung-hyun didnt interrupt the mans rambling and quietly watched him.

All kinds of people were twisted. They somehow found out where the kids lived and tried to break in through the security bars, or they waited outside the dorm and ran after them when they got out of the car.

Thats serious.

Yes, and there was one guy who was the worst of them.

The man scrunched up his face, trying to remember.

That Hee-seo, he said he was dating her and told the company not to make my wife work, and he sent a marriage certificate written in his own blood and stuff like that.

Huh

At first, I thought he was just a typical delusional patient. He only terrorized the company. But then

Lim Seung-hyun loosened his crossed arms and focused on the mans words.

I think it was when they did Under the Persimmon Tree. He got in as an extra actor and approached Hee-seo.

What did he do?

He seemed to want to harass her, but if it wasnt for the manager at the time, it would have been a big mess.

It was a close call. That was lucky.

A delusional patient who believed he was married to Hee-seo. Lim Seung-hyun guessed that this was the person Yoo Yeon Seo suspected. He wasnt sure yet, though

Did you report him to the police?

We tried to, but I think the PD smoothed it over, saying it would interfere with the filming.

Thats too bad.

Actually, even if we reported him, the awareness of stalkers back then they probably just gave him a warning.

Then he must have gone crazy when he heard about the deceaseds marriage.

Oh, dont even mention it.

The man waved his hand and sighed, as if he didnt want to recall it. As soon as Hee-seo and Yoo Geon-mins marriage news came out, the stalker went to the company and Twinkles dorm and caused a ruckus. He even shed blood in the process.

After they got married, Yoo Geon-min secretly took care of the stalker and the industry people who harassed Hee-seo, or so they said, but who knows.

Do you know his name, by any chance?

I dont know but he was a pretty important extra, so maybe you can find him in the credits?

Thank you. Do you remember anything else?

***

Thank you, you did well.

Oh, I was going to tell you that after the reading

It turned out that the two main characters had met when they were young, and Seong Hyun-woo, the male lead, did not forget and devoted himself to Lee Seo-eun.

The key point of the drama, Ill make you the emperor. You dont have to know. also came from here. But Lee Seo-eun had lost her memory and didnt remember Seong Hyun-woo.

She lost her memory? Huh, how exquisite.

Anyway, it was an attractive character. He thought he would get a lot of attention when the drama aired. But

How do I immerse myself 100%?

It was also a limit to empathize with Shin Ye-won as a child actor, as he did in the photo shoot. He needed to study how to make the viewers flutter.

***

After finishing the reading of Guk-sae, Yoo Yeon Seo returned home and opened his eyes wide as he saw the empty house.

No ones here?

He got a message from Yoo Eun-ho.

(Bro) Im late.

That meant he finally had some free time. Yoo Yeon Seo smiled.

My body is getting better, should I start again?

He was worried about the shooting the day after tomorrow, but he was used to the pain by now. He had to endure and try.

Beta, lets start,

<You can continue the memory you synced before with the effect of Memory Replay perk.>

Okay.

That was good for him. He had a headache from deducing the situation from the scattered memories. It would be a burden on his body, but.

I hope theres something to harvest this time.

<Lets begin.>

After a brief blackout, he opened his eyes to find himself in a film set.

Cut! Yeon Seo, hold on a second

The director called him with a sigh in his voice.

Your voice is too stiff. Can you please soften it a bit?

How do you expect me to act well when I see that?

Yeon Seo frowned as he felt a surge of resentment. It was a silent protest against having to act well while seeing that shape hovering above the other actor.

Ill do my best.

Sigh

The director shook his head at his objection. And then the shooting resumed. Yeon Seo elicited many sighs from the staff with his poor acting, similar to before.

So thats why he cant act.

As he watched his memory, Yeon Seo began to understand his original self. He should be grateful that he could say his lines normally while seeing that shape.

Oh, I hope that thing doesnt bother me when Im doing it. He thought carelessly in between the blackouts of his memory.

And when he opened his eyes again, he saw the childhood memory he had longed for.

Thats strange.

Everyone is treating me cautiously, but that man is different.

The young Yeon Seo thought as he headed back to where his family was gathered. It was right after he had encountered a suspicious person.

Yeon Seok, where did you go?

Its boring to be with grandpa.

Yeon Seo ran away again after hearing his grandfathers nagging. He went to the annex where Heeseo was.

The memory didnt continue, but he probably found Heeseos corpse.

When he returned to reality, Yeon Seo scowled.

Thats too short.

The young Yeon Seo met a suspicious person and got scolded by his grandfather. And then he went to where Heeseo was in a matter of minutes.

No matter how light Heeseo was, he couldnt hang an adult woman without a trace in such a short time. Not by himself. Then

Theres more than one accomplice.

At least two. Or maybe more. Why did I think there was only one? The security of the mansion was so strict.

Yeon Seo ran his fingers through his hair nervously and bowed his head over the sink.

This is a headache.
