chapter 51
camping and friends (2)
“Yeah, Soo-yeon, what’s going on? Did you eat lunch?”
Yeon-woo answers the phone as naturally as possible so that the other person does not feel awkward.
However, there was no answer from Soo-yeon, and silence passed for a few seconds.
***
Jung Soo-yeon is sitting on a chair in the subway platform.
Shortly after hearing the ring-back tone, Ryu Yeon-woo answered the call.
– Yeah, Suyeon-ah, what’s going on? Did you eat lunch?
A warm voice over the receiver.
Even when walking out of the office building, Jung Soo-yeon’s strangely dull heart was broken by the voice of ‘Friend’.
For some reason, when he heard the warm voice of his friend, he cried as if he would burst out.
He took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
“…Yeonwoo, are you filming?”
– What are you doing? where are you?
Jung Soo-yeon is speechless at Yeon-woo’s reply right away.
“No, I was just calling.”
– wait a minute.
***
Yeon-woo sensed that he was crying at Soo-yeon’s subtly shaking voice.
In such a situation, the sudden phone call to yourself, not your family, means that you are worried that you cannot handle it alone.
“wait a minute.”
Yeon-woo mutes the call and briefly explains the situation to Ma Seok-do.
“Yeah? I like a lot of people. I brought a lot of meat today.”
I nodded my head to thank Seok-do and picked up my phone again.
“Sooyeon, where are you?”
– ··· Yeongdeungpo Station.
“Do you have any schedule for today?”
Yeon-woo told Su-yeon to wait there for a while, hung up the phone and walked to the corner of the campsite.
“Yes. Minsu-hyung. I’m really sorry, but I have a personal request.”
– Basically, that’s the manager’s job. what?
Minsu, who was working at the office building of LN Entertainment, wanted to leave, and his hips shook.
Yeonwoo explains the approximate circumstances.
– It is right in front of Yeongdeungpo Station. Okay. Please give me the address of the campsite.
Min-soo, who left immediately, came to Incheon with Su-yeon, who was standing crookedly at Yeongdeungpo Station.
Ma Seok-do and Ryu Yeon-woo, who arrived in less than an hour, met Min-soo’s car at the parking lot.
“Actor Ma. How are you?”
“Oh, Minsu. Should I go back to work? Come and eat some meat and go. I’ve packed a lot.”
Seokdo, who really likes a lot of people, seems to really like it when the number of people in the open campground increases.
“Oh, then I’ll call the company and go away. Isn’t it the manager’s job to take care of the actors? Hahaha.”
Min-soo, who does not want to return to work, and Seok-do, who likes to be crowded, get along with each other.
“Are you here? Suyeon-ah.”
“Yeah. Hehe.”
Jung Soo-yeon, who came here in Min-soo’s car, organized a lot of thoughts and relieved her emotions to some extent.
I laughed like a fool because I was embarrassed that I cried for some reason.
Jung Soo-yeon greeted Ma Seok-do.
“Senior, hello. This is Jung Soo-yeon, who played a child role while filming ‘Sunshine’.”
“Huh? Really? Hey, are you that kid back then? You’ve grown a lot.”
Ma Seok-do shakes hands with Jung Soo-yeon.
Jung Soo-yeon tells the story of Seok-do buying ice cream every day at the local supermarket while filming in the countryside when she was young.
It was a work that failed at the box office, but it was filmed after a lot of hard work all summer while playing the role of a detective who came to a rural village.
Jung Soo-yeon gets out of the city and comes to the campsite, and seeing the familiar faces makes it feel like all the dirty things that happened in the morning have been washed away.
“Come on, let’s go first. We haven’t even pitched a tent yet, but we’ll have to fix it right away.”
The four of us went into the camping place while talking about the chaos.
“Hey, where did you practice only pitching a tent?”
“Hahaha. Just.”
Seok-do and Min-soo’s mouths were wide open as they completed the tent at a great speed.
It’s Yeonwoo who used to make extra-large military cold protection tents, but this kind of camping tent is a breeze.
“I’m a camper, too, and I can’t sit still.”
Mana Stone rolled up his arms and started lighting the brazier.
“Is there anything I can do to help you, Master Ma?”
“Ah, Yeonwoo and I will get rid of it today, so Suyeon and Minsu, rest in peace.”
However, the two of them stayed still, so they took out meat and other food ingredients from the icebox and organized them.
Yeon-woo makes two tents and approaches.
Seeing Yeon-woo like that, Su-yeon felt a little better, said Su-yeon.
“It’s my first time doing something like this. It’s exciting.”
“What. Camping?”
Suyeon nodded her head.
“It’s like camping, it’s just improvisation. And it’s all about hanging out with friends.”
“I can play a lot in the future. That’s college life.”
Yeon-woo smiles as she looks at Su-yeon.
“If I have a chance later with my friends, let’s go play anywhere in the countryside.”
“Yeah. Okay.”
Yeon-woo thinks it will be fun if Junsu, Sung-sik, and Hong Yu-ri go together.
“Oh, I didn’t buy soju.”
Minsu stands up at Maseokdo’s words.
Yeon-woo smiles at Min-su like that.
“Minsu hyung, please rest. I will buy it from the supermarket in front of you with Suyeon.”
“Oh, now that you two are adults, you can drink alcohol, right?”
“Haha. That’s right. In this case, you have to use your ID.”
After hearing Yeonwoo’s words, Seokdo pointed his finger in the direction and said.
“Yeonwoo, there’s a supermarket just 200 meters away from the campsite, right?”
“Yeah, I don’t drink much, so can I buy you a bottle or three?”
Even the magic stone nodded saying that it was good enough.
Yeon-woo gestured to Soo-yeon and walked to the entrance of the campsite.
When we left the campsite, it was already getting dark and the streetlights started to come on.
I walked for a long time without saying a word.
Suyeon opens her mouth first.
“I went to work today.”
Yeonwoo listens without a word.
Soo-yeon talks about what happened today as if she were talking to someone else.
Yeon-woo was both angry and sad as he listened to the story silently.
‘A young friend who has just turned twenty…, no. That’s not what I’m talking about.’
The behavior of the immoral entertainment industry is not unknown.
And while working as an agent, Yeon-woo has seen countless times how ugly humans can become.
Dangerous areas, slums and cities occupied by anti-government groups.
Even after seeing countless hells, the reason why I am angry at the obvious story is probably because, unlike the dull past, there was a thing called affection in my heart and the concept of a friend.
The only thing I can do right now is to curse with you, so Yeon-woo asks a question while joking around.
“Is the story of wanting to become an announcer still valid?”
“Um, I think so.”
Jung Soo-yeon has been acting for a long time since she was a child, but she said that she didn’t have much enthusiasm because she started with her mother’s skirt wind.
However, Suyeon, who likes to stand in front of the camera and is usually interested in current affairs, is an actress, but she has longed for an announcer.
As I walked, I found a supermarket right in front of me.
Suddenly Jung Soo-yeon stopped.
“Yes why?”
Yeon-woo asks Soo-yeon while looking at her.
“Yeonwoo, look at that.”
Soo-yeon pointed across the street, and looking to the side, she saw Yeon-woo’s face.
Yeonwoo’s body panels and posters on the glass wall placed inside the ST Telecom dealership.
“Oh, that’s right. It’s me.”
Soo-yeon read the words engraved on the poster.
“It’s fine as long as you don’t stop even if you change direction.”
Soo-yeon looks at Yeon-woo again.
“…so do I?”
Yeon-woo looked at Su-yeon and smiled.
“Sure.”
On the way home after buying three bottles of soju at the supermarket run by my grandmother.
“Why don’t you check our ID. You look old.”
“That’s right. Haha.”
Suyeon’s steps back to the campground became lighter.
Yeon-woo, who arrived at the entrance, handed the envelope to Su-yeon and said:
“I have a place to call for a while, so I’m going first.”
As Soo-yeon moved away, Yeon-woo took out her smartphone.
Tour-.
The phone rings and connects shortly thereafter.
– Yeonwoo. What’s going on?
The voice of CEO Kim Joo-seong is heard through the receiver.
“CEO. I didn’t know you would contact me so quickly, but I called just in case.”
Yeon-woo briefly explains to CEO Joo-seong Kim about what Su-yeon Sue went through today.
– If it’s Jung Soo-yeon, it’s the friend of ‘Spring Lover’. Hmm, Plus 10 is headed by Byun Hak-gyu…
CEO Joo-Sung Kim smiled.
– He’s grown a lot, a human he couldn’t even see from the bottom. Anyway, I was going to put it down for some other reason, but I can push the schedule a little bit.
CEO Kim Joo-seong said that he would terminate Jung Soo-yeon’s remaining contract on his own, and he respected the opinion that he wants to become an announcer, so he said he would recommend an actor contract later.
“Thank you very much for your help. President.”
– no. I really hate people like that from the bottom of my heart.
Yeon-woo, who repeatedly thanked him, ended the call and entered the campground.
Meanwhile, CEO Kim Joo-seong, who received a call from Yeon-woo in the representative office of LN Entertainment.
Joo-sung opens the drawer of the representative’s desk and looks at him for a long time.
Photo of a woman in a desk drawer.
Soon after, he closed the drawer again with a sad and painful face.
CEO Kim Joo-seong is a leader in the entertainment industry, starting with a manager and building an entertainment company.
It’s a story no one knows now, but he fell in love with the actress he was in charge of during his managerial days.
However, the actress was constantly threatened with hospitality and sponsorship that she forced herself to do when she was a rookie.
After that, Kim Joo-seong struggled to create a transparent and clean company on his own, and he continued to grow and established LN Entertainment.
CEO Kim Joo-seong, who had closed his eyes for a long time and suppressed his emotions, quickly opened his eyes wildly.
“A bastard that’s not even the size of a bug… you should definitely step on it.”

“Oh, come on. Now we’re going live.”
Maseokdo is grilling meat in advance because the fire is on while Ryu Yeon-woo and Jung Soo-yeon are on an errand.
Considering Suyeon and Minsu, the tripod was adjusted and put down so that only Seokdo and Yeonwoo were visible on the screen.
Sitting across from Seokdo, Yeonwoo looked at the grill.
“Wow. Seokdo-hyung. It must be so delicious.”
“I have a knack for grilling meat. Haha.”
Maseokdo put down the meat tongs and operated the smartphone on the tripod.
