Regression Life of a Retired S-Class Mercenary

Episode 14. What’s the medicine for jaundice?

Kangsu took a taxi back to the hotel.

Those in the lobby were gone.

‘Did everything go back?’

You won’t be able to recognize them if the outfit or atmosphere is different.

First of all, he threatened Albert, the manager of Monica’s show, so he had to wait a bit longer.

Woo-woo-woo-woo-

I got a call from Kim Bo-ran.

[Where are you?]

“This is the lobby.”

[My cell phone has been turned off since a while ago. What happened?]

It seemed like they called while they were solving the problem.

“Something happened.”

[Can you come to my room now?]

“All right.”

I got on the elevator and found her room.

Upon entering, Kim Bo-ran sighed.

“Because of that thing. I was thinking of talking to the representative.”

Kim Bo-ran also pondered for a long time.

Moreover, it is the advice of Kang-soo who saved Yoo So-hyun on the set.

There are many awkward corners to ignore.

“If that’s the case, you can rest assured.”

“yes? What do you mean? Can I be relieved?”

“When I checked in the lobby, the people I kept seeing had returned. I waited a little longer just in case, but he didn’t come back.”

“Then what if you come back?”

It’s not Korea, it’s America. When something bad happens, it can be more difficult to rectify.

Of course, precipitation was also a concern.

“I will pay more attention. For now, you have plans for tomorrow, so take a break.”

“Are you really okay?”

“In my experience, this is enough to be reassured.”

“What kind of experience?”

Kang-su’s experience is the only one she knows.

After finishing the conversation, Kangsu went back to his room.

.

.

Meanwhile, Monica Shaw has been told about the situation by Albert.

“So you said they all withdrew? uh!”

Poof- Puck!

The On the Rocks glass of whiskey was thrown from her hand.

The glass hit Albert’s flat forehead and fell to the floor.

Blood drips from the wound on his broken forehead.

“I came this far through a guy named Lep. That’s the work of a professional pro.”

“Because you’re a pro! We can use the pro too! I do not have money! What is missing!”

“I almost got shot a few hours ago.”

“Me, sniping?”

“They found me not long after I said my cell phone was stolen. I don’t even know his face or identity.”

Of course, considering the circumstances, the identity of the sniper is likely to be the one Lef was monitoring.

But it’s impossible to track with just that.

There was a high chance of being attacked first while chasing.

“Then why don’t you just scrape those scumbags’ faces out with an iron!”

Albert sighs naturally at Monica’s bad luck.

At least the way I tried to keep my mouth shut was in vain and it only hurt me.

“Fred! Where is Fred!”

Soon after, the door opened and a tall, bald-headed man entered.

“Did you call?”

“Fred has something to do.”

“Monica! Trying to work here is a bad choice!”

“shut up!”

Monica already had a lot of poison in her eyes. It was madness that he would go mad if he didn’t do anything.

“Tell me. Monica.”

“Take care of one thing. If you just clean it up, it’ll cost half a million dollars in total. how is it?”

“Ok. great.”

Fred was Monica’s bodyguard from the Foreign Legion.

Contrary to his cruel temper, he was the owner of clean skills.

“It’s nice that the answer is quick. Albert, please tell me.”

“Monica. This is dangerous!”

“Oh hey, Albert. Isn’t our Miss Monica asking for it? So we talk about it.”

Fred put his arm around Albat’s shoulder and took him away.

Next day.

After waking up early in the morning, Kang-soo checked the lobby and the surroundings of the hotel while going out for a run.

Fortunately, so far, no suspicious person has been seen.

“Whoa—it would be fortunate if you quietly retreated.”

However, when I watched yesterday, Monica’s temper was not as good as expected.

It never looked like it would give up easily.

Kangsu went back to his room, washed up, and finished preparing for the schedule.

As the promised time came, Kim Bo-ran and Yoo So-hyun came down surrounded by bodyguards.

Like yesterday, I got into the car and set off for the audition.

“Sohyeon, did you sleep well last night?”

“huh. What about your sister?”

“What am I…”

To be honest, Kim Bo-ran kept tossing and turning because of what happened yesterday.

“What happened?”

“no. nothing. How was the script practice? Do you think it will be okay?”

“It wasn’t bad.”

While the two were talking, Kang-soo checked the taillights from the back seat through the windows on both sides and back.

Fortunately, no suspicious vehicles were seen.

The car took about an hour to drive into the studio complex where the audition was scheduled. After parking and everyone getting off, a male staff member approached.

“How did you come?”

“I’m Yoo So-hyun from JIN Enter.”

The male staff checked Yoo So-hyun’s name on the list with the tablet PC he was holding.

“You can follow me.”

In response, Steve and bodyguards followed Yoo So-hyun’s side.

“Ah, only the manager can accompany you.”

“It can’t be.”

Steve wasn’t completely ignoring the situation Kang-su confirmed yesterday.

I had to be careful in any case because I didn’t know.

“It is a rule. All the other actors did the same. And there are enough security personnel in the studio complex, so you don’t have to worry.”

“but······.”

“Steve. I’m OK. Everyone did it, but I can’t make an exception. So please wait here.”

“···All right.”

Yoo So-hyun, along with Kim Bo-ran and Kang-su, followed the staff.

After passing through several alleys built as film sets, numerous actors and managers were sitting in designated seats.

There were also famous actors, so we exchanged gazes as if we were trying to keep each other in check, or a place of friendly conversation unfolded.

“Sohyun unnie!”

A woman from one side approached jumping up and down.

It was Hong Ah-jin, who flew all the way to Los Angeles for an audition like Yoo So-hyun.

“Ah Jin-ah! Were you here early?”

“I just came. Did you sleep well? Is it hard because of jet lag?”

“I can’t help it. Are you having a hard time too?”

It would have been nice if they had come earlier to get in shape, but both of them had busy schedules in Korea.

It was difficult to subtract a few days for a day audition, so I had to endure it myself.

“I have to sleep like crazy after the audition. ah! Hello unnie Boran too!”

“Hello very quickly.”

“hehehe, what’s wrong~ sister~”

Ah-jin Hong hugged Bo-ran Kim and rubbed her face and body like a puppy.

“Oops. Where is this aegyo?”

“Sister~”

“done. it’s okay. Anyway, only aegyo is lined up.”

“hehehehe. How’s your sister?”

“I am always the same. live not die live.”

“Ah, but is Sohyun unnie okay now? I heard a job at MBS too!”

I tried to keep quiet as much as possible, but rumors had no choice but to spread.

Because of that, the agency kept contacting reporters and Yoo So-hyun from people around her.

“I’m fine.”

“I’m so glad. But why did you come out?”

“I don’t know. I hear you’re still keeping your mouth shut.”

Reporters were in the process of spewing speculative articles because of it.

“It will end well.”

“I definitely will.”

Another angle – another angle –

At that time, a Latino woman came in from the alley they had entered with a sharp heel sound.

It was the Monica Show. Next to her was her manager, Albert.

“$%&$%&$$%&.”

Monica looked around and muttered something before sitting in the farthest corner.

It was the most distant location from other people.

“Monica Shaw, in your assigned seat—”

“Please change seats.”

The staff was speechless at the overbearing request.

“…Ok.”

After the staff left, the tumultuous atmosphere became quiet.

Monica Shaw’s personality was well known to everyone. I didn’t know if I would be upset before I auditioned for nothing.

Everyone quietly muttered the script and immersed themselves in practicing.

“Sit down with dirty things? I can’t just kill them all…”

Those were the words Monica had just muttered.

It wasn’t loud, but people around me couldn’t help but hear it.

River water was the same.

In the meantime, the eyes of the actors waiting for the audition turned from Monica to Yoo So-hyun and Hong Ah-jin.

This is because the two of them were the best match for the main role in this drama directed by Hawk O’Brien.

Anyone who has read the script has no choice but to admit it.

But, except for one person.

“No. 21, 22. Just follow me.”

Your number was called while waiting.

The audition was in progress from the morning, two by one. The number was divided according to the number and the time to participate in the audition was set.

Hong Ah-jin and Yoo So-hyun woke up together.

“Is your sister number 22?”

“Yeah, Ah Jin is number 21? Oh, it shouldn’t be like this.”

“Why are you with Sohyun unnie! I’ll lose again! Hee-!”

“Then Boran-sister, I’ll be back.”

“Have a safe trip. Ah, Mr. Kangsu.”

While the two followed the staff, Kim Bo-ran checked other schedules and found Kang-soo.

“huh? Mr. Kangsu? Where have you been?”

Until just now, Kangsu, who was clearly next to him, was nowhere to be seen.

Thinking that he must have gone to the bathroom, he focused on his tablet PC.

.

.

.

Yoo So-hyun and Hong Ah-jin, who followed the staff, did not let go of the audition script in their hands even while walking.

Since I came to the US, it was to do my best.

But as we continued walking, the staff’s feet stopped.

“Why are you like that?”

The surrounding area was a dead-end road consisting of a set.

“I’m so sorry.”

After saying that, the staff pushed through the door at the corner of the alley.

Surprised, Yoo So-hyun immediately followed and moved the door, but did not budge.

Tuck – Tuck –

“Hey! What are we going to do!”

“What the hell is going on?”

Hong Ah-jin was also dumbfounded.

As a result, the two tried to return the way they came, but had no choice but to stop.

It was because masked people I saw for the first time sneaked out of the surrounding alleys.

The number of masked people is four.

The two women cannot help but feel fear.

Then Yoo So-hyun sent Hong Ah-jin back as if to wrap it up and shouted.

“what! Don’t come any closer! If you come close, I will scream!”

“Keukkeu, the throat is quite good. The face is also my style, but it’s a pity to let it go quickly.”

It was spoken in English, but I could understand it well enough.

Yoo So-hyun’s face turns pale at such a smirk.

But there was nowhere to run to.
