Episode 114

“What? Why did you come all of a sudden without any notice? You don’t even have a schedule.”

“I told you to call me. That’s why you didn’t pick up. Why on earth do you keep your phone turned off? Don’t you have a charger at home?”

“That’s because you and the company keep contacting each other all the time. Don’t you know I’m on break right now? Shouldn’t you just let me rest when I’m resting?”

Jin Myeong-gil blurts out his words without even opening the door, as if he is displeased with the sudden visit.

He waved his hand as if to tell me to just leave if I had no business and grabbed the doorknob again.

“If you didn’t come here because something came up, just go. I couldn’t sleep all night, so I need to get some sleep now.”

Oh Sang-seok hurriedly reached out his hand toward Jin Myeong-gil, who was about to slam the door, and pointed behind him.

“Oh, wait a minute, brother. I’m not alone. I have guests with me.”

“Customer? Oh, me. I’m sure it’s the director or the CEO. Why, are you here because you thought I might die?”

Jin Myeong-gil opens the door he was about to close again and checks the person behind Oh Sang-seok.

However, when a completely unexpected person appeared, he looked at Oh Sang-seok with a startled look.

“who……?”

“Oh, you don’t recognize me because it’s your first time seeing me in person? You know Manager Jeong Hee-seong, right? Why, there was someone you were impressed with at the press conference last time. You were like, “Do you think there are people like that in this day and age?”

“Mr. Jeong Hee-seong… … ?”

It didn’t take him long to remember who it was, and he soon changed his gaze and turned to Heeseong.

“But what brings you here? This is our first meeting, right?”

Heeseong nodded with a small smile.

“Yes, that’s right. Nice to meet you, Actor Jin. My name is Jeong Hee-seong.”

“Oh, yes.”

“Are you really surprised by my sudden visit?”

“Ahem, well. I was a bit surprised. Someone I never expected to see suddenly came to my house. I’ve heard a lot about him too. He’s always on TV and in the news.”

As the somewhat awkward atmosphere began to form, Manager Oh Sang-seok came forward and spoke.

“Guests have arrived, and you’re going to keep leaving them in front of the door like this? Let’s have a drink and chat, brother!”

“This kid. Is this your house? If you bring someone here, you should at least tell them. The house is a mess.”

“Hey, I told you I called dozens of times but didn’t get a call back. It’s an important and urgent matter, so I couldn’t just wait around, so I brought you here. The CEO told me to do the same.”

Since it was impolite to keep a guest who had come all the way to your house outside, Jin Myeong-gil reluctantly gave way to the entrance.

Then he spoke quietly to Heeseong.

“Please come in. Please understand that the house is in a state of disrepair.”

“Then I will excuse myself and go in for a moment.”

When I entered the living room and saw Jin Myeong-gil’s house, it was truly a sight to behold.

The manager, who had visited frequently, also looked quite shocked and looked around the house with his mouth open.

“No, what is all this, Brother… …? Why is the house like this… … . Didn’t you clean it at all?”

“I told you, it’s a mess. So why did you come here without telling me?”

“What about the aunt who works there? Didn’t she come by twice a week?”

“He quit. He suddenly said something came up and he couldn’t do it. I was out of my mind for a while too.”

“No, what on earth could you be so busy doing when you’re just resting at home… …. Why did you make such a mess? Why are the curtains like that?”

Everything was a mess, but the curtains on the living room window that Oh Sang-seok was pointing at were especially shocking.

It was to the extent that it was more like intentionally dirtying something rather than just spilling or spilling something.

“Sniff sniff. Oh my, the smell, the smell… … Brother, what really happened to you? No matter how busy you are, you always do basic things to keep things tidy, so what the heck is this?”

I don’t know how he usually lives, but this was clearly not normal.

Even the most unkempt person wouldn’t leave their house in such a mess.

‘It looks like there’s definitely something going on. They say it’s a shocking incident that could turn the entertainment industry upside down.’

The reporter said so in the interview.

If he hadn’t gone to find Jinmyeonggil at that time, a terrible situation would have unfolded.

No one would have thought that one of South Korea’s top actors would experience such a shocking incident.

Maybe that time is right now.

“Please sit here for now. The sofa is clean, though.”

Jin Myeong-gil pushed away the cushions on the sofa and invited Hee-seong to sit down.

Meanwhile, the manager took three bottles of drinks out of the refrigerator.

“What on earth do you eat, brother? There’s nothing to eat in the fridge. There’s only drink. Have you decided on your next project yet?”

The question was whether the role in the next work required a sharp appearance.

In such cases, I definitely go on a diet to feel more immersed.

Jin Myeong-gil sighed, leaning back on the sofa with a face full of fatigue.

“What about the next project? Okay, let’s get to the point. I haven’t slept all night so I don’t have the energy to talk properly right now. What’s going on?”

“Oh, that’s it. Actually, I came here because of the next project, hyung. I know you’re on hiatus right now, but the CEO said that we need to make a decision quickly… … .”

Jin Myeong-gil’s gaze shifted to Hee-seong as he looked at Oh Sang-seok, who was discussing his next project while observing his mood.

“The next project is a problem, but why is the manager here? You have your own business, and the manager is here for another matter?”

“No, that’s not it. The manager here is in charge of producing the next work. The script is by writer Lee Hae-sook.”

Hee-sung immediately corrected himself when he felt his words had become a bit strange while trying to explain in summary.

“The production is not mine, but Onewol Production Company’s. I’m here to help out with some work-related matters, so I came to see you for casting.”

I thought it would be better to continue while we were on the subject, so I moved my lips away again.

“As the manager mentioned earlier, writer Lee Hae-sook’s new work has been released. The title is still tentative, but it is called . She wants actor Jin Myung-gil for the male lead role. She said that she didn’t think of anyone else besides the actor during the script writing process. She said that only Jin could play this role.”

With those words, Heesung handed over the script he had prepared.

“The script that has been released so far is 8 episodes long. The broadcaster has not been decided yet, but I think it will probably be JNBC. And no matter which broadcaster it is, it will definitely be produced in a pre-production format.”

Manager Oh Sang-seok took care of cleaning up the large pieces of trash that were visible.

“The reason my brother doesn’t want to do dramas is because once he does, he becomes almost half a corpse. He says that he has a lot of lines and if he doesn’t sleep for 4 months, his body and mind will be ruined. But since it’s pre-production, I think he’ll have to do a lot less of that, right?”

The advantages of pre-production are self-explanatory.

The fact that actors who only appeared in movies are returning to dramas recently is largely due to the increase in the number of pre-produced works.

Since the production cost is guaranteed, sufficient production time can be secured, and the level of completion and physical strength are bound to be very high.

That’s why all actors want pre-production.

“Fortunately, I heard that there is no next project decided yet. Of course, there will be a huge amount of scenarios coming in, and there will be many good ones among them, but I hope you will positively consider . The writer said that if the actor says no, he will not accept the arrangement.”

Jin Myeong-gil tilts his head at those words and asks again.

“You said that? There’s no real connection between me and that person. Why did you think so highly of me…?”

“Why, my dear. It must be because the role you have in mind and your image fit perfectly. Your brother also said that when he saw your work. How can you write lines like that? What kind of life must you have lived to be able to write a story like that? You said you wanted to have a drink sometime.”

Jin Myeong-gil doesn’t deny that there was a time like that.

A little while ago, Hee-sung picked up the script that was handed to him, but he didn’t turn it over and showed a look of deep thought.

“Hmm… … .”

“Why, bro? Is there something bothering you? First, read the script and think about it.”

“That’s not it… … . Oh, no.”

Jin Myeong-gil put down the script he had picked up and looked at Hee-seong.

“I’m sorry, but this project seems difficult. I will contact the author directly and politely explain it to you. Before you leave, please leave me your contact information.”

He hasn’t even decided on his next project, and he refuses without even looking at the script.

Even if the writer who proposed the work is not you, you won’t even be accepted into the lineup.

Heesung asked in a low voice, as it seemed clear that there was an external problem.

“Could you please tell me the reason? If it’s a problem with the schedule or conditions, I can adjust it as much as possible.”

“No, that’s not the problem. It’s just that I’m not in a position to focus on my work right now.”

“What if the conditions are right?”

“Whew, that’s a bit odd to say… … .”

Heeseong turned his gaze and looked at Oh Sangseok.

It was to ask if you knew anything.

Oh Sang-seok also opened his mouth cautiously as if he didn’t understand English.

“Brother, what’s really going on? The state of your house is like this, and I haven’t been able to contact you recently. Your face looks really haggard right now. Is something stressing you out?”

Come to think of it, he said he couldn’t sleep at all all night.

From dark circles to puffy eyes, it didn’t seem like it was just yesterday.

Jin Myeong-gil leans against the sofa, closes his eyes tightly, and remains silent for a while.

I even had the thought that maybe he was asleep.

But, at that time.

He suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the ceiling when he suddenly started telling me a shocking story.

“Actually, I feel like I’m possessed by a ghost right now. It’s been almost a month already.”
