Episode 110

* * *

S Broadcasting Station’s editing room.

“Senior. If we do this, it seems like people will say it’s manipulation again. Phew─ Take a look.”

“hmm…….”

The edited video was played on the screen.

Ko Dong-seok let out a sigh as he watched it.

As the junior PD said, it was a video that had to look like that.

Because there was no scene of him actually being rescued, and it suddenly connected to the scene of him being held in the arms of a rescue worker.

This is what happened when I deleted the cafe owner named Cheon Yu-jin.

‘I boasted that it would be okay, but… … .’

It wasn’t all that good.

It wasn’t like I had only been on this floor for a day or two, and I could already hear people chattering.

It felt like the comments that I had to look at to check the broadcast reaction were flashing before my eyes.

A situation where possessed editing actually becomes toxic.

but…….

‘We did the right thing. We just have to stand up for ourselves.’

The joy I felt from what I achieved this time was greater than the criticism from people who didn’t know the inside story.

So, it was okay to be a little suspicious and misunderstood.

and…….

“It’s okay. I’ve already made the plan. And it’s been approved from above, right?”

“The director would say it’s good. We’ll be the ones getting all the blame. So, what’s the method?”

“Yes. Just wait and you’ll know.”

At his junior’s words, Ko Dong-seok chuckled and patted his shoulder.

He was a junior who insisted on staying under him even though he grumbled and talked.

Even though I did a good job, I always feel like I’m being manipulated, so I feel exhausted…

So I was grateful and reassured. So this time it will be a little different.

“Ahh~ I can’t help it. I’ll let it go. I just hope it’s a little less intense this time.”

The junior smiled faintly as if he knew Ko Dong-seok’s feelings and finished.

And the long-awaited broadcast day.

Everyone gathered in the editing room and watched the broadcast. At the same time, a video response was displayed on the side.

─An unidentified wild animal discovered one day when heavy rain was falling?

─What does this look like?

─Well. A raccoon?

─Is that thing sticking out a chicken?

─What are you talking about~ It’s your foot. It looks exactly like a deer fawn!

Interviews with people around the area were shown along with narration, and then the production team was shown running around looking for places where something unidentified might be.

“Whoever edited it, it looks neat.”

I hear a sound like someone blurting it out.

But no one responded to those words. No, no one could.

Because I was busy looking at the video and the reactions of the viewers who watched it.

However, the expressions on the faces of the editors watching the reaction were not bright. As expected, talk of manipulation had already begun.

A sigh began to escape everyone’s lips.

In that way, the video suddenly changed to a rescue scene, and from the scene where the PD and the rescue team urgently entered the sewer, it was completely covered in words saying that it was manipulated.

Things like, “If you know that, why are you only going in now?” and “You’re sacrificing animals to make a mess of something that’s already been made.”

I expected it, but it felt particularly bad today.

Well, it can’t be helped but for viewers who don’t know that the part where Cheon Yu-jin appears is being deleted.

The broadcast ended with the scene of the dog being taken to an animal hospital for treatment after being rescued, but people’s outcry did not stop and only grew stronger.

What’s funny is that the higher-ups who approved this must have seen the reaction and left a message saying that they also won’t be able to give in easily this time.

At that time, everyone had a look of exhaustion on their face.

“Huh? What are you doing?”

“It’s not over yet.”

The broadcast is over but it’s not over yet?

Everyone looked at Ko Dong-seok with a puzzled expression. But regardless, Ko Dong-seok continued watching a video that had just been uploaded to YouTube.

“This is enough.”

It contained everything that could not be delivered separately because it had not been approved by the higher-ups.

In a way, it is the sincerity that Ko Dong-seok and his team wanted to convey.

“PD, this… … .”

“oh my god.”

* * *

The video shot and edited by Lee Seon-ah had two effects.

One of the effects of receiving Su-Ah’s thumbs up!

and…….

─Wow, the production team really worked hard.

─What’s the operation? If I hear things like it’s so hard, I really don’t feel like doing it.

─If it were me, I would have hit you a long time ago.

─Thank you all for your hard work, and I hope you all live well.

─Let’s not litter, really.

─If you’re going to abandon a dog, don’t raise it.

Because it was a content with a kind of making-of video concept, people were able to see how hard the TV Animal Kingdom production team worked and how sincere they were behind the screen.

The raw images of the production crew had a strong impact.

When I first saw the production team, I thought, “This isn’t normal.”

So much so that I was wondering what drink to get.

Even if it was conveyed through a video filter, it conveyed an overwhelming amount of information.

Of course, even in the midst of all that, there were still people who didn’t believe and just said what they wanted to say.

There was no way around it.

How do you convince someone who doesn’t believe you?

“It turns out like this.”

Nevertheless, the majority praised the hard-working production team.

Even a small word of comfort or a comment of support.

I feel a little better now that I can reveal their true selves in this way.

Although the aura of Ko Dong-seok and the production team has improved, if they make a mistake, it could have gotten worse again in the eyes of the people… … .

“Well done.”

“Hehehe! Did you do well? But your face doesn’t appear in my sister’s video either.”

“Huh? Oh, it’s okay.”

I said I did well for Lee Sun-ah, but I also said I did well for Su-ah.

It was Su-ah who took us to where the production team was and naturally permeated us there.

And it was actually nice that my face wasn’t shown.

My voice and body appeared here and there in the video, but you wouldn’t know it was me anyway.

‘There’s nothing wrong with it as long as no annoying things happen.’

Neither TV Animal Kingdom nor Lee Sun-ah’s videos have specific regions.

At best, it’s like a deep mountain valley somewhere?

Perhaps it is an old know-how of professionals to prevent the aftermath of local issues or stories from outsiders, and to focus on the story itself rather than miscellaneous surroundings.

That helped me a lot here.

Seon-ah, what… …I’ve always kept my neighborhood a secret for the sake of self-care.

anyway.

“Hehe. Well then, I guess I should go now.”

“I’ll go first because I have to practice.”

The village chief left first, saying he was busy. He had a lot of work to do in the fields, so it took a lot of time.

Even though it was the weekend, Suho had practice.

The rest is… … .

“What a pity~ I wish I had known.”

“Did you contact your sister too?”

“I couldn’t help it because I collapsed as soon as I got home that day.”

Hansong felt a little disappointed.

Because I had a hard day’s work, I couldn’t come.

When you think about it, it seems like Jang-nim’s training for Lee Seon-ah is more effective than expected.

Even though we worked together in the fields, Lee Seon-ah was fine.

“Oh, right! And by the way, you’re not giving me that basil pesto?”

“Oh, that? Should I give it to you?”

“yes!”

“Let me help you with the math, sir.”

“oh!”

I chuckled at Hansong’s surprised reaction to my joke and took out the bottle of basil pesto.

I made some more this time because I thought it tasted good.

The problem is that since the amount of effort put in is similar, more is created than expected.

Since the storage period is not long anyway, it is better than throwing it away because you can’t eat it all.

“thank you!”

“What? Neighbors.”

Lee Sun-ah and Su-ah looked at me with strange eyes from the side.

“That was so meaningful just now. Like a villain hiding his true intentions.”

“It’s a conspiracy cliche.”

What do these people think of me… … Of course, they’re not wrong.

“Oh, is there anything you want to ask me?”

There’s nothing I can do. Since I’ve been caught, I’ve decided to tell you right away.

That’s right.

“Oh, that’s… … I was planning on making a business card and coupon this time.”

“Aha! So you need a logo?”

“Yes, but this is not easy.”

It was work related to the production of business cards and coupons that I mentioned before.

Because in the end it ended up being a half-assed ending.

So, since it has come to this, I wanted to get help from an expert.

Then, Hansong placed her hand on her chin for a moment and thought about it.

“Um… … When it comes to logos, my friend is better at it than I am.”

“Friend?”

“Yes! That guy who brought me here before. He graduated from the Visual Design Department.”

Now that I think about it, the first time Hansong came was with a friend. I think she was the first customer besides Suah and Suho.

It was the first time I saw a text window in the garden and the first time I saw an aura from a guest.

Come to think of it, I think Hansong said something similar when she moved here.

I’m going to be working with a friend, so I might come often.

“Should I ask my friend?”

“I would appreciate it if you could do that. Oh, and of course I’ll pay for it.”

“Hey, it’s okay. We’re neighbors.”

Hansong waved her hand, repeating back what I had said.

Then, Su-ah and Lee Seon-ah burst out laughing.

We get along really well, I like it.

“Then… … huh?”

Sarah~

I was thinking about slowly tidying up the place, but suddenly an aura blew. It was so sudden that I couldn’t even tell where the aura was coming from.

‘Suddenly? Why?’

It wasn’t the aura of the group in the cafe. If it had been, I would have known right away.

then?

Flutter~ Flutter~

The aura that blew into the cafe passed by in an instant like a summer breeze.

A very brief moment.

But at that moment, I could feel where this aura was coming from.

‘Production crew!’

At that time, while rescuing the group, a clear aura was emitted. It felt like an aura shower received in a rice field.

So I thought that was the end of what these guests were giving me… … .

But I guess that wasn’t it.

Sarararang~

The aura of each person passed by.

And lastly.

‘PD Ko Dong-seok.’

His aura also flew in. It was much brighter and clearer than the others.

It flew around the cafe and seeped into me too.

>Go Dong-seok’s beliefs

“huh?”

I thought that talents related to editing and such would naturally be absorbed, but that wasn’t the case.

But, as for belief… … I think I know what it is.

Because that person clearly had good intentions and beliefs.

In any case, it was more important to think about how to use the talent I had acquired rather than why I had it.

‘You have the talent of sacrifice and fire power?’

If so, then it was probably a talent that could infuse some effect by consuming aura.

The effect of sacrifice is already being used quite a bit here and there, so it’s like getting something useful.

“Why? Is there a problem?”

“Huh? Oh, no.”

I didn’t even realize there was someone in front of me and was just looking at the aura.

Hansong-i tilted her head and asked.

What were you talking about?

Oh! Were you talking about business cards and coupons?

“I just contacted Hana, and she said she’ll be here soon. I guess we can talk about it then. What do you think?”

“Okay, thank you.”

Then, Hansong-i bashfully smiles. This time, if I receive help, I will repay you properly.

But what can I do for you?

‘The only things the cafe can offer are drinks and bread… … Oh, right! We’re running out of milk.’

I almost forgot.

I immediately left a text message to Bae Jun-ho. But then I got a call in return.

“Yes. Hello.”

─Oh, yes. I’m Bae Jun-hop from Bonghwang Mart. I’m sorry, but I think we might have trouble supplying milk for the time being.

uh?

“Milk?”

─Yes, I have a little problem… … Is it urgent?

“No. I still have a little left to write… … Do you know what’s going on?”

─Ah, that’s… … .

I asked in surprise because something had suddenly come up.

There must have been something wrong. But fortunately or unfortunately, it wasn’t the problem with Phoenix Mart.

“Oh, I see. Okay, I understand.”

─Yes. I’m sorry.

“No. It’s not Bae Jun-ho’s fault. But it’s fortunate. There may be no guarantee, but I heard about it in advance.”

─Thank you for your understanding.

So, I cut off contact with Bae Jun-ho.

“Huh? Who are you? Isn’t that Grandpa Bae from Bong Hwang Mart?”

“Oh, Suah, you know?”

Su-ah asked if he was listening.

It’s not a secret, so I decided to explain it briefly.

This is an important issue for Su-ah too.
