“I will resign.”
In the narrow president’s office, a fairly tall man resolutely muttered.
“I have arranged the things I was in charge of so that there is no problem, I will stop here.”
A man who expresses his will to resign very calmly. His short hair gives a very dark impression. My name is Woojin Kang. Seeing him like that, the president, who resembled a flat-chested toad, smiled absurdly.
“under! Are you going to hit me? you dude! What kind of Chinese land is the design floor? It’s filthy narrow here. What if you hit me like this? Do you think the job change will be easy? huh?”
The boss who spit out a nagging sound mixed with annoyance and sarcasm. However, Kang Woo-jin, standing in a daze, did not answer.
‘It’s a change of job, it’s Nabal, and it’s none of your business, you bastard toad.’
Now he just wanted to go home quickly. The company Kang Woo-jin was leaving was an ordinary design company with about 20 employees.
A very good company among small and medium-sized enterprises.
Kang Woo-jin, who has been designing all his life from high school to college and beyond, was in his fourth year at this damn company. Now he is 27 years old.
‘When I think about it, I only have memories of being a real beggar.’
The name is a design company, but due to the nature of small and medium-sized enterprises, chores other than design work were overflowing. There was also a lot of overtime work. then what? I had to pay overtime pay, and I had to go to work on weekends.
Annual? What is it, ah- boiled tea?
That’s how Kang Woo-jin reached his limit. and today. Monday morning. Woojin burst out as soon as he saw his toad boss.
I don’t know, scream.
To be honest, it was Kang Woo-jin, who wrote the resignation letter two years ago. everyone will be the same Anyway, the toad boss who was glaring at Kang Woo-jin in front shook his hand.
“Ha… that’s ridiculous. Hey, okay, turn it off, turn it off. There are a lot of guys who do as much as you. Don’t come out tomorrow.”
To this, Kang Woo-jin replied as if he had been waiting.
“Yes, I understand. Also, please send overtime pay and severance pay properly.”
“······Hey you.”
“I roughly did the calculations. Boss, I don’t want to make it big. then.”
When I make up my mind, the words come out easily. Kang Woo-jin, chanting inwardly, greeted the toad president appropriately and left the president’s office. Soon, support and encouragement poured into Kang Woo-jin. were the staff. Well done, envious, etc. Among them, Kang Woo-jin and his close staff were next to him.
“I’m envious of escaping. But what are you going to do now?”
What are you going to do? well. I was honestly worried. What will you eat in the future? But today, after putting aside his worries, Woojin moved to his seat and answered appropriately.
“Honestly, I don’t do design anymore. Well- there is one with walking attached, but I want to go to that.”
“walking? where?”
“Australia.”
after a few tens of minutes.
Kang Woo-jin stared blankly at the monitor with his chin resting. After his resignation was confirmed, his loss of motivation came flooding back.
Then.
-Sue.
Kang Woo-jin, with a weak face, picked up his cell phone. Unread messages and time were displayed on the screen of the mobile phone.
-February 3, 2020
-Am 10:22.
It’s only been 30 minutes? I don’t waste time. It was at this time.
– Knock!
Suddenly, the door of the president’s office opened eccentrically, and the red-faced toad shouted.
“hey!! Kang Woo-jin!”
That cry was, of course, directed at Kang Woo-jin.
“You just get out of here! Because I don’t want to see you!”
At the same time, Kang Woo-jin sang joy inwardly.
‘It’s honey, it’s me, thank you.’
A week later, Kang Woo-jin’s studio. around noon
Kang Woo-jin lived in Suji, Yongin. The inside of his studio was, to say the least, neater than expected, with the clothes hanging on the walls neatly. I feel like I’m always good at tidying up.
in the center of such a one-room.
“·······”
Some beggars are scattered and asleep. Of course, it was Kang Woo-jin. Contrary to the clean studio, his appearance was that of a beggar. When he went out yesterday, his mouth was padded, and his hair, which he had styled himself, had also turned into a mess.
Even Kang Woo-jin smells of alcohol every time he exhales. It’s because I had a big drink with her friends last night to commemorate her departure.
Has it been like this for about an hour?
“······Uh- Mr.”
Sangjiga who woke up. No, Kang Woo-jin groaned as he lay down.
“Ugh… I’m going to break my head.”
Woojin grabbed his head with both hands and looked around. Eh? house? how did i get home
“Yesterday… I can remember up to the second round.”
After that, it was empty. memory erased. I forcibly tried to recall the shattered yesterday, but in vain. Is it because it’s been a long time since I drank like this? Kang Woo-jin let out a long sigh mixed with the smell of alcohol. Giving up on remembering.
“Hu- I don’t know, he must have come somehow.”
Woojin immediately turned on the delivery app. From the moment I woke up, I had a craving for cold noodles. Haejang, Haejang came first.
At this time.
– Woo-woo, woo-woo.
The delivery app turned on, and the cell phone spat out a long vibration. that the call came. The opponent was one of Kang Woo-jin’s balls friends. In addition to her, she was also a member of yesterday’s drinking party. My friend’s name is Kim Dae-young. Next, Kang Woo-jin lay down next to her and put her cell phone on her ear.
“uh-”
At Woojin’s dying voice, Daeyoung Kim giggled across the phone.
“Listen to your voice? Are you on the verge of falling behind? Heck, did you still go home alive?”
“Hey, how much did we eat yesterday? I am paralyzed right now.”
“You don’t remember??”
“uh. Memories are completely gone.”
Upon hearing the answer, Kim Dae-young immediately spat out abusive language.
“Sick. You suddenly disappeared while drinking yesterday. about 30 minutes. Seriously, I was about to report it to the police. What did you do then?”
“Sincerity? do you remember But why are you calling?”
“Ah- Mr. Then you don’t even remember talking to me yesterday? You and I agreed to go to the interview together.”
interview? Kang Woo-jin scratched her chin slowly. She doesn’t remember anything at all.
“What kind of interview is this all of a sudden? you’re doing well at work Are you trying to move? Are you crazy? It’s a medium-sized company there, isn’t it?”
“No, wow- this bastard is real. It’s not a company interview, it’s a ‘Super Actor’ preliminary screening!”
The ‘Super Actor’ Kim Dae-young talked about was an entertainment show that was recently in production. The broadcaster is SBC. It was an audition entertainment show to discover hidden stars according to the title, and it had already been heavily publicized for a month.
Whatever it was, Kang Woo-jin tilted his head and asked back to his cell phone.
“’Super Actor’? Hey, are you going to go out there? Did you take a route as an actor at all?”
Over the cell phone, Kim Dae-young spat out curse words again.
“no! asshole! oh that’s frustrating I told you yesterday … I did, but I got the first one.”
“Oh! really?”
Kang Woo-jin’s friend Kim Dae-yeong had acting as a hobby. He attended the company on weekdays and the theater club on weekends. Of course, Kang Woo-jin knew this too.
“Looks like someone just put it on. When I see you attached.”
“Shut up. Anyway, I have an interview with the first judge tomorrow morning, and even though it’s not a formal shoot, I’m nervous, so I asked you to go with me.”
“So my answer yesterday was okay?”
Oh, such a crazy thing. Kang Woo-jin immediately changed his words.
“I was drunk, my friend. The me of yesterday was not me. Hey, and why am I going there? what are you going to do? Aren’t you going to work tomorrow?”
“That is what I know. You just need to stay by my side and give me warmth. You can come with your family or friends. When I have an interview, please wait outside.”
“······I don’t feel hungry today.”
“Aye! hey! After all, you are unemployed now! After that, pork belly and soju! Live as long as you want!”
“hmm-”
Kang Woo-jin is slightly worried. At this time, Daeyoung Kim shouted additionally.
“Hong Hye-yeon is among the judges tomorrow!!”
– Stop.
Kang Woo-jin’s eyes, which stopped moving for an instant, flashed.
“···what? who?”
“red! Hye! kite! Maybe you can see Hong Hye-yeon.”
“Sincerity?”
“Real true. Hang your hands.”
Hyeyeon Hong. She is now a top-notch actress. The actress in the imagination of all males. Hong Hye-yeon as a judge? Soon, Daeyoung Kim added an explanation beyond the cell phone.
“‘Super Actor’ has different judges for each episode, who was it? Anyway, I heard that he decided to do it because of a famous drama PD. Hong Hye-yeon works with that PD. She’s only doing it once for a while anyway.”
“How do you know that?”
“You crazy bastard, just search for articles and it will come out. Anyway, that’s that, but we also have friendship, right? uh? come with me.”
At this point, Kang Woo-jin, who stood up in a booth, replied with a firm face.
“You should have talked about friendship sooner. so my friend What time is it tomorrow?”
It was a crazy attitude shift.
The next morning, Wednesday, February 12th.
The time is around 10 o’clock. The venue is the Art Center of the SBC office building in Mok-dong. Kang Woo-jin and Kim Dae-young entered a five-story building that felt like an annex. For reference, Kim Dae-young was great. She is similar to Woojin, who is over 180, but her upper body is different.
anyway.
“Whoa – there are so many people.”
Kang Woo-jin admired. It was worth it. Because the lobby of the art academy was already overcrowded. Dozens of guide staff were placed at the entrance, and participants flocked to it. Wouldn’t it be at least 200 people? But this was medicine.
Kim Dae-young recited the reason.
“Is this about 30% off? I heard that the first round of screening for ‘Super Actor’ today is divided into hours.”
“Then, at least 600 people are coming today?”
“of course. Watch TV and live.”
“I don’t know, it has nothing to do with me.”
Anyway, Kang Woo-jin and Kim Dae-young, who had completed the information confirmation process with the information staff, walked through the corridor full of participants following the signs and staff’s hand gestures. Then, I entered the room called ‘Waiting Room 1’ at the door.
-Kirik.
Inside, plastic chairs were tightly packed in a large space, and more than half of them were occupied. It was at this time that Kang Woo-jin pointed at an empty chair with his index finger.
“Hey, let’s sit over there.”
“Okay.”
As soon as he sat down, Daeyoung Kim touched the number tag on his chest and took a deep breath.
“Whoop-whoop-ah crazy. Is the dog shaking?”
As if it was someone else’s job, Kang Woo-jin put his padding on and cramped his legs.
“Hey, you say it’s a hobby, but you’ve been in a theater club for quite a while, right? Hasn’t it been more than three years?”
“Right.”
“But are you nervous? What is your club, you say you do free concerts and that’s it?”
“Seed! Hey, is that and this the same class?”
“What is the difference? It’s the same acting. I don’t know what to do, but I have to force myself to feel on the same level. Maybe not? Will you become a top actor through this variety show?”
Soon, Kim Dae-young unfolded his imagination or delusion.
“Shiba… I thought about it for a while, but it gives me goosebumps.”
Kim Dae-young, who had been sobbing, suddenly looked around at dozens of participants and covered his stomach.
“Ah-hey, I want something big. Even something slightly moist.”
“It’s crazy, this. Interview or preliminaries, when does this start?”
“I don’t know, I heard that you can enter when the staff calls your name.”
“Then ask and quickly come back, don’t get tired of being moist while acting.”
However, as if such a scene was unacceptable, Daeyoung Kim jumped up and ran to the female staff standing at the entrance of the waiting room. She then ran out into the hallway after a brief conversation.
Seeing such a friend, Kang Woo-jin murmured softly.
“It’s a waste.”
I buried myself in the plastic chair even more. Maybe 10 minutes passed? Kang Woo-jin frowned and checked the time on his cell phone. Because Kim Dae-young’s comeback was too late.
“Why isn’t the madman coming?”
It was at this time.
“Kim Dae-Young, Kim Jun-Su, and Kim Tae-Jung!”
In front of the waiting room, a male staff member shouted at the participants who filled the plastic chairs.
“Kim Dae-young, Kim Jun-su, and Kim Tae-jung!!”
Is this by name? My friend Kim Dae-young’s name was called first. Thanks to that, the other participants moved forward when Kang Woo-jin was a little flustered.
soon.
“hey.”
Kang Woo-jin raised his hand and called the staff.
“I’m sorry, I’m Kim Dae-young’s friend. Now he’s going to the bathroom… I’m sorry. I’ll go and get it right now.”
“Ah- the bathroom? Hmm, wait. Is that your friend?”
“yes.”
Soon, a male staff member said something to the intercom hanging around his neck. The funny thing is that he laughed a little when he heard the answer. How to put it, a mischievous smile unique to the entertainment team. It looked like he was up to something.
A male staff member answered Kang Woo-jin who approached him.
“Then would your friend go in first?”
“yes?”
Are you crazy? Kang Woo-jin frowned.
“Me?”
“yes. My friend is the first, and if things go on like this, Daeyoung Kim is just eliminated. If you’re coming soon, just go in and take a seat. I will guide you when Kim Dae-young comes.”
Rather than a vacant seat, are you saying that someone should fill the seat? Well, I don’t know, but Kang Woo-jin, thinking of a friend for now, sighed lightly.
“Where can I go?”
after a while
Kang Woo-jin arrived at the end of the hallway. Two other participants were sitting on a chair in front of the door, and Kang Woo-jin was ushered into the room.
Within.
‘oh-‘
Woojin, who checked inside, exclaimed inwardly. Unlike the waiting room before, this place was decorated in its own way. The date desk in front has the ‘Super Actor’ logo embedded in it. There were two large cameras on the left side of the desk, and small cameras on the ceiling and here and there.
Fifteen staff members.
Among them, a short-haired woman who appeared to be in her late 30s approached Kang Woo-jin. A mischievous smile is a bonus.
“Are you Kim Dae-young’s friend? Right?”
Soon, Kang Woo-jin, who was looking inside the room, nodded appropriately.
“yes. I will call my friend right now.”
“is it so. Take this and sit in that chair over there.”
The woman handed Kang Woo-jin a thin wad of paper and pointed to a chair placed in front of the desk.
“Is that a side script? Today’s assignment is impromptu acting, so I’ll read the script for a while and show you the acting right away. If you are bored while waiting for a friend, read it for a while.”
“Ah- yes.”
“And the judges will be back soon.”
At this point, Kang Woo-jin asked quite confidently.
“What is it over there, is Hong Hye-yeon among the judges?”
The woman’s smile deepened.
“Yes, stay. Instead, you cannot sign autographs or take pictures.”
Awesome, Kang Woo-jin’s anticipation exploded at the moment. He even laughed as unobtrusively as possible, and Kang Woo-jin sat down on a single chair.
And then.
-Sue.
While calling Daeyoung Kim, I looked down at the side script on my lap. It was an unconscious act. Even looking at these scraps of paper didn’t mean much to Woojin.
but.
“Why isn’t this bastard answering the phone… huh?”
Kang Woo-jin, who was looking down at the script, hesitated.
“······what is this.”
To be precise, Kang Woo-jin looking down at the empty space next to the script. why? Because I saw something strange. What should I say about this? It is a rectangle the size of A4 paper, and black and gray are in the shape of a whirlwind. It was obviously odd.
Thanks to.
“·······”
Kang Woo-jin moved his index finger slowly as if possessed. I wanted to poke this strange thing. Kang Woo-jin then slightly but deeply dipped his index finger into the center of the whirling square.
The problem popped up after that.
“Oops!”
Kang Woo-jin was sucked into that something.
