The Novelist Who Leapt Through Time Episode 139
Kim Byeol has few friends.
It may seem strange that she has no friends despite being the nation’s little sister (10 years ago), a veteran child actor, and the ice queen of the theater and film department, but loneliness is always at its peak.
At least that’s what he says.
However, from my perspective, the reason Kim Byul doesn’t have any friends is because they are of different age groups.
Although his physical age may be similar to that of his peers, Kim Byeol is much older in terms of mental age.
Anyway, isn’t this a case where I started my social life 10 years ago?
Kim Byeol stood in front of the camera at a tteokbokki restaurant with her friends of the same age, with soup on her mouth and talking loudly while walking around.
And not because she was happy, but with a smile that looked prettiest from the camera angle, she said something that was not what she wanted to say, but something that others would not find fault with.
How could a child who lived in a world where people get scolded for not using the title ‘senior’ by mistake get involved with kids who say ‘Hey, Bae Seong-won is so fucking handsome’?
A child who has become too precocious to hang out with people of the same age.
In some ways, you could say that he is similar to me, with a smaller body but the same head.
However, unlike me, a real adult who possessed a resident registration card, Kim Byeol is a mere adult.
It means that he still has a childlike side.
A clear example is telling your few friends about things you can and should not say. I experienced less bitterness in life.
And one of those few, perhaps almost only, friends was none other than me.
So, I knew something about Kim Byeol’s manager and team leader Kim Seong-geun.
“Hello, team leader. “I heard a lot from senior Kim.”
“Oh really? “Did Byul talk about me?”
“Yes, I always trust and rely on you…” … .”
I roughly accepted the greeting from Team Leader Kim, who .
Team leader Kim showed a strangely low attitude toward me,
I was suspicious of that, so I asked Team Leader Kim what he meant.
“So, what’s going on?”
“Before we talk, come here for a moment… … .”
I followed the suspicious Team Leader Kim to an office.
And inside that office, strange members were gathered.
“hey. Writer Moon. It’s been a while-”
“president?”
President Baek Seung-won, Kim Byeol’s mother, and… Guy Yuna.
What kind of combination is this?

death.
The end of everything.
But is it really the end of everything?
From a cognitive perspective, death is the end of everything. This is because the world exists only through the observation of the ego, and the absence of an observer means the disappearance of the phenomenon.
However, humans can make inferences about others, context, and the world. Even if I die, if someone continues my will, it may be a beginning rather than an end.
It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or not.
Because that is the only hope of a dying person… … .
“Deacon… … .”
‘My’ will should be for the benefit of the world.
“Peace… … .”
“… … .”
“Peace to these poor people… … .”
Today’s living point here!
At the moment of death, you should not close your eyes and tilt your head back.
If you do that, you could be stigmatized as acting ‘Kkeakkkodak’ and be ridiculed for decades.
Nowadays, it is important to die beautifully.
So, I looked into space with vague eyes, smiled softly, and then-
He slowly relaxes his facial muscles, turns to a vague expressionless expression, and then lowers his head helplessly at an awkward angle.
Now that I have mastered the art of crying, a stream of tears flows down at the moment my head falls.
However, you should not close your eyes at this time.
This is because it seems more solemn to die with your eyes open and then have the other person close their eyes.
As expected, even though the eye-opening and dying thing was an ad-lib, the other person received it perfectly.
“ah… iced coffee… … !”
Trembling hands covered my face. He can’t really close his eyes, but he closes them knowingly.
I close my eyes so I can’t see it, but I can feel the other person’s acting just by hearing their voice –
As expected, sobbing well.
“Aaaah-!”
It is perfect.
It’s time to come out… … .
“okay! Cut!”
The other actor stopped sobbing at the PD’s OK sign, and Kim Byeol opened her eyes and finished playing the corpse.
“Tsk tsk tsk!”
As soon as Kim Byul finished acting, she spit out the fake blood that was in her mouth. I’ll make it a little more delicious, but it’s extremely sour. As expected, fake blood is delicious when made with starch syrup…
As Kim Byeol was thinking that this was absurd, her co-star, who had just watched Kim Byeol’s tragic death, held out her hand and helped her up.
“Hey, has Byul’s acting improved a lot?”
“haha… thank you.”
“I learned a lot while doing this work.”
The other person was someone who could be called a ‘great senior’ even considering Kim Byeol’s career as a child actor. He should have felt proud when such a senior colleague patted him on the shoulder and praised him, but Kim Byeol was not in a very good mood.
Because I clearly know what this guy is doing. Even if it doesn’t appear on TV, people in the same industry know it all. It’s impossible not to know.
However, the other party also knows this, so if Kim Byeol shows signs of discomfort, it will be immediately visible.
So Kim Byul has no choice but to continue acting.
“No! I really learned a lot! thank you!”
“Hehe, really, shame on people… … .”
The acting doesn’t end just because the PD calls cut.
The acting ends when you leave the filming set.
Kim Byeol said hello to people while acting as an “S-level talent who is humble, kind, gentle, sincere, kind, and so impressive that you might want to cast her in your next work.”
At the same time, if something seems pretentious, they start yelling at you behind your back, so the difficult part is controlling the tempo appropriately.
However, as an actor who has experienced the ‘dark ages’, Kim Byul persevered in the difficult role of acting. He is not called a veteran for nothing.
“Oh, actor Kim. “Thank you for your hard work.”
“No! No! “I am truly indebted to you!”
“Wow, you worked hard, our star… … !”
“I’m a writer… … !”
“Star, let’s meet again in the next work!”
“yes! sister! See you next time!”
There were still a few filming schedules left until the end of the drama , but Kim Byeol’s filming ended as of today.
Well, didn’t Kim Byeol’s role die just a moment ago? Death is the end of everything. That includes the end of drama filming.
However, Kim Byeol knew very well that the schedule was truly over only when she neatly said goodbye to the filming set members, so she said goodbye to her tired body.
However, there is no manager who can take care of his fatigue. Team Leader Kim, where on earth have you gone?
If you happen to be late while smoking somewhere this time, I won’t leave you alone. He wasn’t like this when we first met, but when he became team leader, he became a bit arrogant. Then, Kim Byeol has no choice but to become arrogant. You become a gangster… … .
Fortunately, there was no disaster in which the innocent child actor Kim Byul turned black and lost his face.
Kim Byeol’s manager, Team Leader Kim, appeared from somewhere on the filming set, dragging people with him.
Even CEO Baek Seung-won, wearing a white suit and sunglasses, was seen among the group led by Team Leader Kim.
“to… … ?”
I wondered what was going on, but everyone on set was looking at me with strange expressions.
In particular, the PD and writer are on the verge of bursting into laughter. My cheeks were swollen.
It was only then that the writer caught the eye of Kim Byeol, who was embarrassed.
“Why are you… … ?”
Before I can continue speaking, I see Gu Yuna next to him.
And next to him is his mother.
what? What combination is this?
The answer was naturally resolved when a cake on fire appeared from somewhere.
“happy birthday-”
“Huh… … .”
Byeol Kim.
Crying before the first verse of ‘Happy Birthday’ is even over!
* * *
“Why didn’t you tell me?” … .”
Kim Byul grumbled with swollen eyes. But she couldn’t hide the twitching corners of her mouth.
In the waiting room of the filming set, Kim Byeol, who was hugging Gu Yuna like a love doll, looked ugly in many ways.
“Ah, really childish… I’m a few years older than you, but they do things like this… … .”
“yes. yes.”
“Don’t you guys have anything to do? Aren’t you going to school? What did you come here for… … .”
“yes. yes.”
Kim Byeol, who pouted her lips, did not stop complaining until the end.
The part where he pretends not to like something while not even being able to hold back a smile is especially disgusting.
I wanted to hit my lips that were sticking out like a duck with a ballpoint pen, but I decided to hold back.
Because today was a good day.
Kim Byul’s birthday, Kim Byul’s departure from the drama, and the 10th anniversary of her contract with Baekhak Entertainment coincided with each other.
Of course, if you count from the date of debut, it has been a little over 10 years, but the contract with Baekhak Entertainment is separate.
Now, Kim Byul was not an actor who signed a contract with Baekhak Entertainment for ‘almost 10 years’, but an actor who signed a contract for ‘just 10 years’.
So, CEO Baek Seung-won, a man who is negligent toward his family but warm toward his actors, planned this surprise event to commemorate this.
And since I also received a birthday wish from the other day, I made Kim Byeol cry as repayment or retaliation.
Fortunately, Kim Byeol seemed to like this.
Kim Byeol, who was hugging Gu Yuna, suddenly gave strength to the arms hugging Gu Yuna.
Even though Gu Yu-na screamed and struggled without a sound, she couldn’t beat Kim Byeol’s strength, which can even handle horseback gun action in the Manchuria plains.
Kim Byeol couldn’t see Gu Yuna’s expression, so she just smiled softly, feeling cozy.
“ha… “It’s been a while since I held Yuna, so I feel recharged.”
“Iknow, right. Yuna is so happy that she wants to die. now.”
“You guys are going to Baekhak Arts High School next year, right? “I guess I’ll see you at school again then?”
Although Gu Yuna eventually escaped from Kim Byeol’s arms like a cat that got hit by a shower hose, Kim Byeol smiled and chattered about how much she was looking forward to next year.
Looking at that innocent smile, I had a different thought.
The world of adults is heartless. The world of capitalism is even colder.
So many adults didn’t move just to wish a child a happy birthday.
Just moments ago, CEO Baek Seung-won and Kim Byeol’s mother came to visit accompanied by a camera team.
This is a team owned by Baekhak Entertainment.
The team planned to commit a cruel and terrifying attack by turning Kim Byul’s birthday celebration reaction into the company’s own entertainment show on YouTube.
The terrifying idea of permanently stuffing a girl’s tears just for the sake of getting views!
It was truly an idea that could only be done by demons crazy about viewership ratings.
Even this was laying the groundwork for an even more evil plot… … .
When viewed from the grammar of the entertainment industry, YouTube’s own entertainment was actually a kind of ‘promotion’.
In other words, it is a ‘benefit’ provided by the company to actors.
Because it increases awareness.
So why is Baekhak Entertainment raising Kim Byeol’s awareness?
The answer is simple.
A master of the Korean film industry, owner of the Berlin Golden Bear Award.
This is because news spread that film director So Tae-woong is preparing a new film.
And the main character of the movie was a ‘teenager’.
As soon as the rumor spread, the eyes of entertainment agencies that had child actors turned upside down, and Baekhak Entertainment was no exception.
And Kim Byeol is the strongest card among Baekhak Entertainment’s ‘youth child actors’.
So Baekhak Entertainment, at the company level, was recruiting actors to participate in the casting competition.
The timing is also good. The filming of the drama was completed in a timely manner, and awareness has even increased due to the drama’s success.
What if there is a push from the company level at this time? The possibility is by no means low.
At Baekhak Entertainment, fantasy is probably already glimmering before your eyes.
Director So Tae-woong’s new film is sweeping the world, and the future is about riding the wave and making money…
However, the reason why my thoughts were complicated was not only because of the fact that Kim Byeol’s birthday party was planned with such impure intentions.
To explain this, we had to go back a little further.
* * *
lately.
That is, before I was even invited to Kim Byeol’s surprise birthday party operation.
Roughly speaking, it was around the time when I finished writing the novel ‘Dark Adaptation’ and was sitting around in a corner of the house.
“No, we just moved to the studio. How did you find out about it and come here?”
“Haha, there is a way.”
Director So Tae-woong came to see me.
