episode_0085

Despite Seo Yisoo’s wounded self-esteem.

The filming of proceeded very smoothly.

Even Seo Yisoo, who was initially lost in his endless insignificance, was tormented at first.

But as he started putting the finished dishes in his mouth, he began filming the mukbang with a bright smile as if nothing had happened.

Seo Yisoo doesn’t know how to cook.

He doesn’t offer any help.

He was such a worthless person.

But instead.

“Um! Bae Soyun. This curry has a truly innovative taste.”

“R-really? It doesn’t seem that special to me.”

“Oh, don’t belittle yourself like that. This planet is divided into before and after your cooking.”

“….R-really?”

“Yes, yes!”

He was also a top foodie as an eater.

His reactions were so overwhelmingly positive.

The person who gave him food felt a sense of pride just by watching him eat.

Seo Yisoo really ate with all his heart and soul.

“Phew….”

“It feels like I’m doing a live mukbang.”

“I’ll just eat a cup ramen quickly and come back.”

The filming staff, who were already hungry just by watching how well he ate, were suffering from hunger.

The three of them were probably cast to capture the sincere appearance of rookie actors.

But instead of Seo Yisoo’s performance, it turned into a full-fledged mukbang recording of the rookie actors.

Anyway.

Seo Yisoo ate to his heart’s content.

And he played hard.

There was plenty to do.

It was a vast field covered in snow.

“Ah! Seo Yisoo!”

“Ahaha!”

Seo Yisoo sneakily attacked Han Sunyul by squinting his eyes.

Then he laughed at Han Sunyul, who raised his eyebrows.

Of course….

It was a foolish act that couldn’t see an inch ahead.

“….Alright. That’s it.”

He had been treating Seo Yisoo well because he owed him a lot.

Han Sunyul was originally quite picky.

Just look at how he treats Bae Soyun.

But even though he was such a person.

He fearlessly challenged them to a staring contest.

“Bae Soyun.”

“Y-yes?”

“It’s war. I’m a merciful person enough to allow you and Seo Yisoo to team up.”

“I-I want to team up with you.”

“I refuse!”

“Hey! Han Sunyul!”

Han Sunyul started attacking the two actresses by squinting his eyes.

It was a 2 vs. 1 fight.

But Han Sunyul was a skilled warrior.

He dodged the snowballs thrown by the two actresses quickly and continued to attack without rest.

“Ahaha!”

“Ahaha….”

“Ah….”

At first, Seo Yisoo was excited to have a staring contest.

But soon, the excitement turned into fear, frustration, and regret.

Han Sunyul dominated the battlefield like that.

“Ah, Han Sunyul, that’s real. I can’t. I won’t. I surrender!”

Unable to bear it, Bae Soyun ran away.

“I-I….”

Seo Yisoo also tried to run away, but he tried.

“Where are you going?”

“Eek.”

Unable to run away, Seo Yisoo was caught by Han Sunyul.

“H-Han Sunyul….”

“Oh, Seo Yisoo.”

Seo Yisoo turned to Han Sunyul with trembling eyes.

And with a deep sense of reflection, he said to him.

“I think I made a big mistake.”

“Yes. You did.”

“…I was wrong.”

Seo Yisoo apologized for his mistake.

He did it with all his sincerity.

And.

In life, only the heart is everything.

At Seo Yisoo’s heartfelt apology, Han Sunyul smiled warmly.

Seo Yisoo looked at that smile and smiled back in relief.

Han Sunyul said.

“Seo Yisoo. I’ll tell you one truth of life.”

“Yes, yes. Tell me. I really, always learn a lot from you, Han Sunyul. You’re like a teacher in my life.”

Seo Isu swallowed the abusive remarks from Han Sunyul with great effort.

To her, who was like that,

Han Sunyul spoke with a warm smile.

“Why would we need the police if it’s all over with an apology?”

“Ah!”

A huge snowball, bigger and bigger than Seo Isu’s sincerity, engulfed her.

The warm world of her heart was covered by such cold and harsh violence.

The heart is sometimes a helpless thing.

Seo Isu couldn’t resist Han Sunyul’s violence.

It was a disastrous event.

“…Ouch!”

After such disastrous violence ended,

Seo Isu truly had tears welling up in her eyes.

Even though she changed her clothes, the cold wouldn’t go away.

So she had to sneeze strangely.

“…It’s cold.”

Sniffling with a runny nose, she couldn’t be so miserable.

Feeling sorry inside, Han Sunyul coughed nervously.

“Hmm, hmm.”

“Ugh, Han Sunyul. Why don’t you know the limits when you get excited?”

“…No. I got carried away because it’s been a while since I had a snowball fight.”

“Han Sunyul. I’m fine…. If you’re excited, I’m okay with that….”

“Why are you even more sorry?”

“It’s cold…… It’s too cold.”

“…I’m really sorry. Don’t say things like that while dozing off. It makes me a bit scared that something might happen.”

Anyway, that’s how it was.

With mukbang and snowball fights, they had fun, and before they knew it, it was nighttime.

As a punishment for their wrongdoing, that night Han Sunyul had to build a fire alone.

It was a trivial matter that she also had to grill the meat by herself.

“Seo Isu! Here, have some meat!”

“Yeah, yeah!”

Feeling sorry, Han Sunyul piled a lot of meat onto Seo Isu’s plate.

And once again, Seo Isu started a full-fledged mukbang.

That’s how “Camping in Winter!” was heading towards the highlight of the shoot.

They were actors.

Moreover, they were actors filming for “Business Partners.”

Originally, their appearance on “Camping in Winter!” was primarily for promotional purposes.

That’s why the three rookie actors had a mission.

“Hmm.”

Changing the mood with a cough, Han Sunyul suggested, “Just playing around like this is a bit…. Should we fill up the broadcast time a bit?”

From now on, what would unfold was not a pre-planned and directed scene, but rather impulsive actions of the rookie actors.

“W-What… What do you mean?”

Seo Isu, who was huddled in Bae Soyun’s arms because she was cold, awkwardly asked in a normal tone of voice.

Han Sunyul chuckled as she received the line.

“We’re actors. How about a simple skit?”

A skit.

Usually, skits are mainly done by entertainers for comedic acting.

But the three rookie actors’ situation was different.

According to the settings prepared by the “Business Partners” production team to subtly resemble the work, they were supposed to showcase their acting skills.

The goal was to impress viewers who were casually watching the entertainment show with the unexpected performances of the actors.

And to attract the interest of those viewers to “Business Partners” where these actors appeared.

“Oh…. Is it okay? What should the skit setting be?”

Bae Soyun, who was playing with Seo Isu’s hair in her arms, said.

“If it’s something impactful, that would be great.”

The three of them exchanged dialogue as if they were spontaneously coming up with a setting.

“If it’s impactful, how about this? We’re in the mountains here. Han Sunyul and I are kidnappers, and Seo Isu is the victim.”

“Sounds good. We kidnap her, things don’t go well, so we end up killing Seo Isu and trying to dispose of her in the mountains.”

“Hehe, hehe.”

“…No. It’s just a setting. Why are you getting scared just imagining it?”

“Ah, I know. I know, but still, even just imagining it is…. scary.”

And so it went.

The performance has begun.

#New Number ????

-Seolsan

I am not a person who desires.

I was not originally like that.

But at some point, I became that person.

Because I am a person.

Because humans are animals.

Animals reinforce behavior through reward and punishment.

So, humans are the same as animals in that regard.

If rewarded, the behavior is reinforced.

If punished, the behavior decreases.

Every time I desired, I was punished.

When I desired a happy school life, I was bullied.

When I desired a happy family, my parents died in an accident.

When I desired the well-being of my only remaining sibling, they were kidnapped.

There was no way to resist.

At least, that’s how events unfolded in my life.

Irresistibly.

Without a chance to prepare.

They just came crashing down on me like accidents.

Through such punishments,

I learned not to desire.

People say that the future is unpredictable.

I agree.

I do not know my future.

But whatever that future may be,

It will surely be the most malicious form for me.

It will definitely be that way.

And I won’t be able to resist that future.

An inevitable future.

People call such a future destiny.

I was a person who did not desire.

I was someone accustomed to passively accepting my fate.

And even now, it will likely be the same.

“Hey.”

The man who kidnapped me spoke to me.

“You. You’re going to die soon. How does it feel?”

He had a malicious smile on his face.

As if he hoped to see me scared.

But…

I had already experienced enough violence dictated by fate to not be scared of fate.

Familiar violence only made people powerless, not fearful.

So, I looked up at the man.

And with a bitter smile, I said defiantly,

“Do as you wish.”

I didn’t care anymore.

Do as you wish.

“….”

“….”

For a moment, the entire set fell into silence.

This was a variety show set.

And the people gathered here were staff for the variety show.

When people are shocked beyond expectation, they either lose their words or remain silent.

That’s how they were now.

They had witnessed a genuine, incredibly violent level of acting that they never expected to see on a variety show.

As if entranced, everyone was staring at Seo Yisu.

In that short drama scene where she showed her performance, everyone was captivated.

“Uh, uh, uh!”

After a brief moment passed.

A staff member, as if waking from a trance, stuttered in surprise.

And that was the signal.

“Wow…!”

“What is that?!”

No one fully understood what had just happened.

“No… It’s like… I got sucked in for a moment.”

“When I saw Seo Yisu acting, my mood just felt strange.”

Everyone, as one, had been swept away by the emotions Seo Yisu portrayed in her acting.

They were all captivated by her performance.

A staff member cautiously murmured,

“This might sound a bit strange, but…”

He looked at the three actors gathered where the camera was pointing.

And in a hushed voice, he said to his colleague,

“The other two. They’re on a different level. It’s just different.”

“Yeah.”

Han Sunyul and Bae Soyun showed quite convincing acting.

For rookie actors, it was truly stable acting.

But Seo Yisu.

The acting she displayed was something entirely different from the other two.

“When this airs…”

People do not know the future.

But they can make predictions.

With strong conviction, the staff shared their predictions.

“It’s going to cause a stir.”

***

And that prediction turns out to be exactly right.

The broadcast of filmed by three rookie actors went through editing and was aired in early February.

KVN, known as the rising star of the broadcasting industry.

While dramas were popular, the variety shows had just as much influence despite having fewer programs.

The first episode of , which focused on rookie actors like Seo Eisu, was watched with great public interest.

Many viewers who watched the broadcast were truly surprised.

[Winter Camping! Seo Eisu’s Surprising Acting Skills Making Headlines!]

– Wow… What is this? I was watching with a smile, but was shocked.

– Seriously…;; I was watching, cheering for Seo Eisu cooking and having a staring contest, but when I saw her acting, I was speechless.

– Seo Eisu is naturally good at acting!

– Wow… What expressive emotions! She really draws you in.

– Is it because she’s an actress?

– Not all actresses can do that….

Han Sunyul and Bae Soyun also acted alongside her.

In terms of public recognition, idol Bae Soyun was expected to be the most popular among the three.

However, when the broadcast became a hot topic.

The only thing that remained in people’s minds was Seo Eisu.

Her acting had something that stimulated the emotions of the viewers.

The reactions of the viewers of became a hot topic.

Scenes of Seo Eisu’s acting were made into gifs and spread everywhere.

Even to the general public who didn’t watch the broadcast, related issues were transmitted.

Seo Eisu is still a rookie actress.

She is not a top star, but more of a rising star.

So most people didn’t know much about Seo Eisu.

And they admired her acting skills based on tremendous talent that was unexpected for a rookie actress.

Even though the public didn’t know Seo Eisu well, they started to show interest and curiosity about her.

And naturally, they began to have expectations.

That actress.

Even in a situation drama like this.

If she acts properly, what kind of charm will she show that will captivate me?

Such expectations.

And a strong desire for those expectations to be fulfilled soon.

All these emotions were directed towards Seo Eisu.

As a rookie actress.

Not even a top star, just a rising star.

It could be said that she had an unbelievable level of influence.

And.

Leading all this flow was.

None other than Hong Geunsik.

He handed Seo Eisu the masterpiece .

He arranged an interview for Seo Eisu, laying the foundation for her to step in front of the public.

He made Seo Eisu appear on a variety show, imprinting the image of a ‘natural genius.’

“Teacher.”

On the set of .

There, Choi Daeun asked.

“Actress Seo Eisu. Why are you so good at this?”

To that question, Hong Geunsik replied.
