by admin‘Me?’
For a moment, Soo-ah’s mind went blank.
‘They recognize me?’
It’s the first time a stranger has recognized her. It’s only natural to be surprised. Meanwhile, the number of people inside the convenience store continued to increase.
That’s because there were more in their group. It looked like they had all been having a get-together. It was clear from the fact that they were all young, dressed up, and had flushed faces.
“Why aren’t you coming in? I’m desperate for a cigarette.” “What’s wrong?” “What is it? What’s the matter?”
Soo-ah examined them once more.
‘It’s definitely the first time. They’re people I’m really seeing for the first time.’
These days, her intelligence is often underestimated, but Soo-ah prided herself on remembering people well.
‘…Their attitude isn’t hostile.’
Still, Soo-ah asked just in case.
“Have we… met before?”
A question uttered as carefully as possible. Of course, with image management in mind. Soo-ah is now an expert at pretending to be calm.
Then, the expression on the faces of the group in front of her turned blank.
“…That voice, it’s her. It’s really Soo-ah *nim*.”
They exchanged glances, then were silently shocked. Soo-ah worried that their jaws might drop.
“Kim Yu-han! Soo-ah *nim* who played Kim Yu-han! Right? Special Task Force 808? No, we were just talking about the drama! But like this…! Wow, uh, really…!”
Soo-ah was quite taken aback by their increasingly inarticulate and devolving behavior. Am I the cause?
That’s when the Soo-ah Association chimed in.
─Imagine encountering in reality a character who was just in the TV until recently. Of course, you’d be surprised. ─Yes. And the twist was amazing, too.
‘So, in other words…’
Soo-ah realized it then.
‘…They recognized me as an actress?’
At the same time, a thrill ran through her as if struck by lightning.
She understood. They recognized Soo-ah as an actress, and were freaking out just because of that fact. Soo-ah quickly felt like running wild, too. A sense of elation surged within her.
‘No way. No, it makes sense, but it’s amazing!’
Soo-ah even felt like becoming their fan. They recognized me! I’m so thankful!
Soo-ah gratitude! Soo-ah touched! Soo-ah thrilled!
“What do I do! It’s really Soo-ah *nim*! What do I do!”
They stagger even when Soo-ah just looks at them. She was covering her mouth with one hand and reaching out to Soo-ah with the other, and it was even more spectacular when Soo-ah took it.
“Aaaah!”
Weren’t they going to collapse completely? As if electricity were flowing through Soo-ah’s body. Honestly, Soo-ah almost collapsed too…
Meanwhile, the commotion steadily grew.
“They must be real overseas returnees. What’s with that vibe…!” “Is that really Lee Soo-ah *nim* herself?” “Episode 8 was so much fun!”
“She cried!” “It’s because she drank! You cried too!”
Soo-ah realized something around this point.
‘The twist in episode 8 worked quite well.’
She was worried it might be unpleasant, but she was sure it had worked wonderfully. The faces of the group facing Soo-ah were full of joy. The more joy they had, the more excited Soo-ah became.
“Soo-ah *nim*, but what are you doing at the convenience store?”
“…”
She didn’t have any underwear to change into to take a bath at Seo Yeon-joo’s house. It was hard to be honest about that. Therefore.
“Character research…” “Huh? Crazy! Are you already filming something?” “That’s a secret clause…”
Secret clause. Soo-ah was now rattling off even difficult words. Could Soo-mi use them too? I don’t know!
“I, I’ll definitely watch your next work!” “Me too!”
“Please win the Best Newcomer Award!”
Thump thump!
Soo-ah felt her heartbeat quicken. On the other hand, a belated worry arose. How do I get out of here? She didn’t want to turn away the people who had recognized her.
That’s when it happened.
“Um, is it okay if I ask for something else…?”
One person plucked up the courage to ask.
“…”
Soo-ah couldn’t answer.
It’s the first time she’s met someone who recognizes her. It means she hasn’t set a standard for what’s permissible yet. Of course, she wouldn’t lend them money.
Rather, she realized it after hearing the question.
‘I almost agreed to anything, swept up in the atmosphere. Be kind but be mindful of the image. The weight of an actress!’
Soo-ah came up with a clever idea and held out her hand.
Since she shook hands with one person, it meant she would shake hands with everyone. If she did it fairly, there wouldn’t be any complaints later.
“Ah, a handshake!” “A handshake with Soo-ah *nim*!”
Hands flock to her like doctor fish, bumping into each other. Only then did they decide on an order and begin to grab Soo-ah’s hand.
“Kim Yu-han! I shook hands with Kim Yu-han!” “So warm…” “Aaaah!”
Meanwhile, the part-timer wearing a convenience store vest took out an A4 sheet and a marker. It was accompanied by a cry full of desperation.
“Soo-ah *nim*, can I get an autograph!” “It’s not that I can’t…” “OMG! Me too!” “Me too!” “I want one too!”
Soon, A4 sheets swarmed towards Soo-ah like sharks, but Soo-ah was worried about something else.
‘…Come to think of it, I don’t have an autograph?’
Famous celebrities each have a cool signature autograph, but Soo-ah doesn’t have one yet. It’s because she never even imagined that the day would come when she would sign an autograph for someone.
It was okay. Soon, a good idea came to mind.
“Just a moment.”
What Soo-ah chose was not text, but a drawing.
Scribble scribble─
Soo-ah drew each of their caricatures.
Of course, it was just a light sketch, but not in their eyes. The working time was short, but it was clear who she had drawn. The marker felt like ink.
“C-can I really receive something like this…?”
Touched. That was the reaction of the first person who received it.
Meanwhile, the Soo-ah Association nodded.
─Avoiding danger by not taking pictures, and giving the autographs a unique quality that prevents resale? It’s quite an excellent move. Good.
─This girl is strangely smart only in this kind of area. Especially in areas where affection is exchanged between people.
─Savagery and purity are actually similar.
Scribble scribble─!
Soo-ah didn’t stop the marker she held in her hand.
“Looking at the drawing, it’s definitely her! It’s Kim Yu-han!” “The drawings weren’t just props, they were skillful…?” “Crazy! The actor hurdle is ridiculously high!”
Thanks to the good reactions, her speed increased further.
However.
‘Hmm?’
She felt something strange when she had used up one pen.
Why aren’t the people handing over A4 sheets decreasing? She realized it soon after. Even at this moment, people were flocking to her.
“What’s going on over there?” “…Is something happening inside!” “What is it? Why are so many people gathered here?”
At the same time, a garbage bag was prepared on one side of the convenience store.
“Soo-ah *nim*! Tell us what you want to eat!” “W-we’ll do something for you too!” “Please accept it! It’s the drawing fee!”
In the end, she used up two markers and filled a 20-liter garbage bag. No, even this was the result of Soo-ah refusing anything more.
…It was simply unbearable.
◈◈◈◈◈
The next day, 7:00 AM.
That is, 9 hours after the broadcast of episode 8.
Whirr─!
Soo-ah was drying her hair at Seo Yeon-joo’s mansion.
‘What is this newfangled thing?’
That was Soo-ah’s impression as she used the hair dryer with a wet towel around her head. What is this, it’s on a different level to the extent that the fan Soo-ah used at home feels like a toy.
Thanks to that, she had a goal.
‘When I make money, I’m going to start by changing my house and furniture!’
At the same time, she rehashed what had happened yesterday.
‘I’m still not sure. Was it a dream?’
People recognized her, and their reactions were quite favorable. A feeling as if walking on clouds.
It was childish, but she was lost in the thought of pinching her cheek hard, a very Soo-ah-like thought.
Suddenly.
There was a hand grabbing Soo-ah’s chest firmly.
‘Ugh…!’
Soo-ah was startled and flustered, but fortunately, only in her mind. In reality, she stood frozen, only rolling her pupils narrowed with white eyes to look at the other person reflected in the mirror.
It was Seo Yeon-joo.
“Sorry, sorry. Are you angry?”
She retreated, raising both hands as if surrendering.
“I just wanted to touch them once. I couldn’t resist. You stayed at my house, so please let this slide.”
She lightly tapped Soo-ah’s shoulder as if telling her to let go of her angry expression, but Soo-ah quietly examined the floor. She wondered if her heart had just popped out of her mouth….
“More than that, it’ll take forever to dry it like that. We don’t have time.”
Seo Yeon-joo turned on two hair dryers and held them.
“The CEO is in a frenzy since this morning. We have to go to headquarters quickly. Well, it’s not just the CEO who’s in a frenzy. All of Korea probably is?”
Seo Yeon-joo quickly dried Soo-ah’s hair. After that, applying makeup was a breeze.
“Something happened when you went out yesterday, didn’t it?” “Huh?”
Soo-ah was taken aback. Did she follow me?
“Why?” “Well, it’s all overflowing with stories about you.”
Seo Yeon-joo held out a cell phone with SNS open.
[ Real-Time Trends ]
Trending in korea
▶ Special Task Force 808 ▶ Episode 8 Twist ▶ Lee Soo-ah = Kim Yu-han ▶ Kim Yu-han in person ▶ Lee Soo-ah autograph
Seo Yeon-joo pressed on ‘Lee Soo-ah Drawing’ among them, and soon, posts related to it poured out.
─I saw Kim Yu-han in person at the convenience store, and it was crazy. There are no pictures taken together, but I’m attaching the autograph I received…!
─Lee Soo-ah autograph ㅠㅠㅠ The quality is insane ㅠㅠㅠ I should really have paid for something like this, but she just coolly tossed it over without saying anything. Angel ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
─What’s up with Soo-ah *nim*’s drawing skills? You draw so well that my ugly face comes out as it is. I should have been born a little prettier…
“…”
Soo-ah unknowingly swallowed hard.
Thump thump thump─!
It was at the same time as her heart was beating hard.
Without realizing it, she reached out towards Seo Yeon-joo’s cell phone. It was an instinct. An instinct to see more of people’s reactions.
Thump thump thump─!
Soo-ah was now like humanity when they realized that tomatoes were not poisonous at some point. Until last night, she was afraid and reluctant to see the reactions, but now it’s different.
Through the short fan meeting at the convenience store and the posts and trends just now, she was convinced.
The world was more friendly than Soo-ah had thought. Really tremendously.
It’s just a honey pot! I’m ready to devour anything!
But.
‘Eck.’
Soo-ah couldn’t do that.
“…”
─♩♪♬
Just then, Seo Yeon-joo’s cell phone received a call.
“Oh, I think the van has arrived. Let’s go down.”
Soo-ah followed without complaint, but Seo Yeon-joo smiled knowingly, as if she had guessed Soo-ah’s inner thoughts.
“Think of it as a quick taste.” “Pardon?” “Just seeing one page of SNS is all it is. How much happened while we were sleeping? The entertainment industry will be buried under a mountain of work and have trouble breathing. Let’s go tease them a lot.”
Just.
Two words that excited Soo-ah.
But it was also true. She only stopped by a convenience store once, and she’s only seen one page of SNS.
She hasn’t even confirmed how much the world has changed, how Soo-ah has been accepted. It means she hasn’t checked the real thing yet.
“So, how’s the air up there?”
Seo Yeon-joo’s joke had the right answer.
