Now that the van had left for the “Lie, Lie, Lie” shoot, Soo-ah was busy racking her brain.
Mostly, it was worry.
‘…What should I do? I still don’t have a good plan.’
[ Lie, Lie, Lie. ]
▶ Sufficient elements of realization
▶ Grade 4
Now showing a grade of 4, Soo-ah couldn’t even figure out the cause. Of course, since she didn’t know the reason in the first place, she couldn’t come up with a way to raise the grade.
‘I guess all I can do is try my best to act.’
The effort Soo-ah could make was the same as ever. Of course, the grade of the work might not go up even after doing her best… But she would have to accept it.
‘Still, I won’t regret helping Yeon-joo unnie.’
Yeon-joo was like a sister who taught lonely Soo-ah about affection, and a grateful sunbae who had been kind to her since her rookie days. On the other hand, if she didn’t help Yeon-joo now, she would obviously regret it later.
So, just look ahead and walk, Soo-ah. Don’t be afraid.
Soo-ah, go straight!
‘Okay, let’s do that for “Samjitmal” for now.’
Soo-ah’s gaze turned to the script this time.
None other than Director Yusaku’s scenario. In other words, it was a work that was saved in Soo-ah’s head as “Soo-ahkuza.”
What should I say, it’s amazing.
‘…I’m getting a script from an overseas director? Me?’
How should I express this? It’s like getting a friend request from a foreign top-ranked player while playing a game? Later, Soo-ah tried to compare it to a restaurant, but failed due to her low intelligence.
Anyway.
‘I completely forgot about it. I really didn’t expect it.’
She drew Soo-ah’s yakuza appearance on the tablet during their last meeting, right? There was no contact after that. So I was worried that maybe it had gone wrong.
Soo-ah first looked at the title.
[ Minami Sawako ─ Daffodil ]
Soo-ah admired it as soon as she saw the title.
‘Daffodil? Somehow the title itself feels cool. It’s like a technique name used in martial arts. It feels like a peerless female master would use it.’
─ Child. Daffodil is the name of a flower…. ─ No, you don’t know the daffodil? The daffodil?
Soo-ah belatedly cleared her throat.
‘I was kidding. A joke.’
The Soo-ah Association retorted that if that was the case, was every moment of her life a joke, but she ignored it. Yeah, whatever, Soo-ah.
Kim Yi-seo next to her opened her mouth.
“I heard that Director Yusaku is in Korea right now.”
“Really? Why?”
Soo-ah thought. Did he leave his wallet behind or something?
“His purpose is to get inspiration. Experiencing many landscapes is a famous way to broaden the scope of art.”
“Ah, I see.”
“But.”
Kim Yi-seo suddenly put strength into her voice.
“Of course, the real purpose is something else.”
“What do you mean by real purpose?”
“Soo-ah.”
Kim Yi-seo looked at Soo-ah.
“Of course, the purpose is Soo-ah.”
“Me?”
“Mystic has also delivered the scenario, and I think he’s secretly waiting for the next meeting date to be set. He must have come in advance so that he can participate at any time.”
Soo-ah thought. Seriously?
‘He’s practically here for a meeting with me?’
She couldn’t help but feel new. The fact that someone wanted Soo-ah itself was unfamiliar, but even that person came in advance from overseas and was waiting.
“It seems like what he said at the last meeting was genuine. He judged that no one but Soo-ah could play that yakuza role. From Mystic’s point of view, it’s more than perfect.”
“I agree.”
Soo-ah agrees.
This time, she really understood. Since they consider Soo-ah irreplaceable, Mystic’s position is good, right? They can ask for that much more in contract money— Pajjijik!
‘….’
Soo-ah’s brain froze due to overload.
─ Oh dear. ─ Oh my.
While Soo-ah quickly blinked her eyes and rebooted her brain, Kim Yi-seo, who saw the scene, was frightened in advance.
…It’s natural. Who wouldn’t be scared when Soo-ah’s face is blinking her eyes like crazy?
Kim Yi-seo even had her own guess.
‘Ah, no way, please, is it what I’m worried about?’
She was anxious. She was afraid that Soo-ah would say she wouldn’t do it again.
In terms of position, Kim Yi-seo was superior, but in fact, if you look back at the moments when she chose her works, it always turned out the way Soo-ah decided. Kim Yi-seo prayed. Please don’t let it be that.
‘You must never miss the connection with Director Yusaku.’
Yusaku was a rare master who was known in both Korea and Japan. A hot rookie reaching out to Japan? It would receive a lot of attention.
That’s why there hasn’t been such a rookie before.
Kim Yi-seo also slowly felt like Soo-ah was like a meteor. Success is so fast that it’s hard to catch up with, and resistance is impossible, so it’s like a natural disaster. It was even difficult to imagine what she would look like in a few years. I really don’t know how far she will go.
Eventually, Kim Yi-seo opened her mouth.
“Soo-ah, you won’t change your mind, will you? You’ll do it, right?”
“Ummm.”
Soo-ah, who had finished rebooting, activated a perk.
[ Daffodil ]
▶ Sufficient elements of realization
▶ Grade 2
‘Oh!’
Soo-ah admired briefly and greatly.
Starting at grade 2 is excellent. It means that you can work on the work with a guaranteed minimum score. What’s more, if you work hard, the grade will go up from here.
The default is also high! The potential is endless!
Then, she suddenly became curious.
‘…But is grade 1 the maximum?’
For some reason, she didn’t think so.
That’s because works called masterpieces of the century won’t be in the same grade 1 range as the works Soo-ah has done, right? There must be a difference.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’
Soo-ah slightly raised the corners of her mouth.
‘I’ll work really hard and raise it to more than grade 1. I’m really going to create a golden portfolio.’
She’s not very smart, but she never gives up! Soo-ah’s motto!
“I won’t change my mind. I’ll work hard.”
Kim Yi-seo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Soo-ah belatedly became curious about one more thing.
‘Minami Sawako?’
She searched for the name on her phone, but no information came out. What is it? A rookie? But she soon decided not to worry about it. The grade is high, so it probably doesn’t matter.
◈◈◈◈◈
3 hours later.
‘Lie, Lie, Lie.’ Filming site.
“Let’s eat lunch and work again!”
The site that had been running like clockwork stopped for a while. After all, isn’t it all about eating to live? Everyone sat in a circle and picked up their spoons.
Because the atmosphere on set was good, there were hardly any people who ate separately. The staff gathered regardless of their field, and actors were sparsely seen.
Of course, their mouths weren’t just busy with eating.
“Yeon-joo’s acting was crazy today, wasn’t it?”
There’s no better side dish than chatting. It’s not fair to just fill your stomach on the already difficult filming set.
“I really thought Yeon-joo was possessed by a ghost.”
“…It feels like she became Park Si-yeon herself?”
“It suits her so well in the first place. How can you not believe it when she’s seducing you with such an innocent face? If Yeon-joo was a real con artist, I would have lost my house and car a long time ago.”
Everyone laughed loudly at someone’s words, and praise for Seo Yeon-joo continued for a while. That’s how well she did.
But as time passes, the topic also changes.
Soon, people’s interests moved.
“Soo-ah is coming after lunch, right?”
“Yes. I heard she’s coming now.”
The interest was Soo-ah.
“…I didn’t expect it at all. Seung-hwan posted a controversial post on SNS and got kicked out, right? So I was wondering who would fill the vacancy, but it’s Soo-ah!”
“I know. It was a position where we would have been grateful if someone just filled it, but a better one came in than before.”
So far, it was clearly a normal conversation.
Yes, it was.
“Aren’t you curious about Soo-ah’s real-life vibe?”
“That’s right. I’m so curious about what kind of person she is.”
Interest and questions about Soo-ah were the beginning.
Soon, it was filled with a lot of untrue things.
“I think everyone knows that she’s good at foreign languages because she’s from overseas, and I think she’s surprisingly humane? I’ve watched the entertainment show uploaded on MuTube three times.”
“I fell in love with Kim Yu-han and searched for her on Namu Wiki. They say she reads often, so she’s very intelligent.”
“A friend of mine was on the special task force 808 sound team, and Soo-ah personally worked on the climax BGM. They say her passion and skills for the work are amazing.”
“…Wow, then aren’t we really blessed?”
It’s all stories that Soo-ah would be surprised to hear.
But it was natural. The people here only came into contact with Soo-ah through Namu Wiki, galleries, characters in dramas, testimonies from acquaintances, and entertainment characters.
Who would know the truth about Soo-ah? No one knows!
“But is it okay? About the Im Soo-hee role, I mean.”
Of course, there were some voices of concern.
“Why? Because the gang leader is a woman?”
“Yes. There aren’t many roles like that. Kim Yu-han cross-dressed and even used special effects, but Im Soo-hee is going out as a real woman? I wonder if this is okay.”
“Hmm, that’s true.”
Her words were reasonable to some extent, but.
“Well, it’ll work out somehow because it’s Soo-ah. Let’s trust her.”
Everyone concluded by saying that they should trust her first.
In the end, one thing was certain.
At this moment, Soo-ah was receiving a lot of expectations and questions. You can tell just by looking at how everyone was so engrossed in chatting that they had already forgotten that their food was getting cold.
◈◈◈◈◈
Vroooooom─!
Meanwhile, Soo-ah opened the script for “Samjitmal.”
‘What I can do for Yeon-joo unnie is decided. To do my best and act hard.’
The filming was coming up, and that’s why she made up her mind.
Because the grade was still at 4, Soo-ah was more serious than ever. She’s willing to put on something that can be called “acting of a lifetime.” For both herself and Yeon-joo.
Swish swish swish─!
Soo-ah pulled out the emotions of ‘Im Soo-hee’, the leader of the Gyeil faction’s action team. It’s much easier to immerse yourself if you read it in this state.
‘The scene I’m filming today is….’
It’s a time point long after the part Soo-ah experienced before, when Seo Yeon-joo was preparing for the bar exam. Seo Yeon-joo has already become a prosecutor.
Soo-ah stopped her hand that was turning the pages.
‘…Huh? She doesn’t seem happy to be a prosecutor?’
Seo Yeon-joo became depressed after becoming a prosecutor.
She thought that she would be on the fast track as soon as she became a prosecutor, but the reality was not. It’s because she didn’t have connections.
Park Si-yeon (Seo Yeon-joo) was from a prosecutor’s background without a family, so she had no connections, and even her gender was female. In the end, she only worked all the time and was almost on the verge of depression.
But.
Seo Yeon-joo also gets a chance to turn her life around.
‘The center of the prosecution, top 1% prosecutor Kang In-hak.’
Seo Yeon-joo meets Kang In-hak and realizes that not all prosecutors live the same life just because they have the title of ‘prosecutor’. Kang In-hak was controlling everything and living a life that anyone would admire.
Eventually, Seo Yeon-joo makes a decision.
‘…What the heck?’
Soo-ah’s eyes widened, but she soon calmed down.
‘Ah, calm down, Lee Soo-ah. This is the choice the character made, not Yeon-joo unnie’s choice. Yes, it’s just a script!’
That’s because Park Si-yeon (Seo Yeon-joo) gave Kang In-hak everything, her body and loyalty. Park Si-yeon caught Kang In-hak’s eye because of her face and body, and her life was finally turned around.
Soo-ah felt bitter after reading this far.
‘I don’t feel good. She studied so hard and became a prosecutor, but she couldn’t see the light with what she studied. In the end, she got on the road to success in exchange for offering her body….’
But the following content was even more bitter.
To Seo Yeon-joo, who had been suppressing herself, power trips, deception, and fraud were so sweet.
Seo Yeon-joo began to trample on the lower ones like crazy to satisfy her desires, and Im Soo-hee (Soo-ah) took care of all the cruel aftermath.
This is the part I’m filming today. Soo-ah’s cruel cleanup.
She feels sorry for the changed Seo Yeon-joo, but she feels bitter about helping with this, but she doesn’t have the ability to stop Seo Yeon-joo, and she doesn’t betray her old friendship, so she just acts.
Even a character who dies instead of Seo Yeon-joo.
…That will be today’s Soo-ah.
◈◈◈◈◈
Soo-ah finally arrived at the filming location.
Samjitmal, here I come! Soo-ah appears!
The grade is low, but I’ll somehow save it! There’s no such thing as giving up in Soo-ah’s dictionary! Why not? There’s nothing in Soo-ah’s dictionary in the first place! Soo-ah Soo-ah fighting!
Kim Yi-seo opened her mouth at that moment as she strengthened her will.
“Soo-ah, I have to go around and say hello. Would you like to go to Yeon-joo instead? She’s not answering her phone, but she’s probably in the waiting room. Or the van.”
Soo-ah nodded vigorously.
She wanted to see Yeon-joo unnie after a long time.
.
.
.
.
.
A little later, Soo-ah tilted her head.
‘She’s not in the waiting room, though?’
It was as if she didn’t even use the waiting room at all. Yeon-joo unnie’s bag and belongings were nowhere to be found. What’s this great reasoning power? Yu-han Soo-ah told me!
After that, Soo-ah’s destination was decided.
Soo-ah walked around the parking lot.
‘The same as my van, the same as my van….’
It wasn’t difficult to find Yeon-joo’s van. All she had to do was find the same van as the one Soo-ah was riding in.
‘Ah, there it is.’
As soon as she found it and approached, she had to tilt her head again. That’s because the van door was slightly open. What is it? Did she leave the door open and go somewhere?
Creak─
Soo-ah cautiously opened the door.
“….”
After that, she froze like a stone statue.
It’s not that she couldn’t find Yeon-joo. She did find her.
“…Unnie?”
But there is no answer.
Seo Yeon-joo had collapsed.
