The genius actor who brings misfortune (491)

“Just a moment, Team Leader. Calm down first.”

Jinbae, who was flustered, cut off Team Leader Woo’s words.

Although I couldn’t hear what Jinbae was saying because he had turned the volume down, I could clearly feel that the other person was extremely excited.

‘What could possibly make Team Leader Woo so excited?’

What happened to the company? Did you get fired?

‘… … That can’t be true.’

Even if that were true, Team Leader Woo wasn’t the kind of person to get excited over something like that.

Rather, he was the type of person who would call his competitors right away and ask if they had any openings.

“What’s going on?”

When I asked quietly in a low voice, Jinbae pointed to the balcony with an embarrassed face.

“I’ll make a quick phone call.”

I just wanted to do it here, but my brother’s expression looked too serious.

I nodded and sat quietly on the sofa and waited.

And then about 5 minutes passed.

-Click.

The balcony opened weakly, and Jinbae came back, stumbling.

“Brother, are you okay?”

“… … .”

Jinbae, who sat down on the sofa with a blank expression on his face, opened his mouth after a long time.

“Sir, I think we need to move up our flight time.”

“Yes? Why?”

“I’ll tell you the details when I get to Korea. Tomorrow afternoon is too late, so I’ll check in the morning, or rather, tonight to see if there are any flights left.”

“That quickly?”

“I have to get to Korea as soon as possible. First of all, are you hungry, actor? What should I have for dinner?”

The other person smiled with the corners of their mouth raised.

But unlike his calm expression, his voice was slightly trembling.

“Brother, why are you like that―”

“I’ll go to Korea and tell you, actor.”

It felt strange to see him cut me off so abruptly.

‘What could it be?’

I looked at my brother with a frown and asked.

“Is anyone hurt?”

“yes?”

“My family. Like Hyung Jeong-hyeon. Or someone from his family…”

“No. No one was hurt. That’s not what happened.”

I was relieved to see him immediately shake his head.

“Really? Then it’s okay.”

“… … .”

“That’s right. If something happens, you just have to resolve it.”

Gentle eyes looked at me.

Jinbae took a few deep breaths and nodded slowly.

“That’s right. I can solve it. I’ll solve it.”

“Let’s do it together. Why are you trying to do it alone?”

He patted her broad back and asked what was wrong.

“that is….”

“Quickly.”

He urged Jinbae, who was hesitant to answer.

“To solve this, I need to know what happened. It’s related to me, right?”

“Yes. It’s about the actor. But it’s… difficult to tell you. I don’t know the details anyway. Team Leader Woo also told me to come to Korea first.”

“Then please tell me what you know.”

“… … .”

“Brother, I’m already anxious enough. I think it would be better if I knew what was going on.”

Jinbae hyung washed his face dry after my repeated persuasion.

After a while, a very tired voice stuttered out.

“That’s right, someone came to the company.”

“Who is it?”

“The person who claims to be the actor’s biological mother.”

“… … .”

ah.

‘So that’s why you didn’t want to tell me.’

As soon as I realized the situation, I shut my eyes tightly.

‘shit.’

In an instant, my complicated feelings swallowed my hunger.

It was evening and all, and I just felt like lying down in bed.

‘under.’

What kind of life is this full of twists and turns?

Even if I do it, isn’t it too much?

The words “all sorts of things” came up to the tip of my tongue.

‘As expected, what adults say is never wrong.’

I should have just gone to Korea and heard it.

“I see. Thanks for letting me know.”

“Are you okay? No, of course you’re not okay. I’m sorry. I was thoughtless.”

I snickered as I watched him apologize in surprise at his own words. He was cute.

“No, I’m fine.”

“… … Really?”

“Maybe?”

He scratched the back of his neck.

“It doesn’t feel real. Right now… Only women are here?”

“I heard that. I think I need to go to Korea and check it out properly.”

“I see. Then I really need to find a way to get to Korea quickly.”

“Okay. I’ll look into the plane.”

Jinbae hyung suddenly got up and hurriedly brought his laptop.

‘It takes 12 hours just to get there.’

Even if we leave right now, it will take at least a day considering the processing time.

‘Are there any flights left tonight?’

Ha, what a bolt from the blue.

I was dumbfounded by the unexpected event.

It doesn’t matter if it feels weird or not.

‘……wait for a sec.’

I remembered that before coming to the US, Eun-taek Lee suddenly brought up the subject of his biological parents.

That was already two months ago.

‘What did you know?’

I was about to call Lee Eun-taek right away, but I realized it was still dawn in Korea, so I held back.

“Actor, I have a flight at 1 a.m. I’ll book this.”

“… … .”

“Actor?”

Ugh, I don’t know.

After swallowing the sigh that was coming, I opened my mouth.

“Hey, can you send a message to Lily?”

“Lily? Are you talking about the singer Lily Sweetie?”

“Yes. Lily asked me to contact her if I ever needed a charter flight.”

Jinbae stopped for a moment and then said, “Okay.”

‘I’m so cunning, too.’

When I first heard about the charter flight, I flatly refused, saying I didn’t need it.

Because the situation was so urgent, I couldn’t worry about being embarrassed or anything.

‘I owe Lily.’

Being in debt means having to pay it back.

There’s only one way to repay my debt to pop star Lily, who has hundreds of millions more money than me.

‘Collaborative work.’

It was a question that came up again and again every time I contacted her.

‘I can’t put it off any longer.’

Every time I was asked a question, I would have a hard time changing the subject, but now it seems like I can’t even avoid it.

Fortunately or unfortunately, Lily lent me her plane without asking any further questions.

―(We will soon be arriving at Incheon International Airport. All passengers, please fasten your seat belts.)

I was just about to fasten my seat belt when the announcement came.

A large hand grabbed my hand.

“Actor.”

“yes?”

“Are you really nervous? It’ll be okay. I’ll be by your side.”

“…?”

Brother Jinbae had a very serious face.

For a moment, I was blankly wondering why this person was like this, and then I suddenly realized something.

Oh, right.

‘I told you my real mother came.’

As I thought deeply about collaborating with Lily, I forgot the reason why I was going to Korea.

‘Me too… .’

It was so absurd that I couldn’t help but laugh.

No matter how I forget, I can’t forget this.

“Brother, I’m okay.”

“Yes, sir, you will be fine.”

Jinbae nodded with a serious face. No, I’m serious.

‘How should I explain this?’

Of course, it would be a lie to say that nothing happened.

It was definitely a far cry from the longing or emotional feelings of meeting one’s biological mother after more than ten years.

Rather, it was full of vague questions.

‘Why did you come here only now?’

I had been thinking about that secretly.

If my biological father or biological mother was going to come to me, they would have come a long time ago.

I don’t know if he was looking for me to extort money from me or if he wanted to be my family again, but I was sure of that.

That’s why when Lee Eun-taek suddenly brought up the subject of his biological parents, he was able to respond as if it were someone else’s business.

‘It’s already been over 5 years since I debuted.’

I debuted in the drama ‘Butterfly Flower Riding the Zelkova Tree’ when I was in the 6th grade of elementary school.

Now I was a sophomore in high school.

‘Even if you don’t use the internet, it’s a bit… like that.’

It’s very suspicious that I got a call now.

‘Is she really my biological mother?’

As soon as I get there, I have to get a genetic test first.

We’re doing it in utmost secrecy so that word can’t get out to the press.

‘Even if I get diarrhea, nothing will change.’

Nothing changes.

I am Lee Yeon-jae, who entered an orphanage when I was 6 years old.

Lee Yeon-jae joined Wooyeon Entertainment through actress Lee Jung-hyun’s scouting.

Lee Yeon-jae lives in the same house as Jin-bae and Jeong-hyeon, and encounters fog every day when she falls asleep.

That Yeonjae Lee has no need to wonder or care about her biological parents.

‘Nothing changes.’

My family is here anyway.

Yeah, nothing changes.

***

When I arrived in Korea, it was already a bright sunny afternoon.

After completing my immigration without anyone knowing, I immediately got into the car prepared by the company.

Even as I was running to work, it still didn’t feel real.

-hello?

It was the same when I heard a strange voice over the phone.

– Baby? Is that you?

“Yeah. That’s me.”

-Why are you contacting me? Did you accidentally contact Noh Bi-hyeok?

As soon as Lee Eun-taek finished speaking, another voice was heard from the side.

-Huh? Is that Lee Yeon-jae? Why is she contacting you?

-What’s it to you?

-You mentioned my name first, hyung. But is it really Lee Yeon-jae? Please change it for me.

-You’re on the phone with me. Oh, wait!

-Ah, I see. You’re pretending to be on the phone right now. Why is he calling you? He would have called me.

I called because I thought it would be okay at that time, but it seemed like you were with Noh Bi-hyeok.

I burst out laughing at the distracting sound coming from the other end of the phone.

“Have you two finished talking? Can I talk?”

-No, wait a minute. I have to go to my room.

-Is this really Lee Yeon-jae??

-Ah, get out of here!

Finally, silence came with the sound of the door slamming shut.

The faint sigh I heard was incredibly funny.

– Okay. I’m alone now. What’s wrong?

“I called to ask you something.”

– Well then, that’s right. You’re not the type of person who would call me for no reason.

He replied with a chuckle at that.

“Why? Are you upset? I’ll call you more often from now on.”

―… …What’s wrong with you?

“uh?”

-What’s wrong? Is it serious?

The other person’s voice suddenly became serious.

-Why is your voice like that? Are you crying?

“Me? No?”

Wasn’t that a voice that would make anyone laugh when they heard it?

I stopped talking, wondering if he was joking, but he continued to speak in a tone that seemed genuinely concerned.

-Then why are you laughing so strangely?

“What am I? What are you saying by smiling now?”

-No, that’s not it… .

The other person continued speaking hesitantly.

-You’re acting like you’re acting. You’re not even filming.

I bit my lip for a moment.

And only after I made eye contact with Jinbae hyung’s worried face through the rearview mirror did I realize that the corners of my mouth were trembling.

– Baby?

“……brother.”

-Yeah. What is it? Tell me.

“Is there a reason you asked about my biological parents before going to America?”

-What? Why are you suddenly bringing that up?

“Just tell me.”

Eun-taek Lee looked puzzled by my urging and replied that he hadn’t thought much about it.

I just took this opportunity to ask something I’ve wanted to ask for years.

-Why are you bringing that up out of nowhere? Did you really get a call?

“… … .”

I hesitated for a moment and then answered.

“Yeah. He’s at work. I’m on my way to meet him now.”

-Just wait. I’ll go too.

“What? Why is your brother here?”

-I don’t know. I’ll just stay by your side.

The sound of someone hastily changing clothes could be heard over the phone.

Then, as if I had hit something, I heard an “Ouch!” sound and I laughed without realizing it.

This time it was real laughter.

“What are you coming for? Don’t come. You have a schedule.”

-No. Just say you’re sick.

“What a great example. So responsible. Awesome, bro.”

– Didn’t I tell you not to play with Noh Bi-hyeok? Your sarcasm is getting better and better.

“Okay, I’ll call you when I’m done, so just bear with it. And this is confidential, so don’t say anything.”

I barely managed to stop Eun-taek and hung up the phone.

When I raised my head with a big smile, I saw the company outside the window.

“Actor.”

“… … Yes. I’m ready.”

I swallowed hard.

‘are you okay.’

It’ll be okay. I’m fine.

I took a deep breath and opened the car door.
