The genius actor who brings misfortune (492)

“Thank you for coming.”

“… …Are you okay?”

As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Team Leader Woo.

Fatigue was plastered all over his face, as if he hadn’t slept a wink.

“You should be worrying about yourself instead of me.”

“I’m fine―.”

“Let’s go to the conference room first. I told you about the lobby.”

“Please listen until the end.”

“Okay. It’s obvious what you’re going to say. Let’s go quickly. No one will know you’re here.”

I followed Team Leader Woo’s instructions and entered the company.

Team Leader Woo walked briskly to the conference room and opened the door wide, making me flinch for a moment.

“uh….”

“What are you doing? Come in quickly.”

There was no one inside.

‘I was surprised.’

When I cautiously asked where the person was, I was told that he was in an office on another floor.

“Why? Did I look like someone you would just greet without thinking?”

“No. That’s not it….”

When I smiled awkwardly, Team Leader Woo patted my head and told me not to worry.

He was a person whose only physical contact was the touching of fingers when passing documents.

It felt a bit strange for such a gentleman to openly stroke my head.

“Did you bring what I told you on the phone earlier?”

“Oh, yes. Here it is.”

I gave Team Leader Woo a ziplock bag containing a toothbrush and a few strands of my hair.

“Is there anything else you need?”

“This will be enough.”

“How long does it take to get the results?”

“They said it would take a day or two, but I requested it urgently. It should be done in about 4 hours.”

4 hours.

‘So I have to stay here the whole time.’

It wasn’t too bad.

I also needed time to prepare myself mentally because I was preoccupied with other thoughts on the plane.

Team Leader Woo, who went out holding a ziplock bag, returned empty-handed 30 minutes later.

“I got the package. They said they’re going in for testing now, so all you have to do is wait. They’ll tell you the results over the phone.”

“Thank you. Sorry for the inconvenience.”

“It’s something I was supposed to do.”

Team Leader Woo’s characteristically cynical voice sounded particularly weak today.

I felt strangely awkward because the difference that I would have been happy about in normal times seemed to make me realize ‘what kind of situation I’m in.’

Ugh.

‘I’m frustrated.’

The conference room wasn’t that small, but I felt strangely out of breath.

‘Is it because of Jinbae hyung?’

Well, my brother is quite big.

What would you have done if you hadn’t been a manager? A bodyguard? A soldier?

‘He’s tall, so he could be a basketball player.’

He’s a basketball player. He suits you better than I thought.

If my brother had played basketball, he would have definitely become a professional player.

‘And I’m your brother’s manager.’

Oh, good. This is it.

‘It’s perfect.’

I muttered to myself like that.

“… … .”

“… … .”

Team Leader Woo and Jinbae had been sitting in silence since a while ago.

I was shaking my legs and wiggling my fingers.

Perhaps because I was feeling anxious for some reason, it was difficult to maintain silence.

“how is it?”

In the end, I was the first to speak.

“uh?”

“That’s him. Does he look like me? In appearance and atmosphere.”

Team Leader Woo hesitated for a moment, then shrugged his shoulders.

“I don’t know about the atmosphere, but the eyes were the same.”

“… … .”

“At first, I was going to just ignore him because he was such a crazy person, but after seeing his face, I let him in.”

Team Leader Woo’s speech was light and dry.

At least it seemed like he was trying to say that.

I didn’t want to make the other person’s efforts in vain, so I continued talking as if nothing had happened.

“Did you also tell me why you came?”

“Yeah. He asked me to help him. He said he tried to solve it on his own, but it just wouldn’t work.”

“Aha, you came here because you need money?”

“It would be better if it were that way. I can handle it within my capabilities.”

Team Leader Woo frowned harshly.

“The woman who claimed to be your biological mother said so. She said your biological father is up to something these days. She’s been borrowing money from here and there, using your name. She said he’s running some kind of business.”

“yes?”

“No matter how much I tried to stop her, she wouldn’t listen, so she said she came out at dawn without telling her husband. Please stop her so she doesn’t hurt you.”

“… … Are you two living together?”

“huh?”

“That woman. She lives with her husband… So, she lives with my biological father… .”

“…?”

Team Leader Woo made a face that said he didn’t understand.

But I was speechless and couldn’t say anything.

‘I see.’

My head suddenly became dizzy.

‘Why me… .’

Why would I think my biological mother would live alone?

‘Is my memory faulty?’

No, my biological father ran away a long time ago.

My biological mother raised me on her own, suffering for several years.

It’s true that my childhood memories are vague, but I vividly remember the day my biological mother left me at the park.

At that time, there was no man next to my biological mother and me.

“―Jae-ya? Yeon-jae-ya!”

“ah.”

It was only after hearing Team Leader Woo’s words that I came to my senses.

I quickly frowned without realizing it.

“are you okay?”

“Yes. It’s okay. I’m okay.”

He gently raised the corners of his lips.

‘What does it matter?’

If my memory is faulty, or if the two met again after that, nothing would change in any case.

‘My family is here.’

Anyway, I already have a family by my side. So it’s okay.

He stretched his hands out to the side.

Without saying anything, Jinbae grabbed my hand.

“… … .”

Why is it like this?

‘It should be okay.’

The big hands were warm as always.

Strangely, despite that warm affection, my mood did not get any better.

The moment I realized that my mood was sinking, I felt my heart drop to the floor.

‘no.’

Hey, this isn’t right. Are you crazy?

‘My family is here, what do I care?’

You crazy kid, come to your senses.

‘You shouldn’t do that.’

A tidal wave of disgust and loathing toward myself came over me.

An indescribable, trembling feeling engulfed me.

“Brother, can you let go of my hand for a moment?”

“Yes, of course.”

“My hands are sweaty, sweaty.”

I desperately lowered my eyes for fear of making eye contact with Jinbae hyung.

I was terribly afraid that my brother might figure out what I was thinking.

-jing.

Just then I heard my cell phone vibrating.

“I guess the test results came out.”

Team leader Woo went out to answer the phone.

‘Four hours passed quickly.’

I quickly made a bland expression.

Whatever Team Leader Woo says from now on, it has nothing to do with me.

I braced myself so that I wouldn’t show any reaction.

That’s why when Team Leader Woo opened the door and came in and told me the test results, ‘There’s a 99.98% chance that it matches,’ I could just quietly nod my head.

Oh, that’s right. That’s right.

That’s what it was.

***

The word bloodline has quite a lot of power in Korean society.

No matter what the circumstances, as long as it is certain that they are my children, anything they do becomes my responsibility.

‘This needs to be resolved quickly.’

I quickly rolled my head.

I started saying the words I had been thinking of, one after another, just in case.

“Team Leader, I hope this story doesn’t get out to the press.”

“Yeah. I know.”

There were many plausible excuses, such as the loss of the actor’s image and the public’s fatigue.

Fortunately, Team Leader Woo was in the same position as me.

“We’re going to have to get everyone involved in this case to shut down. The only one who’s going to get caught is the biological father, but if we push through with the law, we won’t be at a disadvantage.”

“The problem is media play.”

“Right. I have to shut my biological father’s mouth somehow before the reporters ask about it.”

Wow, my head hurts already.

It was a moment when I held my temples with a subtle headache.

Team Leader Woo cut off the conversation, saying, “Let’s stop here.”

“yes?”

“From now on, it’s my job to handle things. You’re not an adult, so why do you keep pretending to be one? You’re confusing me too.”

Team leader Woo waved his hand.

“Leave the legal and financial issues to the adults and do your own thing. Maybe practice acting or meet the kids.”

“still….”

“I told you this is my job. This is why I take a commission from your earnings.”

Jinbae hyung also got involved.

“That’s right, actor. From now on, leave it to us.”

“What are you doing with the youngest member of the best law firm in the country by your side? Don’t worry about useless things. He’ll commit another corruption to keep your name out of the public eye.”

“Don’t say that to my brother.”

When I frowned, Team Leader Woo snickered.

“Oh my, you’re protecting me like you’re my brother.”

Jinbae smiled proudly at those words, and his trembling heart felt better.

‘that’s right.’

Jinbae hyung is next to me.

I kept chewing on that sentence.

“Then go home and rest now. You both worked hard.”

“Yes? Just go?”

“Then are you going to at least say hello before you go?”

“that is….”

“What kind of good relationship are you talking about? You came to me to ask me to stop my husband. I will stop him. So you don’t have to meet me.”

“That’s true.”

“Why? Do you want to say hello?”

I couldn’t say anything.

Inside, there was a fierce battle between the thoughts of ‘Shouldn’t I do that?’ and ‘I don’t want to do that.’

“Yeonjae, go quickly.”

“… … .”

Team leader Woo patted my shoulder.

“I already told Jeong-Hyeon. He should be home by now. Go and eat something delicious.”

“Okay, actor. Let’s go home.”

I came to my senses suddenly at the sound of Jinbae hyung’s gentle voice.

“No. I’ll go after seeing your face.”

“Are you okay?”

“Yes. If you know my face, you can avoid me later or not.”

And what’s not okay?

‘My family is here.’

I can’t do that. I can’t do that to my family.

‘Let’s go and solve this neatly.’

Avoiding or pretending not to know the past because it already happened won’t solve anything.

I realized this a long time ago when I met Lee Eun-taek.

Going now is to completely shake off the past.

‘okay.’

Thinking like that gave me courage.

‘Go and tell them that my family is somewhere else.’

So, whatever you do, just tell me honestly and face me.

It would be difficult to apologize since I can’t talk about the unfortunate factor.

But there are no perfect perpetrators or perfect victims, no matter what. Let’s not get too deep into it.

‘I’m just going to say that and come.’

It was uncomfortable to feel any emotions towards them, like resentment or guilt.

I just wanted to replace all my emotions with ‘nothing’.

I thought it might be possible to declare it by looking at the face.

“I’m really okay.”

“… … .”

I smiled confidently.

Team Leader Woo hesitated as if he had something to say, but then nodded.

“Okay, he’s on the 17th floor. Let’s go when you’re ready.”

“I want to go right now.”

His expression relaxed as he rode the elevator.

Ah, eh, this, oh, woo.

‘This is the best part about being an actor.’

I felt confident that I had the perfect expression on my face without having to look in the mirror.

Jinbae Hyung glanced at my face and then patted me on the back.

-dripping.

After Team Leader Woo knocked, I followed him in.

“You’ve been waiting a long time.”

I couldn’t see it right away because of Team Leader Woo’s back.

As someone got up from the chair, long hair came into view.

Then my eyes met with black eyes, and I… .

‘and.’

I lowered my head without realizing it.

‘It won’t work.’

Oh my, what should I do? What should I do?

‘This won’t do… .’

My fingertips were shaking so much that I quickly clenched my fist.

It was a moment when I took a step back against my will.

The woman’s old shoes spoke to her.

“How have you been?”
