The genius actor who brings misfortune (496)

The place where I met Sergio was a cafe that operated on a reservation basis.

I called Jinbae’s name at the counter and went into the corner.

“I’ll order an Americano. Yeonjae, you’ll order lemonade, right?”

Sergio said without even opening the menu.

“Yeah. Something cold. You?”

“Ice, too. I’ll order and come.”

Sergio naturally headed towards the counter.

We remained silent until our drinks arrived.

“… … .”

It’s comfortable.

It was hard to believe that it had only been a few months since we last met, it felt so familiar.

After enjoying the awkward silence, he slowly opened his mouth.

“I heard you’re filming a drama these days.”

“Yeah. Did you hear that from Team Leader Woo?”

“How is it? Is it worth it?”

“hmm….”

The guy hesitated for a moment, then smiled.

“I think so. First of all, no one is crazy.”

“What happened with that guy last time? The guy who grabbed you by the collar in the bathroom.”

“Nothing happened. He pretended not to know me after that. If you had kept complaining like you said, I would have really hit you. Unfortunately, he was quiet.”

Sergio loosely raised the corners of his lips.

It was really disappointing that the speed of increase was slower than usual.

‘You must be really annoyed.’

Well, if Sergio lost his mind and rushed at me, that says it all.

In a situation where he was openly fighting with his fellow actors, grabbing him by the collar from behind was nothing special.

But Sergio was the kind of guy who would completely block even the smallest things.

If a guy like that grabs you by the collar, it means the other person is a real piece of trash.

‘They say that luck with colleagues is just as important as luck with a piece of work.’

So when I heard that he was filming a new drama this time, I was a little nervous.

I was worried that someone would be crazy like last time.

‘Thank goodness there aren’t any.’

Now I feel a lot more at ease.

“Is that why you asked me to meet you?”

“Well, that too. I have something to say as well.”

“What is it?”

Sergio slowly lifted his coffee cup.

Only after I made sure the guy took a sip did I bring up the subject.

“I met my biological mother a while ago.”

“……okay?”

“Yeah. But it wasn’t as good as I thought.”

I brought up the story I had told my family again.

Perhaps because I had been talking so much for several days, I was able to speak much more calmly and organized.

Sergio was different from Lee Eun-taek who ran wild, Noh Bi-hyeok who ripped out his hair, and Seong I-jun who hit the sandbag in his imagination.

“Ahem.”

The guy listened to my story until the end with only a mild reaction.

“It must have been very difficult. You worked hard, Yeonjae.”

“I had a really hard time. I was sick in bed for two days.”

“I see….”

Sergio nodded.

Then he quickly rolled his eyes and checked my face.

The guy’s true feelings were so obvious in that appearance that it made me laugh for no reason.

“Why do you want to tell me this story?”

“… … A little? It’s just a little surprising. That you’re telling me this.”

Sergio drank his coffee.

The cold drink that was full of ice had now become lukewarm.

“Is Noh Bi-hyeok busy this season? Did he make a comeback?”

“The comeback was made a long time ago. It’s already been two months.”

“Oh, you’re not interested at all.”

The guy who had been smiling faintly made a puzzled face.

“Then why did you call me when Noh Bi-hyeok wasn’t busy? Was it not enough to just talk to him?”

“Aren’t you assuming that he didn’t tell Bihyeok?”

“Should I do that?”

The guy shrugged.

I chuckled.

“You’re right. I already told Bihyeok.”

“I knew it.”

“But that’s wrong.”

“what?”

“It wasn’t enough to just tell him. I was already sick of it.”

The guy’s eyebrows shot up.

Then it was a gesture of asking why on earth he was saying this to himself.

I said, scratching the back of my neck.

“I don’t know. I just wanted to say something.”

“I felt like I had to tell you? Because I told you about my mother.”

“Um, well. That’s not it… I don’t know. I just wanted to say.”

“okay?”

Sergio looked at me quietly and asked.

“So are you satisfied? I think I reacted a little too poorly. If I had known this would happen, I would have done better.”

“Okay. That was just like you.”

“… …Is that a curse word?”

“How did you know?”

As I raised the corners of my lips, the guy smiled slightly along with me.

The faint murmur returned.

“Good. So we shared a secret with each other.”

“Well, I told a few more people besides Bihyeok.”

“I expected that. There are so many people around you.”

A look of disgust crossed Sergio’s face for a moment.

He’s really consistent too.

‘How can you act if you hate people so much?’

There is no other job that requires meeting so many people as an actor.

‘You must be putting up with it because the acting is that good?’

Now that I think about it, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen Sergio act.

Because the movie ‘Shin Yoo-young’ was the last.

‘That was already several years ago.’

I think it would be nice to act with him again. What would he think?

‘Ugh.’

I guess I should get up soon.

It was soon time to eat dinner.

Since I said everything I wanted to say, I thought we should meet up later and talk about the work.

“It’s a series.”

The guy who had been lost in thought for a while suddenly raised his head.

“Maybe it will get better after some time.”

“what?”

“I’m talking about meeting your mother.”

“… … .”

The guy continued speaking calmly, as if he had already organized his thoughts neatly.

“I was like that. I was really angry the year before last, and I felt empty last year. But these days… I don’t feel anything.”

“Are you tired?”

“Is that so? I don’t know. But the frequency with which I think about my mom has definitely decreased. I don’t have time to think about it because I’m practicing acting.”

“I see.”

I nodded vigorously.

At my enthusiastic response, the guy continued talking.

“But on the other hand, I wonder how long this will last. Is it because it doesn’t feel like it’s been neatly wrapped up? I feel like I’ll be thinking about it even when I’m in my 20s or 30s.”

Sergio smiled faintly, then frowned slightly.

It was a subtle frown that could only be noticed up close.

“That’s a bit annoying. It seems like it’ll keep bothering me from now on, and I can’t completely erase it… Why are you laughing?”

“ah.”

I didn’t even realize I was laughing until Sergio said it.

He raised his hand and touched the corner of his mouth.

Then I laughed even harder.

“What’s so funny, Yeonjae? Are you happy that you’re the only one laughing?”

“Oh, sorry. I wasn’t laughing. I just… I think you know why I called you.”

“huh?”

The guy tilted his head as if he didn’t understand.

But I couldn’t tell you everything that was on my mind.

‘Me too… .’

It was already a well-known fact that Sergio and I had a lot in common.

And sure enough, the guy was thinking the same thing as me.

‘That’s why I called you.’

It was a bit absurd to find out the reason for an unconscious action so late, but it was also funny.

‘It’s true that the beginning is difficult.’

It was funny to see myself leaning against someone once and now sticking my head out without much difficulty.

I swallowed my laughter with difficulty and looked at the other person.

“I thought the same thing. I’m sure it’s okay now, but I feel like I won’t forget this for a very long time.”

“Doesn’t that annoy you?”

“Of course I’m annoyed. I feel so wronged, I think I’m going crazy.”

At my words, Sergio opened his eyes wide and raised his voice.

“Right? Me too. I want to completely forget about the person called mother.”

“That’s right. But that can’t be happening.”

“That’s why it’s even more annoying. Haa, I seriously think we need human bleach.”

Sergio looked as if he was going to die.

There are so many useless people in the world, and I don’t understand why a way to erase them hasn’t been developed yet.

‘He even grumbles politely.’

In many ways, he was a very different guy from Noh Bi-hyeok.

“Well, it doesn’t matter since I won’t show it.”

Sergio let out a slow sigh.

“I’ll do it without anyone knowing. That I care about the person called mother.”

“Yeah. That’s our job anyway.”

“huh?”

“I mean, acting.”

The guy paused for a moment at my words, then smiled faintly.

“That’s right. If you want to fool everyone in the world, you have to be fully prepared.”

Then he nodded solemnly.

He looked like he was already fully prepared.

As nice as it was to see him, I had something to say to him.

“Sergio. But you don’t have to act every time.”

“What does that mean?”

“It’s okay to be annoyed sometimes. You can whine that you’re sick of being reminded of your mom, or you can swear.”

I looked around slowly.

Perhaps because it was a place where security and secrecy were maintained, the distance between tables was particularly far.

After taking a quick look around, I whispered to the guy.

“Like today. That’s okay.”

“… … .”

“Of course I know you’ll do well. I’m not worried, but I just feel a lot better after opening up to the people around me.”

So, if you ever feel that way, call me, he said softly.

“I wish there was a brain bleach like you said, but there isn’t. So there’s only one answer.”

Covering up bad memories with good memories so they don’t come out.

“After you curse like that, you can eat something delicious. You have to cover up bad memories with good ones.”

“… … .”

After saying that, he smiled brightly.

Sergio looked at me for a moment and then slowly smiled back.

“Yeonjae, you read that in a book―”

“No.”

“Isn’t that true?”

This kid is teasing me now.

“No.”

I looked at the guy narrowing his eyes and became serious.

‘Because I saw that in a movie, not a book.’

It’s not a lie, is it?

‘… … Anyway, he’s quick-witted.’

The conversation, which I thought would end quickly, went on longer than expected.

Sergio asked if we could have dinner together since we had already met, and I said okay since I didn’t really have any reason to refuse.

Since Seong I-jun happened to be nearby, the three of them got together for the first time in a long time.

“Do you want anything for dinner?”

“I like everything…!”

“I’m okay too.”

Neither of them are of much help.

After thinking about it for a while, I went to a kimbap shop on the corner of the alley.

I ordered omelet rice, Sergio ordered janchi noodles, and Seong I-jun ordered abalone porridge.

‘The taste is really different.’

I realized this last time when I was filming Shin Yoo-young’s entertainment show, but our tastes in food are very different.

However, because of the entertainment show rule that you have to eat only the dishes you cook yourself, I remembered the days when I only ate the food that Seong I-jun prepared for me.

Strangely enough, this time the food tasted just like before, even though it was prepared by a chef.

‘Is it because there are three?’

Well then, that’s really interesting.

I took a big spoonful of omelet rice and put it in my mouth.

Even though the weather was already autumn, it strangely tasted like summer.

It felt like I was back in Do Yu-young’s yard.
