The Genius Actor Who Brings Misfortune (564) [Side Story]
“Huh? No. If you look at it in person, it’s just like that.”
A low, laughter-filled voice vibrated.
“I don’t understand why everyone keeps talking about Lee Yeon-jae, Lee Yeon-jae. She’s just ordinary.”
The voice of Shin Kyo-jin, who was expressing his feelings about me, was quite cynical.
He didn’t seem to have anything in common with the man who had been giving me those sparkling eyes just a moment ago.
‘Ugh.’
I leaned back against the hallway wall and swallowed a sigh.
‘… … I missed my chance to go out.’
If you come in too late, Jinbae will be worried.
How long will that guy be like that? I hope it won’t be too long.
‘hmm.’
I thought with an indifferent face.
‘Is it because it hasn’t been that long since it first appeared?’
I thought that Shin Kyo-jin still had a long way to go before he could become a celebrity.
How could you be so careless that you could make a phone call like that in the hallway of a broadcasting station?
‘They say that even walls have ears in broadcasting stations.’
That person will also come to realize this after he gains experience and experiences a few things.
If you want to wear a mask properly, you have to start by deceiving those closest to you.
Obviously, his acting in front of the camera wasn’t bad, but seeing him let his guard down like that as soon as the camera stopped rolling, it was really bad.
‘When will the call end?’
I waited, trying to suppress my boredom.
There were negative things being said about me, but I didn’t really care.
‘It’s not particularly shocking.’
Well, I kind of expected it since the article kept mentioning me.
Even Space Injun, a typical ‘celebrity romance’, didn’t mention me to that extent.
Rather, the older brother did his best to not reveal his absence in official matters.
Didn’t you say that liking me is a matter of interest for the human Choi In-jun, not something that the celebrity Choi In-jun should show?
Of course, he said that so clearly, but when he actually met me, he didn’t know what to do and jumped up and down.
‘okay.’
I realized why I wasn’t that surprised.
I think I realized this unconsciously when I met Shingyojin earlier.
‘The look in your eyes was different.’
That was my first thought when I first encountered Shingyojin.
The way he looked at me and the way he stomped his feet were very similar to Injun’s older brother.
But, unlike Injun, Shingyojin’s eyes were too indifferent.
It was a far cry from Injun’s characteristically mad gaze.
‘… … No.’
He shook his head vigorously.
Madness, what are you thinking about someone who likes me?
Injun was shaking his head vigorously to avoid thinking about his brother.
“I love you too. Okay, I’ll call you later.”
The call from beyond the wall ended with Shin Kyo-jin.
I heard a rustling sound as if someone was putting their phone away, and then I heard footsteps walking towards me.
‘It would be embarrassing if we ran into each other here.’
Although I didn’t really want it, I couldn’t enjoy meeting Shin Kyo-jin in a situation where I ended up eavesdropping on the phone conversation.
I leisurely dodged to a corner, and Shin Kyo-jin passed by without seeing me.
Before opening the waiting room door, Shin Kyo-jin made a bright smile.
“Tch.”
Shin Kyo-jin opened the door only after double-checking that the mask was well-made.
As I was looking at that scene from behind, it suddenly occurred to me that there could be no place more contradictory than this space.

“For the successful debut of our MCs~!”
“For~!”
The sound of glasses clinking could be heard here and there.
There were some staff members with happy faces, but there were also some who looked tired here and there.
‘That makes sense.’
Because there probably aren’t many people who drink as much as the broadcasting station people.
Even I, a young adult, was getting sick of it.
It’s hard to believe that it’s not even mid-January yet, and we’ve had so many company dinners.
“Huh? Yeonjae, your glass is empty. I’ll pour some for you.”
“Oh, I’m not very good at drinking. I’m sorry.”
“Hey, just have one more drink. That’s okay.”
“Instead, I’ll pour you a delicious drink.”
I smiled politely and accepted the bottle.
The staff looked very disappointed, but they didn’t openly nag me.
‘I guess that can’t be helped.’
The staff member who glanced behind me quickly emptied his glass and quickly moved to another seat.
I muttered quietly, lowering my voice.
“Brother Jinbae, please relax your expression. People are all running away.”
It was something I said to Jinbae hyung who was behind me.
Jinbae, who had been standing behind me with a sinister expression since the dinner started, opened his mouth.
“This is my job.”
“What is it? It scares people?”
“It’s about forcing the actor to not drink alcohol.”
Oh, me.
I told him that I could handle that much on my own, but Jinbae hyung didn’t seem to listen.
“Actor, eat this. It’s well cooked.”
“You eat first, hyung.”
Even though I declined several times, Jinbae stubbornly placed the meat on my plate.
If I continued to refuse, he seemed ready to take it in and put it in my mouth.
It was at that time that I had no choice but to munch up the meat that Jinbae had grilled for me.
“excuse me….”
Because of Jinbae hyung, our table was virtually empty.
Shin Kyo-jin, holding a half-empty bottle of alcohol, leaned over next to me.
“Actor, can I sit next to you?”
The face that was mentioned above looked very natural.
I looked at his face as if he was desperately trying to talk to me, then nodded.
“Of course. And let’s talk comfortably. We’re all the same age anyway.”
“Oh my, how could I do that! You’re an actor, and… Senior Bihyeok is also much more senior than me.”
Shingyojin looked around with his eyes wide open.
Noh Bi-hyeok read the mood and quickly ran to our table.
“Lee Yeon-jae is right. Let’s all three of us talk comfortably. We have to be together for the next year.”
“… … Is that really okay?”
“Yeah. Oh my, I know we’re the same age, but it’s weird that you keep using formal language. Are you going to start using informal language from now on?”
Noh Bi-hyeok smiled with a kind face.
Shingyojin nodded his head, creaking as if embarrassed.

‘oh.’
He’s really good at acting.
‘Do you have any thoughts of becoming an actor?’
I swallowed the words I couldn’t say and looked at Noh Bi-hyeok.
“Bihyeok, have you eaten some meat?”
“No. I came here to eat meat anyway. Oh, I’m dying. Now that I’m an adult, you keep giving me alcohol, I’m going crazy.”
“Please drink it and be careful. You drink it too easily.”
“Hey, you go over there. It’s easy to leave a drink behind.”
Noh Bi-hyeok picked out the meat from my bowl and ate it with a tired look on his face.
I looked at the chopsticks with pity, which looked a bit desperate. Ugh.
“Eat mushrooms, too. Eat lettuce, too.”
“Uh, uh.”
I made some ssam and gave it to the guy.
Then, Noh Bi-hyeok quickly stuffed the food into his mouth. Ugh. I’m going to vomit like that.
“Eat slowly.”
“ok.”
I was just patting the guy on the back.
Shin Kyo-jin, who had been staring at the two of us, muttered loudly enough that one had to concentrate to hear.
“… … If someone saw you, they’d think you two were dating. Ugh, it’s dirty.”
“Huh? What did you say?”
“Ah, it seems like those two are really close. Haha.”
Shin Kyo-jin quickly changed his expression to Noh Bi-hyeok’s question and smiled.
“You two look really good together.”
“Really? Thanks. Hey, you have some too.”
Noh Bi-hyeok, who was too busy eating meat to notice, just let it go, but I heard it clearly.
‘hmm.’
I quietly looked at Shin Kyo-jin, who was smiling brightly.
What the heck is he… .
‘What’s the problem?’
I couldn’t understand it at all.
Did someone tell you to be friendly with me?
Why are you acting like this when you were the one who came first and started whining about wanting to get to know me?
‘Oh, that’s annoying.’
Shin Kyo-jin pouring alcohol into Noh Bi-hyeok’s glass was extremely annoying.
‘If you keep doing that, you’re going to have a big accident.’
Actually, I didn’t care whether Shin Kyo-jin talked bad about me behind my back or not.
He’s not spreading rumors, he’s just badmouthing me, so what do I gain by interfering?
I could ignore the fact that Shin Kyo-jin approached me pretending to be Bi-yeon without thinking much about it.
‘You just have to keep the line.’
Just like Sergio did back in the day.
But, to secretly whine like I did just now and pretend that the other person misheard me was crossing the line.
Sergio also clashed with Noh Bi-hyeok several times, but he never did anything so petty.
‘The answer is not to deal with those kinds of people.’
The problem is that I have to be with him once a week for a year.
‘under….’
I felt like things were off from day one.
‘Let’s calm down.’
I tried hard to control my facial expression.
Since news about the guy and MC has already been reported, it would be best if they spend a year without clashing with each other.
‘A year will pass quickly anyway.’
If he had any thoughts, he wouldn’t have gone any further than that.
Whatever he muttered to himself, I could have just ignored it.
‘There’s nothing I can do right now anyway.’
After organizing my thoughts neatly, I picked up a glass of water.
The staff continued to offer glasses to Noh Bi-hyeok, who had already drunk more than two bottles of soju.
Unlike Jinbae, Bihyeok’s manager did nothing to stop him.
Because of that, I had to join in.
“Bihyeok, I think you should stop drinking now. Drink water.”
“Why? Mr. Bihyeok looks fine.”
In response to the question, “What are you doing, me?” I lied without any hesitation.
“He was like that and then he suddenly passed out. When you get drunk, you vomit everywhere. Oh my, who’s going to clean that up?”
“aha….”
The staff only left the guy alone after hearing what I said.
Noh Bi-hyeok seemed to be upset that he had suddenly become a troublemaker, but he didn’t correct me, perhaps because he didn’t want to drink more.
He snatched the glass from the guy’s hand and gave him a glass of water.
“Drink quickly.”
“huh.”
Noh Bi-hyeok nodded with an unusually gentle face today, wondering if it was a bad thing to be taken care of by someone.
Just as I was happily looking at that sight, I heard the voice again.
“Huh, I can tell exactly who’s playing the female role.”
It was a very small voice, almost as if it could be heard just like before.
I chewed on Shin Kyo-jin’s words lightly, thinking about washing my ears.
But if there is a clear difference from before… .
“… … Hey, Lee Yeon-jae. Do you want to go over there?”
This time, it wasn’t just me who heard it.
Noh Bi-hyeok froze for a few seconds and then looked at me awkwardly.
I looked at the guy who was trying hard to look calm and asked.
“Why? Where are you going?”
“Just. I feel like I’ve been sitting here for too long. Well… maybe it would be better to move.”
“I like it here. You go alone.”
“… …Should we just go together?”
Noh Bi-hyeok’s expression slightly frowned.
I could see the guy trying to say something with his eyes, but I answered calmly.
“It’s okay. Oh, I’m looking for you over there. Go quickly.”
I lightly tapped the guy on the back.
Noh Bi-hyeok made a face as if something was bothering him, but since he had already said his words, he stood up from his seat in a daze.
I looked at Noh Bi-hyeok walking away and muttered softly.
“You’ve been chattering so loudly all this time. You’re such a quiet kid…”
“… … What did you just say?”
Shin Kyo-jin, who had been dazed for a moment, asked back in a dazed tone.
Rather than being offended by what I said, he seemed confused as to whether what he had just heard was true or not.
I smiled at the sight.
“I didn’t say anything?”
“… … .”
Shin Kyo-jin smiled, but I didn’t care.
Anyway, I’m the only one here who’s really learning.
