The Genius Actor Who Brings Misfortune (566) [Side Story]
“What the heck… is all this?”

It was a word that came out of my mouth without me knowing it as soon as I entered.

I heard the employee answering, but I was too busy moving my eyes to hear it properly.

This space was originally used as a conference room.

This means that originally there was only a desk, a chair, and a laptop.

That place is now….

‘Joseon Dynasty?’

It was decorated with props that seemed to have been borrowed from the studio.

A softly glowing lantern hung from the ceiling, with a red curtain blocking the view.

The paintings that filled one wall were old-fashioned, and the furniture placed in front of them was all delicate.

Among them, the most eye-catching thing was the chair.

No, that’s not a chair, it’s more like… .

“What do you think? Do you like it?”

As I was dazed, the employee asked with a proud face.

It seemed like there was no lie in the statement that he had been preparing extremely hard for a week.

I slowly opened my mouth, looking at the busy employee.

“… … Is today’s concept king?”

The chairs were not usually wooden.

The chair, with its luxurious gold decorations on the handles, looked like it came straight out of a drama.

The problem is that I think I saw it in a scene where the king was discussing the situation in front of his subjects.

This is more like a chair… .

‘The word throne doesn’t fit.’

As expected, the employee nodded with an excited look on his face.

“That’s right! Your concept today is king.”

“Why all of a sudden―”

“Wait a minute, listen till the end! He’s not just any king. He’s a king who became king through legitimate and legal means! A king who wasn’t swapped with another child when he was young! A king who’s safe from the power struggle because there’s no other crown prince!”

… …Why are the settings so specific?

‘her.’

I looked around again while listening to the staff’s explanation.

A space that looks like something out of a drama is unfolding in our company’s conference room.

Even though I was seeing it with my own eyes, I couldn’t believe it and just let out a laugh.

“Change into this. Yeonjae.”

“Oh, thank you….”

I flinched without realizing it as I received the clothes the employee handed me.

The red clothes that looked luxurious at first glance were… gonryongpo.

“Sir, I’m starting to get scared.”

“Hehe, change your clothes quickly.”

Unlike my pale face, the employee’s eyes were filled with madness.

I barely managed to control my expression as I changed my clothes, but I was surprised at how soft they felt against my skin.

‘It’s not mass-produced.’

It was a dragon symbol that seemed like it would be used in a drama with a lot of production costs.

How much money did you spend?

If someone saw us, they would think we were filming a real drama.

‘Of course I really appreciate your concern, but… .’

I felt slightly embarrassed at the thought of wearing a royal robe and sitting on a throne and turning on the live broadcast just because it was my birthday.

“Oh my, it suits you so well!”

As I came out after changing clothes, cheers erupted from the employees’ mouths.

“It’s the king, it’s the king.”

“Yeonjae, do you want to try using Ikseon-gwan too? Just write it on top.”

under.

‘My ears feel like they’re burning.’

I tried to ignore the heat that was tingling down my neck and put on the hat the employee handed me.

As soon as I put on the gold-decorated belt, applause poured out as if it had been waiting for it.

“Oh my god. Our series is the best.”

“He is a saint. I can already see it. Our king is the best.”

“… … Please stop teasing me.”

“Poohaha!”

The laughter grew louder as he covered his blushing face with his hand.

Everyone is serious about teasing me.

‘too bad.’

He pouts and asks why I suddenly went with this concept.

To be honest, I didn’t expect much of an answer when I asked.

Even so, I guess he’ll just say, ‘I thought it would suit me well.’

But the answer I got back was unexpected.

“You haven’t done a historical drama since “The Butterfly Riding the Zelkova Tree”. Your next project is also far from a historical drama. I prepared it because I thought the fans would like it.”

“That’s right. I don’t know about you, but there have been many people who have expressed regret since long ago. There were also many who said they wished he had played the role of a king instead of a crown prince.”

“is it so?”

I had no idea.

‘It wasn’t just because I wanted to tease you.’

Well, who would put so much effort into decorating something just to make fun of it?

I stared quietly at the small props placed on one side of the room.

I felt the sincerity in the small details that would pass by if I didn’t look closely.

‘… … I’m really lucky.’

I slowly opened my mouth, feeling both touched and grateful that there were people around me who cared so much about me.

“Thank you all so much… I will definitely repay this favor.”

I spoke in a somewhat serious tone.

“Poohaha!”

What came back to me was a thunderous laughter.

“Hey, when you dress and talk like that, I feel like I’m really going to pay you back!”

“What is this, magpie that repays favors?”

“Wow~. Today is so great. You weren’t able to be with us on Yeonjae’s birthday because you had a fan meeting.”

“So. How about we order some food and have a party after the broadcast ends?”

The employees laughed and chatted.

Although the team was originally harmonious, the atmosphere was even brighter today.

‘That’s amazing.’

How can that be?

It’s not easy to go to work on the weekend just to celebrate a company celebrity’s birthday.

Instead of saying let’s finish up quickly and go home, you’re saying let’s have a party?

I am so grateful. I guess everyone cares about me that much… .

‘No, wait.’

I looked closely at the bright expressions on the employees’ faces.

‘what?’

It wasn’t just good. It was unusually bright.

Feeling something strange, I poked Jinbae hyung next to me.

“Brother, is there something I don’t know?”

“yes?”

“Tell me everything you’re hiding. I’m sure you know.”

Jinbae smiled as if to ask what I was talking about.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * Baca Novel Korean * *

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *

‘Oh my.’

Where are you going to get a laugh from?

“Speak quickly, quickly.”

“Actor, violence is bad.”

“You’re not going to say anything even if I do this? Really?”

As I continued to poke Jinbae’s side, he wrinkled his nose.

“Actor, it tickles.”

“Then tell me quickly. If you don’t tell me, I’ll put my hand inside those clothes.”

“Ha, I see.”

My brother, who had been supporting my hair for a long time, finally raised both hands.

Jinbae hesitated for a moment, then whispered softly enough for only me to hear.

“They decided to give the employees who came to work today a special bonus three times higher than their original pay. They also decided to give them a day of annual leave.”

“What? Did you get permission from the CEO?”

“The representative suggested it first.”

“her….”

No, then what?

The reason you had such a bright expression was because of money, right?

‘too bad.’

I was trembling with a sense of betrayal.

‘… … I thought you were bright because you were with me.’

When I pout, Jinbae hyung patted my back.

“That shows how much the CEO cares for the actor.”

“Yes, yes. And they are all thoroughly following capitalism. Really.”

“Are you upset?”

“… … .”

I tried to deny it but ended up denying it.

Ha, I see.

‘Why am I upset?’

It was a good thing that employees were fairly compensated for their work.

It’s a good thing because I was going to tell you separately if the representative hadn’t taken care of it.

‘But why do I feel like this?’

I thought that if I had that level of benefit, I would have gone to work on the weekends too.

Then the excitement subsided a little.

Yes, it is natural to get paid for your work.

It was a regular thing to celebrate the birthdays of ‘celebrities affiliated with the company’.

‘That’s natural.’

What should I do? I think I really have celebrity disease.

It’s the employees’ job to celebrate birthdays, so what did you think?

I was starting to feel ashamed because I felt like I was giving it useless meaning.

“The actor’s facial expressions are amazing.”

“What kind of expression am I making?”

A gentle hand touched my shoulder.

“Well, that’s the look on your face when you make your first friend, and then you find out that your parents hired you?”

“… … I want to deny it, but I can’t.”

This person’s speaking skills are getting better and better.

When I laughed out loud, Jinbae laughed along.

“I can understand what you’re thinking, but wouldn’t the employees be upset if they knew? The employees started decorating the room like this before the CEO brought up the topic of pay. And… .”

Jinbae’s long finger lightly tapped my nose.

“For the past few years, you’ve been celebrating the birthdays of each of your staff members. You all came here to repay that.”

“What I gave you was nothing special. I just gave you something you always wanted.”

“What’s important about the gift? It’s the heart that matters. Here’s the question.”

Gentle eyes met mine.

“When you gave them gifts, what was your intention? Was it to make them work harder for me?”

“Huh? How could that be?”

You think I’m a psychopath, what the heck?

When I frowned, Jinbae smiled faintly.

“That’s right. It’s not that I gave it to you because you’re an ‘employee.’ I took care of you because you’re the people next to the actor. It’s the same for them.”

“… … Excuse me, what are you trying to say? I don’t understand.”

“haha.”

Jinbae looked down at me with smiling eyes.

It was a gaze like that of a child who had just learned to walk.

“Just as I don’t like actors because I’m their manager, the employees don’t like actors because of their work.”

“I know that. I know that….”

“No. I don’t think so. Do you think that if they quit, their affection for you will disappear right away?”

“… … .”

I shut my mouth at the words that hit the nail on the head.

Jinbae smiled faintly as if he had known this would happen.

“You were like that before too. When I quit, you treated me like I was someone you’d never see again.”

“Did I do that?”

“Yes. That’s what the actor said at the time. He thought that my affection for the actor was all because he was his manager.”

How is it? Is it still like that?

I quickly shook my head at the subtle remark.

Then, a voice followed, patting me on the back as if I had done well.

“Actors tend to find reasons for their affection towards others. They themselves give affection without any reason. Don’t be anxious, actor.”

“Did I look anxious?”

“The more people you like, the more anxious you become. You can’t help but feel anxious that the other person doesn’t care about you as much as you think they’re special.”

I see

I nodded my head, my mind now understanding.

I made my official debut when I was 13, so it’s already been 7 years since I started working with the staff.

We saw each other almost every day for 7 years and I became attached to him.

It made me feel bad that those people could think of me as just another ‘celebrity’.

‘I’m so sorry for being treated like this.’

I turned my head once more and looked around the carefully decorated room.

How happy I am to be able to receive congratulations from someone just because it’s my birthday.

“Our series! Are we ready to broadcast??”

Just then, an employee came into the room.

A headband with the words ‘Baekrok’s Birthday’ written on it hung above her head.

Looking at that bright and cheerful face, I couldn’t help but smile.

“… … Yes. I’m ready.”

People I like, people who like me.

I don’t know how to draw that line, or how to tell if someone really likes me.

At this point, all we know for sure is….

‘I’m happy.’

The only thing I am happy about is that.

“The broadcast will start in 3 seconds. One, two, three!”

“Hello! I’m actress Lee Yeon-jae!”

January 15th, the day I turned 20 and became an adult.

I spent my birthday buried among the people I love.
