Episode 185. The joys and sorrows of office workers (1)

“Mr. Young-Hwan, can you give me all the latest news on ZA? Even if it’s the fact that the chairman’s wife changed her Ferrari from yellow to red. Anything.”

“all right.”

After leaving the ZA research to Do Young-hwan, Seongu-an checked the monitor again. The graph was trending upward.

‘Until Team Leader Ji checked, there was nothing that could clearly be a defect.’

Since Ji Sung-in acknowledged him, the two of them have been getting along well and have been on a roll. The incentive they received recently was also thanks to their collaboration.

But now.

Not only was it not enough to design a product that he and his intellectuals had worked together to design, but a red light was discovered in a product that My Asset Management was trying to push hard and start operating in earnest.

To others, ZA’s graph might have appeared red, but to a keen eye, the graph was clearly black.

The names of companies whose stock prices will rise are in red.

The names of companies whose stock prices will fall are in blue.

And, the graph is black… … .

“… … Trading will be halted.”

“yes?”

“ZA Company, you might become a piece of waste paper. It’s a funding issue!”

… … means delisting.

‘Mr. Ha Seo-myeong, you act really well.’

I try not to judge others, but I am impressed by Ha Seo-myeong’s acting.

The expression of embarrassment when falling in love, the expression of embarrassment when discovering a mistake, and the expression of embarrassment when facing a big problem are all different. Those who have experienced it just thought that it is different.

‘Come to think of it, Choi Je-ho and Kang Ki-yeon also used facial expressions very well.’

All I can think of are ‘a smile overflowing with joy before leaving work’ or ‘a smile filled with happiness after receiving a paycheck,’ but these guys’ smiles had a wider spectrum than that.

Was the mission given to appear on ‘In My Office’ to study this kind of thing and improve my dance skills? Since I don’t know the system’s intentions, I can only think about it here and there.

‘I think that acting steeped in mannerisms is done by squeezing one’s soul into it.’

Actually, I’ve never been criticized for having awkward facial expressions. It may be because people don’t expect much of me, but at least I don’t look bad on screen.

If that means my front cover is doing well, I need to find a way to go further.

For example, I diligently watch my seniors’ acting to find the parts I lack, or pay more attention to chemistry with other people…

“Mr. Lee Wol, could you please throw this away?”

… … or trying to please your senior well.

To Jang Jun-hoo, UA was his front yard. That’s why Jang Jun-hoo’s behavior was simple.

As long as the family didn’t find out, that was Jang Jun-hoo’s mindset.

On the other hand, Gu Ja-han tends to justify his actions.

A person who believes that this is a filming set, that the main workers on the filming set are actors, and that the set should work for the actors.

It was in a similar vein to needlessly picking a fight with cast members or staff members who were not born actors.

Although this is his first leading role, he seems to be proud of the fact that he has been acting for over 10 years since becoming an adult.

‘Those who are muddying the sacred filming set are trying to keep order themselves.’

Ha Seo-myeong, a former idol, was cast as the counterpart of Gu Ja-han. Although their starting points were different, the two men’s careers were only a few years apart.

Even though Gu Ja-han expressed his discomfort without any filter, Ha Seo-myeong did not respond. It seems that the ‘ranking order’ that Gu Ja-han wanted was not achieved.

That kind of person needs to have someone under their feet to feel secure. To show off.

‘Watch this kid. If you do something wrong, you might end up being treated like this kid.’ That was Gu Ja-han’s goal.

I got caught up in that pecking order. How great is that? Even though I’m an active idol and only have a few lines, my senior from the same idol group takes care of me, so my screen time keeps increasing, and the directors say I’m cute.

“Mr. Lee Wol, work hard. There are more than a few kids who risked their lives to get to this place.”

“I really… … I think we need to stop idols from crossing over to acting. The quality of the work is going down. Can’t you feel that when you’re giving your lines, Mr. Lee Wol?”

Whenever we happened to be waiting together, Gu Ja-han would whisper to me incessantly. If someone saw me, they would mistake me for being very close to him.

Since Gu Ja-han calls me a nerd so often, I don’t think anyone would misunderstand that.

But don’t you understand the topic to say something like that? Ha Seo-myeong is a better actor than you.

If you really want to pursue a part-time job, you can make a flashy debut as an idol yourself.

Because he was annoying me so much, I just pretended to listen, so Gu Ja-han started giving me chores.

It was something like, ‘Which – by the way, I had nothing in my hand – while you’re at it, throw mine away too,’ or, ‘If you’re going to the waiting room, could you bring my bag too?’

There was one time when he got caught by Ha Seo-myeong and they had a huge fight. It was the day that Gu Ja-han had to confess to Ha Seo-myeong, saying, “Yes, I care about Seon Gu-an. Is that okay?!” I can’t tell you how worried I was that the filming that day would be ruined.

So, I am grateful and sorry to Mr. Ha Seo-myeong, but I am trying to listen to Gu Ja-han’s nonsense as discreetly as possible so as not to cause any harm to the production company or Mr. Ha Seo-myeong.

It was the same for Gu Ja-han. He must have decided that there was nothing good to come from messing with the lead actor, Ha Seo-myeong, so now he only teases me when Ha Seo-myeong is filming.

“Mr. Lee Wol, that’s the coffee I told you to throw away. Did you throw it away already?”

“Yes, I just dropped it off.”

“Oh, you already threw it away?”

Gu Ja-han frowned as if he was embarrassed.

You told me to hurry up and throw it away, X. You’re making me mad. UA has been living a very peaceful life since peace came.

“Come to think of it, it seems like I put my own personal cup holder in that cup.”

After saying this, Gu Ja-han closed his mouth. Silence flowed.

It was obvious what Gu Ja-han wanted to say.

“Is it important?”

“Yeah, I got it from a fan. I definitely have to find it.”

What you received from your fans, I mean.

I thought I would never have to dig through trash cans again after leaving Hanpyeong Industry. I was arrogant.

“I’ll look for it, senior!”

I answered with a bright smile.

Where can you find a workplace without old farts? Everyone lives like this.

* * *

It may be different for each filming location, but in ‘In My Office’, a large plastic bag is used as a trash can.

Even though they say they separate their waste, the amount of waste produced by dozens of people is always enormous.

And I’m looking inside that trash bag for the disposable takeout cup that Gu Ja-han is supposedly using. What the f*ck.

If there had been something like a special cup holder in the first place, there’s no way I would have missed it and just thrown it away. You must have just been talking nonsense to make me do something stupid.

Nevertheless, there is only one reason why I have to do this.

Because you shouldn’t swear at the group name in someone else’s workplace.

Unfortunately, the actions of one celebrity can soon become the actions of all celebrities. If I open up to Gu Ja-han, the entertainment news tomorrow will have a story titled, ‘Idols’ rebellion that has gone too far, affecting the acting world beyond their main profession… ‘ I understand because I’ve been on the news a lot without intending to.

‘I can’t just send him off in the middle like some people do since he has to be aired safely until episode 12 to gain proficiency.’

My hands and feet were busy trying to re-do the messy recycling while I was fumbling around.

System, I’m a good moral person, so why don’t you give me something? Even though my pants are soaked with coffee, you’re not annoyed and are diligently picking out a paper cup holder.

But the system didn’t show up. DogXX. DogXXXX.

Instead, something other than the system came out.

“Mr. Lee Wol, you still haven’t found it?”

This is the human being who created Gu Ja-han.

Why? You’re offering a reward if you find it, you punk?

“Yes, senior, I don’t see anything special.”

“Oh, then I guess I was mistaken.”

However, Gu Ja-han did not say a word of apology or regret.

I really wonder, what on earth do these types of people gain from doing this?

Just the pleasure of tormenting others? Isn’t that something you should have graduated from in elementary school?

I had a lot on my mind, but I had to live in society. I tried to smile as brightly as possible and answered.

“I’m glad you didn’t lose anything important.”

Perhaps it had the opposite effect, but Gu Ja-han’s expression actually got worse.

“I guess Mr. Lee Wol doesn’t have any self-respect or anything like that?”

“yes?”

“Is it because I’m an idol? Is it because I have to control my facial expressions? How is it because I can’t even show that I don’t like something?”

What does that have to do with idols? Do you think there are only a few people who have to hide their displeasure while working?

There are probably about 50 million people in Korea alone who have the sorrow of having to hide their true feelings. If you want to cause trouble, at least find an excuse.

‘You’re really good at talking nonsense.’ I tried sending telepathic messages, but they didn’t reach Gu Ja-han. Gu Ja-han’s mouth was babbling incessantly.

“No matter what you’re told, you’re always squirming, and when someone calls you, you follow them around. You poke around here and there like you’re desperate to be praised, and you touch anything. Do you think that’s what you’re good at, Mr. Lee Wol?”

= Even in difficult situations, you laugh and laugh, get along well with others, and stand up for everything. It’s such a thorn in my side!

… … Isn’t that what you’re saying? That’s what it sounds like to my ears. If you’re going to mess it up, you should bring a cable tie and tie up the LAN cable.

I told the Spark guys that it’s a sin for idols not to smile, so I have no intention of not taking care of my facial expressions. Not going when called is just a sign of lack of social skills.

I silently took my foot out of the trash bag.

Gu Ja-han, who was watching me, said.

“I’m going to flip over in front of the director soon. My dog ​​is just like that.”

Gu Ja-han, who had long ago crossed the line between colleagues doing the same work, now stepped on the line between humans.

“Do you know Mr. Lee Wol? He might drop a few more lines.”

So, I really don’t know.

What do you hope to gain by insulting others in such a low-level way?
