The King of Death Smoke Episode 221

The Hope (9)

Like many middle school students, Katie Miller had a hankering for the spotlight.

I’ve also felt envious of friends of a similar age posting choreography of their favorite groups on social media and receiving compliments.

But, in reality, when people were crowding around in front of us, everyone’s mind would go blank.

“A river?”

“no way.”

“That’s stupid. Why would an actor like that be walking around the streets?”

“But I guess that’s why they said that because the makeup quality is good?”

There was a commotion all around.

People were constantly crowding along the not-so-wide road.

And then, after really confirming Kangmin, they all opened their eyes wide as if they were going to tear apart.

‘What is this, what is this…?’

Katie’s hair turned white.

Father Miller also looked obviously embarrassed.

Even Penelope, who was far away, couldn’t understand what the hell was going on.

Kang Min-man, the mastermind, simply asked calmly without showing any sign of rushing.

“Is there a movie that you two have both seen and found impressive?”

“Uh, um…?”

“A movie that left an impression on you. Or a TV show or a play. It would be nice if you could remember the lines.”

“No, I don’t know! I don’t like that kind of thing!”

“Hmm, well, there has to be something.”

“no…!”

The two women tried to find a way out somehow.

But it couldn’t be easy in a situation already swarming with people.

Even Miller’s unnecessarily high-quality Richard I costume further aggravated the misunderstanding.

“Isn’t that guy the one who was saying ‘hahahaha’ all morning? He was so sincere.”

“Is this a surprise event?”

“I don’t know if it’s because of the quality….”

“Then from the beginning…?”

‘No!!!’

Mr. Miller would rather jump up and down.

Now I was even afraid to look at my daughter’s expression.

Meanwhile, the people who kept coming in soon formed a huge crescent moon shape. Those in front looked like they were going to rush in at any moment.

And in that situation, Kang Min shrugged his shoulders again.

“What about the work?”

I wanted to bring out or . But Katie didn’t have the guts to do that with the crowd around her and even Kangmin himself.

She panicked and blurted out everything she could think of.

“Baby, it’s The Three Little Pigs!”

“?”

“Katie…?”

Oops─

Katie quickly tried to pick it up.

Since there was nothing that he and his father watched together, he even brought up a children’s musical from when he was seven.

But the other person wouldn’t let her take back what she had to say.

Kang Min smiled brightly and said his lines.

[This is good, I’m hungry.]

[First, I need to pick up the RPG-7 and eat the pig that lacks firepower!]

… ?

* * *

The cyborg wolf, a former special forces soldier, managed to blow away Daddy Pig’s Abrams tank house with his snort, but his daughter’s space battleship house was not so easy to penetrate and began to struggle.

Kang Min complemented this groundbreaking story with truly artistic reactions.

“Just say whatever line comes to mind. I’ll take it.”

“What is that… No, what on earth do you want to do?!”

“Look at all the people gathered here. You can’t not do it now, right?”

“… … .”

The acting of the woman who was suddenly put into a crazy situation was naturally not very good.

Mr. Miller’s lines were stammered and his daughter’s lines were mumbled.

Sometimes he would blurt out his words or drop the anti-tank rocket prop he was holding.

But Kang Min accepted even that and used it as material.

[You’re finally exhausted, Richard! The world of Napoleon and the pigs who distorted Mr. Benjamin’s will is already over! Now we will be the masters of the world!]

‘What the hell is this story… .’

‘Have you turned around…?’

The reaction of the audience who were blinking their eyes while thinking like that did not last long.

The audience was instantly captivated by the heartbreaking story of Captain Wolf, a hero who had blood on his hands as a young man, Richard Pig, and who turned into a cyborg avenger out of resentment.

In particular, the sight of the captain crying desperately while pretending to tear apart the interceptor aircraft with his bare hands drew an outburst of moving applause.

Only Director Penelope, who had avoided the commotion by getting buried in the crowd beforehand, was dumbfounded.

‘No, why on earth are you using those great abilities here! What on earth do you want to do!’

Penelope had spent a considerable amount of money on today’s public opinion work. But what was more unpleasant than the complete destruction of the plan was Kang Min’s attitude itself.

If it was going to be like this in the first place, why were you so rude until now?

‘You told me to just go back and leave…’

I didn’t really expect you to know, but isn’t that too much? Penelope couldn’t help but grumble inwardly.

‘what.’

What on earth are you doing that for?

The answer is starting to appear soon.

[Ahem, that’s right! I killed the wolf clan! So what! I was acquitted! As long as the principle of double jeopardy exists, no one can judge me!]

[Richard…!!]

As the panic subsided, Mr. Miller began to feel the mood.

For an ordinary person, his acting was surprisingly good.

And as things turned out that way, the awkward gap between me and my daughter began to slowly narrow.

[I even threw away my name to get revenge on you! That’s what Wolf means!]

[what.]

[Hahaha, look! My daughter is laughing at me too!]

[Uh… Dad?]

[My daughter is the law, Wolf!]

[Hey you─!!]

anger.

Regret.

battle.

And, regret.

The impromptu drama of about ten minutes ended with Captain Wolf failing to fulfill his grudge and being hit by the planetary purification cannon, becoming a missing person in space.

The neat ending and the composition with Season 2 in mind were met with thunderous applause.

“awesome!”

“Captain Wolf is a man!”

“Wow!”

“No, why is this funny…?”

“I know….”

“But who are those two in the first place?”

As the excitement of the satisfied crowd died down, Kang Min asked for understanding and asked people to wait for the event scheduled for the 4th day for autographs and photos.

When even the bodyguards that Penelope had brought showed up, the crowd dispersed with disappointment.

Kang Min returned and apologized politely.

“It was a good performance. I apologize if you felt offended by my reckless behavior.”

“Oh, no! What are you talking about? Thanks to you, I have some happy memories.”

The polite Mr. Miller waved his hand and bowed even further.

In , I thought this was the Korean etiquette, so I followed it, and fortunately, it didn’t seem to be wrong.

Mr. Miller nodded and asked quietly.

“Ahem, but why us? No, what were you planning to do if the atmosphere got messed up in the first place?”

“You have some acting experience, don’t you? I thought you could do it somehow.”

“No, how do you do that…?”

“Dad, you were acting?!”

The daughter turned her head in surprise. Mr. Miller waved his hand and made an excuse that he had briefly joined a drama club with a friend in high school.

“Ahem, originally I wanted to be in a rock band, but that didn’t work out. But then I heard that the guys in the theater were doing a rock-related play. I thought I could play guitar, so I joined.”

“okay….”

“I didn’t learn it properly. The stage was a mess.”

well,

On the other hand, the fact that her father was in a rock band didn’t really resonate with Katie. Her father, who was a hardware store owner, seemed to know nothing about such things.

The daughter bowed her head, remembering how much her father loved the Velvet Underground album when she was given it as a gift.

I felt upset every day that people didn’t understand me.

But how much did he understand his father?

“If you don’t talk, you won’t know anything.”

Kangmin smiled brightly.

“Mr. Jack Miller, even a total stranger like me could tell that your daughter wanted to play with her father. Miss Katie Miller, even a total stranger like me could tell what your father thought of you. When it comes to family, a single conversation is all it takes.”

“… … .”

“Isn’t it a bit strange for a woman to walk so awkwardly because she couldn’t say that one word? No matter how much you convey affection, it doesn’t become poison.”

Penelope blinked.

Mr. Miller and Katie looked at each other.

Katie bowed her head and Mr. Miller raised his head.

“…thank you.”

Mr. Miller politely shook my hand.

“I personally consider myself a fan of yours, but today I received such a great favor. I don’t know how to repay you.”

“It’s nothing special. Just tell your daughter that you love her every night from now on.”

“Ahem, I’ll try.”

The two women walked back together after receiving a photo taken by someone of the time of .

Unlike just a short while ago, they looked like father and daughter to anyone who saw them.

Penelope, who was watching Kangmin stretching, approached him.

“… Oh, I’m sorry to the director too. I acted out of turn.”

“Okay. And the title.”

Silence fell.

The two actors watched the woman moving away for a while.

“This is a good story, though.”

Kangmin said.

“When did you first decide to become an actor?”

“Your grandmother used to praise you. She said you could do it, when you were six. And the title.”

“I was similar. I think it was when I was seven years old at the school play? They were so cool, they were all excited, saying I would become an actor later. Of course, my parents weren’t great actors, and they probably would have said the same thing if I just walked around.”

“… I don’t think it’s particularly different.”

“Thank you.”

“… … .”

“Did Grandma see Penny become an actress and then leave?”

“no.”

“That’s right. I don’t know why everyone is like that.”

Kang Min grumbled quietly.

Mr. Miller was walking along, talking to his daughter. His father made a joke, and his daughter slapped him on the shoulder. Then, they walked closer together.

The man standing next to me looked at it calmly.

Penelope apologized without realizing it.

“…sorry.”

“What are you talking about?”

“Just this and that.”

Maybe I’ve become a little arrogant─

Penelope suddenly thought about that.

It was the same with me being secretly annoyed just a moment ago, and it was the same with me plotting something on my own today.

Even if there is something that Kang Min has not overcome yet, it is not right to intervene like this. Isn’t it such an obvious fact?

Maybe this Comic-Con thing was just him bragging about what he could do.

How arrogant that would be.

Penelope sighed softly.

“…Shall we go back?”

“Why do you give in to all your stubbornness?”

“You’re the one who never gives in.”

“If you think so, then so be it. In your world, sir.”

“Title!”

Penelope grumbled and picked up her phone.

And he sent a message to the melody that was hiding behind it.

-I’ll cancel all plans for the next 3 days.

-Uh… Yes?

-I’ve changed my mind. I think I don’t have to do this kind of prank.

-uh….

-I’ll take responsibility for the damage. Cancel everything.

I feel relieved.

That’s right. There was no need to go this far.

No matter how heavy the trust, what is important is always─

-That, that’s it… .

-What? I told you to cancel it.

-That’s it… .

Penelope’s mood worsened as she lost the chance to finish the narration on a good note.

The 11-year-old Champpa Seon-yool hesitated for a while before making a phone call.

And he confessed in a voice as quiet as a mosquito’s chirp.

-That, in fact… I thought the story about the father and daughter was too graphic, so I edited it a bit and uploaded it… ? The response to actor Kang right now is huge… .

“Don’t you have a human heart?!”
