The Novelist Who Leapt Through Time Episode 178

Baek Seung-won, the CEO of Baekhak Entertainment, is a bit picky, neurotic, suspicious, and a workaholic, so he neglects his family, but he is good to his celebrities.

But sometimes it’s scary when you look at it from the side.

You will know the reason when you see it.

– So you did everything the PD asked? Are you crazy? Have you heard Satan?

– No?! Who is this? Isn’t it Kim Byeol, the space star who won the Best Actress award at the Cannes Film Festival?!

I wonder if he has some kind of bipolar disorder when he catches his employees like they’re catching rats but then suddenly becomes irritable.

One of President Baek Seung-won’s habit of saying things is ‘the mainstay of the company.’

This is the comment I give when praising you for being the mainstay of our company…

The number of his ‘main beams’ was quite high.

Looking at the fact that Benibis Min Hyo-min (S) is also a mainstay, and Rapid Boys Min Hyo-chan (C) is also a mainstay, we can see that the scope of ‘mainstay’ that CEO Baek Seung-won thinks is very PC.

Anyone can become a mainstay!

Kim Byeol was able to get a glimpse of President Baek Seung-won’s management philosophy through this speaking habit.

To him, a ‘celebrity’ is not an artist, but a pillar that firmly supports the company, in other words, an ‘asset.’

If you think about it that way, it explains a lot of things.

While other entertainment company presidents, as senior artists, criticize their juniors and teach them about the spirit of hunger, Baek Seung-won is trying to manage ‘human resources’ with three inches of his tongue.

The convenience facilities provided by the company are also evidence of this. Since they are slaves who have to work hard to earn money, feed them well, clothe them well, and only say nice things to them…

This is truly a terrifying management strategy.

In any case, as President Baek Seung-won aims for a big government, not a small government, Baekhak Entertainment often exercised an active stewardship code even in matters of private life.

It means holding on like a rat.

Baekhak Entertainment gave a lot to celebrities and received a lot in return.

This was mainly due to privacy issues. The inconvenience that celebrities who left Baekhak Entertainment spoke with one voice was that the company was involved in too many things.

However, since Baek Crane’s style of private life, which even takes care of celebrities’ secret relationships, was recognized as an industry standard to some extent, it could be said that President Baek Seung-won’s man power management ability had reached the peak.

However, Kim Byeol is the ‘Queen of Cannes’.

No one can stand in the king’s way.

EP 11-All kinds

Line 1, the Demon Cave of Hell, teeming with dark underworld merchants, heretic inquisitors, crippled Kosers, and short-lived killers.

In today’s Line 1, a ‘female student who keeps clearing her throat and looking around suspiciously’ was added.

This is Kim Byul.

“Hmm… !”

Accompanying the manager when going out, no exposure to social media, no use of public transportation, signing autographs only at official autograph sessions, no taking pictures on the street, etc…

‘Queen of Cannes’ Kim Byul said fuck all the company guidelines and came out alone. Naturally, winter queens tend to be a bit irresponsible.

Just like Mr. El Mo of Arendelle, who abandoned his kingdom and ran away because he had sold some ink at the banquet hall, Kim Byul also ran out of the office and went on an adventure to rescue a friend who was stuck in a corner of a room.

However, since Kim Byeol was still a senior in high school, she had to use public transportation without a manager, but fortunately, thanks to irresponsible mankind’s efforts to destroy the Earth, even though it was March, the midwinter-like cold weather continued.

That means that no one would look suspicious even if Kim Byeol wore a mask, scarf, fur hat, earmuffs, and long padding. Because everyone did it to survive.

In addition, veteran actor Kim Byul made the bold decision to give up ‘sunglasses’, which is the biggest mistake made by ‘celebrities hidden among ordinary people’.

Instead, Kim Byul wore ‘blank horn-rimmed glasses’ that sealed her beauty.

The long corona season and the development of cosmetic techniques have led to the mass production of magicians. Thanks to a world full of eye-catching beauties, even beauties like Kim Byeol can secretly cosplay as ordinary people. How comfortable is this world?

“Hehehe… ”

Kim Byeol comfortably rode the subway and train, thinking that she would be beaten if she said that out loud.

Everyone looked suspicious at the female student sitting still and laughing ‘huhu’, but since it was the season when you could easily find students going crazy because of college admissions, everyone ignored it.

In this way, Kim Byeol safely arrived at the address she had (forcibly) received from Lim Yang-wook.

Although it was close to the downtown area, the neighborhood was somewhat gloomy. The sun set early so it was dark outside, and…

“hmm… ”

To be honest, it didn’t seem like a wealthy neighborhood. Why on earth did the writer find a house in a place like this? You must have a lot of money…

As Kim Byeol was entering the apartment complex, she even had to receive an uneasy look from a passerby.

If he were a writer, his gaze would have made him think, ‘Ugh…’ You’re a young man, right? dirty… ‘ I could have read the same thoughts and gone home and cried while writing.

This is because, since ancient times, youth rental housing is a disgusting facility comparable to industrial waste landfills and sewage treatment plants.

In human civilization, the culture of pushing the poor into a corner and pointing fingers has never disappeared. The Jews who entered the ghetto prove this.

Fortunately, Kim Byul did not realize that he had just been treated like a medieval (or 1930s) Jew and naturally entered the apartment complex.

Then, I passed through a hallway with peeling paint here and there, took an elevator that was shaking uneasily, and arrived in front of the house written on the piece of paper.

“Room 303… Am I right?”

Knock. Knock.

Kim Byeol knocked on the door.

There was no answer so I rang the bell.

Ding-dong-

Only then did a rustling sound come from inside, and a familiar voice leaked through the crack in the door.

“Leave it… ”

Kim Byeol, who recognized the owner of this sullen voice, smiled softly and answered.

“It’s not a delivery service?”

This time, a crashing sound was heard from inside.

There was an appearance of him hurriedly organizing something, and then the writer, looking startled, opened the door and appeared, wearing that damn blanket.

“What, what? How on earth… ”

But Kim Byeol was also surprised.

An overly honest sentiment came out inadvertently due to excessive astonishment.

“Oh my god, why does it look like that?”

“… … ”

The writer I met again was half ruined.

* * *

“It’s shabby, but… Please eat.”

“Uh, uhm… ”

Even with empty words, Kim Byeol couldn’t help but joke, ‘It’s so shabby.’ It was really shabby kimchi fried rice.

However, even this shabby-looking kimchi fried rice could not match the shabby appearance of a writer, so it made one wonder where the appearance that Kim Byeol had created in the past by running around Baekhak Entertainment’s skin care clinic had disappeared.

Kim Byeol glanced at the writer while eating the shabby kimchi fried rice (which was surprisingly delicious).

‘Uhm… ‘

The condition was serious.

His hair was so long that it was hard to tell when it was cut and was covering his eyes, his dark circles were as dark as those of a panda, and above all, his human aura beyond his appearance was swarthy and gloomy.

Fortunately, the efforts of Byeol Kim and the skin care professionals at Baekhak Entertainment were not in vain, as there were no signs of acne or pimples even though she was in puberty.

And judging by the soft smell of shampoo, it seemed like he was washing it at the right time.

“okay… At least wash it well… ”

“what?”

“Yes. “Oh, it’s nothing.”

As Kim Byeol was about to finish eating the shabby kimchi fried rice, she quietly spoke to the writer while observing his gaze.

“that… How have you been?”

“… … ”

“I haven’t had a good time… ”

An awkward silence followed.

While Kim Byeol was sweating. Moon-in swooned and stood up and placed Kim Byeol’s shabby bowl of kimchi fried rice in the sink.

And then he came back and said.

“Now go back.”

“What?!”

“Or, well, is there anything else you want to say?”

Kim Byul was embarrassed and threw her hands in the air.

“Well, well, what, are you good at writing these days?”

“I don’t use it.”

“What-?!”

Writers don’t write? It was a story that surprised the sky, surprised the earth, and surprised Kim Byul.

As Kim Byeol was shocked and could not continue speaking, the writer waved his hand as if chasing away a sparrow that had flown into a rice field.

“Now go back. And Manager Lim. No, please tell Director Lim that I have no intention of writing for the time being.”

“… !”

Kim Byeol’s harsh attitude…

I got a fever for the first time in a while.

okay. This guy was originally such a cheap guy.

Anyway, this guy is not worth worrying about!

“hey! A senior who was like the sky came to visit me and said, “Is this what you’re going to do?!” really! me! “The entertainment industry’s duties have fallen to the ground?”

The writer answered briefly.

“I’m not sick.”

“Then why are you stuck in a corner of the house? Are you saying you don’t even go to school? Of course, our school is a bit spacious, but they say it’s a privilege or abuse of power, and they get criticized on the Internet. Anyway, I have a junior who takes a lot of effort, so I… ”

Just as Kim Byeol’s nagging was about to continue, the writer came up with an answer to the question, ‘Why are you stuck in a corner of the house?’

“There is no need for you to know.”

“what… “What?!”

“Just go back now.”

“… … ”

After saying it so clearly, my desire to worry about Kim Byeol disappeared completely.

Kim Byeol erased all of her playful attitude from just now and looked at her with a straight face that made anyone who saw it feel the creeps.

“… … okay. okay.”

“… … ”

“I’ll go. “Eat well.”

After confirming that the writer nodded, Kim Byeol packed her bag and outerwear and went out.

And while I was putting on my shoes at the entrance, making a rough noise on purpose, I clicked my tongue quietly.

‘Sweet, I can’t catch it until the end… ‘

In fact, Kim Byeol’s facial expression was not sincere but a kind of technique. Kim Byeol can regain control by giving a straight face when her mother and manager cross the line. Of course, it is a special move that should not be used often.

However, seeing that even the special move didn’t work, Kim Byeol was really a little upset. So I decided to go back today.

‘Ji says I don’t need to worry, so what should I do?’

Kim Byeol kept repeating this to herself as she opened the door to the writer’s cold studio and walked out.

The March cold came in through the cracks in the door and made me shiver.

However, the last view I saw before going outside and closing the door made me forget about the cold.

No matter how cold it is outside,

No heating, no furniture,

It couldn’t be colder than the empty living space of the writer.

“… … ”

And looking at that, you can’t help but worry.

* * *

Kim Byeol has few friends.

In fact, she had many friends, but after Kim Byeol became an old friend, she had time to think again about the category of ‘friend’.

In that sense, a person who sticks in when things are going well and leaves when things are going poorly is not a friend. In the same context, a person who is friendly on the outside but jealous on the inside is not a friend.

Friends are pure!

It was a thought that only someone without friends would do. So Kim Byeol has really, really few friends.

In any case, for Kim Byeol, who began her social life as a preschooler, friends are as precious as they are rare.

So, actually, I was very sad when I left the Popular Culture and Arts Research Club alone.

Moonin, Gu Yu-na, Min Hyo-chan… Even though I became friends with the same club members, I guess I ended up being dropped into Baekhak Arts High School instead of Baekhak Arts Middle School because I was too old.

So around that time, I was very lonely, and since my friends didn’t text or call me regularly, I had a history of sulking and then solving it on my own.

Kim Byeol didn’t just grab the writer and run him around Baekhak Entertainment’s convenience facilities…

In any case, for Kim Byeol, who had no friends, the time when the four members of the popular culture and art research club gathered again felt special.

Isn’t it possible for four people who met in middle school to come together again in high school over time?

So Kim Byeol created a club with the bizarre name of ‘Popular Culture and Arts Research Club’ at Baekhak Arts High School.

It is easier for a Cannes Best Actress Award actor to bribe a theater and film department teacher than to lie down and eat rice cake.

Kim Byeol has maintained a one-person club for a long time, breaking school rules. Although Min Hyo-chan came a year earlier, the Popular Culture and Arts Research Club was still Kim Byeol’s one-person club. Well, if Kim Byeol and Min Hyo-chan join in club activities, isn’t it obvious what kind of rumors will spread around the school? And Kim Byeol already knows that Min Hyo-chan’s first love is her…

“Friend’s building is a bit old and shady.”

“shut up!”

Anyway, Kim Byeol, who values ​​her friends this much, has been waiting for this year for two years.

The day Moonin and Gu Yuna enter Baekhak Arts High School, in other words, the day the Popular Culture and Arts Research Club is re-founded!

Such a special day was completely ruined because that damn literary guy locked himself in a corner of the house, and the sense of helplessness and disappointment Kim Byeol felt was indescribable.

So I complained to Gu Yuna.

“Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for this day?”

“yes.”

“What do you know! “Something that looks like rice cake!”

Kim Byeol squeezed Gu Yuna’s cheeks and scolded her. And he caught Gu Yuna’s fiercely flying small magic attack with his strength.

Kim Byeol, who was relieving her stress by arguing with Gu Yuna, ended up lying down on the cafe table and whining.

“Ugh… This is why novelists are not allowed. I become needlessly sensitive… ”

Gu Yuna said, ‘I think your sister is more sensitive,’ but Kim Byeol lightly ignored this valid point and continued.

“Why doesn’t that bastard who is a writer come out of his corner of the house? “Has puberty hit you hard?”

Kim Byeol muttered, “I don’t know,” and soothed her complicated feelings with a cold iced Americano.

At that time, Gu Yuna answered Kim Byeol’s question.

“I confessed, but the writer rejected it.”

Puheap –

A ‘dramatic’ production came out of Kim Byeol’s mouth.

It was truly professional.
