Rockstar Again - Chapter 167
Only Noblemtl
Episode 167. Inspiration is filled with many things (6)
In the car back to the recording studio.
I unfolded the small note I was holding in my hand.
[Let’s have a meal. Drinks are even better. 010―XXXX―XXXX.]
As I was staring blankly at it, I heard Suchan hyung’s voice.
“Is that what Im Yi-seo gave you earlier? Are these your contact details?”
When I raised my head, my eyes met Suchan’s through the rearview mirror.
This guy… … is a pretty good manager.
At the reading scene earlier, they didn’t even ask why.
It’s not like he was indifferent to me, it was Im-seo who secretly gave it to me as she passed by.
I wonder how they caught this again.
“… … How did you know that?”
Suchan smiled brightly at my words.
“Why didn’t I know? It was just you and me, so I focused all my attention on you. And then Im-i-seo started shooting lasers out of her eyes. Didn’t you know?”
“……I don’t know.”
“Yeah. I don’t know. That’s your charm.”
“What are you talking about? I don’t know anything. I know everything. I’m so smart. You know what? Before I time-slipped, I was scheduled to enter a Korean university.”
“I know. I know, but you still don’t know.”
“What are you saying… … .”
I grumbled softly and checked the note again.
When I turn over the paper with the comment and contact information, I see a few letters.
Perhaps someone had torn a corner of the script and written a note on it.
“Are we going to meet?”
Suchan frowned at his brother’s words.
“Why me.”
“Huh? Aren’t you going to meet her? Isn’t she pretty? She’s really pretty too.”
“It’s not the time to meet women.”
“… … ? You’ve always wanted to be in a relationship, right?”
I wanted to be in love.
But… … I can’t just go to a funeral home and set up a blind date.
The point is that time and place are important for everything.
In a similar situation as before, would a woman have caught my eye?
I feel like my stomach is going to turn inside out.
And it’s frustrating.
I just took it without knowing what was going on because he suddenly handed it to me while my head was spinning and I was out of my mind.
Is Im Yi-seo pretty or ugly?
I don’t have a clear idea of what it looks like.
Only that woman… … is bothering me.
I leaned against the back of the seat.
I felt so weak that I couldn’t even feel any strength in my body. I don’t know if it was just because I was too nervous, but my condition was definitely a mess.
As I was quietly looking out the car window, I heard a phone ringing from somewhere.
―Tonight, I will run 361.2 million kilometers to get to you… … .
“Hyung, did you change your ringtone to ? Are you trying to show off that you’re my manager?”
Suchan tilted his head slightly while driving.
“Dong-ha, is that what I hear from you?”
“me?”
I sat up, staggering, and looked around me.
Oh, that’s so?
In fact, even if I don’t listen closely, I can clearly hear the sound coming from my side.
I basically tend to leave it on vibrate.
The bell sound doesn’t really change from the default bell sound.
So, of course, I thought it wasn’t coming from me.
It could also be because I didn’t have any strength in my body and just let it flow.
Anyway, I was fumbling around in my arms because the bell kept coming out from my body, not just near me.
A cell phone comes out of the young jacket.
“It’s not mine. It’s not even your brother’s cell phone, right?”
“Yeah. What is it? What’s the caller ID?”
“It says ‘Manager Oppa’?”
At my words, Suchan smiled brightly again.
And, I will give you a short answer.
“Take it.”
“Why me?”
“It seems like the owner of the phone is trying to find it. Pick it up. You can’t just take someone else’s phone, right? It’s not mine and it’s not Dong-ha’s either. There must be someone else who has the other owner.”
I just didn’t want to accept it.
This is the third time the bell has stopped ringing and then started ringing again.
I picked up the phone.
“hello?”
-Ah… … I… … Who are you?
“Yes? Then who are you?”
―No… … I… … lost my cell phone… … so I’m contacting you… … Are you by any chance the person who found my cell phone?
“No. I didn’t pick it up, it was just in my jacket pocket. Who are you?”
―Ah… … I’m… … Sarah… … … … … … … … . If you return it, I’ll be grateful… … Please… … .
“Who is it?”
When I asked again, this time the other person said his name with considerable force.
-Oh. Sera. Yo. Oh Sera.
Oh Sera?
I briefly tried to think of the name Oseora in my head. When no face came to mind right away, I put my phone down and asked Suchan.
“Hyung. Do you know Oh Sera? She’s the owner of the cell phone. She says she’s Oh Sera. Of course she knows my name, so it’s quite arrogant of her to act like she knows me.”
“Hey… … Are you talking while blocking the phone?!”
“no?”
At my words, Suchan quickly stopped the car.
I glanced around and saw a shoulder road.
Suchan hyung isn’t usually the type of person to do this kind of thing.
When I looked at Suchan hyung, wondering if there was something, he turned his body and looked at me.
Then he pursed his lips and whispered to me.
“Oh Sera… … You’re the female lead in the drama you participated in… … You were at the reading scene with me a little while ago.”
“who?”
“Why… … .”
Suchan, who had been hesitating for a moment, then gathered his thoughts and continued speaking.
“You are that… … Anyway… … Actress Im Ji-yeon… … The actress sitting on the right. Im Ji-yeon in the middle. On the left is the one who… … gave you the note… … Im… … Lee Seo… … . Do you really not remember? Hey… … Block cell phone conversations or cover your mouth… … Ha… … and Dong-ha… … .”
Suchan hyung is lamenting.
Whatever.
I wonder why there’s a woman I don’t know’s cell phone in my clothes pocket.
I picked up the phone again and spoke calmly.
I’m really not feeling well today… …but I also have basic human qualities.
“Okay, that’s the case. Should I just drop this off in the mailbox? Or the nearest police station? Which is more convenient?”
-……yes?
“Of course I should return it. I’m not a thief. It’s not my phone, so it doesn’t make sense for me to have it. Tell me what’s more convenient. I’ll do it for you.”
Let me ask again.
The other person, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his mouth.
―That… … No. I’ll go get it… … Would you like to keep it? I’m a c.u.l.e.m.e.r.e. … … If I leave it somewhere else, there’s a risk of my personal information being leaked… … So.
The mobile phone is the greatest innovation that has occurred during this time-slip period that I keep emphasizing.
This little thing takes pictures and videos.
All kinds of contact information are included.
Even banking is possible, so losing it would be a serious problem.
Although it was annoying, I answered briefly.
“Yes, okay. Okay. I’ll charge it, so please contact me.”
As I ended the call, Suchan looked at me with a face I had never seen before.
A cold gaze that seems to be looking at something pathetic… … should I call it that?
Why me?
And why Suchan hyung, me?
“Why? What? Why are you looking at people like that?”
“… … It’s pitiful… … and pathetic.”
“what?”
“I guess God doesn’t give everything… ….”
“Oh, I’m really not in a good mood today. What have you been saying all this time?”
Without saying a word to me, Suchan started driving again.

Inside Osera’s car.
O Sera sat there blankly for a while, holding the disconnected manager’s cell phone.
The actress’s car is similar, but slightly different.
Hair, makeup, and coordination are all handled by a beauty salon called Hemeco. But since there are times when things need to be fixed between shoots, a stylist always accompanies me.
Even if it’s a script reading like now, it will be included in the sketch video.
Of course, that’s not all.
Since most managers are men, it is essential for a stylist to accompany them.
When a man and a woman are alone together, you never know what might happen.
Because it’s also uncomfortable.
As Oh Se-ra sat there blankly, stylist Han Ga-reum opened her mouth slightly.
“I used my finishing move… but… it didn’t work, sis?”
At Han Garum’s words, O Sera’s unfocused eyes slowly turned to Han Garum.
“You… don’t know me…?”
“yes?”
Han Garum continued speaking, his eyes wide open and his mouth open exaggeratedly wide with his palm.
“Lies! That’s a complete lie, sis! How can you not know me in Korea? And weren’t you with me at the reading room earlier?! If you had seen me, you would have felt it! In my opinion… … I think it came from the counter?”
“bar?”
“Yes! I didn’t know someone this pretty, that’s what it is! Deliberately avoiding someone. You’ve done that before, too, right? You’re the first person to treat me like this, technique.”
Osera looked around.
Of course… … it is comforting. It is not wrong.
Does that make sense?
You were staring at me like that the whole time I was reading the script?
You’ve been glancing at me with wet eyes the whole time, and you don’t even know my name?
“Right… … That doesn’t make sense… … .”
Osera’s blurry pupils began to slowly regain strength.
“But now that I’ve actually experienced it, I understand why everyone experiences it… … .”
“What? Are you the first person to treat me like this? That’s it?”
“Uh… … . I’m not in my right mind at all… … ? My confidence has dropped… … and I feel like I’ve become a fool… … . I feel this way even though I know it, but it would have been a huge blow if I had not known… … .”
“Hey. Judging from the fact that the other person used the technique, it’s clear. He has feelings for you.”
“I guess… … I bounced too hard. You told me to choose between the mailbox and the police station… … . I almost cried then… … .”
Hangareum clapped her hands in slight admiration at Oserra’s words.
“Wow… … As expected, he plays as he looks… … Even he knows he’s great. Even though he’s still young, how many women have looked like him? Who else?”
“… … !”
As O Sera’s eyes sparkled, Hangareum quickly continued speaking.
“It’s a skill that was honed through bullying. Because the opponent is Osera. You push harder. That’s how it is! Huh? It’s about gaining the upper hand in a push and pull… …!”
“… … Is that so?”
“That’s right, okay? Look at it now. Normally, it would be a timing where you would wag your tail and shake the other person’s heart. So, you would have to hold onto that phone and wait for your sister to contact you. But it’s the opposite, right? Your sister’s mentality is ruined? That means you’re a dating expert. Lee Dong-ha… …!”
The more I listen to Han Garum’s words, the more plausible they seem.
As I listen, my mental health naturally recovers.
In that way, Osera gradually agreed with Han Garum’s words.
People are originally.
Because you can believe whatever you want to believe.
“… … That’s a formidable opponent… … ?”
“Right. It’s a fight between foxes.”
“… … You’ve been revealing your true feelings since a while ago?”
“That’s how attractive our sister is. That’s it.”
Anyway.
Gradually, peace came to my mind… … and then the story I heard earlier suddenly came to mind!
“Ah! That girl! She gave me a note too?!”
Han Garum clapped her hands in agreement with O Sera’s words.
“How did you know that? Is that you?”
“No. He asked his manager who I was earlier, and then his manager said, ‘I’m the one who gave you the note earlier.’”
This time, Han Garum hit my forehead.
“Wow… … These guys are total idiots… … . It looks like they work as a team with their manager like us. While using countermeasures, they even leaked information that Im Yi-seo had sent them a note… … .”
“Is it real?”
“But I don’t think she’d lie. You saw that earlier, didn’t you? That vixen bitch Im-i-seo, shooting lasers out of her eyes.”
“under…….”
Oserra held her pounding head with her hands.
The child was also very attractive.
Because it’s the current trend.
The original intention was to just have a spark fly.
It’s best for an actress not to have rumors spread, but even if there were rumors, since it’s a good level, I had a shallow thought that it wouldn’t be a negative thing. Since she’s a singer and not an actress, even if she imagines it on her own after the breakup, it won’t be a problem for the work, so it’s the icing on the cake.
In that sense, I had my manager secretly stick my cell phone in my clothes.
That’s why he unleashed his ultimate attack in one go.
however.
“Im Yi-seo, I won’t let that girl take it away… … .”
“Oh my! Where, now that shiny girl is coveting our sister’s star in the sky! How cheeky!”
The warmth of the wind also gives strength to O Sera.
It also gives the illusion of being pushed off a cliff.
O Sera balled her fist.
“Im Yi-seo… … She’ll find out, right? That I contacted you first?”
“… … It might not work. It’s a finishing move, so you never know.”
What Han Garum said is correct.
You may not know, but it’s reasonable to assume that you will.
So the moment I put my phone in my jacket.
The chicken game with Im Yi-seo has already begun.
A light flirtation turned into a race for pride.
