◈Episode 21◈

betrayer

The filming site of director Ko Jang-ho’s thriller film ‘Betrayal Game.’

Kim Han-gyeol’s prediction came true.

True to his word, the film’s assistant directors warmly welcomed Kim Han-gyeol and Shin Dae-seong.

“You’ve finally come! You’ve saved me twice. May Seong-eun live long and prosper!”

I never thought I would be hugged like I had met my savior.

Shin Dae-seong, who didn’t know English, glanced at Kim Han-gyeol.

“What is going on?”

“Detective Shin and I have increased our screen time.”

“why?”

“It’s to increase the perfection of the movie. The son of a famous actress and a psychopathic detective… It could also be a marketing strategy to promote the movie.”

“Anyway, it’s a good thing if the movie starring Detective Kim’s mother does well. That’s why, even though we’re very busy, we took the time to go back to the filming set.”

“That’s right!”

Shin Dae-seong asked the moved assistant director.

“Do you have a new script?”

“Here,”

The assistant director said, handing me a new script.

“I have highlighted the scenes where Detective Shin and Detective Kim appear with a highlighter. Please take good care of them.”

“When is our shoot?”

“It will start in an hour and will be over in about two hours. In the meantime, please rest in the lead actor tent.”

“Thank you.”

“No, we appreciate it a hundred times over. If you get some rest, we’ll come and call you before filming.”

Shin Dae-sung and Kim Han-gyeol entered the main tent.

Inside the tent, Kim Hye-ran, Shim Soo-jin, the male protagonist, and their manager and stylist were bustling about.

Kim Hye-ran happily welcomed her son.

“Our son is here again? Is the investigation into the Yoon Ga-hee case going well? Tell me a little bit. Who is the culprit?”

“Mom······ The details of the investigation are confidential.”

“You are such a deadly son!”

Soon she turned towards Shin Dae-seong.

“Welcome, Detective Shin?”

“How have you been, Hye-ran?”

“If it weren’t for Han-gyeol, what would I have to worry about? You must have had a hard time coming down from early in the morning. Please sit over here.”

Kim Hye-ran deliberately made Shin Dae-seong sit next to Shim Soo-jin.

And then he let out an exclamation of great satisfaction.

“Oh my~ Those two look so good together. Don’t you think so?”

No one dared to oppose her, a giant in the film industry.

“That’s right, how come the atmosphere matches so well?”

“I thought I was a real lover!”

“I’d like to take this opportunity to suggest that we start dating officially.”

People inside the tent were quick to give them positive praise.

Kim Hye-ran asked for final confirmation.

“Detective Shin, when are you coming for dinner? I’m trying to clear my schedule in advance.”

“I’ll just solve this case and leave.”

“Are you talking about catching the culprit who killed Gahee?”

“Yes, because this is an incident that the entire nation is watching. If you make a single move, the team leader might lose his clothes.”

“Then isn’t it too hopeless? What are you going to do if you don’t catch him?”

“No matter what happens, I have to catch him. If I can’t catch him, I’m ready to resign.”

“Oh my, that won’t do. I guess I’ll have to help you again like last time.”

Kim Han-gyeol quickly stepped forward and tried to stop him.

“Mom, don’t do that. Please······.”

“He doesn’t trust his mom? I’ve starred in dozens of investigative dramas. I’m almost at the professional level.”

“Mom, I investigated a habitual gambling ring and arrested all of them. Does that mean I’m a gambling expert? Even you get it!”

“Even indirect experience is an experience!”

“Wrong, completely wrong! How can someone who takes a picture of their own poop and eats it be the same as someone who watches it from the side?”

“Even if you compare him, he’s so dirty······.”

Shin Dae-seong intervened and stopped the quarrel between the hats.

“You two, calm down.”

Kim Hye-ran and Kim Han-gyeol react that Shin Dae-seong will take their side.

“Detective Shin, this kid doesn’t listen to me. I can’t just hit him with a spanking. What should I do?”

“It’s unfair. I’m being squeezed at home all the time. Don’t be fooled by Mom’s acting!”

Shin Dae-seong’s choice is······,

“I would like to get help from Hye-ran.”

“Yay!”

For a moment, joy and sorrow were mixed.

Kim Han-gyeol reacted that it was absurd, and Kim Hye-ran spoke proudly as if she were a winner.

“Detective Shin, just speak. How can I help you? I have a wide range of experience in the entertainment industry as well as in politics.”

“By any chance······is it possible for Chairman Jeon Yeong-sook of Cheongsan Foods to act as well?”

“Why him?”

“I need this for the investigation. Things are going wrong, so I’m acting annoyed and angry.”

“!”

At that moment, Kim Han-gyeol also noticed Shin Dae-seong’s intentions.

“You’re going to do a fake photoshoot, right? The traitor who was with Chairman Jeon Young-sook will be shocked.”

“It’s pretty good?”

“These days, creativity is more important than running around. In that sense, I can say that I am excellent.”

Then Kim Han-gyeol spoke, recalling his memories.

“What did the natural witness say during the hypnosis investigation······ What a retard······ Wow, all I can think of is curses?”

“Don’t worry. I have memorized it all. Just meet Director Ko Jang-ho and write it down for him.”

“Computer memory, after all. Then what do I do?”

“You should memorize the movie script. We’re going to start filming soon. I can memorize it right away, but Detective Kim, you’ll have to put in some effort, right?”

“Yes, it takes a lot of effort.”

Kim Han-gyeol was shocked when he handed over the script he received from the assistant director.

“Oh, my! Why are there so many lines? Isn’t this at least a supporting role?”

“It doesn’t seem like much, does it?”

“What is the meat bone soup?”

“You have to read it correctly. It’s the sixth level of the bone mortar.”

* * *

Kim Han-gyeol’s mature acting is in full swing.

The background is an empty, old building.

Kim Han-gyeol is Detective 1, Shin Dae-seong is Detective 2. This is the scene where Detective 1 is suspicious of the female protagonist Shim Soo-jin’s actions.

“You showed up here as expected?”

“This is the building my husband is building.”

“Isn’t this also the place where the murder occurred?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Who died here?”

“I’m talking about your husband, Kang Jong-in. You came here to check if he left any evidence behind, right?”

“Why are you being so harsh? Why would I kill my husband? He was the man I loved. And because of the prenuptial agreement, I don’t get any inheritance.”

Kim Han-gyeol approached Shim Su-jin and whispered in her ear.

“Yukchamgoldan, giving one’s own flesh and cutting the bones of the opponent… Isn’t that a sacrifice to gain something greater?”

“Cut!”

The filming was completed successfully,

Shin Dae-seong sincerely praised Kim Han-gyeol.

“You’re doing well? You were worried that there were too many difficult words.”

“I strangely memorize scripts well.”

“It seems like I’m born to be an actor. But even though I memorized the entire script, I only said one line.”

“Should I ask my mom to use her chance to increase it?”

“No, I have no interest in acting.”

The actors who had finished filming left, and the assistant director shouted.

“Everyone, please stand by. We will continue with the newly added scene.”

The film staff and actors were in an uproar because it was decided suddenly without notice.

Fortunately, the atmosphere is such that people tend to just let it go, thinking that he is that kind of director.

Soon after, Kim Hye-ran came out dressed up like Chairman Jeon Yeong-sook.

Shin Dae-seong, who had stepped back from a distance, asked Kim Han-gyeol.

“I hope your mother is doing well?”

“Of course. My mom didn’t just win acting awards for her looks. She’s a master of method acting. Sometimes I’m scared to think she’s really my mom.”

“okay?”

“Chairwoman Jeon Young-sook will act as if she is possessed.”

Shin Dae-seong nodded to the people he wanted to keep an eye on one by one.

“Is that person Yoon Ga-hee’s former manager?”

“I was a road manager. Now I manage actors as a team leader. And the person you see over there was a manager at the time. Now he’s the CEO of a small agency. Supporting actors are appearing in this movie.”

Shin Dae-seong, who had been nodding his head repeatedly, now had a puzzled expression.

“Why did you bring a female coordinator? The witness clearly said it was a man.”

“Look closely. Does that coordination look like a woman’s? With that short hair, wouldn’t it be easy to mistake it for a man’s?”

“Was that guy’s hairstyle like that 12 years ago?”

“well······.”

“I checked, and it wasn’t.”

“Is that so?”

“Well, there’s nothing wrong with being cautious. Was that big guy over there a bodyguard?”

“Yes, I’m currently protecting the male lead actor.”

“The guy on the other side was a trainer, but now he’s turned into an action actor… and he’s related to a lot of famous actors?”

“Yes. In my mother’s case, it was bigger than a small business. If she hadn’t donated like crazy, she could have bought a few buildings in Gangnam.”

“Thanks to my mother’s crazy good deeds, I was able to live without any problems even after coming out.”

“That’s true.”

Shin Dae-seong changed his voice and spoke.

“Once the filming starts, it will be a shocking situation for the traitor. If anyone reacts, arrest them immediately. Put them in the interrogation room and I can get a confession.”

“But there is no reason to arrest him. And it would be a bit odd to act out the situation like the driver did.”

“Be creative. Be brilliant.”

“Wow. That’s how you apply it. Well, it doesn’t matter. I’ll find a way. But what was President Jeon Yeong-sook’s last word? Didn’t she say where things went wrong? What went wrong?”

After finishing preparing for filming, we waited for the director’s autograph.

However, director Ko Jang-ho was waiting for Shin Dae-seong’s permission.

“Let’s start with filming. Then we’ll know who the traitor is, and when we catch him and interrogate him, everything will be revealed.”

Shin Dae-seong nodded to Director Ko Jang-ho. As if he had been waiting, Director Ko Jang-ho shouted.

“Ready······ Action!”

* * *

The filming set became quiet.

Kim Hye-ran’s face turned sinister.

“You idiot, what are you so scared of that you’re shaking?”

Finally, her lines began.

Shin Dae-seong’s response was that it exceeded expectations.

Her speech and facial expressions were very similar to Jeon Yeong-suk when she was angry.

“I’ll take care of the rest. Just do as planned. You’re glad that that bitch of a boss is gone.”

The real reaction starts now.

Shin Dae-seong and Kim Han-gyeol quickly looked around.

Who is the traitor? The road manager, the director, the bodyguard, the trainer. Could it be the coordinator?

The staff started to murmur.

The atmosphere is such that you can’t even guess what scene you’re entering.

“Since you found the runaway bitch, I’ll double your reward.”

At that moment, there was someone who was very surprised.

‘Detective Shin, as expected, there was a traitor around Yoon Ga-hee.’

‘It would be fun to take a picture of that expression and shove it in.’

‘I knew it, I’m taking pictures with my phone right now.’

“Where on earth did things go wrong······.”

Kim Hye-ran’s last line continues,

-Suddenly.

The traitor ran away from the set.

“Go.”

Shin Dae-seong and Kim Han-gyeol also quickly followed him.
