◈Episode 58◈
Dangerous Sister
Kim Hye-ran looked around the office.
“It’s a lot smaller than I expected.”
“A neat office is not practical. We need to have a solid foundation like ours.”
“Is that so?”
“Madam and the boss, please sit over here. The CEO will be here shortly.”
Kim Hye-ran and Shin Dae-seong sat on the sofa that the horn-rimmed glasses man had recommended. Then they quietly eavesdropped on what the horn-rimmed glasses man was saying to the women.
“There will never be another opportunity like this for a new actress. The title is ‘The First Love of a Chaebol Wife.’ It’s a movie starring Kim Hye-ran.”
“Really?”
“Would a production company with such a fancy office dare to lie?”
But it’s a total lie.
‘I never said I would star in a movie like that. It’s a typical tactic to scam new actors.’
‘Typical means common. But do you still fall for such tricks?’
‘It’s the earnestness that’s the problem. I have doubts, but I feel like I won’t get another chance like this. Now I’m going to hand over a ridiculous contract.’
Kim Hye-ran’s words were exactly right.
The man with horn-rimmed glasses quickly handed me the contract.
“All you have to do is sign here. You will become an exclusive actor for our ‘Daemul Film Production Company.’”
“Can I read the contract?”
“Of course!”
Kim Hye-ran kept whispering.
‘That’s not a standard contract. It’s a clever way to hide important details and harass actors.’
‘It looks like the actresses will sign······.’
‘That won’t do!’
-Bam!
Kim Hye-ran got up and approached the man wearing horn-rimmed glasses.
The young actress is about to sign.
-wickedness!
“Oh my, this is that celebrity contract!”
Kim Hye-ran snatched the contract with lightning-quick movements.
“omg!”
The horn-rimmed glasses man, who had been secretly delighted at having done one, shouted in surprise.
“What are you doing?”
“I’m going to be a full-time actor here too. Do you want to see what the contract looks like?”
“Ah······ Is that so?”
“But there are a lot of problems with this contract?”
“What are you talking about······.”
“There’s also small writing on the back. Isn’t this a complete slave contract?”
The new actresses were startled and asked questions.
“Really?”
“Yeah, this is what it says, it says that the actor is giving all of his authority to his agency. If you sign something like this without thinking, it’ll cause you a lot of headaches later on.”
The voice of the man with horn-rimmed glasses became hoarse.
“Madam······What are you doing now?”
“What are you doing? I’m just trying to fix something that’s wrong. I think I made a mistake in the contract.”
“No, this is a state-approved contract. This is the first time your wife has seen such a contract······.”
“I’m very familiar with these contracts. They squeeze you before you sign the body waiver. You’re so childish, considering you’re a big shot in the Korean entertainment industry.”
The horn-rimmed glasses man’s expression hardened.
“This is really problematic. Aren’t you intentionally interfering with someone else’s business?”
“Oh my, are you threatening me right now?”
“Shall I show you what a real threat is······ guys?”
As soon as the horn-rimmed glasses man finished speaking,
-Thud!
A pair of grim-looking men came out of a small side door.
He had a physique reminiscent of a wrestler.
“Director, what’s going on?”
“I need to take care of that clueless lady.”
“Okay, Director.”
This is when the fierce men approach Kim Hye-ran.
Shin Dae-seong politely stopped them.
“Stop… The person here is a very dangerous older sister. You guys can’t handle it.”
“You’re sick and lying down. What are you doing? Take care of that kid too!”
That’s when the horn-rimmed glasses guy yells in annoyance.
-chuck!
Shin Dae-seong immediately took out his gun and aimed it.
“There’s no need for conversation, is there?”
“!”
The grim-looking men stopped and hesitated.
The man with horn-rimmed glasses reflexively raised both hands.
“Who, who are you?”
“You don’t need to know who I am······.”
Shin Dae-seong looked back at Kim Hye-ran and asked.
“Sister, what should we do with this guy? He dared to call you ‘auntie’. He did something unimaginable in the mafia world.”
* * *
The office of ‘Dae-mul Film Studio’ is full of tension.
The man with horn-rimmed glasses raised his hand even higher.
The fierce men slowly backed away, and Kim Hye-ran spoke to Shin Dae-seong, who was holding a gun, as if trying to appease him.
“My brother has a very impatient personality. You shouldn’t take out a gun in a place like this.
“I’m sorry, I was trying to protect my sister, so I got ahead of myself······.”
“No matter what, I should put on a silencer. It’ll be inconvenient if the police come right away because of the gunshots. I’m wearing high heels today so I can’t run fast.”
“I was short-sighted, Sister.”
The man with horn-rimmed glasses, who had been relieved for a moment, became very nervous.
-Squeak, squeak······.
This is because Shin Dae-seong attached a silencer to his pistol.
The grumpy men asked the man with horn-rimmed glasses.
“Director, is that a real gun?”
“How would I know, you little brat······.”
“I’ve seen a few real guns, and that doesn’t look like it. It’s not a gun with a silencer.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m not 100% sure······.”
-Squeak, squeak, squeak!
Shin Dae-seong finished attaching the silencer. Then he fired at the laptop on the desk.
-bang.
Even with the silencer attached, the gunshot was loud.
The laptop that was shot was shattered into pieces when it burst into flames.
It was definitely a real gun.
Shin Dae-seong turned his gun on the fierce men.
“You guys go back into your rooms. If I even hear the door opening, I’ll turn you into a beehive.”
“Ah, ah, I understand!”
The rough-looking men rushed into the room and locked the door.
Shin Dae-seong asked Kim Hye-ran’s opinion.
“What about these horn-rimmed glasses? I think that guy named CEO Chun tricked you.”
“That won’t do······.”
Kim Hye-ran asked the man with horn-rimmed glasses.
“What is your name?”
“I’m Baek Sang-woon. Sister. No, madam.”
“What do you do here?”
“D, D, I’m the director. I’m casting the right roles for the movie. Didn’t you see that before······.”
“Yeah~ I came here for the casting too. I flew all the way here. They said they’d let me play any role I wanted… You’re not trying to scam me, are you?”
“That’s what I mean······.”
Shin Dae-seong warned fiercely.
“You’ll have to answer well. My sister hates betrayal the most. The moment she hears disappointing words, she won’t be able to control her anger. Does she have a family? I wonder how far the sparks will fly.”
Baek Sang-woon quickly changed his answer.
“This is absolutely not a scam. Just ask for any role and our CEO will put you in the position right away.”
Kim Hye-ran asked to confirm.
“Really? If you try to fool me, I don’t know what will happen. I don’t want to come all the way to Korea to do this, but I get really sensitive when I get angry. Do you understand what I mean?”
“Well, then.”
This is when Baek Sang-woon nods his head like crazy.
-Rumble.
Only Cheon Won-man opened the door and came in.
“I heard something explode earlier······!”
He came face to face with the scene where Shin Dae-seong aimed a gun at Baek Sang-woon’s forehead.
“What the heck is going on?”
“······.”
Baek Sang-woon is speechless and still frozen.
Shin Dae-seong slowly put his gun away and asked Baek Sang-woon.
“How is it? Director Baek. Is this enough to pass as a mafia performance?”
“Oh, that’s amazing. I passed······.”
“Doesn’t this gun look real?”
“Oh, that’s right. I guess you prepared a lot. Anyway, both of you passed the audition.”
Cheon Won-man asked Baek Sang-woon.
“Did you both pass the audition?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Cheon Won-man approached Kim Hye-ran.
“Congratulations, ma’am.”
“No problem. But who are you?”
“I am Cheon Won-man, the CEO of Daemul Film Production Company.”
For a moment, Kim Hye-ran looked at him suspiciously.
“Really? Isn’t that the CEO Chun I met?”
“Where did we meet?”
“In Sicily, Italy. I saved a man from death in a bar.”
“That’s strange. I’ve never been to Italy······.”
“Isn’t this Representative Chun’s business card?”
Kim Hye-ran handed over the business card she had in her arms.
“I think this is my business card······.”
Baek Sang-woon, who was becoming anxious, poked Cheon Won-man in the side.
“Who cares who the business card is? What matters is that we cast good actors.”
“Yes, that’s true. Would you please sit over here?”
Cheon Won-man politely guided me to the sofa seat.
“You can tell at a glance that she’s beautiful.”
Kim Hye-ran answered, slightly lowering her sunglasses.
“I often hear that I look like actress Kim Hye-ran. That’s why my nickname is Italian Kim Hye-ran.”
“Ah, I see.”
Cheon Won-man forced a smile and spoke to Baek Sang-woon.
“Should I hurry and get out the contract?”
“······.”
This is when Baek Sang-woon hesitates while keeping an eye on things.
Shin Dae-seong said politely.
“I created your contract separately.”
“Haha, okay······Where should I look?”
Cheon Won-man started reading the contract that Shin Dae-seong handed him. His expression immediately hardened,
“Ha, shit······ Are you guys joking?”
Shin Dae-seong replied with a faint smile.
“What’s wrong?”
“I’m speechless. 1 billion won for one movie, a top-class camping car for relaxation, and snacks with seasonal fruits… Haa~ Even actress Kim Hye-ran, who is said to have the most ticket sales, can’t afford this much?”
“Our sister has more ‘power’ than that. What would happen if we refused it?”
“There are so many crazy guys here······ Guys, come out!”
Cheon Won-man shouted towards the side door.
But on that side, all I felt was silence, as if a mouse had died.
Shin Dae-seong asked with a faint smile.
“Is the vehicle number 8787?”
“But why?”
“Should I change to another car?”
“You crazy bastard… Do you know how much my car costs? It hasn’t even been a month since I bought it?”
“You’re less tactful than I expected.”
It’s time for Shin Dae-seong to take out a small switch and press it.
-Phew!
With a loud explosion,
-Beep, beep, beep, beep······.
The car alarm blared loudly.
“Can you drive a car that exploded?”
“What, what did you say!”
“Sister, are you going?”
Kim Hye-ran got up from the sofa and warned.
“I’ll give you three days. Sign the contract I gave you. If you break it, what will happen? If I report you to the police. Your entire organization will be in trouble.”
Kim Hye-ran turned around and headed toward the door.
-Crunch, crunch.
The moment I walked out of the office with a proud gait,
-Whistle.
“Oh my god!”
Kim Hye-ran stumbled due to nervousness.
“Are you okay?”
Shin Dae-seong quickly supported him and asked.
“Wow~ My heart was pounding so hard I felt like it was going to explode. But it was also incredibly exciting and fun.”
“Hye-ran seems to have been born with it. If she hadn’t become an actress, she would have become a legendary female boss.”
* * *
A mental hospital in Gyeonggi Province.
Kim Han-gyeol was possessed by Song Tae-chang. As he spent time with Wang Yu-seok, their intimacy grew.
“Shin-chan, how long are you going to be here?”
“I like it here? The food at the restaurant has gotten better lately, and I have no complaints at all······.”
“What are you talking about? The outside world is much better!”
“I really like it here······.”
Kim Han-gyeol began to seriously persuade Wang Yu-seok.
“I already have everything planned out.”
“What are your plans?”
“I have a plan to take over the Baekho faction’s territory. I’ll tell you what I’m going to do.”
“No, no······ I absolutely do not want to be with you.”
“It’s okay if we don’t do it together. I’m just telling you.”
“No, no, no! I will never listen. I will never listen!”
Wang Yu-seok shouted and caused a commotion.
“Okay, okay… I won’t say anything, just calm down. Okay? I’ll go back to my room. Get some rest and I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Kim Han-gyeol hurriedly left Wang Yu-seok’s hospital room.
It’s because of the doctor’s advice not to be too anxious.
“How long do I have to wait······.”
It was when Kim Han-gyeol was walking down the hallway.
-wickedness.
A white-skinned nurse passed by him. Kim Han-gyeol’s head instinctively turned.
“Was there such a pretty nurse in a closed ward······!”
Kim Han-gyeol stopped walking.
In his head, he had arranged patients, nurses, and even cleaning ladies in order of appearance. The woman who had just passed was a nurse he had never seen before.
“no way!”
Kim Han-gyeol turned around and started running.
Just in case, I picked up a small stainless steel trash can as a weapon.
As expected.
Wang Yu-seok’s hospital room door was wide open.
“Who are you!”
The nurse, who was slowly turning around, was holding a sharp jackknife in her hand.
“She was a very dangerous older sister······.”
Kim Han-gyeol glared at her with a tense expression.
