Chapter 39
Everyone listened to director Choi Hoon’s deep words.
“No matter how I look at it, ‘Nakamura’ should die in episode 6. Even if you look at the reactions so far, you say that Kang Jinseok looks more like the main character than Han Jehoon”.
The staff nodded with a deep sigh at his words. That’s because they vaguely thought the same thing.
“The benefit of killing is greater than the benefit of saving. I’m sorry for the friend who’s looking forward to it, but I can’t help it.”
Director Choi Hoon sipped the remaining coffee and said. His expression showed signs of deep distress.
At that time, Jo Seokwon also expressed his opinion.
“Well, I agree with you. I only know how to write, but I think it would be a little strange for the viewer to see ‘Nakamura’ come back to life.”
“Thank you for your understanding, writer. I think you’ve almost finished writing the script for when Nakamura was alive —”
“Haha. That’s okay. It was fun writing it too.”
Producer Na Jinho sighed deeply as if he was sorry.
“All right. Then let’s say “Nakamura” dies and I’ll go with the first script.”
After a short talk with Choi Hoon and Jo Seokwon, Na Jinho instructed the staff.
“I’ll tell Kang Jinseok so you can contact the other actors. The filming is running well.”
“Yes!”
“Instead, viewers might be disappointed if Nakamura doesn’t appear at all in the next episode…” Let’s show Nakamura’s face as if the main characters were reminiscing.
“Okay!”
In the end, a long agony was ended.
***
“Let’s go play?”
[Yes. You said you didn’t have a shoot today, right? My close friends are supposed to go out together, but you come with me.
Is that what Jo Seokwon said? I was looking forward to it because I had never gone out with friends my own age.
“Yes, where to?”
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard cheers.
[Wow!]
[Nisa!!]
[College life with Nakamura!]
“But what are we going to do?”
[We decided to go to the baseball stadium. But I’m eating right now. [Wait, I’ll give you the address, so come there]
Because it’s a baseball stadium. I had never been there, and I didn’t know anything about it.
But I thought it wouldn’t be bad to go with all my colleagues.
“Okay. Send me the address.”
***
“Seoul’s pride! LJ doubles!”
“Wow!”
Bba! Bba! Bba, bba~
“It’s really big…”
The baseball stadium I went to for the first time was really big.
I didn’t know it was that big when I saw it on the subway.
While watching the players warm up, Seo Inhyuk said from the side.
“Here we go! To the victory of LJ Doubles, cheers!”
“Cheers!”
“Oh, I’m angry. I’m a fan of Doksu Liz”
“Are you crazy? You did that difficult thing.”
“Don’t ignore it. This year is really different.”
“You guys are doing this every year.”
There were seven people with me.
“By the way, you must really like baseball.”
Seo Inhyuk cheered passionately even though the game hadn’t started yet.
Then the announcer said.
[Today’s first pitch will be thrown by the idol group Red Liz’s Park Ha Yeon…]
Then the stadium became noisy in an instant.
“Wow.”
“Park Hayeon?”
“I’m glad I came here today.”
I don’t know much about idols, but I have heard the name Park Hayeon.
I don’t know how I am now, but I was a popular idol when I was in the military.
I was still looking at the baseball stadium when Seo Inhyuk said, “Laughing.
“A junior from our company came out.”
“Your junior at work?”
“Oh, Red Liz and I are at the same agency.”
“Oh, yes. Yes. Come to think of it, the MAJOR77 idols are pretty good too.”
“Yeah. But technically, he’s not a junior. I’m learning and he’s an idol.”
You’re a pretty clear guy, aren’t you?
“But we’re in the same company, so if he’s a junior, he’s a junior. He’s the mark of our idol’s part. Red Liz.”
He seemed to be proud of his way of speaking, but there was something different in his eyes.
While Park Hayeon was throwing out the first pitch, Seo Inhyuk suddenly emptied a beer.
“I’ll throw out the first pitch when I’m famous.”
It’s like a boy in a dream.
“If it’s simple, it’s simple, and if it’s big, it’s a big dream.
Success as an actor and then watching on your favorite baseball stage.
That seemed like a pretty cool dream.
I thought about it and Seo Inhyuk said with a sly smile.
“I should play the ball well and be cast in a baseball movie or drama later. Sports dramas and movies are quite popular in the United States, so if I go to Hollywood…”
***
The game was quite fun.
“LJ Doubles” scored first, and then the opponent “Fire Doksu-riz” immediately turned the tables.
After the comeback, Seo Inhyuk began to cheer, his voice breaking as he cursed, something he wasn’t usually good at.
I don’t know much about baseball. But it’s fun.
Let’s finish episode five right now.
A person who looked like a show host came up to the cheering section and said.
“All right, everybody. We’ve finished the 5th inning, and we’re down by one. You can win! And event time that came back without fail! ”
“Today’s event is to drink beer quickly! Contestants, please stand up and dance!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard music playing on the ball field.
“Wow!”
Then all my colleagues, except me, started dancing like crazy.
As if I’ve been waiting for this.
Come to think of it… I said there were a lot of kids who danced in the practical test.
Since it was a drama department, there were a lot of talented kids. Especially Seo Inhyuk, who was standing next to him, danced like he was possessed.
Such a picture of us appeared on the screen of the baseball field.
Seven people were dancing like crazy, and I was sitting alone in the middle.
“Wow, what’s that? Everybody, come down. Stop dancing.
When the host pointed to us and called us out, everyone got down in unison. I didn’t want to stand out, so I just sat down.
“Huh?”
“Isn’t that Nakamura?”
“Park Hayeon came and Nakamura came today?!” “What day is today?”
My face, sitting idly, filled the giant screen.
The host also pointed at the screen to see if he had found me.
“Oh! Nakamura!”
“—.”
“Everyone else is coming down, what are you doing? Hurry up and come down!”
I had no choice but to do the same at the sound of his words.
I followed my other friends to the cheering stage.
As I climbed up to the podium, I could feel thousands, maybe more than 10,000 people staring at me.
Then the moderator gave me a microphone and asked.
“How did you get here?”
“I took the subway.”
“What?”
The host looked at me with a stupid expression.
Next to him, Seo Inhyuk wiped his face and mumbled, “Don’t go to entertainment shows and just act, please…”
The sober host said suddenly.
“I see. The subway. Yes! I’m sure other people were like that too!”
When the host was embarrassed, Seo Inhyuk poked me in the side and whispered.
“— Just say hello. No more nonsense. Because I’m embarrassed.”
“Huh? Oh yeah.”
I fixed the microphone and bowed.
“Hello. I’m Kang, Jinseok, who plays Nakamura in ‘Spring Without Flowers’. I came with my schoolmates.”
I emphasized my name on purpose.
It’s an honor for the public to recognize Nakamura, but I wanted to make my name known.
Luckily, it worked, “Your name is Kang Jinseok,” “Oh, that’s why it said Nakamura Kang Jinseok” on the real-time search list, “But what does the subway mean? “Is it a joke?” “No way. With that face, stories like “That ridiculous gag…” and so on were playing.
“Oh, are you in the same class?
“Yes. I’m a freshman in the drama department at Seoguk University.”
And here and there they say, “Wow. So I heard people saying, “Everyone must be handsome,” or, “No wonder, everyone was handsome.
“The uniform you’re wearing is also a legendary LJ Doubles uniform, you must be a big fan. There’s also an autograph!”
Of course, that wasn’t the case.
The uniform I’m wearing is the one that Seo Inhyuk had given me.
The host admired the uniform for a moment and spoke to the stands.
“Oh, that’s great! Let’s start the event!”
“In one minute, the person who drinks the most beer will get a ticket for 3 nights and 4 days at Taemyung Resort!”
“Accommodation ticket for Taemyung Resort.”
I’m not sure about anything else, but I’m a bit coveted.
“Before, the class president said he wanted to go on a resort trip with his family.”
It’s been a while, but I’m sure you’ll like it if I give it to you.
“Go!”
At the same time as the host signaled, I repeatedly brushed the beer on the table into my mouth and put down the empty cup.
After a while, the host, who was checking the number of empty cups, shouted again.
“Wow, how many drinks have you had? I think it’s a record for this event.
I didn’t count, but at first glance, it seemed like I drank the most. The admiring voice of the host can be heard along with the sound of people being surprised.
“Well, all right. You can go down and get the prize, and before you go, please say “LJ Doubles fighting!”
As I was handed the microphone, Seo Inhyuk smiled and sang.
“One, two, three!”
“LJ Doubles, fighting!”
I returned to my seat after the event.
Everyone said they were glad they came to the baseball stadium today, and friends who came for the first time like me were so excited that they said they should come from time to time in the future.
“Kang Jinseok?”
Suddenly, men in black suits approached me and spoke to me from somewhere.
“Yes, yes. But?”
The man at the front answered cautiously.
“The LJ Club upgraded the seat to a table seat because they said there might be a problem with the actor’s personal life for security reasons.”
“A seat at the table?”
“Yes. I ask for your safety, even if it is uncomfortable.”
***
After the game, I returned home, leaving my regrets behind.
“So many things happened.”
There was a lot going on at the ballpark where I went without thinking.
I was introduced to a baseball stadium filled with more than 10,000 spectators, I participated in a beer-drinking event, and I received a ticket to a resort.
When I went to the table seat, I even greeted the star idol of MAJOR 77 that Seo Inhyuk boasted about.
I didn’t know that the table I was assigned to was next door.
According to the suit brothers who guided me, when celebrities come, they usually ask them to sit at that table.
That’s why they assigned me to that side.
Am I a little famous now?
I didn’t feel bad.
With that in mind, I briefly remembered a conversation with the Red Liz members.
——
“Hi, I really enjoy your drama!”
“Oh, yes. Thank you very much. I’m listening to the song as well.”
“Wow, really?! Thank you!”
“I heard you’re a fan of LJ Doubles! I’m a big fan too! We’re LJ Doubles fans too!”
“Hahaha. Yes.”
“Would you like some of the PPL we have? I can’t eat because I’m on a diet!”
——
Maybe that’s how I was supposed to be, the members of Red Liz treated me quite warmly.
So did I. I reacted in an appropriate manner.
Anyway, what can I say?
Today was a pretty weird day, full of fun.
Whoooooooooooooooo.
[Seoyeon: Hey, what’s this?]
[Seoyeon: You’re so excited!]
At that time, Seo Inhyuk sent me a link to an article on KakaoTalk.
Looking at the content of the article, it seemed that today, which was full of strange things, was not over yet.
“This…?”
