chapter 117
have an opinion
I thought I was not in high school, so I got a reply right away because I was living with my smartphone.
– Ryu So-hyun: Of course. No high school student is interested in idols!
When I saw my brother’s message, I thought I might have brought him today, but I took a picture of the album piled up in the corner and sent it.
It looks like the staff brought a lot of them, but there was no staff to give them to.
The album signed with the phrase ‘Dear actor Ryu Yeon-woo’ was given as a gift, so it would be good to have it as a courtesy, but albums received as spares are difficult to deal with.
– Would you like this? I just received it in bulk, I have no use for it.
– Ryu So-hyun: Huh! Great. what? Where did you get that much? There is also Xyz!
– Yeah, oppa, there’s a music show coming out today. I was in the waiting room and he came and gave it to me.
– Ryu So-hyun: Music show? What are you talking about?
For a moment, Yeonwoo tilted her head.
‘Did I not tell my family?’
In the first place, it wasn’t the style to talk to the family about schedules.
– Today, I was cast as “Jinari” and appeared on a music show.
– Ryu So-hyun: Huh? Brother you’re crazy!
The direct attack made Yeonwoo’s chest tingle in an instant.
“Hmm.”
Yeon-woo coughs in vain because of a sharp throat for some reason.
– No, you said you saw the movie? i just play
– Ryu So-hyun: Ah, me again. My brother has been despised nationwide. okay! I’ll keep it! oh my god!
Yeon-woo paused when he saw the message and his thumb trembled while he was typing.
– okay. It will probably be the first and last music show, so watch it with your parents. And you don’t have pocket money for a while.
– Ryu So-hyun: Huh?! Why all of a sudden!
Yeon-woo put down his smartphone and stretched it out.
“Are you bored? It seems like you’ve been waiting for quite a while. Is it far?”
“Yeah. I think it’s time for us to wait, too.”
As if the feeling was right, the on-site staff opened the door with a knock and came in.
“I will wait behind the stage for the Jay Inari team.”
“yes.”
Yeon-woo and Seo Ji-eun stood up from their seats.
The two headed to the waiting area behind the stage following the guidance of the host.
Team leader Jeong-hyeok followed the two of them and captured the behind-the-scenes look on the making film.
When we arrived behind the stage, the FD approached us and started explaining.
“First of all, the order is next. The pre-stage interview was requested by the agency, so it was removed. All you have to do is go up, perform the stage, and then come down. Please stand while looking at the markings on the floor.”
“all right.”
Time passed quickly as I was watching the performance of the previous team through the installed monitor.
“Please wait for the Jainari team. We will go up on stage while the pre-recorded video of the previous team is out.”
“yes.”
Yeon-woo and Seo Ji-eun stood on the stairs going up to the stage.
“Go up now!”
As I climbed the stairs, I stood on stage not as Yeon-woo and Seo Ji-eun, but as Jay and Na-ri.
Seeing Seo Ji-eun standing in front of the stand microphone, I felt a little trembling.
“Nari. Fighting.”
When Yeon-woo smiled and called her Na-ri, Seo Ji-eun suddenly became a singer-songwriter ‘Nari’ who had been preparing for several years, and the tremors seemed to gradually subside.
Seo Ji-eun looked at Yeon-woo’s fingertips and bit her lips tightly.
“I’ll work hard!”
I can’t even tell you to be careful about the cuts on your fingers.
Anyway, this stage has to show the perfect swan.
Then, all Seo Ji-eun can do is do her best to complete the stage.
As the rays of light fell on them, the number was counted on the prompter on the opposite side of the stage and music played.
“Uh-oh-oh-oh! Let’s start.”
Makeup artist Joo-hee has been active in fan cafes since she applied makeup to Yeon-woo at the filming site of “Spring Lover”, where Yeon-woo appeared as a cameo.
This time, Joo-hee was lucky enough to be able to see Jain-ari’s one-time performance by winning a lottery at the fan cafe.
Since the recent release of “Sketch”, the number of members of the fan cafe Woo’s has exploded.
It was truly fortunate that he had the right to select only 50 people among them.
When Joo-hee looked at the faces of the Woods members who came in, everyone already had tears in their eyes.
He hadn’t looked in the mirror, but he thought he would.
Music played, and Yeonwoo’s guitar melody was heard naturally on top of it.
Before entering, I covered my mouth with my hand to put up with the shouts that were about to explode because I had been taught several times that it was a ballad so you shouldn’t shout.
‘Amazing, Great. It’s the Jay in the movie.’
Although Yeonwoo’s performances to follow were not expected and only a guitar melody was added, the reaction of the fans was no different from that of Joohee.
At that moment, the voice of Nari, the main character of another stage, came up above it.
♪ When I turn this corner

I think the curved road will come out
Even if there is another way

If you are a gray brick
I will become moss with green paint
If you are getting dry
I’ll make it raindrops with blue paint
When the dark road is scary
It will become a sunset with orange paint ♪
When Seo Ji-eun’s clear and cheerful voice filled the public hall, Yeon-woo tapped the guitar with her hand to match the beat, and then put the guitar down on the floor.
Then, I took out the violin, which was invisible because of the fog.
It was as if he had pulled out an instrument from the clouds.
Soon after, there was an uproar in the audience.
“Aww! It’s crazy.”
Fans get goosebumps when they see Yeonwoo holding the violin while taking off the in-ears.
It is true that members of Woo’s were thirsty for such performances because they rarely meet their entertainers compared to the singer’s fandom, and the amount of rice cakes themselves to be good on the Internet is remarkably small.
So it was a small gesture, but I was just happy.
“Aww! Aren’t we supposed to hit the light sticks too?!”
“Oh my gosh, I really should have done that!”
Although it is a one-time activity to retire at the end of the day anyway, the Woods members who were envious of the fans of other singers in the previous order holding up their light sticks as they entered.
After that, as Yeonwoo’s crazy proficiency continued, fans doubted their eyes.
“···Awesome. What the hell can’t our actor do?”
Such a reaction did not just come from the audience.
Yeonwoo’s family, who was watching the music show in real time at home, also opened their mouths.
“Hey, is that Yeon-woo doing that himself?”
“I think so. Did you learn to play an instrument when you were young?”
“What kind of instrument. I’ve played recorders and tambourines.”
“Then how do you do that?”
Even my parents, who were watching my brother So-hyun’s question, could not give an answer.
Actually, I saw him performing in a movie, but I wondered how he would have solved it since it was just acting.
Even before that, when I was riding a horse in 「Stars Beyond the Ram」, or even before I became an actress, I went on to think that it was good to see my grades soared.
However, playing an instrument was different. Although my parents were illiterate in musical instruments, I knew enough that with that level of skill, it was certainly not a problem that could be solved simply by having talent.
At that time, Cheol-woong Ryu, the father of Yeon-woo, who was silently watching the broadcast from behind, opened his mouth carefully.
“Maybe, our Yeonwoo…”
At the father’s words, the eyes of the younger brother and mother were focused.
“Well, why is it? I saw it on the Sunday program ‘Surprising Surprising World’, and after being struck by lightning and coming back to life, there was a Swedish man who became a genius who could do anything? Isn’t it like that?”
The two mothers and daughters’ heads turned around at the sound of a chubby calf.
“By the way, Ji-eun Seo is also really good at singing.”
“My daughter is good at singing, too.”
“Heh, but why is your brother being tone-deaf?”
At the daughter’s question, Mrs. Lee Seon-ok smiled and looked at the wacky man from behind, who was still talking about whether it was a surprise or what.
“Everything you do well or do not has a reason.”
“Are you crazy, Dad?”
***
“Whoah! It’s over.”
Seo Ji-eun’s arms trembled as she came down the stairs after finishing the stage.
As he came down behind him, Yeon-woo saw it and smiled.
“Aside from trembling, are you naturally good at ending poses?”
“Yeonwoo, you were more brazen! You winked at the end, right? Minsu oppa.”
At Seo Ji-eun’s question, Kim Min-soo smiled and nodded her head.
“I thought I was an idol in my previous life.”
Hearing Minsu’s words, Yeonwoo scratched the back of his head.
‘Well, I was a spy in my previous life…’
Still, I was quite nervous because it was an unfamiliar activity, but I was fortunate to have successfully completed the stage without any mistakes.
When he returned to the waiting room, Seo Ji-eun, who was relieved of tension, spread out, but then immediately got up.
“We’re done! Finger! Finger!”
At Seo Ji-eun’s cry, Kim Min-soo approached with the medical supplies brought by team leader Jeong-hyuk.
“First, we will disinfect!”
Yeon-woo puts disinfectant on gauze and smiles when he sees Kim Min-soo shouting bitterly.
‘If anyone sees it, they’ll think I’ve been shot on the battlefield.’
At the end of the commotion, Yeon-woo applied medicine to each finger and wrapped a bandage.
Yeon-woo accessed the portal site of the smartphone with the thumb of his left hand.
Since today is the first week since the release, a portal site accessed to check the number of audience mobilizations.
“ah···.”
However, the first thing I noticed on the smartphone screen was Yeonwoo’s ending pose, which was floating on the main page.
– Ending fairy Ryu Yeon-woo’s cute wink. Melting the hearts of fans.
‘Now it is also used as the title of the article.’
When Yeon-woo clicked on the article, the contents of the comments were covered with ‘antler’ drips.
“I will not hold fan meetings or autographs for the time being.”
“yes?”
“Um, nothing.”
When Seo Ji-eun, who was lying around, raised her head and asked what she was talking about, Yeon-woo waved her bandaged hand.
Yeon-woo drove the car from the morning and headed to LN Entertainment’s office building.
This is because the first scenario of 「White Blood」, which was scheduled to be launched through the OTT platform, came out, and writer Jinjoo Kim requested the first meeting.
When I parked and went up to the conference room, director Hwang Min-kwon, CG director Jeong Yo-han, and writer Kim Jin-joo had already arrived.
“Are you all here early?”
“It’s been a while, Yeonwoo.”
“Are you here!”
Writer Kim Jin-joo welcomes Yeon-woo, and director Hwang Min-kwon has a strong flag.
And behind the scenes, Jeong Yo-han, a CG director with a reticent personality, simply bowed.
“Sit down, Yeonwoo. Everyone please sit down. I’ll hand out the scenario.”
Writer Jinjoo Kim took out a scenario printed on A4 paper from a briefcase and handed it out.
“Read it once. Read it all and start the meeting.”
Yeonwoo nodded and read the scenario.
‘Umm.’
It certainly didn’t touch the big story.
The screenplay has been enriched by adding the detailed imagination unique to Kim Jin-joo without touching the ‘worldview’ itself, which is the biggest reason why Yeon-woo chose this work.
After quite a while, I looked up to see if everyone had read the script.
“···how about it?”
It is always exciting and scary to be evaluated by someone for your creations.
Half of it was mixed with anticipation, and the other half, looking at writer Kim Jin-joo with anxious eyes, as if they had squeezed it, director Hwang Min-kwon and director Jeong Yo-han gave thumbs up.
“It’s pretty.”
“Our screenplay has been devastated.”
Kim Jin-joo’s head, who checks the reaction of the two and goes back to Yeon-woo.
Yeonwoo quietly nodded and opened her mouth.
“Isn’t it great that the story is rich while making the most of the reason I chose this scenario?”
“Wow, that’s good.”
Writer Kim Jin-ju, who sighed at the continued favorable reviews, opened her mouth again.
“Still, I would like to have a meeting with the main actors, the director, and the CG director to make it a little richer.”
“Um, yep!”
“If you tell me, I will inspect it as far as CG processing is possible.”
“Do you have any ideas, Director?”
Jeong Yo-han scratched the back of his head at Kim Jin-joo’s question.
“Because I’m in science.”
“Yes? I’m also in science…?”
Writer Kim Jin-ju tilted his head as to what science had to do with it.
Then Yeon-woo raised his right hand.
“I have that opinion.”
