Romantic Research Lab, Germination (4)
“There is a shop I know. Very nice there.”
The party headed to a karaoke room recommended by Lim Seo-rin. We all got on Jeong Seo-hoon’s Benz van and moved.
“Wow, this is really spacious and nice. Manager oppa, can’t we change it to this one too?”
Im Seo-rin’s manager replied as if there was anything she couldn’t do.
“Seorin, if you want to change, you have to change. Maybe it’s because it’s a 17-seater, so it’s nice because it’s spacious and comfortable. Especially since we have a lot of costumes and a lot of people who move together.”
From the perspective of manager Lim Seo-rin, Jeong Seo-hoon, who only had a road manager without a coordinator, was rather unusual.
‘But what kind of skin… … .’
A man has no foundation at all, yet his skin tone is clear and clean like porcelain.
The skin color is uniform and bright, as if Cody had painstakingly painted it.
The man with no makeup looks better and healthier than Im Seo-rin with full makeup.
‘Where do I go to the shop?’
It must have been going to a super awesome skin shop. Manager Lim Seo-rin secretly wanted to share the information, but they are not yet in a relationship to ask.
‘Couldn’t there be a scandal with Seo-rin?’
The manager thought about it to himself, then quietly laughed it off.
As an actor, the level is as different as heaven and earth.
However, as an entertainer, Im Seo-rin is not far behind.
Because she was the one-top solo female singer in both name and reality, and a star with 15 million followers.
In terms of global recognition, he is better than Jeong Seo-hoon.
‘What will happen to the reputation of the scandal maker this time.’
A valuable artist who has been cherished and cared for by the manager.
I debuted too early, so I haven’t experienced love yet. This is because since I woke up, I have always been trapped in the eyes and ears of the public.
‘I’m sure Seo-rin will be dating someday.’
If possible, I had a desire to be the first opponent to be Jeong Seo-hoon.
Being perfect in every way, and having that perfect man have the ridiculous rarity of not having dating experience yet.
‘I can understand why chaebol wives are crazy because they want to make actor Jeong Seo-hoon a son-in-law… … .’
* * *
The store Lim Seo-rin visited was a wholesome karaoke that celebrities like to visit.
A place where you can purely enjoy drinking and singing.
In the script reading room, the tension exploded like a dolphin in water as a chick was hit and miss by four ferocious female flamingos.
Seorin Lim, who set up the microphone and sound by hand, sang her latest title song as the first song.
Kim Sang-hee, who had been shaking her shoulders, ran forward and sang along with her shoulders, and her clear voice pumped as if leaving the room.
It was already at this point before the alcohol started.
“Can’t I just love you a little yaaa!”
The title of the new song, which was characterized by an innocent and lively feeling, ended with a grotesque super high-pitched soprano at the end, and Kim Sang-hee clapped and giggled.
The noise that made conversation impossible even right next to him finally subsided, and Song Jeong-woo shook his head as if he was fed up.
“Oh, did I suddenly do something wrong? I regret it. What is the tension among young people these days? I can’t possibly keep up.”
“PD-nim too! PD-nim, hurry up and do a song!”
Lim Seo-rin was excited and held out her microphone.
The basic sense is to start the next song after being told to do one song.
I don’t even search for a song, I just dial the number right away and it starts.
Like that, they sang 4 songs in a row, raising the mood in the room with their fast-tempo and exciting songs.
Looking at the expression of the liberated manager, it seems to be a pattern that always exists.
“This drink hasn’t even come in yet, but I feel like I’m already drunk.”
Exactly as soon as the 4 songs were finished, the waiters came in and set up drinks, snacks, and ice.
Since it wasn’t just once or twice, the pattern had already been set.
“ruler! To our respected producers and writers! I’ll pour you a full cup!”
Lim Seo-rin filled up the PD and the writer, and finally poured it to Jeong Seo-hoon.
Holding the bottle tightly with both hands and pouring it exaggeratedly, it was like the youngest nephew, who had just come of age, offering a drink to his uncles.
“I’m sorry, our manager oppas, I’ll just pour you a cola. Are you okay?”
“Uh, yes.”
“It is an honour!”
Ha Tae-soo quickly held up the empty drinking glass with both hands and held it out.
“Nice to meet you all!”
The atmosphere was already completely dominated by Lim Seo-rin.
Song Jeong-woo also ate alcohol and enjoyed it, but he couldn’t beat the tension of the dolphin in the water.
After toasting and drinking, Song Jung-woo laughed.
“Lim Seo-rin, it seems like you’ve become a completely different person now that you’re holding the microphone. Is it very different from when you were in the reading room?”
Even at this moment, Im Seo-rin was holding the microphone in her left hand.
“of course. As long as I have a microphone, I have a lot of energy. I can sing all day long.”
“So that’s why the concert encore stage continues for 3 or 4 hours.”
“I feel like I want to do more, but the fans also have to go home, so I always stop midway through. You don’t know how much I miss that. Ah, I really want to do an infinite relay concert for several days.”
“As expected, I dance and sing, so I have very good stamina. I’m relieved that there won’t be a problem with physical exhaustion even if I go into the main shoot.”
Lim Seo-rin mainly chatted with producers and writers. I didn’t really talk to Jeong Seo-hoon.
But the gaze is honest.
Periodically looking at Jeong Seo-hun, she slowly sheds her anxious feelings.
talk to me talk to me hurry.
The heart is a desperate eye.
‘Oh, I’m sorry I’m going to die. I’ll talk to you.’
Kim Sang-hee watched the quiet tension and giggled inwardly.
Today, the taste of alcohol is particularly sweet. It is a lot of fun to watch.
You must not be unaware of Lim Seo-rin’s anxious gaze, but Jeong Seo-hoon is just passively making a toast and laughing while listening to the story. never open your mouth
‘If you’re doing that on purpose, you’re a real master. But you said you’ve never been in a relationship before. I mean, it’s amazing… … .’
Male actors who are handsome, talented, and want to gain some popularity live on this floor intoxicated with their own good taste.
Actors who are obsessed with acting alone, like Jeong Seo-hoon, are rather innocently swayed by women and get gaslighted or snatched early.
But he is neither.
That kind of uniqueness might be what makes actresses even more anxious.
In the end, when Lim Seo-rin couldn’t stand it and tried to talk to her first, Jeong Seo-hoon reached out.
“Would you like a microphone?”
“Ah yes. What can I press?”
“It’s the song Seo-rin Lim wants to hear right now.”
“Oh, what is that? maybe this? How did you know my heart?”
Lim Seo-rin smiled bashfully and pressed the song button on the remote control.
[There: Drama lower drama OST]
A calm accompaniment plays, and the scenery turns into a tangle of countless emotional lines.
The largest, hottest, and reddish being among the four bundles of emotional lines was burning right in front of Im Seorin’s place.
It burns redder and stronger than any bundle of emotion lines I have ever seen. Baek Hyo-sun, who sang with all her might, was not even this far.
After the calm introduction, Lim Seo-rin’s bundle of emotions begins to pump vigorously. I feel a restless urgency to run towards this side.
The song was already nearing its climax intro.
Jeong Seo-hoon waved the microphone slightly at Lim Seo-rin and winked at him.
‘Let’s do it together.’
Lim Seo-rin, who understood the meaning, jumped up and stood next to him.
The stable high pitch and the clear and cool soprano tone form a stable harmony as if they were one from the beginning.
The emotions of the PD, the writer, and the two managers who are filming hard also fluctuated violently.
It’s a pity that we can’t see their faces while singing, but the surge of wild emotions allows us to clearly picture in our heads what kind of expression they’re making.
Jeong Seo-hoon, who was contemplating a pleasant conflict until the end, infused a thrilling stimulus into the emotional lines connected to them before the final chorus was over.
After the accompaniment, no one speaks in the silence.
The bundle of emotional lines that were breathing heavily are gradually erased, and all scenery returns to its original state.
Song Jeong-woo’s eyes were stained red, Kim Sang-hee was wiping her eyes with a tissue, and Lim Seo-rin’s eyes were completely wet, unable to overcome her emotions.
Lim Seo-rin, unable to hold back her passion, jumped into Jeong Seo-hoon’s chest.
Jeong Seo-hoon was not embarrassed and quietly patted her small shoulder.
Above Lim Seo-rin’s rapid breathing, which stirs in her ribcage, the whispers of the two embarrassed managers can be heard.
‘I-I can’t do this.’
‘Erase it, erase it. I’ll erase it too.’
‘I erased it. Let’s check with each other.’
‘Didn’t you do something like an automatic backup?’
‘There is no such thing.’
‘Oh, it was really bad. Even if you didn’t hug, if you post this on social media… … .’
Only then did Lim Seo-rin, who came back to her senses, hurriedly fell behind. With her face blushing down to her ears, the high tension from earlier had gone and she became a shy chick in the script reading room.
“Oh, sorry. I’m really sorry. The duet is so enchanting, it’s the first time I’ve been touched like this, so I stop thinking… … .”
“it’s okay. It was a good ‘stage’ for me too.”
“Nice stage… … .”
Lim Seo-rin quietly spoke to herself only in her mouth.
I wonder if the word stage can feel so ecstatic.
“Hey, I’m so sorry to say this because it’s the first time I’ve seen you today and I’m too big a senior in acting… … .”
“Please feel free to speak. Serin Lim is a much bigger senior than me.”
Jeong Seo-hoon’s debut period was a little over a year, but Lim Seo-rin is a top female soloist who has been through a few years of star life.
“I have a concert soon, can you feature me?”
It was an impromptu remark, but it was more serious than any decision made after careful consideration.
Desperate eyes sting and enter.
please don’t refuse please. do it do it
Even without going through a superhumanly developed sense of humor, I could fully feel that sincere heart.
“Just give me gas and food.”
“thank you! thanks!”
Im Seo-rin was so happy that she ran around and jumped into her arms again. This time, it was less than three seconds, so I said oops and quickly got out of my arms.
“sorry! sorry! I’m so excited that I stop without realizing it… … .”
“it’s okay.”
Song Jeong-woo said with his eyes still wide open due to the aftereffects of being swept away by the power of the waves.
“Yes. I think I did the acting rehearsal beforehand. Ah, this. I’m going crazy because I have so many pictures in my head of how to direct the hugging scene.”
Kim Sang-hee also giggled with tears smeared around her eyes.
“What do we do. It’s a big deal. I can’t think of how to relate to the other female leads right now. I saw a very cute couple. What should I do because I feel sorry for Yoo Jung-ah… … .”
A fun time continued throughout the night.
Jeong Seo-hoon no longer forcibly stimulated the emotions of the audience with the power of wave.
However, in front of four or five open-minded audiences, no stronger stimulation was needed.
In addition to their respective songs, Jeong Seo-hoon and Lim Seo-rin sang various latest popular songs and old classics to liven up the atmosphere.
Even when the two managers, Kim Sang-hee and Song Jung-woo, showed off their singing skills compared to ordinary people in the middle, the atmosphere did not cool down.
Lim Seo-rin added shyly while exchanging contact information.
“I’ll contact you later about featuring… … .”
Because he could clearly see what he wanted to say and hear, Jeong Seo-hun listened to Im Seo-rin.
“I’m a colleague in the same drama, so feel free to contact me anytime. I will also feel free to contact you.”
“Then can I really feel free to contact you?”
“As much as you like.”
Song Jeong-woo put down the microphone and looked around as he returned to his seat.
“But why can’t I see Kim?”
“He said he was going to the bathroom, so he hasn’t come for 50 minutes.”
“Ah, then let it go. I see you are hiding in a corner and writing.”
