Why are you acting?(1)
I thought I had managed to save such a large outdoor banquet hall in such a short time.
The hotel chefs who hastily gathered food are constantly filling up the buffet food from all sides, and the fusion reactor facilities and serious face of Jung Seo-hoon are repeatedly shown on the large stage screen raised high.
Even though the banquet was made hastily, the assortment was quite well matched to the point where I wanted to praise it.
When Jeong Seo-hoon appeared, the excited atmosphere became quite quiet.
’21st century Prometheus.’
‘The person who brought mankind the spark of nuclear fusion.’
Most of them did not know the name Jeong Seo-hoon until then.
But as of today, the name is deeply imprinted in their minds.
Jeong Seo-hun moved slowly forward.
Actresses dressed in fancy dresses for the banquet were also together.
The combination of visuals that even gave a somewhat mysterious feeling had an atmosphere that prevented scientists, regardless of age, from approaching.
“Doctor.”
The first to summon up the courage was the editor-in-chief of Science Claude.
“But as I said, I’m still in my first year of master’s degree.”
“At an American university, as soon as the demonstration was over today, I would have given you three or four PhDs right away. I don’t think anyone in this position thinks you’re not qualified.”
Song Jeong-woo’s team was filming hard without being able to melt into the party atmosphere even at this moment. On the one hand, it was a great work spirit.
Sejong Lee asked happily from the side.
“Then what about the thesis?”
“It will be published immediately next week. The label would be room temperature nuclear fusion. To be honest.”
Claude took a half-step back and looked around Jeong Seo-hun and the actresses happily.
“It would be a great help for sales to pick this image I see now as the cover, but science journals can’t do that. Too bad.”
“Seeing you even joke, the editor-in-chief no longer doubts you?”
“Three research institutes in Japan jointly prepared, and multinational figures recommended by us supervised the whole process. All the scientists here were watching in real time. What proof could there be more conclusively than this?”
Amid the stares pouring in from all directions, Claude quietly asked.
“Then, when will the Jeong Seo-hoon equation or Jeong Seo-hoon’s theorem be completed?”
“I will work on it as soon as I have time, but I think it will take a year.”
“Then you will publish additional papers then.”
“As I said, the know-how for commercialization will be missing.”
“Oh, of course you should.”
“I plan to keep the key variable control idea for particle control as a non-disclosed know-how without patenting it.”
Claude hesitated a little at that point, then smiled.
“Then, even if the patent expires, other companies or countries cannot introduce it?”
“If you offer the right cost, there’s nothing you can’t introduce. Research requires a lot of money, and I am willing to share my knowledge at an affordable price.”
Claude’s complexion brightens again.
Jeong Seo-hun suddenly found it funny at this moment when he lied according to Lee Se-jong’s advice.
‘Room-temperature nuclear fusion, I won’t do any more research anyway.’
He is also busy trying to decipher its secrets by obtaining permission to access the comet. When will I have time to research electrostatic manipulation that replaces lens power?
That’s why they put ransomware on their laptops themselves.
‘All my ideas have been disabled because they were caught in ransomware.’
‘Yes? I beg your pardon? Nonsense! Such a huge global loss!’
‘So I think it will take a very long time to publish additional papers.’
‘If it takes long, how long?’
‘I can’t give you a promise right now.’
In this way, it will flow naturally.
“brother. I think it’s really great.”
Han Seo-hee gently leaned on her shoulder.
“You mean all these people gathered to celebrate what your brother showed you today?”
“I see. I don’t know if I did something worthy of congratulations.”
On the other side, Lee Seohyun laughed and interjected.
“Aren’t you too humble? I heard earlier, that Mr. Seo Hoon’s discovery was the greatest discovery of the century, that he was awarded the Nobel Prize?”
Chae Ji-hyun and Lim Seo-rin each said a word.
“To study nuclear fusion in a drama and study the same thing in real life. Viewers will be confused as to how far the drama story is from reality.”
“Aren’t you suffering from the pain of creation, saying that reality is worse than drama?”
Yoo Jeong-ah also brushed her shoulders and whispered softly.
“I almost fell in love with you today, Professor Hwang Gun-wook.”
Jeong Seo-hoon lightly grabbed her hand and kissed the back of her hand as he answered.
“Still, I can’t concede the equipment schedule, Professor Kim Jeong-ae.”
A light laugh broke out among the actresses.
You can feel the gaze watching from a distance.
It was actor Oh Tae-woo who followed the location shooting.
He didn’t engage in conversation.
Without touching alcohol at all, he is observing this side while lightly enjoying food and juice.
When Jung Seo-hoon turns his head toward it, he smiles and pretends to toast.
Before I knew it, the scientists who gathered courage came one by one and began to surround the surroundings.
Jeong Seo-hoon shared many stories with them.
“Ohhh, so you mean the concept of making bumps so that electrostatically charged surfaces can pull on each other like Legos fit together? By applying complex fluctuations of voltage and magnetic field?”
“I never thought that was possible.”
“It would take a lot of calculation, but I think it is more amazing that I experimented while doing such calculation in real time.”
“For a while, requests for lectures will pour in from all over the world. Can you get me a few million dollars for each talk?”
Jeong Seo-hoon said with a smile at those words.
“I don’t plan on doing lecture tours. I’ve been busy for a while because of my main job.”
“The main job? Oh, I said I was preparing for a doctorate. But what else do you have to prepare? Just what you showed me today is already a Ph.D.”
“It’s not because I am an actor.”
“Actor?”
Scientists of all ages widened their eyes at once. This is the expression on his face when he hears an answer he never expected.
Jeong Seo-hoon opened his arms to the left and right and faced the actresses.
“And these ladies are my partners. They came together for a location shoot in Japan, and then they came to congratulate me on my presentation.”
“My god… … .”
* * *
The Japanese research institute that prepared the experiment offered a large lecture fee and asked for a lecture before leaving.
He offered a whopping 300 million yen for a two-hour lecture.
However, Jeong Seo-hoon politely declined and boarded the chartered plane he had been on again.
The in-flight atmosphere was more lively and lively than when it departed.
“I didn’t know Mr. Jeong Seo-hoon, but he was a really scary person.”
“Aren’t you really winning the Nobel Prize? Seeing everyone gossip, it wasn’t unusual.”
“I’m not joking, I really want to win the Nobel Prize before the Oscars.”
“A working actor is a Nobel Prize winner. This premium is really valuable. In the future, the role of a genius scientist will definitely go to Jeong Seo-hoon.”
“Wait, now that I think about it, wouldn’t I have won the Nobel Prize two years earlier if I hadn’t served in the military?”
“Anyway, the Military Manpower Administration is a problem. No, take such talented people and make them tutor for the sons and daughters of generals. Eh… … .”
Meanwhile, Jeong Su-ryun, who was sitting next to Oh Tae-woo, asked cautiously when he didn’t say anything.
“I am actor Oh Tae-woo. But what are you doing?”
“Nope. Why do you think so?”
“It seems like you’ve calmed down a lot differently than usual throughout the location in Japan.”
“Hey, did that show?”
“Yes. I am observing the condition of the actors one by one. You know what? Actor Taewoo Oh, you never talked to Jungah Yoo first. Throughout this Japanese location.”
“Oh, it’s been a while, so I guess I was too nervous.”
“A trip to Japan?”
“Well, there is such a thing.”
Oh Tae-woo lightly touched his forehead and let out a laugh.
“I don’t know much about science, but I understand what a great discovery Mr. Suh Hoon made. I must have been a bit nervous as I witnessed the moment when history was born.”
“This is the birth of history. That’s not tidy. Hopefully, the electricity bill will go down a bit.”
“Who’s going to take that down again because they’re afraid they’re not siblings? Anyway, it’s not a big deal, don’t worry. Thank you for your concern.”
Oh Tae-woo smiled lightly with eyes that reminded him of deep thoughts.
“It’s just that it’s partly because I suddenly took on a part-time job forcibly.”
Before leaving Japan, I remembered frowning at the urgent call from my ‘former job’.
‘Oh exaggeration. I have a request.’
‘I quit. Let’s find someone else.’
‘Oh, I don’t have a proper cutting edge other than a manager. I beg you earnestly.’
‘That’s why I’m going to roll the kids in moderation. There’s no rewarding work, it’s just rolling, and even a low pay. Don’t you know that if kids these days are tough, everyone says they won’t do it and runs away?’
I tried to refuse by forcibly creating a light atmosphere, but my former boss wouldn’t let me go.
‘It’s a mission to protect Jeong Seo-hun in Japan.’
‘Jeong Seo-hoon? Are you talking about the Jeong Seo-hoon I know?’
‘yes. That Jung Seo-hoon who appears in the same drama as you.’
‘… … .’
‘I don’t have to explain why, right?’
‘Looking at the fact that they’re even attracting retirees, it seems there aren’t enough guys to use on the local side.’
‘If it’s you, anyone can see it naturally and secretly, close-up security.’
I understand what the intention was.
If the discovery of room-temperature fusion clues is real, Jeong Seo-hoon’s value is enormous. It has the potential to change national status as well as GDP.
If there is an accident abroad, the national loss is very great.
The only person who can be naturally closely guarded at close range is himself, a fellow actor.
‘I’ve lost a lot of persimmon.’
‘Forms are temporary, but classes are eternal.’
‘It’s really an old bear without teeth.’
‘You’re old. think about your age It’s still in full swing.’
‘I want to refuse.’
‘Wasn’t he a precious colleague to you too?’
‘… … .’
‘I’ll give you a generous pay for part-time jobs. Be sure to take care of it.’
Oh Tae-woo looked at Jeong Seo-hoon surrounded by actresses and remembered the grip he felt at the fan meeting.
I can still vividly remember the amazing power that he casually pulled his hand for the throat-slitting performance.
“I don’t think there’s any need for security.”
* * *
A charter plane landed at Gimpo Airport.
Everyone took out their luggage from the cabin locker and got off one by one.
Jeong Seo-hoon reached in to take out the laptop bag he had put in the storage box. But nothing caught.
I’ve tried digging deeper, but I still can’t catch anything.
“What happen?”
At that time, Oh Tae-woo approached and asked, and Jeong Seo-hoon looked back in embarrassment.
“My laptop bag is missing. weird. Obviously put it here.”
“Is that true?”
Oh Tae-woo’s complexion changed completely and he took out his cell phone.
“Wait. I’ll report it. Crew there! Stop everyone leaving now from getting off the boarding bridge!”
“Yes?”
“Take control of the boarding bridge now! The Nobel Prize has been stolen!”
Only then did the flight attendant, who grasped the situation, run to the captain and report, and the exit of the boarding bridge was immediately blocked by the airport police.
Staff who did not know why were blocked at the end of the boarding bridge and stomped their feet, and police personnel were immediately reinforced.
“Is that NIS 111? Yes, this is the HL7831 flight arriving at Gimpo Airport at 5:00 pm, but the laptop containing the research records of Dr. Jeong Seo-hoon, who presented room temperature nuclear fusion at the Japanese conference, was lost on board.”
-I get it. Send agents to the scene immediately. You are still watching. If necessary, you can sell the name of the institution.
“Please come quickly.”
Oh Tae-woo finished the call pretending to call 111 and looked back at the captain who came out in a hurry.
“You can search the entire airport. Tell the airport to prepare in advance. Dr. Jeong Seo-hoon’s research data was stolen. Do you know how serious this is?”
“Yes. I know.”
All aircraft were banned from taking off. The airport was put under control so that only landing was possible.
In addition, all the doors of the airport were sealed and people were prohibited from entering.

No matter where they came from, the number of police and soldiers leading search dogs surged, and all passengers on chartered flights were thoroughly checked for their belongings. Jeong Su-ryun could not be an exception.
“I found it. The laptop was found abandoned in a trash can in the airport lobby bathroom.”
“… … Then the storage device must have already disappeared.”
“Yes. It’s much easier to just take out the SSD and take it with you. It’s the size of a credit card at best… … .”
Lee Se-jong sighed, rubbing his forehead, and the police chief, who informed him of the progress, could not hide his regret as if he had committed a crime.
“When the hell did you stole a laptop from that narrow carry-on compartment so quickly?”
“We are investigating.”
This is a very professional workmanship. It was clear that the discarded laptop would not have left any traces, let alone fingerprints.
Jeong Seo-hoon, who returned the laptop, muttered to himself with a bitter smile.
“No more ransomware excuses.”
I don’t know what kind of organization it is, but I want to express my gratitude and respect for committing such a reckless theft.
When Jeong Seo-hun was not agitated at all, Lee Se-jong, who was making a statue to die, asked.
“Dr. Jung, your whole research was stolen, so how could you not be okay?”
“Because it is an encrypted disk, it will be useless even if you take it.”
“Beatlocker? But the CIA guys might be able to break through the bitlocker. Above all, if the manufacturer has built a backdoor system… … .”
“The internal files are encrypted again.”
“How many letters?”
“I walked in 256 characters.”
Only then was Lee Se-jong able to shake off all his worries and anger and smile brightly.
“hahahaha, you stupid kids! These days, who carries around laptops without securing them?”
“However, it will take time to organize the equations and supplement the thesis without a collection of ideas.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. You can do it slowly. Winning the Nobel Prize is enough, what does it matter if commercialization is delayed or not?”
