Episode 137. Club LETHE (2)
Kang-soo focused on the voice that flowed into him as his head throbbed.
“Listen to it once. It’s an entertainment that I thought of this time, and I send celebrities to a foreign country and let them live there for about 10 days.”
“Are celebrities the people who have nothing to do?”
“So there are more merits. If you are a singer, you can make money by busking there, or you have to run a restaurant? Well, you can run a guest house. how is it? Isn’t it absolutely amazing?”
Choi Yun-ho put on a worried expression, probably because of his somewhat serious appearance.
“… Are you okay?”
“Oh, no. What kind of entertainment were you doing earlier? … .”
“It’s rural entertainment. You shouldn’t be talking outside. It doesn’t matter if you’re the manager, right? First of all, it looks like a rural country abroad, and we send performers to make them stay.”
“You mean busking and running a store?”
Those words took Choi Yun-ho by surprise.
It was because this idea had never been discussed with anyone other than those involved in preparation.
For a moment, I thought Kang had made a mistake.
“As expected, manager Han pretends to pretend! How can you even think about that as soon as I mention it?”
However, the trust in Kang-soo was too great for Choi Yun-ho to think that was strange.
“ah… Somehow, I thought of that.”
“I mean. I also thought about renting a boarding house or running a guesthouse there. Other than that, how about a restaurant or a grocery store?”
“… yes.”
From then on, chatter like Choi Yun-ho’s word-for-word discussions continued.
At the same time, the number of drinks that went back and forth between the two began to increase. Of course, precipitation was controlled so as not to get drunk by taking a break from drinking in between.
“Keugh… Do you know how fortunate I am to have known a noble person like a real manager? If it wasn’t for manager Han… … .”
The image of Choi Yun-ho, who fell asleep drunk every time he came to the mountain, also came to mind.
The river initially bothered him greatly. It was because he interfered with his quiet mountain life, and because he came up every time and talked about useless things.
But now, the events of that time gave Kang-soo a chance.
Maybe it had something to do with Choi Yunho and his return to the past. It is difficult to prove in any way, but there were many strange corners to think that there was no connection.
“I am! With an honest heart, if Han manager is okay with it, I would like to make him my younger brother! But isn’t that polite—”
Choi Yun-ho became very drunk. I couldn’t tell if what he was saying was serious or a joke.
Kang-soo responded with a smile.
“Can I just call you Yunho hyung-nim now?”
“Are you sure?”
Choi Yunho, whose face was flushed from drunkenness, was more surprised than before.
“You can call me comfortably.”
“Is that so? Go, is it Kangsu?”’
“Yes, Yunho-hyung.”
It felt like I was facing Choi Yun-ho, who often visited the mountain.
Kang-soo poured more alcohol for Choi Yun-ho and drank noisily.

A few days later.
Hong A-jin and manager Park In-soo from Highs Entertainment came to JIN Entertainment.
Guided by Kim Bo-ran, they entered the JIN Enter conference room.
Inside, Yoo So-hyun came first.
“Ah Jin-ah!”
“sister!”
“Let’s meet again like this!”
Hong Ah-jin was in a calm atmosphere unlike usual.
Yoo So-hyun feels strange and tilts her head.
“What’s going on?”
It was the first time I had seen it since the end party for ＜My Neighbor Diablo＞.
As close friends, I couldn’t help but notice that they had changed.
“just… I’ve had some business I’ll explain later.”
After a while, director Yoo Chae-yeon, PD Choi Yoon-ho, and writer Gong So-young entered the conference room.
When everyone was seated, Yoo Chae-yeon spoke up.
“As you know, everyone received the data in advance. Producer Yunho Choi is preparing a new variety show as he moves his company to Tuun. Therefore, they say they want to cast actress Yoo So-hyun from JIN Entertainment and Hong Ah-jin from Hise Entertainment.”
Yoo Chae-yeon looked around and continued talking.
“First of all, each company has a good opinion. The purpose is good, I don’t think I have to force myself to do anything, and it has its own meaning of rest.”
“I think it’s really good!”
“I like it too.”
Yoo So-hyun and Hong Ah-jin have already heard the explanation.
The current position was to coordinate the details along with confirmation of approval.
“Fortunately, the. Originally, I thought of overseas first, but Tuun’s opinion came out that filming in Korea was not bad, as it felt like introducing Korea overseas. How would you like it? Of course, overseas is also possible. There are places where I have been recruited.”
After signing a contract with Tuun, Choi Yunho has been preparing for a new variety show in a flash. It was over when there were enough people to appear in the variety show.
“Can we decide that?”
“you’re right. This is also the place to decide that.”
In response, Yoo So-hyun looked at Yoo Chae-yeon. There are very few cases in which a performer has decided on a place to film a variety show, so I just did it just in case.
“Actress Yoo So-hyun and Hong Ah-jin can decide.”
“Really? and… Ajina, how are you?”
“… … .”
Yoo So-hyun, who turned her head, was puzzled when she saw Ah-jin Hong. It was because I saw that my eyes were floating because I was thinking about something from earlier.
“Ah Jin-ah?”
“… huh? Oh sister, what do you say? sorry. I was thinking about it.”
“What’s going on?”
“No, really. Did you say PD’s place? I’m fine anywhere.”
It was an atmosphere of gibberish.
In the meantime, the cell phone of Kang-su, who was sitting behind him, rang.
Woo-woo-woo-woo-
It was a message from Simon.
[Are you available now?]
Kang-soo apologized and left the conference room and entered an empty conference room next to him.
When I called, Simon answered as if he had been waiting.
“Is there a problem?”
[I was wondering how long I have to keep that bastard who doesn’t even look like a human alive.]
“Are you referring to the signature source?”
Currently, Simon is in charge of Seo Myung-won’s dynamics and fears.
I was told to take care of it unless there was a big problem, but it’s been a while since I’ve been in touch about it.
[that’s right. Do you know what has been going on around that bastard lately?]
“What I saw on the news was the robbery of Seohwa Group’s home and the attempted rape of Seohwa Group’s wife.”
Kang Soo saw the news and guessed something was wrong.
[This is what the bastard ordered. Then they started babbling about finding cameras and bugs all over the house. It must have been made so that there is nothing to be worried about externally.]
“I used my hair quite a bit. But the thought of making his own wife raped… … .”
How can such a thing be possible without being really crazy?
Kang-soo was judged to be wrong for thinking that he was even a little bit human.
[You’re a devilish bastard. Besides, I sent someone to a certain woman’s house yesterday. If I hadn’t managed to find out and save her from being raped, it would have been a big deal.]
“What do you mean by a woman’s house? Someone you have nothing to do with?”
[A man named Ahn Hee-won ordered them to catch them and make them blow.]
“He is the president of Club Lete, whom Seo Myung-won visited a while ago.”
About that matter, Gangsoo also told Simon in advance.
As the name came out like that, the puzzles came together one by one.
[I don’t know exactly why, but they said they pounced on the woman and made her take pictures and videos. I don’t know if that has anything to do with Seomyeongwon… For now, I took care of those bastards.]
“Good job. Rather, it seems that Seo-myeong-won exploded in that direction while pressing down. I’m pretty sure you can’t leave it like this. Oh, is that woman okay?”
[The actress I saw at the filming set I went with you… It must have been a big shock.]
In an instant, Kang-soo stiffened while holding his cell phone.
It was because Hong Ah-jin’s actions in the conference room matched Simon’s words now.
“Are you talking about Ah-jin Hong?”
[Yes, that’s the name.]
“First of all, let’s think about how to deal with signature sources. It won’t take long.”
Kang-su, who finished the call, went back to the conference room.
Opinions about the place were still coming and going.
In the meantime, Kang-soo sat in the back and checked Hong Ah-jin’s back. From the beginning, she was sitting in her seat, her fingertips trembling slightly.
‘Did you decide to go after asking, seeing that what happened yesterday wasn’t even published in the article? no way… Are you afraid that your image will be damaged?’
The expression of the manager sitting next to Kangsu was also not very good.
Trying to inflict pain on Seo Myung-won caused others to suffer bad things.
In the meantime, after talking about the place, a decision was made.
Writer Gong So-yeong, who was sitting next to Choi Yun-ho, closed her laptop and said.
“The place is in Korea, so I will try to select more from the places I just shared before deciding. Because I have to do the public relations separately.”
“Are you sure you worked with PD Choi at TMC?”
It was Yoo So-hyun who looked up and said it first.
“You remember me.”
“of course. At that time, while filming here with me, we talked about various things. But did you move together?”
“Well, PD-nim kept insisting that we go together.”
Gong So-young had an expression that was very annoying.
At this, Choi Yun-ho stood beside him and became furious.
“Big—what am I hanging on to? It was nice that the writer Gong also got a good salary. There are incentives too.”
“It was conditional because I was recognized for my ability. You hung on in the first place~”
Seeing the two of them, the atmosphere around them became a little lighter.
Then, Yoo So-hyun remembered something strange during the conversation earlier.
“You know the Naju side very well. Is that your hometown?”
“What— that’s right. It’s a quiet and nice neighborhood. If you think about it, the name of the neighborhood must be Secluded Road.”
In the conversation we just had, Gong So-yeong explained every nook and cranny about it.
A rural village, neither big nor small. The warm people around you… … .
“I think it will be good. First of all, I wish I was there. How is Ajin?”
“huh? Ah— I think it would be nice there too.”
It was almost like a decided atmosphere.
Gong So-yeong looked at Choi Yun-ho with a slightly puzzled expression.
“This is not what I asked for.”
“Didn’t Gong explain it hard because he wanted to go back to his hometown?”
“I honestly miss my parents, but my parents are rotten because of my brother. I don’t want to see that, so I won’t go.”
“huh? Did you have an older brother who was a writer?”
Choi Yun-ho was close with her at the company, but only her parents had heard about her family relationship.
That was enough if my parents farmed the fields in the countryside.
“There was a madman rather than an older brother. My father and mother are waiting a hundred days for what they like.”
“Where do you live?”
“I don’t know. I ran away from home right after graduating from college. I haven’t been able to contact him since then. I send money home from time to time, but how do I know what I am earning?”
Suddenly, the topic changed to the story of writer Gong So-young’s family.
Even so, Yunho Choi continued to ask questions in case he was curious.
“If you graduated from college, wouldn’t you be running away from home instead of running away?”
“Even though that was when I was twenty-one.”
“huh? twenty-one years old? You say you graduated from college, so why are you only that age?”
“It’s because I went to college at 18.”
“… huh?”

Not only Choi Yunho, but everyone around him was surprised.
This is because it was not a common situation in the Korean education process.
