Episode 99. Shine (1)
In addition to simple disguise, Simon taught me how to put on makeup.
Of course, the make-up skills of the makeup team were better.
However, what Simon showed was uniquely the makeup that imitated the faces and moods of different women and men.
“Do I look like a European?”
“I look like Japanese!”
Professional makeup artists also showed a curious reaction.
Jamie Klein quietly approached Kang-soo, who was watching him.
“Isn’t that the same person that Mr. Han brought? When I checked, he said he came to the set with Teresa.”
“···That’s right.”
“I saw it from a while ago and it was amazing. Besides, the appearance of melting without anyone suspecting it…”
“He is a bit of an odd person.”
Although Simon had a fiery personality, he knew how to put up with things that were against him or didn’t suit him.
However, it did not fade easily. He swallowed it deeply and waited for a favorable moment for himself.
Kang-soo decided to accept him because of those things.
“He seems like the same kind of person as Mr. Han.”
“It is similar.”
Jamie knew Kangsu was the Night River.
Of course, the meaning of the same kind went into it.
“If I leave it as it is, I will be torched to scout like Mr. Han. I’ll tell you so I won’t make it difficult for now.”
“Thank you for caring me.”
When Jamie returned, Simon came to Kang-su as if the timing was right.
“Are you done?”
“For now.”
“I saw it… it was really amazing.”
The wire only slightly helped the recoil, but Kang-soo’s strength and quickness did everything.
Of course, the people who would recognize that were those who knew how to use power properly along with Simon.
“Mr. ···who?”
As Kim Bo-ran approached, he saw Simon standing next to Kang-soo and asked.
Yoo So-hyun was just about to go filming.
“I know… a brother. After staying together, I got a call from Mr. Boran.”
“Ah— I’m sorry. Were you surprised that you suddenly came here because of us?”
“it’s okay. Thanks to that, I was able to tour the set.”
Of course, when outsiders entered, they had to informally sign a non-disclosure agreement along with their ID.
It was a cumbersome process, but that didn’t stop Simon from dropping on the road.
“Did you see that while passing through Seoul?”
“What do you mean?”
“I heard there was a bombing at the Seoul District Prosecutor’s Office.”
“ah······.”
The culprit was right in front of his nose.
Kang-soo and Simon looked at each other, embarrassed for nothing.
“I think the world is really ugly these days. Same with the Minebook JG Capital case…”
The person responsible for the two incidents was right in front of them.
Kang-soo, who became even more embarrassed, cleared his throat for no reason.
“But what is it?”
“Ah— I was wondering if it’s unpaid leave until two days later, as planned.”
That was the original plan.
However, since the post-gangjin side was finished with Simon Corbus, there was no need for more.
“You can go to work tomorrow. Do you have a job?”
“Athena is currently in the middle of her 2nd album. I think you have to move according to your schedule. The general manager told me that Mr. Kang-soo was here just in time, so he asked me to ask.”
“I think it will be fine.”
“all right. Then I will tell you.”
Kim Bo-ran picked up her cell phone and walked toward Yoo So-hyun’s filming location.
Then I thought I’d look back a little bit, and I moved my steps quickly.
Simon listened to the conversation between the two and tilted his head.
“Isn’t Athena a Korean idol singer?”
“You know?”
“I like the song. But what does that singer have to do with you?”
“Because I am the manager.”
Upon hearing this, Simon did not understand.
To be honest, I didn’t even know why Kangsu did the stunt right now. I just thought it was a side job.
“Manager? you?”
“I work as a manager at a company called Jin Entertainment.”
It was none other than the Night River, which was called a legend in the mercenary world.
It was difficult for Simon to understand that such a person would be a mere manager in entertainment.
“Why—”
“I just happened to see it.”
The first start was to find out the relationship between his father, Jin Soo-hyeok, and Savnak.

Now, the relationship has definitely been sorted out, but unlike the first thought, it wasn’t as easy to leave.
It was also because I felt a little bit new about my ordinary (?) life with people, along with the work about PD Choi Yun-ho.
“Looks like you’re living a happy life.”
“Not bad. Rather, the pursuit of Savnak will only move when a trail is found. What are you going to do until then?”
Kang-soo was the manager, Teresa was a bodyguard, and Gong Chi-young was the internet cafe owner.
Of course, Simon also has a job, but it was too risky to continue in Korea.
As if the prosecutor’s office was blown up this time…
“I think we should start with an anonymous donation so that there are no traces left on the prosecutor’s office.”
I couldn’t surrender myself, but I tried to take some responsibility.
Kang also fully agreed with that.
“I can help too. Chi-Young can help with anonymous donations.”
“I’m glad. In particular, we need to make sure that the beautification team’s resting room is properly built. When I went to the warehouse, it looked like it was being used as a break room. It’s so messed up.”
It was a consideration full of social welfare.
At this, Kang-soo nodded.
“Anyway, if something happens to Savnak, I’ll let you know right away. How about a cell phone with this?”
Kangsu held out his cannon phone and added an explanation.
“It is an offline location tracking device, so Chi-young can check it. It’s for emergencies in case you don’t know… If you don’t feel like it, you don’t have to use it.”
“are you okay. It’s a lot more organized than I thought.”
“In case of emergency, the eavesdropping system can also be activated, so you should know.”
It was to figure out the situation.
Or it could be used to record a target’s conversation.
In response, Simon accepted the cell phone without any hesitation.
It was a good colleague.

the next morning.
Kangsu drove the van to Athena’s dorm and woke up the members.
“Ah-!”
The morning began with screams as the handle of the ladle pressed the vital parts of the members’ sides.
“brother! What blood position are you really studying? How do you know where it hurts so well?”
The other members agreed with leader Kim Joo-rang’s grumbling.
“that’s right! It hurts so much.”
“You thought your side would be pierced!”
“···I’m hungry.”
Seeing this, Kangsu smiled slightly.
Started the engine and started the car.
“If you wake up quickly like that, you won’t suffer like that.”
“How do you sleep a lot in the morning? I’m really sleepy And I am hungry.”
As preparation for the 2nd album began in earnest, I started to manage my diet along with physical training.
Because of that, the members couldn’t help but feel like dying every day.
“Today, after checking the first album selection song, we will start the selection process.”
“Already? Aren’t you done yet?”
“The final production job is said to be handled by Richard Taylor.”
“The one who produced the cross brothers’ comeback stage this time?”
“It will be right.”
Kangsu was the producer who asked Megan Taylor through Harold.
However, since Richard Taylor is so sensitive, I had to get him separately, not in the company’s studio.
The car was also on its way to the workshop.
“oh my god! Cross oppa’s album production was really good.”
“that’s right! He also took on a lot of famous foreign singers.”
Everyone seemed to be looking forward to it, and the sleepy atmosphere disappeared.
But I was nervous because I had never seen it in person.
It was because the only people who saw Richard Taylor in person at JIN Entertainment were CEO Jin Soo-hyuk and general manager Yoo Chae-yeon, and other than that, the cross members and manager.
Literally, I was able to meet only the people I was directly related to. And this time it was Athena’s turn.
The car drove through central Seoul and entered a housing complex in Seongbuk-dong.
After purchasing a house from Jin Entertainment, it was renovated to be used as a studio.
However, in front of the alley, about a dozen men and women were hanging around in front of the house.
As the van pulled in, they had no choice but to get out of the way. Then, the car stopped and Athena got out from inside, but some gave uncomfortable eyes.
‘Are those people from other agencies?’
Kang-soo heard about the situation about Richard Taylor before leaving the company.
Because of Richard Taylor’s popularity and great skill, it was said that other agencies in Korea were contacting him to entrust him with producing.
It was also a matter of course.
However, Richard Taylor decided to return to the US after finishing the work on Athena’s 2nd album.
Because of that, I asked Jin Entertainment to find a studio in a private house with a yard so that I could not be contacted elsewhere.
Of course, Blue Guard’s bodyguards took turns guarding the perimeter of the house.
As Athena entered, a middle-aged man in the crowd frowned as he watched.
“It’s so dirty I can’t eat it. Shouldn’t we help each other in the same industry to make a living? How many times have you stabbed me so I can’t even see your face?”
He was Cho Tae-goo, the head of Red Star Entertainment.
For reference, Red Star Entertainment was the agency of actor Jin Yoo-seong. And Jin Yoo-seong was buried in society with the help of Gong Chi-yeong because of the video and photo data that Kang-su collected.
Despite such a situation, Red Star Entertainment seemed to be still in good health.
“brother······.”
Joe’s voice was quite loud.
The Athena members who were about to enter also stopped walking, as if they had heard it.
“Please go in first.”
After Kangsu let them in, he stared at Jo Tae-goo.
I could have just ignored it and entered, but it was because I heard a voice ringing in my head while looking at him.
「Wow— Jo Tae-gu, that scumbag isn’t even a real human being. Assault on affiliated celebrities is standard, and it is s*xual harassment against actresses and singers… But what’s even more absurd is that they don’t even report it. I feel sorry for the children… What is an alternative celebrity…”
It was a heartfelt voice.
Choi Yun-ho, who always grumbled, cursed in anger.

No matter how bad it was, the precipitation along with the voice reminded me of that time more clearly.
‘Later, some celebrities of Red Star filed a lawsuit over contract issues, but they said they lost to the agency.’
Kangsu stood in his place and stared at Jo Tae-gu.
As soon as our eyes met, Jo Tae-goo came over to Kang-soo.
“What do you think of something that looks like a parasitic brother?”
“…”
“Isn’t it good to eat everything by yourself? Isn’t there a yudori that thinks of the same industry? Just looking at it, I can’t earn money by selling my face, so I see this. Life is not like that.”
He sounded like some kind of drunk man.
Perhaps because of that, the blue guard guards in front of the gate watched Jo Tae-gu with more tension.
Jo Tae-goo didn’t come any closer, as if he had noticed, and only cursed at Kang-soo.
“The asshole doesn’t even pretend to listen. Anyway, I don’t f*ck with the young babies. Kaak Tue—”
Yellow spittle clung to the floor.
Jo Tae-goo bent his neck and returned to where he was standing.
In the meantime, Kang-soo entered the open gate again. Kim Joo-rang, who had not yet entered the house, was waiting at the door.
“Why didn’t you go in?”
“The person at the door is Red Star’s Chief Jo Tae-goo, right?”
“You know?”
“There is something I heard when I was promoting my first album. I waited for the manager to get hurt.”
“There are bodyguards ahead. Anyway, go in.”
Kang-soo and Kim Joo-rang moved to the house where Richard Taylor was waiting for them.
