I Only Play Villains

The retirement everyone wants?(5)

Beautiful Campus continued its high-altitude march, consistently recording viewership ratings in the 40% range.

Other stations have let go of the competition altogether.

During the airing time of Beautiful Campus, it was not uncommon for miscellaneous contents such as documentaries, explorations, coverage, and social accusations that had been filmed before and went to the film warehouse to be aired.

There was a phenomenon where the good builds the deterioration on the contrary.

As broadcasting stations openly abandoned competition in the same time zone, viewers were driven to the Beautiful Campus again.

And the record was broken again.

“All right, all right! We did it again!”

“Wow! 47%! Aren’t you really crazy?”

“I thought I would never go up again after reaching the peak at 46.2, but I climbed far and overcame it.”

CV Cable was in a festive mood every day.

The time slot for Beautiful Campus was aired beyond the sold-out advertisements, and even got into competition.

The first director of the drama came to the scene with a smile and praised it proudly.

“We put a bid on the advertising time slots for episodes 14, 15, and 16 this time. All sold out. Everyone, thank you all for your hard work.”

“It’s an episode that hasn’t been filmed yet, but has it already sold out? But how much did it sell for?”

“After the launch of our drama headquarters, it will be an all-time record. I can’t tell you the details, just know that it is a multiple.”

“Wow, not twice, but several times. How much did it sell for?”

Song Jeong-woo was slightly excited, and Kim Sang-hee was casually trimming her nails with the expression that she was saying something obvious.

Starting with Song Jeong-woo and Kim Sang-hee, the director shook hands and exchanged greetings, congratulating them for their achievements so far.

Finally, he hesitated in front of Jeong Su-ryun.

In CV cable, there is no one who does not know Jeong Soo-ryun anymore. Even the group president is aware of its existence.

“Is Soo-ryun still an assistant director?”

“Aww, chief. Please feel free to call me as usual.”

“Oh, was it? Did I usually call you comfortably? hahahahaha, why can’t I remember this… … .”

“Don’t you remember? Thinking I’m not a staff member but an unknown actor, let’s have a meal later… … .”

“Ahh! I remember! I remembered!”

The director became contemplative, as if telling her not to say something big, so she quickly made Jeong Su-ryun shut up.

Actually, I don’t remember exactly, but I shouldn’t let it continue any longer. He hurriedly turned his eyes to Song Jeong-woo.

“PD Song, Jeong Su-ryun, how much time do you have, so why are you still assistant directing?”

“Are you still working as an assistant director during training?”

“No, I checked all personnel records and came back, but it has already been more than 3 years since I worked as a staff at our broadcasting station. Then shouldn’t there be an assistant director?”

“What kind of assistant directing is it after three years? It’s been over 10 years since our Hyeontae, but he still hasn’t been able to join and is struggling under me. Right, Hyuntae?”

Next to him, Kim Hyun-tae vigorously shook his head up and down to show his agreement.

“What is the difference between rolling for 10 years as an assistant director and 3 years as an assistant director? Actor Jeong Seo-hoon, no, what would the professor think if he saw it? It breaks my heart to see my only older sister struggling on the floor… … .”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to be torn apart? All the hardships she went through when she was young will make her the president of a broadcasting station later on.”

Kim Sang-hee quickly snatched the next one, and Jeong Su-ryun said a word as if she couldn’t lose.

“If it’s Seohun, he’s a kid who will remain. You’ll never see me do well. If it wasn’t for him, I would have already qualified for Birkin Bag customization.”

This means that it would have been plastered with full items such as bags, clothing, belts, shoes, accessories, and watches.

“I’ll go up step by step on my own without wearing a halo, so you don’t have to be so considerate.”

“Still, Seodang-gae is also a pungwol in 3 years, but if a person works hard for 3 years, isn’t he an expert?”

“There is no one on this floor who has not worked hard for several years. That is the default.”

Preparations for the indoor shooting set, which had stopped for a while because of the director, resumed. Jeong Su-ryun also rolled up her sleeves and returned to preparations for the shoot.

Standing next to the director who hadn’t left his seat yet, Song Jeong-woo asked while flipping through the script with his eyes.

“Would you like to watch the shoot? Can I bring you a chair?”

“Nope. I have to get up soon. When I’m watching, the actors feel burdened, so how can they act properly?”

“It won’t be too much of a burden. Whether you are a rookie or a veteran, everyone is busy paying attention to Seo Hoon. Even if the president, not the director, comes, there is no one left enough to pay attention to that side.”

“Since PD Song holds the megaphone, the atmosphere is reassuring and good. As expected, our CV cable drama has to be a song producer.”

“Even if they praised me like that, I already stamped with the ducking film. Now, it’s not the producers of the broadcasting station, but the producers.”

“That’s right. sorry If you had discussed it with me before stamping, I would have corrected the contract nicely and visited you right away.”

“Can the broadcasting station give you a profit share with a monthly salary guarantee?”

“… … Profit share?”

“Our company, if we recover 150% of the production cost, we give 15% of the profits as an incentive to the staff who participated in the production.”

“What, what? Is it really?”

“Yes. That Beautiful Campus, I get more money than I saved while being a paycheck for the rest of my life.”

“… … .”

“I really liked this because I worked at a company that a well-to-do professor set up for his beloved student to pursue his hobby.”

The fact that acting is a hobby is a metaphor for Lee Se-jong’s personal wish.

The director didn’t say anything more and quietly slumped, then left the scene without any witnesses.

-I never stole your father’s research. we studied together Your father’s research is mine, and mine is also his.

Kim Jin-gyu finally encountered the old nightmare while facing the disgrace of having his long thesis denied in front of him.

The cute child who followed as uncle and uncle became a grown adult and laughed at his achievements on an equal footing and tried to destroy them.

-The death of your father is a pity, but isn’t it too sad to create an absurd resentment based on old misunderstandings?

– An old misunderstanding. Wacky grudge. Do you really think so?

– Professor Hwang. No, Gunwook.

– Since that day, I have never thought of you as my father’s friend. Jinkyu Kim, I feel very sorry for the doctorate degree you have.

Although he has a cool and sharp personality, there were no handsome professors that attracted him rather strongly.

Intoxicated at this moment when they let out their quenched vengeance to their heart’s content, the eyes that chose to change from victim to perpetrator glared at the viewers from beyond the border of the LCD panel.

-Kim Jin-gyu, you are just a pitiful human who killed Prometheus and pretended to be him.

At that moment, Kim Jin-kyu’s expression collapses like a lie.

I managed to recover and restore it, but the emotions that had already been poured out of the broken mask could not be picked up again.

-You, you, how… … .

-Operation Prometheus spoofing. I can feel the desire to look pretty cool on the subject of mean robbers. No matter how plausible the words are, you guys are just robbers and murderers.

-no! I didn’t know anything! I am just a victim too!

Kim Jin-kyu denied everything as if screaming.

The tears that seemed genuinely unfair resonated in the hearts of viewers.

Hwang Gun-wook, who doesn’t even shake his eyebrows while mentioning his father’s grievous death, feels rather evil, and on the contrary, it is to the point of misunderstanding as if Kim Jin-gyu is a true victim.

-Geon-wook, be careful of the guy who said that to you! He’s the one who really tried to kill your father and steal our research!

After the drama ended, the CF flowed.

Kim Da-hye, who had been holding her breath the whole time, looked back at Oh Tae-woo and asked.

“Tae-woo oppa, did your real brother kill Hwang Gun-wook’s father? My brother mentioned the Prometheus spoofing operation.”

“I didn’t tell Hwang Kun-wook. In the play, Hwang Kun-wook still doesn’t know that I am Agent Black.”

“Ah, I see. what? Then, oppa, are you really only doing secret security as the country tells you to do?”

“yes. Received an external salary, and received a confidential salary. My salary is double, so I’m sucking on honey these days.”

“What will happen next? ah! Don’t answer me! I won’t even listen! I’m just going to see it live!”

“I had no intention of telling you.”

Oh So-hee added a word.

“You really don’t know.”

“right. I don’t know.”

As soon as the drama ended, the younger sister and her friend quickly turned on their phones and started communicating in earnest.

Even while watching the drama, he communicates with fans he doesn’t even know his face by communicating in his spare time.

“brother Brother. Oppa’s rice cakes were properly cracked today, would you like to take a look at them?”

“No, it’s okay. It’s not about looking into the abyss. Even the abyss will look back at me.”

“Are you saying we are called the abyss?”

“Brother Tae-woo. There are a lot of stories about oppa among non-raps these days.”

“Why me at B-Lab?”

“Why? It’s because my brother is recognized as our professor’s bodyguard.”

“Oppa, when do you sign an exclusive contract with The King Film?”

“Hey. What is an exclusive contract? It was just taken for fun, what are you talking about?”

“Isn’t it better to get rid of detectives with no vision and go out as full-time actors? do you know When the professor goes to Hollywood later, will your brother also sell a combination of both?”

“Nothing like that.”

“Professor doesn’t want to go to Hollywood? You speak too harshly.”

“It means I have nothing to do with the detective.”

As Oh Tae-woo woke up and prepared to go out, Oh So-hee and Kim Da-hye’s eyes narrowed.

“Are you going out at this time?”

“I heard you’re off duty? Oppa, I know you’ve never been called while off duty, right?”

“who is this? What year are you? It would be difficult if you mistakenly thought that it was your popularity just because you recorded 47% viewership ratings and spilled it here and there. Even if the professor wants to sell it later, he says it won’t sell.”

“What is a woman? I am going to see the professor.”

I didn’t make an appointment with Jung Seo-hoon.

It is part of Operation Secret Service.

The company secretly protects Jeong Seo-hoon from a distance 24 hours a day. It is different from inspecting the wiretapping office.

It is a method of observing the surroundings naturally by disguising themselves as various occupations such as cleaners, building managers, passers-by, part-time workers, restaurant workers, and courier drivers.

“Chief, how many other close-guards besides me? For some reason, it seems to be mixed in among the staff.”

-Do you want to know? But even if you want to know… … .

“Nope. is not to say I don’t want to get my nose pierced.”

-Hey Mr.

“So what is the scenario for today?”

-It’s a setting that I went on a blind date and a woman unilaterally notified me that something urgent had happened, so I bumped into her on the way to get up.

“I’ll just make it up on my own. That’s the plot of when.”

-Hey! How is this!

Today, Jeong Seo-hoon had a sudden meeting with the Hwaseong Group.

Sensing the news, the upper part hurriedly set up a security schedule and moved. That’s why Oh Tae-woo prepared and came out even late at night.

-If you quit in the middle of the drama, it would have been nice without rushing.

“I have to watch it with my brother. Otherwise, Sohee can talk about something else without knowing the situation. Then it’s all over. What a sharp person he is.”

-Phew, can’t you just retire as an actor? It’s too tight to protect.

The director must have a chimney-like desire to officially provide security.

However, the true mission of the company is not the essence of counterintelligence to protect nuclear fusion research, but the security of Jung Seo-hoon.

Therefore, it cannot be informed even to the person who receives secret protection.

Even if you sell your research abroad, you have to prepare for it by assuming.

“A cup of Americano costs 40,000 won. Come, sweet tax. My stomach will not shed a single drop of the blood of you and the people.”

– This bastard is done learning this.

“of course. I retired and my chronic gastric perforation was completely cured, so I don’t shed anymore.”

A hall with few customers late at night.

An expensive hotel roof cafe that not everyone can easily enter.

The level of security difficulty seems low, but rather, the real fatal problem occurs in these places. It’s a long-standing practice in the spy world.

Oh Tae-woo sat down and savored the flavor of a cup of 40,000 won Americano brewed with the blood of the people.

The conversation was being relayed to him in real time through the communicator.

[Do you have any intention of conducting research at a larger research institute? We promise unlimited support.]

[If I had that mindset, I would have received the Saudi offer long ago.]

[ah! I don’t want any share at all. The results belong exclusively to the professor. They just want a little honor for helping complete cold fusion.]

[That one? Isn’t that the proposal of the Hwaseong Group?]

Hearing the conversation through his earphones, Oh Tae-woo slowly got up from his seat.

“Chief.”

-That’s what I’m paying for. hey, put it in

“calm down. You can’t stop here.”

Oh Tae-woo calmly calmed the excited director, but suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu and smiled bitterly.

“Ah, this is true. It’s very similar to the scripted situation three days ago.”
