The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Chapter 42: Caught.

‘Yoo Yeon Seo was being Yoo Yeon Seo.’

‘Did he have another fit?’

That was what the staff members thought in the frozen atmosphere of the shooting site.

Then Yoo Yeon Seo spat out a curse and headed outside with quick steps. Everyone confirmed that he had left and muttered a word or two.

“Why did he suddenly go berserk?”

“······I thought he was behaving well these days.”

“People don’t change easily.”

He came early and prepared in advance, but he yelled at the staff who were also preparing, asking if they had to shoot right away. There was no such thing as self-contradiction. He was Yoo Yeon Seo.

“Let’s shoot quickly?”

“There! Lift it up!”

The staff who had been chatting for a moment focused on their work again.

“Hey, don’t go. His manager will take care of it.”

“No, teacher. I’ll go check on him first.”

Unfortunately, Lim Seunghyun had gone out for a while to handle something that Yoo Yeon Seo had ordered, and Itaegyeom was still in the parking lot, bringing the items needed for the shooting.

“Someone has to go see him.”

The shooting site was still chaotic and no one had followed Yoo Yeon Seo out.

“Wow, who spread the rumor that he became nice? Teacher, here’s your coffee.”

“Just leave it there.”

“Mr. Suho will be fine, right? He used to be close friends with someone like that before. He and Yoo Yeon Seo are really opposites.”

Jinsuho followed Yoo Yeon Seo out, and Lee Seonja’s manager looked at the door they had left and shook his head.

“But Yoo Yeon Seo, doesn’t he look a lot like Lee Heeseo? Well, he’s her son······ Wouldn’t it be nice if he had a personality like his mother? Right?”

Lee Heeseo was called the ‘ice beauty’ by the media, but she was bright and diligent in the shooting site, so she was closer to Jinsuho than Yoo Yeon Seo if anything.

‘I was trying to be nice to him because of Heeseo······.’

Lee Seonja looked at the mannequin hanging loosely and suddenly gasped. 

Her manager, who noticed the change because he was close by, looked at Lee Seonja.

“What’s wrong, teacher?”

Lee Heeseo’s accident. And the young son who found her······.

“Oh my, what should I do.”

Jinsuho thought he had been too prejudiced and believed the rumors. 

He tried to reach out to Yoo Yeon Seo first. 

Yoo Yeon Seo had a stiff face, but he still responded when Jinsuho talked to him.

‘He seemed to have gone this way······.’

But he was still the same. 

He suddenly got angry and shouted, freezing the atmosphere.

Jinsuho didn’t want to shoot in this mood.

He followed Yoo Yeon Seo to calm him down first and then persuade him to do well in this shooting. 

And he was also worried about Yoo Yeon Seo, who suddenly turned pale.

“Ugh······.”

It was the sound from the bathroom. 

Jinsuho stretched his long legs and walked into the bathroom.

Yoo Yeon Seo had rushed in so fast that he didn’t even close the door of the stall and was holding onto the toilet.

He didn’t notice that there was someone behind him, so Jinsuho reached out to tap Yoo Yeon Seo’s shoulder.

But he hesitated and pulled his hand back. 

He could endure it when acting, but he didn’t like touching others because of his germophobia.

“Mr. Yeon Seo?”

He called his name instead. 

Yoo Yeon Seo finally felt his presence and turned his head sharply. His silver hair color made the background behind him more vivid.

“Uh······ blood······.”

Jinsuho’s eyes widened and he froze on the spot. 

Yoo Yeon Seo took a breath.

‘Caught.’

And by an actor he wasn’t even close with. 

Yoo Yeon Seo frowned and wiped the blood on his mouth with his hand. 

It only smeared more and made him look ridiculous.

‘If it was Itaegyeom or Lim Seunghyun, I could have made them shut up, but why him······.’

As his physical condition deteriorated rapidly, Yoo Yeon Seo’s mind was also filled with irritation. 

The aftereffects of memory synchronization lasted longer these days. 

Beta said he didn’t know the cause either.

‘But is that scene really necessary for the drama? Really?’

Did they think they could be more provocative because it was a cable channel? He had to see that scene. Yoo Yeon Seo flushed the toilet and staggered up, heading to the sink.

Jinsuho was restless behind Yoo Yeon Seo, who was washing his face with cold water.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.”

“Is that vomit? I mean······.”

I mean, the blood?

Yoo Yeon Seo sighed. He looked like a unicorn with his appearance, family, and ability, but he was also nosy. He lifted his face and looked at Jinsuho through the mirror. Water dripped from his chin, but he didn’t care.

“Mr. Jinsuho, you’re not interested in me, are you?”

“What?”

“You put up a wall against me. I’m like that anyway, but.”

You should have kept that wall. Then you wouldn’t have seen it. Yoo Yeon Seo sighed.

“Ah, that’s because I believed the rumors and misunderstood. Actually, I was going to try to get along with you during the shooting because of that······.”

“You feel sorry for me, right?”

Actually, he didn’t feel that sorry, but he felt like he had to apologize when he saw Yoo Yeon Seo’s pale face.

“If you’re sorry, do me a favor. Forget everything you saw.”

“······Have you been to the hospital?”

“Hospital?”

Yoo Yeon Seo chuckled. He had never been taken to the hospital for bleeding too much, even when he vomited blood like this. He would be fine after a few days of suffering, so why bother going to the hospital.

But to Jinsuho’s eyes, it looked like a self-deprecating laugh.

“I’ll take care of that myself.”

“But.”

“I’ll make sure there’s no problem with the shooting from tomorrow. That’s what you wanted to say, right?”

Jinsuho, he’s a good connection to have if you get close, but honestly, he’s annoying.

He doesn’t seem to know it, but does he want the shooting site to revolve around him?

‘But was I always this kind of person?’

Yoo Yeon Seo frowned. It didn’t matter how the shooting site went, I just had to act······ Yoo Yeon Seo clenched and unclenched his hand.

“Yeon Seo, where are you!”

“······Here!”

Itaegyeom saw Jinsuho and paused for a moment, then bowed briefly and approached Yoo Yeon Seo.

“You suddenly got angry and ran out.”

“I want to go home.”

“What? Hey, I prepared everything. Why are you so pale?”

Itaegyeom stretched his face forward and examined Yoo Yeon Seo’s pale face. Yoo Yeon Seo pushed him away with his hand.

“Hey, you collapsed before and why are you like this these days? Go to the hospital.”

“Shut up. I’ll go to the car first.”

“Hey, the car key is here. You know that the secretary is also nagging you to go to the hospital, right? Huh? Pretend to lose and go.”

“Hey! Are you my mom? I’ll handle it myself.”

Jin Suho raised his eyebrows. He had fainted?

Yu Yeon Seo, who was walking weakly, suddenly turned around and glared at Lee Taegyeom.

“You, if you make another lame excuse… You know, right?”

“If I make one more mistake, I’m the dog. Okay? Can you walk?”

Yu Yeon Seo waved his hand casually.

An awkward air flowed between Jin Suho and Lee Taegyeom, who were left in the bathroom.

“Um… Aren’t you going, Actor Jin Suho?”

“Huh? Oh, I have to go.”

Lee Taegyeom hurried to the filming set with quick steps. Jin Suho, who followed him, was lost in thought.

‘The manager doesn’t seem to know…’

No matter how bad someone’s physical condition is, it’s rare to vomit blood. Unless they have a serious illness.

Especially when the toilet was all red, that means it’s a serious condition, right?

[Please forget what you just saw.]

Jin Suho shook his head vigorously after struggling for a while.

He almost ran to the filming set. Lee Taegyeom breathed in the eyes that poured on him.

‘Wow, the atmosphere is no joke…’

What’s this subtle vibe? It feels like I can’t breathe. He pretended to be fine and approached Director Lee Sooji.

“Um… Director. Our actor is not feeling well, so I don’t think he can film today.”

“Oh, okay. It’s not an urgent filming today, so go ahead.”

“Thank you. Please send me the changed schedule.”

“Go ahead.”

When Lee Taegyeom was the 12th manager, Yu Yeon Seo had suddenly left the filming set only once.

[Where did Yeon Seo go?]

[Uh… That’s. He just left.]

He didn’t panic at that time because Yu Yeon Seo didn’t collapse and walked away normally, but he was at a loss how to deal with it and snapped.

[What? The lead actor suddenly leaves? Does that make sense?]

[Did Jaewon say something to him earlier? What are we going to do with the filming?]

[Does it make sense to quit because of what Choi Jaewon said? Do you know how upset I am? And you, you said Choi Jaewon was like a beggar…]

[Hey, manager, don’t you manage your actor properly?]

The staff were angry about the delayed filming, and they couldn’t say anything to Yu Yeon Seo, so they vented their anger on the manager. But at the ‘Dreaming’ site, they urged him to go even when the lead actor quit.

‘Is it because he invested in it?’

But he invested in everything before, too.

‘No, this is not the time.’

He’ll go crazy if I’m late. Lee Taegyeom ran to the parking lot.

***

After facing an unexpected situation, Yu Yeon Seo decided not to synchronize his memory on the days he had filming.

The day after he suddenly quit filming, Yu Yeon Seo came to the filming set and bowed to the staff.

“I’m sorry!”

Behind him, Lee Taegyeom and Lim Seunghyun were busy handing out drinks to the people.

Director Lee Sooji, who had a drink in her hand, came up to Yu Yeon Seo and expressed her concern.

“You said you were not feeling well. You should rest more…”

“I’m fine.”

“Yeon Seo, are you feeling better now?”

“Thank you for the drink!”

Greetings from the staff were heard everywhere. Yu Yeon Seo frowned.

‘What’s going on? Why are they like this?’

The atmosphere is weird… You guys weren’t this nice before.

‘Did I act too nice lately?’

Did I apologize too easily? I shouldn’t do this.

“By the way. We decided not to use that scene at all.”

“I get why we’re filming it… But won’t it get caught by the censorship or something?”

“We’ll film it first and match the picture later. But the writer decided to change the script completely.”

“Really? Why?”

“I don’t know what whim she had. It’s up to the writer’s discretion.”

She’s busy writing the next episode, and she’s changing everything?

“Why is she doing that?”

Director Lee Sooji smiled faintly at Yu Yeon Seo’s expression. She was taking care of him a lot without making it obvious, as Jeong Dahee said.

“Hello!”

“Huh? Writer?”

Speak of the devil. Jeong Dahee, the writer, came up to Lee Sooji with dark circles under her eyes, but her voice was bright.

“Do you have time to be here now?”

“I changed what you requested, and I wrote up to episode 8. I uploaded it on the band, didn’t you see?”

“Ah… I just saw it. Wow, our writer is fast.”

Director Lee Sooji said she had to go and make the storyboard after reading the script and left the place. But wait, what did she request?

“Yeon Seo, hello.”

“Yes, writer. Why did you come out when you should be resting. It’s your first drama, right?”

“That’s one reason, but… I actually came here to ask you something.”

Jeong Dahee looked at Yu Yeon Seo with a strong voice.

“I’m talking about the ending of our drama… I think you should know it in advance.”
