Min Jiheon: Congrats
As expected.
Me:
After quickly replying, I turned my head towards my manager.
Ill be back after meeting with Min Jiheon-sunbae.
Min Jiheon?
Yes, we got pretty close during the shooting. He said we should grab a cup of coffee now that the final shoot is over.
We really did get close. At this, my manager seemed to regard me proudly rather than finding it strange.
Thats great! Its good when people from the same agency get along.
We really are close.
Close enough for me to occasionally wish I could send Min Jiheon to hell.
As I got off near the cafe Min Jiheon had suggested, I saw him in a corner, sipping coffee with a tired face.
He had apparently rented out the entire cafe, which is why there wasnt even a single employee in sight.
As I plopped down opposite Min Jiheon, there was already a frappuccino that he had ordered for me.
Hello.
What is it?
Ah, justIm tired.
His usually buoyant mood seemed deflated. I understood his mood when I saw a script severely creased and stretched across the table.
Even the skilled Yu Jia was having a hard time these days because of the emotional lines in the drama. I couldnt imagine how tough it was for Min Jiheon.
Youve successfully finished your first drama shoot. Congrats.
Thanks. Heard youre quite popular in China and Japan.
Haha, it doesnt feel real yet.
Min Jiheons popularity skyrocketed with this drama. He already had a huge fan base not only in Korea but also overseas. Now, I heard he could command any price he wanted in China But lets talk about that later.
Thats enough small talk with sunbae.
I took off my hat and asked him,
Did you hear?
About the ratings?
Yeah, 18 percent. Thats the number you mentioned.
Min Jiheon crunched the leftover ice cubes from his finished coffee into his mouth.
Yeah. I thought it would be around that.
What a frightening guy. At this rate, I was starting to think it might have been better to just stay low-keyed.
Then, you should give me answers.
Wasnt there one more condition?
Min Jiheon had set two conditions for me.
The ratings would hit 18 percent, and I would act better than Lee Kangseok.
I stroked my chin.
I will act better than Lee Kangseok.
It was already done.
Hes no match.
His controversy heated up thanks to the leaked recording. Since Lee Kangseok had left the drama and the already filmed scenes, excluding the broadcasted ones, were being re-filmed with another actor, there was no one to compare me with.
But I couldnt mention that I smiled naturally as I stroked my chin.
Honestly, didnt I do well?
It was usually best to live with a bit of shamelessness.
Of course, its nothing compared to you, but I thought I did pretty well for a rookie.
Well, you did great. You really did. The staff members love you.
Min Jiheon smiled as if he found it amusing.
But I told you to surpass Lee Kangseoks acting, not to send him down the drain.
I tilted my head as if I didnt know anything, but Min Jiheon seemed to have caught on.
Were you planning to kick him out completely?
There was no evidence.
Even if he found out that I had subtly baited the camera director, there would be no evidence that I had directly influenced it. In reality, I didnt do anything.
I just let it slip.
I hesitated for a moment. I was conflicted about whether to deny that I had such intentions or to get angry and argue back.
But before I could answer, Min Jiheon spoke up as he fiddled with the edge of his cup where he had eaten all the ice.
When I think about Lee Kangseok, its a bit regrettable.
He had a subtle talent. If it wasnt for the recordingnoif it wasnt for his inferiority complex, he would have gone a long way with his acting skills.
His tone of voice
I just looked at Min Jiheon. With his long eyelashes lowered, he seemed unfazed by Lee Kangseoks bullying.
Ah.
I finally realized.
I looked at him and asked,
You knew, didnt you?
You knew from the moment we made a bet that Lee Kangseok would blow up.UppTodated from
Why did it have to be Lee Kangseok in the first place?
Just because he wanted to get rid of him?
If you were to compare acting, it wouldnt be fair to compare my acting to a sub-male lead of a drama showing at the same time as ours, but rather, with an idol who was at a similar supporting role level. There have been many cases like that.
So, Min Jiheon saying that he was only setting a comparison between myself and Lee Kangseok was a lie. He just wanted to see how I would act with a problematic guy like Lee Kangseok beside me.
As soon as I said that, Min Jiheon chuckled as if he found it amusing. His expression alone was enough to tell me.
That I was right.
Hyung, your mind works really fast.
Crazy.
Min Jiheon was not just looking the other way.
His ability to read a person was eerily accurate.
I told you, when I was young, I behaved stupidly and caused a lot of trouble Ive practiced a lot since then. Now, I can tell what kind of a person someone is.
The homemade carrot cake was um unexpected.
Yeah, I didnt expect that either.
Min Jiheon ran his fingers lightly over his arm as if he was really creeped out.
However, Min Jiheon knew about Lee Kangseoks bullying and pretended not to know and still treated him the same. Min Jiheon was far from a guilty party.
Baking a carrot cake and seeing ghosts
The former might be better. At least it was cute and delicious.
Whether he knew my thoughts or not, Min Jiheon shrugged his shoulders and returned to the main subject.
Right, I knew. If I just wanted to see acting skills, I wouldnt have to bring up a comparison, let alone bring Lee Kangseok in
Well, it was a test to see if you would really take the bet or if you would use tricks.
Of course, I would, you little shit.
It looks like youre thinking, Of course, I would.'
You left out the little shit.'
Aigo.
I made the wrong choice from the beginning. Anger? Denial? How could I have thought something like that would work on a guy who had swallowed a hundred cunning snakes?
I admit it. I underestimated Min Jiheon.
From the very beginning, Min Jiheon used Lee Kangseok to test me, using quests as a pretext. He was thinking a few steps ahead, and I couldnt reach that far.
I originally set the condition out of curiosity, whether you would use a trick or not but the more I see, the more I realized that, of course, you would. You dont care about anyone unless theyre your people.
Min Jiheon lifted his head and said in a tired voice.
So, is hyung a trash? I dont think so.
You are just a pitiful person. A pitiful person who can never change.
Min Jiheon looked at me and gave a bitter laugh.
Whoa.
Pitiful and self-deprecating that wasnt important right now. I pressed between my eyebrows and asked,
So, are you going to cancel the bet?
I had the quite satisfying illusion of an echo reverberating. Min Jiheon shouted and fell, but I was still annoyed as I continued to sip my beverage through a straw.
Youre annoying, really.
What, what.
You pretend to know even though you dont And you, you said you know my real age. Then why are you being so cheeky? You must be living comfortably these days?
I was determined to give Min Jiheon a smack when the shooting ended, and I no longer had to see him regularly.
I felt so relieved.
Why why did I get hit?
You still dont know, Jiheon?
I smiled warmly.
You were nagging.
Min Jiheon looked stunned as if he couldnt believe it, but my business was done after hearing everything and giving him a smack, so I waved my hand lightly.
Okay, go on now.
You heard everything?
If not, why would I be with you? Get lost quickly.
You are really, really, really nasty and the worst. You know?
Do you not know?
Perhaps because todays shooting was over, Min Jiheons left wrist was flaunting a bracelet.
As I regretfully averted my gaze, Min Jiheon frowned for once and started massaging his lump.
Despite that, he didnt seem to think he did anything wrong or said anything special.
Sigh
Min Jiheon pressed his forehead, then suddenly slumped over the table like a sloth.
He just grumbled and looked over at me, grimacing.
If a Min Jiheon fan had seen this, they wouldve enjoyed it like a photo shoot, but I was just annoyed.
But Ill see you again next time. Im curious about the end. Its rare for me to get hit and still say this.
Wait, is this Stockholm Syndrome, by any chance?
I mumbled, rubbing my arm.
Hey, stop being so creepy.
If you keep saying that, Ill bring a carrot no, a cream cake next time.
Min Jiheon grumbled to the end, and after checking the time on his phone, he stood up.
I raised my middle finger toward his staggering back.
Hey! Min Jiheon!
What!
The time we spent together was disgusting. Lets never see each other again!
No way!
After shouting at him, I felt a bit better.
That Min Jiheon, that bastard
Being with him was incredibly draining. I drummed my fingers on the table, thinking.
There were three facts I could confirm, given the circumstances.
First, the system window was possessing me.
Second, I get hurt and experience trauma if the system window gets separated from me.
Third, traces of my former self were flowing from the other world, and the system window was blocking it.
These facts lead me to a conclusion.
The system window was blocking contact with my original world, perhaps because
No.
That was an overstatement.
I did not have enough evidence to prove my logic, so I recalled what Min Jiheon said.
Honestly, I didnt understand the last thing he said.
What can you do if you love someone?
No matter how much I thought about it
What a load of bull
It was all nonsense.
After thinking up to that point, I drank the rest of my frappuccino.
Still, I couldnt calm down the rising anger within me.
All I got from all the hardships was this.
Hey.
The system window was silent even after Min Jiheon left.
It was a kind of protest that it wouldnt answer no matter what I asked.
Hey.
Still, no answer.
After calling for a while, I gave up and slammed my forehead on the table.
What on earth are you?
It was nowhere near enough with this level of information.
In the end, I had no choice but to proceed with the main scenario to uncover the truth.
System window, this bastard.
It has been deceiving me all along, even though it said it was for me.
Despite my burning heart, my head stayed cool.
Lets not rush.
I had nothing up my sleeve yet.

[Title: In the end, theres no JeongJeong couple[1]
My husband and I watched it earnestly My husband pushed Min Jiheon and I fervently pushed Lee Junghoon. My husband seriously asked why I liked Lee Junghoon, do I like being bullied but
What can I do about his handsome face. Its a shame. ]
[Title: Wow this was the last episode of the JeongJeong couple Really Lee Junghoon eventually became a failed stock I told you he was an angel!!!!!! I told you!!!!!!
>>>>What a waste, really<<<<
Do you hear me!!!!!!
Isnt this the number one romantic line?!
Right now, Im listening to the OST and Im furious. Give back the JeongJeong couple
Calm down
Do I look calm?
Ass up there is not me
But is that line really about that?? It seems like hes just sorry as a sunbae
It seems like deliberately dropping hints oh Writer Sukhui, how can you throw a character that fits my taste and do this till the end~!!!]
[Title: For those who like Lee Jeonghun, know that Lee Jeonghuns real body has a similar personality to him
Dont talk nonsense, theres no way an idol has such an asshole-myway-trash personality as the PD
No, its true. Hes a bit more restrained these days, but the people who know him all know Hes rude and quite cute
Can you say that to an idol?
Its a passing sunset Because its true Theres nothing to say]
[The real body is coming back in October
What??????? Wow, hes really working non-stop;]
With the drama ending safely and maintaining a rating of 18 percent for the finale, Please Take the Camera had a bigger response than expected.
At Daepaseong Entertainment, they put insane hashtags on every video of The Dawn to attract more foreign K-drama fans.
Because of that, views increased significantly.
With the filming done and their comeback soon, Seo Hoyun uploaded one more self-produced video.
However, that self-produced video was (again) weird.
Mebo 1: Well, I was a little worried. If I could find a matching partner.
Seobo 1: Anyone a quiet person. I guess in that sense, Seong Jiwon, no, Mebo 1 would be better.
Rapper 1: Say hi~ Im Rapper 1~.
[1] Lee Jeonghun (Hoyuns character) + Yu Jeonghwa (Yu Jias character) = JeongJeong
