Chapter 74
The guide briefly agonized over Lee Minyoung's question, "Tell
who it is."
Then he shook his head slightly.
"I'm sorry. I can't tell you."
"I can't believe you can't tell …". What the hell?!"
When Lee Minyoung asked in an urgent voice, the guide said with a light smile.
"It's our enshrinent regulations. Personal information such as visitor's na or contact information cannot be disclosed to others."
Lee Minyoung paused when he said "regulation." That doesn't an there's no way.
Under the na of the deputy chief prosecutor, he's just trying to find out the na of the visitor because it's not even a job.
If it were normal, I wouldn't have thought of this at all. This is because Lee Minyoung was a person who thought of convictions and principles as life.
But this ti, I was shaken,
"But just in ti."
“…?”
"The guest book is here. I can show you this. The regulations don't say don't show the guest book."
Still, with a nice smile, the guide handed over the guest book.
"You can check the na of the person who ca to see Manseok Lee."
Upon hearing that, Lee Minyoung quickly scanned the guest book handed over by the guide.
‘…"Kang Jinseok?"
It was a na I heard a lot from sowhere.
"Kang Jinseok…". Is that actor Kang Jinseok?'
I don't know why, but Lee Minyoung ca up with the na "actor Kang Jinseok." Maybe it's because he's an actor who plays his brother.
Lee Minyoung scanned the letter quickly again.
"This letter… As expected, it's so similar to the letter he wrote."
Although Lee Minyoung tore the letter to pieces and couldn't recognize the content properly, so sentences were recognizable. However, the sentences were written in this letter.
"And the back page….’
It seed to contain the contents of the letter he tore up when he was young.
Even the childhood mories of himself and his brother that no one knows.
Lee Minyoung's mind, which recalled the contents of the letter, beca complicated.
‘Let's be calm. ‘Lee Minyoung. What I need to find out now is who wrote this letter.'
As Lee Minyoung investigated, he began to collect information step by step.
"Do you rember the description of the person who wrote the letter?" "If you don't rember, can you show
CCTV?"
"That's also out of regulation. In addition, our CCTV only records 24 hours, so he won't be recorded."
“….”
"But, he was a really handso young man. He has a good voice. I felt it even though he was wearing a hat and a mask….”
After listening to the guide, Lee Minyoung hurriedly took out his cell phone. I imdiately searched for Jinseok and showed it to the guide.
"Was it this guy?"
The guide looked at Lee Minyoung's cell phone.
"····Well, I think they have similar eyes. By the way, my God, was he Nakamura by any chance? No wonder, he looked familiar!”
The relaxed attitude so far disappeared, and he said in a surprised voice.
The guide made a small fuss, but Lee Minyoung didn't have ti to care about him now.
"Actor Kang Jinseok wrote this?" Why? No, how…?’
This was an undoubtedly ‘oppa's' letter. What he wanted to see so much.
"Wake up, Lee Minyoung." It's not certain yet.'
There was one last thing left to check. Lee Minyoung brought the letter to the guest book.
"If…. If it was written by actor Kang Jinseok….’
The na written in the guest book and the handwriting of the letter will be the sa.
"Oh, my God….’
It was the sa.
the handwriting of the na and the letter.

Early Friday morning.
Maybe because I rested at ho all day yesterday, I felt fresher than usual.
I drank a lot of ‘green juice' in the refrigerator.
"Ugh….”
It's a healthy taste that you can't get used to no matter how much you drink. I wiped the juice from my mouth and checked today's schedule.
"Well… Today is the last day of filming.'
Today's shooting is the scene where "Oh Manho" is executed. The highlight scene in the second half of the drama.
Originally, it was supposed to be fild last week, but since it had to deal with "The Death Penalty," the Sergeant and PD delayed it last.
The scene of being executed is not fild, but the scene of walking to the death penalty should be fild.
(Singing "Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo-Woo.").
The cell phone rang.
It was Jang Sunho.
"Yes, manager!"
[Yes, actor]. It's Jang Sunho. Have you eaten yet? [I'm calling because I've arrived in about 5 minutes]
"I'm drinking juice right now. Then I'll slowly go down!"
In response to Jang Sunho's call that he had almost arrived in front of the house, he left the house with his clothes on.
It wasn't long before I saw a familiar van.
"Good morning! Thank you for coming today as well."
I got into the van and greeted Jang Sunho in the driver's seat.
"Yes, actor. Today is finally the last shoot. "How are you feeling?"
"I like it maybe because I took a day off yesterday. But it's a little bittersweet. It's a sha that it's already the last shoot… I'm looking forward to how the work will turn out."
"It will co out well. Let's get going first."
"Yes."
The van moved forward gently. Students wearing school uniforms were seen gathering in groups and going to the school.
So of them pointed to the van and said sothing. I didn't know what they were talking about.
"··· We have arrived."
I dozed off without realizing it, and I felt like I arrived at the set.
"Did we arrive already?"
Today's set is Iksan's "Prison Set".
It is not an exaggeration to say that most of the Korean works taken in the background of prisons are taken here.
"It's really big."
After passing through the tall, long gray concrete wall, I arrived at the place where the staff gathered.
"Hello, Kang Jinseok has arrived!"
"Oh, yes! Hello! You ca very early today, too!"
The set looked as busy as ever.
Although the only scene I shoot is the scene where "Oh Manho" walks to the death penalty, the staff will also have other scenes.
When I was walking around looking at the set.
"Kang Jinseok!"
I heard a familiar voice next to . It was Kang Hyunjin, the writer who wrote this work.
"Oh, hello, writer! It's been a while since I saw you. "Did you co to see it because it's our last shoot?"
"Oh…. There's that, and the producer said there's sothing to discuss on the spot. They asked
to change the script. More than that, how have you been?"
After asking about each other's updates for a while, Kang Hyunjin asked in a cautious voice.
"I… But I'm a little sorry to tell you this."
“?”
"Actually, an acquaintance of mine ca to the set today. I told the producer beforehand, but….”
"The writer's acquaintance?"
"Yes. He's the one who helped
a lot when I wrote this work. He said he really wanted to et actor Kang Jinseok. (Laughing out loud)….”
Kang Hyunjin looked at
and said.
Although it didn't matter to , the person in question.
"It's not that big of a deal to see your face." It doesn't wear out just because you see it.'
I tried to say that it was okay.
At that ti, Kang Hyunjin muttered.
“…In fact, rather than my acquaintance, I'm an acquaintance of an acquaintance. He is the junior of the person who gave
the subject matter of this work. He's also the younger brother of the person who beca the motif of "Faithful Manho."
“….”
"He said he really wanted to et actor Kang Jinseok. He said it so desperately… Please just say hello."
Kang Hyunjin was constantly looking embarrassed. But I was as complicated as Kang Hyunjin, or obviously more than that.
"I can't believe you're the younger brother of the one who beca the motif of ‘Pride'." Don't tell ….’
A person ca to mind.
‘…" Lee Minyoung?"
I knew that Manho and Lee Manseok's lives were so similar. However, I did not think that this work was made by Lee Manseok.
I asked writer Kang Hyunjin carefully.
"By any chance… Who would it be
"Oh! Is he going to et
now?"
"Yes, he cos all the way to the set. More than that… I want to know who it is first."
"Oh, yes. He's an incredible man. The deputy prosecutor in Korea…!”
When writer Kang Hyunjin was speaking in an excited voice.
"Nice to et you. Mr. Kang Jinseok."
I heard a calm voice in the background. I looked back slowly.
"I'm Lee Minyoung. Lee Manseok… It's his brother."
There was Lee Minyoung slowly approached . With a bouquet of flowers in one hand.
I was taken aback. No, I was a little surprised rather than embarrassed to be exact.
"I heard that you've acted really well so far. I don't know about acting but thank you very much. And I look forward to your kind cooperation until the end."
When I looked at Lee Minyoung without saying anything, he said with a slight smile.
"It's kind of hard to co empty-handed, so I brought a bouquet of flowers. I don't know what to bring. I'd like you to accept it if you don't mind."
Lee Minyoung put out a bouquet of flowers.
a bouquet of flowers that is large enough to exceed 50 flowers.
"This flower is….’
It was the flower that I put on the altar of Lee Manseok.
***
"Whoa….”
Before filming, he sighed slightly while receiving makeup. It was because Lee Minyoung, who suddenly appeared, still hadn't cald down his surprise.
"Oh no, it's the last shoot today, why do you keep sighing? You've done a great job so far."
The artist who looked at my makeup throughout this work said as if pressing. After seeing each other almost every day over the past few months, we beca close enough to make small jokes.
"Haha…. I'm sorry. Maybe it's because it's the last one, I'm a little nervous."
It wasn't long before the makeup was done. I changed into a ready faded prison uniform and stood in front of the mirror for the final self-check.
“….”
a pale, shabby-looking skin tone. And dark circles that have fallen down.
It really reminded
of Lee Manseok's last mont.
"Then I'll go shoot. Thank you for your makeup."
"Yes."
After a polite greeting, I ca out. The staff waiting outside led
to the set.
"Kang Jinseok is here!"
The staff who brought
to the set said loudly. Then, the staff looked at
in unison.
Everyone looked exceptionally bright because it was the last shooting. Among them, there was a person who caught my eye.
"Lee Minyoung hasn't gone yet."
Lee Minyoung stood alone, distancing himself from the staff.
"I thought you died right away because you didn't say anything after giving
the bouquet."
Are you going to watch the shooting?
That was fine. Seeing him standing proudly on the set, it seed like he got permission from the Sergeant and PD.
Still, it bothered .
That's right because the scene I'm filming today is where Oh Manho goes to the death penalty.
The scene where "Oh Manho" goes to the death penalty.
In other words, it is a reproduction of the mont Lee Manseok goes to the death penalty.
I felt so frustrated because I knew so well what Lee Manseok was like to Lee Minyoung and what Lee Minyoung was like to Lee Manseok.
"This scene is hard to show…".No. I don't want to show you.'
To Lee Manseok, who is watching his brother sowhere right now, and to Lee Minyoung, who is on set.
If possible, I wanted to show such a happy ending, which was not allowed in reality.
A happy ending is only possible in novels, dramas, and movies.
Eventually, after much thought, I went to the producer with Sergeant.
"I… Producer. Let
tell you sothing."
"Oh, yes. I just happened to have sothing to tell you. Go ahead and tell ."
"Thank you. That….”
I slurred my words. Because I was sorry that what I was going to do now was purely my ‘greed'.
‘But I still have to say.’
said Ha Sarang, looking straight into his eyes.
"I'm so sorry, but… "Today's scene. Can't we do it differently?"
“…?”
Ha Sarang looked at
as if surprised and curious at the sa ti. The other staff who heard
made a similar look.
When he asked her to change it right before the shoot… they all looked flustered
But it couldn't stop here. Since you've already spoken up.
"If you change… "In what direction?"
"I want to turn it into a happy ending. It's not that the Oh Manho is being executed, it's being released from prison… In the direction of eting my brother."
I bowed deeply and asked for a favor.
Maybe they'll hear, "The rookie is good at acting, and when he asked them, he asked them to change the story?!"
They deserve to hear that.
"Still…. I can't help it.'
At that ti, the Sergeant and PD put their hands on my shoulders. He looked up slightly and looked at Ha Sarang.
“…" Producer?"
She was smiling with Sergeant. No, to be precise, it was quite surprising.
After a while, I could see why.
"Huh… Oh, what a coincidence. Actor Kang Jinseok."
Coincidence?
Ha Sarang said in an admiring voice as I made a face that I didn't know why.
"I told you earlier that I had sothing to tell you."
"Yes."
"I was going to tell you that, too."
Staff Sergeant and PD handed over a script and said.
"Why don't you change the ending?"
