Daho hyung.
Hmm?
Anh Da Ho, who was drinking the warm yuzu tea that Seo-jun had prepared, looked up at Seo-juns call.
Seo-jun, who was sitting in the living room and staring blankly at the blue window, looked sohow detached today.
Is he feeling complicated because he beca a high school student?
He hadnt entered high school yet, but he had graduated from middle school, so he was no different from a high school student.
He only has three years left until he becos an adult, and he has to prepare for college entrance exams, so I guess he would feel complicated. But Seo-jun seems like he will continue to be an actor even after he becos an adult, so he doesnt have to worry about his career, right?
There was no need to worry about image transformation, which was a stumbling block for child actors transitioning to adult actors, with Seo-juns acting skills.
He also had no shortage of scripts coming from Hollywood or Korea.
Rather, Cocoa Entertainnts Team 2 was worried about the explosive amount of works that would co in after Seo-jun beca an adult in three years.
It was because the range of roles that an adult actor could play was much wider than that of a minor child actor.
Or maybe hes going through puberty that he didnt have in middle school.
Seo-jun, who had gone through puberty that humans couldnt even imagine, would hardly have any puberty left, but Anh Da Ho, who didnt know that fact, unknowingly straightened his posture and waited for Seo-juns words.
He was confident that he could answer well as much as he had studied adolescent psychology in advance.
Dont panic at any absurd question.
Answer sincerely.
Acknowledge that he is no longer a child but a person with his own personality.
Anh Da Ho recalled the sentences written in the book and waited for Seo-jun to open his mouth.
How do you make a search function?
Huh?
As expected.
He couldnt keep up with the thoughts of an adolescent teenager.
Nevertheless, Anh Da Ho tried to follow Seo-juns thoughts and said.
Do you want to make sothing like a search site? But that would be hard for you to do alone, right? Are you going to do it with your friends?
Of course. It would be hard by myself.
It was a library made by reincarnators with top-notch abilities.
And not just one, but several of them had poured their blood and sweat into it.
It was impossible for Seo-jun, who had just opened the door to the advanced library, to make sothing in the library of life.
I tried though
Last night.
Seo-jun read a book that had a search ability among the advanced abilities. And he tried to use that ability, but it didnt work at all.
Crackle crackle.
The ability that stretched out in all directions to find the search term he instructed broke into pieces as it hit the bookshelves of the library.
Rembering the sight, Seo-jun chuckled.
It seed like he had to find and read them one by one until he opened the door to the top-notch library.
But even if I open the door to the top-notch library, Im not sure if I can make sothing like a search function
The current Lee Seo-jun didnt know anything about magics and had no special abilities other than acting. He had a hunch that it would be impossible to change the library of life even if he opened the door to the top-notch library.
Well. Its better than having a desk and a chair.
It was much better than the hard floor.
Huhuhu.
Anh Da Ho said as he saw Seo-jun looking far away and smiling.
Do you want to look for an academy?
Its okay. I was just curious how they made search sites like that. You know how they find things for you when you type in a word. I thought that was very convenient.
Anh Da Ho was half-convinced by Seo-juns explanation. He was planning to find a good academy as soon as he was half-convinced.
He thought so and took out synopses and scripts from the box he brought.
He didnt like seeing Seo-jun looking so detached and blank.
Shall we read so scripts?
Scripts coming up on the table.
Seo-jun smiled brightly at more works than usual.
Anh Da Ho also smiled at Seo-juns sparkling face.
As always, scripts were the best way to blow away Seo-juns worries and stress.
Is this todays?
Yeah. There are a lot of them because its vacation. There are also many plays.
What is this?
Seo-jun tilted his head at the book list behind the list of entertainnt show offers.
As the title said, it was a list of books with their nas, brief summaries, authors nas, and publishers nas.
There have been a lot more since the mirror play was uploaded. They want you to read the books and make them into plays if you like them. They will give you the play rights and the production costs will be covered by the publishers.
Ah. Its for promotion.
Thats right. They think they will make more money by having you promote them than spending money on it.
Hmm.
Seo-jun read down the book list. From books he had read to books he had never seen before. There were books of various genres.
There are old books and new ones that have just been published.
I see.
He left out books that had issues such as hoarding, poor treatnt of authors, plagiarism, etc., but Anh Da Ho didnt need to tell Seo-jun that and kept his mouth shut.
But Im not really interested in adaptation.
Do whatever you want.
Seo-jun put down the book list and turned his attention back to the scripts and synopses.
As soon as Seo-jun picked up a synopsis and started reading, Anh Da Ho also picked up his phone and checked the entertainnt news.
Flap flap.
The sound of paper turning was heard.
As always, it was a peaceful and quiet living room.

[MBS Monday-Tuesday drama, ratings 1.8%!]
-M company is dood lol
-It was already on the edge at 2 percent, but it dropped.
-1.8 percent. Is this cable?
=Isnt this the national anthem rating?
=The national anthem rating is about 0.3 lol. It still has room to go down.
=It will probably keep dropping until the last episode.
[MBS, four-part drama scheduled to air in April!]
[MBS, the debut work of two PDs!]
[MBS, can they increase their ratings?]
***
Wow. Whats the point of spreading articles? Theres no reaction.
Right. How can there be no comnts on the first one?
Kim Danbi and Choi Hyunwoo, who were buying coffee from the cafe on the first floor of MBS Broadcasting Station, grumbled as they looked at the articles on their phones.
Kim Danbi sighed and put her phone in her pocket.
Kim Danbi looked up at the sky.
The cloudy sky seed to show the future of MBS.
My intuition is ringing.
What?
Choi Hyunwoos footsteps stopped at Kim Danbis words.
He looked at Kim Danbi with a nervous face and waited for her words.
Her intuition, which had developed while working as an assistant director, was sounding an alarm today.
Kim Danbi said with a serious face.
Its the sa feeling as when the main actor had an accident. Or when the writers script file disappeared.
Kim Danbi shuddered.
I have a bad feeling about this. Sothing big is going to happen, and not in a good way!
Kim Danbis words made Choi Hyunwoo sigh in relief. He then scoffed at her serious expression.
Your intuition is crap.
No, its not!
Kim Danbi protested, but Choi Hyunwoo shrugged and continued.
The lead actors accident was just a minor fender bender, so he was only a bit late for filming. And the writer had a backup file for the script, right?
Not to ntion, the scene that they fild on the day that Kim Danbi mixed up the call ti turned out to be one of the best scenes in the drama.
And by a stroke of luck, they had a backup script for that episode, which received rave reviews from the viewers.
It was when you said you had a good feeling that things went wrong.
Choi Hyunwoo counted on his fingers the accidents that happened.
A supporting actor got fired for drunk driving, so we had to reshoot his scenes. The final cut got accidentally replaced with a rough draft, so we had to redo so parts. A light fixture fell and broke, so we lost a whole day of shooting.
It wasnt Kim Danbis fault, but every ti she said sothing positive, sothing bad happened. The other PDs who worked with her begged her not to jinx them.
Today is really bad, Im telling you!
Yeah, yeah. Maybe we should buy so lottery tickets.
Choi Hyunwoo ignored her as he walked away.
Kim Danbi followed him, ranting loudly.
A mont later.
-You know thats the work Ive been eyeing for a long ti, right? What are you going to say? You stole the script from my desk and signed the contract before ? How gullible do you think I am?
-But that bastard has a good eye for scripts.
-Hell find out soon enough.
The voice of Park Minkyu from the ergency exit stairs made Choi Hyunwoo whisper quietly.
You better watch your back.
Normally, he would have gloated and said I told you so! But even he felt sorry for his senior in this situation. Kim Danbi could only stare blankly at the stairs above. She never imagined that her bad intuition would lead to her respected senior Gong Heechan losing his work.
***
A noisy barbecue restaurant.
Sizzle, sizzle.
The sound of at being cooked on the grill filled the air.
Are you crazy?
Kim Danbi twisted the cap of the soju bottle with gritted teeth.
Then she gulped down the alcohol on an empty stomach.
Haha.
Is this the ti to laugh?
Gong sunbae. This ti, you were really, no, very wrong.
Even Choi Hyunwoo chid in with a comnt. Gong Heechan gave a bitter smile.
How could you let him take away the script you chose!
How did he find out?
Park sunbae has a loose mouth, you know. He was blabbering on the ergency exit. I dont know who he was talking to, though.
Kim Danbi nodded at Choi Hyunwoos words. If they hadnt gone to the ergency exit to avoid being seen by Park Minkyu, they wouldnt have known either.
What happened?
Hmm.
Gong Heechan recalled what happened in the morning.
I went to see the writer in the morning, but he said he already signed a contract with Kyumin. It seed like they did it last night.
What did Park sunbae say?
Hmm. He said he knew about it for a long ti.
Do you believe him?
Hmm No.
At first, he thought it was just a coincidence.
He thought Park Kyumin also liked the work and acted faster than him.
But Gong Heechans job was to be sensitive to peoples emotions and thoughts.
He couldnt afford to miss any details in an actors expression or gaze.
Thats why it wasnt hard for him to read Park Kyumins face and eyes.
He saw his smug look that said What are you going to do about it?
He felt doubtful about his own kindness.
Kim Danbi chewed on the pork belly as if it was Park Kyumin himself.
Why are you just sitting there?
He already told the CP and the writer contacted Kyumin first anyway. Theres no proof that I chose it first.
He was burning inside as well, but he didnt want to show it in front of his juniors.
He just laughed it off.
It was already too late to change anything, and he had no evidence.
He drank so soju to ease his bitter feelings.
Seeing his pitiful state, Kim Danbi raised her hand.
Well be your witnesses!
Ill pass.
Choi Hyunwoos words made Kim Danbi spit out the soju.
Traitor!
Yeah. And youre an idiot.
Are you on Park sunbaes side?! Ugh. I dont even want to call him sunbae!
Good. Now you can call him PD.
Is that better!
Co on. Both of you, drink so water and calm down.
Gong Heechan gave them so water while they bickered. Choi Hyunwoo drank the cold water and said calmly.
Its not the first ti that soone steals an idea or a script here. Assistant writers get their ideas taken by the writers, and even if they do all the work, the credit goes to the PDs.
But still
And this situation is even harder to prove. Its just two PDs who had the sa script in mind, and one of them signed the contract first. To others, it would look like Gong sunbae was just unlucky. They might even bla him for not signing faster.
Ugh. I should have recorded it earlier!
Kim Danbi said, and Gong Heechan smiled faintly. Thanks to her fiery temper and loyalty, he felt a bit better.
The most urgent thing is to find a script.
Yeah. Ive been asking around, but there are only short plays or long ones. Its hard to find a four-part script.
Find sothing better than what Park sunbae took!
Thats easier said than done.
He knew a good work when he saw one, but he couldnt predict how successful it would be.
The work that Park Kyumin stole was really good.
It was perfect for a four-part series, and it had a unique premise that would attract the viewers.
He felt angry again.
He drank another shot of soju and said with a sigh.
That was the best one among the four-part scripts. I dont know if I can find anything better.
At his words, Choi Hyunwoo suggested.
What about shortening a long one?
Or stretching a short one into four parts?
The juniors nodded at each others ideas. Gong Heechan agreed.
Then lets widen our scope a bit.
Well help you look too! Well crush Park sunbae with our ratings! Justice will prevail! Burn, Park Kyumin!
Is this a shonen manga? You dont win by crushing him with ratings.
As they watched the two juniors argue, Gong Heechan took out his phone from his pocket. It vibrated with a text ssage.
