315 - Autumn 16

< Autumn (16) >

Miley Kara owes a debt to Woojin Kang. Yes, from Miley Kara's perspective, it was a huge debt. That's why Kara's blue eyes as she looked at Woojin were full of sincerity.

On the other hand, Kang Woo-jin had no answer for some reason.

"······"

He just glances at Kara's face. That lasted for at least 10 seconds. Kara slightly tilted her head and cleared her throat.

"greatness."

She avoided Kang Woo-jin's calm gaze. At the same time, Kara questioned herself.

'Why did I just avert my eyes?'

Even though she did it herself, she realized it was strange later. Miley Kara was a strong person. Well, she deserved it because she was at the top of this tough world of Hollywood. However, the current Kara was strangely different from her usual state. At least Kara herself felt that way.

'Why can't I look at this man clearly?'

Kara did not show this side of herself when she first saw Kang Woo-jin, when she was surprised by his many abilities, or even when they reunited in LA. Her heart, which had calmed down in its own way, began to beat slightly again.

For a while, she was alone and in chaos.

'hmm.'

Despite his indifferent face, Woojin was a little worried about her on the inside.

'Are you okay? No, no.'

This would have happened to anyone other than Woojin.

'Ugh- there's no way it's going to be okay. That kind of stupid thing happened.'

It was strange to ask Kara if she was okay. Kang Woo-jin thought about it in his own way. What does he have to say to encourage Kara while maintaining the quality of his concept? Then, something occurred to him and Woojin suddenly started speaking. Then he spoke English in a fairly low tone.

"Do you like Korean food?"

Kara, who had been lost in other thoughts for a moment, closed her blue eyes.

"······yes?"

"Korean food."

Kara tilted her head slightly and answered.

"Uh-yes. I visit often. When we filmed in Korea, you saw me eating the food you cooked well."

"I did."

"Why Korean food all of a sudden?"

"Do you like spicy food?"

"I do."

Woojin leisurely crossed his legs. It was a directing.

"After I finish working with you and before I go to Korea, I will cook you one of my favorite Korean dishes. It has to be spicy to be delicious."

For a moment, Kara's eyes dilated. It was full of interest.

"really??"

"yes. I sometimes eat spicy food to relieve stress."

stress? Miley Cara laughed a little here. Because she realized why Kang Woo-jin was suddenly talking about something like Korean food or something spicy. Now that man is worried about her in his own way. Because Woojin always seemed cool-headed, it was Kara who could feel the faint warmth of his touch even more clearly.

'Why are you worried? You're such an unusual man.'

Kara, who immediately relaxed, let out a small breath and answered.

"If you're going to make it, make it really spicy. To the point where I'm going crazy."

"You will regret it."

"It's okay, that's all it takes to relieve stress."

"As you wish."

After hearing the short answer, Kara straightened the subject by brushing her blonde hair back from her forehead.

"Thank you, more than that, I owe you. I owe a lot to Woojin."

"I heard."

"If it wasn't for Woojin, I would have lost a lot. In severe cases, I would have lost my life… Even if that wasn't the case, if I had been injured, it would have taken a lot of time."

It was true. Even if the injury was minor, a full recovery was a priority for a star of Miley Kara's level. Therefore, Kara's album work as well as her numerous schedules will come to a halt. If it was a serious injury, it would take at least a year to recover.

Kang Woo-jin prevented that.

Kara, who was not unaware of this, told Kang Woo-jin.

"I can't live with debt, but it's such a big debt that I think I'll have to pay it off over a long period of time."

"There's no need to do that, because it wasn't something I was hoping for."

"I know, but I want you to tell me. I will give examples in some form, but that is separate. Is there anything Woojin wants right now? Honestly, I want to do something right now."

Woojin with a poker face looked at Kara with a serious look. Be firm. You can't just gloss over it. Well, Woojin wasn't the type of person to refuse to give something. Kang Woo-jin's thoughts deepen.

'Hmm- First of all, should I tell you something to make Miley Kara feel more at ease?'

money? No, the money isn't very good. I'm already earning a lot and asking for money in this situation is a bit annoying. Kara's connections in Hollywood would have been reassuring, but judging from what she said, it was safe to say that she already had other connections.

Then.

'ah.'

Kang Woo-jin suddenly feels like he has a good plan. But he wondered if this would work.

'Are you a little Evangelical? Ah, I don't know, just shout.'

Woojin, who showed off his old-timer personality, lowered his voice as much as possible. She had to look sincere.

"Then how about this?"

"huh? what?"

Kara perked up her ears.

Two days later, on the 19th, Bangkok, Thailand. Early moning.

The location is a 4-star hotel in Bangkok where the 'Good Evil' team stays while hunting for locations related to overseas locations. The restaurant, which can be seen only after passing through the lobby, was crowded with people. Because the breakfast served by the hotel was in full swing. A variety of foods were listed in the very spacious restaurant, and among the guests enjoying breakfast, the 'Good Evil' staff were also present here and there.

Soon, a group of muscular foreigners appeared in the humid restaurant.

"Oh, do you like the food prepared today?"

"Haha, that's good. We would have cried if we had dried sausages like yesterday."

Ethan Smith, the stunt team leader, and his team members were busy upgrading the storyboard for 'CQC' and accompanying them on location hunting. Because of the hot weather, the clothes they wear are thin. Thanks to this, their muscles became even more prominent. Soon, Ethan took the lead and picked up the breakfast tray.

-Sigh.

He looked inside the restaurant. Among the many guests, look for the familiar 'good evil' staff. However, the staff members who discovered it seem excited from the morning. Ethan, who had a big nose and was putting his hand on the tongs, opened his mouth.

"Hmm-what's going on?"

The answer came from a large, bear-like man right behind him.

"It's probably because of Kang Woo-jin."

"Kang Woo-jin?"

"I heard that the results of his work in Japan came out well."

"Ah-did you say anime?"

Although they didn't know the details, they also knew the atmosphere that 'Boyfriend: Remake' was good.

"But didn't it only happen a few days ago that the animation was good?"

"It seems like it continues to be a hot topic in Japan and Korea."

"Oh, indeed, that's why the staff are so excited."

"The fact that Kang Woo-jin is doing well also has a positive effect on 'Beneficial Evil.' I heard that he is as well-known as the top actors in Japan."

Another team member joined in.

"That may be the case, but it could also be purely because the existence of Kang Woo-jin is fascinating."

Ethan, who was preparing other food, nodded.

"that's right. While we are working on a large-scale drama in Korea, his previous work in Japan exploded. Actually, Kang Woo-jin himself is in Hollywood. Even working on an album with Miley Kara. It's absurd enough for us to see, but it's also amazing."

"I think he's busier than most Hollywood actors. It's amazing that his stamina holds up."

"He's from the special forces."

"ah-"

Ethan sighed softly and then said.

"Just looking at the tension, Kang Woo-jin can be seen in Hollywood in the near future."

Ethan also vaguely knew that there was already an opportunity. Something about 'Last Kill 3'.

'Why didn't Kang Woo-jin take that opportunity?'

at the same time.

-♬♪

The cell phone in Ethan's shorts let out a ringtone. He was a little surprised when he casually took out his cell phone.

"······Joseph Felton?"

The person on the phone was Joseph Felton, a famous Hollywood producer. Soon, Ethan, who was recalling the face of the giant Joseph, put his cell phone to his ear.

"Joseph?"

Joseph Felton's voice began to be heard through the cell phone. In the eyes of Ethan, who spoke with him for about 5 minutes.

'······Huh, from Hollywood. No, this Joseph Felton is coming for Kang Woo-jin??'

He was quite shocked.

'Are you planning on coming to Bangkok yourself? Leading a team?'

Ethan paused for a moment and then suddenly burst into laughter.

'I see, Hollywood was already keeping an eye on Kang Woo-jin.'

Ethan, who had been talking on the phone for several minutes, put down his phone. The stunt team members immediately asked.

"Joseph Felton? Was it just Joseph on the phone?"

"······okay."

"It's sudden. Public relations? But with Joseph Felton, there must be a lot of stunt teams around besides us."

"No, it's not us he's looking for."

"yes? then-"

"But in this case, this case can become our resume."

Ethan, with a deep smile, muttered softly.

"There will be a party in Bangkok where 'CQC' is being filmed."

Ten hours later.

It was the final night of the 19th in Bangkok, Thailand. The time is roughly around 10:30. The members of the 'Beneficial Evil' team, sweating profusely, streamed into the lobby of the four-star hotel.

They just returned from today's schedule.

The dozen or so members of the key staff, probably tired, said their greetings in the lobby and then moved to their respective rooms. Among them, bearded producer Song Man-woo was the same.

"Ugh, I'm dead."

It has already been more than a week since they stayed in Bangkok. It was a tight schedule, but it was almost finished. A lot of things were revised and decided in a short week. Producer Song Man-woo, who was the overall decision-maker, turned on the air conditioner as soon as he arrived in the room and took off his sweat-soaked black sleeveless shirt.

"It's tough, it's tough."

Producer Song Man-woo wonders if his skin is a little tanned. He collapsed on the bed. He is a big name in the drama industry and has often worked in overseas locations, but he couldn't help but find it difficult every time he did it. He has to leave early in the morning tomorrow too. He lies down in bed and zoned out for a while. Producer Song Man-woo, who was staring at the picture of the palace on the wall, barely managed to move.

'Let's wash up first, then check things out today and have a beer-'

It was time for producer Song Man-woo, who was desperate for a can of cold beer, to wake up.

-Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

His cell phone, which was placed on the table next to the bed, vibrated loudly. Producer Song Man-woo suddenly stood up. Did you get a call this late at night? Because there was a high possibility that something had happened.

however.

"huh?"

Producer Song Man-woo tilted his head after checking the caller.

"Is it Woojin?"

Because the opponent was Kang Woo-jin, who was in LA.

Wait, what is the time difference between Bangkok and LA? He roughly calculated that it was early morning in LA. Producer Song Man-woo, who thought something was strange, put his cell phone to his ear.

"Uh, Mr. Woojin. Haha, it's been a while. How is LA? This place in Bangkok is to die for."

Kang Woo-jin's cynical voice was heard over the phone.

"It's just like that here."

"is it so? But isn't it morning there now?"

"yes."

"What happened this morning? Did something happen? No, the atmosphere is going well right now with 'Boyfriend: Remake'."

"Producer, can you add an actor to 'Beneficial Evil' right now?"

"······uh? actor?"

"yes. Whether it's a special appearance or a cameo appearance."

At that moment, Producer Song Man-woo's brow twitched slightly. It was because Kang Woo-jin's lines were familiar. A technique often used by various entertainment companies and production companies.

Actor tying. Or it can be expressed as plugging in.

It is a picture that can be seen very often in the entertainment industry, so it was familiar to producer Song Man-woo, who is a big name in the drama industry, but it was very strange and puzzling that the other person was Kang Woo-jin. As well as the sudden timing.

'Woojin probably doesn't know that the supply and demand for actors has ended – are they now selling actors?'

If it was CEO Seong-gun Choi, it would be understandable, but Kang Woo-jin was not that kind of character.

'Well, it's a bit sudden, but recently BW Entertainment has been expanding dramatically… Could it be a favor from Dae Pyo?'

No, is Mr. Woojin a great person who will obediently listen to you when you ask him to do something? Either way, it's difficult to understand. Whatever it was, producer Song Man-woo couldn't ignore Woo-jin's words. Isn't that what Kang Woo-jin is like?

'There's no choice.'

Actually, there were some things that were a little embarrassing. Regardless of which actor he is trying to insert, adding a new actor at this point increases the workload. The directing part was like that, and writer Choi Nana also had to write depending on the added role. Whether it's a supporting role, unknown, or rookie level, it's all the same.

The overall production schedule is also a bit messed up.

However, bearded producer Song Man-woo somehow managed to smile.

"Haha, yes. Woojin, if you ask me to do something that shouldn't be done, I have to do it. So who is the actor? Ah, but you know that if you're too unknown, you need to verify your acting, right?"

"Even the PD knows this."

"okay? who? Is it okay to give at least some lines?"

In response to the question, Kang Woo-jin answered lowly over the phone.

"It is Miley Kara."

Producer Song Man-woo casually nodded.

"Ah- Miley Kara? You know, you know. If it's at that level…"

He stopped talking. And then he closed his eyes. He was wondering if what he had just heard was true.

"Wait a minute. Who, who?"

Kang Woo-jin's answer this time was short and clear. There was no excitement.

"Miley Kara."
