by Soraii“The director seems to like Chae-yoon. Look at that smile.”
“How could anyone not like Chae-yoon!”
“He’s completely fallen for him, hasn’t he?”
“So is Chae-yoon’s next work going to be with Director Shin Seong-ok?”
“But is that director famous?”
“Of course he is!”
Ha-yoon was about to smack Ho-yoon’s back when she noticed Chae-yoon’s face, which had turned pale white, and abruptly stopped talking.
“Why does his face suddenly look like that?”
“Huh?”
“Look at Chae-yoon’s face!”
Pale complexion, cold sweat suddenly breaking out making her nape glisten. Due to the forced smile and look in his eyes, someone who didn’t know him well might not realize he was in pain, but her couldn’t deceive his siblings born from the same womb.
Before they could take a step, Chae-yoon returned, smiling brightly and shaking hands with the director one more time. During that time, it seemed all the blood had drained from his body, even his lips turning blue. Just as Ho-yoon was about to call out to Chae-yoon in a scream, Chae-yoon quickly closed the distance and covered Ho-yoon’s mouth with her hand.
“I’m fine. Just… I want to go home.”
“What about the hospital? We should go to the hospital!”
“It’s just for a moment…”
“What do you mean ‘just for a moment’? Look at your pulse!”
Despite not having exercised, Ha-yoon checked Chae-yoon’s watch, which showed a heart rate over 130. He tried to carry Chae-yoon, but Chae-yoon stubbornly stood and left Bloom Hall on his own.
“Chae-yoon!”
“There are reporters.”
“Who cares about that?”
“It’s important.”
Chae-yoon acted like he’s been a celebrity for decades, even though it’s only been a few months. They quickly went to the parking lot and got in the car. Hyeong-seok, after checking Chae-yoon’s complexion, panicked even more and headed straight to the hospital.
“I’m fine, I’m telling you.”
“No, you’re not.”
“I’m really okay now. Really… I was just a bit shocked earlier.”
Despite everyone confirming that his heart rate and blood pressure had returned to normal, they remained adamant. So Chae-yoon went to the hospital but didn’t receive any significant treatment. Both Ha-yoon and Ha-yoon urged him to be admitted, but he ignored their pleas.

Shark, did you tear up the screen with your acting again? My fingertips are all worn out from wiping the screen you tore
Baek Shark’s shabby acting, this is precious
➥ Has he ever acted shabby?
➥➥ Never
➥➥➥ Shin Seong-ok likes to make handsome guys act shabby, so it comes out a bit in “Scar” too… just a little…
➥➥➥➥ That’s false advertising, that scene is acting out shabbiness
When is episode 1?
➥ Tonight
➥➥ Can’t wait
Why did RCY go there?
Did they invite celebrities to the anti-short selling meeting?

They probably didn’t invite them. BSH seems to have gone because he’s special, but I don’t know why RCY went…
Is RCY even famous enough to be called a celebrity?
➥ Your oppa is probably a celebrity too, so why wouldn’t Ryu Chae-yoon be one? lol
It seems he was greeting Shin Seong-ok, maybe BSH introduced them?
➥ He does have the kind of face Shin Seong-ok would like…
➥➥ Shin Seong-ok who loves pretty men and doesn’t even treat ugly men as human…
➥➥➥ That’s why I like Shin Seong-ok’s dramas lol. Easy on the eyes
Looks like he went as an RBS representative
➥ What
➥ What representative
➥➥ He’s getting too cocky after just one minor role
➥➥➥ Hey, his aunt is the president of RBS broadcasting station lololololololol
➥➥➥ He’s more VIP than anyone else lolololol
Seems like he has no sense of reading the room
➥ Not more than you
➥➥ lololololololololol
My sister is in RBS’s PR team, and she says RCY’s sister brought him
➥ Who’s your sister?
➥➥ My sister is just a regular person… RCY’s sister is this person (capture of Ryu Ha-yoon’s profile)
➥➥➥ Wow, I went to this person’s exhibition yesterday
Ryu Chae-yoon’s solo photos are out
(Photo) (Photo) (Photo)
Looks like photos taken right before entering the anti-short selling meeting. The photographer took a masterpiece. The last smiling one is insane. That mouth corner, damn, you can’t get that even with surgery

There’s really nothing to criticize about his face
➥ Is there anything else to criticize?
➥➥ It’s just a saying. With a face like that, he’s set for life lol
His smile is like a baby’s, so pretty
➥ I was there lol. His hyung and noona called RCY a real baby lololol
➥➥ Damn lolololololololololololol
This photo with the soft hotel lighting, the atmosphere is insane. Him turning around with his hair flying is like a painting
➥ He’s a real celebrity. Looks like he turned around thinking they were taking a selfie
➥➥ It’s like he was sent from heaven, for real
I want to proclaim Ryu Chae-yoon as our prince. Like, I want to show him off to other countries saying “This is our country’s prince”
➥ If he’s Ryu Shin’s son, isn’t he already at prince level? You guys sometimes praise Ryu Chang-yoon too
➥➥ Ryu Chang-yoon’s face is praiseworthy too, he’s better looking than most actors
Is there a fan cafe for RCY?
➥ Doesn’t seem like it yet?
➥➥ Should I make one?
➥➥➥ RBS will probably make their own? If you wait a bit, they’ll likely make one. You should strike while the iron is hot
➥➥➥➥ I want to fanboy, argh! At least make a fancafe!!
➥➥➥➥➥ First, go to Twitter. There are tons of people there. Even 2D fans are all over him, saying he has an inspiring face lol

After finishing the thorough examination, Seong-woon was finally able to return home. He paced back and forth in the hallway for a while, hesitating in front of the fanboy room door. Taking a deep breath, he placed his thumb on the fingerprint recognition device of the auto-lock.
With a cheerful “ding-a-ling” sound, the door clicked open. But as he hesitated to actually open it, the door locked again.
“Haa…”
Even this hesitation would be captured by the CCTV. He stared at the red light of the CCTV in the corner of the hallway for a moment, then this time as soon as the auto-lock disengaged, he immediately opened the door and entered.
There’s a CCTV here too. You’d think they’d give some privacy in a fandom room. Thinking of Ryu Chang-yoon, who was clearly a control freak, Seong-woon clicked his tongue.
Before entering, he had expected the walls to be covered with all kinds of bromides or piles of photos, but it was cleaner than he thought. It felt more like a study, except that the bookshelves were filled with Blu-ray discs and external hard drives rather than books.
Seong-woon pulled out a DVD that was within reach. It was the Blu-ray of “Song of the Sea”, Baek Sang-hyun’s debut work and Korea’s 19th movie to reach 10 million viewers.
So he really iwas a fan of Baek Sang-hyun. It seemed like everything was organized chronologically since his debut, with materials related to “Song of the Sea” lined up next to it.
Script book, Blu-ray with director’s commentary, magazines and interview scrapbooks from that time… It could be called an archive of Baek Sang-hyun’s acting career.
There were no updates since Jin Seong-woon entered Ryu Chae-yoon’s body, but it would be fair to say that all the materials from about 5 years were here. Besides the materials, the only things in this room were a large TV, a small sofa, and a side table next to it.
Seong-woon touched the top of the side table, dusting off months of accumulated dust, and opened the drawer. Inside were dozens of notebooks. Seong-woon picked up the topmost one.
Should I take a look?
After contemplating for a while, Seong-woon carefully opened the notebook.
[May 3, 20xx
I watched “Song of the Sea” again today.
Although a bit rough, the acting that clearly shows his freshness is still impressive. He cultivated his appearance well to fit the role of a swimmer, which seems to have led to a rapid rise in popularity, but I think the most important thing was his skilled acting that was unlike a rookie at all.
Sang-hyun says he didn’t take many acting lessons, but strangely, there are times when he delivers lines as if he’s been greatly influenced by someone. This is especially true in his early career. After about two years, he seems to have definitely found his own acting style, but…
While watching the detective duo film “Joint Investigation” that was filmed last year, I saw someone whose acting gave a similar impression to early Baek Sang-hyun. Since this actor has a very long acting history, I wondered if Sang-hyun learned acting by watching this person. …]
Most of the notebook’s contents were impressions of Sang-hyun’s acting. It was surprisingly dry and analytical, which surprised Seong-woon a bit. Moreover, the impression Ryu Chae-yoon had from the drama “Joint Investigation” was something Seong-woon had felt while acting as well. That sensation of acting as if looking at oneself in a mirror, so easy and comfortable… Of course, what Ryu Chae-yoon wrote was just a guess.
Seong-woon started reading the personal parts of Ryu Chae-yoon’s diary, skipping over the acting critiques of Baek Sang-hyun.
[June 23, 20xx
I’ve survived until I’m over 20 years old.
Everyone said I would die before becoming an adult, so is life from now on a bonus?]
Seong-woon unconsciously clutched his chest, full of surgical scars. From the moment he greeted Director Shin Seong-ok at the production presentation, his emotions had been churning strangely, making it hard to breathe.
It was unbearable to think of a child who had lived only 20 years considering life after twenty as a bonus. It seemed even worse imagining Chae-yoon writing that sentence with a dejected laugh.
“Haa…”
Only after taking several long, deep breaths could Seong-woon read the diary entry below.
[June 30, 20xx
The thirst I’ve felt since I started developing a sense of self seems to be growing. No matter what I eat, what I learn, what I do, it just can’t satisfy the void inside me.
Maybe I was born lacking something from the start? My soul feels like a tiny fragment.
July 4, 20xx
I want to meet him once. When I look at him, I feel a little more complete.
I wanted to see him at school, but… I can’t go to school, and he’s busy acting, so we probably won’t even have a chance to meet.
I know everyone worries about me, but… I’m not sure. If I’m not going to live long anyway, it might not be so bad to die doing what I want.]
