Chapter 160: You’ve grown a lot

Chapter 160 <Youve grown a lot.>

Han Yoo-jun

Violent Crimes Division 3, Drug Investigation Team, Info Police Station, West Gyeonggi Province

Yoo-jun, you must always live a good and upright life.

Whenever he thought of his childhood, he heard his fathers voice. Be good and upright, be grateful to the patriots and martyrs who made you who you are. Always have patriotism and dont cause trouble to others. It was almost like brainwashing.

He grew up following those teachings without straying, but he had a twistedness in his heart.

He lost his mother early and his fathers oppressive behavior got worse. It was like an obsession. So he ran away from home and joined the army after graduating from high school.

He was successful and recognized for his abilities, but he always had his fathers shadow haunting him. He came out on leave after hearing the news of his fathers death and got into a car accident.

Bang!

With a loud noise, the stand sandbag fell over and rolled away. The people at the action school all looked in one direction. Yoo Yeon Seo, who came to his senses, clenched and unclenched his fist.

Ah, damn.

He forgot to control his strength while thinking about the character he would play in his next work. He blankly looked at the students who gathered around the sandbag.

Wow, crazy!

Isnt that super heavy?

How did you do that?

The cloth pieces that filled the sandbag were spilling out like guts. Yoo Yeon Seo shook his hand as if it hurt and made a flustered expression.

I dont know, Im not usually weak, you know?

No way Thats not very old, you know.

Didnt you say you had a schedule, director? Arent you going?

I still have some time left.

The martial arts director, Park Sung-jin, pressed the sandbag with his hand. It took two people to hug and groan to get the sandbag back up. It was that heavy, but Yoo Yeon Seo knocked it over?

Wow, this is useless.

How did it tear like that?

The directors and students murmured around the sandbag and turned their heads to look at Yoo Yeon Seo. He shrugged his shoulders as he was singled out by their gaze.

Actually, I kicked it with my foot.

Even if you kicked it, thats not an easy weight to knock over.

Did you put some weird device on it to surprise me?

No way. That would be a waste.

Then why is that?

As Yoo Yeon Seo came out shamelessly, Park Sung-jin scratched the back of his head and nodded. What really happened? I cant even knock that over easily.

Are you hurt anywhere?

It hurts a bit.

You should go to the hospital, just in case.

He tilted his head as he saw Yoo Yeon Seo nod. His face was too calm for someone who said it hurt.

Anyway, Ill pay for the damage.

Its okay. Its all thanks to you, Yoo Yeon Seo.

I guess I should go now.

It would be better to leave quickly before he got more suspicious. Yoo Yeon Seo nodded lightly to the students who cheered for him to come again and headed to the van. Lee Taegyeom, who was waiting in the drivers seat playing a game, looked at him with surprise.

You came out early today?

I had something to do.

Going home?

Yeah.

He buried himself in the car seat and opened the synopsis of Snake. He looked for the part where he would play the role of Han Yoo-jun after the car accident.

And thats when it started.

He woke up in the hospital after the accident and couldnt regain his senses because of the sudden amplification of the sound. He heard the voices of the patients, nurses, and doctors, as well as the stones rolling on the street. He went to the hospital again after he was discharged, but the treatment had no effect.

He couldnt perform his duties properly because he couldnt block out the sound.

He left the army and wandered around.

The sound kept flooding in and his headache never stopped.

Was the voice I heard really the persons inner thoughts? Or am I crazy?

Yoo-jun, use your abilities to help those in need. Dont ignore the weak.

Ironically, what gripped his mind was his fathers brainwashing-like teachings. If Im not crazy and I can really read the sounds of everything, and if I can use this ability He got up again and applied for the police exam to use his ability.

What do you hear?

And he met his boss, Son Jin-ho, who looked a bit like his father.

Wow Thats amazing.

What is?

Yoo Yoo Yeon Seo didnt answer. Lee Taegyeom thought he was acting weird again and focused on driving.

He looks a bit like me.

Han Yoo-joon had a car accident and got a strange ability to hear the sounds of everything. It was like a hallucination and he went half-crazy.

The previous works he did, and Snake too They were strangely similar to him. Whether it was a coincidence or he unconsciously chose these characters because they were easy to act

Do I have anything today?

Nothing. Oh! Today is the Korean Film Awards.

Ah.

He had to watch that. Yoo Yoo Yeon Seo loosened his body at the action school and went home. He sat on the sofa and turned on the TV. The commercials ended and the awards ceremony began.

This director will surely win.

Daman was one of the top 10 box office hits this year. He didnt make it to the directors award nominee because of his career, but the rookie directors award was his for sure.

He watched the popularity award and the special award named after the sponsor with a bland face, and he turned up the TV volume when he saw a familiar face among the nominees.

(The Korean Film Awards rookie directors award goes to.)

(Congratulations to director Lee Jung-hoon of Daman.)

Lee Jung-hoon, who was dressed in a neat suit, got up awkwardly. He covered his mouth with his hand as if he was overwhelmed by the applause of the people. He went up to the stage, received the award, and stood in front of the microphone. He was already in tears.

(Uh)

(The director is so happy that hes taking a breath, right?)

(Please give a round of applause for the director.)

The actor who had been hosting the Korean Film Awards for several years helped Lee Jung-hoon, who didnt know what to say first. The audience and the nominees clapped and cheered for him.

Lee Jung-hoon, who was about to cry again, couldnt delay any longer and stared at the camera with his eyes wide open.

(Uh Thank you very much. Thank you to the audience who enjoyed Daman, and to the staff and actors who worked hard)

He took a short breath and stroked the golden trophy in his hand with a loving hand.

(And thank you to Yoo Yoo Yeon Seo, who trusted me and took care of the investment and production and supported me. Without Yoo Yeon Seo, Daman wouldnt have been made. Thank you.)

Yoo Yoo Yeon Seo snickered. Yeah, I did a lot for him. He would have been disappointed if he said that later. He also thanked Yoo Yoo Yeon Seo twice more and stepped back.

He didnt have much time left for his acceptance speech because he hesitated in front. He was about to go down the stage when he exclaimed and came back and said hastily.

(Ah! And thank you to director Cheon Seong-min for helping me a lot.)

There were many directors who volunteered to be assistant directors for their beloved disciples. Cheon director also helped a lot with the filming of Daman. He refused to be credited, but he eventually put his name on the ending credit.

Hell be pissed when he sees this.

He was so famous for being a master at first, but now he was just a director who was crazy about expensive wine. The audience laughed at Lee Jung-hoons behavior.

Well, good for him.

Lee Jung-hoon made a brilliant directorial debut, and Cheon directors movie was also preparing for the international film festival. Vulgar Murder was also working hard for the next years film festival, so he might be able to stand at the overseas film festival with two works.

Lee Jung-hoon went down the stage and the congratulatory performance began. Yoo Yoo Yeon Seo turned off the TV without hesitation.

Now, lets do my work.

He opened the synopsis again, and the phone vibrated.

(Jung Hyun-sik hyung) Yoo Yeon Seo, do you have time?

****

Yoo Yoo Yeon Seo, who received a call from Jung Hyun-sik, stopped for a moment at the entrance.

Hes not the type to push me like this.

He had made an appointment a few weeks ago. Yoo Yoo Yeon Seo was so busy that he did. But it was not good that he suddenly called me out and said that it had to be today.

And the meeting place was a restaurant where personal space was prepared and celebrities often visited. Jung Hyun-sik usually preferred noisy pubs or raw fish restaurants. He liked them because they smelled like people.

Hyung, long time no see.

He opened the sliding door of the corner room with the guidance of the employee and greeted him.

You came early

Yoo Yoo Yeon Seo couldnt finish his sentence and stiffened his body. He read what he was trying to do at once from Jung Hyun-siks atmosphere and expression.

Sit down.

"Okay."

Yoo Yoo Yeon Seo cautiously sat down across from him, following his gesture. He felt like he was a subordinate to a superior. Jung Hyun-sik was acting as Son Jin-ho from Snake'. Then he should also act as Han Yoo-jun.

"So, you're from the special forces?"

Jung Hyun-sik waved his hand in the air. He opened a virtual file and flipped the paper. It looked like he was reading a personnel record. Yoo Yoo Yeon Seo answered in a stern voice.

"Yes, I am."

"Why did you choose to be a cop?"

Yoo Yoo Yeon Seo swallowed his saliva. This was an interview. To join the drug investigation team 3, where Son Jin-ho was appointed as the team leader.

"I wanted to use my skills."

"Wouldn't the police special forces be better for that?"

He hadn't received the final script yet. But he had read the character synopsis over and over. Not only Han Yoo-jun, whom he would play, but also all the supporting characters. So he had to respond as the character himself.

"I think I'm also good at using my head."

"Really? You passed the exam on the first try? You're smart. I couldn't do that."

Jung Hyun-sik leaned back on the backrest and breathed comfortably. Yoo Yoo Yeon Seo also relaxed and let out a small breath.

"Thank you."

"But I heard you're called a weirdo at the station."

But Jung Hyun-sik stopped breathing and looked at Yoo Yoo Yeon Seo again. He controlled his breathing to increase the tension. It was an acting technique.

Jung Hyun-sik, who would play Son Jin-ho in Snake', was a veteran detective in the violent crimes division. He had the ability to read the innermost feelings of everything and used it to achieve a 100% arrest rate. He was also a victim of the traffic accident that Han Yoo-jun was involved in.

So, after the accident that they both suffered at the same time, the ability to hear the sounds of everything moved from Son Jin-ho to Han Yoo-jun. And Son Jin-ho had a vague guess about that fact from Han Yoo-jun's unusual background and rumors.

"You arrested them based on suspicion without evidence, and it turned out to be strangely right?"

"I have a good intuition."

"Is that really enough to solve everything?"

Jung Hyun-sik lifted his upper body from the backrest and put his elbows on the table and clasped his fingers. He stared at Yoo Yoo Yeon Seo with a fierce look. It resembled the oppressive father figure, and Yoo Yoo Yeon Seo avoided it by rolling his eyes.

"What do you hear?"

And Jung Hyun-sik shouted in his mind. To make Han Yoo-jun, who could read the other's mind, suffer.

Yoo Yoo Yeon Seo saw the veins on Jung Hyun-sik's neck and instinctively frowned and brought his hand to his ear. As if he was in pain because of the shout in his mind.

"Ugh!"

Han Yoo-jun was still inexperienced in using his ability. Yoo Yoo Yeon Seo bowed his head in pain, his face turning red.

After a while, Jung Hyun-sik's gentle laughter was heard.

"You've improved a lot."

Who are you to say that? Yoo Yoo Yeon Seo gave a hollow laugh as he looked at him, who had returned to his original self.
