The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Chapter 9.2

Lim Seung Hyun had a surprised expression.

‘Why? Isn't it nice to have a meal together?' Yeon Seo, who thought this, motioned for Lim Seung Hyun to take a seat.

"Shall we have a meal together?"

"Yes. We just need to put the rice and spoons here, right?"

“I-I will do it.”

"Please, take a seat."

Lim Seung Hyun was flustered, but Yeon Seo even sat him down and insisted on personally serving him.

"Seeing you're surprised, you must be well aware that there is a problem with my memory."

"Yes, that's right.", Lim Seung Hyun confirmed.

"Was my personality really that strange?"

"Yes, well… No, it wasn't."

Yeon Seo smirked, feeling amused and a little sorry for Lim Seung Hyun's flustered state. He was supposed to be an elite member of the Jusung Group, but here he was acting like a clumsy amateur.

Yoo Yeon Seo focused on the delicious meal, and the only sound in the room was the clattering of cutlery.

“You said you're from the Strategic Planning Department, right? Who assigned Lim Seung Hyun to me?”, he inquired.

“As instructed by the Managing Director.”

“By Managing Director, do you mean hyung?”

“Yes, he told me to do my best to assist you, young master.”

Yoo Yeon Seo paused and stared at Lim Seung Hyun. Lim Seung Hyun noticed that this was an interview that Yoo Yeon Seo was conducting and straightened his posture.

"Then how much should I trust you, Lim Seung Hyun?"

Lim Seung Hyun swallowed hard.

“You don’t have to worry about that, young master. Trust is something I have to earn while working with you."

"Hmm, is that so?”

"Just think of it as having another manager and use them as you please."

Yoo Yeo Seo's eyebrows twitched. Use whom? It's the same person.

“You say to use as if we're treating people like objects… Anyway, I understand. My older brother hired you, but you will be working for me, right?”

"Yes."

"If that's the case, it would be better if you come in as my manager… But then again, having a business card that says they're with ‘Jusung Group' holds more weight."

Yoo Yeon Seo muttered to himself as he resumed his meal. I still didn't understand. Still, he didn't understand why they had to assign someone to watch over him, especially someone from the Jusung Group. His agency would have provided him with a new manager anyway.

"Do you report my every move to my brother?"

"No. The Managing Director did not put any such condition.”

Yoo Yeon Seo frowned. Wasn't he trying to keep tabs on his little brother or was he just worried? No, it was more convincing to attach surveillance because he had caused so many incidents.

“I think he did it because he was worried about the young master’s memory.” The quick-witted Lim Seung Hyun read Yeon Seo's uncomfortable feelings and spoke up.

"Does hyung always take good care of me?"

"Yes, it's a well-known fact even among the junior employees. The Managing Director and the Vice Chairman take extremely good care of you."

"Is that so?"

Hmm, yes. Let's put our doubts to rest and just think of it as a good sibling relationship. It will only get more complicated if we think too much.

Yoo Yeon Seo thought it might also be sympathy because he had witnessed his mother's death up close.

"Okay. Let's go out if you're done eating."

“Where are we going?”

“My agency.”

*     *     *     *     *     *

“Amnesia? Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)from the accident?”

It's something like that. I remember things here and there, but I can't think about it properly, anyway." 

Han Jun Oh, the CEO of Halo Media, stared dumbfoundedly at Yoo Yeon Seo, who was sitting up straight in front of him. He thought it was strange as he used to speak informally with him, but now he was using honorifics.

"Well, I'm glad you're okay.”

Even though Yoo Yeon Seo was impudent and didn't speak politely, CEO Han was weak-hearted and would not have felt comfortable if he had died. Actually, the fear of how Jusung Group would fare if he died was also a factor.

"So, why did you come here? Shouldn't you be resting some more?"

"Oh, I'm not going to work right away. help me find an acting teacher.”

"What?"

CEO Han jumped up in surprise.

“Why are you so surprised? Even CEO Han knows that I'm a terrible actor too. I received a lot of criticism in the article.”

“So, are you saying you'll take acting lessons from a teacher?”

“"If something is lacking, I have to fix it.”

Is this the same Yeon Seo who had no self-awareness and now he's voluntarily taking acting lessons? Did the world look so different after his near-death experience?

"You-are you, Yoo Yeon Seo?"

“If I’m not Yoo Yeon Seo, who is the person sitting in front of you, sir?”

Yoo Yeon Seo felt embarrassed but maintained his poker face. CEO Han was taken aback and scratched the back of his head awkwardly.

"So, will you arrange it for me?"

"Huh? Yes. If you're willing to learn, of course, I'll arrange it for you."

The dazed CEO Han thought to himself, ‘but if Yeon Seo really turned over a new leaf and got rid of his bad acting, even a little bit, it would be a huge deal.'

Even hopeless works come to life as soon as they catch Yoo Yeon Seo’s eyes. With his background, resources, and acting skills, he could carry out a project by himself. CEO Han was fired up.

“I’ll find you a really good teacher.”

“I will entrust this with CEO Han.”

‘Wow, wow… You trust me? Is this the same worthless Yoo Yeon Seo? My heart swells with pride.' CEO Han stroked his chest. 

‘Well, I guess it's possible to undergo some changes if you can survive a near-death situation. He's finally matured, we don't need to worry about fixing any more mistakes.'

"Oh? A call from Manager Park… "

But that thought quickly crumbled as soon as he received a call from someone.

"Yeon Seo. What's this article about you?"

Yoo Yeon Seo, after being discharged from the hospital, visited the bereaved family and made an insensitive remark, "buy a foreign car with your brother's life insurance money".

Even after the death of his manager, Yeon Seo remained determined and went to meet the victim's family, killing the victim twice.
