Living as an Extra in an Omegaverse novel

Side story Chapter 27 (End)

5 years later.

Se-hyeon walked to the office holding a tablet PC in his arms. It was already past lunch time in the afternoon as he had come back from outside work. Since I was leaving in 3 hours, I automatically started walking faster because I thought I had to go up quickly and figure out the situation.

“Chief Ahn.”

Hearing the sound calling him, Se-hyeon quickly stopped walking and turned his head.

“Deputy Director Yoo.”

Se-hyeon, who realized that it was Yoo Jin-ha who called me, showed a joy that he couldn't hide in his eyes. Outside of work, we are close siblings who raise children together, but at work they are strictly professional.

“Are you going to the boss? I’m on my way there too.”

Yoo Jin-ha slightly lifted the file in his arms and lowered it.

“Are these the candidates who will be exhibiting this time?”

"Yes."

Se-hyeon, who confirmed the selection of several candidates to be submitted to the design award, nodded and walked together. While waiting for his elevator, Yoo Jin-ha leaned his body towards him.

“Do you want to eat together tonight?”

Se-hyeon looked at the schedule on the tablet when the suggestion was made in a casual tone so that others wouldn't hear.

“I think it might be possible if the work ends quickly.”

“Are you coming only with the kids?”

“Will Taenyang fall for me?”

One day, after Se-hyeon was caught inadvertently calling Shin Tae-oh by his nickname, he stopped hiding it in front of Yoo Jin-ha.

“Well, if it were him, he would say that he gets lonely when he eats alone.”

With a sigh, Yoo Jin-ha glanced through the tablet in Se-hyeon's arms and his data and cell phone.

“Isn’t it hard to carry all that around and be next to you all day? Are you thinking of moving to another department right now? “Chief Secretary Ahn?”

When Yoo Jin-ha mentioned Se-hyeon's rank, Se-hyeon shook his head.

“If you were going to go, you would have gone a long time ago.”

As the elevator door opened, people who had already boarded the elevator saw Se-hyeon and Yoo Jin-ha and greeted them warmly.

“At least before he leaves the position of director to me.”

"Huh? Were you talking about me?"

Se-hyeon did not deny what Jin-ho Lee said while pressing the open button and got into the elevator.

“I was talking about the managing director.”

At the sigh in Se-hyeon's voice, Lee Jin-ho asked Yoo Jin-ha with his eyes as if asking what was wrong, and he only gave an embarrassed smile. How can I say that I still remember the fact that Lee Jin-ho chose Se-hyeon as his successor when he was promoted?

Originally, Se-hyeon had planned to go to the headquarters at an appropriate time when returning to work. Jeong Mi-jeong first suggested it to him, and Se-hyeon, who wanted to experience other affiliates, thought it was an appropriate opportunity.

Lee Jin-ho ruined that.

“Well, it seems like there’s still some resentment left over me… Don’t you prefer working here rather than somewhere else? It’s nice to be able to see your alpha all day long.”

“Even though that alpha is looking at me to see what he can do to eat me?”

"Uh? Uh. Then it’s hard to concentrate.”

An office couple shouldn't end up as an office couple.

“But you’re doing a good job, boss.”

“Who said you can’t work? The boss is a very capable person.”

"Okay?"

But what is the problem?

Lee Jin-ho stared at the back of Se-hyeon's head, completely clueless.

“What should I do with what I want to eat?”

Se-hyeon complained to Lee Jin-ho and got out of the elevator first.

“Ah... the problem is here, not over there.”

The kids want to spread it to each other.

***

Se-hyeon, who watched Jin-ha Yoo enter his president's office from behind, then turned his head to look back at the people in the secretary's office.

“Nothing happened, right?”

“Hmm… It looks like nothing happened other than the fact that the boss didn’t come out of the boss’s office.”

On the surface, it may sound like there is no big problem because the boss is working hard, but if you look a little deeper, you can immediately see the problem.

“Have you not eaten lunch?”

“You just asked for a cup of coffee.”

You mean you skipped lunch?

Se-hyeon put down everything he was carrying, went into the bathroom, and came out carrying the box he had put aside. He came out of CEO Yoo Jin-ha’s office at the right time.

“The boss is very passionate today.”

“Did you by any chance say that?”

“That? Oh, yes!”

When asked if I had told him about our conversation about having dinner together, Yoo Jin-ha immediately realized what I meant and answered.

“I think that’s why you work harder.”

He makes it clear that he can't wait to get off work together. Yoo Jin-ha said goodbye in the evening and went down, and Se-hyeon stood in front of the president's office.

I took a moment to catch my breath and knocked lightly on the door.

“I’m coming in.”

Although no answer was heard from inside, Se-hyeon opened the door and went in. Immediately afterwards, the door closed with a thud. As soon as Se-hyeon entered the president's office, the secretaries leaned over and glanced at the closed president's office.

“You’ll work, right?”

“You’ll get scolded.”

What someone said was immediately answered by someone else. She was the one who told Se-hyeon earlier that Shin Tae-oh had asked for his coffee, but she clicked her tongue as if she felt sorry.

“There are a lot of coffee cups piled up on my desk. I think the manager will definitely say something after seeing that.”

She had been working in the secretary's office for a long time, so she was the second-oldest person after the chief of staff. She patted her cheek and recalled her past.

“Someone who used to drink only two drinks a day starts drinking a lot when he loses control.”

“Then you shouldn’t have cleaned it up earlier.”

When another secretary added a word, the woman clicked her tongue as if she had no idea what was happening.

“It’s better to be uncomfortable with the boss than to be uncomfortable with the manager. I don’t know his boyfriend and his husband very well.”

"Is it?"

***

“I guess coffee is flowing inside your body instead of water?”

“That’s not true, because I need coffee to be able to concentrate.”

“Is that so? Then, will you stick it in your forearm like a sap?”

“...I’ll drink in moderation.”

Shin Tae-oh personally organized the coffee cups and looked at Se-hyeon's notice. Since the two-cups-a-day rule was broken, Se-hyeon sulked for a long time whenever he was caught filling himself with coffee instead of rice.

Shin Tae-oh laughed heartily, determined not to let anyone sulk this time.

“I heard you’re having lunch with Yoo Jin-ha today. It’s been a long time since I saw unity.”

“Don’t change your mind.”

"Huh."

Se-hyeon opened the box she brought from the bathroom. I knew this would happen, so I packed it up in the morning, but somehow it didn't exceed my expectations.

“Don’t get tired of working too fast.”

“Okay.”

“Don’t skip meals and fill up on coffee.”

“I won’t.”

“...Work.”

Se-hyeon thought that this was enough and motioned Shin Tae-oh to finish his work. When Shin Tae-oh immediately turned his gaze to the monitor, Se-hyeon's eyes softened.

5 years. In addition to the increase in the number of family members, there were also changes between Se-hyeon and Shin Tae-oh.

Has the love cooled?

That wasn't it. Because Shin Tae-oh still loves Se-hyeon and Se-hyeon also likes him.

Rather, the trust that comes from a stable relationship has deepened. We took care of each other first, and even though we spoke bluntly, we knew that in the end, it all came from love.

While Shin Tae-oh was working, Se-hyeon put bite-sized rice balls in his mouth.

Se-hyeon was wondering how to feed Shin Tae-oh well and catch him...

“Se-hyeon, my face is going to be pierced.”

Shin Tae-oh showed an embarrassed look in his eyes, perhaps subconsciously feeling that he had become prey.

“Do your work.”

"Huh."

When Shin Tae-oh seemed to be concentrating on his work again, Se-hyeon looked at him with a glaring look.

Shin Tae-oh occasionally reflected on whether he had done a good job of having Lee Jin-ho sit next to Se-hyeon, who was about to go to the headquarters.

***

Thanks to Shin Tae-oh's determination that he must work quickly to get out of the company quickly, he was able to leave work with Se-hyeon. The place the two headed was not home, but a kindergarten full of bright colours.

"Dad!"

The three sons come out holding the teacher's hand.

The eldest Seo-jun and twins Do-yun and Do-i. My brother, who is two years older than me, came running with an excited look on his face.

While Se-hyeon wrapped his arms around Seo-jun, who was clinging to his waist, Shin Tae-oh picked up the twins, one in each arm.

“Let’s go see Han-gyeol and Dan-gyeol today.”

The children laughed and loved what Shin Tae-oh said as he kissed the cheeks of the twins who looked exactly like Se-hyeon. Se-hyeon also held Seo-jun’s hand and walked.

"Dad.”

"Huh."

“I mean Han-gyeol. He's going to be an omega.”

Se-hyeon looked at Seo-jun as if he was cute. I have been hanging out with Han-gyeol since I was young, and now we are best friends. It was clear that they got along well as they kissed each other on the cheek and said they liked each other.

“Because traits can only be known when they are manifested....”

Seo-jun thought for a moment about Se-hyeon’s kind explanation and then said.

“Is it possible that Han-gyeol can’t be an omega?”

"Things like that happen, too."

“Then what if I become an omega and Han-gyeol becomes an alpha?”

"Huh?"

Se-hyeon wondered what this meant.

“Then we can get married, right?”

As Seo-jun, who had a physique that closely resembled Shin Tae-oh, was thinking about how to somehow connect with Han-gyeol, Se-hyeon looked ahead in silence. Seo-jun resembles Shin Tae-oh not only in his physique but also in his personality.

“Do you want to marry Han-gyeol?”

"Huh. I like Han-gyeol. I want to be with him forever.”

Seo-jun obediently revealed his feelings for Han-gyeol and soon he looked up at Se-hyeon.

When he looked at his child wondering why, Seo-jun asked, squeezing Se-hyeon's hand.

“Dad, you married because you like Papa too, right?”

Se-hyeon, who had not expected Seo-jun to mention his marriage, was a little surprised, but quickly regained his smile.

"Huh. I got married because I wanted to be together forever.”

“How good is it?”

“I feel like I’m flying through the sky every day.”

He answered at Seo-jun's level, but he was also sincere.

Se-hyeon was spending happy days, feeling so grateful that this novel had become his world.

Hospital Playlist (2020, 2021)

This show was great! Some of the medical stuff was a little too real (for my taste), but the characters were the best! It's great TV, where you just get to follow around these interesting people with cool jobs for a year or two of their life. What's not to enjoy?

What Worked

The scenes with the band. All the friendships. Most of the romance stuff. The thoughtful approach to medical issues. The fact that they avoided most of the typical medical drama tropes. The cute little kids (especially the actor that played Lee Ik-jun's son). All the scenes with the five just hanging out!

What Didn't Work

The pacing was a little slow sometimes, which I didn't have a problem with, but I know bothered some people. Some of the medical stuff, but again that's more of a preference.

The Performances

This is a show with a huge ensemble cast and lots of guest stars. And the writers are good, so they make sure and give each of them a few moments, at least, to shine. There's no way to cover everything without writing a huge novel. So I'll stick to my favorites.

Jo Jung-suk as Lee Ik-jun. This guy was just so much fun to watch. All of the funniest moments on the show were centered around him. All of the cringiest dad jokes also featured him. I never got tired of watching him.

Jeon Mi-do as Chae Song-hwa. I loved this character, and this actress. The biggest "in-joke" this show ever did was hire an experienced musical theatre actor and make her pretend she couldn't sing for two seasons. And it was still charming to watch! She was the heart of the show, and we need more smart, goofy, nerdy characters like this on TV.

Yoo Yeon-seok as Ahn Jeong-win (Andrea). It took awhile for me to warm up to this character, because he felt too good to be believed. But once we got to know him, and saw more about his point of view, he became one of my favorites.

Junk Kyung-ho as Kim Jun-wan. It took longer for me to warm up to this character, but that was mostly the writing. By the end of the first season, I really enjoyed watching him be the grumpy straight-man for all the antics going on. I also really liked his relationship with Lee Ik-sun, even though the arc felt a little manufactured.

Kim Dae-myung as Yang Seok-hyeong. The show did really good on the medical stuff with this character, but less good with the everyday life stuff. He had to deal with some of the most sensitive and heartbreaking situations and the actor and the writers handled them all very well. Worth watching because of this.

Kwak Sun-young as Lee Ik-sun. I saw her in Encounter and she was really enjoyable, especially when they let her break out some of her comedy skills, but she wasn't particularly memorable. She was great in this role. Lots of good chemistry with both her romantic arc and with her family stories. Just charming and funny and the show did a good job of letting her shine. The romantic arc had a little fake drama added, but the actors still made it work.

Shin Hyun-been as Jang Gyeo-ul. The show took its time with this character, and didn't really bring her to the front until season two. But I liked her interactions with the other characters, and her romantic arc was really good too. She handled the family drama stuff in it particularly well.

Ahn Eun-jin as Chu Min-ha. I feel like the character is kind of a mirror for her romantic interest in the show (Seok-hyeong). She got a ton of character stuff and was forced to stand to the side in alot of the medical stuff. Ahn Eun-jin basically carried the romance arc for season two (which is partly on the writers), but she made it fun to watch.

Ha Yoon-kyung as Heo Sun-bin. This was one of the actor's earlier roles, but she did a good job with what they writers gave her. You can see why they started giving her bigger roles later on (especially Extraordinary Attorney Woo), though she was definitely a minor character here.

Everyone else: Again, there are so many people and the guest stars / "patients" show up occasionally later on, which is nice when you can remember who they are. The two med-student twins were fun to watch. The old people antics were enjoyable, and the actors for them did a good job with the drama when it was called for. There were lots of adorable child actors that rarely got annoying. Just alot of good talent showing up when needed.

TL; DR:

I'm not usually a fan of medical dramas. The last one that really hooked me was maybe ER and that was such a long time ago it may as well be the stone age. But I loved this one. The actors were great, the show was serious when it needed to be, but was not afraid to joke around and that created a really good balance.

She's immature in the ways she thinks and acts but when it comes down to it she is a very hard worker. She feels very close to Sooah and is very loyal to her other members. She doesn't like meeting new people and prefers to be close to her girls but she knows how to feign niceness to get what she wants giving off a real two-faced vibe. She is very talented in what she does, that's very evident, but she will pull some strings to get what she wants and is willing to hurt a couple people in order to do that. While she is loud she is also very passive-aggressive not telling you exactly how she feels but will drop petty comments here and there.

Moon Ga-young X Yoo Yeon-seok, even a date with Jung Dong-jin due to continued coincidence

Yoo Yeon-seok and Moon Ga-young and continued coincidences overlapped.

Ha Sang-soo (Yoo Yeon-seok) and Ahn Soo-young (Moon Ga-young) met in a place that could have been the beginning of a relationship in the JTBC Wednesday/Thursday drama 'Understanding Love' (played by Lee Seo-hyun, Lee Hyun-jung, director Jo Young-min, production SLL) aired on the 18th. showed regret

Han Jung-im (Seo Jeong-yeon) went to Ha Sang-su's house and talked about Yoon Mi-sun (Yoon Yoo-seon). Earlier, Han Jeong-im learned from a conversation with Yoon Mi-sun, her regular customer, that her son and Yoon Mi-sun's daughter were dating. Han Jeong-im worried about Ha Sang-su, saying, “Do you know what kind of house it is?”, but cheered him on, saying, “I agree with that relationship.

Park Mi-kyung, who learned Ha Sang-soo's heart, met Ahn Soo-young. Ahn Soo-young said, "What's wrong? Your expression looks a bit dark." Park Mi-kyung gave a different answer from her heart, saying, "I'm so happy these days. I'm so good with my seniors." Then, he said, "So I want to know more about you," and asked, "How was your senior? I thought I would know better. Didn't you really date someone? Did you like it or flirt?" When Ahn Soo-young didn't answer, Park Mi-kyung said, "Well, what does that matter? I'm the one I like right now," and she pretended to be calm.

Jeong Jong-hyun knocked on Ahn Soo-young's room and asked, "Can I come in?" Jeong Jong-hyun, who entered Ahn Soo-young's room, apologized, saying, "I'm sorry. I'm such an ugly person." Then, he confessed her inner thoughts, "Still, I like Soo-young a lot. That's why she is here." Jeong Jong-hyun cautiously approached Ahn Soo-young and kissed her. The two made love, but when Jeong Jong-hyeon fell asleep, Ahn Soo-yeong came out of her room and drank her tea, lost in thought.

Ha Sang-soo asked Ahn Soo-young, "Would you like some coffee?", and Ahn Soo-young replied, "No." When Ha Sang-soo was taken aback, Ahn Soo-young replied, "Please change clothes and come out, please ride", making Ha Sang-su laugh. Ha Sang-soo, who came over to get her coffee, saw Ahn Soo-yeong researching her job transition and lent her her own book. At this time, Park Mi-kyung went to work, and Ha Sang-soo approached Park Mi-kyung. Park Mi-kyung asked, “Shall we have coffee?” and Ha Sang-soo answered, “Would you like a cup of coffee too?” and went to the bathroom. In response, Park Mi-kyung looked at Ahn Soo-young, who was drinking her coffee, and she fell into thought.

Jeong Jong-hyun, who failed the test, packed his things at Ahn Soo-young's house and came back in a few days. When Ahn Soo-young saw Jung Jong-hyun, he was angry, saying, "I haven't been able to contact you for several days." Jeong Jong-hyun evaded his answer, saying, "I wanted to cool my head." Ahn Soo-young found out that she was in the pc room while Jeong Jong-hyun left the house, and asked to talk. Jeong Jong-hyun said, "I failed the test. I didn't know how to say it." When Ahn Soo-yeong comforted her by saying, “I can see her better next time,” Jeong Jong-hyun got angry, saying, “I may not be able to see her more.”

Ahn Soo-young and Ha Sang-soo also failed the job transition test. So Kyung-pil (played by Moon Tae-yu) said, “The branch manager did that,” and guessed that the reason Ha Sang-soo failed was because he was angry with Ahn Soo-young.

So Kyung-pil said to Park Mi-kyung, who pretended not to be anxious about the relationship between Ahn Soo-young and Ha Sang-soo, "Thrilling? .

Noh Tae-pyeong (played by Lee Hwa-ryong) asked Sang-soo Ha and Soo-young Ahn to pay his condolences when he heard the news that a VIP customer had passed away. After the condolences, the two people on the return train talked about failing the exam. Ahn Soo-young asked, "I regret it. You fell because of me." Ha Sang-soo replied, “Of course I regret it.

Ha Sang-soo suggested to Ahn Soo-yeong that they get off at Jeongdongjin Station, and the two got off at Jeongdongjin and walked along the beach. To Ha Sang-soo, who revealed his heart subtly, Ahn Soo-young avoided the awkward situation by saying, "I think it's too late. Shall we stop?" While waiting for the train, Ha Sang-soo asked, “Are you happy?” Ahn Soo-young, who had no answer for a long time, said, “Shall we break up? With Jong-hyun.” Ha Sang-soo looked at Ahn Soo-young with sad eyes, frozen as it was.

10 K-DRAMA LADIES WHO SERIOUSLY KICK ASS

Meet your new girl crushes!

Gone are the days where damsels in distress are the most common trope in K-dramaland. Instead, characters who are or become strong women who speak their minds have become the trend. While there’s no shortage of inspirational leads to admire, characters who can literally kick ass are especially girl crush worthy. Check out some highly capable women who are forces to be reckoned with here.

Gang Seo-hae — Sisyphus: The Myth

As a survivor living in a war-ravaged future, Gang Seo-hae (Park Shin-hye) has learned how to fight for her life. Sisyphus just recently began, but we’ve already seen Seo-hae exhibit close combat fighting and a variety of shooting skills. It’s such a refreshing change to see the female lead save the male lead in her quest to save the world. She’s aware that she’s putting her life on the line, but she remains confident and optimistic. How badass is she when she says “I’m not going to die today” ?!

Seo Yi-kyung — Sweet Home

Sweet Home’s Seo Yi-kyung (Lee Si-young) is a character created for the series and not in the original webtoon, but her character is essential and much loved. As a former firefighter, Yi-kyung makes smart decisions to keep the residents as safe as possible and displays leadership. She shows bravery and volunteers herself for dangerous missions despite her personal circumstances. One of Yi-kyung’s most amazing moments is when she’s fighting the spider monster in the vents. Oh, and did we mention her amazing ripped muscles?

Do Ha-na — The Uncanny Counter

Do Ha-na (Kim Se-jeong) is a Counter who has super strength and is able to sense evil spirits from far away in The Uncanny Counter. Leaping through the air and fighting demons is routine for this Counter. Although she appears a bit gruff at first, we see that she suffers from guilt and trauma due to being the only person to survive the poisoning that killed her parents and sister. Tough and resilient, she’s also a source of support for So Mun who is the newest Counter on their team. Her elevator fight scene is especially memorable!

Do Bong-soon — Strong Girl Bong-soon

Strong Girl Bong-soon centers on Do Bong-soon (Park Bo-young) who has supernatural strength. While she has tried to keep her strength hidden for whole life, Bong-soon begins to stop caring as she pursues a misogynistic kidnapper. Disproving her cute and demure image, she beats up bad guys easily. Even though she thought her strength was more of a curse than a blessing, Bong-soon learns to no longer be ashamed of it. She’s definitely a superhero after our hearts.

Cha Hyeon — Search: WWW

Search WWW centers on three strong professional women, but the most badass of the three is definitely Cha Hyeon (Lee Da-hee). She always stands up for herself whether she needs to smack her cheating boyfriend upside the head or beat up a pervert in an elevator. Having a judo athlete background comes in handy when she’s laying down her own form of justice. She also proves herself to be a good friend when she helps Bae Ta-mi get revenge by wrecking someone’s car with baseball bats. You definitely don’t want to get on Cha Hyeon’s bad side.

Jang Man-wol — Hotel Del Luna

Hotel Del Luna also features a fiery main character in Jang Man-wol (IU). Prior to becoming the owner of a hotel for dead souls, Man-wol was a fierce soldier who slayed many people. While fulfilling her hotel owner duties for over 1,000 years, the Man-wol we see in the present is still bold and deftly overpowers bad spirits. She’s also not above scaring misbehaving humans while being dressed to the nines. If you have a ghost problem, you’ll want to hit up Man-wol.

Go Hae-ri — Vagabond

Vagabond is full of intrigue and action, and the same can be said for Go Hae-ri (Bae Suzy). As a covert operative for the NIS, Hae-ri has to lead a double life as a cover. Her character is shrewd and begins to piece the truth behind the fatal plane crash alongside Cha Dal-geon. Her special training comes in handy when apprehending opponents and escaping risky situations. On top of all this, she’s also loyal enough to go to jail in order to find out what happened to Dal-geon.

Go Ae-shin — Mr. Sunshine

Mr. Sunshine’s Go Ae-shin is both a courageous independence fighter and a member of the aristocratic class. With her parents dying while fighting for Korea’s independence, Ae-shin also takes up the cause on her own and learns how to skillfully use a rifle. As a noblewoman, she could easily turn a blind eye and enjoy the comforts her place in society comes with. However, she chooses to be brave and leap across roofs fighting against enemies and for her country’s sovereignty.

Cha Soo-hyun — Signal

Signal’s Cha Soo-hyun is a detective who leads a team that investigates long-term cold cases. As the drama has two timelines, one in 1989 and one in 2015, we see Soo-hyun as a timid rookie officer in 1989 and an experienced detective in 2015. Tackling dangerous criminals is just another day’s work for the empathetic detective. Even though it’s been 15 years since her mentor disappeared, she doesn’t give up searching for him. The world is a better place with officers like Cha Soo-hyun.

Ahn Eun-young — The School Nurse Files

Having the ability to see the hidden world of “jellies,” school nurse Ahn Eun-young gets rid of malignant jellies to protect students in The School Nurse Files. While she has unconventional weapons like a toy sword and BB gun, she’s an expert at exterminating harmful jellies. There are times when Eun-young dislikes her special ability and wants to be normal, but she ends up helping people even though she doesn’t get any credit for it. Eccentric but loveable, Ahn Eun-young sure knows how to kick jellies’ butts.

Which of these kickass characters are among your favorites? Watch all of them in action on Netflix!

Bora Geum, ready to say goodbye

Geum Bo-ra and Ahn Seok-hwan accepted the breakup.

In the KBS 2TV daily drama 'National Representative's Wife', which was broadcast on the 20th, Na Ra Na-deok (Geum Bo-ra) and Bang Bae-soo (Ahn Seok-hwan) accepted the breakup.

On this day, Bang Bae-soo, who met Seo Cho-hee (Ham Eun-jung), who she met in front of her sister's side dish, said, "What's going on here? Then Oh Pung-geum (Jo Eun-suk) came out after seeing Seo Cho-hee, and Seo Cho-hee said, "This is my old man's house." Meanwhile, Rason Deok was learning side dishes from Oh Jang Geum from her sister's side dishes.

And Oh Pung-geum, who was taking Oh Jang-geum (Yang Mi-kyung), raised the tension by saying, "Come out now, brother. Afterwards, Bang Bae-soo met Na Na-deok coming out of the kitchen.

Seo Cho-hee said, "I'll explain everything to the elderly," and Bang Bae-soo, who heard all the stories, said, "My love, Jang-geum, was a mother-in-law, and the side dishes that I ate weren't made by Na, but just what Ms. Na brought. Is it?" and "I didn't know that, and I fell in love with the taste of Ms. Ms.'s hand. There are times when I'm fooled like this," he burst into laughter.

Na Seon-deok apologized, "Yesterday I was honestly going to tell everything and ask Brad for forgiveness, but my Nam-goo called. I'm really sorry. There were plenty of opportunities to talk. Last time I found out that I was the president of Waterproof Construction, and there have been plenty of opportunities since then. He expressed his sadness. As Bang Bae-soo left, Na Na-deok burst into tears, saying, "It's over. It's over now."

Nowon-joo (Jo Hyang-gi) said, "Honey, my father, the goldsmith, may not have broken up with you? She was just the expression on her face when she broke up." Hyeong-do Bang (Shin Seung-hwan) said, "Is it because he couldn't stand it and broke up after all?" And Won-joo Noh said, "I'm glad it was resolved sooner than I thought. It hurts me a lot too. You are protecting the happiness of the people." He couldn't hide his joy.

Han Seul-ah (Bon Jeong-min) invited Kim Dong-ha (Lee Myung-jun) to a meal with her family. Hanseul's mother (Uhm Soo-jung), who was displeased, asked, "You, Seul-ah, where are you so good? Seul-ah, you don't know? Next, Han Seul-ah's mother asked, "Even if he's angry and annoyed at you?", and Kim Dong-ha answered, "That's not true," Han Seul-ah was surprised. And Han Seul-ah's mother said, "Even if Seul-ah has debts and Jun-i? Afterwards, Hanseul, who was seeing her Kim Dong-ha off, held her hand with Kim Dong-ha and expressed her gratitude.

Seo Cho-hee comforted Na Na-deok by saying, "I'm close to me tomorrow, so would you like to go on a trip and sleep for the night? It's just the two of you, my mother and me." Na Seon-deok said, "It will be a trip to prepare for a breakup. I've been thinking deeply, but I think Brad and I are all here. This is the end of us."

Marketing Blog Tumbler Post Big Hit Entertainment

 Intro: Big hit is a Korean entertainment company. They produce good music and are home to some big name artist. The most famous being The Bang Ten boys or BTS as they are better known by their fans. I think social media is essential for what they do because it allows the company to get their name as well as the artist name out as well as spread the word about different types of music they are working on right now. In turn this builds up their cliental and their artist fandoms grow and more of their music albums to be sold. They are in the Korean music entertainment industry quickly making a name for themselves overseas and globally particularly here in America as of lately. Many Entertainments companies find it essential today to use social media to market their music artist and Big Hit is no different. In fact if anything I would say this is one of Big Hits’s strongest marketing tools and one of their greatest strengths as a company. Big hit has a whole team whose sole purpose is to use various social media sites to het their name and the name of their artists out to as many people as possible at one time.  They do this by updating their artist fans regularly by posting about their everyday activity on both Big Hits social media sites as well as the group of artists individual social media sites.  They encourage themselves to frequently update the SMS as well as the fan café online encouraging them to post selfies and go live. This is accomplished using the V app an app which allows one way video chat and answer questions or just talk to fans normally allowing their fans to have a small peak at their being the scenes in their life.  As often as possible leaving their fans the ability to connect to them.  Big Hits is really good about using every social media tool there is at their disposal. 

 Overall social media use: Big hit entertainment company that was founded by Bang Si Hyck back in 2008 -2009 has been using social media since as early as 2010 to promote their up and coming groups. I have found footage that dates back as early as 2011 of the now members audition to get into their company. Although in recent years it has become clear that Big Hit has defined their practice of using social media as an effective marketing tool, which is probably what lead to their biggest KPOP group winning best social media artist in the 2017 billboard awards. This was a first for a KPOP group like themselves a huge feel considering they had to beat out a lot of big name artist like Selena Gomez, Arianna Grande, & Justin Bieber. This group uses twitter, instagram,Vapp,onlinefan café, you tube, facebook, and snap chat it has also been rumored that a  couple of BTS has some secret fan accounts on these platforms as well as tumbler used to interact with their fans. As far as I can tell the company use both their Twitter & Instagram accounts the most when it comes to the promotion of themselves. They use You tube, the V app and fan café a lot. Their strategy seems simple use the media sites for promotion of the group and its activities and use the other media outlets to build fandom and increase the sales of their merchandise and sales.

  Big Hit seems to use a lot of marketing strategies whether it be promoting their albums with contracted marketing firms to promote a certain album or just using their connections with local radio programs and various music shows and variety shows at local broadcasting stations to promote their artist current activities and keep their name on the front of people’s minds to generate buzz and interest in their groups . This causes an increase in album sales, revenue, and builds fandom which increases concert sales, merchandise sales, and sales for future concerts. The marketing strategy seems to be the use of social media along with its various platforms to promote their artist as well as their products. For example when BTS released their Wings album back in 2016, Big Hit released multiple mini clips of each member with a dramatic back story along with a small snippet of a song each lasting about 30 seconds a piece and the fandom went nuts trying to figure out what was going on.BTS became a hot topic on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and even you tube as several people began to debate what these teasers could possible mean as these theories were circulated around #’s related to BTS began generating more specifically BTS fans. Now this was not a first for Big Hit as they did a similar mini story release when BTS released their third album in their “The most beautiful moment in life trilogy titled “The most beautiful moment in life Forever Young” which included a dramatic video that took the whole fandom by surprise and the result was a storm of comments and theories circulating around the fandom along with multiple hashtags about the video again. However like the mysterious video teasers they had used to promote the wings album. This video preluded a whole dramatic back story that left the fans asking one question. “why? What happened? This was a good move on Big Hits because it peaked everyone’s interest it got everyone asking about upcoming Album and MV release. In fact the interest was so much several you tubers even add videos about both of these campaigns to share their own theories. Even Big Hits current campaign for BTS newest album “Love Yourself” was first introduced with a highlight reel featuring a different back story for each member. All of which were very cute and memorable due to the cute meets the members had with girls featured in their reel and it got the fans talking about who these girls were and how they related to the album as BTS rarely use female actors in their MV’s again this album was released two weeks ago was met with much anticipation and numerous hashtags has managed to top the chats of all the KPOP charts and music shows and has made it on to the Bilboard top 100 here in the US. So you know if to determine the most critical relationships necessary for Big Hit and their success. I would say it is probably the relationship they have with Korea’s various broadcasting stations and music shows like music bank and mnet countdown as the various entertainment variety shows. The relationship they share with local radio stations who often play the boys music their relationship with various news reporters and online news sites who are always writing articles on their activities, success, and their own relationships with different brand sponsors who see their artist model things which currently include puma, BBQ chicken, smart uniform,SK Telecom. 

Data : Facebook BTS’s official Facebook page has 5,223,675 people following on their page and 5,144,119 likes on their page there is a link on this page to Big Hits home page which hasn’t been set up yet so I wasn’t able to see how many people had visited it. But seeing as it was pretty high up in the search bar when I googled it so I think it is pretty safe to assume that I am not the only one interested in this company. However I did find their Wikipedia page & was able to gain a ton of useful information from there. Big Hits facebook page has 1,595,756 followers and 1,573,413 likes There are featured videos and articles about its artist. I’m pretty sure it’s the same stuff that appears on BTS page only Big Hits is in all Korean, while BTS’s has been converted to English for their overseas and international fans. Wikipeida: Big Hit which is a south Korean entertainment company founded in 2005 by Bang Si- Hyuk and is currently home to to kpo idol group BTS and Musical duo Homme, although it previous groups include 2am,8eight,Glam and Lim Jeong-hee, and its more notable former trainees includes Hwang Eunbi (SinB)  and Jung Eunbi (Eunha) of well know upcoming female kpop group Gfriend, well know rapper Iron who was featured on popular television show “sshow me the money” Jin Hyo-sang (kidoh) and Kim Sang-gyun (A-tom)of well know male Kpop group Topp Dogg, Park Seung-Jun (seungjun) and Jung In-Seong (Inseong) of popular up and coming kpop group KNK, Jo So-Jin (sojin)of popular female kpop group Nine Muses, Kim Joo- mi (Zumy) of famous and well seasoned female kpop group Ladies Code, and Ahn Hyung-seob a former contestant on popular audition program Produce 101, season 2. Big Hit which is a private company has 52 employees and has an annual operating income of 35,500,000,000 won as of 2017 and is located in Seoul Gangnam-gu, Nonhyeon-dong, 155-010,10-31 Cheong-gu bldg,2F, South Korea. Twitter:Big Hits Twitter has over 3.6 milion followers and seems to be updated frequently , and is used to promote not only Bighit as a company but their Artist as well. Their most recent tweet which was tweeted just 12 hours ago  was used to share an article written on Naver.com about their group BTS and how they took first place on Music Bank for the second week in a row. The Article goes on to say that BTS beat out another famous artist I.U.’s song “Autum Morning” with their new track “DNA”.  BTS’s official results K-charts was calculated based off the fact that they received 65% of the digital music record votes, 5% music sales, 20% number of broadcasts, and 10 % of Audence preference to give BTS a score of 8,876 points to the 6,376 points I.U. won. BTS historic unseating of Kpop Queen I.U. is just the beginning though . Because this trophy was not the only one BTS has managed to score this comeback. They have also won first prize on MBC’s music show “Show Champion”, and KBS’s 2 TV “Music Bank”, SBS’s “Popular Song” and Mnet “MCountdown” and have secured a spot in Billboard’s top 100, proving that not only are they a very powerful and talented boy group, but that “DNA” is an awesome song and this has already a very successful comeback. (Article is written in Korean, but was translated by @NefariousEunoia and can be found on Big Hit’s most recent Tweet in the comment section, or if you can understand it feel free to read the original article on Naver, link can bee found in Big Hit’s most recent Tweet.) Instagram: Big Hit does have a Instagram in fact it has two… @boys.BigHit which has 2,900 followers, and  is believed it is used to promote the Big Hit trainees to promote their activities, although this Instagram page only has 1 post.  Meanwhile the other Instagram Big Hit has @BTS.BigHitOffical  has 5.8 million followers and has over 346posts each with at least a million likes. Which is why most people believe that this is Big Hits official Instagram, as it is used most often to promote the boy activities. However it is possible that both of these are used by Big Hit as they both have verified and each includes a link to the Big Hit website. (Which again unfortunately has not been set up yet) BTS Amino: This is an app that connected the BTS’S official fan café and its purpose to allow international fans of BTS and other Big Hit group to stay connected to their favorite artist and the company keeping them up to date. Many fans are not able to join the official fan page as its layout is entirely in Korean as is the majority off their uploads. By going through this page which is in English and updated in English (for your language of choice) You can both keep current with events and stay connected to your favorite artist and meet other fans like themselves and even send fan mail via email to the boy and their company. It’s a pretty cool app I had it on my phone in order to research it for this project, but I am considering keeping it as it allows for having fun with it. 

 Assessments and Recommendations Big Hits over all marketing seem to be a pretty successful one. Big Hit uses all their tools at their disposal which means their music and their main musical group at the moment BTS.  Big hit uses their connections with various to secure BTS a spot on the music shows every time they have a comeback, which allows BTS to perform and promote their new song which in turn increases album sales. By doing shows like this in which fans are encouraged to vote for their favorite performer or team it generates buzz online and produces numerous hashtags with BTS as part of the subject line. This in turn generates more fans, more interest in their group by increasing sales of future concerts and merchandise sales. Another thing this does is bring in perspective companies who are looking for bright young stars to model clothing lines or participate in photo shoots which gives another line of revenue through group contracted work in which Big Hit gets a portion. So as you can see social media plays a key role and works hand in hand w Big Hits as well as other marketing tools to help promote their product. Which in ths case shows they have a solid foundation and a lot of potential as a group. Recently it has become a trend to cast popular idols K-dramas and variety shows in turn this reaches a new demographic and a new population. This boosts the drama rating thanks to KPOP fans it draws the prospective Kdrama fans into the KPOP fandom therby once again increasing their sales of merchandise and concerts. In addition to bringing the artist appearance fee plus the fee for singing the show OTS all of which Big Hit gets a cut of it also means it is sure to buzz among the fans of the said artists and groups and KDrama fans everywhere meaning more online articles, mentions, reviews and hashtags ultimately building more revenue coming in as the show fans will purchase the OTS on I tunes if not. Another new marketing concept for Big Hit whom had been using the boys beyond the scenes you tube channel to shoot Bangtan Bombs. Also BTS appears in a similar show back 2014-2015 called “American Hustle Life” it was shot in LA despite the boys of KPOP not being very well known at the time it was received pretty well and most of the episodes can still be found on you tube today all with a pretty significant amount of views as we know leads to more social media posts. Overall I would say that their marketing strategy is a pretty solid one. I don’t really have anything to recommend in the way of changing things, what they are doing seems to be working. I would however say that Big Hit does need to get their website up and running soon.

Living as an Extra in an Omegaverse novel

Chapter 12

Se-hyeon believed that there was a delicate boundary between a boss and a secretary. As a secretary, he inevitably had glimpses into his boss's personal life, and there was a certain level of involvement that differed from the typical relationships encountered in the workplace.

He thought that it was the role of a secretary to repeatedly blur and redraw that line. Keeping his own emotions in check and not crossing that boundary was of utmost importance, and he had managed to maintain that line so far.

Se-hyeon let his hand drop for a moment before swiftly swinging it forcefully.

Towards Byeon-tae's head.

[TL Note: "Byeon-tae" should be translated as 변태냥이 (Byeon-tae-nyang-i), which means "Perverted Cat". Same as when Se-hyeon calls him Taenyang. He's been calling his boss Perv Cat lmao]

"Oof."

Tae-oh instinctively dodged the swinging hand aimed at his head. As Se-hyeon's hand ended up swinging in the air, he calmly maintained his posture as if nothing had happened. Tae-oh laughed, as if he knew it wouldn't connect and found it amusing.

"I'll escort you to the main office."

"Is that so?"

Tae-oh nodded and got into the car on his own accord. ... Once again, he took the passenger seat.

I wish he would go to the back seat this time.

"Oh, by the way, Secretary Ahn."

Tae-oh rolled down the window and tilted his head slightly.

"What I just said wasn't addressed to Secretary Ahn. It was directed at a man named Ahn Se-hyeon. So, make sure to clearly distinguish between work and personal matters."

"But... I am Secretary Ahn, right?"

Can I really ask a man who speaks like that to sit in the back seat?

***

After entering the main office, Tae-oh headed straight for the elevator without hesitation. There was no one to stop him, and Se-hyeon quietly stood beside him, pressing the button for the top floor before the elevator doors closed.

"I will wait."

"I'm having a cup of coffee."

"Understood."

Although Se-hyeon contemplated waiting nearby since he didn't know when Tae-oh would come out, outwardly he behaved as if following the CEO's instructions.

Just before the elevator doors closed, Tae-oh squinted one eye.

It could have been a wink, but since the other eye was obscured by the door, it couldn't be seen.

As the elevator doors closed and Se-hyeon realized he was separated from Tae-oh, the tension in his rigid back was released. From the moment he met Tae-oh today, he couldn't relax for even a single moment.

"Work and personal matters."

Though it seemed like he couldn't distinguish between work and personal matters more than anyone else, if you delved into his words, he was someone who skillfully used that line to his advantage.

"I think I might have feelings for Mr. Ahn Se-hyeon. What do you think?"

Calling me by my name, Ahn Se-hyeon, with a sweet voice that felt like harassment.

"No, I'm not sure either, but it feels like I'm falling for Secretary Ahn..."

When I try to refuse, he treats me as if it's never happened before.

Se-hyeon muttered as he watched the elevator Tae-oh boarded ascend.

As Se-hyeon watched Tae-oh board the elevator and ascend, he muttered to himself.

"You're such a troublesome kitty."

***

Tae-oh entered the chairman's office without slowing down his pace. He rushed towards a middle-aged woman standing up from her seat and pulled her into an embrace.

Jeong Mi-jeong, nestled in Tae-oh's arms, lightly tapped his shoulder.

"Now it's difficult for me to receive your embrace, now that you've grown so big."

"Well, with a big size comes big cuteness, right?"

Tae-oh held her tightly and playfully rubbed his face against hers, causing Jeong Mi-jeong to laugh as if she couldn't resist.

"How far is it from here?"

"Should I come here often, then?"

"No."

Tae-oh straightened his posture, showing a hint of disappointment.

"I didn't mean for you to come often, just a greeting. Please, have a seat."

Jeong Mi-jeong gently pushed her son's shoulder, guiding him to sit on the sofa. Tae-oh reluctantly stepped back and took a seat, as if he had no choice.

"Your mother is different from others."

"Because she's different from others, she was able to give birth to you. Do you know how proud I am of you?"

Jeong Mi-jeong approached the coffee machine placed on one side. She pressed the buttons to make coffee and brought it over along with some snacks. Placing them in front of her son, Jeong Mi-jeong lifted her own coffee cup.

"Thank you for being born."

"Yeah, you really need to be filial. It was challenging to carry and give birth to you, seeing you grow up so well from inside my womb."

"How long are you going to keep doing that?"

"Until you get married."

Tae-oh paused for a moment, about to take a sip of his coffee, as he heard Jeong Mi-jeong's casual remark.

"Wait, you're not seriously suggesting that I should get married, are you? That's so old-fashioned."

"I guess I still dislike being called old-fashioned. Ah, nya."

With Tae-oh putting down his coffee cup, it seemed his expectations were not met.

"Then why did you call me here?"

"I wanted to observe and maybe interfere a bit in your dating life since your marriage is your own choice."

"Aren't dating and marriage similar?"

"I haven't finished my point yet. Don't jump to conclusions and listen to me."

Jeong Mi-jeong lowered her head.

"There was someone who saw you at the hotel."

"Just went there once, and it's already exposed. Is my presence that noticeable?"

"It's because they had an interest in you, that's why they noticed."

"Who is it?"

"The person who wants to date and marry you. Jinmyeong Group's second daughter."

Jeong Mi-jeong revealed it as if it was no big deal.

"Who is it?"

Tae-oh lifted his coffee cup once again.

"Is my head not working because of the caffeine... I mean, I don't know who it could be."

"Even without caffeine, you wouldn't know. Have you been interested in anyone?"

"But it's strange. If someone saw me at the hotel, shouldn't their interest diminish? I went with someone who seemed nice at the time."

If they had heard our conversation up close, they would have known we were a good match.

"I don't know. I've never seen you with anyone, so maybe it's fortunate."

"Now, about that statement..."

Before Tae-oh could ask how he should interpret it, Jeong Mi-jeong swiftly changed the subject.

"Anyway, that daughter likes you."

"Then, if I were to date that second daughter, would that make you happy, Mother?"

"Now I see, you're old-fashioned. Assuming that talking about someone means wishing you well with that person is a prejudice. Jinmyeong Group is contacting me. They want to meet and explore potential business opportunities beyond a marriage proposal."

Jeong Mi-jeong turned her gaze away, her phone ringing loudly.

"I'm not really into that. If it's love and you want to marry, that's one thing, but a strategic marriage? I don't like the idea because if problems arise later, it'll be a headache, and I don't have a valid reason to refuse."

Jeong Mi-jeong motioned for Tae-oh to look at her phone.

"So, what I'm saying is, date someone."

As Tae-oh stared at the name of Jinmyeong Group on the screen, Jeong Mi-jeong followed up with a statement.

"Right now."

With the phone pressed against her ear, she greeted with a businesslike laugh.

"Long time no see, Chairman Jin. Yes, of course. I hope you've been well. Oh, speaking of which, I just had a conversation with Tae-oh, and it seems he's really in a relationship."

When Jeong Mi-jeong gestured for Tae-oh to leave, he stood up without saying a word. So, this was the purpose of his presence.

As calmly as he entered, Tae-oh left the room and couldn't take his eyes off Se-hyeon standing outside. Whatever he was thinking just a moment ago, nothing seemed to come to mind now.

No, something did come to mind.

"I'm on my way after meeting Mother."

Tae-oh briefly glanced at Se-hyeon's neck.

"My mother told me to date."

The aroma of coffee emanating from him was shaking people's hearts like pheromones.

"Right now."

"It's clear that despite having had a lot of conversations with his mother, this is the only thing that comes to Tae-oh's mind at the moment."

Se-hyeon's gaze becomes more serious. It's not that he's startled by my words, but rather, he seems to be examining the situation. Yes, it's hard to follow his calmness.

"I understand. I will contact Yoo Jin-ha."

Right, Yoo Jin-ha. Jin-ha was mentioned. But Tae-oh immediately thought of Se-hyeon himself.

"But before that..."

Tae-oh grabbed Se-hyeon's hand, which was holding the phone as if enclosing it within his own palm.

"We agreed to explore places where we can go on a date with Jin-ha. Let's go and check it out."

And with that, he pulled Se-hyeon's hand, not letting go.

"Come to think of it, there was a decent barbecue restaurant nearby... The chairs might be a bit uncomfortable, but the slightly charred meat there is unbeatable. How about that place?"

It may not be considered a formal first date, but at least they can be together. As Tae-oh starts asking about the place, his hand slips away from the grip. He repeatedly clenches and opens his hand, feeling the emptiness, and Se-hyeon speaks up.

"I need to go to the office now, but should we meet again during lunchtime? I'll prepare separate clothes to avoid any lingering smells."

"Oh, I see. It's still morning."

Tae-oh mutters dejectedly, turning away.

"I was too hasty."

The first date proposal was rejected.

Disappointed, Tae-oh walks ahead, unable to hide his regret, behind him, he softens his expression at the sound of Se-hyeon's footsteps following closely.

As Tae-oh walks, unable to hide his disappointment, he softens his expression at the sound of Se-hyeon's footsteps following closely. He wonders why he feels a sense of satisfaction when Se-hyeon follows him wherever he goes.

"That café where we had coffee earlier was quite nice. Would you like to stop by for a moment?"

A smile forms on Tae-oh's lips as he walks ahead.

Living as an Extra in an Omegaverse novel

Side story Chapter 9

“Now that we’re gathered like this, it feels like we’re having a meeting.”

“Cough.”

This case was caught while Se-hyeon was eating black sesame porridge served as a pre-dinner dish.

As Se-hyeon was coughing lightly, Shin Tae-oh handed him a glass of water. He took the glass of water and drank it quickly to try to calm himself down, but the feeling of a foreign body was still stuck in his throat and he felt like he would continue to cough.

Se-hyeon covered his mouth and looked at Jeong Mi-jeong, barely holding back the cough that was about to break out.

“Didn’t you tell your parents what you two were up to?”

When Jeong Mi-jeong asked Shin Tae-oh, Se-hyeon looked at the expressions on his parents' faces. He had mentioned that he was dating someone, and that he would bring that person to greet them later when the time was right.

So, I didn't say I was dating anyone...

'Why is no one surprised?'

These are the people who should have been as surprised as Se-hyeon when the word ‘family reunion’ came out. I looked at Shin Tae-oh to see if he had said something, but he shook his head slightly. If not Shin Tae-oh, how did you know?

Ahn Baek-cheon said, pushing away the untouched porridge.

“Of course the person who visits me every time I go to the hospital is the person you’re dating.”

"Uh… ”

While Se-hyeon was dumbfounded and couldn't find the words to reply, Kim Hye-sun also added something.

“The world has gotten better these days. In the past, ordering via cell phone was too complicated and difficult, so I had to go and buy it in person, but now everything can be done with just one phone call? Who can tell me that?”

This probably means that Shin Tae-oh informed me.

In the end, it was a situation where Se-hyeon had no choice but to know even if he didn't say that the person he was dating was Shin Tae-oh.

"One phone call...."

Jeong Mi-jeong looked at Shin Tae-oh carefully, pulling out meaningful words from Kim Hye-sun's words.

“I was wondering why our manager keeps leaving.”

“I really wanted to see my father.”

Shin Tae-oh interrupted Jeong Mi-jeong and hugged Shin Ki-han.

“I was already planning to quit everything I was doing and come to Korea when they said you were in the operating room.”

“It’s a good thing you didn’t do that.”

Shin Ki-han also said that if Shin Tae-oh had done something wrong, he would have quit what he was doing and come back. Fortunately, the surgery went well, and Shin Tae-oh recovered quickly.

Therefore, Shin Tae-oh did not feel disappointed at all that Shin Ki-han could not come. In fact, his expression was relaxed.

“Do you like the food here?”

Maybe that's why Shin Tae-oh immediately turned her attention to Kim Hye-sun.

“Huh? Uh. It’s so delicious, and how can each and every item be made with so much care?”

"Yes? The gift I gave you includes a meal voucher for this restaurant, so please come again.”

As Shin Tae-oh devoted all his attention to Kim Hye-sun, Shin Ki-han looked at his son with sad eyes.

“Wasn’t the reason we decided to meet today to see Dad?”

I was looking forward to meeting my son today for the first time in several years, but I was pushed down the rankings.

“I guess the reunion was more important than your own life.”

Jeong Mi-jeong poked her husband in the side to stop him from becoming depressed. Shin Ki-han, who came to his senses, saw Se-hyeon.

“He looks better in person than when I heard him on the phone.”

I often heard Se-hyeon's story from my wife. She told me that our son had his first lover and told me who he was. She also told me about the stories they shared while having a meal when they met occasionally.

"Thank you."

Se-hyeon followed Jeong Mi-Jeong and saw Shin Ki-Han.

What should I call it?

"...Father."

“Hmm.”

Like Se-hyeon, Shin Ki-han covered his mouth with his fist and cleared his throat, as if something was stuck in his throat.

…Did I say something wrong?

I guess it's because it's the first time we've met and it's a private occasion.

“Father, please drink some water here.”

At that time, Se-hyeon saw Shin Tae-oh handing a glass of water to his father and laughed.

Father here, father there too.

Yes, I'm calling my father honourably, so what's wrong with that?

Se-hyeon scooped up some of the next salad and placed it in front of Shin Ki-han.

“Father, please eat.”

"Thank you."

“You can let go. Mother, please eat it too.”

“Okay. This is delicious. Se-hyeon, you eat a lot too.”

Even though she was called “mother” instead of “chairman,” Jeong Mi-jeong didn’t take it seriously.

Like the multi-course meal, the meeting ceremony began to progress to a full-fledged main course.

***

Let's summarize.

Shin Tae-oh met and contacted Se-hyeon's parents from time to time. Se-hyeon also met with the chairman from time to time.

We didn't tell that to each other.

The reason is?

Well.

There was no particular reason why Se-hyeon did not tell Shin Tae-oh right away.

It really was a case where I thought of the Chairman when I was passing by the headquarters and contacted him...

Shin Tae-oh, well, it would be similar.

As a result, there was no difficulty in communicating with each other's parents.

“I’m thinking about applying the IC event to other affiliates as well. Of course, we won’t leave out the headquarters.”

“I will also select a few areas for improvement and send them to you.”

When Jeong Mi-jeong picked up the tteokgalbi (grilled short rib patties) and placed it in Se-hyeon's personal bowl, Se-hyeon immediately took it and answered.

“It would be nice if Se-hyeon did that. But what was it like when you tried it yourself?”

After taking a bite of the tteokgalbi, Se-hyeon pursed his lips and was lost in thought.

“I liked it because it was different from existing events.”

“Okay? It’s worth it to be busy while Tae-oh is preparing.”

When Jeong Mi-jeong put the japchae in the bowl, Se-hyeon picked it up and ate it right away.

Shin Ki-han looked at the two curiously. Because I was in a foreign country, it was different to see someone I had only heard of on the phone face to face.

This time, Shin Ki-han saw his son. I didn't expect that the reunion between father and son would be so unusual. Rather...

“Please call me if you like staying here.”

"Why?”

“I will extend the deadline. Stay as long as you want and then head down. No, would you just like to stay here until the next inspection? Please keep that gift so you can use it later.”

“Oh, one day is enough. This is enough. I never thought I would sleep in a hotel in my life.”

“So, you should stay here without any regrets this time.”

...He was having trouble somewhere else.

'It's Tae-oh.'

Your father is here.

Your father, who flew to the other side of the world to build a company, is here...

“They say the next test will take a long time, so eat well and go.”

“Is that so?”

My father also has to stay for a few days and then leave again. For some reason, I couldn't open my mouth because I felt like if I said something like that, it would end with just saying, "Have a nice trip."

Shin Ki-han looked at his obnoxious son and then smiled as if breaking down.

L'I'm still glad.'

I always cared about Tae-oh. He wondered how many times he should quit his job because he felt like he had been neglecting his son to grow the company.

In fact, even when Tae-oh was a student, he had a professional manager by his side for a lot of time, but it was no use. No matter how hard the couple tried, the emptiness that was deeply embedded in their son did not go away.

The moment Jeong Mi-jeong realized that the two of them alone could not make up for her son's shortcomings, she made a bold decision.

Tae-oh: Let’s wait until we can get what we want.

The son I met again changed. The emptiness that had swirled inside was pushed away and appeared filled with various emotions.

'Then that's it.'

He received so many greetings that he already had enough.

Shin Ki-han looked at Shin Tae-oh's lover with a much more at ease mind.

Se-hyeon clearly had a calm feeling as he ate a large piece of rib without showing any signs of it. Even though his voice is not loud, he has good pronunciation, so he can be heard clearly and attracts attention even though he does not make big gestures.

It was even easier to compare them as Shin Tae-oh, who had a striking face with dark features, was next to him. Se-hyeon may not have a very flashy appearance, but he has a charm that keeps drawing attention.

'Smile’

The reason seemed to be the smile that definitely changed the mood once it was made. Because you have to keep your eyes peeled to see the smile. He was an unusual man in that respect.

Shin Ki-han, who was looking at Shin Tae-oh and Se-hyeon alternately, discovered something else.

'Come to think of it…’

Strangely, I saw my wife.

She was still holding her chopsticks, but her rice was not even half eaten.

I thought she ate a lot of side dishes, but that wasn't the case. She was always busy moving things to Se-hyeon.

The situation was the same over there.

Mrs. Kim Hye-sun personally sliced her fish and placed it on Shin Tae-oh's rice. Shin Tae-oh willingly took the large piece of meat into his mouth.

‘This is not some kind of mother bird.’

Shin Ki-han looked at the table. The previous course meals were already empty, and the final table setting for 6 people was almost empty. Two people were ordering 6 servings of meat at a meat restaurant, but two people were ordering Korean food and preparing it for dinner.

They said it wasn't a meeting, but it was really just a meal.

9 Times We Had a Serious Case of Second Lead Syndrome

When your heart aches for the second lead 😭

K-dramas usually have us rooting for the main leads, but every once in a while there’ll be a swoon-worthy second lead who’ll make our hearts ache. These second leads appear to be the better match in our eyes, but the main lead gets selected instead, much to our frustration. Check out some impressive second leads who swayed our hearts and had us cheering for them here.

Han Ji-pyeong | Start-Up

Start-Up is the latest drama to be buzzing with second lead syndrome. From the first episode, Han Ji-pyeong (Kim Seon-ho)’s heart-wrenching story makes you wish for his happiness. As an orphan, he had nowhere to go until kind grandmother Choi Won-deok (Kim Hae-sook) helped him out. He’s the real author behind the letters that Seo Dal-mi (Bae Suzy) found much comfort and love in. While he has a tough exterior, Ji-pyeong goes out of his way to help Dal-mi and her grandmother. He’s got such a soft heart hidden beneath his cold words.

Kim Jung-hwan | Reply 1988

Reply 1988 had us guessing the identity of Sung Deok-sun (Lee Hye-ri)’s husband until the end of the series. The older version of her husband seemed pretty grumpy, so most assumed the husband would be Kim Jung-hwan (Ryu Jun-yeol). After all, Deok-sun and Jung-hwan clearly had feelings for one another. Jung-hwan was so cute to watch as he secretly doted on Deok-sun. Unfortunately, Jung-hwan couldn’t confess in time. While his character didn’t end up with the girl, actors Lee Hye-ri and Ryu Jun-yeol became a real life couple!

Goo Dong-mae | Mr. Sunshine

In Mr. Sunshine, there are actually three men who care about leading lady Go Ae-shin (Kim Tae-ri). However, Goo Dong-mae (Yoo Yeon-seok) is the one who incites second lead syndrome. They share a special history due to Ae-shin helping save Dong-mae’s life when they were children. Dong-mae has very intense feelings for Ae-shin which he struggles to admit. Ultimately, he does whatever he can to ensure her safety and wellbeing.

Baek In-ho | Cheese in the Trap

The main lead of Cheese in the Trap, You Jeong (Park Hae-jin), is a bit hard to root for. He hides his true nature from people, but Hong Seol (Kim Go-eun) sees through his facade. Jeong’s twisted and manipulative personality begins to affect Seol, but he suddenly becomes nice and asks her out. While she’s still trying to figure him out, second lead Baek In-ho (Seo Kang-jun) enters the picture. He’s much more normal and caring, which makes us want Seol to pick him instead.

Han U-Tak | While You Were Sleeping

While You Were Sleeping has a strong likeable male lead in Jeong Jae-chan (Lee Jong-suk), but swoon-worthy Han U-tak (Jung Hae-in) definitely gives us second lead syndrome. U-tak develops feelings for Nam Hong-ju (Bae Suzy) as the three of them work to prevent tragedies. U-tak is a true gentleman and never makes Hong-ju feel uncomfortable due to his feelings. He’s always there for her, looks hot in uniform, and has such an adorable smile.

Go Cheong-myeong | Hotel Del Luna

Hotel Del Luna shows Go Cheong-myeong (Lee Do-hyun) and Koo Chan-sung (Yeo Jin-goo) as Jang Man-wol (IU)’s love interests. What made Cheong-myeong such a strong second lead was their sad love story that began over a thousand years ago. Man-wol was unaware of how everything Cheong-myeong did was to help spare her life. While she wondered if Chan-sung was the reincarnation of her first love Cheong-myeong, Cheong-myeong had actually been by her side all those years.

Baek Gyeong | Extraordinary You

Extraordinary You’s second lead, Baek Gyeong (Lee Jae-wook), seems like a bad boy jerk at first. While he is the destined romantic partner for Eun Dan-o (Kim Hye-yoon) in their comic book world, Dan-o fights against her fate to find her own true love. However, even after Gyeong realizes the truth about their world, he finds himself still caring for Dan-o. Eventually, he wants Dan-o to feel free to be herself, so he let’s her go. While we’re happy for Dan-o, we can’t help but wish for a happier ending for Gyeong.

Kim Shin-hyuk | She Was Pretty

She Was Pretty stars the always lovable Park Seo-jun, but the character Shin-hyuk (Choi Si-won) gives us major second lead syndrome. Hye-jin (Hwang Jung-eum) goes unrecognized by her childhood friend Sung-joon (Park Seo-jun), but Shin-hyuk sees past her appearance and likes her for who she is from the beginning. Plus, he’s super charming and goofy, never failing to make Hye-jin smile. Shin-hyuk loves Hye-jin just as she is and loves her freckles and frizzy hair to boot.

In Guk-doo | Strong Girl Bong-soon

Do Bong-soon (Park Bo-young) crushes on In Guk-doo (Ji Soo) in Strong Girl Bong-soon for the longest time. Guk-doo is always concerned for Bong-soon and makes her safety a priority. Unfortunately, Guk-doo doesn’t express that he also has feelings for Bong-soon in time which leads Bong-soon to fall in love with Ahn Min-hyuk (Park Hyung-sik). Guk-doo is heartbroken at his missed timing, but he ends up having a cute bromance with Min-hyuk.

GET READY FOR THE SCHOOL NURSE FILES WITH THESE HIGH SCHOOL K-DRAMAS SCENES YOU KNOW AND LOVE

The School Nurse Files might become your new favorite high school drama!

The highly buzzed about series The School Nurse Files is finally here! The School Nurse Files centers on high school nurse Ahn Eun-young (Jung Yu-mi) who works with Classical Chinese teacher Hong In-pyo (Nam Joo-hyuk) to protect students. High school dramas have a special appeal that attracts a variety of different people.

From coming-of-age stories to youthful romance, there’s something relatable for everyone. Signature scenes and locations add to the familiar charm. We love the memories from high school as we adults would like to escape to simpler times. Check out some quintessential high school k-drama scenes and locations here:

The Classroom

High school dramas involve students so, of course, they need to spend some time in the classroom. But did you notice that there is a specific part of the classroom K-drama students tend to sit in? They tend to sit near the back and often close by the window just like Oh Ji-soo (Kim Dong-hee) in Extracurricular and Hyun Tae-woon (Kim Jung-hyun) in School 2017.

New Student Introduction

In Korea, new students introduce themselves in front of the classroom on their first day. It’s especially nerve wracking for Jo Kang-ja (Kim Hee-seon) because she’s pretending to be a high school student in order to find the bully who tormented her daughter in Angry Mom. Having a new student definitely shakes things up and makes it interesting. Choi Joon-woo (Ong Seong-wu) is a lonely transfer student in Moment of Eighteen.

School Infirmary

Is it just me or do K-drama characters get hurt and sick more often than us? Whatever the case, there’s plenty of scenes at the school infirmary. The School Nurse Files centers on school nurse Ahn Eun-young (Jung Yu-mi), so there’s plenty of fun scenes where she works. Kim Jo-jo (Kim So-hyun) and Lee Hye-yeong (Jung Ga-ram) also have a secret infirmary encounter in Love Alarm S1.

Locker Scenes

You use lockers to store books and belongings, but they’re also a popular place to chat and gaze longingly at the object of your affection. Ha-ru (Rowoon) gives a swoon-worthy look here in Extraordinary You while Cho Sang-hoon (Kim Do-wan) shows angsty vibes in front of his locker in Moment of Eighteen.

Water Fountain

School water fountains are frequently found in high school dramas. You can drink water, wash your hands, clean stuff, and peek at cute students there. Hyun Tae-woon (Kim Jung-hyun) and Ra Eun-ho (Kim Se-jeong) have a sweet water fountain encounter in School 2017. Ha-ru (Rowoon) and Eun Dan-oh (Kim Hye-yoon) also look cute beside a water fountain in Extraordinary You.

School Rooftop

K-dramas certainly love their share of rooftop scenes. While rooftop access might become more restricted these days, there are plenty of locations where students try to have a space of their own. Student X is overlooking the view from the rooftop in School 2017. Park Sun-ho (Nam Da-reum) and Oh Joon-seok (Seo Dong-hyun) have a dangerous argument on the rooftop in Beautiful World.

Library

A part of being a student naturally requires spending some time studying. What better place to study than the library? The library is an important place where Eun Dan-oh (Kim Hye-yoon) discovers the truth about her identity in Extraordinary You. Choi Joon-woo (Ong Seong-wu) focuses on studying in the library as well in Moment of Eighteen.

Extracurricular Activities

Well-rounded students take on extracurricular activities outside of studying. You can’t help but swoon when you see good-looking characters excel at a variety of skills. Lee Do-hwa (Jung Gun-joo) looks super handsome while playing the violin in Extraordinary You. Han Yi-han (Nam Joo-hyuk) is a star swimmer in Who Are You: School 2015.

Physical Education

Physical Education, also known as P.E., is a mandatory part of school so it’s no surprise that it appears in high school dramas as well. To amp up the drama, special sports events are often used in scenes. We see this on the field of Moment of Eighteen. Baek Kyung (Lee Jae-wook) and Eun Dan-oh (Kim Hye-yoon) participate in a three-legged race in Extraordinary You. It’s a nice change from their everyday school uniforms.

Dressing Casual

Speaking of not wearing school uniforms, there are always scenes where we can see students dressed casually outside of school. Sometimes it leads to romantic scenes in an almond farm like in Inheritors or down-to-earth fun with friends in Reply 1988.

Dressing Up

Other times, we can see characters dressed up for fancier occasions. This usually results in someone being stunned by the beautiful transformation and they end up seeing the other person in a different way. In Extracurricular, Oh Ji-soo (Kim Dong-hee) is blown away by Bae Gyu-ri (Park Ju-hyun) who is dolled up. Oh Nam-joo (Kim Young-dae) puts on a spiffy bowtie in Extraordinary You.

Cafeteria

You have to eat to fuel your brain and body for the school day, so there are plenty of cafeteria and lunch scenes in high school dramas. It’s always fun viewing appetizing meals that sometimes look better than our own lunches. Choi Joon-woo (Ong Seong-wu) eats a typical high school lunch in Moment of Eighteen. On the other hand, Eun Dan-oh (Kim Hye-yoon) and Ha-ru (Rowoon) enjoy a fancier lunch at their school in Extraordinary You.

Convenience Store

Students typically don’t have a ton of cash, so they’ll opt for cheap and tasty eats at convenience stores when eating outside of school. Yoo Soo-bin (Kim Hyang-gi) sits inside a one in Moment of Eighteen. You can also see high school students working at convenience stores like Han Dong-soo (Seo Young-joo) in Beautiful World.

Bicycles

High school students in Korea usually aren’t old enough to drive cars, so they’ll ride bikes or motorcycles instead. Kim Jo-jo (Kim So-hyun) and Lee Hye-yeong (Jung Ga-ram) have a sweet bicycle ride in the snow in Love Alarm S1. Choi Joon-woo (Ong Seong-qu) uses his bike for transportation in Moment of Eighteen.

Buses and Bus Stops

Not all students own and ride bikes, so buses are another common form of transportation for high school students. Being in close proximity with your crush can easily lead to heart-fluttering moments. Kim So-hyun shares a gentle moment with Nam Joo-hyuk on a bus in Who Are You: School 2015. She also stands with Song Kang at a bus stop while it’s raining in Love Alarm S1.

Which of the quintessential high school K-drama scenes do you like most? You can watch all of the mentioned shows on Netflix.

List of mentioned shows: Angry Mom, Beautiful World, Extracurricular, Extraordinary You, Love Alarm S1, Moment of Eighteen, Reply 1988, School 2017, The School Nurse Files, Who Are You: School 2015
