Chapter 573

[Title: Looking for the people who helped my wife and child in Goyeong.]

The reason why I’m writing this is to find the people who helped my wife and child in her womb on November 1st…>

Choi Soohee read the post that started like this.

“My wife was so out of it that she couldn’t pay attention to the surroundings, so I had to ask around the people who were there at the scene and finally wrote this post.”

“Wow!

The members of the [Fire] team, as well as the members and staff of [Working Man!], couldn’t hide their admiration and listened to Choi Soohee’s words.

Especially, PD Jeon Min-jae and the writers were smiling ear to ear at the big fish that came in unexpectedly.

“On the afternoon of November 1st, I’m looking for the people who looked like college students, who were riding a 9-seater van in Goyeong, who had blankets and hot packs in the car. Thanks to you, both my wife and the child in her womb are safe, and I want to express my gratitude to you. Please, please contact me.”

“Wow!”

Another exclamation came out.

“This is you guys, right?”

“Technically, it’s the advance team, but… it seems like it!”

The team members nodded their heads at Choi Soohee’s words.

“I’m glad that both the wife and the baby are safe.”

“Me too. I was worried all the time!”

The staff of [Working Man!] felt their hearts pounding at the sincere conversation of the students. It seemed like they didn’t have to worry about the ratings of this episode if they sneakily released this story as a preview.

“We should look for the CCTV nearby, right?”

But they still needed to verify it. And also secure some scenes to broadcast.

“Right. But it’s already the end of the month, so I don’t know if they’re still there.”

“Let’s just look for them.”

A few of the staff got up quickly. They had to get the CCTV footage and interviews of the witnesses related to this post. Time was urgent.

“Wow. You guys did a good deed.”

“What happened? Tell us more.”

The members of [Working Man!] asked with sparkling eyes, and the team members’ eyes turned to the advance team. Hwang Ji-yoon, who was introduced as the director of this movie shooting team, scratched her cheek and opened her mouth.

“Well… we were on our way to the shooting location. The team member who was driving noticed the wife sitting on the side of the road and felt that something was wrong. We didn’t know anything. She just looked like she was resting on a bench. I guess other people felt the same way.”

Hwang Do-yoon and the advance team nodded their heads.

“Then he suddenly stopped the car and asked us to go with him, saying that her condition didn’t look good. So we went with him and saw her pale and sweating coldly.”

The people who were listening attentively with bated breath smiled awkwardly at Hwang Ji-yoon.

“Then we contacted her husband and brought the blankets and hot packs from the car and called an ambulance. That’s all we did.”

“That’s a lot, though.”

“Right. You could have just passed by!”

“I saw the post and it said that you comforted the wife until the ambulance came.”

The members of [Working Man!] praised the advance team fervently. It seemed like applause would break out at any moment. No, clap clap clap! Applause came out.

When PD Jeon Min-jae was about to open his mouth and say, ‘Can I interview the student who was driving…’, the drone camera director said to PD Jeon Min-jae.

“PD. The cars are coming in. They keep coming in.”

“…Ah…”

SNS promotion!

It seemed like the people who saw it were coming in.

PD Jeon Min-jae hesitated for a moment.

This side was also a big fish, of course, but he couldn’t ignore the viewers who came here after seeing the SNS promotion. That was the original theme of this episode, after all.

“How many are coming in?”

“A lot.”

Ugh. PD Jeon Min-jae and the writers looked regretful.

They wanted to assign one of the members to interview this movie shooting team, but it seemed impossible.

“Let’s just shoot a video letter for now. If we get their contact information, we can interview them later.”

Everyone nodded at PD Jeon Min-jae’s words.

The members of [Working Man!] said goodbye to the team members of the [Fire] team and hurriedly went into the kitchen.

“Then shall we go too?”

“Can we buy snacks?”

“No, you’re eating again?”

“It’s so good here.”

The junior who raised his thumb with a serious expression made the seniors curious about the taste. They moved to the outside food court to buy snacks before the new guests came.

The team members went out in a rush and Hwang Ji-yoon, who was looking around the restaurant for the last time, was about to move when a writer came up to her.

“Director, can I interview you for a moment?”

“Interview?”

“Oh, not an interview, but a video letter? Something like that. I thought it would be nice to shoot a reply to the husband and wife who posted the post.”

Hwang Ji-yoon’s eyes suddenly looked at someone outside wearing a hat, then turned to the writer.

She left a short video letter saying that he was glad that both the wife and the child were safe, and the writer asked her.

“Oh, by the way, what college are you from if you’re a college student?”

“I’m from Korea National University of Arts.”

“Oh.”

The writer and the cameraman exclaimed and nodded their heads at the appearance of the most famous art school in Korea. They were students who were hot topics in many ways.

“Are you shooting Working Man here?”

“Oh! Is this it? Pork cutlet VS stir-fried pork!”

Meanwhile, one or two new guests came in.

“Then, director. Please be careful on your way.”

“You too, have a good shooting.”

The writer sent Hwang Ji-yoon off and headed to where the staff were with the cameraman. The seats started to fill up one by one with the guests who came after seeing the SNS promotion.

“But, Kim writer. If it’s KNUA, isn’t it there? Where Lee Seo-jun is?”

“Oh, right?”

If it was a movie shooting, there would be acting students who participated as actors, and then they might know Lee Seo-jun too.

“I should have asked the college first!”

PD Jeon Min-jae and the main writer also looked regretful.

“Can we catch them now?”

“They’re leaving.”

They saw the tourist bus and the truck and the van starting to move outside the window. PD Jeon Min-jae rubbed his neck.

“But you know.”

“Yes.”

“Don’t you feel like… we missed something very, very big?”

“PD, too? Me too.”

Watching the last van leave, the staff of [Working Man!] couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling.

“Was it okay for me to do the video letter?”

“Yes. Ji-yoon noona helped too.”

Seo-jun nodded his head as he put a piece of buttery potato in his mouth, answering Hwang Ji-yoon’s question.

“I’m just glad to hear that both of them are safe.”

“That’s right. I never expected to hear from them, but I’m relieved.”

Kim Se-yeon agreed, recalling that time.

“But did you have to hide Seo-jun?”

Hwang Do-yoon, who was sitting next to Seo-jun and eating grilled squid, opened his mouth.

“I didn’t reveal your real name because of the interference. Now that the filming is almost over, it doesn’t matter, right?”

‘…That’s true?’

Seo-jun, Hwang Ji-yoon, and Kim Se-yeon blinked their eyes.

“Well, I don’t know… It just happened unconsciously…”

“Right. Seo-jun was so low-key…”

“We’ve been together for so long that he just felt like a junior…”

“I didn’t think I needed to appear either, so I kept quiet.”

It was a pity for [Working Man!], but that’s how the [Fire] team was. Seo-jun didn’t reveal himself, so they had no reason to say anything first.

“I didn’t know you guys would hide him too…”

“Our teamwork is awesome.”

They all laughed at that.

The [Fire] team headed to Seoul, chatting about various things. Fortunately, nothing big happened like on the way there.

-Ahn Da Ho: Are you on your way?

Of course, it would take longer to get to Korea National University of Arts, his destination.

-Ahn Da Ho: I know. I was monitoring it.

-Ahn Da Ho: I was going to tell you when you came to Seoul.

Seo-jun widened his eyes. He knew.

-Ahn Da Ho: Really?

-Ahn Da Ho: That post was uploaded a few days after the day you guys helped them.

-Ahn Da Ho: He must have wanted to repay you as soon as possible.

Seo-jun tilted his head at the words that the first post was uploaded about three weeks ago.

‘But why did I find out now?’

He was busy with filming, but he wasn’t completely cut off from the outside world.

-Ahn Da Ho: But around that time, there was a buzz about the patients who miraculously improved in that area.

-Ahn Da Ho: It was a mess because they didn’t know the cause.

…Oh. That’s right.

Seo-jun scratched his cheek, the cause of the miracle.

There was a lot of talk online and offline about it for a while. Some patients even visited the hospitals where the miracle happened. They also talked about it at the dorm for a while.

-Ahn Da Ho: That’s why it was buried and only discovered now.

-Ahn Da Ho: The husband must have been surprised too, he wrote an additional post.

-Ahn Da Ho: (link)

[Title: Looking for the people who helped my wife and child at Goyeonㅠㅠ(2)]

<…It was the day of the ○○ tunnel accident… You were supposed to pass through the ○○ tunnel, but because you stopped to help my wife, you barely avoided the accident, which is an amazing story…>

-Ahn Da Ho: The additional post started to get attention.

Seo-jun smiled softly, feeling the husband’s sincere desire to find his benefactors.

-Ahn Da Ho: Director Hwang should contact him now that the filming is over.

-Ahn Da Ho: Does Director Hwang know?

-Ahn Da Ho: Then it would be better to coordinate the schedule and contact him.

-Ahn Da Ho: He might want to interview you.

-Ahn Da Ho: You have to decide whether to mention Seo-jun or not.

Ah. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Seo-jun rolled his eyes and tapped his phone.

It seemed like a 100% chance that they would appear, judging by the reaction of the production team.

His phone was silent after that message.

Seo-jun fiddled with his phone, waiting for a reply. It wasn’t broken, was it? He tilted his head and got a reply.

-Ahn Da Ho: …How did that happen?

Seo-jun burst into laughter, feeling a lot of emotions in the ‘…’.

***

“See you later!”

“Be careful!”

“Bye!”

The [Fire] team got off at Korea National University of Arts and scattered, leaving their other luggage for later and taking their own.

“I’m back.”

He returned home after about four weeks.

He felt tired that he didn’t even notice, seeing the familiar scenery. He had rested well during the filming, but there was no place as comfortable as home.

A warm voice reached Seo-jun’s ears, who seemed to be about to whine.

“Seo-jun. You worked hard!”

“You must be tired.”

It was his mom and dad. Seo-jun smiled brightly as he put down his luggage.

“Dad, you’re here too? What about work?”

“I left early because you were coming. Hee-sang will take care of the rest.”

Seo-jun chuckled at Lee Min-jun’s words.

“What about food? Are you hungry?”

“I’m fine. I ate a lot at the rest area.”

Seo-jun organized his luggage as usual. He put the clothes and towels that needed to be washed in the washing machine, and put the other things in their places. He also neatly placed the scripts and contis on the bookshelf.

He came out to the living room after washing up, and saw colorful fruits prepared. He said he wasn’t hungry, but as parents, they wanted to give him more.

He smiled softly at the sight of his parents waiting for him and sat down.

“Seo-jun. Try the strawberry. It’s sweet and delicious.”

“You’re right. It’s delicious.”

The couple looked at their son, who was eating a ripe strawberry, with a warm smile. They video-called often, but seeing him in person was the best.

“How was the filming? Was it fun?”

“Did you eat well?”

“It was fun. I ate well. We had a meat party on the last day. Oh, did you see the Working Man filming on the way?”

“Working Man? Did you appear on it?”

“Well, I guess they were selling food at the rest area…”

Seo-jun and his parents happily chatted, returning to their normal lives.
