Godsent Top Star [EN]: Chapter 281

278. Farewell, and (2)

August 5, 2022

According to Madam Kang.

The driving force of the two reminded her of her late father, being so headstrong that it was destructive.

“First, they firmly grasped the newspaper company.”

Next were various portal sites.

“The articles were taken down in less than an hour after they were posted.”

[What do you mean an hour? It wasn’t even 30 minutes, was it?]

“Anyway, they disappeared so quickly that I was impressed.”

The Dongja spirit [a spirit that inhabits the body of a child], who had appeared as a sparrow at some point, was diligently looking at his phone.

Next was the lawyer.

“In my life, it was the first time I saw so many people with such strong spirits gathered together.”

Madam Kang, who had experienced almost every kind of person, said that as if she was fed up with it.

“Every single one of them had a fierce look in their eyes and seemed out of their minds. Back in the old days, they would have been executioners holding swords, but I was surprised to hear they were lawyers.”

The lawyer group, who wielded knives in their mouths instead of holding them in their hands, brought laptops and worked like crazy.

Then, one by one, they received calls and disappeared with leisurely smiles like vipers with prey in their mouths.

It took less than an hour for all the malicious gossip that had been posted to be deleted without a trace.

However, it was already impossible to stop people’s eyes, hands, and mouths, and Yeon-woo’s condition spread rapidly through the fans’ mouths.

“It was those young men who issued the correction articles. I thought they were holding some kind of press conference here.”

It was an article to reassure people not to believe the false reports, but the effect wasn’t bad.

Under Kwon Seong-hyun’s instructions, the agency released an article at the agency level, and the response was mainly one of reassurance.

“It was those young men who took care of the filming site where you work.”

Although he was a supporting actor, Yeon-woo had already established himself as an actor with a presence no different from the main character.

Suddenly, one such person was missing.

Not only that.

Suddenly, the atmosphere of the filming set became ambiguous due to overwork.

It was Kwon Seong-hyun and Woo Do-gyeom who first went to fix it.

They went as representatives of their respective agencies and investors.

“It becomes very awkward when problems arise between people working together. Well, I know you’re not sensitive enough to care about that, but you have to get into the habit of paying attention properly.”

Thanks to that, the drama production company also released an article.

Rather, they were the ones who caused trouble, but the article was very Yeon-woo-centric, so I felt a little sorry after checking it later.

Kwon Seong-hyun and Woo Do-gyeom seemed to have done a lot of work besides that.

The phone was on fire, but that was actually a grateful thing.

Perhaps it was thanks to the endless messages of support coming from everywhere.

After that, fortunately, Yeon-woo’s condition improved rapidly.

And.

-Ding!

[Multiple lifespan automatic harvesting has been completed.]

The most anticipated notification was heard.

[Automatically harvested lifespan: 497 days]

It was a notification announcing a lifespan of over a year.

*

‘Was it the Onflix release date?’

After checking, it wasn’t.

The release date was still a few days away.

‘What is it? Then is it domestic……?’

If so, it was very surprising.

He had never harvested more than a year of lifespan in a single day in Korea.

The answer could be found in an unexpected place.

“……Overseas?”

Overseas.

The very overseas that he usually didn’t pay any attention to.

That overseas was mentioned once again.

“It seems that Yeon-woo’s news has spread overseas.”

The culprit, no, the protagonist, was none other than a very familiar person.

“Trevi Hazelley?”

I don’t know how he knew the news that was taken down in 30 minutes even in Korea.

Anyway, Trevi, who found out about Yeon-woo’s news more quickly than anyone else, advertised it all over the overseas community.

So, it was a mess overseas as well.

The sense of crisis that a popular drama called Onflix New Syndrome might be canceled.

That fueled the anxiety of fans, including Trevi.

-So we can’t see it this week? OMG

-Nope. I heard there’s no problem because it was produced in advance.

-Oh my god. But paparazzi are a problem there too. Why don’t they leave the actors alone? Fortunately, Yeon-woo is not overworked, but he’s about to collapse because of the paparazzi!.

-He was sued 😀

-Wow. That’s the best news I’ve heard? That’s something we should learn! Paparazzi are going too far these days. I feel sorry for the stars 🙁

-Damn paparazzi! What if Yeon-woo doesn’t come to this neighborhood because of this? The paparazzi are even worse here! Damn it!

The most intense reaction among the intense reactions was Trevi Hazelley.

He declared war on the paparazzi and received the support of Hollywood stars.

‘No…… how far are you going……?’

He’s a person I’ve never met, but I think I can tell this person’s madness even without understanding his intentions.

It’ll probably say it’s true.

‘Anyway, it means that there are quite a lot of overseas sources mixed in. I’m so glad that the overseas influence has increased…….’

I’ve been thinking that since Onflix, but is it because of what happened right before my lifespan hit 0?

It’s very attractive that so much lifespan has come in unusually because of the news that I collapsed even though it’s not the release date.

“Come to think of it, it’s not a bad result.”

A picture taken in a rather embarrassing pose.

The aftermath of that photo is pretty good.

Actually, it was a little, no, a lot embarrassing.

Since I got a lot of lifespan, it wasn’t a losing business.

“What are you talking about?”

“Ah. It’s nothing.”

“You’re boring.”

Madam Kang, who said that, scanned Yeon-woo’s face here and there.

“You look good.”

She spat out after examining each one carefully as if to engrave it in her eyes.

“I don’t have to worry anymore.”

It was a relieved voice.

“I’ll be going now.”

“Already?”

“What do you mean already? It’s only a matter of you being safe. I’ve confirmed that you’re safe, so the person who has to leave has to leave.”

As if those words were not a lie, Madam Kang jumped up and prepared.

“No. We’re seeing each other for the first time in two years……?”

But you’re already leaving?

“I can’t use the hospital bed because it’s uncomfortable.”

“……Mom, this is a VIP room.”

The VIP room had a separate room like a hotel.

Of course, there was a fluffy bed with the finest bedding.

“Yeah. I don’t usually use a bed anyway.”

Madam Kang said confidently.

“What good would staying do? I’d just be passing time. Now that I’ve confirmed you’re okay, I’m going back home to reopen my shrine. It’s been closed for too long.”

Madam Kang clicked her tongue, saying it had been closed for over a month already.

“No, really, why don’t you stay a bit longer? It’s been a while since we’ve seen each other.”

“Tsk, tsk. You rascal.”

“What is it now?”

“You can just visit home more often, can’t you?”

“That’s true, but…….”

She was right, so I had nothing to say.

“I had only one worry, and it seems like that’s gone, so I should be going. If I stay any longer, my mind will just get more complicated.”

“What was the worry?”

“Why do you have to ask? Do you really want me to answer?”

Yeon-woo was speechless at those words.

For some reason, it felt like I shouldn’t ask for an answer here.

What should I say?

It felt like opening Pandora’s Box.

Instead, Yeon-woo asked a different question.

“You really can’t see it, right?”

“Who knows?”

What was with that ambiguous answer?

‘She shouldn’t be able to see it, right? She shouldn’t?’

Clearly, Madam Kang had asked at first.

What is the system?

She didn’t even know what it was, so she shouldn’t be able to see it.

Strangely, it was clear that she knew something.

The only worry of a parent who has received all the lifespan from their child is one thing.

‘Lifespan.’

Even Yeon-woo, who had never had children, could understand that.

‘Can she really see it?’

Yeon-woo stared at the number in the corner of his vision.

497 days.

The fact that his lifespan had increased that much was definitely something only he knew.

Should I really ask?

While Yeon-woo was pondering,

Madam Kang, who had coolly gotten up from her seat, said.

It wasn’t to Yeon-woo.

“I hope you guys take good care of him.”

It was a word to the two who were sitting like fixtures on one side of the VIP room.

Those two were, of course, Kwon Seong-hyun and Woo Do-gyeom.

“Don’t worry, Mother. I will take good care of Yeon-woo.”

“We will make sure there is nothing to worry about.”

The two answered Madam Kang’s words so naturally.

Yeon-woo was dumbfounded.

“No, Mom? Why are you asking them for my favor?”

Even if it’s like this, I’m the one who takes care of those people, not the one being taken care of.

Of course, I did receive a lot of help, but…….

Kwon Seong-hyun was the main culprit who made me go out to find him directly because he didn’t think of returning even after his body and soul were separated.

Woo Do-gyeom is the person whose curse was directed at his children because he did something wrong.

‘Aren’t I more trustworthy than those people?’

That’s what I thought, but,

“You’re too unreliable. Tsk…….”

The answer that came back was completely different.

Madam Kang, who said that, scanned Yeon-woo from head to toe.

The highlight was the sound of clicking her tongue at the end.

-I feel like if Yeon-woo says things will be okay, they will really be okay.

-Can we go with this scene as it is? For some reason, I feel comfortable only after getting permission…….

-My era of success started after I dug into our Yeon-woo. This is the first time I’ve ever dug into a celebrity so comfortably;;; It’s so comfortable that it’s just become my life;;

Whether it’s the production company.

Whether it’s the filming crew.

Whether it’s the same actor.

And I thought about the reactions of the grateful fans who liked me.

No matter what I thought about, I was always praised for being trustworthy.

‘Could it be…… was I mistaken?’

No.

That can’t be.

‘No way. The stats told me, so it’s not a lie, is it?’

I felt wronged for some reason.

Wasn’t she just watching me for two years because she trusted me?

“He’s like this. Well. He’s been a bright kid since he was young, so he’s not lacking, but he’s clumsy in strange places. You guys know that, right?”

“Of course. That’s his charm.”

“I know.”

“Yes. So please help him out. It seems like he’s about to cause another accident before long…….”

Madam Kang’s gaze swept over Yeon-woo once again.

‘What is it? Why does it feel like I’ve already been caught?’

Yeon-woo felt a cold sweat slowly rising.

‘The fact that I was thinking of going overseas…… it feels like she found out……?’

*

No, well.

Of course, I’m not saying I’m going right now.

The drama filming hasn’t even finished yet.

In fact, no one from overseas has called me.

‘But I can dream, can’t I?’

To be honest, I was curious.

Overseas was like an unknown world to Yeon-woo.

The reason was simple.

I had never thought about going overseas even once!

‘Overseas? Foreign countries? Why would I go there?’

It could be seen as Madam Kang’s influence.

She was an even greater follower of old cultural traditions than Yeon-woo.

How else would she only use the latest cell phone for contact purposes, even though she had one?

So I didn’t even have any thoughts.

It would be right to say that it was not even on my mind, regardless of likes or dislikes.

But.

‘479 days.’

Look at this enormous amount of lifespan harvested from a 0-day deadline.

‘Right. I heard that the world population recently increased to 7 billion……?’

The world is wide and there are many people.

That means there are many dormant surplus lifespans.

There were that many cases of people wasting their lifespan without thinking deeply, even though they didn’t have enough lifespan to live each day to the fullest.

‘I have to take that.’

That’s what Yeon-woo was aiming for.
