I Will Live As An Actor

I Will Live as an Actress Episode 153

Lee Hye-sook, a mother in England, could not hide her surprise at the view of the hotel she visited for the first time in her life.

The sight of the staff dressed in suits, bowing their heads at ninety degrees to welcome them, with a fancy chandelier and marble floor, made me wonder if I could be treated like this.

“We will carry your luggage, madam.”

Hye-sook Lee was embarrassed when the bellboy politely tried to hand her luggage. It’s not that heavy of a burden. All I did was pack food for my son, who was alone in Seoul, and buy a few pairs of thick socks and underwear for the coming winter.

“Thank you.”

The bellboy answered with a faint smile. The hotel lobby was unusual, and the elevator was also unusual. It is made of glass on three sides, so you can clearly see the outside scenery. As the elevator went up, the people on the street gradually became smaller like ants.

When we arrived in front of the room, the bellboy bowed politely and said,

“Thank you for visiting our hotel. Please rest comfortably.”

As she entered the room, Lee Hye-sook’s eyes widened again.

Kim Seong-hoon, the side dish store man, also couldn’t hide his surprise. Kim Seong-hoon, who once worked in Seoul, knows how expensive this hotel on Teheran Road is.

Moreover, there is even an extra room within the living room and study room. The expensive furniture, as well as the dazzling night view of Seoul outside the front glass of the living room, clearly showed that this was a suite.

“Seo Seong-hoon. “It’s really expensive here, right?”

Lee Hye-sook was surprised as if she had seen a different world, but then she became worried.

In the past, she couldn’t even go on a luxurious honeymoon, let alone a hotel. All I had to do was take a bus to Taejongdae with my deceased husband.

Moreover, as a young woman who lived in shabby inns with her son, the current scene felt as if she had entered another world.

“I need to ask for it right now.”

Hye-sook Lee looked like she was planning to go down to the lobby and change rooms at any moment. It was only a one-day stay, but I thought it was too much. At that moment, Kim Seong-hoon holds Lee Hye-sook’s trembling hand. I felt sorry for her.

“Hye-sook, I think Young-guk was concerned because his mother came. If you’re worried about the cost of accommodation, we’ll pay it later when we leave. “If we suddenly change rooms, England will probably be very worried.”

“You’re being too extravagant.”

“Come on, let’s not do that and just take a look. “It’s amazing because I’ve never been to a place like this in my life.”

Kim Seong-hoon hastily changed the topic. I had to lead Hye-sook Lee, who was hesitant, by the hand and look around the room together.

But how much time has passed? Lee Hye-sook let go of the fact that they were holding hands, surprised like an eighteen-year-old high school girl. but.

When Lee Hye-sook takes a step back at the view outside the floor-to-ceiling glass in the front of the suite, Kim Seong-hoon holds her shoulder. It was a sight I felt in the elevator, but it was my first time looking out through such a wide front glass.

The people walking among the forest of gray buildings looked really small. It’s like looking down from above the clouds.

It was when Lee Hye-sook was cautiously glancing outside.

“Hye-suk, try this. “It will be delicious.”

“What is this?”

“It’s chocolate.”

Kim Seong-hoon carefully opened the welcome chocolate placed on the living room table and handed it to Lee Hye-sook. As luxurious as the packaging was, the chocolate also seemed incomparably more expensive than the ones sold at Yeongdo stores. What does it taste like?

Lee Hye-sook, who took a bite of a handful of chocolate, closed her eyes and said.

“Sayye.”

“Hyung, we still have a long way to go, right?”

A car is driving on a complicated overpass in Seoul. Manager Lee Bong-chun, who is behind the wheel, tries his best, but is unable to clear the blocked road. However, he does not know the feelings of England, who is sitting in the passenger seat.

“Hold on to your worries! “My brother is the best driver!”

The filming lasted all day. Although my body is already exhausted and tired, the reason for moving like this is simple. It was because my mother came to Seoul.

At that time, a sneaky car tried to cut in without even turning on its turn signal.

“Look! “Please don’t cut in line!”

Manager Lee Bong-chun is abusive, even using a dialect that he usually tries not to use.

The car that cut off the bear-like face protruding beyond the driver’s window suddenly turned on its blinkers in surprise.

As the blocked road becomes clearer over time, the car lets out a loud beep as if the accumulated congestion is going down.

“Oh bro. “It’s too fast.”

England unconsciously grabbed the passenger seat safety handle. As if the boast of being the best driver was not false, Lee Bong-chun’s driving skills were amazing.

Isn’t he the person who originally drove a top car in Busan, a city known for its rough terrain in Korea?

As if riding a bullet taxi, the car quickly arrived in front of the hotel located on Teheran Road.

“England, will you finish eating and will your brother come pick you up again?”

“No, it’s okay. “I’ll take a taxi then.”

“But he’s still a celebrity.”

“Don’t worry.”

I meant it. Lee Bong-chun looked proud as he showed off his driving skills for the first time in a long time, but for England, who was riding with him, it felt like death.

Since I had a lot of experience riding fishing boats since I was young, I tend to ignore most of the seasickness. However, Lee Bong-chun’s driving skills were similar to that of riding and disembarking Vikings in succession.

England thought that from now on, they should never ask to go faster again.

“I will bring actor Jang Young-guk here.”

I found a restaurant located inside the hotel. Isn’t this the mother who came up to Seoul, but had to go down the next day because her son was busy?

I wanted to let you eat something good, even if only for a short time. As England entered the restaurant, he could feel the guests at other tables glancing at him in surprise.

‘Maybe I should have asked to be assigned a room.’

I gave up because I couldn’t see the outside scenery properly from the room. But now that I feel people’s eyes on me, I wonder if I did something wrong.

Eventually, before I could even think about it, my mother and Mr. Kim arrived at the restaurant, guided by the manager.

“mother! mister!”

When England raised his hand, his mother, who was awkward seeing the restaurant for the first time in her life, finally regained her bright smile.

“Isn’t soup too expensive?”

“Rice?”

“No, food and even sleeping looked very expensive.”

“No, it’s a place run by someone I know, so I made a cheap reservation because they said there were empty rooms. So, you can enjoy your meal. Neither your mother nor your uncle will be hungry. “It’s really delicious here.”

The statement that I knew the owner of a 5-star hotel on Teheran Road was a complete lie. Anyway, no matter how famous a celebrity is, how can he build a relationship with a businessman? But my mother seems calm and trusting.

As the mother awkwardly cuts the meat, Mr. Kim replaces it with the plate he had already cut. As I was looking at that, a part of my heart was touched for some reason.

People glanced at me, but my mother didn’t seem to be bothered by even that. Rather, he seemed proud that so many people recognized his son.

The meal was about to end. The manager approached and spoke politely.

“Actress Jang Young-guk, our chef is a big fan of Actor Jang Young-guk and would like to serve meat separately. Would that be okay?”

“It is the same product as the steak meat that came out today. “We prepared it so you can cook it at home.”

“I wonder if I can accept something like that.”

“After you finish your meal, if you have time, just take a photo with the chef. “Even now, if the order hadn’t been delayed, I would have rushed out of the kitchen and met the actor.”

My mother and Mr. Kim looked surprised. The same goes for Britain. I had no idea I would receive such an unexpected gift.

At first, I thought it would be burdensome and thought he would refuse, but he soon nodded. This is because he saw the chef’s bright eyes looking at him from the kitchen.

“Jisoo would be disappointed that he couldn’t come today, but I’m glad.”

“No, if Jisoo had come, England would have been very tired. “The same goes for Hye-sook.”

Unfortunately, Jisoo was not able to join us for the start of school. However, it was a blessing in disguise that I could now eat the steak I had eaten at a famous hotel restaurant in Seoul at home.

After the meal, it was time to enjoy tea.

England secretly looked at Mr. Kim. There was an untainted innocence in the sight of him still chatting affectionately with his mother.

“mister.”

With a sudden call.

“Do you like my mom very much?”

At the words that followed, Mr. Kim’s face turned bright red. Since his skin was originally white, it looked even redder.

It was the same with my mother. He seemed very embarrassed, as if he didn’t expect England to ask such a question. but.

Mr. Kim immediately gives a grateful look and nods his head sharply at England. My mother doesn’t know what to do when she sees that. Like an eighteen-year-old high school girl who received a confession.

* * *

I sat in the main hall and looked at the luggage my mother had brought me.

From the various side dishes made with seafood from Namhang, to the seasonal vegetables collected directly from Bongraesan Mountain facing Oryukdo Island, to the socks and neatly folded new underwear provided to keep us warm during the coming winter.

It was my mother’s heart that I made while traveling to the sea, mountains, and Namhang Market.

The image of my mother comes to mind. Because you don’t always show that you are having a hard time, there are probably a lot of things that are stuck in your heart.

It must not have been easy for a young woman to move from a shabby motel room to a moldy shack with a child alone.

“father.”

I missed my father especially today. I wish I had been with my mother. But that doesn’t make me sad. The same will be true for the Father at sea.

Just like her first promise to live happily, my mother is also now finding happiness.

She was a woman before she was a mother.

As a woman, there are things she wants to have and things she wants to enjoy, but she always gives them up for her only son.

Didn’t he always protect his son even though his hands were cracked and torn apart? Like a breakwater that withstands a rushing storm.

At that time, I saw something between my neatly folded underwear.

“There is a letter.”

It was a letter folded like a scab. I was so busy that I tore up the calendar and wrote something right after it.

However, my mother’s handwriting is neat, as if it contains her own life. Just as you have always been sincere and silently sacrificed your youth.

As I read the long letter, my eyes become watery without me realizing it.

-I love and miss my son always.

The last sentence with a period echoes in my heart. The blowing wind makes the raindrops fall like unripe tears.
