The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Chapter 46: Dreaming (4).

Y__Yeon Seo

Why did you send me this? Anyway, I enjoyed it. #support

-Yoo Yeon Seo receives his first support from someone richer than her

Support sender: Father (Vice Chairman of Juseong Group / 2nd richest person in Korea)

└Well… there are people who are richer than her…

└How can you beat your familyㅋㅋㅋ

└But wasn’t Yoo Yeon Seo’s childhood photo not revealed?

└└As expected, our father-in-law has a sense of humor

└Lolㅋㅋㅋfatherㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

└Our father is handsome and has a good sense of humor

└Why are there so many crazy people here

Yoo Gunmin hummed a tune as he felt good.

He received a video call from his son, who had barely contacted him for a long time. 

He was touched by his son’s grateful words and his chubby face.

It felt like yesterday when he was lying in the intensive care unit, but now he was healthy and attending school and doing well in his entertainment activities. 

He almost shed a tear of joy, exaggerating a bit.

[When I met your second son before, he was very polite, right?]

[Your second son doesn’t have any thoughts of marriage?]

[Did you see how your son solved the case? Your son’s farming is the real deal.]

His reputation around him improved as well, and he felt full even without eating anything.

“What is this?”

“Ah!”

Yoo Gunmin flinched and looked behind him. 

Yoo Changho, the chairman of Juseong Group, approached him without a sound and showed him his phone screen. 

On the screen, there was a post of Yoo Yeon Seo’s support confirmation on SNS.

“Father, you scared me.”

“This.”

“Father, do you use the internet these days?”

“Ahem······!”

Yoo Chairman learned how to use the internet after being scolded by his wife, Park Geumju, and nagging the head of the strategic planning department. But he was too embarrassed to explain in detail, so he just showed him the screen without a word.

“······I sent a coffee truck to Yeon Seo’s filming site.”

“How did you do that?”

“I asked Lim secretary.”

“Who?”

“Yeon Seo’s secretary. Lim Seunghyun secretary.”

Lim secretary, Lim Seunghyun······ He thought he heard it from his eldest grandson, Yoo Eunho. He said he finally hired a reliable person and he could rest assured.

“I was less worried this time since he lasted more than a year. He must be good since our Eunho picked him. But why do you look like that, father?”

His chubby expression looked familiar.

Yoo Gunmin narrowed his eyes and examined his father’s face. Could it be, really?

“Father, do you want to send one too?”

“Uh······ no, that’s not it.”

Yoo Chairman put his phone in his pocket and coughed as if nothing happened.

Yoo Gunmin held back his laughter. He would get angry if he laughed out loud. If he cared so much, he should have said something nice in front of him······ What kind of pride does he have to be so strict with his grandson······.

“Hey, give me that secretary’s number.”

***

Park Siwan and Chunbaek bid farewell to the case subject who sublimated into a light cluster. 

He was a person who lived as a vegetable for 10 years and finally returned to reality.

“Today was easy······.”

The case subject had no attachment to ‘Utopia’. He wanted to go back to reality and see his family, so waking him up was easy.

“Do you think he will be fine?”

“He will be fine. His family didn’t give up and stayed by his side.”

“Well······ I hope they don’t blame him after seeing the hospital bills. The ‘Utopia’ usage fee is not cheap, you know?”

Park Siwan frowned and looked at Chunbaek.

“You, whenever I see you······ you’re too materialistic, aren’t you? You’re not very human-like.”

“That’s because I’m not human.”

“Oh, right.”

He forgot that Chunbaek was an artificial intelligence, since he was always with him in ‘Utopia’.

Park Siwan opened the fan in his hand. The case subject’s ideal world was a historical drama that he was impressed by when he was young.

“Do you want to log out?”

“I have to.”

“Then I’ll see you in the next ‘Utopia’.”

Chunbaek said goodbye without any regret. His silver hair and purple robe suited him well.

“What do you do here when I log out?”

“I just······ wait.”

“Me?”

“Yes, master.”

Park Siwan hesitated a bit and sat next to Chunbaek.

“I still have some time left, so let’s go later······.”

“Really?”

Chunbaek’s expression brightened noticeably. He smiled brightly like a child. No wonder he forgot that he was an artificial intelligence.

“Master, what was your dream?”

“What?”

“Your future aspiration.”

Park Siwan looked at the distant sky. His expression was filled with regret and longing.

“I wanted to do music······ being a pianist was my dream.”

“You seem to have a lot of sensitivity, unlike your appearance.”

“What did you say?”

Park Siwan gave Chunbaek a headlock. Chunbaek didn’t feel any pain and spoke with his usual blank expression.

“Don’t you regret it? You gave up your dream and work under Park Chairman, whom you hate so much.”

“That’s all in the past······.”

Park Siwan loosened his arm.

Art was the realm of talent, and he lacked talent compared to his peers. And he thought this job suited him to some extent······ and he had someone he had to find.

“What about you?”

It was ridiculous to ask such a question to an artificial intelligence, but he felt like Chunbaek would give a plausible answer. 

He was different from other artificial intelligences, showing more human aspects.

“I, well······.”

Chunbaek blinked his right eye habitually. And he looked at Park Siwan with a blank face. 

Park Siwan pulled his head back at the creepy atmosphere.

“I want to destroy this world.”

“What?”

“······Time’s up. Goodbye.”

‘Dreaming’ depicted Park Siwan and Chunbaek’s activities in various time periods. 

In the process, writer Jeong Dahee and director Lee Sooji maintained the tension by dropping important hints.

-Jin Suho’s acting is crazy

[Dreaming] The more I watch this drama, the more fun it is. The plot, the chemistry, the acting are all amazing.

-Where can I find an artificial intelligence like Chunbaek?

-But isn’t Chunbaek a bit too strong?

└222

└From his meaningful expressions and the intense background music, I think Chunbaek is actually the hidden villain.

└└I think so too. From the clues about the bug that occurred in Utopia, I think Chunbaek himself might be a bug.

└Isn’t it just because Yoo Yeon Seo can’t act yet?

‘Dreaming’ achieves 15.9% ratings… Breaks its own record

‘Dreaming’ Chunbaek wishes to destroy Utopia… Is Yoo Yeon Seo an enemy or an ally?

[Summary] JSTV’s ‘Dreaming’ captures laughter, emotion, and social issues

The ratings were stable in double digits despite being a cable TV. There were also expectations that the last episode would reach 20%. The export contracts were also announced one after another. The fans of ‘Dreaming’ were already conducting a Blu-ray demand survey.

“Hyung, I’m watching the drama well.”

“So, is Chunbaek a villain?”

The group members who did the group project with Yoo Yeon Seo got an A+ without him. It was the victory of capital.

“Check it out on the broadcast.”

“Ah…”

The group members sighed regretfully.

“Hyung, don’t take a leave of absence next semester. If there’s a group project, do it with me.”

“Me too!”

The business administration department was famous for having a lot of group projects. Everyone was already laying the groundwork to be in the same group as Yoo Yeon Seo.

Yoo Yeon Seo chuckled and got into his car.

When Yoo Yeon Seo finished his semester, ‘Dreaming’ was also heading to the end. 

It was the episode where the last case’s story and Park Siwan, who was looking for his mother, found an important clue.

“Is this the case selected for the social contribution program?”

“Yes. His body has recovered and his neural response is good, so we should wake him up soon. But…”

Social contribution program. It was a program that selected patients who were unfortunate or poor and connected them to ‘Utopia’ for free to heal their bodies in reality.

‘Lee Minseong, 21 years old. Paralyzed from a traffic accident a year ago. Connected to Utopia for 11 months…’

Park Siwan flipped through the case’s profile and looked at Yang Juhee, who was hesitating.

“That… He was traveling with his family and got hit by a drunk driver. They all died and he was the only survivor.”

Park Siwan swallowed his breath.

“Then… He has no other family? Grandparents or…”

“His parents were orphans, so he has no relatives. Even if we take responsibility for his future with a scholarship system…”

“He doesn’t know, right? That his family is all dead?”

Yang Juhee bit her lower lip and nodded.

“You want me to wake him up?”

“…Yes.”

Yang Juhee and Park Siwan let out a heavy sigh.

“If you’re uncomfortable, you don’t have to do it. I’ll pass it on to another team member…”

“No, I have to do it.”

I don’t know if it will go well. Park Siwan closed his eyes tightly.

When he first came to the risk management team, he didn’t care about the case’s story. 

He didn’t care about how the case would live in reality after he woke him up.

To him, waking up the people in ‘Utopia’ was just… a job. He had no other emotions.

[Everything I want is here.]

[You will regret it.]

But he was bothered by the chairman’s mother and Chunbaek’s ominous words.

What if I wake him up and he finds out that his family is all dead? What will happen to him?

“…I’ll connect.”

“Confirmed, Siwan. Log out if it’s too hard.”

Yang Juhee hesitated for a moment, then gathered her courage and grabbed Park Siwan’s hand. Park Siwan was surprised and opened his eyes wide, then smiled softly and held her hand. He felt the warmth of Yang Juhee’s hand.

“Welcome, master.”

As soon as Park Siwan connected to ‘Utopia’, Chunbaek was already waiting for him. He narrowed his eyes when he saw the smile on Park Siwan’s lips.

“Did something good happen?”

“No?”

“Don’t tell me… You and Dr. Yang Juhee got along well? Master, tell me the story.”

Chunbaek giggled and followed Park Siwan, buzzing around him. Why are you happier than me when I got along with Yang Juhee?

Park Siwan shook off the annoying silver hair and frowned.

“What did you mean by what you said before?”

“What?”

“That you want to destroy this world.”

Chunbaek paused for a moment, then smiled.

Chunbaek showed more human expressions as he spent more time with Park Siwan, but now he had a mechanical smile like when they first met. 

Park Siwan felt a sense of discomfort at his appearance.

“How could I do that? If I destroy this world, I will disappear too.”

“…”

“It’s just curiosity. I wonder what will happen to the ‘drifters’ in this world if I destroy it. Will they wake up forcibly?”

Park Siwan crossed his arms. In the distance, he saw the ‘room of memory’ of this case.

“Well… Isn’t that the same as waking them up forcibly? That method is… dangerous.”

It wasn’t for nothing that there was a risk management team. If they turned off the ‘Utopia’ device and woke up the case forcibly, nine out of ten cases would have their minds collapse, so they had to be careful.

“Yes, it is.”

“By the way, you know the case’s story, right?”

“Yes, Dr. Yang Juhee just updated the information. It’s a pity, he’s still young…”

Park Siwan let out a heavy sigh.

“Is this right, waking him up?”

Chunbaek blinked his right eye and looked at Park Siwan’s expression.

“It’s up to you, master.”
