Chapter 41 - The Quiet Composure of Im Giseok

That day, during a break in the filming of <>, Lee Hayoon and Yoo Oncheong glanced at Im Giseok's expression.

Those people criticize him a lot on the internet, but Im Giseok's face remained calm and indifferent, showing no hint of anger.

People online, who had never met Im Giseok, assumed he was the type to get mad easily.

He did come across as pretty arrogant online, but in real life, Im Giseok was actually more composed than most, which made Lee Hayoon feel there was a stark contrast.

At least, with <> becoming a huge hit, Im Giseok himself did not seem overly proud.

As the popularity of <> grew day by day, Im Giseok, as the screenwriter, received many offers.

Compared to his current level of fame, the payment he got for writing <> wasn't very high, but Im Giseok never mentioned raising his fee.

In the screenwriting industry, there are plenty of cases where writers ask for a raise halfway through the project.

The whole day, Im Giseok quietly kept typing away.

Lee Hayoon checked his Chirp account and saw that Kim Soseong had taken photos with many celebrities at the anniversary celebration.

Several graduates from the Silla National Film Institute even went out of their way to take pictures with him.

After looking through a few, Lee Hayoon noticed some comments saying many of those graduates were Im Giseok's classmates.

[ Judging from this, you can see what kind of person Im Giseok and Kim Soseong really are. ]

[ Not every rude person can be called straightforward, thank you very much. ]

[ Is Im Giseok completely abandoned by everyone now? ]

Even though he wasn't involved, Lee Hayoon felt angry seeing these sarcastic comments.

Although he hadn't been there when Kim Soseong pinned the blame on Im Giseok, he had been a screenwriter before and understood how the industry worked.

In this field, there wasn't really a matter of who was good or bad, just the raw, naked truth of interests.

But Lee Hayoon also knew that with so many big names attending the Silla National Film Institute's anniversary, the school wouldn't allow Kim Soseong's bad reputation to spread, just to keep the event running smoothly.

After all, Kim Soseong was an invited guest.

Just as he was about to say something in Im Giseok's defense, Lee Hayoon suddenly got kicked by Yoo Oncheong.

After a whole day of shooting, Lee Hayoon was counting down in his head—due to Im Giseok's high efficiency and the excellent quality of his script, the filming of <> was moving much faster than Lee Hayoon had planned.

This not only saves time but, more importantly, also saves money.

Yoo Oncheong's kick interrupted the words Lee Hayoon had been preparing.

He glanced at Yoo Oncheong in frustration, but Yoo Oncheong grabbed his phone and switched the screen.

Lee Hayoon saw it was Im Giseok's Chirp profile.
