Chapter I

The matter of adding a cottage to Anseong was completed in mid-September, Ahn Jun-hyuk, who was busy with the tediousness of starting school and the preparation of the movie, did not interfere, everything was led by Lin Xiujing, choosing a house, settling down, and decorating, one night, she drove him out of school, mysteriously blindfolded him, took him to the outskirts of Anseong, walked along the stone road with obvious gaps for a while, and then took off the handkerchief that blindfolded him.

In the gloomy tones of the evening, the forest was cold, and the dark shadows of the mountains crossed from the left side of the field of vision, and were immediately cut off by brilliant lights—a small villa nestled in the forest at the foot of the mountain, a few branches gloomily surrounded the villa in the background of the mountains and night, and the lawn had not been tended and was not very smooth, but all this could not hide the tenderness that suddenly rose in his heart the moment this small cottage met his eyes.

The lights of the villa are on, large and small windows, the light spreads from the inside, and outside, strings of small colored lights hang on the edges of the building, and a faint halo of light swayes, connecting together to outline the colorful outline, and the dark night in the forest collapses.

Ahn Junhyuk lowered his head, looked at Lin Xiujing, who was looking at him with a smile with his eyes slightly bent, and said in a low voice: "Why are you so romantic?"

Grinning and hugging his arm, she didn't answer anything, but her eyes were soft.

She had always wanted to have a home where it was just him and her.

Her ideal life is for the two of them to stay in a quiet room, they either read a book or watch TV, and the lights or sunlight linger around. Occasionally, when I think about it, I might stare at an empty spot in the room and discuss what decorations to buy and put there, such as a guitar from Ahn Joon-hyuk's favorite brand, such as a painting she likes.

She never said these ideals, she knew that he had a lot of things that he couldn't let go, and she hoped that she could try to find a balance between the selfishness of love and the tolerance of love.

That night, the new room was made on the bed she had chosen and the sheets she had washed. She gasped violently. Bearing Ahn Joon-hyuk's bump from above, he hugged him hard to keep himself closer to him, and repeated in his ear urgently, "Joon-hyuk." Hold me tight. Don't leave me......"

What does that feel like?

Ahn Jun-hyuk is not Lim so-jeong. Unable to comprehend the complexity of her heart, he didn't even know how to say it, when she was in the last moan of suppressed and almost dying. Biting his lip hard, the tears that slipped down were sweet or bitter.

The next morning, he woke up from the haze, and she was still busy with housework in her home clothes, as she usually did every morning without work, and then she smiled softly at him at the sound of his slippers.

It was supposed to feel heavy, but in her business, it will always become easy happiness!

Time is in such a vein of happiness, slowly entering the golden autumn.

The news of Ahn Jun-hyuk's admission to the Department of Drama, Film and Television caused a sensation at Chung-Ang University for a while, and in the very beginning, not only the students of the Anseong campus often waited outside the film and television major building, but even the Seoul campus had students come to try to meet the real person of the big star.

But no matter how sensational things are, they will still be smoothed out by time, the noise and triviality of admission gradually precipitate into calm as time fades, and similar calm seems to spread to all aspects with the arrival of golden autumn, media public opinion is finally tired after more than half a month of disputes, and the topic of the entertainment industry no longer revolves around "The King's Man", and the news that the Korean film "Going Out" and "Criminal" attended the 30th Toronto Film Festival together began to turn mainstream in public opinion.

The media has spared no effort to pursue them as always, and these two films have gathered the most influential superstars in South Korea at present, Ha Ji Won, Kang Dong Won, Ahn Sung-ki of "Criminal", and Bae Yongjun and Son Ye-jin of "Going Out".

The media dubbed them the "clash of superstars"!

Jiang Dongyuan, who became popular from "The Temptation of the Wolf", is the hottest newcomer on the big screen in the past two years, and the media predicts that he is about to take over the baton from his predecessors and sprint to the road of the king, and even predicts that his popularity will catch up with the seniors Zhang Dongjian, Lee Byung-hun, Bae Yongjun and others in a very short period of time and become a new box office celebrity.

Nowadays, the old and the new are on the same stage, not only the release time is similar, but they are even invited to participate in the Toronto Film Festival at the same time, such a story has always been a favorite of the media, not to mention, the heroines of the two movies also have a "-for-tat" flavor.

In recent years, Ha Ji Won, who is gradually moving towards the status of the queen of commercial films, and Son Ye-jin, who has almost dominated the field of literary films since "If Love Has Providence", are inevitably often compared by the media.

The wind of public opinion began to fall into another craze due to such stimulation, and on the Internet, the major communities previously ruled by Ahn Junhyuk's supporters and opponents were also occupied by the supporters of the two films "Criminal" and "Outing", predicting the box office and predicting the awards, "The King's Man" seems to be a thing of the past.

This made Quan Baogen, who has been paying attention to public opinion, secretly relieved, but also inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Ha Luha, Jun Hyuk, how do you feel about being overshadowed by our limelight?

Ahn Jun-hyuk called Ha Ji Won to congratulate her on the release of her new film, Ha Ji Won's teasing can be regarded as pointing out the reason why Kwon Bo is unhappy, the relationship between the agent and the artist is both prosperous and lossy, and when he is in the forefront of public opinion, he has to worry about whether he is too showy and out of the public eye, and he has to worry about whether he will lose popularity.

When I made this call, the maple leaves in the corner of the Anseong campus were already slightly red, and the autumn gloom was quietly coming, walking on the soft lawn of the campus, in the distance in the girls' dormitory of Mingdeok Cave, the sound of warblers and swallows was faintly heard under the clear and lofty blue sky.

After not seeing each other for many days, after teasing, the two chatted casually on the phone.

"Jun Hyuk, have you really thought about that "The King's Man"? I have also received rumors in the circle recently, many second-tier actors are reluctant to participate, and you are not a newcomer, even if you want to enter the big screen, with your popularity, you don't have to worry about having no scripts to choose from, why choose such a controversial one?"

For her persuasion, Ahn Junhyuk just smiled helplessly.

Ha Ji Won has always focused on the commercial part of the choice of scripts along the way, and she has always been grateful for controversial films, and the only one that is still out of line is "Color is Empty", which is also a sex comedy with a lot of market in China, and she also uses stand-ins in some scenes.

Her thinking is not wrong, and even in recent days, she is not the only one who opposes his participation in "The King's Man", the people around him, such as Kwon Bo-geun, Choi Sung-woo and Park Young-jun who is far away in the United States, have a lot of complaints about his choice, but only Jisoo and Lin Xiujing are more supportive of him...... Well, there's Lin Yun'er's babbling little guy.

But they couldn't understand the future revealed in his dream, and although the future of the dream wasn't entirely certain according to chaos theory, he would have grasped it since it had shown him some of the most probable futures.

Before taking over "The King's Man", he also hesitated, but he finally decided to seize this opportunity, so naturally he couldn't let it go.

He is now an artist, but in the most essential way of thinking, his thinking is still a businessman model - high returns are usually accompanied by high risks, and if he backs down because the risks are too high, he will go against his heart!

It was probably in his laughter that he heard the helplessness and decision, and on the other side of the phone, Ha Ji Won did not persuade him more, and instead began to complain.

"Those media are really annoying, they are going around provoking the relationship between me and Son Ye-jin, they really dare to say anything in order to attract attention, and some small newspapers and magazines even fabricate rumors, saying that our relationship is not compatible or something...... Ahem, although I really don't have much friendship with her...... Those fans were so excited by the media that I can't even say that I don't pursue the box office in public now, otherwise the fans will think that I am showing weakness, and they can't accept it. ”

An Junhe smiled, "Then you can just predict it!"

"Prediction is a fart, I'm a senior, people will say I'm proud!"

…… You're already proud of that tone......

Ahn Jun-hyuk rolled his eyes, he couldn't remember exactly what the box office of "Criminal" and "Outing" was, so he could only analyze it from the film. Judging from the lineup and storytelling, "Criminal" has a wider audience than "Going Out", and the ethical theme of "Going Out" has a natural weakness, and it may not be able to pose a threat to "Criminal" in the local market, and Ha Ji Won's victory should be reasonable.

About a week later, when the war between "Criminal" and "Outing" was in full swing, the dark horse of "You Are My Destiny" came out, and it topped the box office in the first week of release, and the first two became the biggest tragedy of this year's superstar lineup, the two movies were watched by 1.2 million and 800,000 viewers respectively, and the crown of the best-selling actress of the year was easily folded by Jeon Do-yeon, who participated in "You Are My Destiny" after them, Ha Ji Won and Son Ye-jin became the green leaves of the foil flowers.

Even Ha Ji Won is the most unlucky, although the local box office of "Criminal" is slightly better than "Going Out", but overseas, "Criminal" has failed, but "Going Out" has come back to life, making a lot of money in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan and Japan, sweeping the major box office lists.

Of course, that's an afterthought.

After chatting with Ha Ji Won for a while, and finally hung up the phone because of the other party's busy schedule, Ahn Jun Hyuk wandered around the campus for a while, because he was afraid of being entangled by those girls in Myeongdeok Ildong, he walked around the vast lawn, preparing to go back from the road behind the girls' dormitory, and when he passed by a row of benches, a person stopped him.

"Ahn Joon-hyuk xi!"

The voice was crisp, somewhat familiar, and he turned around, and behind the bench, under an evergreen tree as large as an umbrella cover, a girl with a book in her hand smiled and raised her hand to him. (To be continued......)
