The Missing Child Actor Is Back

Didn’t you tell me?

“Hey look over there.”

“Ugh, no way…….”

I wondered if they were famous when I recognized the two brothers and sisters around me and saw them laughing. I wondered if it was because the siblings had outstanding looks, but I didn’t think they were celebrities. These days, students are becoming quite famous through social media and streamers.

“It’s a chore… Manager-nim, you can go first.”

“Ah yes.”

The man called the manager gave Jay a sparkling look as he withdrew. The two siblings, who had been staring at each other, quickly sat down.

“Who is this?”

“You heard from your father, you know? Your half-brother… I’m the owner of that box.”

“really?”

The questioning face was pure surprise, but not tinged with astonishment. It was clear that his father kept talking about Jay’s existence.

“Hello, um… older brother. My name is Do-jun Yoon.”

“I’m Yoon Do-hwa.”

“・・・・・Call me Jay.”

I’m also one-year-old, but is it hereditary to be good at a knock-off? Jay nodded slightly and was greeted by the two.

‘My family relationship is also very strange.’

From bloodless white families to suddenly born mothers and half-brothers. Park Hyeon-ah, who thought Jay’s empty laugh was surprised, hurriedly explained.

“They are twins, and they are 18 this year. Wasn’t that… surprised?”

“little bit. After my mother passed away, my father and I stopped coming and going.”

“Ah… you’re dead.”

In an atmosphere about to be solemn, Jay asked what that box was.

“It’s your stuff, so we can’t even touch it.”

“is that so?”

After accepting the box brought by Yoon Do-jun, Jay rips off the box’s tape. It was quite heavy, so I thought it might contain old clothes or photo albums.

“ah.”

The contents were cut out. A photo album and several trophies in a velvet box. Jay picked out the one that stood out to him.

“… you had this.”

“that······.”

The golden leaf was a trophy that industry insiders could not be aware of. Park Hyun-ah and the twins who recognized this opened their eyes wide. I thought it was just someone with the same name, but no way…

“you······?”

Jay looked at Park Hyeon-ah in confusion.

“Didn’t your father tell you?”

***

The deceased Yoon Soo-heon

Housewife Park Hyun-ah

Sangju Yoon Do-joon, Yoon Do-hwa, Yoon Jay

The name placed in front of the incense burner is unfamiliar. I changed my father’s last name because I thought someone would bother me if I used a foreign name.

‘I haven’t revealed it to my remarried partner and children, so few people know me…’

Most of the relief wreaths installed one by one at funeral halls were related to the entertainment industry. That’s why I didn’t want to reveal the fact that I was Yoon Jae-hee even more.

[Son, would you like to try this too?]

[yes!]

My childhood was quite happy. My father’s business was solid, and my parents got along well.

Yoon Jae-hee had a talent, the ability to learn anything she did like a sponge. There was a concentration that backed it up.

It wasn’t that he was clever for his age, but he was extraordinary, as if he had supernatural powers.

[Honey, isn’t Jaehee a genius?]

[why?]

[Do everything well!]

Yoon Soo-heon, a father who worked in the film industry, recognized his son’s abilities and found a way to utilize them. It was smoke.

[Do you know director Lee Young-chang?]

[He’s a good manager.]

[The director is making a new movie this time…]

[But honestly, can this be?]

[If only there was a child who was good at acting…]

[Is there such a child? Even if there is, the main character is a child, so will the investment be well received?

As soon as I heard the news, I was sure that my son would do well.

[Is the child in this book different from me?]

[okay. can you do it?]

[I want to see a child like this.]

Yoon Jae-hee had another talent. The ability to perfectly follow whatever you do after seeing it once, as if you have absorbed the other person’s life.

Yoon Je-hee, who actually met children suffering from cerebral palsy, performed perfectly at the audition site.

[at las! This is the child I was looking for!]

Director Lee Young-chang gave a standing ovation after seeing Yoon Je-hee’s performance, and the filming of ＜Children＞ was completed smoothly.

And the film unexpectedly swept domestic film festivals and became a hit at international film festivals.

[Jaehee Yoon, how do you feel about receiving the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival for the first time?]

[What project would you like to participate in in the future?]

[Is it true that you were cast in the drama ‘Violin’?]

The fame he gained at the same time as his debut became a prey for those who liked the first and the youngest. They came to the house and school to bother Yoon Jae-hee and his family.

[He said he was disabled?]

[They say it’s all lies. Like people on TV…]

[No. A transaction that can receive awards because it is truly disabled.]

Naturally, the envy and jealousy of the children in the same school followed. Even harmless comments that sympathized with him felt like being stabbed with an awl.

Wherever you go, people’s eyes follow you. Even when I was alone in my house, in my room, I felt as if someone was watching me.

[Hey, heo-eok…]

[Are you Jaehee? Jaehee!]

It was her mother who took on the role of manager instead of her father, who was busy with her own business. The mother, Jeong Yeon-jae, realized that the situation had become serious when she saw her son showing symptoms of hyperventilation while standing in front of the camera.

[mom. I’m afraid of the camera.]

He is the youngest ever to win awards at leading domestic and international film festivals.

The media praised him as a genius, and people’s expectations were raised. Due to jealousy, they even created an anti-café. To young Yoon Je-hee, all of that was a burden on her heart.

[what. They say he’s a genius, but it’s nothing.]

[Were you a porok when you were a child?]

[Let’s not burden ourselves too much. You are still a child.]

[Oh, I don’t have time… Try calling someone else.]

I was forced to participate in the schedule set by my father’s greed, but I had to go back. Seeing the back of such a child, people whispered indiscriminately.

[My child is afraid of the camera, so how can I film?]

[My son can overcome it!]

[Don’t try to make your dreams come true by using Jaehee! Do you know how hard the kid is?!]

When a child breaks down, the parents are quickly devastated. Young Yoon Je-hee thought it was because of herself. If I had just lived a normal life, I would have said I didn’t want to act.

“Are you… Jaehee?”

Yoon Jae-hee, now Yoon-J, shook off his thoughts and returned to reality. The adults on his parents’ side recognized him.

“hello.”

“oh my god. You have grown so much.”

“how have you been doing?”

***

Park Hyun-ah looked at Yoon-jae with curious eyes.

Having lived in the United States for a long time, you probably don’t know about Korean funeral culture, but after visiting the funeral home in the room next door, Yunjay was perfectly adapted to welcoming guests.

“I don’t think Director Yoon would have such a grown-up son…”

“mother. Could you come over here for a moment?”

In addition, whenever someone asked a difficult question, he showed up at the right time and took Park Hyun-ah.

“The kid is so smart.”

“Iknow, right.”

Even the family members who expressed their discomfort at the sight became quiet.

‘You grew up well.’

Park Hyeon-ah is also a drama writer, so she has heard of the fame of ‘Yoon Je-hee’.

Yoon Je-hee’s acting in ＜Children＞ was unrivaled, and she won domestic and international film festivals as the youngest person. If you read the news that year, you have no choice but to know the name.

Even until now, there were many people who were curious about the current situation.

“Look at this. An early member of the Duyuno Club.”

“Oh, there is a wiki page?”

The twins were excitedly searching for the splendid past of their half-brother.

Yunjae looked at them with a strange face. Is it because you were young? Eighteen isn’t young… but I enlisted then.

“You guys, a strange man suddenly appeared as an older brother, but are you okay?”

“I already knew it because I had heard it from my father.”

“And you don’t look like your brother. Not even strange.”

On the contrary, I had a strong desire to see it because I had a scab on my ear. Besides, the twins were able to sit comfortably thanks to Yoon-jae taking care of the troublesome tasks.

“Honestly, I like it. He’s not like his brother. I was born five minutes early. Very…”

“I don’t like younger siblings like you either, do I?”

“So, brother. Are you going back to America after the funeral?”

“Can’t we just stay here?”

Despite their father’s funeral, the twins looked bright.

They urged me to stay in Korea. Even in the eyes of the twins, Yoonjae had the impression of a vagabond. It seems as if he will disappear somewhere without any regrets when he finishes his business.

At that time, the entrance became noisy.

“Oh, the brothers are here.”

“Your members?”

In the morning, Yoon Do-hwa’s group members and agency employees swept away, but now is it Yoon Do-joon’s turn? A few well-managed children and staff rushed into the funeral home.

‘I said they were both idols.’

The twins seemed to have a competitive spirit. It is said that Yoon Do-jun entered as an idol trainee first, and Yoon Do-hwa, who hates losing, also entered as an idol trainee and debuted at about the same time.

Both groups are said to be famous in their own way, but instead of that, JYJ focused on people pointing at the camera lens at the entrance of the funeral home.

‘Are they paparazzi?’

he jumped up I used to work near Hollywood, so I’m familiar with people like that.

“hey.”

“yes?”

“You are not allowed to take pictures here.”

It seems that my younger siblings are more famous than I thought. The reporters had a blast, but now even the paparazzi. He deliberately lowered his voice and gave off an intimidating atmosphere.

“It’s a private funeral, how did you find out about this place?”

“…”

“Go away.”

“yes······.”

They stared blankly at Yoonjae, then took their cameras and retreated. Did I scare Yoon-jae too much, feeling that the other person’s soul was missing? I wanted to tilt my head.

“Hey, that’s him. Peach Mango.”

“A bad house? Are you going to quietly leave?”

“What is it? It must be because of that face.”

The agency employees who were watching the situation inside turned around and paid attention to the face of Yoonjay, who came back. The manager, who had already seen him at the cafe, asked indirectly.

“Do-joon. So who is that?”

“My older brother.”

“Didn’t you say you had a brother?”

“He’s a half-brother.”

The manager who was overhearing asked urgently.

“Ho, by any chance, what is your brother doing?”

“Now he quit his job and is resting.”

“okay?”

I could feel the eyes of the agency employees shining brightly. Their company also manages actors. Everyone seemed curious about where such a gemstone was hiding and now came out.

“Did the people from your twins’ agency come and go?”

“They have already come and gone.”

“Write it… is it late?”

It was a competition for the twins to enter as trainees. After dozens of auditions, each entered a large agency and even debuted.

“It must be too late already? Like writer Park, the deceased was also a madman in the industry.”

“Ha, that’s right… Shall we stab it for now?”

In addition, thanks to his father and mother’s connections, many people in the industry have already given Yoon-jae business cards.

Yoon Do-joon looked at the agency employees cautiously approaching Yoon-J.

‘I don’t think he likes it very much.’

As well as the sudden disappearance from the acting board. Judging from the fact that Sangju posted the name Yunjae instead of Yoonjehee… Yoon Dojun had a lot to say, but kept his mouth shut.

***

‘Not many people know that I am Yoon Jae-hee.’

When I thought about it objectively, my father was greedy and had a lot of vanity. I expected him to talk in the neighborhood, but the only people who knew him were the people from his parents’ house.

‘It’s fortunate.’

He had already searched everything about ‘Yoon Jae-hee’. I didn’t know there were still many people who knew me… I hated being bothered, so the less people recognized me, the better.

Late at night, when it was quiet, a middle-aged man entered the funeral home. Yoonjae recognized him and guided him directly.

“Rest in peace.”

“Thank you for coming.”

He scooped up the yukgaejang himself, brought it to me, and sat across from me.

“Please eat.”

“thanks.”

The man was the same as I remembered except for the wrinkles on his face and the graying of his hair. The man with a spoonful of yukgaejang looked straight at Yoonjae.

“Long time no see?”

“yes. Director.”

“Call me uncle. Just like old times.”

Director Lee Young-chang, who has created many masterpieces since ＜Children＞, has become a recognized master in the film industry. His expression showed longing, gladness, and joy.

“You’ve grown a lot.”

“Because it’s been 20 years .”
