윤여주
The author is here?!!
김남준 관장
Take him to the director's office.
윤여주
yes!!
윤여주
Author, you came here without even contacting me?
김석진
Uh, Curator Yoon? I think it's best to answer now.
윤여주
what···.
김석진
I will accept your exhibition proposal.
윤여주
Really?!!
With just one word of acceptance, all my sadness from earlier vanished. After all, my goal was the exhibition, and even if it was Seokjin, that wouldn't change. Now, all I had to do was get the director to accept.
윤여주
Oh, first, the director told me to take you to his office, so I went in and talked to him.
김석진
Yes, that's right.
김남준 관장
Ah, hello. Thank you for stopping by. I'm Kim Nam-joon, director of the Utta Art Museum.
김석진
Hello, my name is Kim Seok-jin.
윤여주
Director, the artist has accepted the exhibition.
김남준 관장
Thank you. I really wanted to meet you, too, so thank you for coming again. Actually, I just saw your work for the first time. Our curator, Yoon, has a discerning eye and doesn't disappoint.
김석진
I'm even more grateful that we're able to hold an exhibition like this at the Uta Art Museum. You may have heard about this, but I have face blindness.
Honestly, I was a little nervous. Things were going well, so I was worried that bringing this up might cause a bit of a stir. But the director was definitely not the type to turn down a request.
김남준 관장
So what? We'll do our best to help if we can, and you, the artist, just focus on the exhibition. Don't worry about that.
김석진
Thank you so much for saying that...
윤여주
Author, if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know. I'll do whatever it takes.
김남준 관장
That's right. You can use it as you wish, as I am the curator in charge of the author.
김석진
Thank you so much. While I'm here, would it be okay if I took a quick look around the art gallery? As long as I don't disturb you?
윤여주
Of course! Follow me!
김남준 관장
It was really nice meeting you today, author. I'll see you at the exhibition.
김석진
Thank you, Director Kim Nam-joon. See you next time.
김석진
I can look around by myself, but am I bothering you?
윤여주
Not at all.
김석진
Anyway, I won't remember it well later, so I'll just get a feel for it and go.
윤여주
Yeah. Maybe here...
김석진
Oh, sorry.
I was trying to press the automatic door switch, and as I pressed it at the same time, my hand touched the writer's. We both pulled away in surprise, and from that moment on, we suddenly became awkward. It was such a strange feeling. Even now, I can't quite figure out how I feel.
윤여주
Come in. This is my favorite exhibition hall. I only open it when absolutely necessary, but if it's for the artist, it could be used.
김석진
May I ask why you love this place?
윤여주
There's a small theater over there where we're screening short documentaries by the writers. We're even filming them ourselves, so it's quite meaningful.
김석진
It's so good.
윤여주
Okay? Then shall we just proceed here?
김석진
You're so fast, curator.
윤여주
Oh lol was that so?
김석진
Curator, this is the first time I've seen you smile so brightly.
윤여주
ah···.
김석진
Keep smiling. You look prettier when you smile.
What the heck, this guy... I'd already given up on my unrequited love a long time ago, but he keeps shaking my heart. If you don't mean it, you shouldn't have said it in the first place. I naturally changed the subject.
윤여주
Uh... I don't know how things will change here yet, since the exhibition planning hasn't been finalized yet. Once it's decided, I'll come back to see the artwork.
김석진
Yes, please contact me. Thank you for taking the time to show me around.
윤여주
No, that's what I do. I'm a curator, but I also do it because I want to as a fan.
김석진
Thank you. I'll go. Don't come out. Hey! Don't come out!
윤여주
Be careful on your way in!
김태형 큐레이터
Are you here?
윤여주
huh.
김태형 큐레이터
You seemed unwell earlier, but you're feeling better now?
윤여주
Is this okay... I'm not sure.
김태형 큐레이터
Why? What is it?
윤여주
I just want to be alone and collect my thoughts. Sorry, just give me some time.
김태형 큐레이터
···all right.
Actually... I did try to act okay in front of the author. I really hated it, but I didn't want to show it in front of the author. But I had no idea I'd be struggling this much. The author doesn't even remember, but I...
윤여주
under···.
I'm usually a tearjerker, but I didn't realize I cried this much. I really don't want to do this again. Is this unrequited love starting again?
MEY메이
Thank you for coming today! I'm so happy that I've been receiving attention from the start!!! It's a shame, but I can't post every weekend ㅠㅠㅠ See you next Monday!! 🫶
