If pain has a forecast

김태형 큐레이터
Curator Yoon, what are you going to do now?
윤여주
Do you have any writers in mind?
김태형 큐레이터
Oh... the curator is too precise... If not, I'll look it up right now.
윤여주
No. It's my fault, so I'll take care of it. I sent the email yesterday. The odds are 50/50.
김태형 큐레이터
What are you going to do? The manager will be here soon...
윤여주
If it doesn't work, we have to do something.
zzzzz
윤여주
Huh? I'm the writer...!
김태형 큐레이터
The timing is amazing! What are you talking about?!!
윤여주
Thank you for··· 하···.
A refusal is usually followed by a polite "thank you." It included the "but," which I really hoped wouldn't be there. It meant I appreciated the offer, but I was declining.
김태형 큐레이터
It seems like they won't be exhibiting in our country either...
윤여주
No... He said he wanted to do it with me if possible. He said his schedule was already full, so there was nothing he could do. Would it have been different if he had contacted me a little sooner...?
김태형 큐레이터
Well... there's nothing I can do.
윤여주
Are you talking like it's someone else's business?
김태형 큐레이터
I don't think there's no way out. This time, may I dare make a suggestion?
윤여주
Just tell me some weird stories.
김태형 큐레이터
What do you think of the integrated exhibition of artists who have exhibited so far?
윤여주
what···?
김태형 큐레이터
Right now, since it's a special exhibition, there's not much time to find the artist, so wouldn't it be better to have an integrated exhibition for the director to approve?
김태형 큐레이터
Of course... there may be a situation where we have to call writer Kim Seok-jin again...
윤여주
······.
김태형 큐레이터
There's no time to worry. The manager is here.
윤여주
uh···?
김남준 관장
Good morning. Curator Yoon will be here in five minutes.
윤여주
yes···!
···
김태형 큐레이터
Fortunately, he doesn't seem to be in a bad mood.
윤여주
But will it work...?
김태형 큐레이터
There's no way it won't work out. Just give it a try. Of course, I'm not sure all artists will approve, but since it's a special exhibition organized by the curator, I don't think they'd reject it without a valid reason, right?
윤여주
What the... I can't refuse since Curator Kim said so much.
김태형 큐레이터
Hahaha, of course, it's just a suggestion. The decision is up to the curator.
윤여주
···Okay, I'll just give it a try. I'll go and come back.
김태형 큐레이터
Have a nice trip.
김남준 관장
Your expression is full of worry?
윤여주
Did you get the tea?
김남준 관장
What is it? Did it not go well?
Judging by the director's tone and expression, I felt like it wasn't too much of a stretch to even mention it. I spoke cautiously.
윤여주
Yes... Still, the writer said he would have liked to work with me if only he had a different schedule.
김남준 관장
Oh, really? Then, I definitely have to invite you next time.
윤여주
Yes, so the next project I'm thinking of is... I'm thinking of a special exhibition that's been integrated. It would be a shame to bring together all the artists we've gathered so far...
김남준 관장
Okay. There are too many to invite everyone, and since it's the 5th anniversary, it would be good to invite just the top 5 artists with the most visitors.
윤여주
Oh? That sounds good!
김남준 관장
Since all the writers have to give their approval, we can proceed. Once you've given your approval, report back. We should do it as quickly as possible, right?
윤여주
Oh... yes! But, sir, you've been listening to me a lot lately, haven't you?
김남준 관장
Then should I cancel the answer again?
윤여주
No!! That's not it... If even this were rejected, it would be a huge blow, but you trust me, right?
김남준 관장
Because you're Curator Yoon. Isn't it time to trust me now? There's no reason to refuse. Of course, I was very confident about the writer's work this time. Why were you so confident?
윤여주
Something like that happened... Anyway, I'll try to get good results as quickly as possible.
김남준 관장
Yeah, but you still have some time, so don't overdo it. Good luck.
윤여주
Phew... that's a relief.
윤여주
Thank you, Curator Kim.
김태형 큐레이터
I knew it would work out. I've got everything ready to contact you.
윤여주
What? Already? There are too many to invite everyone, so I decided to just invite the top five artists with the most visitors.
김태형 큐레이터
Oh? Sounds good. I'll look into your resume and get back to you right away.
윤여주
okay.
김태형 큐레이터
Oh, and Yoongi hyung said he'd buy me lunch later. The curator will be there too.
윤여주
Mr. Yoongi?
김태형 큐레이터
Yes, he said he came here because he had some business and wanted to eat with me. Oh, and why didn't you tell me you two were meeting?
윤여주
uh?
김태형 큐레이터
You said you were going to meet up. So it's not a crush... right?
윤여주
Some... right. But I feel a little strange... Is this right...?
김태형 큐레이터
Okay. I'll eat quickly and go out, so you two can talk.
윤여주
Huh? No. We're together...
김태형 큐레이터
I can't interfere between the two of you.
윤여주
By the way, check quickly and contact all the authors. I don't have time to fool around.
김태형 큐레이터
This is no joke... I understand!
I had no idea that Kim Seok-jin would be included in the Top 5 list. While the number of visitors to his exhibition was higher than expected, I hadn't anticipated this many.
MEY메이
It's been a while since I've said hello... 😊
