Genius Archer Streaming Season 1 Episode 82
29. Fan Service (2)
The place where Sang-hyeon lives is an underdeveloped area where the term ‘little village’ would be appropriate.
Steep stairs that are far from convenient, low roofs, anachronistic red brick houses, and old streetlights that turn on and off repeatedly.
It was an unfamiliar environment for Joo-hyuk, who had only lived in wealthy neighborhoods.
“ha. “Every time I go down these damn stairs, it’s a time of suffering.”
Joo Hyuk frowned.
Everything else is good, but I just wish they had done something about the stairs.
It’s winter soon, so how can I handle it when it snows?
First of all, the people who live here can’t even dream of owning a car, and even walking up the mountain seems difficult without purchasing equipment.
At least that’s what it seemed to Joohyuk.
“Hey. My grandmother used to come up here in the winter too.”
Sang-Hyeon rebukes Joo-Hyeok for his grumbling.
I have nothing to say since my grandmother also came and went.
“Ha. That’s because I’m weak.”
“cancer. then.”
Sang-Hyeon nodded with satisfaction. Then he went down ahead of Ju-Hyeok. Saying, “Ah, I’m hungry. Let’s go quickly.”
Joohyuk also smiled and picked up the pace.
Squeak.
I was hit on the forehead by a door that suddenly opened next to me.
puck!
“Ah-oh! “This damn town!”
also… … No matter how good I evaluated it, it was difficult to see it as a neighborhood I wanted to live in.
You could get hit in the forehead by your neighbor’s front door as you go down the stairs. Hoegye-dong is truly a backward area.
“uh… … ?”
Still, if there is one good thing about Hugye-dong, it is the good neighbors.
Wasn’t Seo Ji-ah also one of those neighbors?
“It hurts a lot?”
Jia came out wearing a thick red scarf that matched her well.
Her eyes were round.
As soon as I left the house, the first thing I saw was Kim Joo-hyuk with an arrogant frown on his face, so it was worth it.
“… … Ah. Ji, Ji-ah. Haha.”
Joo-hyuk forced his frown to disappear, but to Sang-hyun, his face looked even scarier.
“it’s okay… … . “What can I do?”
“This neighborhood has a bit of a strange design.”
“Right? Haha. I feel like telling the city planner to live here.”
Sanghyun intervened at this point.
“I see you often, by chance.”
“Ah, Almond. hello.”
Almond.
Sang-Hyeon scratched his head.
“I wonder where you’re going.”
“yes?”
“Aren’t you two going somewhere to have fun?”
“ah. I’m not going to have fun… … .”
Joohyuk intervenes.
“Let’s go eat. Would you like to go with me?”
* * *
“Here we go.”
In the place that Joo-hyuk pointed to, there was a sign the size of a door with the words ‘Oh Kang-woo Kimchi Stew’ written in flashy, eye-sore primary colors.
“This place is famous these days.”
“Oh yeah? haha. This is a secret, but this is a secret for us… … .”
“hey. “Let’s go quickly.”
When Joo-hyuk tried to tell Seo Ji-ah nonsense, Sang-hyun took the lead and headed to a kimchi stew restaurant.
In fact, the reason he took the lead was not only to interrupt Joo-hyuk.
‘What is it? It seems like it’s looking at me… … .’
There was another reason that was bigger.
-That… … hey?
-Well I… … place.
Groan. Groan.
A strange whisper tormented my ears.
He had been feeling the gaze of people watching him since a while ago.
Since coming downtown, I’ve had a strangely uncomfortable feeling.
‘Let’s just go in quickly.’
I thought it would be better if I went inside the kimchi stew restaurant.
But his thoughts were far wrong.
“welcome! 10,000 years of tradition… … .”

Squeak.
As soon as the door opened, the staff shouted loudly as they had known.
“Welcome! A ten-thousand-year tradition! A taste of hell! It’s Ogangwoo Kimchi Jjigae!!!”
A 10,000-year-old tradition.
Another hardship of this job was having to say these absolutely ridiculous things all the time.
Oh Dong-san, the owner of this chain store, always thought, ‘Just give it about a thousand years.’
Honestly, I always thought it was such an extreme concept, but since the president had just come and threatened to leave, I had to keep the concept.
“Make it exactly the same. Ten thousand years. Not a thousand years, not a hundred years. Ten thousand years! And the taste of hell! Got it?”
What kind of chain store manager would go against his wishes when he orders something like this?
“I’ve got a really hot friend to do an advertisement with this guy. He’s going to make a lot of money. That’s how I see it! Don’t worry! Just follow me! Got it?!”
ah. Yeah yeah. He said it was hot.
Looking at the picture, I don’t even know who it is. Her face was handsome.
Phew… … Okay. It’s a fact that business is good. Let’s just shut up and do the same.
Squeak.
The door opens again.
look? Are you saying business is going well?
“welcome! 10,000 years of tradition… … .”
uh?
The store manager, who had been greeting me casually, tilted his head.
“A taste of hell! “Oh Kang-Woo’s kimchi stew!!!”
But the loud shouts of other staff members filled the empty space again.
The strange question that arose in my head did not go away.
‘Where have I seen this friend before?’
The shorter of the three who just came in.
Where haven’t I seen it before? It looked familiar. The familiarity was too severe.
“Gyaaaah!”
But before that question could be resolved, a scream was heard. Store manager Oh Dong-san’s head turned around.
Did you spill some kimchi stew?
“Amon… … almond!”
Almonds? Where can I find something like that here?
Is this a kimchi stew restaurant?
“what’s the matter!”
The store manager shouted loudly. The female employee’s eyes were fixed on the group that had just entered, so the store manager did not even look back.
Knock. Knock.
Oh Dong-san, who couldn’t see it, went and touched his shoulder.
“What.”
“Hey, that’s Almond.”
“… … Are you a person?”
“Oh, no! Streamer Almonds! I don’t know?”
Streamer?
I’m forty, man.
“How do I know about streamers… … .”
ah.
Only then did Oh Dong-san realize. Why did the female employee talk to her as if it was obvious that she knew about Streamer Almond?
Of course I had to know.
Of course you should know! Odongsan! You idiot!
“ah! That ad… … !”
Even 10 minutes before opening, the franchise representative was so condescending that he placed an ad on this person!
They work so hard!
‘But what on earth are almonds? ‘Is it enough to be condescending?’
O Dong-san whispered to the female employee.
‘Among people who like games, it’s hot. In my own way. depending on! Still, honestly, it’s better than the commercials from broadcasting companies that are all failing these days.’
‘Oh, really? The world has really changed.’
‘Right? And once… … .’
‘?’
‘You’re handsome, right!?’
Hahaha!
O Dong-san’s face crumpled as he burst into laughter from ear to ear.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
“That’s it. If you know it well, take charge and serve it. “I will take care of the service.”
“yep! I… … But can I come get an autograph?”
“……Do whatever you feel like.”
“Ahh! Loyalty! Loyalty!”
* * *
As soon as he entered, he suddenly screamed and pointed at himself.
ah… … almond! while doing.
Sanghyun is not a fool either, now I know.
‘Do you know what an almond is?’
I always thought we were apart.
Gaming communities, virtual reality games, and lintels are said to be a different world from reality.
So the people who lived there also arbitrarily thought that it was a different world.
But if you think about it, even Sanghyun, who has never played a game, knows who Bubblegum is.
Seo Ji-ah also recognized Sang-hyeon in the neighborhood and followed him.
It wouldn’t be surprising at all if someone recognized me in the city.
“I guess you’re a fan.”
Seo Ji-ah muttered while glancing at the female employees.
The eyes are subtly cold.
“He’s not a fan, he’s just someone who recognizes me.”
For some reason, Sang-Hyeon answered as if making an excuse. Ju-Hyeok just snickered at the sight.
“Wow. This is so popular.”
When Sang-hyeon tries to say something to Joo-hyuk.
The female employee from earlier approached me.
He came over and stuck next to Sang-Hyeon, handing him the menu.
It looked like a cat, but acted exactly like a dog.
“I’m here to take your order!”
Looking at the menu, it was pretty simple. So I liked it.
“I would like three servings of Nine Heavenly Hell Kimchi Stew, please.”
“yes! Nine thousand won! Nine thousand hells! kimchi soup! “This is an expensive menu, so it specifically includes octopus. Do you mention seafood?”
Only Seo Ji-ah opened her mouth.
“Please give me a bottle of soju too.”
“Soju! Okay!”
The staff shouted loudly to the kitchen and handed over the menu.
and… … .
“I… … .”
Soon, he blushes and hands something to Sang-Hyeon.
“You’re Almond, right? “Can you give me your autograph?”
It’s come.
Sang-Hyeon nodded.
Of course you should do it. In fact, I was his first fan who approached me asking for an autograph.
“Ah. Yes. Of course.”
“Yay!”
She was jumping around openly.
The employee was wondering if this was allowed, but the person who seemed to be the boss was looking at him with a pleased expression.
Ssssssss.
Sanghyun roughly signed his name as if he were making an approval. In fact, it’s not roughly, this is the only sign that I know how to do.
“I! Even the name! please write it down! Lee Joo-hyun!”
“Ah yes.”
“Ah, I love Lee Joo-hyun there! “Do it!”
“ah… … .”
Sanghyeon, who had been writing along without thinking, was startled.
“yes?”
I love you.
“… … Oh, no?”
This was embarrassing.
Sang-hyeon’s spirit is still that of an ordinary person. To him, the words ‘I love you’ felt quite heavy.
“Oh, if that doesn’t work… … .”
The employee’s eyes were smiling, but they were filled with tears.
“Well, just give me your name… … .”
“yes. All right.”
Sang-Hyeon never wrote, “I love you.”
She returned, hugging the autograph like it was a precious heirloom.
“Whoa.”
Sanghyeon took a deep breath only after the female employee had gone far enough.
“What, what just now?”
“Well. “It’s the sorrow of a celebrity.”
Joo Hyuk chuckled.
That kid has been smiling a lot these days.
“thank god.”
Seo Ji-ah mumbled as she looked at the female employee.
“… … What?”
“Just. Nothing much happened.”
Those words were meaningless, as another shadow fell over Sanghyun.
“Hey, hey… … .”
This time it wasn’t an employee.
“I… …Can I take a picture with you?”
She was one of the women who had been glancing at Sanghyun from outside earlier.
It even followed me to a kimchi stew restaurant!
“Uh… … By any chance, weren’t you there from outside?”
“ah… … .”
The woman’s face turned bright red, perhaps because of the cold weather.
“yes… … . Well, I’m going to eat here. “Don’t worry about being a nuisance.”
It was right that I followed you.
To use a cliché expression, it looks like it has grown like a flower in a greenhouse.
How could a woman like that be so bold as to follow me here? Sanghyun couldn’t believe it.
“I’ll take a picture for you.”
Sanghyun got up from his seat and posed naturally.
The photo was taken by Seo Ji-ah.
“Thank you! Wow!”
After checking the photos taken, the group returned to their seats.
Sang-Hyeon looked at the store manager and apologized.
“sorry. “I didn’t know it would turn out like this.”
“Ah… … No! What are you saying? I am grateful!”
“… … ?”
thanks?
Why is the store manager grateful?
Sang-Hyeon was momentarily confused, but when he followed the store manager’s pleased gaze, he immediately saw the answer.
A few more teams were coming in behind them, and it seemed like everyone was looking at Almond as they came in.
‘There’s no way I could be this famous.’
It is true that almonds are famous, but they are not so famous that everyone recognizes them on the street.
This is because of Sang-Hyeon’s face. His face stands out more than you might think. He is immediately recognizable even in a crowd of people passing by.
Usually, even if you are a fan of a celebrity, there is a high chance that you will pass them by on the street without noticing them.
Sang-Hyeon is not like that.
That’s why you don’t have to be a big star to get this level of attention.
“Oh, almonds? Really? Sir, we’ll have 666 kimchi stew for two.”
“what should I do… … .”
“Is that him?”
“Can’t I ask to take a picture?”
“Who is the woman next to you?”
“Well. Little brother?”
Once you notice it, you can hear it.
Everyone was talking about almonds.
Sang-Hyeon’s heart was pounding.
A few fans approach, keeping an eye on him.
“Almond, could you take a picture of me too?”
“I am a sign!”
The store manager also said it was better.
There is no reason for Sanghyun to refuse.
“Sure.”
He grinned and stood up.
* * *
At that time, Almond, a rookie star, was just beginning to feel his popularity.
An account that had been inactive for a long time became ‘live’.
[Electromagnetic Wave starts streaming!]
It was a comeback after a full three years.
