Chapter 25 – Fluttering's Farewell Party

— I can't believe it's already the last broadcast today ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

— There won't be a Season 2, right? Please leave a scene that wasn't in the original work ㅠㅠ

— Did you see the photos of the farewell party?

— Yoon Jay in plain clothes is also crazy.

The broadcast hasn't even started yet, but online reactions have already exploded.

 

"Director -nim, please say something before the broadcast!"

Director Choi Seung-ah stood up shakily and took the microphone handed to him by someone. <Fluttering> was praised not only for the actors' performances but also for its bold colors and sensuous direction.

"You all did a lot of hard work for this drama."

As it got closer to the broadcast, the more hectic the atmosphere became, and his voice was weak. But the Director suddenly turned his head toward Yoon Jay. It was the most lively expression the Director had ever shown.

"And our Jay -ssi. There was a big incident in the middle, but fortunately, we were able to turn a crisis into an opportunity, so once again, thank you."

"Cool!"

Yoon Jay, suddenly in the spotlight, merely raised the corner of his mouth. He looked cool, too, which made the cheers even louder.

"And before the last episode broadcast, there's something I need to tell you about......"

"We're going on a reward vacation!"

"Ah! Writer -nim!"

Im Hyun-hee was quite a famous writer. Even though she had an original script, she took on the role of the writer of <Fluttering> because she was a fan of the original work. Through this drama, she earned the title of being good at adaptation.

As people cheered, Yoon Jay was confused and asked Park Seo-ahh and Kim Hyunjun next to him.

"A reward vacation?"

"From what I heard, we’re going to go to a resort like Bali or Đà Nẵng."

"Oh......"

"I don't know what's going to happen with my schedule."

That's cool, I'd love to go if I could. There's never been anything like this before. Yoon Jay's eyes twinkled.

"Jay, can you make it? You're going to get busy, right."

"I guess I'll have to see."

"One of the main actors should go, though."

Actually, I'm not going to be busy anytime soon, but I'm going to be busy with photoshoots and commercials starting tomorrow. Yoon Jay was the one who benefited the most from <Fluttering>.

Kim Hyunjun and Park Seo-ah had already advertised something, so there was a lot of overlap, and Yoon Jay was left with a clean slate as a rookie.

 

'Fluttering' ratings soar and the advertising world says, "Catch Yoon Jay".

Yoon Jay emerged as a 'blue chip in the advertising industry'... 15 companies already eyed him.

 

The immediate response from the advertising industry was an indicator of his rising popularity. Kwak Dohyun told me that some companies were already rushing to sign him to a long-term contract because they felt he was a rising star.

[Your schedule is going to be busy for a while, is that okay?]

[It's fine.]

[Just leave it to me, I'll remove the ones that are too light and only filter out the good ones.]

Yoon Jay didn't stop him. He doesn't have material desires, but isn't the more the better? The agency will take care of it.

"Keugh, I liked it when it was like this. I'm just calling it here and there and......"

"Hey. Kim Hyunjun, sometimes you're like this. If I hear that you're late for a call somewhere else, I'll......"

"Ah, Nuna. I'm really remorseful."

Kim Hyunjun pretended to be overly sullen. Later, I found out that Park Seo-ah and Kim Hyunjun are from the same agency.

He knows that he lost out to Yoon Jay in terms of acting ability and topicality, but he thought that if he participated in the Farewell Party, he would be told, 'Kim Hyunjun was pushed out by supporting role and he didn't even appear in the Farewell Party,' so he participated anyway. He doesn't know if he will see them again someday.

"Here we go!"

Hearing someone shout, Yoon Jay's head was also fixed on the TV.

 

The capital and Palace were under Lee Hwi's control. The screen shows the provincial flag fluttering due to the strong wind.

(Hang in there just a little while!)

(His Highness the Crown Prince is coming!)

This swing has been difficult to stop, even with the regression buff, but now, Lee Gun has a special ability. With the power of his accumulated artifact, he easily overpowers Lee Hwi's soldiers in the Palace.

Lee Gun led his subjects who resisted until the end, and headed to the Palace where the throne room was.

(When did he ever do that......!)

In this case, because he was the protagonist, his abilities were outstanding. Even Lee Hwi, who could block the two regressors together every time, had a talent that he was once jealous of, swordsmanship.

The screen captures the futility of this case colorfully and artistically. When Yoon Jay glanced to the side, Kim Hyunjun's cheekbones stood out significantly.

(You've come.)

In contrast to the commotion outside, it was quiet near the throne. Lee Hwi's eerie voice pierced through the silence.

Lee Hwi, who was sitting on his left, raised his head. His face was stained with blood, his eyes glowing with a frosty glow.

It's similar to the first scene in Episode 1, but Lee Hwi's face shows signs of exhaustion.

In contrast, Lee Gun's tightly closed mouth shows a hardened heart. Although Lee Hwi is on the throne, the roles have been reversed.

(This was going to happen anyway.)

There was a dark shadow on the throne, and sunlight only filled the area where Lee Gun was standing. Lee Hwi spoke, his voice languid and tired, but not without an air of authority.

He slowly rose from his seat. At first, he seems sluggish, but as his back stretches, he exudes a heavy aura. This is Hwi Lee's final struggle.

(Draw your sword.)

(Does it really have to be like this?)

(If you have made up your mind...... Do what you wish.)

It was a sentence similar to what the King said, Lee Hwi said it with a sigh mixed with tiredness, and even the part in the actual script was, 'I can see a glimpse of my father.' Lee Hwi came back to his senses for a moment and took in the image of the King who had been scolding him.

 

Yoo Kwang-seok, who was watching the scene at the Farewell Party, looked at Yoon Jay in surprise.

 

Thud!

The two raised their swords toward each other,

(Your Majesty!)

Meanwhile, Jung Yeonhwa finds the King. In her hand, she holds a precious artifact from her pre-regression memory, a legendary new substance that can cure the King's senility.

And then the scene changes again. Sword to sword, Lee Gun and Lee Hwi. At first, Lee Gun seems to have the upper hand, but then he completely dominates.

(......Your Majesty!)

Jung Yeonhwa's eyes widen as she approaches the king's bedchamber.

The screen cuts back to Lee Gun and Lee Hwi as someone's sword whirls through the air and plunges onto the floor.

And......

 

"Ah!"

"It's cut off at truly spooky timing!"

"Blame the Director!"

It's a commercial break. Even the staff, who already knew the ending, booed.

 

After the long commercial break, a battered and bruised Lee Hwi emerged. His sword was pinned near the throne, his robe loosened, and his long hair covered his face.

(......Finish me.)

After a moment's hesitation, Lee Gun sheathes his sword. He'll be dead soon enough anyway.

But to Lee Hwi, it seems that Lee Gun pity him. Just as he's about to scream with all his might, he hears a nostalgic voice behind him.

(Your Highness!)

It's Jung Yeonhwa's voice. Lee Hwi turned his head. Jung Yeonhwa, who had cured the King's senility with her artifact, was coming near the throne while supporting the King.

Lee Hwi smiled faintly, picked himself up, and shuffled toward them.

(......!)

Meanwhile, the servants who had put down the rebellion entered the Palace. The King raised his hand to stop them.

(Yo-Your Majesty! It's dangerous!)

(Let him be.)

The answer came from Lee Gun. Behind him, his bodyguard whispered.

(Your Highness, is that all right?)

(He already...... Fatally injured.)

It was a wound that should have knocked him out long ago, but he still didn't knock out. Eventually, he reached the King.

With a thud, his knees hit the ground and he looked up, covered in blood.

(What kind of affection is that...... He can't kill me.)

A final lament.

Lee Hwi looked at the King and Jung Yeonhwa behind him with a complicated expression, wondering if he couldn't kill his feelings for Jung Yeonhwa, or if he couldn't kill his father, the King, or both.

Thud!

(......)

Falling to the side, Lee Hwi's eyes did not close. The King waved away the servants who tried to help him and bent down.

Then he closed his son's eyes himself. Only in death could Lee Hwi receive the small touch of affection he so desperately wanted.

(Everyone, listen!)

(Yes, Your Majesty!)

With his powers back in hand, the King puts the matter to rest and announces that he will soon cede the throne to his son. Then, Lee Gun and Jung Yeonhwa got married and lived happily ever after.

The people whom the reign of Lee Hwi has harmed have their lives restored, and smiles are on their faces. It's a happy country, just as Lee Gun had hoped.

(Thank you for watching Fluttering until now.)

 

After the last episode, behind-the-scenes photos and short NG videos were uploaded along with the OST. The people gathered at the Farewell Party clapped and cheered in unison.

"Wow!"

"You guys did a great job!"

Everyone clinked glasses and chatted in earnest. Yoon Jay remembered what he had seen at the Wings Company dinner and went around the table with his glass, thanking the staff for their hard work and taking pictures with them.

"Ours Gun, Hwi, and Yeonhwa come here!"

Then, they cut the three-tiered cake prepared by the drama fans.

"It feels great, I think we are going to make the 20% mark."

"Nuna, what was our 20% pledge??"

"Girl...... Group dance......"

Park Seo-ah was unable to speak properly because she took her physical appearance seriously. The production team staff member who was near them stood up.

T/N: She uses quite ambiguous words, I think maybe she can't dance well??

"Come on, let's record that now, shall we?"

"What? The ratings haven't been counted yet."

"Hey, just taking it in advance now. Because we're going to be busy, and if we don't get it, we'll just delete it."

Actually, we'll post it whether we get 20% or not. Kim Hyunjun is so shamelessly good...... Park Seo-ah turned to Yoon Jay.

"Jay, you said you've been in America for a while, right?"

"Yes."

"You don't know any girl groups, do you?"

"Um, yes."

"Yoon Dohwa's group, Flava, maybe?" Park Seo-ah giggled at Yoon Jay's answer. I just need to not show off my physical appearance.

But Park Seo-ah's hopes were dashed. Coincidentally, the group they referenced for girl group dance was Yoon Dohwa's group.

"What is it? Why are you so good?"

"I'm usually good at copying once I see it."

"Would you please not answer shamelessly?"

The smile on Yoon Jay's face never faded. The filming was fun, but this moment was also quite funny.

"These are for the fans who have been supporting us all along."

"Thank you so much today. Gifts and bouquets......"

They didn't forget to meet the drama fans who had prepared various things for them. As soon as they saw Yoon Jay, their faces turned bright red and they bowed their heads deeply.

"......Haven't I met you before somewhere?"

"N-No!"

The (former) Peach Mango, who was reborn after sneaking into his father's funeral, bowed her head deeply when she saw Yoon Jay's face.

 

'Fluttering' garnered 20% viewership in its final episode... The discovery of rookie actor, Yoon Jay

'Fluttering', Yoon Jay overcame the prejudice that he was a rookie and performed well in a historical drama

— Fusion historical drama is just a pun, it's an oriental fantasy dramaㅠㅠ Haha.

— Lee Hwi, it's better that you didn't get mushy at the end.

— Ah, but the chemistry at the end was disappointingㅠㅠ Park Seo-ah was good when she was with Yoon Jay...

— Honestly, isn't the story too much for a villain? Lee Hwi was always cutting people off and being vicious, but suddenly, in the second half, the story told that he didn't get affection from the King, his real mother died giving birth, and his foster mother used him as a tool, then he and his younger brother fell in love with the same person. Honestly, I didn't like the way they were feeding me his pitiful story. Instead of giving him a pitiful story, they should give us an encouragement and punishment story. To be honest, I watched it as a fun joke, but I didn't like the ending ㅠㅠ

└ Look at this overindulgence.

└ It looks like you enjoyed the drama a lot.

└ And it looks like you had a great time watching it.

— Hwi and Yeonhwa's twisted love is delicious. After seeing the drama, I instantly have a headcanon, they reincarnated as a bodyguard and actress, meet on the red carpet of an event.

└ (real)

└ Keughhhh, it tastes so good.

— Anyway, it was fun. It was like the discovery of an actor named Yoon Jay, he was good at acting.

└ I’m looking forward to his next work.

└ I would have put him on my crush list too. Haha.

└ His acting is indeed so good.

"Jay -ssi, you are the son of Director Yoon Suheon?"

The next day after the Farewell Party, CEO Lee Seowon, whom I met briefly before going on schedule, looked surprised.

"Yes."

"No, I knew he remarried, but I didn't think he had a son......"

His reaction was due to an article that suddenly appeared in the morning.

 

'Fluttering' Yoon Jay, is the half-brother of idols, Yoon Dojun and Yoon Dohwa.

[Exclusive] Yoon Jay has a family relationship with famous K-Pop twins... Celebrity Family
