Masters Last Teaching
The scene transitioned to a two-shot of Jeong Mong-ju and Lee Bang-won after class.
Jeong Mong-ju tried to leave the lecture room, seemingly eager to avoid the encounter. However, Lee Bang-won blocked his way, bowing deeply. Despite growing up in a remote northeastern region, his greeting was noble and sophisticated.
Jeong Mong-ju was forced to stop in his tracks.
Greetings, Master.
It was an uncomfortable title for Mong-ju. However, he couldnt just dismiss Lee Bang-won and tell him to stop calling him master as he had just attended his lecture.
Mong-ju responded with an elegant smile and a polite greeting.
Long time no see, Yudeok (Lee Bang-wons *courtesy name).
Mong-jus formal tone, a change from the informal speech when Bang-won was younger, could either be out of respect for Lee Bang-won, who had now passed the civil service exam and married, or perhaps to maintain a distance.
Lee Bang-won pondered over Mong-jus intentions.
Youve grown up so much. Your scholarly achievements are impressive.
I look forward to learning more from you, Master.
Im only here for a special lecture at Sungkyunkwan.
This was a subtle rejection and a roundabout way of saying that he was no longer his teacher.
One side of Lee Bang-wons lips twitched slightly on his externally serene face.
His father was someone who had no affinity for duplicity. Seong-Gye probably still hadnt realized that this politician, whom he regarded as a friend, had already marked the Lee family as a threat.
Lee Bang-won suppressed his twisted smile.
Just as he learned and just like the good example before him right now, he must not reveal his turbulent emotions.
Bang-won spoke again with a polite demeanor.
I have been well.
Thats good to hear. I heard about your marriage. Congratulations.
Thank you.
Hows your father?
Hes even more energetic than I am.
Haha. Song-heon (Lee Seong-gyes pen name) is indeed a strong man. Send him my regards. Ill see you next time.
As Mong-ju quickly wrapped up the conversation and moved away, Bang-wons facade shattered.
His real expression spread across his face, starting from his twisted lips.
Master!
Mong-jus steps halted as he walked past Bang-won, held back by the emotions attached to the title.
They now stood with their backs to each other, looking in opposite directions. This was captured in the two-shot.
Why?
Why?! Why arent you making eye contact with me?
Lee Bang-wons resentment burst forth.
Despite being a prodigy and being mentored by the best, he was still only 16.
His seemingly sturdy facade unraveled uncontrollably.
He knew why Mong-ju had distanced himself.
It wasnt out of dislike for him or busyness.
It was only due to the fact that Mong-ju sensed his fathers ambitions and had also marked him, the son, as a threat.
However, the figure who had been a hero to Bang-won for ten years and his teacher for 2 years turned his back on him once again.
It must be because our positions are different, Bang-won thought, trying to accept it coolly.
However, this person was too significant in the 16-year-old Bang-wons life to let go of easily.
Bang-wons face eventually distorted, and he shouted out loud.
Even if I tried to visit or send you letters, you never responded even once! Do you really not want to see me at all?!
His outburst, a mix of the last traces of his youthful innocence and impassioned fervor, seemed to tear through the air.
The person who was the cause of Bang-wons outburst responded:
Use flattery with smooth words and an embellished face to gain the favor of others, kiss the hand you wish to cut off, display outward obedience and inner defiance, and show what is seemingly right but is actually wrong! This chapter is updated by
It was a soft yet clear rebuke.
I taught you that revealing your feelings without gaining anything is something a politician cannot afford to do!
It was his masters last teaching.
Realizing he had exposed his hand, Bang-won closed his mouth tightly.
Jeong Mong-ju walked away and exited the frame, leaving only a furious Bang-won in the scene.
Jeong Mong-ju vs. Lee Bang-won.
Round 1 ended in a complete defeat for Bang-won.

The shooting set fell silent, with only the chirping of birds in the background.
It wasnt until the cameras light returned to green that Hansung finally relaxed, and the tension also slightly eased from the silhouette of Yoomyeong, who still stood with his back to him.
Hyung, your fan club is sending a food truck!
Uh?
Yoomyeong had heard that his first internet fan community,
There had been a meeting with the fan clubs managers in Seoul, and it was attended by Yu-seok and Ho-chul. Yoomyeong was very disappointed that he could not attend because he was filming.
Having never met a fan face-to-face, the existence of fans felt unreal to him. That held especially true for a fan-sent food truck!
Thank you but Im worried this might set a precedent and put pressure on other actors fan clubs. No one else has received one yet.
Hyung, what are you talking about? This is just a cute way for fans to show their support for the youngest member!
Really? Well, everyones tired of having kimbap during shoots, so a proper meal would be nice.
Okay then, Ill confirm it!
However, Yoomyeong hadnt expected the bright yellow ad balloon with the text Please give love to actor Shin Yoomyeong in flashy purple.
As the food truck was being prepared, passing actors and staff commented:
Love you!
We love actor Shin Yoomyeong~
Well enjoy the food. Love, love~
Haa
Yoomyeongs head was nearly sinking into the ground with embarrassment.
Hyung, the fan clubs president came in person.
Really?
Yes, she took a day off from work to come Maybe you should greet her?
Of course. Where is she?
At the food truck, a woman with her hair up in a ponytail was checking the preparations. After confirming with Ho-chul that she was the president, Yoomyeong tapped her on the shoulder from behind.
Um
Oh Oh my God!!!
The president turned around to see who it was and stepped back screaming as she faced Yoomyeong.
Yoomyeong awkwardly lowered his hand from her shoulder and bowed.
Hello. You must be the president, right? Im actor Shin Yoomyeong. Thank you.
It was a polite but somewhat awkward greeting. After all, he was still not used to having fans.
The president, who appeared to be in her mid-twenties, became momentarily tearful and stomped her feet.
Oh my, what should I do? This is real. Just a moment, please. Hoo, hoo-
She took several deep breaths and bowed at a 90-degree angle.
Hello! Im Jung So-jin, the president of GodNamed, Shin Yoomyeongs official fan club. I started my fan life as a fan of Do-Soos fan club at the age of 16, moved to manage GOT7s fan club, was vice-president of the WARM fan club, and was president of actor Ji Seong-Bins fan club.
Now, at 26 years old, Ive decided to fully commit to actor Shin Yoomyeong. I promise to support you with reliable experience and firepower that wont lose to other celebrities fandoms!
She nervously recited her experience.
A professional in fan club activities?
Uh, thank you.
Im not saying this because Im fickle! Ive decided to settle with supporting actor Shin Yoomyeong, so please be assured!
It seems like she had planned to settle with other celebrities in the past
Yoomyeong found her a bit eccentric, but she seemed like a kind sister.
Its okay to like several people, haha. Thank you, noona.
Agh
She clutched her chest.
Wait. Noona Oh, my heart. I should have recorded that.
Should I say it again?
Wait Its bad for my heart.
She blushed and held her hand out.
Anyway, I have a request!
What is it?
You havent been doing dramas, variety shows, or even commercials since your drama ended! Everyones dying for updates
Oh, Im sorry
So, I got permission from the agency and the director, but I need your approval too Can I film a bit of the shooting?
So-jin pulled out a large telephoto camera from her bag.
