Kunqu s birthday

“There are girls who enjoy chatting at night and have nothing against night calls, but there is another type of girl who hates night calls and texts. When the artists were asked on a talk show how they feel about late-night calls and messages to their ex-girlfriends, Kunqiu and Wook answered with pleasure, and admitted that such a sin is common for them, both sent messages to ex-girlfriends in the middle of the night. However, when the artists were asked about the choice, that is, they were asked to make a choice between love and friendship, the artists were no longer so unanimous. Wook chose love, Kunqiu chose friendship."
From the author's interview with the actor
It was the height of summer outside, July, and Mei rarely stayed overnight at Kunqiu's house now because the weather was exceptionally fine.
However, one evening, the actor invited Mei into the living room and announced to the girl that, in three days, he had a birthday. The celebration will take place in a restaurant. Since the artist is a public person, it was decided to rent the entire restaurant so that outsiders would not enter the party. There was silence in the living room and suddenly the artist said
- I want to introduce you to my family, and therefore I invite you to my birthday too. Ms. O was like a member of the family, and I want you to know my whole family too. Judging by your facial expression, I can see that you want to refuse, but take your time! I told manager Kim that I am looking for a long term housekeeper and therefore I want you to be aware of all my family affairs. Mrs. Oh was friends with my mother, I hope you will also be friends with her and my other relatives. Well, what did you decide, will you go?
-Yes.
Mei was laconic as always. The artist wanted to ask something else, but the girl had already risen from her seat. Soon the front door slammed, and the house was empty.
The birthday was scheduled for Saturday. A lot of people came, as in the case of the party, there were many guests whose visit was not planned in advance. These were distant relatives whom Kunqiu's mother decided to invite at the last moment. Naturally, the son did not even think to object to his mother. It was a round date, and therefore even relatives who lived outside of South Korea came. It was fun, noisy and crowded. The roar did not subside, which was replaced by bursts of laughter. At last the music began to play, and the steward took the floor.
The actor looked around the hall, in addition to the rest, there were about ten people in the hall, whom he had never even seen. Mom said that he simply forgot their faces, he met some of these people only in childhood. The celebration went on as usual, when suddenly one of the elderly relatives ran into the hall. She was pale and looked bad. A commotion began. Later it became clear that someone wrote the words of the threat on the mirror in the toilet. Kunqu's first impulse was to call the police, but his co-star, who was also invited to the birthday party, suddenly approached him and told him that nothing terrible had happened.
On the mirror was written in lipstick only a phrase from the film. The inscription was in the women's restroom, the actor did not dare to go there, and so the actress showed him a photo on the phone.
The inscription read:
"Tell me about your death, and I will tell about my grief"
And below the inscription was a sword.
An elderly relative decided that the artist was being threatened with death by a knife.
Mei sat apart from the artist, along with manager Kim and two agency workers, and watched the commotion.
Kim's manager, who, of course, could not stay away, soon returned and spoke about what had happened.
Looking towards the artist, Mei raised her eyebrows inquiringly, the artist smiled at her and began to rise from his seat, his intentions were clear. Kunqu wanted to approach the girl, but she shook her head.
By the way, due to the turmoil that arose due to the inscription on the glass of the mirror, the artist did not have time to introduce Mei to his mother and other family members. May, however, was only too happy about it.
The police were nevertheless called, this was the second message that disturbed the artist. The police came and left, the police assumed that the inscription on the mirror in the toilet was written by a woman's hand. If a man wrote this message, he would have to wait a long time until the toilet is empty. Therefore, obvious assumptions were still not so obvious. The incident with the inscription did not spoil the party very much, towards the end of the party, the constant DJ of all parties, the soul of the company, a close friend of the artist, Uk, appeared.
Wook had a shoot, but he still made it to the party. With the arrival of a friend, the party suddenly became interesting, and in fact some of the guests were already about to leave. But it turned out that the most interesting is yet to come. Wook had a lot of surprises that he came up with especially for the birthday boy.
The party ended well after midnight. When the artist looked back at the place where Mei was sitting, he did not see the girl. Kim's manager said May had left a long time ago, right after the commotion over Wook's arrival started. The artist was disappointed, he was sad that the girl left so early.
DON'T PRAY, NO ONE WILL HEAR!
Every year, oneAbout the same time, the actor invited a cleaning team to his house. A five-year contract was signed with the agency where this team worked. Of course, Mrs. Oh, and then later Mei, tried to clean the house very carefully, but they could not foresee everything. That is why the cleaning team looked into all the cracks during the general cleaning, and then later left the artist with written recommendations on where to make cosmetic repairs. These terms were written into the contract.
Mei couldn't be present during the cleaning because she had an exam. But in fact, she was not needed here today.
Every year, when the cleaning team came, Kunqiu gave Mrs. Oh a day off. It was reasonable because Ms. Oh and the agency workers had different views on cleaning. The artist, on the other hand, believed that it did not matter where the cleaning began, from the basement or from the attic, the most important thing was that the house should be clean and clean after this cleaning.
The fact that Mei had an exam also played into the hands of Kunq, knowing the character of the girl, he was afraid that disagreement in cleaning methods would not turn into a showdown.
Therefore, with a light heart, he let the girl go to the exam, and wished her only excellent marks.
He had a busy day today. Usually the actor rehearsed and conducted all the fight scenes himself, he very rarely used the services of understudies and stuntmen. Before filming a fight scene, there was always a lot of prep work done. Today was the final stage of preparation, and tomorrow it was planned to shoot this scene. The actor returned home completely exhausted.
He thought that the cleaning had already been completed, what was his surprise when one of the women in charge of the design of the room, embarrassed and stammering, said:
We don't know what to do with this find. These toys were scattered on the piano in the music room, and we need your guidance to decide where to put these toys.
Each toy is topped with a note on the back and we don't know your intention for these toys. Maybe you want us to install these toys in such a way that the inscription on the note is visible? Or, conversely, do you want the toys to face up?
The actor was amazed and could not understand what was being said. He himself had to go to the music room, and he really saw that the figurines of the demon were lying on the piano. There were six figurines, these figurines, since the premiere of the film where he played a demon, could be bought in any toy store. A piece of paper was attached to each figurine, a line of a quote from the film was printed on each piece of paper, a quote that I will give you now in full.
"I always listen. You begged for death and I gave you a chance.
But... why are you still alive?
I never erased your memory. You chose to forget everything, and now… do you think that this is the plan or the mistake of the Almighty?”
It was like a bad dream, someone was chasing or threatening the artist. Quotes from the film in which he played the main role, unequivocally reminded him of some bad deed that he had committed. As an artist did not try to remember, he could not find such an episode in his life. On the contrary, always and everywhere, he tried to do the right thing, according to his conscience, and according to the law. Having dismissed the alarmed agency workers, he put on gloves, put the small figurines in a box and carried them into the living room. The meaning of the quote was clear to him, it was not clear to him who exactly was throwing these riddles at him and why this person was doing it. Kunzyu thought. This was already the fourth time that someone tried to scare the artist, someone close to the artist, someone who was there on all these occasions when these strange finds were presented to him. Having made an analysis of what was happening, he suddenly realized that all these oddities began from the moment Mei appeared in his life. But, on the other hand, although she was at a birthday party, it seems that she did not even get up from her seat.
However, this incident with the music room that happened today ... The fact that the girl was not at home today, that she took time off for the exam, does not mean anything. The girl could prepare the figurines in advance, the fact is that the artist has not visited the music room for two weeks. It just hasn't been necessary yet. Therefore, the question of May's participation in all these strange cases remained open.
Finally, the actor stopped playing detectivo and simply told himself that this could not be.
The girl could be quick-tempered, caustic, angry, but in his opinion, she was not capable of meanness. But if it's not Mei, then who is?
The more the actor looked at the figurines of demons, the more it seemed to him that he was going crazy. It was not for nothing that the actor took the figurines with his gloved hands, he thought that the fingerprints of the person who left the demon toys on the piano could remain on the figurines. Yes, it could very well be. But in order to find out who owns the prints, it was necessary to take the figurines to the police, and the artist did not want to do this yet.
