I Became A Renowned Genius At My Arts High School - Chapter 147
Only Ranovel
Episode 147 deep conversation
“First of all, the reporters who published an article about what happened to that 100,000 won painting will soon lose their jobs.”
“yes? “Those reporters?”
Walter, who said he had a few questions to ask, first revealed surprising news.
“It would have been better for the company to let those two go rather than close the magazine. Oh, don’t think it’s too much. I found out that this wasn’t the first time they met. They took bribes from all over the place to write false articles and create unfair victims. “The targets were mainly powerless rookies.”
“ah… … .”
It was surprising, but also embarrassing.
A foreigner is directly trying to cut out the rotten parts of the Korean art world.
But Walter had a calm face.
“I said it before, but this is actually cute. There are many people who think it’s very easy to put up an unimaginable frame and send a person to the goal. Hmm. So there is no need to feel uncomfortable. “In the world I live in, much messier and more extreme things happen.”
“Anyway, you showed off your abilities nicely.”
Suhyun nodded.
Walter promised that he could serve as an umbrella. His influence was significant in Korea as well.
If you dig deeper, there may have been hidden cooperation between Il-seon and JK, but just willingly selling her name was a huge help to Su-hyeon.
“By the way, you said you had something to ask, right?”
When Su-hyeon asked, Walter clapped his hands and recalled a business he had forgotten.
“ah. It was like that. From what I found out, it was the artist’s idea to turn this exhibition into a permanent exhibition. “It was the best way to avoid gossip.”
“yes. that’s right.”
“But, at the last meeting, the writer said that he didn’t mind if this issue made a fuss again. “Why did you change your mind?”
When Su-hyeon first announced her intention to purchase a painting in the VIP reception room, she said she wanted to know how far Walter could go to change the negative environment in the art world.
It was closer to wanting to check its performance right away rather than asking for confirmation whether it could function properly as an umbrella.
Walter was willing to show off his skills, but I was curious as to why he bothered to make something public that he intended to quietly pass over.
“It’s simple.”
Suhyun smiled and answered.
“As you know, the reason we turned our attention to the permanent exhibition was to reduce damage to the exhibition. Fortunately, the nonsense article soon quieted down. But I couldn’t say that was the end of the job.”
“Hoo.”
“I am a person who has enjoyed many benefits. However, there were many obstacles. “Then, I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like for ordinary, powerless rookies, and what kind of absurdities they would be experiencing.”
“So, there was a need for purification for rookies of similar age, or something like that?”
“Because it’s for me too. There is greater strength when we move forward together. Mr. Walter, you said you were very interested in the Korean art world, right?”
“Oh, what you said during the interview? that’s right. “That’s what I said.”
“If that was sincere, you would already know that there are many artists in Korea who do really great work. I want to grow with them in fertile soil and have a positive influence on them. “That’s good for my development.”
“Hmm. In addition, your personal revenge was resolved neatly, right?”
“haha. That’s true too. It wasn’t the main goal, but thanks to the widening of the game, I think some of the pus-like people will disappear. “For that, I am truly grateful.”
In response to Su-hyeon’s answer, Walter nodded with a thoughtful face. and,
“I have another question.”
I asked Suhyeon again with a serious face.
“Suyon. You are already creating work that will be successful in the global market. Inevitably, the day will come when we will stand on the international stage.”
“Thank you for your kind words.”
“Not at all. These are not empty words. And what I’m curious about is when the writer Han Su-yong will leave the nest and fly across the sky.”
Walter smiled meaningfully.
“I fully understand how great your love is for the Korean art world. But that will also be something she can naturally sort out once writer Han Soo-yon becomes a bigger star. So what I’m saying is, get ready to work on the international stage soon.”
“… … .”
It didn’t seem like something he said out of curiosity or a momentary emotion.
Walter calmly evaluated Soo-hyeon’s painting with the eye of a top collector, and was confident that it was something he could invest in and that it was something that should not be taken away by anyone.
And, it seemed like he wanted to quickly be proven that he wasn’t wrong.
By releasing Suhyun to the global market.
“If you prepare hard, the time will come. “I think now is a time where I just have to do my best to draw.”
“haha! It’s so strange. “You are such a strange person.”
Walter shook his head and laughed.
A writer of outstanding ability and star potential. These artists were either oblivious to the world and focused only on their work and could easily be taken advantage of, or on the other hand, they were very clever and could easily bore people, but Soohyun was neither of them.
‘While he is filled with pure passion for his work, he also has a keen understanding of the physiology of the floor. There are many temptations, but rather than burning with desire, it feels like being on guard to protect one’s own world. Anyway, you are a very strange friend. He’s an artist I feel like watching.’
Walter looked at Su-hyeon with eyes full of affection.
I also thought that if I had had the opportunity to see the artist with his paintings in London, I would never have given up on painting.
In any case, Walter had now fallen in love with the writer Han Soo-hyun and was willing to lead him to the world stage.
“I’m not asking you to come to New York or London right away. I just said this out of an old lady’s desire to not have a vague next goal. And, if you ever make up your mind, please contact me at any time.”
Walter handed me a business card with a direct number written on it.
“thank you.”
Su-hyeon carefully accepted Walter’s business card.

A few weeks later.
“It’s snowing.”
“Is it true?”
“and! pretty! “It’s a big eye!”
It was already winter.
It has been just two months since Suhyun’s solo exhibition opened.
After Walter’s appearance, Su-hyeon’s exhibition went on without any further noise, and many visitors were flocking every day.
The exhibition was on track, so Su-hyeon, who had let go of the pressure, decided to enjoy a little leisure time with her friends.
The timing was also appropriate.
Two weeks ago, a cute Christmas tree was erected at the entrance of the exhibition hall, indicating that it was the end of the year, but today it was snowing and I was looking forward to a white Christmas.
“It’s romantic.”
“What is romance? We have to move quickly today. “There will be traffic later.”
“is it?”
“Uh oh. We need to hurry up and get ready for the party. Oh, it’s a shame. “It was supposed to be a trip.”
“Well, we decided that in difficult times, we should exercise restraint and participate in the suffering. I think it’s meaningful. “It’s a trip, so you can go as much as you want later.”
“That’s true, but.”
Suhyun’s friends were gathered at the exhibition hall again today.
After the second semester, the kids naturally visited the exhibition hall. It was a face I saw every day, so I felt empty when I didn’t see it, and since Soohyun was there, I came in and out naturally.
It was the same today, Christmas Eve, and I was more excited than any other time.
This was because we had promised to finish our schedule a little early and hold a small party at Yuna Oh’s house.
“There’s nothing to prepare. “Because it’s already over.”
And Oh Yuna was cool today too.
“uh? “Didn’t we ask you to make tteokbokki together?”
“hmm. “I’ve been thinking about it, is there anyone among us who is good at cooking?”
“hmm. well.”
“And, isn’t everyone busy preparing gifts? “When do we get together, cook, prepare, eat and play?”
“But that’s true.”
“Your skillful aunt will come and help you. “There’s no need to worry about the material costs since they will be used out of our membership fees.”
“Your aunt?”
“Uh, so don’t just pick up this and that, enjoy it later. really. What was the movie that Park Joon-young recommended?”
“Christmas Lovers?”
“Oh right. I rented that DVD. “I can see you later.”
“Oh, it’s the best! That movie is really fun. “It’s funny and touching, and the actors are very handsome and pretty.”
“uh. “Anyway, now we just have to take Han Su-hyun with us.”
Oh Yuna and her friends exchanged looks as they watched Su-hyeon talking to the exhibition manager, and at exactly 3 PM, they dragged Su-hyeon out of the exhibition hall.
“omg.”
“What is all this?”
“Oh Yuna, did you buy this again?”
“It’s crazy. it’s crazy.”
There was a large Christmas tree installed in the living room of Oh Yuna’s house.
There were lots of softly twinkling light bulbs and ornaments that looked expensive at first glance, and heavy gift boxes were piled under the tree. and,
“It’s like a movie.”
“I think of a small princess. That, the dinner scene prepared when the protagonist returns to the attic with her friend. “Isn’t it perfect for now?”
“Oh, right. that’s right. That’s the feeling. “It’s right.”
A sumptuous dinner was prepared on the table for six people in the kitchen.
Turkey dishes, salads, pizza, pasta, steak, the tteokbokki that we promised, and even desserts that are almost too good to eat, which are the classic Christmas dishes.
“It’s so flashy, isn’t it? Wow, how can you say we didn’t go on a trip to join in during this difficult time? “Isn’t this table just crazy?”
“I know. Wow, Oh Yuna is amazing too. “I love you, Yuna.”
“If it were any other time, I would have gone to the hotel. This is significantly reduced compared to previous years. And there’s nothing to worry about. “As a way of participating, I made a donation to help our neighbors in need.”
“Oh, as expected, Oh Yuna! Yes, you are right. And, we had to congratulate Soohyun on the success of her exhibition once more!”
The children stopped pouting and nodded at Oh Yuna’s clear words. Moreover, the food on the table looked so appetizing that it took my mind off it.
“Everyone sit down. And raise your glass.”
The kids raised their glasses obediently to Oh Yuna’s words.
“Merry Christmas.”
“Yes, Merry Christmas!”
“I love you, guys! Merry Christmas!”
“Only tell that to your boyfriend. “Because I’m getting chicken skin.”
Cha Yoon-hee, Park Seon-hwa, Park Jun-young, Oh Yu-na, and Su-hyeon. And the table with six people, including Steve, was happy and warm.
‘It would be nice if this happiness lasted long.’
Su-hyeon felt both thankful and sad as she watched her friends exchange the gifts they had prepared while eating food.
Having passed by it once, I knew it very well. Youth is short and never comes back.
This joy that seemed to last forever had an expiration date.
More than anything,
‘It would be about a year at the shortest.’
It was time for Su-hyeon to prepare to move his residence.
Although Walter’s proposal was the deciding factor, Su-hyeon had been thinking about various options between domestic and overseas since the time she was preparing for the entrance exam and worrying about her school and career path.
I decided to go to Baekhyun University because I wanted to first solidify my position in Korea and enjoy the happiness of everyday life and an ordinary college life that I had never experienced in my past life, but I couldn’t let time pass by like this.
Also, as I was specifically exposed to the problems in the Korean art world, I decided to pursue reform in the future, something that would naturally be resolved if I became a more influential artist, as Walter said.
For the future, in order to paint better pictures, Su-hyeon needed new learning and stimulation. And now I began to decide that I needed to think about that time in detail.
So this day with friends couldn’t help but be more heartbreaking for Suhyun.
“What, are you tired?”
“Uh, Suhyeon. Would you like to try some of this? It’s so soft. “The sauce is delicious too.”
“uh. okay. thank you.”
However, for now, Su-hyeon hid her complex emotions and smiled brightly.
There was still time left. In the meantime, Su-hyeon planned to paint new pictures more faithfully and fully than anyone else and build deep friendships.
