Hello!

Oh, Seo Hoyun!

I entered with a bright smile. A large U-shaped table was set up, and Director Yu was sitting at the center where all the actors could be seen best. When he saw me, he quickly got up and offered a handshake.

Seo Hoyun~! You made it.

Yes, thank you for having me, Director.

My constant smile seemed to puzzle the director, but he quickly patted my back and brushed it off.

As I quietly took my seat where my name tag was placed, the other actors started coming in one by one.

Uh, hello.

Yu Jia, playing the protagonist, Yu Jeonghwa, warmly greeted Director Yu and then sat beside me.

Yu Jia-sunbae, thank you for the last radio broadcast.

I held back quite patiently, didnt I? I was itching to say something to you.

Yu Jia responded with a sullen greeting.

A lot of people are expecting great things from Seo Hoyun. Composer Lim Hyeonsu and PD Kim Heeyeon too.

I dont know what to do with myself when you say that. I was just lucky.

I sneakily threw bait. Yu Jia seemed to have a good impression of me because of Todays incident.

Oh.

However, Yu Jia just tilted her head with a meaningful smile.

Do you have a habit of showing off?

I closed my mouth.

Yu Jia was scary. I got goosebumps thinking Seong Jiwon would be like that with a few more years of experience.

Yes, its a habit. Im sorry.

Well, its not like I have anything to say about that. And Im not telling you to apologize.

I mean, of course, Yu Jia would know. I gave her a big piece of my mind at the filming site. Yu Jia scratched her cheek and drove the point home.

I wish I had more juniors like you, really.

Instead of responding, I just awkwardly smiled. Then I turned my gaze, and right on cue, someone opened the door and entered.

Hello.

Oh, hello!

Hes here.

The bracelet jingling on my arm, the blood scattering like red flower petals, the ringing noise piercing my eardrums, and the vivid pain.

I still get dizzy whenever I recall the scene of the car accident.

Min Jiheon, please sit here.

Did I come a bit late? Im sorry. My flight was delayed.

No, you came just on time.

Min Jiheon took his prepared seat. Unfortunately, it was right in front of me. When I lifted my head, our gazes, and he gave me a kindly smile.

Hello, Seo Hoyun.

Thankfully, he didnt call me a hyung in this place. That meant he was a cunning guy who appeared to be nave.

I mean, if he wasnt, he wouldnt have been able to maintain his top-star status, regardless of his good acting skills.

But Min Jiheon messed with the wrong person.

I was Seo Hoyun.

Hello?

I was fully prepared to give him a taste of The Dawns official troublemaker.

Lets try killing each other today.

***

The script reading proceeded sequentially. Since I had already memorized the entire script, all I had to do was match it accordingly.

My manager standing across from me stared at me with an expression of disbelief, as if saying, He didnt even take any acting lessons, but I ignored him.

PD! PD Lee Jeonghun!

Even during the script reading, Yu Jia was the type who acted just as passionately as on set as she vividly expressed each line.

Can I talk to you for a moment?

It was a scene where Yu Jeonghwa, played by Yu Jia, followed my character, PD Lee Jeonghun, out to talk.

I paused, turned my eyes slightly, and sighed thinly. Then, trying to hide my exhausted expression, I said,

Yes, Yu Jeonghwa, what is it?

Last time, about the location shoot. I looked into it more, and I think the Gacheon area would be a better fit for the mission!

No, that wont work.

Why?

Yu Jia was taken aback by the firm response.

Understandable.

?

Then he hummed.

Yes, yes? What, what are you talking about?

In front of others, you guys call me young master but behind my back, Im a fucking bastard, the worst scum on earth, and now Im Min Seungtae again because you need something.

I have one name, but so many titles, right?

Min Seungtae didnt seem to care about the director, who he once called uncle when he was young. It was the director who betrayed Min Seungtae first, after all.

Under his cold gaze, contempt and a hint of disappointment could be seen.

So, the one who belonged here was just Min Seungtae.

Are you in that much of a hurry?

Yes, yes!

The supporting actor playing the director shook his head frantically. Min Seungtae looked at him, let out a short moan, and said,

But Im sorry, I dont think its my place to say anything.

!!

Good luck? Ill let the chairman you respect so much know that his cute little dog has something to say.

Then, Min Seungtae tapped his cheek with a long finger and smiled brightly.

You got a beating from your grandson.

This drama was intense.

Min Jiheons sharp gaze and sarcastic words disappeared as soon as that scene ended, and he returned to his usual dull self. I couldnt help but drool at the sight.

Wow Jeong Dajun would love this.

There was a reason why Jeong Dajun was so excited about Min Jiheon. He was indeed an expert in this kind of shameless acting or so I thought for a moment.

Excuse me, the writer said that the next scene is being revised so lets try the scene after Min Jiheons!

Yes.

Min Jiheon then showcased a very, very heartfelt performance. I couldnt help but take another look at the part where Min Jiheon started acting.

[Feeling Min Seungtaes oddness, Yu Jeonghwa became confused and told him to step back for a moment

Min Seungtae: (Tears dripping) Noona. (Quickly wiping his tears.) Im scared. For me, youre the scariest in this world. (Gently pulling on the hem of Jeonghwas clothes) Dont dislike me.]

The line was simpler than I thought. But seeing this, I reevaluated Writer Kim Sukhui once again.

Pushing such a cheap character this passionately into romance?

Moreover, just moments ago, Min Jiheon was talking about a bastard dog with enough crassness to surprise people listening.

Was it possible to cry right away when there would still be lingering emotions and feelings?

No? Could it be that if youre an actor, that level of skill came as a basic requirement?

Since its just a script reading it doesnt matter if they dont cry.

However, disregarding my doubts, Jiheon seemed to control his emotions as soon as the staff finished giving directions. He took a deep breath and bit his lip.

His eyes, which had been blank after the previous scenes reading, welled up and turned red instantly.

Noona, I

And along with the lines, he couldnt hold back his tears. Drops of tears ran down his cheeks and fell to his chin.

!!

I was astonished.

Min Jiheon was amazing.

Ah, shit

He hurriedly wiped his tears with his sleeves, but the tears continued to flow. He picked up the words as they came to him, fearing that if he didnt say anything, it would really be over. His chin trembled from the overflowing emotions.

Im scared.

Jiheonno, Min Seungtae shook with fear as he thought his relationship with Jeonghwa would be severed forever as she continued to push him away.

For me, youre the scariest in this world Noona.

After licking his lips several times, Min Seungtae finally hung his head. In the original scene, he was supposed to gently pull on Jeonghwas sleeve.

Dont dislike me.

Hes crazy.

At that moment, all I could see was Min Seungtae.

As if he were an ardent viewer, the director teared up while looking at Jiheon and withdrew tissues from a box to wipe his tears.

Whats more, Jiheon seemed to have no problem with this level of emotional acting. In the following scenes, he became a cheeky, snarky guy again, then a passionate younger man who could only look at one person, and once again, a cocky, annoying chaebol third generation

Damn, he just flew.

He deserves the title Young Boss of Daepaseong Entertainment, this guy.

But my focus wasnt on Min Jiheons acting right now. I had something else to check.

While listening to Jiheons following lines, I tapped the table slightly and summoned a small system window.

Hey, come out and see.
