A Genius Writer Loved by an Actress 4

Ji So-yeong is sitting in the back seat of the bus with her cell phone in her hand. My eyes are looking at the scenery of the street passing by, but all I can think of is the audition for the drama I watched yesterday.

‘The judges’ expressions weren’t bad. Maybe this time.’

Biting her lower lip with her upper teeth, Ji So-Young looked at the phone screen. I was looking at my phone almost every minute because I was told that I would let you know if I passed in the morning. But the phone didn’t move.

Ji So-young closed her eyes and remembered yesterday’s audition.

<Is Love Refundable?> audition site.

It was a place to select a few supporting actors with the male and female lead roles confirmed by Mega Studio, a drama production company.

Ji So-young, who passed the first audition, was waiting for the second audition. The role she applied for was a fairly significant role as ‘Um Yeon-jung’, a friend of the female protagonist ‘Go Eun-ha’.

‘Is what I heard in the waiting room yesterday true?’

Ji So-young opened her closed eyes. I tried my best to ignore it, but I couldn’t help feeling the anxiety that came from deep inside my heart.

“Hey, did you hear that?”

I could hear the conversation among the participants in the waiting room.

“What?”

“There are rumors that the role of ‘Eom Yeon-jung’ has already been decided.”

?!

Ji So-young’s heart sank. I put my antennae on my ears and focused my senses on the story of the two people.

“What?”

“It’s not quite right. There are rumors like that. I heard you’re the daughter of a middle-aged actor.”

“Hey, whatever. I’m auditioning for that role right now, does that make sense?”

“You’re doing this to put down one more article. Someone who came up through the competition of several hundred generations found out that she was the daughter of a middle-aged actor. what kind of way Playing drums and janggu amongst themselves… Anyway, everyone who auditioned for the role of Yeonjung Eom today will become a bridesmaid.”

“Oh really.”

Ji So-young’s brow furrowed. I dropped out of school and stuck with this role.

I’ve heard that producers sometimes use this method to promote their works, but I thought it was still possible.

Before I even clear my confused mind

rattle.

The waiting room door opened,

“Mr. Ji So-young.”

“yes.”

“It’s your turn. Please prepare.”

“all right.”

Ji So-young got up from her seat and made up her mind.

With such a disorganized mind, I can’t even read Korean books, let alone auditions. Nothing has been revealed yet, and there are a lot of false rumors about this version…

‘It must be a false rumor. If you do your best to show what you’ve practiced so far, there will definitely be good results. I just have to do my thing.’

He lifted the dark clouds from his mind and focused entirely on himself. And I went to the stage where there was an audition.

At the audition site, Mega Studio’s production manager Kim Il-man, CP Cho Hye-ryung, and director Park Kang-hoon sat in the judges’ seat.

Ji So-young boldly walked out and said hello. CP Jo Hye-ryeong said with a rather tired face.

“I’d like to ask you to postpone the designation.”

“yes.”

After immersing for a while,

“So you are crazy. No, how many parts do you have? If you do that, you should have a few thousand in your bank account. How come you don’t have more money than me, a white man? (As if thinking for a moment) Do you think the old man still wants money? Is that so?”

‘Um Yeon-jung’ plays the role of a friend who cheers up the female lead ‘Go Eun-ha’ whenever she is having a hard time. Ji So-young was digesting the character with a cute feeling with a sense of humor.

The three judges, who were only looking at the documents on the desk, raised their heads one after another. Because I didn’t expect that kind of smoke would come out of Ji So-young, who seemed calm.

“Your face is innocent and pretty, but isn’t the kiang acting pretty?”

CP Jo Hye-ryeong whispered to Park Kang-hoon, who was sitting next to him. Park Kang-hoon nodded his head and clapped.

“I thought that too. Even though there is a lot of emotion, the diction is good, so I can hear all the lines.”

“It’s a bit pricey.”

Director Kim Il-man also let out a short sigh with his arms crossed. Because ‘Uhm Yeon-jung’ was a fixed role anyway.

Ji So-young’s acting was going to the highlight.

“No… So, I didn’t give you my contact information and I just wanted to be sassy, didn’t I? Anytime I throw it away, it’s okay… this innocent boy It’s a miracle that a rare species like you is alive in a jungle like this. It’s a miracle. Next time you come, call me right away. Understand. If you can’t do it, the country has to do it too. (pounding on his chest) Uh-huh, I can’t. I slept all today. Let’s go get a drink or something.”

At the end of the last line, Ji So-young exhaled the breath that had been locked in her throat.

And I looked at the three judges. While preparing to receive any evaluation sweetly.

“I saw it. Ji So-young.”

“thank you.”

CP Jo Hye-ryeong spoke first. It was a soft tone with a satisfied expression on his face.

“But Ji So-young, would you like to pull your clothes back?”

“yes?”

“I want you to show me your waistline.”

“Ah yes.”

Ji So-young quickly grabbed the baggy T-shirt and slipped it back. A curved and elastic body pierced through the clothes.

Jo Hye-ryeong nodded her head as if she knew that too.

“Well. It looks much better. Ji So-young Mr. This is a tip.”

“yes.”

“The next time you audition, try styling it so that you can show off your charm. You’re in good shape, but why are you hiding it in baggy clothes?”

“thank you.”

This time, director Park Kang-hoon bit his lip to give an acting review. Ji So-yeong, afraid to miss a word, quickly moved her gaze to Park Kang-hoon.

“It was nice that the pronunciation didn’t get messed up even though the emotions went in… You’ve been thoroughly researching the role. It was fine.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Ji So-young bowed her head and bowed.

“Ji So-young. Wait.”

Director Park Kang-hoon stood up to Ji So-yeong and whispered in Director Kim Il-man’s ear what he was missing. Jo Hye-ryeong was also actively entangled.

Ji So-young earnestly hoped that all these signals would be a green light.

“The mask is fine, and the acting is fine.”

“I think so too. It has charm.”

“Well, yes, but ‘Um Yeon-jung’ has already been decided as Ha Joo-kyung. It’s the boss’s name.”

“under. But I think Ji So-young is much better… How can I not, Chief?”

“Ha Joo-kyung is going to be a hot topic as a second-generation actress… I can’t help it. Won-mi Park, is there anything to do when the conversation is over? The knight will also be flying tomorrow afternoon.”

“It’s a shame…”

The role of Uhm Yeon-jung had already been assigned to Ha Joo-kyung, the daughter of Park Won-mi, a mid-level actress who is still active in the drama’s lord. For the sake of the topic, Kim Il-man, the head of the department, had no choice but to come down from a higher rank.

Director Park Kang-hoon only shook his head with a sad expression.

“Mr. Ji So-young.”

“yes.”

Ji So-young was exuding a completely different atmosphere from when she acted in a kiang. It looked elegant and clean.

Seeing that, director Park Kang-hoon became more greedy.

“A letter of acceptance or rejection will be sent tomorrow morning. Thanks for your efforts.”

“yes. thank you.”

Ji So-young in the bus was just waiting for the text message of passing the audition. The hand holding the phone was tight.

If it falls again this time…

I remembered the last auditions I had failed over 50 times. It seemed like it was more than five times to go up to the final and to fall decisively.

As I endured failure on my own, I pretended to be okay on the outside, but on the inside, I couldn’t stand it any longer.

I hoped and prayed for good results in this audition that changed my soul after dropping out of school.

at that time

Wow-

The cell phone vibrated.

Ji So-young checked the message like Deuk-dal.

[Notice of Mega Studio Audition Results]

‘Come, come. Oh, I’m trembling. I can’t see it.’

It was a message I had been waiting for since I woke up in the morning, but when I tried to see it, my heart felt like it would burst.

After a few hesitations, he pressed the message with trembling hands.

[sorry. If there is a good opportunity next time, let’s do it together]

A shadow of disappointment fell on Ji So-young’s face. The shoulders, which had risen in anticipation, drooped to the floor. He looked out the window and sighed softly.

Blanc and the signboard were visible. A cafe where I have been working part-time for over a year.

I stood in front of the exit door and pressed the get-off buzzer.

The eyes reflected in the window swelled up like iron heated in a brazier.

***

Blancnois was in the alley behind the building opposite the Ping Pong headquarters.

The illustration of a woman riding a bicycle on an ivy-covered exterior wall with her hat pressed down in fear of being blown away by the wind was impressive.

Why did the channel send me to this cafe? Writing is hard, so why not heal over a cup of coffee?

no way…

So, can you give me some tips on drama scripts? I already finished it. To the extent that there is nothing more I want to fix.

then why?

I opened the door to Blancnoy with the intruding doubts.

However, the moment I stepped in, the thoughts that had bitten my tail stopped. It was because I was struck by the fragrant coffee aroma and the savory smell of bread.

‘Ah, the smell alone can make a person feel so good… It seems that the channel is considerate of writing well in a good place.’

Disarmed, I headed to the counter to place my order. The female employee there was ready to take my order from the moment I entered the cafe.

“hello. Would you like to order?”

Big, round eyes, a sharp nose, and cool lips. A female employee with a brown, thick S-curl hair that went down to her back spoke with kindness.

‘I can see why Hangyeol salivated and praised this cafe.’

I remembered Han Kyul, who was bragging with Blanc endlessly. In this kind of atmosphere, I thought that a cafe with such staff would be Nara.

I placed my order with plenty of manners and politely.

“Iced Americano, please.”

It’s still morning, but I’m already tired from the boiling early summer sun. I couldn’t think of anything else on the menu other than the iced Americano.

The employee smiled and touched the force screen. Then, as if he had forgotten something important, he raised his head and asked again.

“Would you like dark? Or would you like a light?”

I haven’t been to many cafes, but this is the first time I’ve been asked this question. I hesitated not knowing how to answer, but the staff kindly added explanations.

“Dark has a heavy texture and body, so it’s slightly bitter and savory, while light is sour and savory.”

“Ah… Then give me a dark one.”

“yes.”

The staff tapped the force with a soft smile on their lips.

“Are you going to eat?”

“yes.”

“It’s 4500 won.”

“yes.”

As soon as I inserted the card into the card reader, the payment was made.

After a brief glance, the staff turned around to prepare a drink, and I scanned the inside of the hall looking for a seat.

There were only about ten seats, but there were already customers at several tables.

There was a seat left by the window, so I went and sat down.

‘Because I came to Blancnois and even ordered coffee, did the channel accumulate points? I want to check it right away, but there is no way…’

I found out that the cell phone link in the store is useful for this. If the channel is linked to your mobile phone right now, you will be able to check the points immediately.

‘. Nonsense. Would you like to buy a 100-point mobile phone link to check if you got 60 points? The belly button is bigger than the belly button.’

I was a little curious, but I had no choice but to go home and check it out.

The channel wouldn’t lie, so I opened my laptop, thinking that I might have come in.

I was planning to write until Han-Hyeol came.

with daughter

At that moment, a gentle bell rang from the entrance.

And without realizing it, my eyes went away and I thought my heart would stop.

On the one hand, elegant and clean, a matchless and immaculate face that may look flat. Long straight hair down to the waist and thin arms and legs.

The main character, Chaerin, of Bakamo, which I was drawing, appeared in live action.

‘Chaerin’ smiled broadly and entered the counter and put on her apron. And I exchanged greetings with the staff who took my order.

“Boss, I’m here.”

Earlier, I thought that the female employee was not an employee but the owner of the cafe here. ‘Chaerin’ is a part-time student.

“Is it hot outside? Oh, can I make you a cold drink?”

“no. I will make it.”

“Nope. I can do it quickly. By the way, how was the audition yesterday?”

The lady boss pretended to be okay, but asked with great care.

‘audition? So, are you an aspiring actor?’

I swallowed dry saliva and overheard their conversation more deeply.

“Ah… well… I just got a call from the bus… it fell off.”

‘Chaerin’ answered simply by tying her long straight hair with a black string. He pretended to be okay, but the slight trembling in his voice didn’t seem right.

The female president patted ‘Chaerin’ on the back.

“There is another chance. Ji So-young. cheer up.”

And I lifted another glass of Americano.

Ji So-young.

He whispered his name again.

I found the real reason the channel sent me here.
