chapter 7
7 – I’m always looking forward to it
[To put it simply, So-young was wearing clothes that didn’t suit her. First of all, Mr. Soyoung should know what clothes suit her.]
“… ….”
Seeing the text, Seol So-young recalled her memories of her audition. At the request of the judges, she played a bright and positive character in both auditions.
The judges made such a choice with the intention that if it was possible to act as a lovely girl with that face, they would be able to completely take away the viewers’ souls…….
—Oh, brother. I ate a Ted Burger……. Under…… Sorry. Can I try it just once more?
Seol So-young, who had no such experience at all, was eventually dropped for the reason that she couldn’t forget her lines until the end along with her awkward acting.
“… ….”
After reading the text once again, Seol So-yeong tightened her grip on her cell phone. She had a good idea of what the other person wanted to say.
Choose and act in roles that suit you and allow for very natural acting.
It was a simple story, but it was also difficult for Seol So-yeong, whose goal was to become a first-class actress, to understand.
Most of the people who are called first-rate actors have excellent acting skills that can play all roles. That’s why they are called first-rate actors, and that’s why actors become their goal.
[However, as the writer said, the range of roles you can take on is limited.]
[Eh? I think it’s rather the opposite?]
‘…… Opposite?’
After reading her counterpart’s reply, Seol So-yeong tilted her head as if wondering.
[What does that mean?]
[Simply put, So-Young is given a role where she can show off her best acting skills. What will happen to her if the work hits the jackpot?]
Seol So-yeong seriously contemplated her answer to her partner’s question. And after a while, as if she realized something, her eyes widened.
[Maybe many people will recognize Soyoung’s potential and be interested.]
Ah. He can play such a character to that extent, but what if he takes on a different character? People’s curiosity and anticipation.
The moment the idea settles in people’s heads, she will have the opportunity to take on a much wider variety of roles.
If so…….
[If I play the role the writer wants me to entrust, then will I be able to show off my best acting skills?]
Seol So-yeong gulps down her saliva as if she is a bit nervous while sending her message.
It didn’t take long for this reply to arrive.
[Yes.]
“… ….”
This one word was the entire contents of the text.
A short sentence that is shorter than the first text I received and that some might feel insincere.
However, Seol So-yeong felt an unknown sense of relief in that one sentence.
Giying-
It was then.
For some reason, her phone vibrated once more.
Seol So-young hurriedly checked her phone with startled eyes.
[Ah! Still, you have to practice acting hard. Although I fully believe in So-young’s acting skills, I am a little worried.]
…… A little bit worried?
It was rather a welcome sound.
For Seol So-young, this work had a very meaningful meaning as it was her first time.
That’s why she always intended to open her ears and fix any stinging noises directed at her. Especially if it’s the words of a story writer who recommends you and sends you a lot of trust.
[Since So-Young has a very pretty face, I think her acting might be buried in her beauty. To be honest, I’m a little worried about this part.]
“…… ?”
I read the text with the determination to hear a tingling sound……
She was Seol So-young, who couldn’t understand what the last text message meant.
***
Shortly after that, ‘Welcome Cafe Violet’ smoothly entered the filming stage.
Contrary to the concerns of the people concerned at the beginning, Seol So-yeong continued her filming by showing off her acting skills that are not like a rookie, and thanks to that, she was able to easily finish all the filming of the mid-episode episode.
What…… There was still half an hour left, so the producers and actors are still busy.
In contrast, I was living my daily life peacefully, listening to information on the current status of drama production from PD Na and Yongseok Cho.
Ah, and lately, I’ve been interacting with Jo Yong-seok hyung so often that I can’t even talk to him.
Won’t you come across me and try a gym? I remember that Yongseok hyung’s words were the trigger.
At first, I tried to get away with all sorts of excuses, such as what kind of nerd middle school students are, how tall they get in the way, and so on. On the contrary, they said that growth hormone is secreted when you exercise during your growth period, and he strongly recommended that you start as soon as possible.
The more I hear something, the more logical it becomes, so I just closed my eyes once and started working out together…….
“Squats! Oh, good posture. Eunwoo, let’s do this three more times. It should be filled at least 10 times.”
“This is really the last set, right?”
“Yes. So, let’s finish this first. Eight! Nine! Nine! Nine! Nine! Nine…… “
Um.
Anyway, it seems to have been properly bitten.
I heard that too much exercise is not good for growth, but is this correct…… ?
Still, as Yongseok’s older brother said, growth hormone was constantly secreted, so he was growing well and his muscles were starting to stick.
“Haa… …. Ha… …. I can’t breathe well.”
“It’s a good phenomenon. That is oxygen-free.”
“hahahaha. I’m really going crazy. If I do one more free oxygen, then I will go to the real goal.”
“Oh, yes? Shall we check it out? His lower body has been burned enough to burn, so let’s check it with his shoulder.”
Damn it.
Today too, I will fall asleep as soon as I lie down.
I was able to return home only after tearing up my shoulders like that.
By the way, when I go home, Yongseok-hyung always takes me by car.
“Hmm… ….”
So, as usual, I sat in the back seat of Yongseok-hyung’s car and looked at my phone. Yongseok-hyung checked the scene in the rearview mirror and asked with a grin.
“Who are you contacting with such a serious expression? Maybe a girlfriend?”
“hahahaha. If there is such a fantasy animal, I would like to meet it.”
I looked at my phone again.
If I had to say the biggest change I’ve had recently, it was this cell phone rather than my health.
My second cell phone that I received through PD-nim that day.
There were still 3 numbers stored on this phone.
PD Na Young-jin, director Park Yong-oh, and Seol So-young.
What…….
Anyway, there is only one person I text every day.
[Did you have dinner, writer?]
A text message arrived right at the end of the gym.
Even when we first exchanged text messages, the emotions were new, but now we’re not used to it, so it’s taken for granted.
Seol So-young.
What happened to her? She and I had been in contact with each other every day since that day.
[Writer, what should I do with facial expressions and hand gestures at this time?]
[(Picture of one piece), (Picture of blouse and skirt) Cody recommended two clothes to wear in episode 4. Which one do you like better?]
[I want to add an ad lib, what do you think?]
At first, it was mostly drama-related conversations, but before we knew it, we became close enough to talk privately.
Of course, if she hadn’t texted me first like now, the relationship would have been cut off a long time ago…….
I sent the reply with a bitter smile.
[I haven’t eaten yet. Did Soyoung eat?]
[I ate out at a restaurant with my family. (Picture)]
The photo of the food that came with the reply was, at a glance, a picture of a luxurious meal.
Well, it’s one of Korea’s leading rich families’ dining out, so it’s not an ordinary restaurant.
Maybe there are a few stars on the shop signboard by default?
[Looks delicious.]
[Right? Let’s go together sometime I’ll live. Shall we set the date first?]
Expensive rice. And free.
Words that are difficult for men to avoid.
I wanted to make an appointment right away, even tomorrow, but unfortunately, I could tell that it didn’t just mean to have a meal together.
Why would a woman the size of Seol So-young suddenly want to eat with me, who doesn’t even know her face, age, or gender?
That’s because he paid for it all with his own money.
‘I’m a person who has seen the original, but that doesn’t make sense… ….’
Considering her ice princess-like cold image, she seemed to have other plans.
If I had to give an example, would you like to take a look at my face because you are curious about my mysterious identity?
But it doesn’t make much sense to buy expensive food when you can only see my face once…….
Write…….
Once I read the text, I was in a situation where I had to send a reply.
Is that the only way in this case? ….
[Come to think of it, Soyoung was praised for acting so well that she was not like a rookie.]
Shamelessly change the topic right away.
When it is difficult to answer, this is the best.
[…] … Well. I don’t think I’m good enough to hear the writer’s ears.]
[Well, you are humble. Then, as Soyoung said, let’s pretend I can’t act.]
[(Emoji of cat character frowning)]
I played a joke once, but the reaction was pretty cute.
Looking at it like this, do I have to call it an ordinary girl?
When I see her face and acting, I don’t think she would be able to see her properly, but when we exchanged text messages like this normally, Seol So-yeong felt like a student of the same age as me.
…… But wait.
Come to think of it, I’m not a student.
“… ….”
Anyway.
Since only the body is a middle school student, let’s skip this part roughly.
[Mr. Soyoung.]
I wrote a text message to send to Seol So-young again.
I sent it as a joke earlier, so it may have hurt your feelings, so this time I sent it with the utmost sincerity.
[I’m always looking forward to it. Please act well for the rest of our winter from now on.]
This should be enough, right?
I smiled contentedly and slowly closed my eyes.
But…….
I never thought that after sending this text message, Seol So-young’s acting ability would drop so drastically that it would interfere with filming.
At that time, I didn’t expect it at all.
