Chapter 10

“Guys! The break is over! Let’s begin once more!”

On the work chief’s command, the opposite males rose one after the other.

A few of them had already woke up from their naps.

Regardless of bodily fatigue, my thoughts remained remarkably clear, very like yours.

Because of Senior Min Kyungsoo’s textual content message,

“My identify goes to be featured on <The Discuss Present>!”

Whereas I gained’t bodily seem, my story shall be shared for about 5 minutes.

That, too, is an efficient story.

Although I don’t count on it to raise my standing as an actor,

the smile doesn’t depart my face on the prospect of sharing the identify ‘Kang Jinseok’ with viewers.

“Let’s work even more durable.”

As I pledged to myself, ideas of the upcoming audition stuffed my thoughts.

“Along with the position of the Japanese police officer…”

Confidence surged inside me. I believed I may embody the looks and demeanor of a ‘actual’ police officer from the Japanese colonial interval.

But, there have been considerations.

“What in regards to the different position? It doesn’t appear doubtless they’d assign two roles to a single actor.”

This position, really useful by producer Kim Mansoo, undoubtedly guarantees to be a big one.

Nonetheless, regardless of navigating by means of quite a few auditions, encountering a task labeled as ‘Different 1′ was a primary for me.

After pondering for a second, I shook my head.

“I’m getting forward of myself. It’s absurd to worry over a task simply because I cleared one audition. Snap out of it, Kang Jinseok. Be thankful for any alternative, even when it means enjoying a minor position. Let’s deal with the duty at hand and provides it our all.”

With renewed willpower, I gathered my braveness and took one other step ahead.

***

Time handed shortly, and earlier than I knew it, the day of the audition had arrived. Standing in entrance of the audition studio, I took a deep breath.

“Whoop… Puha!”

“Do your finest, Kang Jinseok! That is actually a golden alternative.”

Upon coming into the studio, as anticipated, there have been quite a few candidates. Amongst them, some can be my rivals, whereas others aimed for various roles.

Most of them appeared to be auditioning for minor or supporting roles.

‘I have to allow them to know that I’m right here for the audition, however the place are the employees? Oh, is that him?’

Upon glancing round, I observed a bunch of individuals gathered contained in the audition room. As I approached, I noticed somebody sporting a ‘STAFF’ necklace.

Let’s method the staff-

“···uh?”

“···uh? Jinseok Kang? What’s happening right here… Oh, do you need to audition for this one too?”

It was Kang Heeyeon AD. I don’t know why I’m right here, however seeing a well-known face eased my rigidity a bit.

“Ah, sure. “I additionally got here to audition.”

“Hey… Will you do it in parallel with Producer Kim Mansoo’s work?”

“Relatively than parallel… Really, Producer Kim Mansoo’s work is a brief position, so it’s over after filming it as soon as. So, producer Kim Mansoo really useful that I look into this position as effectively.”

Kang Heeyeon clapped her palms and nodded her head.

“Bought it. I see. All proper. “I’ll test the listing.”

“Thanks.”

After ending the dialog with Kang Hee-yeon, I went to an empty chair and sat down.

‘···Everyone seems to be staring.’

In actual fact, he deserved it.

If a man got here and talked to the employees in a pleasant means and mentioned, ‘The PD really useful it,’ everybody couldn’t assist however get nervous.

‘I wasn’t significantly making an attempt to draw consideration…’

It’s good to get consideration, however this sort of consideration just isn’t good.

As a result of the appears which might be pouring in on me now are eyes filled with envy and jealousy.

Regardless of how good I used to be at placing metal plates on my face, I felt uncomfortable with these appears.

I wasn’t very comfortable, however I wasn’t indignant.

I felt like a baby for getting indignant over simply talking informally, and greater than something, with the audition arising, I needed to maintain my thoughts as calm as potential.

Whereas I used to be eager about that, Lee Homin’s supervisor began in search of one thing on his cellphone.

Trying on the environment, it appeared like they had been trying to find my identify.

Lee Homin’s supervisor mentioned, “Brother, I searched on the Web, however I couldn’t discover something with the identify Kang Jinseok.”

“Okay? However how did you audition for this position? Did your company assist you?” Homin Lee requested me once more.

As I seemed round, the environment turned even stranger, and candidates had been watching me and Lee Homin with nervous eyes.

“It hurts my pleasure, why are they placing me along with an unknown rookie? It’s absurd.”

At these phrases, I frowned with out realizing it.

‘···I’m the one who finds it absurd.’

That is the audition room.

For actors, an audition heart is similar as a CSAT examination heart for test-takers, and for folks taking a certification examination, it’s the similar as a certification examination heart.

In a spot like that, it might be not possible to look down on one other actor so overtly.

Even well-known, established actors act as cautiously as potential when auditioning.

Relatively, I quietly undergo the audition for worry of disturbing different actors.

‘Okay, let’s simply ignore it. When you step out for no cause, the commotion may solely get greater.’

Poop is soiled, so avoiding it’s the reply. If I hit it, I’ll get soiled too.

However Lee Homin appears to have been extra of a humiliation than poop.

“Hey, why aren’t you speaking? Are you ignoring me? I do know you very effectively as a senior. Why are youngsters today so impolite? It’s absurd.”

It bothered me that each phrase I mentioned was thought of ridiculous.

I believed that if I stayed nonetheless, they might get uninterested in the fuss and cease, nevertheless it appears like they may maintain speaking if I depart them alone.

‘If I maintain doing this, different folks will even endure.’

I felt like I wanted to say one thing.

I didn’t imply to look cool.

I simply needed to create an strange audition corridor so that everybody may exhibit their expertise at at this time’s audition.

He stood up and mentioned, “Seniors. You retain saying it’s absurd, however I’m the one who’s absurd.”

“What, what?”

Lee Homin seemed fairly embarrassed, most likely not anticipating to say one thing so boldly.

“An audition is a really valuable and determined alternative for somebody. It’s not well mannered to behave like this.”

Once I said my level, Lee Homin this time held his tongue and trailed off.

“What, dangerous luck? Are you saying I’m being impolite now?!”

“Then what else is it apart from dangerous luck? It’s distracting different candidates from concentrating on their appearing.”

“What, what? Are you making an attempt to show your senior now? You mentioned all the things?!”

“No. I nonetheless have so much to say.”

Once I spoke strongly with out being pushed again, Lee Homin made an much more absurd expression.

Thus far, I’ve solely met good seniors, so it doesn’t matter what business I am going into, there shall be folks like this.

I had no intention of treating this individual like my senior.

“To place it bluntly, isn’t the rationale ‘Mr.’ Lee Homin is right here now as a result of he’s on the identical stage as us. If something had been a bit higher, the producer or author would have requested it individually.”

Lee Homin’s face turned brilliant crimson on the phrase ‘similar stage’. The supervisor subsequent to him was taking a look at me and Lee Homin backwards and forwards, not figuring out what to do.

He continued talking in a chilly tone.

“If you wish to be handled like a senior, act like one.”

“This individual···!!!”

Lee Homin was speechless, maybe as a result of he couldn’t overcome his anger. He mentioned that was the very last thing he needed to say to him.

One thing that might silence Lee Homin.

“And also you mentioned earlier that it might harm your pleasure to audition for a similar position as me, however if you’re that assured in your appearing…”

“···?”

“Let’s audition. When you get the position, I’ll deal with you want a senior.”
