Sitting at a window-side seat contained in the café, Kang Woojin appeared very composed outwardly. Nonetheless, he was fairly bowled over whereas taking a look at Director Shin Dong-chun throughout him.

‘Did I make a verbal mistake? I didn’t act robust simply now.’

Is that this man normally emotionally weak? Kang Woojin’s interior response was typically regular. Anybody would react the identical method if the individual they had been conversing with out of the blue turned teary-eyed, particularly if it’s a person who appears to be like properly into his 40s.

‘How ought to I reply if this man cries? Ought to I preserve my cool demeanor? Why is he performing like this within the first place?’

After all, he additionally didn’t know in regards to the present lifetime of Director Shin Dong-chun.

‘It’s getting worse. Ought to I cease it?’

“······Kang Woojin.”

Then, Director Shin Dong-chun requested Woojin in a barely trembling voice.

“What a part of ‘Exorcism’ did you want… Might I ask?”

What half did he like? Kang Woo-jin couldn’t assist feeling a bit irritated, however calming Director Shin Dong-chun’s unusual state was a precedence. Folks within the café started to look round.

‘I don’t know why he’s like this. Reward. Sure, let’s reward him.’

Due to this fact, Woojin determined to speak in regards to the good factors of ‘Exorcism’. After all, whereas protecting his solemn tone.

“Firstly, I actually appreciated the detailed psychological adjustments of the protagonist Kim Ryu-jin. It began off slightly gloomy however…”

Woojin continued to calmly recite his praises whereas checking on Director Shin Dong-chun’s state. Very delicately and meticulously. Director Shin Dong-chun, who wrote the script, wouldn’t be capable to really feel ‘Exorcism’ firsthand. Nonetheless, Kang Woojin had fully learn by means of ‘Exorcism’.

Due to this fact, the phrases Woojin spouted had been extremely detailed. A praise that solely Kang Woojin, who has a void area, may make.

At this level,

“Ah.”

Director Shin Dong-chun, with reddened eyes, was as soon as once more hit with shock and emotion.

‘He, he is aware of this a lot intimately. As if he had gone into the world of ‘Exorcism’ and are available out.’

‘From the characters’ ideas and feelings, to the work’s background, set, even the climate. He even jogs my memory of elements I had ignored. He should have learn my script dozens of instances, no, much more.’

It appeared he had already completed his evaluation and had even created character fashions. Quickly, Director Shin Dong-chun, whereas staring intently at Kang Woojin, blamed himself.

‘Hey Shin Dong-chun. There’s an actor who exhibits this a lot affection and attachment to ‘Exorcism’.’

Once more, this was a misunderstanding.

‘Are you going to only throw ‘Exorcism’ out for the mere goal of doing whitewashing?’

It doesn’t matter what, Director Shin Dong-chun made up his thoughts at this second.

‘His performing was sufficient to indicate within the movie business. There’s no want for additional concern when he has already analyzed the work this meticulously.’

‘I’ll flip over all of the tables in ‘Exorcism’.’

“I’m going to show the tables.”

“…Excuse me?”

“Woojin.”

Director Shin Dong-chun, with newfound confidence on his face, slowly leaned in the direction of Woojin. Then again, Kang Woojin, with a poker face, discreetly leaned again.

Regardless, Director Shin Dong-chun forcefully blurted out,

“Please tackle the position of the primary character of ‘Exorcism’, Kim Ryu-jin.”

Folks had been pouring out of two yellow minibuses. Roughly ten folks. They appeared like vacationers at a look, however they weren’t.

“Sure, I do know him, PD Dong-chun. He’s been out of sight not too long ago as a result of he’s making a film.”

“Proper. It looks as if Woojin needed to do a brief movie that Dong-chun wrote.”

“What… abruptly? The drama script studying hasn’t even began but?”

“Effectively, I’m not precisely certain myself. I’ll have to substantiate. However the state of affairs with that quick movie is a bit sophisticated.”

“Why?”

Hong Hye-yeon’s query got here from throughout the telephone, however PD Music Man-woo, with a smile on his face, evaded the query. If he informed her all the things, her curiosity would wane.

“Later. I’m busy proper now, Hong star. Let’s finish the decision.”

“Wait a minute!”

“Sure?”

“Did you see the quick movie script from PD Dong-chun? What’s the title?”

Amongst them, Hong Hye-yeon was sitting on the lounge couch.

Even her pajamas had been black. Her lengthy hair was neatly tied in a single strand. She was staring blankly at one thing, her face absorbed in thought.

“……”

Then, Hong Hye-yeon regarded on the telephone in her hand. She was recalling her dialog with PD Music Man-woo 10 minutes in the past.

‘Immediately going for a brief movie?’

So, Hong Hye-yeon was additionally occupied with Kang Woojin, an oddball.

‘Why would he shift to a brief movie proper after taking part in an enormous undertaking like ‘Profiler Hanryang’??’

Her curiosity and curiosity had been about to blow up. Particularly, she had turn into deeply excited by Kang Woojin, the actor, or extra exactly, his distinctive and impressed performing.

“···I wish to see that quick movie.”

She needed to look at his performing along with her personal eyes as a result of she may solely really feel his performing methodology by watching him carry out proper in entrance of her.

Her irrepressible ambition for performing was absolutely activated.

Then,

However,

She couldn’t fairly replicate it. Regardless of training each time she had a couple of days, she couldn’t fairly get there. However Kang Woojin had checked out this facet script for a minute and carried out it effortlessly.

‘I don’t know in regards to the previous, but when he… as soon as he rises, he’ll actually outshine all the highest actors. Little doubt. The identical goes for me.’

At this second, Hong Hye-yeon felt a sudden surge of anonymous frustration.

“Ah- actually. I hate being left behind!”

On the similar time,

-Dingdong♬♪

Somebody rang her doorbell. It looks as if somebody was supposed to return. Due to this, Hong Hye-yeon opened the entrance door along with her irritation nonetheless current, and shortly after, a person with glasses with out frames appeared.

“I’m hungry, I’m ravenous. Hye-yeon, do you have got something to eat at dwelling??”

The person who known as Hong Hye-yeon fairly familiarly. He was the CEO of Hong Hye-yeon’s company. However, it was a startup leisure firm. In actual fact, Hong Hye-yeon was the one artist, and the company CEO was the one who had been caring for her since her debut. In different phrases, that they had been collectively all alongside.

Whereas he was taking off his footwear,

“Brother.”

Hong Hye-yeon, along with her arms crossed, out of the blue made a request.
