Translator: Dreamscribe

The center-aged man with the goatee, or relatively, Track Man-woo, a veteran drama PD at SBC, had a superb eye for actors. He was even fairly demanding.

He had the credentials for it.

In spite of everything, he had been directing for practically 20 years within the drama discipline. He produced no less than 15 works, a lot of which had been hits. When he first acquired a request to be a decide for the primary spherical of “Tremendous Actor” auditions, he had no excessive expectations.

At most, just one or two individuals can be value seeing out of 1,000.

Even these would in all probability be no totally different than trash in the marketplace. Simply as he thought, the primary contestant was a catastrophe. That contestant was Kang Woojin.

Track Man-woo’s first impression of Woojin was,

‘His face appears to be like like a screw is lacking.’

He appeared silly. As if to verify this, the highest actress Hong Hye-yeon sitting on his left stated,

“PD, doesn’t he appear a bit dim-witted?”

The casting director from a well known manufacturing firm, sitting on his proper, shared an identical impression.

“I agree. It appears powerful from the beginning.”

Kang Woojin appeared spiritless. Track Man-woo noticed him as lifeless. His appearing would in all probability be meaningless.

Furthermore,

“Excuse me, sir. Can I’ve a second?”

The whispering of the primary PD of ‘Tremendous Actor,’ a feminine PD with brief hair, amplified Track Man-woo’s sigh.

“That particular person isn’t an official participant. He simply got here with a pal, and the pal is presently within the restroom.”

“So?”

“If the primary participant will get eradicated, the ambiance received’t be good from the beginning. So, why don’t we simply let him act for a bit to kill a while?”

“Killing time?”

“Sure. If we may even seize a gag lower, it could be good. In spite of everything, we do want some materials for the YouTube previews or teasers.”

In different phrases, the fool wasn’t even an official participant.

“So that you wish to use him as bait for hooking?”

“Ah- bait is a bit harsh. Simply let’s give it a attempt.”

“······Nicely, as the primary PD, it’s your name. However it is best to undoubtedly ask for his consent, proper?”

“After all, it’s not like we’re within the previous days.”

Kang Woojin, an unusual particular person, or a sacrifice for hooking. That was the conclusion drawn by the three judges, together with Track Man-woo PD. And so, Kang Woojin’s appearing started.

The ambiance drastically modified inside simply 5 seconds.

“Huh! Cough!”

The loose-screwed Kang Woojin struck shock into Track Man-woo PD’s face. Actress Hong Hye Yeon’s expression was value seeing too.

After which one minute handed.

All of a sudden, everybody within the room was frozen. Not solely the judges watching Woojin, who was desperately sobbing on the ground, however all ten or so ‘Tremendous Actor’ workers members as nicely.

The impression of Kang Woojin’s appearing was simply that sturdy.

In only one minute, he captivated the veteran eyes current.

“Ugh! Huhu-”

It was reasonable, vivid, and intense. Even with out wanting on the script, they might inform that Kang Woojin was in a forest and was being chased by a wierd man.

Seeing this proper in entrance of his eyes, Track Man-woo PD thought,

‘This isn’t only a matter of excellent luck or expertise. That is one thing that has been honed for no less than 5 years. Even perhaps 10.’

He overturned the analysis of Kang Woojin. It was a ability that even high actors who make a dwelling from appearing couldn’t simply grasp.

“Feelings change into attitudes, emotions change into postures.”This chapter’s preliminary launch occurred on the n0vell–Bjjn website.

“Worries change into expressions, and smells change into delusions.”

All of those combine collectively to create the expression of a personality, and this expression that got here out with problem have to be chewed totally within the mouth for a single applicable line to be spit out.

You could repeat this course of endlessly to barely seize a single lower.

Many actors presently within the nation stake their lives on this course of. Even high stars and veteran actors who’re hailed as the perfect.

And but he,

“Is he implementing it after briefly wanting on the script?”

Kang Woojin is doing it effortlessly. It was not on the stage of simply being good at appearing. Woojin was only a character within the script proper now. However the shock didn’t finish there. It was due to Kang Woojin’s calm reply to the query.

“I’m self-taught.”

Self-taught? He acquired such insane appearing by means of self-study?

‘Simply how lonely a journey has he been on?’

On this means, Kang Woojin shocked everybody, together with high actresses, veteran drama PDs, and different workers members current.

-Silence

He calmly left the room. There was nobody to cease him. Everybody simply had dumbfounded expressions.

After this.

“I’m, I’m sorry!!”

The precise first contestant, Kang Woojin’s pal, entered. It was Kim Dae-young, who usually wore an boastful expression, however now had a responsible look on his face, and as quickly as he noticed him, the primary query from PD Track Man-woo was this.

“The pal who got here with you. What’s their job?”

“…Excuse me? Ah, he works in design. Why are you asking?”

“Proceed?”

“Sure, has been doing design solely…”

All of the solutions Kang Woojin gave had been confirmed to be true. And being self-taught too. Track Man-woo had a sense that Kang Woojin was an unknown, hidden grasp within the business.

“Understood, Mr. Kim Dae-young. Let’s begin along with your appearing.”

He turned his gaze to Kim Dae-young.

“Sure!”

Nonetheless, sadly, Kim Dae-young’s appearing…

“Minimize. That’s sufficient. Thanks to your effort.”

The curtain fell in simply 15 seconds.

10 minutes later, the bus cease in entrance of the SBC headquarters Arts Middle.

There was fairly a crowd gathered round, together with household and pals who had come for in the present day’s preliminary match. Amongst them was Kang Woojin, who appeared to have fled from the Arts Middle.

“Ah… shit.”

Sitting on the bus cease chair, he was urgent his temples laborious. He had a headache, however he was additionally processing the surprising occasion that had simply occurred.

‘One thing black and sq. appeared subsequent to the script, proper? After I pressed it, I used to be sucked into a wierd house.’

An endlessly darkish void.

‘I had the script I acquired floating in that rattling place, and once I pressed on it… I used to be all of a sudden transported to a loopy forest. I undoubtedly died there, didn’t I?’

‘Simply as I believed.’

Black rectangles appeared subsequent to the 2 scripts and the situation. The scale was barely totally different for every. Anyhow, right here Woo-jin completed his first affirmation and sighed deeply.

“Phew-”

He checked the present time. It was 11:41 AM. Woo-jin tapped the air along with his barely trembling index finger, and Kim Daeyoung, who was sitting in entrance of him, chuckled.

“Have you ever lastly misplaced it? What are you doing?”

Kang Woo-jin significantly replied to his pal.

“Simply watch. Okay?”

“I’m watching.”

At this second.

-Poof!

Woo-jin’s index finger poked one of many black rectangles, which was one of many e-book scripts. Then.

“Eek!”

With a sense that his entire physique was going numb, the void pulled Woo-jin, and for a second he let loose an absurd chuckle.

“I’m again right here once more.”

Earlier than he knew it, all he may see in his sight was an endlessly darkish house. He entered once more, into this house he didn’t even know what it was. The sensation of being adrift was the identical.

Nonetheless.

“Let’s see-”

Maybe as a result of he had skilled it as soon as earlier than, Woojin was relatively calm now. He had gained a little bit of composure. But, his concern and terror remained. However Kang Woojin needed to compose himself.

-Whoosh.

He turned his physique to verify the again. There it was – a white sq. floating at about his chest top. What was attention-grabbing was,

“Has it elevated?”

There was a change from earlier than. The purpose that there was not one white sq. however two.

In different phrases.

“Plainly they maintain including up.”

It meant that the quantity elevated as he acquired a brand new script or situation. He hadn’t checked it up shut but, however the second white sq. was most probably the e-book script that Kang Woojin had simply touched.

Nonetheless, Woojin didn’t method the floating white sq..

“Then, initially.”

There was one other experiment to conduct first.

“Depart!”

He shouted loudly, however there was no change.

“Out! Logout! Exterior!”

Kang Woojin continued to yell different comparable phrases.

“Return! Hey! Girl! Let me out! Flip off!”

About 5 minutes had handed on this means.

At that second.

“Ahh- shit! Exit!!”

With the phrase ‘exit’, a grey colour swept over Kang Woojin. It was a sudden state of affairs.

“Huh!”

As a consequence of this, he unknowingly let loose a groan. Quickly, Kim Daeyoung’s voice was heard in Woojin’s ear.

“Hey! What’s up unexpectedly? Are you okay?”

In Woojin’s sight, as he slowly turned his head, stood Kim Daeyoung. He had returned to Daeyoung’s room. He was barely dazed, however he had undoubtedly escaped from that void.

The reply was just one.

‘Exit. That’s the command to get out.’

Woojin instantly checked the present time. It was 11:41 within the morning. The identical time as when he entered that loopy house.

‘I spent about 5 minutes in there. However the time stays the identical.’

If you enter that boundless house, the time exterior stops. Or no less than it slows down significantly. Woojin, who got here up with an affordable reply, requested Kim Daeyoung.

“How did I look simply now?”

“What do you imply? You had been simply pointing your finger like an fool.”

“Subsequent,”

“You paused for a second after which all of a sudden gasped. Hey, are you actually okay?”

From his pal’s response, Kang Woojin stroked his chin.

“That is enjoyable. So, next-”

Simply as Woojin was about to stretch out his finger once more,

-Vrrr, vrrrr.

Kim Daeyoung’s telephone on the desk vibrated. Due to that, he, who had been Woojin worriedly, picked up the telephone.

“Sure- Hi there.”

Quickly, Kim Daeyoung, who was speaking with somebody, made eye contact with Woojin sitting in entrance of him.

“Sure, sure, sure. Ah! Sure? Ah, sure, sure. Maintain on a second. He’s proper in entrance of me now.”

After ending his phrases, Kim Daeyoung pushed his telephone to Woojin, whispering softly.

“The ‘Tremendous Actor’ PD needs to speak to you.”

Kang Woojin instantly frowned. However he accepted the telephone anyway.

“Sure.”

A barely excited feminine voice got here from the opposite facet of the telephone.

“Mr. Kang Woojin?? Oh my- We had been stunned whenever you all of a sudden disappeared!”

As quickly as he heard her voice, Kang Woojin’s bravado kicked in once more. Due to his earlier embarrassment.

“Nicely, um, sure.”

“Um- Woojin? Do you by any probability have any intention of showing on ‘Tremendous Actor’ once more?”

“Why?”

“You handed! You handed the primary spherical! When you may come to the second preliminary spherical, that may be actually nice! The story can be good, you got here along with your pal however you ended up passing as a substitute? Isn’t that enjoyable?”

You wish to make me a laughing inventory? You’re speaking nonsense. Kang Woojin answered the excited PD over the telephone in a low and heavy voice. As a result of it was vital to take care of his picture.

“I don’t wish to.”

He added an excuse to neutralize his embarrassment to his present of energy.

“It was only a killing time anyway.”

Because it was only a method to cross the time, he implied that she ought to neglect about it. Nonetheless, it appeared that the ‘Tremendous Actor’ PD on the opposite finish of the telephone interpreted it in another way.

“That appearing…was only a killing time?”
