Chapter 13

“You guys are trash.”

Producer Na Jinho and author Jo Seokwon flinched, maybe embarrassed by the sudden onset of the appearing. However I didn’t care.

I used to be already fully immersed in appearing, and Kang Hoshin was additionally accustomed to uttering such remarks.

I initiated the efficiency, and now I’ve remodeled right into a formidable hero.

“I got here to this land in accordance with the orders of His Majesty the Emperor to liberate Joseon from ignorance and develop it. It’s essential to reside your complete life in gratitude for His Majesty the Emperor’s grace.”

When Kang Hoshin first arrived in Joseon, he used to convey this message to the Koreans.

I repeated these phrases to Producer Na Jinho and Author Jo Seokwon, very similar to Kang Hoshin, with eyes mounted on them as if observing trash strewn by the facet of the street.

Then, I continued talking in an detached tone, devoid of the slightest trace of emotion.

“The Empire of Japan may be very merciful. So, you Koreans may have no drawback dwelling so long as you do what the empire tells you to do and what the empire desires. And my order to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor is really the order of the Empire of Japan.”

‘Indifference’ can typically resemble ‘annoyance’.

Nonetheless, Kang Hoshin didn’t hassle with coping with Koreans. As a substitute, he seen it because the destiny of a soldier who receives orders, and he undertook them passionately and critically.

And he by no means judged himself.

Simply comply with orders.

‘That’s why Kang Hoshin might communicate extra coldly and calmly than another Japanese police officer.’

He continued to keep up a chilly gaze and gathered his resolve to painting one other Japanese police officer.

This efficiency is ‘Japanese police officer offended at Koreans’. Recalling the time when Kang Hoshin was angered by the Korean folks, he slowly opened his mouth.

“You don’t salute even while you see the Imperial Navy Police, so your indoctrination has not but progressed. Take him away and provides him ten lashes.”

Isn’t there somebody like that? An individual who’s clearly very offended, however there is no such thing as a change in his or her voice or expression.

When such an individual will get offended, the environment grow to be chilly, and the ambiance freezes. Typically you get goosebumps.

I used to be simply that type of individual now.

I used to be as offended as ice. Chilly and ruthless.

Furthermore, Kang Hoshin had an aura that instilled worry in his opponents.

After I introduced it to the audition room, the as soon as quiet audition room was now not even heard.

The extra I immersed myself in appearing, the extra I turned assimilated into Kang Hoshin’s recollections and feelings, and I spat out the traces precisely as he did.

“You continue to harbor silly delusions of independence. What on earth do you consider His Majesty the Emperor’s consideration and beauty? I can’t forgive. Execute him summarily.”

An order to kill somebody.

“Your complete household is punished based on the guilt-by-association system. Ship the children who can’t resolve what’s proper but to the imperial military. To be rehabilitated there.”

An order that tears a household aside.

“I’m positive they’d have advised me to report one thing like this, however nobody reported it. It’s clear that everybody is on the identical web page. Burn the village!”

He might have simply given a ruthless order to burn down a village.

I, no, Kang Hoshin didn’t think about Koreans who didn’t comply with his phrases as human beings.

He felt like he had seen sufficient of the ‘Japanese police officer who was offended on the Koreans’ and took a second to catch his breath. It’s clear that I’m the one respiration, however for some cause, I really feel a way of strangeness.

Within the subsequent act, earlier than the stress dropped, he started ‘A Japanese police officer is disillusioned in Japan’.

Dump.

He lowered his knees to the ground. When my knees hit the stone flooring, I heard a moderately disagreeable sound.

When folks kneel like this, everybody prefers to kneel gently.

The reason being easy.

As a result of it hurts in the event you kneel laborious.

However people who find themselves really despairing and disillusioned don’t care about that.

To an individual whose whole physique feels weak, whose coronary heart is full of insufferable discomfort, and who solely has anger and betrayal in his head.

The ache of hitting your knee on the ground is nothing.

Now I did that.

I knelt down like a formidable deity who had simply discovered about my father’s dying in jail.

And he glared at my hand with the identical fierce gaze he used to repair on Koreans.

‘Why on earth have I been dwelling like this?’

His palms are shaking. I shook so laborious that my power started to pressure. The joints in my fingers ached.

With that ‘trembling,’ I expressed quite a lot of feelings with no single line of dialogue.

Then, immediately, I remembered the moments once I was loyal to Japan.

The moments once I volunteered to go to warfare, overcame lots of of near-death crises, polished the medals I earned with different folks’s blood day by day, and bowed day by day to the Emperor of Japan who didn’t even know of my existence.

It was a second filled with glory that turned ‘Kang Hoshin’ into ‘Nakamura’ till now.

However all of that was now not glory. Now it’s simply disgust.

When Kang Hoshin realized that, he screamed.

“Aaaahhh!”Ñøv€lRapture marked the preliminary internet hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

He struck his head on the ground like an individual consumed by insanity past anger. At that second, Kang Hoshin pounded his head till it bled, and he fainted.

However I didn’t go that far. That’s as a result of appearing is ‘too’ life like.

I awoke slowly. There was venom in his eyes, however they didn’t really feel as chilly as earlier than. After all, there have been no tears.

As a result of proper now in entrance of me had been two judges pretending to be ‘Koreans who held my father’s funeral on my behalf.’

In entrance of them, I performed the position of a ‘Japanese police officer who determined to dedicate himself to Joseon.’

He uttered the final line in a somber voice.

“Thanks.”

But it surely was one thing fully surprising. Was Kang Hoshin, not the character you thought he was?

“ah···. sure. For those who inform me what half I’m missing, I’ll work laborious to be taught.”

After I spoke in a nervous voice, author Jo Seokwon waved his hand and laughed.

“No no. It’s not that I don’t prefer it, it’s that I used to be stunned as a result of it was so life like.”

At these phrases, my worries from earlier than melted away instantly.

‘Thank god…’

Writer Jo Seokwon took out a thick pocket book from his bag.

“It is a pocket book through which I wrote down the analysis I did to create a Japanese police officer. However the appearing that Jinseok Kang simply confirmed is similar to the Japanese cops proven right here.”

It was such excessive reward that I’d by no means hear it once more.

“Thanks!”

“I ought to be the one to thanks. I actually loved the great appearing. Thanks to your laborious work.”

“Sure!”

“I might charge it this manner. Now, let’s take heed to the PD’s analysis.”

PD Na Jinho spoke instantly.

“For those who have a look at the appearing simply now, you possibly can’t inform who has 10 years of expertise and who’s a rookie.”

This was additionally an ideal praise to me, and fairly a humiliating analysis to Lee Homin.

“Mr. Lee Homin. I directed loads of drama, proper? As that type of individual, I’m telling you to do effectively, Lee Homin, so don’t be offended and pay attention.”

“···sure.”

“It’s now not a spot that treats you simply since you spend loads of time like earlier than. These days, scary rookies are arising like loopy. Like Kang Jinseok.”

Producer Na Jinho pointed at me. Then Lee Homin glared at me barely.

‘Even on this state of affairs, you construct up your satisfaction…’

Sadly or fortuitously, PD Na Jinho didn’t see that. He continued to present recommendation in a honest voice.

“However that doesn’t imply there’s a distinctive picture that you’ve got created thus far. When the general public seems at you now, is there a picture that involves thoughts once they consider ‘actor Lee Homin’?”

“···doesn’t exist.”

“Sure? However why didn’t you put together?”

Lee Homin mentioned in a considerably unfair voice.

“I ready lots! Isn’t it simply that the character is totally different from what the author had in thoughts?”

PD Na Jinho, who heard his phrases, hung himself. He appeared to be suppressing his anger significantly.

Producer Na Jinho took a deep breath, gathered his feelings, and spoke.

“Lee Homin, I’ve held the megaphone for 20 years. I’ve seen lots of or 1000’s of individuals carry out throughout that point. However your appearing was not ready in any respect it’s missing.”

“···.”

“For those who might really put your hand in your coronary heart and say that you simply labored laborious… Then it is advisable cease appearing. This isn’t actually for you Mr. Lee Homin.”

Producer Na Jinho, who poured out a barrage of criticism towards Lee Homin, spoke to author Jo Seokwon.

“Author. I feel Kang Jinseok might be high-quality, what do you suppose?”

“Sure. I’m additionally comfortable as a result of it looks as if Kang Jinseok has studied lots.”

At these phrases, a smile appeared on my face with out me understanding. However my pleasure now was unhealthy information for Lee Homin, so I didn’t present it as a lot as doable.

I don’t like Lee Homin, however I assumed it was the minimal courtesy as an actor.

“Then it seems like he’s obtained the half, so I’ll exit. I hope the drama does effectively.”

Nonetheless, Lee Homin spoke as if he was capturing on the two folks. Not solely the way in which he spoke, however even his voice was impolite.

“···Tsk.”

Then he glanced at me, clicked his tongue, and left the audition room.

Bang!

“Huh, actually…”

“That individual is de facto… It’s absurd.”

Producer Na Jinho and author Jo Seokwon concurrently expressed their astonishment at Lee Homin’s surprising habits.

‘hmm…’

What would it not have been like if Lee Homin had put apart his satisfaction and listened to the recommendation of author Seokwon Jo and the recommendation of the producer?

‘I assume I felt somewhat sorry.’

That’s as a result of I acted as a ‘possession’.

After all, that doesn’t imply I didn’t strive. Actually, I can confidently say that I reside a extra intense life than another actor.

However, I should have felt sorry as a result of I took a check known as an audition with the reply sheet known as possession.

‘However there’s no have to really feel sorry for somebody like that.’

As I appeared blankly on the door the place Lee Homin left, PD Na Jinho smiled and mentioned.

“Don’t fear about Lee Homin, let’s discuss in regards to the essential stuff first.”

“sure? Ah, sure!”

‘It’s an essential matter… ‘What’s that?’

Whereas I used to be questioning, PD Na Jinho took out his cellphone. And after checking one thing, he appeared straight at me.

“As a result of there isn’t a lot left till filming.”

“···.”

“Let’s set the looks price first.”

It was actually an ‘essential matter’.
