Han Hae-un and Cha Woo-joo

“It’s an audition to select a supporting role, so is there a reason why you prepared a scene with a sub-leading role as a free acting?”

“It’s the character I love the most in the scenario you sent me, so it’s not the role you’re selected for by audition, but I wanted to act even at this opportunity.”

Caddy Jung nodded thinking that this was fate, since the director was also notified of the casting vacancy for the role of ‘Cha Woo-joo’ only this morning, so the applicant could not have known in advance.

“Um. I saw it well, Ryu Yeon-woo. What kind of drink should I buy for Cheol-min? Good job. I’ll call you later, so go out.”

After the director, who had a tired expression on his face from the audition march that continued from lunch, saw Yeonwoo, his face brightened.

“Yes. It was Rookie Actor Ryu Yeon-woo! Thank you.”

Yeon-woo leaves the room after saying hello with enthusiasm.

The door opened again and the staff entered.

“I’ll let the next participant in.”

“No, wait. Let’s rest for about 10 minutes.”

“Yes, Director.”

Director Kim Han-soo closed the door again and looked left and right at the staff leaving.

The other directors meet each other’s eyes.

“Everyone is thinking the same thing as me, right?”

“Director. This is a phone violation, isn’t it?”

“Wooju-ya…, Yeonwoo-ya.”

The people at the production company nod their heads while sharing their eyes with each other, and writer Choi Mi-hyun, who is still restless.

Thus, Yeonwoo’s first audition in life ended.

Yeonwoo came down to the first floor.

It was the first time I experienced a casting audition in the first place, so I don’t know if I did well or not.

However, Yeonwoo has no regrets since she finished preparing without any mistakes.

He picked up his smartphone and called Jeong Chul-min, who was waiting for him to come out.

– Oh man, are you done?

“Yes, it is the place where you dropped off in front of the building.”

-okay. I’ll be going soon. Talking on the phone while driving is dangerous, so get in the car and talk.

“Yes, I will wait.”

After a while, Cheol-min’s car arrived and picked up Yeon-woo.

“Did you do well without any mistakes?”

Cheolmin asked while changing the gear lever and turning the car.

“Yes. There were no mistakes, but it was a bit strange.”

“Isn’t that weird? Which one?”

“After finishing free acting, I also did the scene of Cha Woo-Joo in the designated acting.”

Cheolmin tilted his head.

“Isn’t it Hwang Jae-il or Choi Hyuk?”

“Yeah, should I have prepared for the role of Hwang Jae-il with free acting?”

Cheol-min scratched his chin in response to Yeon-woo’s words.

“No, you just have to show your acting skills in free acting. In other auditions, it’s common to act in other movies or dramas.”

Cheolmin tilted his head again and asked again.

“Did you say anything other than that?”

“Um, before acting, you complimented me on my looks. Oh, I think the director said that you should buy me a drink?”

“Senior Kim? Would you like me to drink?”

As we went down to Daejeon while having a conversation about the audition, the two of them stopped by a rest area after slowly departing for the forced march that started early in the morning.

“Auntie, give me some ramen. Yeonwoo, what would you like to eat?”

“I’ll eat chueotang.”

Jeong Chul-min is worried about changing the menu in response to Yeon-woo’s answer.

“Look at your taste, you bastard. It’s your taste.”

“It’s soul food.”

They sat down and handed each other rude jokes.

“Yeonwoo, look. The gaze you feel around you. Anyone who sees you will know that you are already a celebrity.”

As Cheol-min said, everyone who comes to the restaurant at the service area glances at Yeon-woo’s face, regardless of age or gender.

There are even people who turn their heads and stare openly.

“You could see the teacher. You’re an actor.”

“Hey, man. Who knows me. Some people in the industry don’t know.”

Yeon-woo was shy too, so he turned away, but he could feel the gazes staring at him no matter who he was.

“Yeonwoo, it’s number 157. The youngest should receive it.”

“Haha. There are two, but who is the youngest? Of course I have to go.”

I was going to get my food with my numbered ticket when I heard a murmur around me.

“You must be an idol!”

“You look a little young, but maybe you’re a trainee?”

“Anyway, the face is great.”

“Hey, ask for my number.”

At the encouragement of his friends, one of the crowds approached and talked to Yeon-woo.

“Hey, could you give me your number?”

“···yes?”

Seeing the woman who suddenly approached, Yeon-woo held out the number plate he was holding in his hand.

“Uh, but it’s our food…?”

“Not this number…, no. I’m sorry!”

Yeon-woo tilts her head when she sees a woman running away after nodding goodbye.

I headed back to the food court and handed out a numbered ticket, and the aunt smiled and handed me a tray of food.

“Aigoo, student. You’re so handsome. It’s packed full of flavor, so I eat it deliciously.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Is it possible to give more food than the fixed amount at highway rest areas?

Anyway, Yeon-woo is always admiring how kind the world is while living with a different appearance than in his previous life.

Even on the way back to their seats, people’s gazes at Yeonwoo and the murmur did not diminish.

Jeong Cheol-min smiled and spoke to Yeon-woo who arrived at the table and sat down to put the food down.

“No, look. You haven’t debuted yet, but you’re already a celebrity.”

“It was my first experience like this, so I was embarrassed.”

“It will become a daily routine soon.”

After eating, Cheol-min said he was going to smoke a cigarette, bought coffee and headed to the smoking area.

Yeon-woo said that he would go to the car first, took the key and turned around.

Then, Cheol-min’s phone rang.

“Yes, sir!”

Jeong Cheol-min, who sees the name on the screen, receives it urgently.

Ryu Yeon-woo, who turned around, also pricked up his ears and looked at Jeong Chul-min.

– Cheol-min junior. I went to that student’s audition today, Mr. Ryu Yeon-woo. I just finished auditioning.

“Yes, senior. I’m on the way down with a ride.”

– Did you come up to Seoul together? Why don’t you show your face?”

At the words of Kim Han-soo, who seemed to be sad, Jeong Chul-min trembled.

“Oh, sunbaenim. I know the audition hall is hectic. Sooner or later, I’ll have to serve you a drink separately. Oh, it’s definitely not because of the casting. Haha.”

– Mr. Cheolmin. I need to buy a drink.

“Yeah? What are you talking about? I need a drink.”

– That’s it.

Whoop! yes?!

Cheol-min, who was talking on the phone, spewed out the coffee he was drinking.

“Yes, yes, of course. Oh, thank you. That’s right, senior. I told you. Because it’s crazy. Yeah.”

Curiosity was etched on Yeon-woo’s face at Cheol-min’s intense reaction.

“Yes, come in, sir. See you soon.”

After the call, Cheol-min looked at Yeon-woo.

“How’s it going, sir?”

Cheol-min, who looked at Yeon-woo without saying a word, caught his mouth and slapped Yeon-woo on the back with all his might.

puck!

Ahh!

“Hey, this guy. You’re a lucky guy. You’ve been cast.”

“Really? Hahaha. To be honest, I was really worried in my heart.”

It was Yeon-woo, who pretended to be calm, but was worried about the audition that ended without acting for another role being cast.

“By the way, don’t be surprised. Yeonwoo.”

“Yes, sir, why?”

“You have been cast for the role of Cha Woo-Joo.”

“yes?!”

According to director Kim Han-soo, the casting of the sub male actor suddenly failed due to circumstances, and although he is a rookie, the casting judges unanimously decided to entrust the role of Cha Woo-Joo to Yeon-Woo.

Hearing the explanation, Yeonwoo was excited and jumped around in place, liking it like a child of her age.

I was tens of times happier than when I passed the National Intelligence Service in my previous life.

Yeon-woo came down to Daejeon in Jeong Cheol-min’s car.

“Sir. Thank you so much for the ride today.”

“Thank you, you did a good job, so our academy can also benefit from it.”

That being said, compared to the hard work that Jeong Cheol-min helped while preparing for this audition, the amount of publicity through Yeon-woo’s name is a small reward.

As if he were his own child, and as if he was going to an audition, he helped out until late every night and wrapped his hair while thinking about it together.

Yeon-woo had a base for acting, but it was Jeong Cheol-min who planted the seeds in that good soil.

Yeon-woo nodded once more with gratitude.

“Teacher, thank you so much for your teaching.”

“child.”

The tip of Jeong Chul-min’s nose also turned a little red as if Yeon-woo’s heart had been conveyed.

Jeong Chul-min raises the window to see if he is shy.

“I’m leaving. You must tell your parents the news.”

“Yes, be careful!”

Jeong Cheol-min’s car left and Yeon-woo entered the house with a happy heart.

***

A few days later, Jeong Cheol-min visited a building in Seoul with Yeon-woo’s father, Ryu Cheol-woong. He went to Tokyo to sign a contract with an official from LN Media, who was in charge of outsourcing the drama ‘Summer Wardrobe’.

“Brother, I took a closer look, but he’s a rookie, and he seems to have taken great care of it.”

“Haha, that’s right. It’s because we’re not hiring newcomers because we don’t have enough production costs this time. We’re investing in the future of your son, Ryu Yeon-woo.”

The amount of money is surprising enough for Cheol-woong, an ordinary head of the family who has spent his entire life as a civil servant.

“Heh heh. I’m confused. I heard a few days ago that my son was going to Seoul for an audition, but it must be such a big deal.”

“We are sure that Ryu Yeon-woo will grow into a big star. If you are surprised at this level, you will have trouble in the future. Father.”

The production company officials also felt better at Ryu Chul-woong’s pure reaction.

Originally, the recipient had to be happy, didn’t the giver also enjoy the taste of giving?

“Ah, and after this work is over, Yeonwoo will probably be contacted by various agencies, so please think about LN Entertainment, which is run by us at LN Media. Father.”

Ryu Cheol-woong passes to Cheol-min in embarrassment, although he is happy with the aggressive attitude of the producer.

“Yes, I understand. But it would be more convenient to discuss that with Jeong Chul-min, who is next to you. How do I know about this? Oh, of course, Yeon-woo’s thoughts are the most important.”

“Yes, I understand. I will tell you about this later. However, first of all, you will need management during this filming, so we will take responsibility as the family who eats rice in one pot for this work. You can sign here.”

Cheol-woong, who went down to Daejeon after completing the contract smoothly, was deeply moved by the fact that his son had made money for the first time.
