Chapter 53:
Yooil filled his mouth with fluffy rice as Jin Hayoung, sitting across from him, smiled warmly.
Yooil, if you want more, just say so~
Yooil shook his head.
Auntie, this is already my third bowl.
Eat more! You've been too thin lately.
The steaming, savory doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) was also refilled.
Its been a long time since I had a meal with auntie.
Especially with his recent tight schedule, Yooil hadnt had a chance to eat with Jin Hayoung, so he eagerly devoured his meal.
* * *
Ah.
Yooil lay exhausted in his bed, feeling the effects of overeating and an extended workout.
He stared blankly at the ceiling. To his right floated a semi-transparent window.
3rd Stage Goal Achievement Rate: 2.2%
As the achievement rate became crucial, Brion had started displaying the rate in a semi-transparent window.
It was 1.9% a week ago, I think.
The rate had risen slightly.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
A simple calculation showed that an increase of 0.3% per day was needed to reach 100% in a year.
Over the past week, with no schedules other than school, exercise, and practice, Yooil hadnt expected much increase in the rate.
But does the rate increase even with script practice outside the filming set?
Yes. The achievement rate can increase depending on the quality and quantity of acting.
Brion had mentioned that the theme for the 3rd stage was Reinterpretation.
If that means reinterpreting works or remakes of acting
Just then, Yooils phone rang.
Manager Min Woojin: Lets meet at the company tomorrow!
Tomorrow was the day Yooil was to review the scripts that had been offered to him.
Can I find it?
He closed his eyes slowly, mixing worry with anticipation.
* * *
Mr. Yooil.
Already present in the office, Han Yooil stood up.
I was going to ask if you had a good break
Scanning Yooil from top to bottom, Jang Jaehyun tilted his head slightly.
You seem to have lost more weight.
Though he thought he had been eating well recently.
Yooil looked down at his body, not noticing any significant change himself.
Han Yooils current weight is 72.8kg. A reduction of 2.5kg compared to a month ago.
Are you managing your weight for a new role?
Yooil fumbled his response. It seemed like the stress of potentially dying in 3 years was taking its toll, but
It was a good excuse.
Here are the project proposals currently being discussed for casting.
Jang Jaehyun handed Yooil a selection of scripts he had personally chosen.
Among the incoming scripts, there are mostly romance, primarily for secondary male lead roles. There are some bigger-scale dramas and movies as well, but mostly significant supporting roles.
Thank you.
Yooil earnestly reviewed the proposals. As Jang Jaehyun had said, most were of the romance genre.
Watching Yooil flip through the files, Jang Jaehyun added softly,
I thought Mr. Yooil would be interested in good projects, even if they are not leading roles.
Yooil couldnt help but smile at that.
You're quite right.
As Yooil reviewed each project proposal, one caught his attention and he picked it up.
!
Seeing the project Yooil held, Jang Jaehyun looked at him with surprise.
I didnt expect him to choose that one.
The work of Kim Soobong, a director who passed away decades ago but still considered one of the greatest in Korea.
Whenever you make that face, I feel like I am being bleached out.
The classic film, known for Ha Sunwooks iconic performance.
It was a remake of .
That's unexpected.
Jang Jaehyun looked at Yooil with an amused expression.
The protagonist of is Jinhee herself. Its not an overstatement to say the film is 80% carried by the protagonist.
The role Yooil could play was Kiwoon, the man who courts Jinhee. A character mainly appearing in the second act.
But its an attractive character.
Despite his limited screen time, Kiwoon' is a character with significant influence. As the story progresses, he essentially becomes Jinhees world. A character that demands attention in terms of direction and character development.
I knew he was smart.
But he also thinks ahead.
Jang Jaehyun revised his opinion of Han Yooil once more.
The warmth of the wind is peculiar, making Hojun turn his head involuntarily.
Then, he sees a figure swiftly passing by.
Startled, Hojun shifts his gaze
In front of him, a student in an unshortened school skirt wanders the corridor.
Long hair fluttering in the wind.
And the skirt twirling like a dance.
Her fingers gracefully slice through the air,
And her toes irregularly tap the ground.
The girl hops and skips down the corridor.
She is dancing.
Hojun, watching the girl in a daze, finds himself thinking.
Beautiful.
If any other kids had danced in the corridor, it would have been laughable.
But not this girl.
The warm breeze.
The girl's dance seemed to embody the very wind that was brushing through Hojun's hair.
Min Hojun was reminded of a ballet performance he had seen with his parents long ago. Yet, the shock he felt now was even greater than what he had felt at that performance.
Unexpectedly, Hojun spoke.
May I draw you?
At Hojun's words, the girl, Yein, turns around. Her clear brown eyes, initially widened in surprise, gradually curve into a smile.
Oh, its you.
The same endearing and mysterious smile that she had shown when they first met reappears on her face.
Go ahead.
Yein approaches closer.
With footsteps so quiet they dont make a sound.
Hojun watches her, unable to even blink.
Suddenly, Yein's face is right before his eyes.
Her pink lips part.
But you have to keep a secret.
What secret?
Not to tell anyone who the model is.
Hojun nods as if entranced.
The mere thought of capturing this scene makes his heart start racing.
I'll keep it. A secret.
.
.
.
Cut!
Director Yoo Jaeho calls out in an excited voice.
Just as Director Yoo is about to happily shout okay,
Director.
The first to speak is Kim Suna.
Sorry. Can we do it one more time?
Huh?
Director Yoo Jaeho looks at Kim Suna, puzzled.
Why? Whats wrong?
The dancing scene it feels too awkward.
"?"
It seemed fine?
But if the actor feels its not right, theres no reason not to shoot it again.
Alright. Lets go for it one more time.
So they shoot the scene again.
Yet, theres no significant difference from before.
Kim Suna unconsciously starts biting her lower lip.
This isnt it.
Despite following the practice perfectly, she couldnt figure out why it didnt feel right.
Its then that Yooil speaks.
Excuse me, senior.
Sunas head snaps up, seemingly surprised that Yooil is addressing her.
Did you practice the dance barefoot by any chance?
Sunas gaze lingers briefly on Yooils face.
Yes.
Somehow.
Nodding, Yooil whispers softly,
Then how about trying to dance barefoot here as well?
At those words, Kim Sunas eyes widen.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
