Chapter 421 – Audition (4)
Seo Joo-hwan nodded in greeting after finishing his performance.
“Thank you.”
Min Seon-ha lowered her head in front of me without even realizing it.
“Thank you for your effort.”
Seo Joo-hwan bowed once again and left the audition hall.
Kik, thump.
The door closed, and I looked around at the people in the public election hall and said.
“I think Seo Joo-hwan would be good for the role of Kim Jung-min. What do you all think?”
People nodded as if they were waiting.
“Good.”
“Absolutely.”
“What about drug trafficking? Something happened even before filming, but the crisis came as an opportunity.”
It means that he is definitely better than the existing actors.
Min Seon-ha secretly looked back at the middle-aged man from the investment destination. The middle-aged man opened his mouth a few times before sighing silently.
There was no disagreement.

Seo Joo-hwan smiled when he saw the acceptance notice. He was not very happy because he honestly took it for granted.
‘If I can’t pass, that’s an asshole.’
Never sleepy It was just a thought from the heart that anyone with a system would have been able to do it.
Said Lucy.
[It wouldn’t have been possible for anyone.]
“Yes?”
[Even if there is a system, efforts must be made to properly use that ability. And the owner worked incredibly hard.]
Having abilities and using them well are two different things. There is a big difference between acting on your instincts, relying on your talents and special abilities, and using them through sufficient practice.
Lucy was saying he was too modest.
However, Seo Joo-hwan just shrugged his shoulders as if it was not a big deal.
“If you say it’s hard work, you don’t have a conscience. There are so many people who are determined to die in any occupational group.”
[The owner has high standards in a strange place.]
Lucy said in a hoarse voice. After a while, she let out a laugh.
[If it is the master, then it must be so.]
“What are you laughing at alone?”
[Oh, I got a message.]
It was a message from Lee Chae-hee. To commemorate her passing her, let’s have a drink.
‘Can’t this older sister take care of her body?’
Now that I’ve found a role, I’m sure the filming schedule will be set up soon, but I don’t know what they’re thinking.
[So you’re not going?]
“Well. I’m worried I was going to write something this evening.”
I still have quite a few stockpiles, but I wanted to gather as much as possible before filming began.
Then another message came.
Lee Chae-hee: Min Seon-ha is also here. Come and learn your face.
“…… !”
Min Seon-ha is the director of this film. Seo Joo-hwan immediately got up from his seat. He wanted to go and say hello.
*
Lee Chae-hee pointed at Min Seon-ha and said.
“He’s a bit of a jerk. They said they wanted to see the face of the newly joined actor.”
“Who said to whom?”
Min Seon-ha poked Lee Chae-hee’s side of her with her troubled face of her. Lee Chae-hee, who was drinking her beer her, coughed at her.
“Hey, didn’t I tell you not to touch me when I was drinking?”
“What is alcohol? It’s non-alcoholic.”
“Tsk.”
Lee Chae-hee clicked her tongue again with a disapproving expression. She was not annoyed with Min Seon-ha, but her non-alcoholic nature didn’t like her.
At that time, Bae Seong-geun came out of the kitchen.
“Hey, Seo Joo-hwan. When the audition is over, you should contact me!”
“Did you have a brother?”
“I’ve come to watch over you. You too. You can’t drink from today.”
Bae Seong-geun is threatened.
Seo Joo-hwan nodded quietly. He’s not particularly alcoholic, and he’s not complaining about not being able to drink. Only Lee Chae-hee sipped non-alcoholic beer with a sullen face.
Bae Seong-geun congratulated him only after he agreed.
“Anyway, congratulations. I really hope you pass.”
“Well, it’s thanks to Chaehee-noona’s good guidance.”
Then a hand came forward. Min Seon-ha handed him a can of beer.
“Hey, Joo-hwan? Seo actor?”
“Yes, Director. Just call me by name You speak comfortably.”
“Can I?”
It’s popular to let go of words as if I’ve been waiting.
Seo Joo-hwan smiled and nodded his head.
Min Seon-ha smiled as she adjusted her glasses.
“Joo-hwan, feel free to call me noona, too. I heard that you and Chaehee are sisters?”
“Yes. I will, good sister.”
As soon as she called her older sister, Min Seon-ha widened her eyes and she burst out laughing.
“You are very nice. It feels completely different from being on stage.”
“It’s acting.”
“Yes, yes, how long have you been acting? He did really well.”
At that question, Lee Chae-hee and Bae Seong-geun’s expressions became strange.
Seo Joo-hwan answered while opening a beer can.
“A week.”
“… What?”
“Oh, is it the 8th until today?”
“…….”
Min Seon-ha’s words disappeared. She looked back at Lee Chae-hee and Bae Seong-geun as if asking if it was real. As the two nodded her head in affirmation, a blank laugh escaped from Min Seon-ha’s mouth her.
“Ahaha. Are you kidding me?”
“…….”
“… Really? Does that make sense?”
In response to the question of not believing at all, Seo Ju-hwan said moderately.
“I am a writer myself. So I was used to the ending scene. It’s what you do every day.”
“No, that can’t be the case. Have you ever committed murder?”
“Good.”
“Oh sorry. I said the wrong thing.”
Min Seon-ha quickly apologized for her slip of the tongue her.
Seo Joo-hwan shrugged her shoulders and replied that it was okay.
“I did fight a killer.”
“… What do you mean?”
“Shall we have a toast?”
Seo Joo-hwan held out a can of beer that he had not yet taken a sip of. Min Seon-ha hurriedly bumped into her can and urged her to speak.
“Well. It happened when I was on vacation in my later years…….”
Seo Joo-hwan drank beer and told the story. Lee Chae-hee and Bae Seong-geun, who knew roughly the circumstances, also listened to him with excited expressions. Where would you go to listen to stories about fighting a murderer?
When the story was over, Min Seon-ha and Lee Chae-hee exhaled and admired.
“You were on the news then. Aren’t you scared?”
“Aren’t you hurt anywhere?”
The two asked with worried faces about what had happened over a year ago. On the other hand, Bae Seong-geun, a man, had a slightly different point of view.
“Catching a murderer and getting a vacation cut? Wow Mr…..”
It was a natural reaction from a man who served in the military on active duty. In fact, from Seo Joo-hwan’s point of view, he had nothing to regret because he had a hearty meal with Jeong So-ra in the camp.
As we chatted like that, the day quickly passed.
Seo Joo-hwan checked the time and asked the three for their understanding.
“Sorry, but I think I have to get up first. I have to write.”
“Writing? Are you talking about Eunah Healing?”
It was Min Seon-ha’s question.
Seo Joo-hwan opened his eyes wide, as if asking how he knew the title.
“Oh, I didn’t tell you. I, Joo-hwan, have read all the novels you wrote.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Was it fun? In particular, it would be fun to make Hoe Byeong-saeng into a drama. The ‘absence of communication’ in the anthology was also impressive.”
“… Thank you I have seen all of the director’s works.”
Seo Joo-hwan replied with a bewildered face. Director Min Seon-ha couldn’t believe that he had read all of his novels. With the bizarre nickname of half-half director, she was a master of the movie version that achieved 10 million viewers.
Min Seon-ha, who said thank you to her face, suddenly said as if she was worried.
“Can you shoot while serializing?”
“Oh, don’t worry. I will make sure not to interfere with the shooting schedule. Even now, I go there to make stockpile before filming.”
“Well….”
Despite Seo Joo-hwan’s answer to her, Min Seon-ha couldn’t hide her worried look at her. She chose him after seeing his passionate acting of her, but now that she thinks about it, she is worried that she might not be able to concentrate on filming because of her day job of her.
As if Lee Chae-hee said not to worry, she patted Min Seon-ha on the shoulder and said to Seo Joo-hwan.
“It’s okay. Joo-hwan-ah, go quickly.”
“Yes. Seonha noona, see you next time. Seong-geun hyung, I’ll go first.”
Seo Ju-hwan came out the door.
Min Seon-ha, who was looking at the closed door, said.
“Is that ok? Among writers, there are many cases where you can’t do anything without writing.”
Min Seon-ha also wrote the screenplay himself. So she was even more worried.
Lee Chae-hee chugged her beer, she said.
“Goodness, you have too many thoughts, so it’s a problem. Other people may not know, but Joo-hwan doesn’t have to worry about him.”
Min Seon-ha looked at Lee Chae-hee with very unexpected eyes.
“Your rating is so good? Don’t you hate that type?”
“What?”
“You hate geniuses.”
“What did you say.”
Lee Chae-hee smiled.
“Then I must have hated you. It’s not that I hate geniuses; And Joo-hwan is… If you have to ask, it’s hard work.”
At that, Min Seon-ha laughed in vain as if it were absurd.
“Are you kidding? A kid who acts like that in a week is a hard worker? Did you say “Talented” Wrong?”
“Exactly, both. And if you have to ask, you said.”
Having said that, Lee Chae-hee recalled the past week. She directed Seo Ju-hwan’s acting. Because of her, she stayed attached for more than half of the day.
Half, 12 hours. It’s Seo Joo-hwan’s training time. Even that was the minimum amount of time.
‘Actually, if it’s a huge amount, it’s not.’
The arts and sports world in Korea is much fiercer than most people think. When it comes to hard work, 10 hours is standard, and a day or two is not unusual.
But that is the time that includes all of my life in the practice room.
On the other hand, how was Seo Joo-hwan over the past week?
‘Does the average amount of pure training amount to about 10 hours?’
For Seo Joo-hwan’s 12 hours, all of the time except for the time to eat and rest was made up of training. Considering human concentration, it was physically impossible.
The blood drained from Lee Chae-hee’s face as she recalled that time. Seo Joo-hwan’s insane amount of pure training and concentration was at a level that even she, who risked her life for her acting her, could not follow. She almost seemed unsightly at first from a leadership position.
‘Is that kind of person interfering with my schedule?’
Lee Chae-hee shook her head and said firmly.
“Joo-hwan is a kid who knows how to do well. So don’t worry unnecessarily.”
“Ah Okay.”
Min Seon-ha nodded her head with a puzzled face.
Lee Chae-hee didn’t even care about her and said it as if he had promised himself.
“Rather, I… You have to work hard.”
Lee Chae-hee’s eyes boiled with strange heat. While she was training with Seo Joo-hwan, her mannerisms were somewhat of a vassal. With this film, she had a strong feeling that she might be able to get a clue to moving forward.
