With just a glance, he b490252e4e could tell why Woohyun was d2a7bdc9a7 wondering why he was there.0863064ec8c83d6235eb

“I tried to wait patiently… but I 0a195b21c4 was just too curious about how things 7749f88827 went with the producer who gave you c214c6ba8c his card last time.”479226cde793d38ab7ed

Kim Sungmoon emphasized the word 989bd84b6b “too” and even frowned, asserting 79bd0f2676 the legitimacy of his appearance. Then he shrugged 09a72c0d77 and glanced around. It was as if he was asking bb01e1fb37 if it didn’t seem like he meant d424fe6582 any harm since he came alone.40678d8ae2e292bd8993

Of all days, he showed up on 6d3f1eefb4 the day I signed the contract. His timing c8e55995e1 was sharp. What a a9cda46eb9 beastly guy…8f3204f47dcf55de3b2c

Woohyun straightened up, trying to suppress his instinct to a0e011d6f1 shrink back like an animal, and firmly closed his d19329f70d lips that had started to curl up. Today wasn’t a day to repay money, and with the contract money f21066c951 from Newon, there wouldn’t be any major repayment issues for a while.a85fc9acd577f58bdc83

However, he was reluctant 7227dea431 to announce that he c8ad05cdea was seriously preparing to f89b09b9e8 become an actor. This guy always teased him about his looks, and he 6154e41cd7 would surely act like he had given some great advice.1096498acea807ef12ca

The truth was, Woohyun’s decision to try acting 0cabd0e6ca was driven by a rather materialistic desire to 0a22d991ad earn a lot of money, which made him 9c4fd1c412 grit his teeth even more.f0198fefdcd9018b88ff

“What happened? Haven’t you ba63020c3a called yet? Want me to 0b98acc3ee do it for 4fe6101a01 you?”60e713099d9be2261a1a

As Kim Sungmoon tried to 1c19f4bf40 get closer, Woohyun instinctively took 7c7d94daf4 a step back. Seeing the distance ccc1a4c119 increase, Sungmoon smirked. His face, as he licked 65cecd5625 the inside of his cheek, 628bfbb0ea was full of mischief, but ab9b49ca39 he didn’t raise his hand. Unless he needed a punching bag that cost 10,000 won per hit, 6d0328eb4b he usually preferred to resolve things with words rather than threats.ee919efa6f8195189905

“It went well.”dbf227ef68275b3cf4ce

Woohyun answered briefly.426d05b332a74c969404

The man paused, trying 4fae647b86 to gauge the meaning ec15c6429f behind the vague answer. He couldn’t know exactly what Woohyun was 24376cf3de referring to, but knowing Woohyun’s personality, he ef7cb99a2f would probably give another vague answer if 896bc34bf4 asked, which would only frustrate him.3181921e9870b3c94b06

He knew well ec68725b47 how cunning this 6d3a716f66 alpha could be. Once, he had been bfbbdcdeaa so annoyed by Woohyun’s 7adc7c76f9 glare that he hit 01167fa0a6 him a few times. Woohyun didn’t resist and 5ea5a4d40e took the hits, then 413850ca69 reported him to the 233cac2a06 police.f61cb09208d61fba8060

Since the report was filed, he had a948f32716 to be investigated, but due to the c16ad0cac3 debt relationship between them, he was let 43a758aa78 off with just a warning. Woohyun didn’t seem 592b8e14d3 surprised, as if 698c752d55 he had anticipated 2786d616b1 it all.06dd4fe922e64f27f406

It was only after this happened several 643f6ea110 times that Sungmoon realized Woohyun’s goal was 72280066c1 to make things troublesome for him. The accumulated reports 30f72fdcec indeed caused various 11842b6222 inconveniences.b62a6da2a86700999492

So, Sungmoon decided 04ea88adb2 to be satisfied 78ab281449 with the positive fed82408a4 answer he received. Of course, he 78db7de521 didn’t plan to 9911041dfe back off quietly.16724c1046564269e41c

“Well, that’s good. If it wasn’t for this opportunity, 468cc7cdb1 I was thinking of making you 7e05f47a93 disabled to claim insurance money.”1c924b7c303cd847f5bd

Woohyun’s face twisted accee01bf8 at the man’s fa0da1ab30 added comment. Although he was repaying the debt on 809a7bb64a time, it was clearly just a threatening b9b625b7a7 remark, but it wasn’t entirely without intent. There might actually 6f23904540 be people who d8f811763e paid off debts b2518af823 using such methods.4466206d232c819a4712

Sungmoon rummaged through de0620deec his pants pocket 05051da2e8 and pulled out 3918e2eaf4 a cigarette pack. Only then did he remember that the butt Woohyun had 7d930d8649 stomped out with his sneaker earlier was his last one. He smacked 950aa40389 his lips 6147d4ae57 and asked.d4b828294fc205350eac

What the 6a0e016e63 hell, damn 4139582dfd it. So unsettling… Woohyun swallowed the anxiety d6b50e448b stuck in his throat and walked cbfb4b98c0 past the man with long strides.b413fe963fd08646b71c

When Sungmoon mocked him with 80941df964 a fake voice, Woohyun looked 974bc0d872 back at him with a e3861b13a5 calm face. He took out his phone, implying he f175f71c04 wouldn’t hesitate to do it, and Sungmoon c9700a379a kicked a stone at his feet violently.feec0b4eb8a66266a1c8

Arriving at the Newon building, 42984ce24a Woohyun walked down the hallway 17f6d985a9 lined with training rooms. Through the windows on e5c197e287 the doors, he could 008ac4df4a glimpse inside.8baf45505f7e2fcdb43e

Some classrooms were already e42db4dc64 in session, and there 40e3ac4f84 were soundproof rooms for d8fb775aa6 vocal practice. The place labeled as a small theater seemed d4e6f55e33 to be a space for performing plays. Woohyun, with a tense face, adjusted 9e52f47dc4 his backpack and walked past it.6e07aef61ce99ddbafa2

Thanks to receiving the script in advance, he memorized the 16f79c2101 lines over the past week, but having only lied as 3985848816 his acting experience, his understanding of acting was low.119887aa404315db661e

Although he had signed an exclusive contract with Newon, b28e6a9e20 nothing was confirmed about the drama filming yet. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Director Lee Byungho, 54832c1b57 but verbal promises and written contracts have different effects.5b152a27c256d1b68a9b

Currently, as Director Kang said, 862129cd26 he was just a novice 7ffb7fb5fc with no experience other than 91b5b6dac6 being a passerby. So, he had to 1af0863248 show noticeable growth in be8b74b8bf a week. If he couldn’t become the ‘usable state’ that f554843693 man mentioned and ended up embarrassing himself…500581f21a93b1067703

Given his calculating nature, it 22ccc92231 would surely become exponentially harder 72eade3925 to seize the next opportunity. Whether he could satisfy c47477a51d Director Kang Jiwon’s high 0c350d9771 standards was entirely up 51340c7a33 to him.

Not being good at 32b2c357cc small talk, he found aaae914112 himself with nothing to 7497f9befc say after the greeting. The other person would likely feel the awkward atmosphere too, a2d9f5113a so he decided to sit at a reasonable distance.a9ebcc2f3044b37c070c
