NB Chapter 9

Jiwon elaborated on his point.
“What I mean is that the capabilities one can demonstrate depend on how specifically and understandably the person giving directions explains things. In short, it’s like a blank check.”

“Ah…”
“It was good that your gaze was firm. The fact that someone who was just an ordinary person until yesterday isn’t scared in front of the camera is also a skill.”

The corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. Woohyun bit his lips tightly to suppress a smile. Meanwhile, Jiwon placed his glass down on the table with a clink and crossed his arms in front of his chest. His expression was somewhat cold, unlike before.
“One of the chronic issues actors face is that if they develop bad acting habits, they tend to get stuck in them. However, Seo Woohyun is someone who moves as soon as the manual is inputted, so there’s no chance of becoming complacent. This isn’t a compliment. It means that in cases of insufficient directing, you could end up being a dumb can.”

“……”
“I’m trying to emphasize how important your own effort is. First, you need to be able to digest your character as your own so that you can naturally match with your counterpart.”

He had received similar feedback from the director, but it had been more of a nuance that it would be much better once refined; he had never heard the term “dumb can.” What would have happened if he hadn’t asked? He hadn’t expected to be evaluated to this extent.
He should consider this advice as something that would be beneficial for his future acting career, but Woohyun’s mouth moved as if it had a will of its own.

“Have you ever acted, Director? You speak so well.”
“Of course not. It’s common for someone who is well-versed in theory to be weak in practice.”

“Ah, like in dating?”
Even after being given a pass for his sarcasm once, it rose again. Jiwon’s perfectly shaped eyebrows twitched slightly but soon returned to a smile.

“Have you ever dated?”
“I haven’t. The name Deokbae sounds too cheesy.”

It seemed that the focus was shifting to Woohyun, but he too naturally avoided it. Jiwon took a sip of wine, as if he had no intention of probing further.
This time, Woohyun spoke first.

“Can I ask just one question?”
“I haven’t dated in the way others describe either.”

“No, not that. I’m not really curious about your dating experience, Director.”
“That’s quite unfortunate.”

The person who had just been giving serious feedback was nowhere to be found, and for some unknown reason, only a sulking person remained.
However, Woohyun didn’t mind and got to the point.

“How much does it cost to receive acting training? The director suggested that it would be good to take some classes before the script reading.”
It seemed to him like a foolish question. Jang Jiwon made a rather perplexed expression before bursting into a laugh.

“Why are you worried about money, Seo Woohyun? You’re already an actor guaranteed to appear by the production company. Do you not understand what that means? There’s no reason for the agency not to invest in you.”
“So, if I go to a different agency than Newon, I could still receive that kind of treatment?”

“If you want to make your debut work your retirement work, I won’t particularly stop you.”
He spoke quite harshly about signing an exclusive contract.

It was a moment when he felt anew that Kang Jiwon existed above the production company. Unsure whether it was a joke or serious, his smiling face looked even more chilling. He understood that there was nothing good about getting on this person’s bad side.
“By the way, I heard that my appearance fee comes from your pocket, Director.”

“Yes. Spend it lavishly.”
“Lavishly… You must know how much a rookie’s first project appearance fee is.”

He muttered under his breath, almost grumbling, as the amount he had heard from the director came to mind.
At that moment, Woohyun blinked. Under the pin spotlight, his black pupils glimmered for a moment, and Kang Jiwon stood up from his seat. The distance he thought was moderately far was closed in just two steps.

“Does that mean you want me to treat you specially?”
So close that his shoe almost dug into Jiwon’s white sneakers.

The man had a robust physique that clearly indicated he was an alpha, even from a distance. The sense of intimidation emanating from him was such that it couldn’t be hidden by clothing. Even though he had never heard anyone say he was short, Kang Jiwon’s eye level was quite higher than his.
Naturally tilting his neck back to look up at him, Woohyun held his breath for a moment. Unlike before, there was no hair to blur his vision, and he met Kang Jiwon’s gaze clearly. The greed evident in the downward gaze sent a slight chill down his spine.

Woohyun struggled to suppress the urge to cover his delicate skin with his hands and shook his head. It was true that he was in need of money, but it was just a small complaint, not a serious demand like sponsorship.
“I didn’t mean it that way.”

For a moment, he wondered if he had misheard, but Kang Jiwon quickly pulled back his body as he had approached. Even while retreating, he licked Woohyun’s neck line until the last moment, then smiled brightly.
Just before their chests were about to touch, Woohyun was certain that Kang Jiwon had inhaled deeply with his face lowered to his neck.

His development had been slow, and he naturally had faint pheromones, but Seo Woohyun was originally an alpha. Because of this, unless they were close in proximity, others rarely sensed Woohyun’s pheromones. He wasn’t even large and robust enough for someone to recognize his alpha traits at a glance, so there were times when even those of the same trait didn’t notice when he erased his pheromones and dressed as a beta.

As usual, Woohyun had never let his pheromones be obvious in tront of this man. Even now, the only scent in the air was the dominant smell or a mature man’s cologne, and his own pheromones were so faint that only he could barely sense them.
However, with such a diluted degree, there was a possibility that he would feel pleasantly rather than unpleasantly towards the pheromones of the same trait. According to a masochist he had heard from, the pheromones of the same trait felt the same as the pleasure of pain experienced during play.

Still, that wasn’t the case. They say you have to peel back the layers to know someone’s true nature, but Director Kang didn’t seem like someone who had a taste for that. His appearance, looking like a proper alpha, was enough to instill a prejudice that he would prefer a small, cute omega who would fit right into his arms. As he thought this far, a rather plausible speculation followed.
Could it be that he mistook me for an omega right now?

“Could you please speak more decently? If you talk like that here, it really feels like a sponsor’s entertainment.”
As Woohyun took a big step back, the distance between them widened again. Jiwon stared at the empty space for a moment before slowly turning his head to meet his eyes.

The sponsor Woohyun was referring to would be a nasty one that demands sexual favors. However, he had never engaged in such business, had never thought of it, and had lived a life where there was no need for it, so it was quite unfair for him to be regarded as the same kind of human as them.
But it wasn’t strange for the much younger Seouhyun to have such thoughts. Realizing that he had been mischievous out of curiosity, Jiwon nodded willingly.

He didn’t like the wholesome approach because it was boring… but well, if he wanted him to say that, it wasn’t something he couldn’t do. Seo Woohyun was young, and the main point wasn’t over yet.

“I hope Woohyun will sign an exclusive contract with our company.”
With his shoulders straightened and his body upright, Jiwon gently lifted the corners of his mouth along with those words. It was a seemingly social smile, but it also meant that it inspired trust.

“Whether you see me as a ladder or a rope, or even if you think of me as a capital, it doesn’t matter. I’m also curious about how high you can rise.”
Pausing for a moment, Jiwon noticed the round eyes that were focused on him, not even blinking.

They say a person’s eyes are windows that reflect their desires. Just like that saying, it was so clear what Woohyun wanted from him.
“I’ll show you how great you are.”
