Quiet on Set (Jenlisa)

5

THIRD PERSON POV

"Jennie Kim, role call for Ms Kim" Someone announced.

All the reasons not to do this came flooding in, as if her body chemistry just sent them a blanket invitation. Jennie felt the soft panic that could grow or fade depending on what she did next.

"That's me." Jennie raised her hand at the person calling her name.

The cat like eyed Korean made her way towards the brown door with a black and gold star on it, her nerves weren't taking over her. That pep talk from Jisoo unnie was enough to keep her sane, sure it was her first time doing something like this but she's trained enough to contain herself.

Jennie took a deep breath in, allowing that icy cold breath to fill her lungs before walking into the room.

Her eyes immediately landed on Ms Yoo Soon-rye and another person sitting beside Ms Yoo in front of a brown table filled with paperwork and bottled water.

The room was wide enough, almost bigger than her apartment combined. Jennie's eyes glanced around and noticed the walls were all green. Perhaps it was a green screen room.

Plants were placed on each end of the room, all four corners were gathered by green leaves. Behind Ms Yoo a man stood a video camera placed on a tripod. A short woman stood behind it with a notepad, Jennie assumed it was their assistant for the day. She walked to the front of the room where a black stool was placed.

"Hi! I'm Jennie Kim and I will be auditioning for the part of Jane." She smiled.

The person sitting beside Ms Yoo raises a brow, "Ah, so you'll be auditioning for the other female lead role."

Jennie nods.

Ms Yoo grabbed a pen and started to write down the information, she tried to remain as professional as possible but she couldn't help but give Jennie a small thumbs up when her Co worker wasn't looking.

"We've provided a script" The person sitting beside Ms Yoo said as he motioned to the assistant approaching Jennie with a few papers in her hands.

"Thank you" Jennie smiled before her eyes glanced to the words.

"Start from paragraph 3 and finish at 5." Ms Yoo smiled warmly.

Jennie nodded and gripped the paper in her hands, her eyes ran through the words, quickly memorizing it. It was something she learnt to do by a teacher back in drama class, something to impress sculters.

"You are my sunshine and so it is always lighting my world, there is the sweet velvety night, there is even inky and perfect black" Jennie said with a bright smile while reading the script.

"But your friendship is a light to me that somehow grows inside my soul and shines through my own eyes. That is what a bestfriend can do, one who loves you." She said in a more deeper voice while dropping the script.

"In the push and pull between the primitive drive and higher-order social mind, I resent and then love you, my friend. I am well schooled in what love is, what love is not." Jennie's voice went even deeper, tears filled the rim of her eyes. Not reading the script anymore as she suddenly memorized the lines.

Ms Yoo glanced at her Co worker who paid all his attention to Jennie, he even look off his glasses and furrowed his brows looking at the brunette.

"When the primitive drive takes the wheel it's hard to fight it, to stay what a friend should be. If I wait for the panic to subside, to feel the sadness that lives beneath my anger, to let the fear be acknowledged... then I'm in control." She said, her voice starting to crack as the salty release finally fell from her eyes.
