IF YOU'RE HANDSOME LIFE IS EASIER

058

“What was Han Tae-geon’s KakaoTalk message about yesterday?”

As soon as I saw the reply confirming that he understood.

I had asked the exact meaning of that “understand” many times over.

But the response was still,

“> I understand, I understand perfectly, Dong-ho.”

It was just the word “understand.”

Honestly, I had some sense of the situation, so I roughly knew what he meant.

“Is he saying he’s going to audition?”

But no matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t make sense.

Why would a top-tier actor with the title of national superstar and a lead in a billion-dollar film come to audition for a kids’ play?

It was more reasonable to think he would just be coming to watch the play.

But…

“It feels fishy.”

I couldn’t shake the feeling that he wasn’t just coming to watch.

But still, I had no choice but to carry on with the audition.

As soon as my classes were over, I called Bong Jinwoo.

“Yes, yes, Dong-ho. I’m right in front of you.”

Awkward.

As soon as I made the call, Jinwoo suddenly popped up in front of me, and I scratched my cheek awkwardly.

“Uh, I was going to head to the theater club for the audition.”

“If you’re talking about Sparking… I’m done with that. No need to be there anymore.”

“Huh?”

“No need to be surprised. Just… We need to get serious; I don’t have time to deal with children’s playtime.”

We absolutely have to succeed with the story of the stars and the moon; that’s what we need to focus on.

Jinwoo spoke so earnestly, without a hint of hesitation.

“And I’ve posted the audition announcement online separately.”

“Oh, really? No need to prepare together?”

“Yeah, it feels a bit weird getting help all the way to that point. We’ve already received a lot of investment….”

Did he say they received a lot of investment?

I had the urge to ask the exact amount but suppressed it.

At what point does someone say they’ve received a lot of money?

“No, how much did they spend on the kids’ performance in the first place?”

Suddenly, Seok-ho’s remark about his entire fortune nagged at my mind.

There’s no way they actually invested that much, right?

Did they think they were going to recoup that?

“I know my level, but…”

Are they just going to trust me and invest blindly?

“Is this the heart of a beast that follows in my father’s footsteps?”

As those thoughts crossed my mind.

“By the way, do you know when the audition will be?”

“Uh, the… we won’t need a lot of characters, so I’m thinking we can wait until the week after next or so to hold it.”
“Three weeks from now? I think I’ll wait until then to see it.”
