When Leo arrived to the room where he will be using, he peeked at the door and found Sungrok sitting on the soffa, clutching his stomach whiel whinning. "I'm hungry. So hungry...hold on tummy. Just frw more minutes." he told himself. Leo wasn't able to held back his laughter as he find his hyung funny. It caught the man's attention and immediately stood up when he came in. "O-oh! Y-you're here. How long? I didn't notice you."

Leo sat beside him and put hus bag beside him. "You are so ridiculous, hyung. Why didn't you just started eating if you are hungry? Sungrok sheepishly smiled at him while scratching the back of his head.

"Of course, I asked you to join me. I should be polite and wait for you. You took so long tho." he replied with slight pout which don't really look good on him.

"Something happened on the road and it took few minutes to let us pass. I'm sorry. Let's eat then." The man nodded then they started eating, talking about the play they are going to do.

"I want to talk to Mr. Song." Leo said.

"You want to say something?" Leo nodded. "What is it? You looked bothered. Is something wrong?" Leo is thinking deeply and looking down on the tiled floor. He immediately looked up the taller man who is sitting beside him and it startled the staring man.

"Say, hyung."

"Ah n-ne?"

"Did it happen that an actor was allowed to shift characters that they're portraying?" Shinrok raised a brow in confussion.

"Huh? Why?"

"Answer me first." Leo commanded.

"Ahm...it happened before that someone requested somethig like that but it's not possible. Once you signed the contract then that's it. You need to do your part until the project is over. Also why would do such thung when you even auditioned for the role? Wait. You want to do it?"

With sad face, Leo nodded. He sighed looked at Sungrok. "I don't think I can play the lead role again this time." Sungrok's eyes widen as Leo surprised him. He gave him a disapproving look.

"Are you kidding me?" Leo looked down, ashamed that he is disappointing his hyung. "What is happening to Leo that I know? You are always positive when doing this. What is going on with you?" Leo still didn't meet his worried gaze. He lifted his jaw to look up at him. Once he met that of Leo's eyes, his heart shattered more. He looks really in distress.

"Hey. Look at me. What is wrong. Let me hear it." Leo seems to be a mute for few seconds but when his soft voice come out of his vocal chord, it made actor releaved.

"I just thought my best won't be enough for this. I'm unlike any other stage actors who have powerful voice and can sing effortlessly." Sungrok stayed quiet to innitiate the younger that he can tell him more of how he feels. "There are others who can do nicely without practicing too much and are....really good looking to meet the standards to be expected for a lead role. I realized I wasn't really on that criteria. It just that I was alwats choosen for lead rokes from my past musicals. I don't want to make any more dissapointing performance again. I think I can do better with supporting roles-"

Sungrok hild him on his shoulders in a surprising way. He do it with his fingers hilding him tight. He stared him in the eyes, worry evident in his eyes. Leo was surprised as he had never seen this kind of gesture from the older.

"Hey. Don't thunk like that. You've said it. There are standards to be chosen as a perfect actor to play the lead role and you won't be chosen for if it's not because you are best suited for it. You are very talented and about your looks...." Leo felt a little insult at the pause but was surprised again.
