BXBX NOVEL Chapter 25 - Full Practice
Joon-won stood in front of the classroom door and opened it. He had to go inside as there was no practice with Jung-hwa from that day. He noticed there were more students compared to before and that most of the people had their scripts in their hands.
He walked inside and closed the door behind. He also noticed that the practice was already going on and could see Hyeong Myung acting with another girl. She was the female lead for the film and it was the first time he saw her.
The girl wore make-up and her acting was also very bad. Not only her, but even Hyeong Myung himself also wasn\'t that great from what he could see. They were worse than even Jung-hwa. He walked towards his seat at the end of his class and saw Roh Ji talking big with the other students and ordering people around.
He recognized at which part the practice was at and it was only through the halfway point. After the whole morning, the group could only get to the halfway point of a 2-hour drama. They had no proper planning. As he sat in his seat, he looked around for Jung-hwa and found her in her seat reading the script and going through her lines.
Joon-won didn\'t have anything to do and just sat there looking out the window. He knew by the time was over his role wouldn\'t even come up with the speed the practice was currently going in.
Not knowing what to do, he took out his phone and searched up about investing after remembering about it. He was very interested in the topic even though he was poor, learning new things was never a bad thing. He started to slowly learn about it as time went on.
After a while, he looked up to see Jung-hwa doing a scene with the female lead. He could see her acting and knew she was not in sync with the lead. He could also hear Roh Ji\'s furious words telling her she was no good and the girl couldn\'t even say anything.
Joon-won knew the reason for her sudden decrease in ability to act. It was because the people she was acting with weren\'t up to her standard, and she got used to acting with him who was way better than the others. Now faced with bad acting, she was thrown off guard, making it hard for her to show her skills.
Roh Ji decided to do the next scene, and everyone moved to get ready. Jung-hwa went back to her seat and held her head. Joon-won opened the messaging app and sent her a text message to look back. Jung-hwa didn\'t react to her phone\'s vibration immediately and looked up after a few minutes.
She reached out for her phone and turned around after seeing the message. Joon-won simply waved his hand and pointed at the seat beside him, gesturing for her to come over. She nodded, took her script, and walked to the back of the class.
"When did you come? How was the shift today?" She bombarded him with questions like always and sat beside him.
"I came here long ago, you didn\'t notice cause you were too engrossed, and the shift was alright. So, I didn\'t ask you to cover over for a chat. It seems like you are getting scolded by an idiot." He looked ahead at Roh Ji as she was giving out orders.
"Ugh, don\'t mention it. I feel so nauseated looking at her angry face. Looks like it\'s not my day today. I can\'t follow the flow and am constantly getting disrupted." She shook her head.
"Well, you were out of flow, but it wasn\'t really anyone\'s mistake." He hummed and said.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean what I said. It isn\'t anyone\'s mistake that you are doing bad. If there has to be a reason, it would be that girl\'s bad acting."
"How?"
"You got too used to my acting that you aren\'t able to adjust to someone else\'s. You got used to my way of acting and speed that you aren\'t able to read the flow of her\'s." He pointed out the reason.
"This generally happens when an actor is starting out. Everyone has a different style and pace of acting, and you need to constantly adjust yourself. Take a deep breath and try to remove how my acting was and you should be able to do it."
Jung-hwa nodded, and before she could continue the discussion, she was called down for her next scene. She stood up and walked down.
Her next scene was with a random student and she did as Joon-won suggested. Closed her eyes and removed Joon-won\'s acting before opening them up again. This time she didn\'t cause any problems and Roh Ji\'s face was a bit red as she had no reason to shout at her again.
The rest of the practice went smoothly and at the end of the day, as he expected, his role was still far off as after a while the students slowly lost their previous drive and started to idle around the class not practicing. It looked like his role wouldn\'t come up until the next day afternoon.
Joon-won walked back to the apartment with a few groceries he picked up from the shop he worked at and even greeted high schooler Seonu Hwan, who was at his shift. After exchanging a few words, he continued on.
Reaching home, he stored all the groceries he brought into the fridge and cooked a healthy meal. He didn\'t feel good eating the junk from the supermarket every day. Having dinner he slept early like always.
