Joon-won laughed at hearing Min-Seok and replied, "Leave her alone for now, dad. She knows what she is doing, so let her have her fun. Also, tell her to not study even during the holidays. After she joins a university, she would have absolutely no time to do anything else except study. So tell her to take a break, she can learn afterward. I am fine, too. I came back to the town this morning and am going back to my hotel after meeting with the director a bit.. I\'m going to stay here until next Saturday to shoot some more scenes I got. I\'ll go back to Arios on Saturday morning."
[You are staying until next Saturday? It\'s ok if you have more scenes to shoot. I\'m happy for you Joon-won, you are able to finally make some money on your own.]
"Dad, this is only one small role in my first movie. I still didn\'t get some good roles to earn enough money to feel comfortable. Once, ask Yun-hee when she would get a reply from the University she is applying to. We need to make preparations to join her there."
[Alright one second.] And Joon-won could hear the old man moving before hearing him knock.
[Yun-hee, Joon-won is asking how long it will take you to get a reply from the University. We still have to prepare. Do you have any idea when?]
[Probably next Wednesday. It\'s a big university and they will get many applications. So it\'ll take some time. We can expect it by Wednesday.]
[Alright then, also he told me to tell you to not study even during holidays. Go out and enjoy a bit.]
Joon-won could hear both of them and it didn\'t take long for Min-Seok to come back to the living room as he said to him.
[Well, Joon-won, you heard her. She says next Wednesday. If she gets accepted and because she says it\'s a big university, it\'s also likely to be outside the town. I\'ll apply for leave and take her there on the weekend.]
"Alright then, dad. Take some rest. Also, I\'ll send you some money now. Take that girl to a good restaurant and have a good dinner. She deserves it." And immediately cut the call before Min-Seok could even reply.
He didn\'t want to hear Min-Seok denying the money. Min-Seok\'s salary was ok, but it was the end of the month and as a family who could manage ends meet by a close margin every month, he wouldn\'t have much left. So Joon-won decided to transfer 20K to him. That was more than enough for a good lavish dinner, even in Arios. The rest would be just for Min-Seok to have. Joon-won wanted to give more, but he needed the money to pay for Yun-hee\'s tuition, as studying a commerce course such as Business Management was pretty costly. So he needed to save a bit more. He quickly transferred the money before sending a message to Min-Seok to spend the money to give Yun-hee a nice party instead of saving it.
As he was in his thoughts, the car stopped, and they arrived at the hotel. Joon-won paid the man and just went inside. He quickly made his way to the room and got a bit freshened up. After feeling ready, he took out the new script and started preparing for it. He wanted to get it done by night, no matter how long into the night he had to go.
The time passed as he continued to practice the interrogation scene again and again. There weren\'t many dialogues, but he had to control his emotions a little. He had to show nervousness and be scared at the same time during the entire scene. He would also break down in the scene after the hero presses him with a few criminal charges he had in the past, threatening him that he would go to jail. So overall it was a good scene, and he liked it.
It was almost 10 by the time he felt satisfied with his performance and decided to stop for a while before revising it again after dinner, as his stomach was already screaming for some food.
Joon-won walked to the entrance of the hotel and decided to go to a nearby restaurant for a light dinner. He reached the same small restaurant he ate at on Monday night. Just like last time, it was full and so he had to ask a group of old middle-aged men if he could share it with them. Luckily, they agreed and so he took a seat.
After having some small talk with the men at the table, he just ate his food and left after paying for it. Joon-won practiced for another hour before going to sleep.
The next day, he woke up quickly at 7 and practiced another time before he decided to get ready. This time he will get a costume when he goes there.
Hea-Jung sent him a message to be ready by 9 and that it\'s better for them to be there early. He agreed and went down to eat at 8:30. He ate the hotel\'s breakfast and waited at the front for the car to arrive.
He got in the car. Once he did, they drove towards the reception hall turned police station set in silence. Hea-Jung was just looking at her phone while Joon-won was listening to some music.
After reaching the place they entered, Hea-Jung said, "Let\'s get ready quickly before the other actors get here. The last thing two new actors need to do is delay the shooting. That\'s why I asked you to get ready quicker." Joon-won nodded and both of them made their way to the dressing room to receive their costumes and get changed.
