Rebirth: King to Superstar

"Oh, it's a small movie, and I managed to snatch one of the major roles in it. The Leads are both only B-listed actors. My schedule will start in about 2 weeks and I might become busy for the next 3-4 months." Her tone was full of pride. She was really proud of this opportunity.

Joon-won's eyes went wide upon hearing her. He only knew her for a few days and from what he saw her so far, she wasn't the type to lie. So this must be true. She was really acting in a movie.

"How did you get the role?"

"Oh that. I participated in an open audition, I didn't tell anyone that I was doing it and just did it cause I was bored. But the director liked what he saw when I did the part and immediately hired me. I even signed the contract last week. This would be my debut in the industry. Be sure to watch the movie."

He nodded and went silent. It seemed like this girl really had talent even though she is completely aloof the entire time and has a very stubborn and irritating personality.

"So, until my shooting starts in 2 weeks, I am mostly free. That is why I'm hanging out with you. I'm not just some busybody you know." She huffed and explained to him. She was really bored in the morning and had no plans that got her excited. Then she remembered he will be going to the company and decided to tag along.

"Don't you have some other friends in your circle? I'm sure all of them will be doing something good, especially now that it's mostly holidays. And do you not have to practice for the role you got? You shouldn't waste time on your debut film." As he immediately went into a lecturing tone as his old age showed itself.

Hearing him, Hea-Jung couldn't take it and closed her ears before humming. After a few seconds, she looked at him and said, "Why are you nagging me like my dad? Sometimes you really act out of your age mentality. And what friends? Let me tell you every single 2nd generation child is an idiot. They only care about how they look in front of others. Too fake for my taste."

He shook his head and ignored her as he continued to do his work. Time quickly went by and it was already almost time for his shift to end. Hea-Jung really stayed there the whole time. Gim Da was shocked and almost passed out to see her sitting behind the counter when he came.

After the time was up, he quickly changed back into his regular clothes and walked out with Hea-Jung. He noticed the red car outside and Hea-Jung waved her hand, asking him to hop in. He agreed as he didn't even know where this company was. If she wasn't there, he would have to go around asking where it was, and that was a big task.

"Do you want to go and eat first or after we get that script?" As she turned on the car.

"Let's get the script first and we will talk about the food later." He wanted to get that script in his hands as quickly as possible.

"Alright then, hold on tight." She wore her sunglasses with a grin and stepped on the accelerator.

A red car zoomed through the city and didn't stop until it reached its destination. Joon-won looked at her with a weird look. Throughout the journey, they didn't encounter even one red traffic light. Both got down before the company's entrance and a person quickly came out after noticing the car.

Hea-Jung passed the keys to him to park and went inside with Joon-won. They went straight to the reception desk. Joon-won noticed the huge sign 'Glorious Production' behind the reception desk. The lobby room itself looked very fancy. Many people were sitting at the side, some with anxious expressions while others looked like they had all the confidence in the world.

"I came to meet Uncle Hwan. My name is Seo Hea-Jung. Is he in?" as she leaned over the desk, Hea-Jung asked the receptionist.

The receptionist took the landline on her desk and dialed a number before asking about Hea-Jung. Her expression changed a little during the call before she ended the call and looked at Hea-Jung, a bit nervously.

"Miss Seo, the president isn't available today. But his secretary is available and is coming down to receive you right now."

Hea-Jung nodded before leaning back and waiting for the secretary to come down. Joon-won looked at her and asked in a low voice, " Did you never come here?" after seeing how she introduced herself and how the receptionist didn't know who she was.

Hea-Jung shook her and replied, "Not really. I didn't have any work in this production company of Uncle Hwan. I go to the agency company more to play with a few actresses I know there." she shrugged. She didn't have any business here because she was still not an actor and if she was, she would probably come to talk business.

They only had to wait a few minutes before they saw a figure rushing out of the elevator towards them. The man was thin, looked young, but his hairline receded quite a lot and there were already a few gray hairs too. He looked exhausted but had a smile when he came up to Hea-Jung.

"Miss Seo, you should have called and I would have told the president you were coming today. Is there anything I could do for you?"

"Yes, I forgot to call uncle Hwan before coming. Well, it's alright even if he wasn't here. This is Joon-won. Yesterday my uncle told him to come and take a script for an audition. Do you have it by any chance?"
