Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 14

As both of them stood up, Joon-won looked at her and asked, "So, at which part should we start? I assume you only need to practice only certain parts of the interaction and not all of them." he wanted to help her, so asking this was important.
She looked at him in surprise. She didn't think he would ask her this question as what he said was true. She got most of the common interactions between the two characters down. She only needed help in the more emotional parts of the story.
Seeing the confidence in his voice and the calm look on his face, she couldn't help but reply, "I mainly need help in the more emotional sections of the story. It will be fine if you read out the dialogue normally and not put much effort if it's tough." she hurriedly tried to explain after snapping back. She was so concerned that she was forcing him that she did not even know that what she just said came out a bit rude.
Joon-won didn't mind her words and simply turned around a few pages before stopping on a page that had many dialogues between the heroine and the character Jung-hwa was playing.
"Alright then, let's start at this scene. It's the scene where you find out that the heroine is dating the hero and you want to advise her out of it. It carries a good emotion of concern you show on your friend, so let's just start here."
Cheo Jung-hwa just followed his words and turned the pages. She was simply following his words at this point, surprised by the level of confidence he carried. She looked at the dialogues for a second before looking up at him and giving a nod.
"Why did you call me to the back of the school, Jung-hwa? Don't tell me you are proposing?" The dialogues smoothly came out of Joon-won as he played the heroine role while slowly reading out the dialogues in a teasing manner.

The quick change in Joon-won's language and behavior caught Jung-hwa completely off guard. She never expected the sudden change and could not reply. She simply stared wide-eyed at him. She did not snap back until Joon-won shook her a little.
She looked at him and stuttered, "What was that Joon-won? You suddenly turned into a playboy with that teasing voice. I couldn't even react."
Seeing the girl's shocked face, he smiled and replied, "I was acting out the role you told me to. If I don't act out the role as closely as possible, how will you be able to improve? Now come on, we are wasting precious time by simply talking. I will read out the dialogue in the same manner once again, so you better react properly this time." making her nod absent-mindedly.
Joon-won just took another deep breath and started with his dialogue once again, "Why did you call me to the back of the school, Jung-hwa? Don't tell me you are proposing?" in the same teasing manner as before.
Already seen and taken back once, Jung-hwa held herself before replying in a serious tone, "Don't joke around. You probably know I figured it out, but let me be straightforward. I know you are dating Hyeong Myung. I am telling you, it's a terrible idea to do that at this time. Do these when you get into University, when it's freer. Now isn't a good time, spend more time on your studies and get into that university you always talk about."
As soon as she completed her dialogue, Joon-won's flirty expression immediately changed into a serious one too, and he replied as he saw the script, "So you know about it. I didn't want anyone to know about it, even if it's my best friend. Just try to stay out of this topic Jung-hwa, I'm not a kid anymore. I can handle my studies while still dating him. So don't overly concern yourself about it." Sounding very detached as Joon-won properly got into the heroine role.

The sudden change in his voice and behavior caught Jung-hwa off-guard once again. The girl couldn't take in what was happening to her friend, who she always helped to practice his lines and expression and suddenly seemed like a professional.
But she quickly snapped out of it to see Joon-won with a blank face waiting for her, making her face go slightly red. She coughed and continued, "Don't be like this. Why are you so stubborn? I'm telling this for your own good. Listen to me this one time. If that guy really likes you then he will wait till high school is over. If anyone gets to know about this relationship you guys are having, things can get really messy. You know how our school looks at these types of things." With a complete concern written all over her face as she took a step forward.
Her acting slightly surprised Joon-won, he added a few points in his mind and continued with a relaxed expression, "Oh, Jung-hwa. You're always too concerned about so many things. Don't be so pessimistic about things. Have confidence in me, I know I can study well and get into that university even while dating him. Now about the school knowing? I don't think anyone knows about this except you. So everything will be perfectly fine if you just don't talk about it and do things like this."
"But-"
"No buts, this is final. If you really are my friend, you will support me in this journey instead of going against it like you are now. Now if this conversation is over, let's go back to the class, lunch break is almost over too." He cut off and said in a slightly commanding tone before turning around.
Jung-hwa stood there as the scene was finally over, not understanding how good Joon-won was suddenly when she snapped out of her role.

The Painter: A fantasy psych thriller and epic
*** June 21th Update ***- New chapters are being posted! I haven't figured out a schedule yet, but stay tuned!- Thank you to everyone who has read and reviewed, I'm happy to say The Painter is in the top 200 best-rated fictions. - Readers of The Painter have suggested reading through Chapter 6 before making a decision on this book.- The story takes place in the Lootverse, but you don't need a canonical understanding to appreciate the storyFinally, a warning or reader beware: This is not an action novel (despite the coming fight scene) but a slow-burn psychological thriller of sorts. For a time, the Painter's life was simple. He lived in the small town of Kinon (called Kinney by locals) with his wife, Kahriah and his son, Thesdon. The story begins with him alone and unable to travel more than a few hundred miles from his home. For 5 years he tried to chart his prison until one day a letter appears with a mysterious commission that will see him test his condition and his boundary. Set roughly 50 years before the impending end of days (from Loot canon), The Painter is a story about loss, grit, and exploration of a seemingly normal man in a world of magic and monsters. The Painter will follow the man on his adventure to restore his family, uncover his commissioners and discover the nature of his condition. Loot is the decentralized, global, community built fantasy world based on Dom Hoffman's art/tech experiment: Loot. Fun fact: The cover of our book is painted by the artist, who the MC is loosely based on and the same person painting the Banners (digitally) IRL for an art/worldbuilding project.
