Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 16

By the time both of them stopped again, it was already 5 in the evening and the sun was setting. Deciding to just end it for the day, both of them packed their bags and got out of the room. Jung-hwa quickly locked the door and turned towards Joon-won.
"Thank you a lot Joon-won for your work today. It was really helpful, and I understood the situation better than before. But I'm sorry that a session to help you turned into a session to help me. It's kinda embarrassing now that I think about it. Your acting skills are way better than mine. You never needed any help." as she scratched the back of her head with an awkward smile.
"No, it's ok, my role is relatively very small and easy to act compared to your role. I only have mostly one emotion throughout my entire role while you have many to learn and act. So it's ok to not train my role and don't undermine your acting skills either. You are relatively better than most of the people in our class. So just have a bit of confidence when you act and you'll do better." He smiled at the awkward girl in front of him.
"Ok, well then, I will see you tomorrow morning, we can practice the whole day tomorrow, and then from the day after tomorrow, it's the full-length practice with everyone in it. So let's try and squeeze the most out of it tomorrow. I need to go and drop these keys in the staff room too. So bye." Jiggling the keys in her hand, she turned around.
But as she turned around, Joon-won stopped her once again and asked, "Wait Jung-hwa, do you know where the university library is at? I need to go there once." He wanted to do some research about this new world and a library is the best place he could learn about it.

"The Library? Why would you want to go there?" she paused and asked in a completely puzzled expression. Art students almost never go to places like the library as it's almost unnecessary, and it is more true for people in the acting course. Seeing Joon-won ask her about the library confused her.
"I need to look upon something and the library is a good place to start. So can you tell me the way?"
"Isn't searching on a phone a better way to look up the things you want to know. It will take you longer to search in the library."
At this point, even though he has a good impression of Jung-hwa, he was getting irritated. But he can't lash out at the young girl and simply sighed before asking once again, "Jung-hwa, I like to look up books rather than using the phone. So tell me the way."
Jung-hwa finally understood what she was doing and started explaining the route to the library. But as she did, due to the massive campus, Joon-won got more confused. Jung-hwa finally sighed and said, "Wait, I'll show you the way after I drop these at the staff room." Joon-won just nodded and followed her.
After she dropped them off at the staff room, she led Joon-won out of their block and made their way towards the library. The library supposedly had a building of its own with a few study rooms in them for students of normal courses. There was complete silence as both of them did not speak a single word as Joon-won looked around the university taking everything he missed in his previous life and Jung-hwa simply didn't know what to speak about, hence causing the super silent scene.
"Ah, here we are. This building is the library every student of the university can use. You just need your ID card to get in. Alright, then hope you find what you are looking up. Bye." she stopped in front of a building and turned around.

"Alright, thanks for showing me the way. Have a good day." and walked inside, while Jung-hwa walked towards her dorms.
Just like Jung-hwa said, as soon as he entered, a middle-aged lady behind the counter asked for his ID card. Taking it out from his bag, she showed her his card while looking around to see rows and rows of bookshelves filled with books. It surprised the woman on the other hand when she saw Joon-won's major before getting slightly suspicious of the ID card.
"Can I ask why a student from the Arts major, and that too from the acting course, would come to the library?" twirling the ID card in her hand.
Joon-won sensed her suspicion and couldn't help but think, 'Does it surprise everyone in this big university if anyone from the art major searches for the library?'
"I wanted to look up a few books on world history. You know the general knowledge. It's for the year-end exam which is this weekend." Lied at the end.
She squinted her eyes a little before turning to the computer and searching up his ID-card number in the register. After finding his information, she relaxed a little and opened a book.
"Alright, write your details here and sign at the incoming column." handing the book and his ID card to him.
He sighed in relief seeing how quickly it was done and wrote down his details before signing. Passing the book back to her, he asked, "Can I know where I can find books on World History?"
"Take a left and then go to the end, that is the history section. If you want books on world history, then it should be row number one there." waving her hands, she told him.
He nodded and made way, before finally seeing a wood which said 'History Section' hanging on the wall at the end. He saw rows of books and went to row one. He reached out for the nearest book and noticed it was a book on general knowledge of world history for beginners like him after flipping through a few pages.
