The next day went smoothly as Joon-won woke up and went for his jog before taking a quick bath. He slowly ate some cereal with milk while thinking about the things he had to do. After the shift, he needed to go to Do Hwan's production company and get his audition script. Do Hwan mentioned he needed to learn a two-page script from which they could ask any part for him to perform.

The script they would give him wasn't part of the original movie script but a random practice script they made for auditions.

After getting the script, he would come back and start preparing for it. It was Monday and Do Hwan told him that he needed to give an audition on Wednesday itself because they were only free at that time. So he had only 2 days at max to prepare for the audition.

Thinking of all that, he noticed it was almost time and quickly washed the bowl before making his way out of the house. As he made his way towards the store while listening to some music, he heard his phone notification sound. He checked and saw it was a text from Hea-Jung.

[When are you going to the company for the script?]

He looked at the message for a few seconds before deciding to ignore it. He didn't have the energy to deal with her. He could guess why she asked that question. She might want to come along with him for amusement, and he didn't want that to happen. As he ignored it a few messages kept coming, but he didn't even bother to check them and turned the notification sound completely.

He reached the store and saw Eum Kyung sitting on the counter, scrolling through his phone. Greeting him, he made his way back and changed into the uniform.

As he sat beside him, he could see the tiredness in his eyes and knew he was tired from the party the previous night and the drinks he had with the owner. His shift was very early, so he probably didn't have enough time to get over it.

He didn't have many drinks. He never liked the taste of alcohol and would only drink wine at most if he was in the mood for it. But there was only beer yesterday, and he only drank a few sips because Gim Da forced him to.

Both of them continued to work in silence as Joon-won didn't want to disturb the poor man, who probably wanted some sleep. The 30 minutes went quickly as Gah Soo walked in, and Eum Kyung quickly took his leave.

Time quickly passed by as both of them continued to work while having some small chat. Gah Soo still had her classes, as the Financial Management course was longer than acting. Her classes would still go on for another 2 weeks before they had to go for an internship the last year to earn experience.

In the quiet store, both were having some small talk to pass the time when the door opened and Hea-Jung marched in like a demoness. She noticed Joon-won behind the counter and said, "Why didn't you reply after the first message? You do know that I can see if you saw my message or not right? You didn't even bother to look at the other messages."

The way she told her thoughts could be easily misunderstood, and Gah Soo misunderstood. She wanted to quietly walk away and give both of them some space as she thought it was something personal.

Joon-won noticed this and said to Hea-Jung who doesn't have any awareness, "Quiet down and once think before you talk. The way you told now could cause many misunderstandings."

Hea-Jung paused for a second when he heard him and thought back to what she said before replying, "Don't have the brain of a monkey. Do boys always have such an idiotic brain?"

Joon-won raised an eyebrow after hearing her but didn't bother to correct her that it wasn't he who misunderstood. He sighed and asked, "Anyway, why are you here? About the message this morning?"

Hea-Jung didn't bother replying as she just nodded while folding her arms and look down on him. Joon-won didn't bother standing up from the chair and said, "I know what you would ask if I told you when I will be going there. So I didn't bother replying. I want to go alone and if you come with me it's too much attention towards us."

"Well, you clearly forgot I know where you work. Now that I am here I'll wait till you go there." And took a seat behind the counter.

"Why do you even want to come? It won't be any fun for you, anyway. Don't you have any other work to do? If you don't then go give some auditions or improve your acting, after all, you are still majoring in acting."

She looked at him with her head held high and said, "What audition? I don't need to audition, I am in a film and the shooting will also start soon." Revealing a secret without noticing.

This took Joon-won back. He never saw her acting and even though people shouldn't be judged by looks, it was still surprising for him. He never thought that she already had a film to act in.

"Wait. You are in a film?"

As he asked her, it dawned on her what she just spoke, and loomed around to see if anyone else was there. Gah Soo was far away from them, fixing a few shelves, and she whispered to Joon-won, "Little brother do not tell anyone about this. I wasn't supposed to tell anyone that I am in a movie."

This took him back once again, and he looked her up and down. He wondered which maniac took a chance with her in a film.

"Alright, I won't tell anyone. Now tell me which movie you are going to act in?"
