Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 73

As all of them were working in the room, Pak Shin stood up and said to everyone, "Alright, let's take a break. We can continue after a while." While stretching his body a little. As soon as he said that the rest exhaled in relief and also started stretching their bodies. All of them sat in front of the sewing machines for hours. Their bodies were a bit sore.
Joon-won also stopped working and heard the guy beside him, "Yo, what's your name? We were too busy and forgot to even ask your name." He grinned a little and the others, including Pak Shin, looked at him.
"My name is Kim Joon-won. I'm a university student at Arios Drama University. I came here to learn about acting and solve a few problems I am facing. Are you all also actors here?" He introduced himself and asked all four of them again.
All of them shook their heads hearing his question and the same guy replied, "No we aren't actors. We all majored in art and are quite good at movie settings and costumes. So we all work here for the drama house and sometimes get called for movie sets too. Oh! By the way, my name is Gim Tae. I'm also a university student but in my last year." Stretching out his hand, and Joon-won responded.
The guy in front of him was 3 years older than him. He looked rather plain and outgoing, seeing how he was the first to strike a conversation with him. He wore glasses and had a normal haircut. Everything about him screamed normal.
As soon as he introduced himself, the rest also followed.
"Hello, my name is Do Ryung. I graduated from university last year and am now working here." The one beside Gim Tae introduced himself. This one had more personality compared to Gim Tae. He had ear piercings and also had more fashion sense. His hair was also a bit stylish but not too much to stand out among the crowd.
"My name is Seok Yun. I'm also a last-year university student." The only girl in the room briefly introduced herself. She had short hair and a more gloomy feeling. She seemed like the quiet one in the group.
"Now last but not least, I'm Pak Shin. I'm kind of the leader of this group. So If you have any problems with anything here you can come to me." Pak Shin was a middle-aged man who looked around in his late 20s or early 30s. He clearly had more authority and experience than the others. He also had a blank expression when introducing himself.

Joon-won nodded with a small smile on his face and nodded towards everyone. After the introductions were done, Gim Tae looked at him and said, "Do you want to go out and have something? I'm really hungry." Joon-won thought for a second before nodding. He wanted to know more about this drama house and it's best to ask over having some food.
Gim Tae turned around and asked everyone else, "Does anyone want to come with both of us? We are going to have some snacks across the street."
Do Ryung nodded and replied, "Sure I'll come. It's nice to move around a little."
"I'll go to the props room next door now so I can't come. If possible, get me a few dumplings, that's enough. I'll pay after you guys come back." Seok Yun responded by shaking her head.
"You guys go, I'm too tired to come." Pak Shin waved his hand and sat in his seat before taking out a phone.
"Alright then let's go." Gim Tae stood up along with Joon-won and Do Ryung. All three of them made their way outside the room and saw the busy corridor once again. Many people were moving around different rooms and so they slowly made their way through and exited that area. After going through another pair of doors, the corridor was empty and silent.
The three slowly walked out of the theatre and saw the sun started to set. Gim Tae looked back and asked, "So what do you guys want to eat? There is a market nearby which sells many fast food items."
Joon-won shrugged and replied, "I have no preferences. So you guys can decide."
As soon as he said that, Do Ryung said, "Alright then let's have a few dumplings. I'm kinda craving for those." Gim Tae nodded, and they made their way down the street. Joon-won looked around and saw many shops and tall offices. He saw people walking out of buildings, tired and looking into their phones. There were many cabs on the road too for the office men to go home.
After walking down a few blocks, Gim Tae stopped and looked to the side. It was a market and a crowded one at that. Joon-won saw many office men who came out like them to take some rest or were off work and just wanted to chill for a while.

"Alright let's go. It's more crowded than usual." Making the other two nod.
They followed Gim Tae's lead and reached a dumpling store. The store was very busy, as many people were sitting and chatting. There wasn't any place for them, so Gim Tae decided to get a takeout and eat back at the theatre. After getting a few extra dumplings for the other two, they exited and came out.
Joon-won sighed as he knew he wouldn't be able to talk about the theatre like they originally planned. He decided to suggest getting a few drinks after the work was complete. That was another good way to talk.
They quickly made their way out of the street, and the three exhaled in relief. Gim Tae wiped some sweat off and exclaimed, "That was tough. So many people just keep coming in and it's really suffocating."
Do Ryung shrugged and replied, "It's the only market to get cheap snacks and drinks in an area like this. So of course it will be crowded."
Gim Tae nodded, and the three started to make their way back. They quickly reached the theatre and went into their room. As they were walking through the corridor a few people who saw the bag in their hands also went out to get something to eat as if they remembered they were hungry.
They entered their room and saw Seok Yun and Pak Shin on their phones. They looked up and nodded at the three of them. Gim Tae shook the bag in his hands and said, alright let's all eat some quickly and get back to work. We couldn't eat there cause it was just too crowded and busy today."
The other two nodded and all three of them sat down in the middle of the room. Gim Tae took out the disposable chopsticks they got from the store and gave everyone one. Do Ryung took out the dox of food and opened it up. The food was still warm and the aroma filled the room.
Everyone quickly completed the dumplings in the box before throwing the box and chopsticks into the trash.
Do Rung exclaimed as he sat in his seat, "Those were some good dumplings. We should get them more often. Those really hit the spot."
Gim Tae and Seok Yun nodded and Pak Shin said, "Alright the break is over, and let's stop talking about food. We need to get these clothes ready by tomorrow. The costume trail is tomorrow evening so come on let's get going." He clapped his hands and made Gim Tae groan.
Everyone started working again as Joon-won's work also changed from stitching pockets to checking the costumes for any default in them. There were bound to be a few defaults because of the speed they were churning out the costumes. He just needed to check them and correct them if possible or hand them over to one of the four who were on the machines.
Joon-won worked quickly and the room went silent again like earlier. By the time they finished for the day, it was already 9, way past the actual closing time. Pak Shin stood up and said while clapping, "Alright that's it for today. We finished most of the costumes and let's get the rest of the smaller ones tomorrow morning. Everything should be ready by tomorrow evening for the tryouts."
As soon as he said that, the rest groaned and exhaled in relief. It was a long day for them and was exhausting because of the deadline.
"Alright let's get some drinks before going back." Gim Tae exclaimed as he pumped his fist up.
"I need to go back to my dorm. It's almost closing time. So not today." Seok Yun rejected as she finished packing her stuff.
"I need to get home. My wife has been texting for the past 30 minutes. So you three continue." Pak Shin said as he was checking if everything was there as the leader of the group.
Gim Tae looked at Do Ryung and Joon-won with a hopeful expression and became elated when both agreed. Joon-won was happy that he didn't need to suggest as the outgoing Gim Tae did.
