Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 44

The three finally stopped before an office in the auditorium. Hea-Jung turned back and said, "Alright, my gift is inside this room. Now do not get surprised and don't forget to thank me for this." she puffed her chest high and turned around.
She opened the door and Joon-won could immediately see the Vice-Dean song with the special judge Do Hwan sitting on a couch, waiting. He guessed what the surprise was after the interaction between Do Hwan and Hea-Jung during the drama, and it looks like he was on point.
Joon-won stepped into the room with a calm expression, but the same could not be said to Jung-hwa. She was fidgeting when she saw two big shots in the room and did not know what was happening. Do Hwan's harsh remarks were still in her mind and seeing him again made her nervous.
Joon-won noticed her nervousness and patted the back of her hand for some assurance. Hea-Jung giggled seeing the nervous Jung-hwa and joined Do Hwan on the couch. The Vice Dean was behind a huge desk, sitting on the chair while the remaining two were on the couch. Joon-won and Jung-hwa stood before the Vice-Dean, waiting for what he had to say.
"See uncle, you made the girl more nervous than she was with me." the cold face Do Hwan vanished as he showed a wry smile hearing her.
"Hea-Jung, if it wasn't for your request yesterday, I wouldn't even be here and it was even your request to be hard on the 2nd batch of students. Who knew the potential you wanted to show me was in the 2nd batch." and he turned towards Joon-won. Joon-won didn't even bother looking at him as he stared at Vice-dean, waiting for an explanation.
The Vice-Dean coughed and looked at the two students in front of him with a hint of pride as he explained, "I am sure it confused you both why student Seo Hea-Jung called for you and why today's special Judge Do Hwan is here. To tell both of you the truth, there was no special Judge planned for today's exam. After all, you guys are only in your first year."

He turned towards Hea-Jung, who held her head high and said, "But your senior, Seo Hea-Jung, invited Mr. Hwan here yesterday and informed the university this morning. So it was a surprise. Now Mr. Hwan here is a producer, I'm sure both of you figured it out but he worked with many A-listed actors in the present industry and has some notable achievements under his belt." introducing Do Hwan.
"Vice-Dean, come on. I would have come if even you invited me. I learned quite a lot from the present Dean back when I was still new to this business and he told me a lot about you." Do Hwan immediately interrupted. His voice was normal and wasn't cold as earlier today. He seemed to be a different person than earlier that day and was easy to talk to.
"Well, anyway, I called both of you here because Mr. Hwan wanted to talk to you after the exam." he looked at Joon-won, sizing him up. The first time he saw this student was today when he caught his attention with an amazing performance. So he was curious about this kid who didn't stand out in any way until the end of the year.
Joon-won turned around and saw Do Hwan clearly. He couldn't see properly before on the stage as he was too far and now he didn't lance at the dude when he walked in. Do Hwan looked like a typical mid-aged man if you take out the fancy suit he was in and the judging eyes when he stares at you.
"Uncle Hwan, this is my beloved junior brother. Even though we met only 2 days back, this little brother is really special and always fun to hand around with. His name is Joon-won. So what do you think? What I said yesterday isn't wrong, right? You told me you will pay for my next purchase if this was worth your money. So get ready it won't be long before you pay up." Hea-Jund excitedly introduced Joon-won, while having a sly smile on her face at the end.

Joon-won raised his eyebrow a little when he heard there was a bet. Do Hwan coughed when he heard her and said, "Alright let's not talk about yesterday's bet now? Well, you are not wrong, this kid is really special. Seems like you finally met some talented people instead of having people like Hae Yongsun always around."
The last sentence seemed to light a fuse under her as she blew off. "Uncle, how could you say that? It's not me having him around, it's him being around me. That dog is shameless and doesn't learn even after I scold and humiliate him." as soon as she said that, the Vice-Dean coughed.
"Alright, let's not talk about other people like that now. Let's continue with the business in hand." he didn't want her to talk about Hae Yongsun like that as a teacher, even though he knew that was the truth from what he saw and heard.
With him interfering the strange conversion between the two people on the couch did not continue as Hea-Jung just turned around and Do Hwan looked at Joon-won.
"Well, I will get to you in a minute. Let's talk about you. I didn't expect you to be near him when Hea-Jung went out to call. But it's good that you came in. I wanted to talk to you if there was a chance too." he turned towards Jung-hwa after asking Joon-won to wait a little longer.
Jung-hwa's body was like a pole, as she was never that nervous in her whole life. She unconsciously strengthened her mental fortitude to prepare for any comments to come.

Many Minded
Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author.
