Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 58

[You should have accepted her advice.] the system that didn't speak the entire day came alive.
Joon-won paused a few seconds before shaking his head and ignored the suggestion. He still didn't fully trust the system's so-called suggestions. He decided to go with what he felt, and he didn't see the need to get help from her. He already regarded that role as his and looked at the script in his hands.
After reaching home, he sat down and sent a text to Jung-hwa if she reached her house. Her bus was early in the morning and she would have reached home by then. He didn't have to wait long as he received a reply that she was at home and was going to have an afternoon nap.
He kept the phone aside after that and finally opened the script. It was only 2 papers long, and he saw how detailed it was. For each part in the script, there was an explanation of the scenario the character was in for the actor to understand the character's mentality a little to help in the acting.
This script was more detailed and better than the amateur script their class wrote for their play. That script was all over the place and the actors had to do much more work to understand a character's mental state. It was hard especially for scenes that Joon-won had because of the number of emotions he had to show, like rage and jealousy at once.
Joon-won slowly read through the entire script and kept it aside for a second. His character was actually very simple in it. He was a college student and mental support for the main character who goes through many problems. So most of his scenes were there to shine the main character in a better way.

There were parts of the script where he had to show different emotions. There was one where he was angry at the 2nd female lead because she cheated and broke the main character. He had to show a tinge of jealousy when the female lead asked about the lead instead of him.
Overall, according to him, this audition script was taken out of some romantic drama. His confidence was the same even after he saw the script. He felt he could perform well and get the attention of the people judging him.
He picked up the script and started to slowly go through each line, memorizing them while at the same time vocally trying which tone was better for each part. He was slowly organizing his skills and output. Time passed by and he checked his phone to see it was already 6 in the evening.
He closed the script and kept it aside. Taking out his phone, he saw a message from Mo Yang, asking him to come out for a party. This guy was always out partying, trying to mix into the more popular and rich people in class and university. He dragged the old Joon-won into it too. Thinking for a second, he accepted the invite and texted back that he will be there.
He still knew little about the culture, and the best way to find out was a social gathering like this one. He took a bath, changed into better clothes before walking out of the building. Mo Yang lived in the dorms and so they decided to meet up at the University gates. He didn't forget to bring his headphones as he listened to more music. He quickly reached the gates and waited for Mo Yang.
He sent a message and started to wait for the man to come out. It didn't take him long to come out as Mo Yang came out and both of them made their way towards a pub.

"Man, it's good to go to a party with you again. You didn't come to any of the parties last week. But it looks like your hard work paid off and finally got a better ranking." Mo Yang joked as he slings his arm around Joon-won.
Joon-won stared at the hand for a sec but didn't shake it off as he replied, "Yeah, I needed to get better marks to show back home. Right, how did you do? Got any better marks?"
"Nah, man. Still the same old. But it's alright, I mean you live only once and University should be the time of your life. You should come out and make memories every opportunity you have. If you go out of this student life into the real world, it's the dog fight. So just lean back a little and relax." Acting as a philosopher.
'Yeah, you should relax and enjoy a little, but not like you. If you continue to be like that, they will eat you in the dog fight out there.' Joon-won said to himself.
"So, where is the party tonight?" Changing the topic as he couldn't hear any more philosophies from the guy's mouth.
"Oh, it's a nice place. You probably do not know any of the people there as most of them are from other departments. So try to blend in like me, make some friends and you will be good."
Joon-won nodded, but he had no intention to make friends. He just wanted to sit back and see how things are. They also had pubs back in the kingdom, but most of it was only warriors and magicians sitting with a drink in their hands and chatting off about their long journeys and achievements.
It didn't take them long to reach the pub. Joon-won looked at the flashing signboard which said 'Rosemary' and noticed the long line. Pubs near Universities had long lines irrespective of the date and if they had classes, the next day as many had the same mentality as Mo Yang.
As he was about to walk towards the end of the line, Mo Yang stopped him and said with a cheeky smile, "We don't need to be in the line this time. Just watch." As he walked up to the huge security at the door.
He whispered a few words, shoved some money, and called Joon-won over.

Eh, it's not serious. Wait... it's getting serious.
