Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 88

As soon as he mentioned the script, everything was out the window for Jung-hwa as she looked at him, ready to read the script. Jung-hwa moved closer to him and both looked at the script.
"Read inside your head. I don't want noises while reading."Joon-won instructed her, and she immediately agreed to his conditions. The next hour, the house was completely quiet, with only the sound of pages turning, resonating in the entire house.
As both of them turned the last page, the house became completely silent. The first to break the silence was Jung-hwa, who exclaimed, "Damn, that script is on another level. No wonder Roses drama house is one of the most famous theatres in the entire world. It deserves that praise."
Joon-won nodded and agreed with her evaluation. The story was fantastic and he could feel the writer's intention as he read it. It was kinda sad when he understood what the writer was trying to say. The writer wanted to tell everyone that not every person would have a good ending despite all the hard work they put in.
The story started with the hero meeting the heroine during their job. The heroine was already engaged with the company's CEO, aka the villain, at that time. After both the leads met and started working together and getting closer, both slowly developed feelings for each other. Despite slowly developing feelings for each other, the heroine did not tell the hero that she was already engaged, or even the CEO and her family that she didn't want to marry.
The CEO stumbled upon both of them having a great time on a day off in a park. That was the same day when he invited his fiancee to go out shopping for their upcoming wedding. The CEO who saw this was obviously devastated and started making life tough for the heroine and her family. He would have taken a no, but she didn't tell him that and had a relationship with another man, which made him very angry.
He first made it tough for the heroine's father who worked under him too, in a high position in the company. He demoted the dad, ignore his pleas for a reason, and eventually fired him. With the head of the family down, made that family heavily dependent on the heroine. After leaving them alone for some time, he pressured the heroine next and eventually made her also quit the job.

After that, there is a scene between the hero, the heroine, and her family with the CEO where he revealed everything about what she has been up to with the hero. The Hero was the typical character who stood by the side of his love and accused the villain of ruining a family. The Hero too leaves the company and marries the heroine. He tries to find a new job but the villain blocks every way for the family making them eventually commit suicide themselves. The last scene is with the villain talking to himself about how everything transpired and how thighs could have ended a different way.
The story was well structured. And it also showed that being on the good side doesn't always mean that everything they do is good. Here, even if finding the loved one was good and lovely, the way they tried to get away with it was bad. The villain would have just accepted that he wasn't the one for her and moved on. The villain was also a human who had his own emotions.
Thinking about the whole story once again, Joon-won knew he had to get that role. The villain was the main character and also the perfect role for him in the drama. This made his desire for the role grow more and decided to go all out on Wednesday during the audition.
Joon-won turned towards Jung-hwa who was still staring at the script on the table and said, "Alright, don't stare at it for too long, it might burn from the intensity. Now, here watch some TV, while I cook up dinner for you. Sounds good?" he shook her awake while standing up.
Jung-hwa took the remote he was handing out and nodded before turning on the TV. Joon-won took out the groceries he got and started cooking up some curry with rice. He took out the meat and went hard on the meal. As he cooked, his thoughts were still on the villain character and how he could embarrass that role better. He knew he had to further analyze it later at night and get a good grip on the character's thought process if he wanted to perform well.
After finishing up everything, he looked towards Jung-hwa and saw she was watching some news and took two plates of food towards the couch. Keeping the plate in front of her, he shook her, and she turned her head towards him before the plate.

She looked at the plate from all sides before slowly taking it into her hand and sniffing it. Joon-won rolled his eyes when he saw her antics and started eating the food.
"Seems legit. The smell is good, the color is good. Looks like the texture is also good. Seems like I won't die if I eat it." She mumbled. Joon-won sighed and reached out to grab her plate.
"Alright, give it to me now. If you do not want to eat it, then don't. Stop acting so weird, it's getting irritating now. So, come on. Give it to me, I'll throw it in the trash and you can eat somewhere else outside on your way back to the dorms." he reached out and almost grabbed it.
Jung-hwa backed up and saw his annoyed expression and said, "Alright, I know you won't kill me so discretely if you wanted to. You are the type of guy to kill a person head-on without any tricks."
"This is the second time you made the same joke. It has gotten old and irritating. Also, why do you presume I will even kill, much less my methods? Just shut up and eat. It's getting late and your dorms will close. If they do, I'm not allowing you to crash here." and continued to eat. He was getting slightly irritated at her. He didn't like people making noise while eating food. The silence was a must for someone like him who slowly eats and enjoys every bite of it.
Jung-hwa nodded and took a spoonful of rice and curry before closing her eyes and shoving it into her mouth. After a while, she exclaimed, "Oh my god. You really do know how to cook. It's better than some of the restaurants I ate at. You know what, quit acting and do this. Set up your own restaurant. I am sure you will make it big."
"Just close your mouth and eat. Don't speak while you have food in your mouth, it's gross. Ad I am fine with acting. I have no plans to do anything else."
Jung-hwa nodded and continued to eat. Both looked at the TV and Joon-won recognized it was the same news he saw earlier that day. It was about the scandal relating to the singer who blackmailed her agency president.
"Joon-won, do you think it's true? Or all of it is a huge plan to bury the poor singer because he did not get what he wanted from her?" Jung-hwa pointed at the singer's picture on the news and asked.
Joon-won shook his head and said, "Who knows whether it is true or not. Humans are very fickle creatures. It could be true that the singer is really doing it too? I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if she really did it. But what you said can also be true. Or there is a more dangerous third way to all this. Maybe it's an enormous story by both parties and all this was just for more promotion and fame. In the end, only the two parties who are involved know what is real and what is bogus." he simply shrugged it off.
Jung-hwa who continued to look at the news, slowly nodded and continued to eat. After both of them completed the dinner, Jung-hwa insisted to clean the dishes to help out to which Joon-won agreed without hesitation, only to hear a few curses from her about how ungentlemanly he was to make her do the work.
"Well, alright then. I am going to go now. I'll tell you tomorrow, how my script is. So keep a lookout for my messages." Jung-hwa said as she stood outside the apartment.
Joon-won nodded and said, "Alright then. Make sure to get back safely."
Jung-hwa rolled her eyes and said, "You know, this is the part where you say, you will walk me back cause you are concerned about my safety."
"First you think too highly of yourself and 2nd I would say that to the girl who I like so that I can spend more time with her. Not you. Get a cab if you feel unsafe till the university and send me a text when you reach your room. Anyway, bye." and he closed the door.
