Rebirth: King To Superstar Chapter 96

As both of them continued to talk, the door opened and Kar Jung walked in with a bag full of groceries. He had chocolate in his mouth and pointed at the bag before walking into the kitchen to set it aside. Kar Min stood up and went inside to help keep the things where they belong. Joon-won just sat there in the living room, looked around, and saw a few pictures of Kar Jung and Kar Min. There were also a few pictures of their kids, one boy, and one girl. Both looked older than him and he didn't notice them in the house, both the times he came.
After a few minutes, both of them walked out and Kar Min said, "Alright then, I'll go back into the house while. both of you discuss your acting stuff. Call me if you need anything." And walked away, leaving the two alone.
Kar Jung sat on the couch with a glass of juice in his hand and said, "Do you want some?" Joon-won had a deadpan face as he looked at him, thinking about how much of a prick the old man could get. He didn't even offer it and even if he was now, he clearly wasn't interested in giving some, even if he asked. So Joon-won simply shook his head and said he was ok.
Kar Jung nodded with a smile on his face and said while keeping the glass down, "Well, shall we start? Do you want to go right into it?"
Joon-won thought for a second and nodded. He got all his lines down and now it was only controlling his emotions that he needed to work on it a little. Kar Jung stood up and went into the bedroom before coming out with a script in his hands. Joon-won took out even his script, and both got to work.
The first scene they acted out was the scene where Joon-won goes back home, delusional about the scene in the park. Joon-won stood outside of the house and took a deep breath before knocking on the door. He had a calm expression on his face, almost spooky in a sense.
Kar Jung opened the door with a small smile on his face and said, "Welcome, young master. Come inside, it's probably going to rain." And hurried Joon-won in. He looked at Joon-won, who stood silently after coming in, not moving an inch, and noticed something was wrong.

"Young master, is something wrong? Are you feeling sick? We can call the family doctor and he will be here in a minute. Shall I call him once?" And took out a phone from his pockets with a slightly worried expression.
Joon-won turned around with a smile on his face but a blank look in his eyes and said, "Old Man Jian, you won't believe what I saw just now. I saw her with another man in a park, kissing and cuddling. I must be really tired these days because I'm hallucinating too much. That's right, I am just tired." and laughed a little as he walked away towards the room.
Kar Jung stood there seeing Joon-won's back and said, "Alright young master, you must be really tired. Go have some rest."
After Joon-won's back disappeared, Kar Jung's expression changed, and it turned 180. He looked serious as he turned around, put his phone near his ears, and said, "Find out what that girl is doing these past few days. I want everything about her whereabouts, who she is meeting, what she is doing. Everything by tonight. It is very important."
He looked back at the door Joon-won went through and murmured with the same serious expression, "Young Master, do not worry. I will find out what this nuisance is all about. I won't let you go through anything like that once again. Don't forget this old man is here for you." That's the end of the scene and Joon-won walked out.
Kar Jung nodded and said, "You did well. Obviously, this time your emotions were too suppressed. and were too conscious about it and it showed. You are either super emotional or super suppressed. You need to find that right balance and make it seem natural."
Joon-won nodded, as he knew Kar Jung was right. He was suppressing the sense of loss and sadness that the scene needed too much because he was too conscious of not overdoing it. But he was more surprised by Kar Jung's acting. Kar Jung's lines and emotions were very spot on and helped him ease up a bit. He could feel his hesitation decrease when Kar Jung's acting was on such a high level.
"Old man, you aren't bad at all. Looks like you have skills." He praised him.

Kar Jung snorted and said, "You don't need to tell me that. If I hear that I am bad at acting even from a 20-year-old boy who can't control his emotions, I would doubt the past 30 years of my life." Even though he said that Joon-won could see a small proud smile on Kar Jung's face.
Joon-won shook his head and said, "Alright then, shall we go on with the next scene? The one where you tell me about your findings." Kar Jung nodded. And both of them took their places. Joon-won sat on the couch with a spoon in his hand, and Kar Jung stood next to him with his hands on his back.
Joon-won started to act as if he was eating some food and as he did, Kar Jung started his dialogue, "Young Master, I found out about something you might want to hear about." His face was grim as he said that. His eyes were fierce, something people don't see in an old man's face.
Joon-won nodded and Kar Jung continued, "It's about your fiance, what you saw in that park might be true. She has been seen being very close with this guy from the same group in the company. It seems like he was a new hire this year and joined the team at the same time you assigned her to the team. Both of them got very close the following months and were seen going to movies and parks while holding their hands together. The entire team both were working on also told that both were more than friends and more like lovers. It seems like that girl has been cheating on you the whole time behind your back." In one whole breath. The room was silent after that, and Joon-won gripped the spoon in his hand tightly with a fierce expression.
He roared as he swiped his hand, "So what I saw was true. I was not hallucinating when I saw her in a park with another man. The only person I was willing to trust after everything that happened turned out this way. Old Man Jian, find out. Find out who that guy is and how long this whole nonsense has been going on. I want to know everything."
Kar Jung nodded and said, "Don't worry, young master. I'll find out everything about both of them at the end of the day. Rest assured young master, we will get to the end of this." And the scene ended.
Joon-won relaxed a little after the scene, and Kar Jung did the same. Both of them felt good about that one. Joon-won felt his emotions were better than before and that there was more hope that the problem would be solved by the time he set for himself.
Both of them continued to go through the scenes repeatedly until Kar Jung was satisfied with the performance. Joon-won checked the time and noticed it was already 6 as they walked back into the main house.
Kar Min saw both of them come in from the backyard and said, "Both of you are finally outside. Joon-won, stay for dinner. You can have dinner here, I'll get it done quickly." As she turned the Television off and stood up to go into the kitchen.
Joon-won could feel a stare from the back and said, "No it's ok, Ms. Kar. I need to go back home quickly now. I have some work to do. So it's alright." And denied her kind thoughts. He didn't want to get the overly jealous old man worked up for no reason.
Kar Min nodded and didn't push the young man further. Joon-won told his goodbyes and walked out of the neighborhood. He looked at the houses and the cars parked outside and felt the people living in the community knew how to spend money.
Joon-won felt the enormous house was a good purchase, but the cars he saw, most of them, seemed like they were both only for their looks. He thought about the costs that the owners would have to incur for minor damages or scratches, and couldn't help but shudder a little. He felt the people were probably swimming in money.
Joon-won exhaled a little when he got out of the society and hailed down a cab before going straight back home.
