If I continue to fall for you once a day, or even several times, I might encounter moments when I fall for you. If I keep falling for you on my own, my love might become much greater than yours. Such unnecessary worries cross my mind.
“This writer.”
“Yes?”
Jun’s unexpected call made my shoulders twitch.
“You’ve been staring at my face and smiling since earlier. Do you have something to say?”
“Oh, well…”
With Jun’s words, I felt a rush of glances converging on me, making my whole body contract.
As if urging me to say something, Jun’s lip corner playfully lifted. Then, unable to utter a word, your gaze landed on my lips that were slightly trembling, on your eyebrows that settled heavily on my eyes, and on my eyes that seemed unsure of what to do.
Soon, Jun’s already lifted lip corners began to shake with laughter pouring out of his mouth.
“I wondered if there was something you wanted to say separately to the handsome actor, me?”
In front of everyone, did you want to tease me like this? You were cheeky. Using the table that covered the itchy legs as a makeshift barricade, I struck Jun’s thigh twice, as if saying, “Stop it now.”
When my slightly clenched fist reached the third hit on Jun’s thigh, my fist was caught by Jun’s hand.
As if apologizing, Jun gently touched my small fist with his thumb.
“I’m sorry. I must have misunderstood. If you had something to say related to Jihoon’s audition evaluation, you can tell me after the audition is over. It doesn’t have to be here.”
“…Yes, I understand.”
Still looking at Jun with a slightly chubby expression, I glanced at him from the side. The gaze directed at me, as if telling me to let it go, was affectionate. Still, I didn’t smile until the end.
“Well, now it’s my turn.”
Jin, the representative, gestured that it was okay for Jun to speak while sending a long gaze in our direction.
“Yes, go ahead. Although you said I looked like a student in acting earlier.”
“Oh, yes.”
“The fact that Jihoon’s appearance has been emphasized continuously since earlier means that he has visual competitiveness. While the synchronization with the main character in the movie is not a sufficient condition, it also means that the judges will support Jihoon’s acting with that much enthusiasm.”
My gaze turned to Jihoon’s stoic expression, which did not rely on emotions hastily. His lips were firmly sealed. Jin’s words seemed to be resonating deeply within him.
“Well, let’s start with the designated acting, shall we? It’s the first scene of this movie. Jun, who came running in a hurry because he was worried, discovers Jihoon, who has fallen asleep after worrying about him at the house where they started homestay.”
As if picking up Jin’s last words, Kang PD, after glancing at Jihoon’s tense face, added,
“In fact, the weight of the dialogue in this scene is not very high, so how well you express the character in line with the script seems to be crucial. Although Director Kim insisted on having the designated acting audition with this scene, well, maybe Director Kim has his own points of view…”
There was still a lingering doubt in Kang PD’s words about whether it was necessary to decide on this scene for the designated acting even now.
“So, what I mean is, it would be great if you could express every script detail very meticulously. Don’t discard any detail. Oh, and this is a message delivered with cheering for Jihoon. It seems like you’re very nervous.”
“Yes, thank you.”
While Jihoon was calming his mind, I glanced at the script spread out on the right.
When I wrote this scenario, and now, reading the almost completed script silently. Everything feels vivid as if I’ve gone back to that day.
「S#1. Jun’s House / Living Room. Afternoon.
Haru sitting on the living room sofa. While Jun suddenly rushes upstairs, Haru wakes up from a nap and stretches with a languid body. Jun, who comes down to the first floor earlier than expected, discovers him.
Jun: (sighs while looking down at Haru) Ugh… Name.
Jun passes by where Haru is sitting, goes to the kitchen, and takes out bottled water from the fridge, drinking it heartily.
Jun: What’s your name?
Haru: (slightly annoyed) Haru.
Jun: Haru?
Haru nods.
Jun: Bom.
Haru: Bom?
Jun: It means spring. Haru Bom.」
Soon, Jihoon’s acting began. Jihoon, who looks like twenty years old Jun but is a completely different person, starts acting. The voice, the tone of the lines, although a bit different from the Jun in my memory. I could feel from him.
The pure gaze that twenty-year-old Jun would have.
His hesitant gestures at the newly budding unfamiliar emotions.
I was curious about Jun’s reaction. I looked at Jun with a sidelong glance. Jun, tapping his index finger on his lips, seemed lost in thought.
After the performance, other judges began praising Jihoon’s acting and suggesting areas for improvement. However, amid all this, Jun remained silent.
Jihoon also seemed to be getting anxious as he listened to the comments from other judges. In the gaps that occasionally appeared, Jihoon’s gaze slid towards Jun, as if waiting for comments.
When his earnest gaze turned to Jun again, Kang PD threw a comment.
“But, Jihoon’s acting ability itself is, of course, an important evaluation criterion, and the reason we are sitting here, of course, is also for that. Hey, this writer?”
“Yes?”
“Well, don’t look so surprised. I have a curious question. What Jihoon just acted is the twenty-year-old Jun from nine years ago.”
“Oh, yes.”
“How is it? Are you excited watching Jihoon’s acting? Do you feel the emotions from that time in the script?”
“…Yes?”
“No, I mean. For someone to fall in love again, the acting must be as good as it was at that time, right?”
In response to the sudden question, Jun’s face came into my view, drying up from the void. Jun, who had been silent all along, started looking at me intently.
“Indeed. This is really intriguing. This writer. By any chance, did you genuinely feel excited watching Jihoon’s acting just now?”
While looking at Jun’s expression that was hard to read, I swallowed my dry saliva.
