The waiting room for the practical exam at Mirinae Arts High School.
The students who were assigned to the last ti slot started to enter one by one.
The guardians were not allowed to enter the waiting room, so they could only give their nervous children so last-minute advice and encouragent at the door.
Im here!
You ca early, huh?
There were no numbers on the chairs, so the students who were close to each other sat together.
So students were reading their prepared scripts to ease their anxiety, while others were chatting in low voices to distract themselves.
Do you think well take the exam with Lee Seo-jun?
I wonder. There was no sighting of him online, right?
Yeah. None of the students from the previous ti slots saw him either.
Then he must be in our ti slot.
One student sighed lightly.
I hope hes not right in front of .
The boy who was sitting right behind the two students shuddered.
Why?
Because if the person in front of you does well, it leaves a strong impression.
Thats true.
The other students in the waiting room unconsciously listened to their conversation.
Can you imagine how impressive Lee Seo-juns acting would be? The person who goes after him would get a low score even if they do well.
Do you think so?
The teachers might be impartial, but they cant be completely unaffected.
The boy who was sitting behind them sighed inwardly.
Exam number 541, Woo Jae-hyuk.
Three years ago, his exam number was 275, right after Lee Seo-juns 274.
After the practical exam, Lee Seo-jun got accepted to Yeoul Arts Middle School and even starred in a blockbuster movie called Reversal, while Woo Jae-hyuk failed to get into Yeoul Arts Middle School and went to a regular middle school.
Of course, its not Lee Seo-juns fault.
He would be lying if he said he didnt have any resentnt in his heart.
Why did he have to apply to the sa school as him, why did he have to take the exam on the sa day as him, why did he have to be right before him?
But that resentnt soon disappeared.
It was after he saw the videos of the students who got into Yeoul Arts Middle School on YouTube.
He was stunned by Lee Seo-juns performance.
He wondered how shocked and amazed the teachers who saw him in person must have been.
He thought that anyone who followed Lee Seo-jun would inevitably be compared to him, no matter how well they acted.
And he realized sothing else as he beca a middle school student and auditioned for various works.
There were child actors who were better than him even in small plays.
And among those child actors, there were so who didnt get cast.
Thats when Woo Jae-hyuk realized how harsh the world he was standing in was.
This world was like that.
The person who auditioned right before you could be an Academy Award winner, or your rival could be a Cannes Film Festival winner.
Well, those actors wouldnt audition for these roles anyway.
Woo Jae-hyuk laughed bitterly as he thought of Lee Seo-jun, an exceptional top star.
If it wasnt for the entrance exam, he would never have to audition with Lee Seo-jun.
That ant that his competitors were not easy either.
A world full of people who had better skills than him.
So Woo Jae-hyuk decided to hone his skills more.
I wont be overshadowed by Lee Seo-jun or anyone else!
That was his determination, but he still prayed hard in his heart when he applied for Mirinae Arts High School.
Im not good enough yet, so please let Lee Seo-jun be behind !
He submitted his application form as soon as possible, but he never dread that they would randomly decide the order of the practical exam.
The probability of Lee Seo-jun being behind is lower than the probability of him being among the 20 people in front of .
But at least he wouldnt be right before him like in Yeoul Arts Middle School.
Right?
Woo Jae-hyuk was trying to read his script that wouldnt sink into his head because of his nervousness when the door of the waiting room opened.
Ill wait for you in the car. Call when youre done.
Okay. Da-ho hyung.
A man who seed to be his guardian and a familiar voice were heard.
The students in the waiting room looked up at the sound of a voice that was similar but different from what they heard on dia.
Holy crap. Its Lee Seo-jun!
It was Lee Seo-jun.
The students who saw him for the first ti, as well as Woo Jae-hyuk who saw him for the second ti after three years, gaped at the sight of the real star.
Lee Seo-jun smiled faintly at their dumbfounded reactions and sat on an empty chair.
Excuse
Hm?
One of the students who was near Lee Seo-jun bravely spoke to him.
Wow!
The eyes of the other students sparkled.
Can I ask you what your exam number is?
Lee Seo-jun tilted his head and answered.
? Its 542.
! I see! Thank you! Oh, finish reading your script!
? Okay.
542!
Hes the last one!
Woo Jae-hyuk and the other students breathed a sigh of relief.
And then they all took out their phones.
