Hearing his harsh words at her, the young miss’s smile immediately disappeared as she stared at him while slowly going ahead. But suddenly she started laughing, unrestricted.

“Oh. It’s been a long time since I laughed like this while talking with a boy. You know what little Joon-won, you are right. I shouldn’t tell others to not get cocky when I am cocky myself. I hope we can talk a lot more in the future because I am very interested in you.” and stepped on the gas as she drove off into the distance.

Joon-won frowned when he heard her words. Even though he didn’t know the girl much, he did not like how she barges into a person’s personal space. He didn’t like it when she called him little Joon-won. He didn’t know her enough for her to call him that.

He shrugged it off in the end and only hope that she does nothing crazy. He reached home, changed clothes, and sat on the couch. He massaged his muscles to ease the pain before standing and walking out for another run. He couldn’t stop just because the muscles pained. If he continued, they wouldn’t pain.

He went through the same route again, went to the park once again, and ran back after doing a few exercises there. Eating some dinner, he turned the television on to watch some movies once again. But before that, he cooked himself a nice bowl of healthy salad and sat to watch.

After watching another movie, he went right to bed. He had no job the next day and could sleep all he wanted. He didn’t keep any alarm and went into a nice sleep.

The next day, he woke up, and it was already 9. He brushed his teeth, washed his face, and went out for another jog. As he had the time, why wait till the evening. This time he went a long distance as his body was slowly getting used to it and by the time he got back, he was sweating completely.

As he was about to enter the bathroom for a bath, he noticed the pile of worn clothes in a bin and took them all before dumping them into the washing machine. He couldn’t wear dirty clothes and so he had to clean them and throw them to dry before leaving the house.

After getting all of them into the washing machine and turning it on, he finally went into his bath. As he got out after quite a while, steam poured out because of the hot water and he looked to the side and saw there were still a few minutes for the clothes to get done.

Wearing some fresh clothes, he cooked up some quick breakfast with bread, eggs, and fruit. After having the meal, he picked up all the clothes and spread them on a stand he had for them to dry out on the balcony in the sun.

He checked the time and noticed it was already 12. He texted Jung-hwa and immediately got a reply. He asked where was the practice because he heard that the last rehearsal would be in the auditorium where they can to perform the next day.

Jung-hwa confirmed his thoughts and said it was in the auditorium. Joon-won, who had no idea where the auditorium was, could only ask her to pick him up at the gate, to which she agreed. Walking out of the house, he reached the university gates quickly and saw Jung-hwa waiting for him.

“You really are late aren’t you,” Jung-hwa commented as she led him through the campus.

“I stayed up and watched a movie last night and I also didn’t have work today so, it all went together. Anyway, how is practice at the auditorium, and at which part is the drama at now?”

“It is more comfortable in the auditorium compared to our class, as it has more space and a big stage to move around and act. The drama is still a few scenes away from your scene today. So don’t worry.”

“What, it still hasn’t reached my scene? How late did you guys start?” it confused him because they generally start the practice at 9 and if they do it without interruptions it should have been his scene by then.

“Oh, yeah, now that you mention it, I completely forgot. Why didn’t you turn on the sound on your phone? I tried calling you a few times.” she stared at him.

Joon-won remembered that it was the case. He saw those missed calls after taking a bath and ignored them, thinking it probably wasn’t important because they were from Jung-hwa. But now, hearing her, it seemed like it was pretty important.

“Alright, tell me. How are you calling and the practice delaying interlinked? It’s not Roh Ji waits for even a small role like mine to come before starting the practice.”

“Ah, we reached. Let’s go inside. You’ll know the reason once we enter, anyway. I was quite surprised by today’s events though.” as they entered the huge auditorium. Joon-won followed her as they made their way to backstage.

People noticed him come in and started whispering among themselves while covering their mouths with their hands. He wanted to ask Jung-hwa once again but saw her pointing at something at the seats in the auditorium in front of the stage.

As he peeked towards the seats, he finally saw the reason and as he did, it almost made him curse out loud. It was the same Young miss and master who came to the store yesterday. They were sitting in the seats watching the practice while Roh Ji was beside them with a flattering expression.

“They came this morning as we were about to start the practice and that senior asked for you. I tried calling because the young master there didn’t allow us to start practice. But the young miss agreed for us to start as they sat there watching the practice, waiting for you. What did you do Joon-won? Those are Star batch seniors from 2nd year.” as she pointed at the young miss who asked for him and Jung-hwa now had a completely worrying expression.
