Joon-won’s face was ugly as he saw the young miss. He never liked persistent people. Seeing her sitting there even after he insulted her like that yesterday, he hated her. He could also notice the hate in the young master’s eyes as he looked at the practice. It was like he was looking at a few low-born.
“Leave it. Nothing to be concerned about. Those two are two persistent idiots. Let’s just continue to practice and go home after we are done. Did you have lunch?” he asked Jung-hwa. He decided to ignore the two and simply go back home after completing the practice.
It shocked Jung-hwa at how easily he brushed off the two seniors. She saw how courteous Hyeong Myung was when they both entered and asked for Joon-won. The same Hyeong Myung who acts like he is the king of their class just because she knows a few people in the Star Batch of the first year.
“Are you going to ignore them just like that? We both came to this city from a small town and with no background. We shouldn’t cross paths with them Joon-won.” she cried out more worried. She was concerned at how nonchalant he was about the situation.
Looking at her concerned face, he shook his head with a wry smile. He then heard people calling him for his part and said to her, “Alright, they are calling me for my scene. Don’t worry too much about it. I got it covers and think about where we should eat lunch at.” and walked away without giving her another chance to reply.
He went to the edge of the stage and watched as his scene was about to start. He already noticed two intense gazes on him. One was fierce with hate and jealousy in them, and the other was an irritating gaze. It was easy to find out which one was whose, as he saw Roh Ji point at him from the corner of the eye.
He ignored the two as his scene started. Walking on the stage once again, he forgot about everything and felt he was back at his home. He felt like the first time he was on a stage all those years back. Taking a deep breath, he started acting and his face changed to that of hate and jealousy as he spewed out the dialogues in hate, watching the two leads in the distance.
Finishing his part, he walked back and noticed the seats were now empty and he didn’t need to guess where the two went, as he saw them when he exited the stage. The young miss had the same teasing smile even after what happened the evening on the day before, while the young master was looking at them with hate.
“I didn’t think you can act so well, little boy. Very interesting. Come, let’s go ad have some lunch this young miss is feeling a little hungry.” she said as he got inside. Now everyone’s eyes were on him and he noticed the surprise in Hyeong Myung and Roh Ji’s eyes.
He glanced at her and replied, “I need to decline your offer, young miss. I already have arrangements to eat with someone and my part in the drama is not done yet.” as he sat beside Jung-hwa.
He could feel Jung-hwa’s body stiffen as he sat beside her. The young miss stared right down at both of them and said, “Oh, is this girl your girlfriend? She can join us too, little boy.” she glanced at Jung-hwa a little before turning back to him.
‘Why is she so goddamn persistent? I wish I can kick this woman to the ground.’ he cursed.
“Young miss, please leave us alone. What she is to me doesn’t matter, especially to you. I am sure the man beside you would love to take you out for an extraordinary lunch and I would not like to get in between both of you. Please stop these antics and continue on with your day.” he didn’t hold back as he glanced at the young master behind her. He noticed the idiot’s gaze became less fierce after he said that.
“Yes, come let’s go and have lunch at Nine-palace. I heard the head chief would cook your favorite dish today. Why waste our time with these poor idiots here?” the young master didn’t miss the chance and immediately asked her.
She didn’t respond to his words as she continued to stare down at Joon-won with the same smile. She glanced towards Jung-hwa, making her body stiffen a little once again, and said, “Very good, little brother. I know this girl right here is not your girlfriend. Look how scared she is. Well, it looks like you are really fun to be around. I’ll leave for now after seeing you acting in the other part but expect me to come to your exam tomorrow. I want to see you act more.” and walked out. The young master followed behind her like a dog and both of them left backstage.
Just as she said, she didn’t leave entirely and sat in the same seats, waiting for the drama to continue. The backstage was still completely silent as all looked at Joon-won in shock.
“Hey, bastards. How long should we wait for your shitty drama? Continue quickly.” they heard the young master’s roar from outside, waking them all up and scramble to continue acting.
Joon-won noticed Jung-hwa was still stiff and shook her a little.
“Ah! Joon-won, I finally know who those both are. They are really famous on the campus and both their families are very influential in the city.” waking up from her stupor.
Joon-won raised an eyebrow at hearing her and asked, “Who are they?” he knew nothing about those two, yet they know quite a lot about him.
