Become A Star

Chapter 105

“By the way, when am I going to get a haircut?” Woo-Jin changed the subject and asked about his hair as he touched it with his hand. He hadn’t been able to cut it because of his exam. As his schedule was free, Hwang Yi-Young took this opportunity and went on vacation with her family, prompting Woo-Jin to ask Kang Ho-Soo instead, but his response was rather lukewarm.

“You’re going to cut your hair?” he asked.

“My bangs are annoying,” Woo-Jin answered.

“You might film a historical drama in the future, so you should leave it alone,” Kang Ho-Soo suggested.

“...”

“I’m not saying that you should play Prince Myeong-Hwan, but you could possibly appear in a different historical drama,” Kang Ho-Soo said.

Woo-Jin felt like no one was on his side as he heard Kang Ho-Soo deny talking about Red Enemy. But it was understandable since no one really understood him. The unexplainable frustration that Woo-Jin felt caused him to feel burdened.

Red Enemy was the drama that CEO Jang Soo-Hwan was forcing on him, so Woo-Jin didn’t bother reading the script. Instead, he placed the script on one side of the room and tried his best to forget about it, but he couldn’t ignore it. To Chae Woo-Jin, Prince Myeong-Hwan was one of his past lives that he didn’t want to revisit, but as an actor, he couldn’t help getting curious about Red Enemy.

Since the new semester started, Woo-Jin was busy with school, and unlike before, where he was basically invisible, many people asked for him. Of course, he couldn’t attend all of the gatherings, but he did attend a few to express his sincerity by showing up. As a result, his social life improved a lot.

It had been a few days since he received the script for Red Enemy, but CEO Jang Soo-Hwan and Kang Ho-Soo no longer forced Prince Myeong-Hwan’s role on Woo-Jin. However, seeing how they didn’t mention visiting a hair salon, he could somewhat guess their thoughts.

“Mother?” Woo-Jin asked.

He arrived home late after attending classes and meetings and was surprised to see his mother reading something in his room.

“Oh my! Is it that late already? I read it briefly while cleaning your room…” she said.

After looking at the time, Park Eun-Soo stood up from her seat while holding the Red Enemy script. The script had sat in the same spot for a few days, and while she started reading it out of curiosity, she ended up sitting down and reading the rest of it.

“Did you read it?” Woo-Jin asked.

“Was I not supposed to?” she asked him.

Woo-Jin shook his head while smiling when she asked in shock.

“No, it should be fine as long as you don’t leak it,” he answered.

“Of course, I wouldn’t do something like that, but are you going to do this movie? Who will you be playing?” Park Eun-Soo asked.

“I did get cast for the film, but I’m not going to accept it,” he answered.

“How come?”

“I just don’t like it.”

When her son answered indifferently, Park Eun-Soo looked disappointed but agreed as if there wasn’t anything she could do to change his mind.

“The script seems great, but nothing can be done if you don’t want to do it. It’s said that even roles are part of one’s destiny. Anyway, did you eat?”
