Chapter 92

When I got home, I decided to look for ‘Kim Faith' right away.

If he is one of the best scammers among ghosts, he must be a fraud who made a name for himself.

‘Well, since he's a fraud, I don't think there's anything good to say.'

With that in mind, I searched for ‘Kim Faith' on the Internet.

– Faith Kim, film director…

– Kim's faith, actor…

-Kim Faith (kimb2live2), Instagram…

Unfortunately, however, I couldn't see the ‘Kim Faith' I was looking for. I changed the search term and looked it up as ‘Faith Kim'.

– We accuse the used land scammer of ‘Kim Faith'…

– Don't outsource it to him, it's muktu. "Faith in Kim"…

There were a few related posts, but there were no scammers who could shake up the country I thought.

"Is he a con artist who is not known to the media?"

I searched for a few more minutes, but nothing still came out.

"It's not that important."

I turned off the computer, got up, and headed to the bathroom. I wasn't too tired, but I was going to take a shower when I got home.

"When will the audition be for <<Absolute Unlicensed Counseling>>

After a brief shower, I thought while wiping off the water. Until now, auditions have always been a nerve-wracking ‘test' for me.

But this time it was a little different. Like the interviews of middle-aged actors I saw before, I was excited and looking forward to this audition.

"It's because of the expectation that I can smile with Faith Kim."

Kim's smile was so deep in my mind. A smile that made me feel that I wanted to be close to Kim, even though I was wary of Kim's belief as a "fraud."

"I'm sure Kim Mistrust laughed like this…?’

The eyes smiled with a crescent feeling as if they had closed comfortably.

Keep your mouth tight, but close it naturally until you have dimples. At the same time, if you pull your chin slightly to give the impression that you are respecting the opponent, it is complete.

"It's awkward."

But my smile in the mirror was not that of Kim Faith.

I don't know how to express it, but if I had to express my smile now, it was "sour and hard marshmallow." It tastes good if you try it, but I don't think you'll pay for it.

"Boooooo….”

After loosening the facial muscles by making his cheeks full, he smiled again. Let's hope it's better than before.

But it was still awkward. Is it because I saw the perfect model answer just an hour ago?

I couldn't help but compare my smile with Kim Faith smile.

And the more I did, the more I felt the wall.

<The Talk Show> SKC Broadcasting Studio.

The host introduced today's guest.

"We have two people who have been very popular recently. Park Hayeon of Red Liz, who made a splendid debut in the drama with "The Way They Chose"! And Ha Minah, who released her solo album, Just Like It. Hello!"

"Hello! I'm Park Hayeon."

"Hello! I'm Ha Minah."

The two of them greet each other in a similar but different way. If Park Hayeon greeted her with a calm feeling, Ha Minah greeted her brightly according to the mood of her recently released album.

After a light greeting, the recording began in earnest. The recording proceeded without difficulty because we discussed what to talk about in advance.

"It's a talk show that came out to promote my first solo album." "Why do I have to come out with Park Hayeon?"

Ha Minah felt uncomfortable throughout the recording.

Red Liz, is one of the most popular idols in Korea. Among them, she did not like her appearance with Park Hayeon, who is running at the top of the popularity list.

"It's been 3 weeks since <The Way They Chose> was No. 1 on Netflix. How…”

"Do you have any behind-the-scenes stories from the set?"

"Recently, highlights of Kang Jinseok's work were very popular on social media. What do you think about acting together?"

In addition, more than 70% of the questions were focused on Park Hayeon. During the pre-interview, I was confident about half and half or 6:4.

‘…' Tut.'

Ha Minah kicked her tongue inside. Of course, I didn't notice my inner feelings.

But there were things she didn't know.

In the first place, only Park Hayeon was invited to "The Talk Show."

However, Park Hayeon handed out pies for Ha Minah, who recently released a solo album.

Ha Minah, who did not know such a fact, had no choice but to chew Park Hayeon inside.

Fortunately, the host skillfully brought up Ha Minah's solo album in the middle, so it's a mess, otherwise, Ha Minah's insides would have been charred.

"With Park Hayeon's acting coming out quite impactfully this time, I think the other members of MAJOR 77 will have a chance."

When the recording was going on for a long time. To fill Ha Minah's portion, the host gave Ha Minah a chance to speak. Of course, this was also one of the questions discussed in advance.

"Ha Minah, don't you want to act?"

"Me too….”

Ha Minah thought about it for a while while talking.

Should I say what I prepared in advance or increase my volume?

Naturally, Ha Minah's choice was the latter.

"Actually, there's someone who contacted Hayeon before auditioning for "The Way They Chose." I didn't hear it exactly, but I think she was trying to get some help with the audition."

“…?”

"I don't think it will be easy to act because I don't have the connections to help me with the audition like Hayeon. So first of all, I'll stick to my main job, and I'll try it later if I have a chance."

The host, producer, and writers were slightly embarrassed by Ha Minah's unexpected words.

However, I blinked at the thought that something interesting would come up immediately.

The only thing that was nervous was Park Hayeon. Because she didn't even know what she had forgotten to say.

The host asked, leaning toward Ha Minah for the first time.

"Have an audition help? "To whom?"

"Kang Jinseok. Hayeon asked me before the audition. Help me pass the audition."

"If you asked me to help you pass the audition… Did I ask you to teach me how to act?"

Ha Minah smiled lightly at the host's question. On the contrary, Park Hayeon's expression was clearly stiff.

"Rather than asking me to teach you how to act, it felt a little different."

“….”

"Hayeon, how did it feel?"

Ha Minah's unexpected remarks made the atmosphere of the studio strange.

***

Three days later, Jang Sunho contacted me again.

[Manager: I'm going to the audition at the director's house tomorrow. I'm going to the audition at 11 o'clock, so I'll pick you up by 9:30]

It was a reasonable time, neither too late nor too soon.

"How are you feeling?"

"What? Oh, great!"

And finally, it's the audition day for <Absolute Unlicensed Counseling>. I was going to director Yeo Jaeyoon's house with my manager.

"Your skin doesn't look good. Did you not sleep well?"

"No, it's not like that…. Yes, I was strangely nervous and couldn't sleep. But it doesn't interfere with acting at all, so it's okay."

Actually, I wasn't in a good condition. I've been practicing for the past few days, but I didn't get a satisfactory performance.

But I couldn't help but practice. It was because I felt anxious and frustrated when I stayed still.

Jang Sunho stared at my face in the rear mirror.

"I see."

In front of director Yeo Jaeyoon's house we arrived a little early. It was a small castle-like mansion, invisible from the outside.

Jang Sunho rang the doorbell. Soon a middle-aged man's voice could be heard from the speaker.

Who are you?

"Hello, I'm Kang Jinseok, actor-manager, and I'm going to audition for director Yeo Jaeyoon."

Oh, you came a little early. Let me open the door for you. Wait a minute.

Immediately the gate next to it opened slowly.

"Let's go, actor."

"Yes."

Entering the gate, I saw a garden decorated with ponds and pine trees. Surprised that there was a house like this in Seoul, I followed Jang Sunho.

"Oh, actor Kang Jinseok. It's a great pleasure to meet you. It's Yeo Jaeyoon."

Then, an old man in simple clothes approached from afar. Director Yeo Jaeyoon, who met for the first time, feels warm like a grandfather at a chicken restaurant in "KFC."

"Hello, director! I'm Kang Jinseok. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to audition."

"Haha. I have to thank you. I really enjoyed watching "The Way They Chose". Your acting is amazing, I'm looking forward to today's audition."

Director Yeo Jaeyoon, who finished speaking, came out and guided Jang Sunho to the inside of the house. Director Yeo Jaeyoon said, handing a chair to Jang Sunho in the living room.

"Now, then the manager, please wait here. The actor follows me."

"Yes."

"I see."

As soon as he tried to follow director Yeo Jaeyoon's footsteps, Jang Sunho's voice was heard.

"Actor."

"What?"

"I'd rather have you an audition next time…".”

“….”

“…No. I'm sure you'll do well."

It was not like Jang Sunho, but it was a word that had a bitter aftertaste. Still, his expression was as usual.

"Yes, I'll do my best."

After answering confidently, I went into the room with director Yeo Jaeyoon.

It was a typical rich man's study. With a bookcase full of books and a bonfire, you can see a large desk.

There was a woman sitting at the desk whom I had never seen before.

"Is that the heroine of this drama?"

I knew beforehand that the director and the lead actress were auditioning together.

Before the other person said hello, he bowed his head first.

"Hello. I'm Kang Jinseok. I'll do my best!"

Nodding. The woman gave her head a little without saying anything. She might answer briefly, but is she usually quiet?

I don't think it's arrogant or malicious. At that time, director Yeo Jaeyoon clapped his hands and said.

"Well, there's nothing urgent, but there's no need to drag your feet. I'll watch the acting as soon as you are ready."

It means that you don't need a cliché of greeting. I also nodded, wanting to get rid of the anxiety I had suffered in the past few days as soon as possible.

"I see."

Before performing the role, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

I recalled the lines I recited dozens or hundreds of times in front of the mirror and the scene I created in my head.

I always had a familiar feeling before I was possessed.

"It's now."

I opened my eyes. Looking forward to seeing the memories and emotions of Kim Faith unfold before my eyes.

“…?”

But the view hasn't changed. I can see the face of director Yeo Jaeyoon and the actress looking at me still.

I closed my eyes again and focused.

"It's really now."

I got a feeling again. I opened my eyes right away.

“….”

But nothing happened.

"What is it?"

It's unexpected. I can feel the cool sweat flowing on my back.

Maybe because of panic, my heart beats so loudly that I can hear my heart pounding.

Suddenly, a word of Faith came to mind.

-…I'm a con artist.

I felt like I heard Kim Faith laughing at me somewhere.
