The Journey of Love by an Idol

Episode 94

The clock shows the early hours. Daehyun and the crew had already started filming since morning. Right now, they would finish two more scenes before closing the session today. They will have two days off before resuming filming.

For the crew, those two days were holidays that they could use to prepare for the filming of the next scene. As for the main actors and actresses as well as writers and directors, they will use the two days to promote and complete the magazine photo shoot as part of the promotion.

Daeun moved towards the waiting room to pack up some of Daehyun's items. That girl is not the only one. Some managers also appear to be packing the goods - the goods of the actresses and their actors who have gone home first.

The two remaining scenes are Daehyun scenes with two supporting cast members playing teacher characters in the counseling room. This scene does not require much energy, but a lot of dialogue.

Immediately after packing Daehyun's belongings, Daeun headed for the parking lot by passing through the hallway which would also cross paths with the changing room for the supporting cast.

“Of course I intentionally. Hah.I can't bear to hear Hyunjoo's name coming out of that man's mouth. Who does she think she is?”

Daeun faintly heard someone's voice from inside the changing room. Since there is the name ‘Hyunjoo’, Daeun stops and tries to steal the listen.

“Jang Hyunjoo, it turns out he really has a new man. I don't know if he is Kang Daehyun or not. I'm trying to make sure. Sure oes. When do you need it? Then, we meet at the club of the usual place. I'll give it to you. Take it easy, this time with a cheap price.”, said Min Hyukjae.

Yes, through the slight gap in the door, Daeun was finally able to figure out whose voice she heard.

‘What does that mean? Why was he talking about Daehyun and Hyunjoo?’, Daeun fell silent while thinking.

He was curious so that he was not so focused and accidentally kicked the trash can that was there. Of course, Hyukjae was immediately surprised and tried to make sure. Before Hyukjae got to the door, Daeun had already run to find a place to hide. Luckily there is a curtain that separates clean equipment and some tools there. Daeun tried to hide in that place. Due to the extremely dark area, Hyukjae who had already gotten there had no intention of searching. It is likely just animal sounds.

The dressing room for the supporting cast was unlike the dressing room of the main cast. Not only is it located at the end and isolated, not a little one or two animals such as rats pass there.

‘Ah.. what do I do. It's almost.’, Daeun said as she took her breath.

Along the way to the van, Daeun thought what Hyukjae meant.

‘Intentionally? What does he mean intentionally? They had only met for the first time. I remember Daehyun saying that. But not with Hyunjoo, it seemed like the two of them knew each other. Hm.. does he already know that Daehyun and Hyunjoo are dating?’, Daeun keeps thinking about that while waiting for Daehyun to finish filming.

“Wuah.. handsome and beautiful are the main cast of our school drama today. Daehyun-shi, this is the first time I've seen you in the middle of a formal event.”, tease MC on Daehyun who looks neat in a national athlete's sports uniform as well as the other actresses and actors with High School uniforms adjusting.

“Please introduce yourself first.”, said the MC once the players have managed to occupy their place.

At today's event there are 5 main cast members who were invited to attend the official press conference after the drama aired on one of the private TV stations.

“Annyeong haseyo, introduce me as Lee Dohyun, the national athlete who was forced to bury his dream due to injury, Kang Daehyun-imnida. Nice to meet everyone.”, said Daehyun giving respect and a smile.

“Annyeong haseyo, I am Kang Hyejin, a new transfer student who later became curious about and became close to Lee Dohyun, Jang Hyunjoo-imnida. Happy to meet everyone.”, Hyunjoo who looks beautiful and fresh through his latest drama is seen wearing a high school uniform.

The appearance is considered new because not long ago it is still seen in a drama that is currently finished as a supporting actor.

“Hyunjoo-shi, the character of the Crown Princess is still attached to you despite being a supporting cast. What do you think when offered to be the female lead in this teen drama?”, asked the MC who had started the question and answer session.

“I see it as a good opportunity. Although I was initially scared because this is the first lead role I have taken since debut, but I will work hard to give the best image through this drama.”, replied Hyunjoo perfectly.

“I'm sure everyone can't wait to ask Daehyun. But, wait a minute. I'm interested in asking Gamdong-nim. What made you casting Kang Daehyun who is the vocalist of the band. This is his first acting debut and you instantly made him the lead?”, asked the MC excitedly.

“This is the first time I've said it. My son is a fan of Triple Kill. Unfortunately, not Kang Daehyun, but Lee Hyun Woo. I once accompanied my daughter to their fan meeting. And somehow when I read the story of the writer of this drama, I imagined Daehyun-shi.”, replied Gamdong-nim and made the audience there oh-oh ria.

“Really?”, asked the astonished MC.

“Gamdong-nim-ease.. Really?”, asked Daehyun who followed.

“Can you read the script immediately after attending the fan meeting?”, asked the MC directly.

“Oh.. is that right? How the hell did you know? I was accompanying my daughter. There were some people in the backstage who knew me and we had a chat in the back. That was when I accidentally crossed paths with Daehyun. He made a good impression at the time. By chance the script came and I really wanted to read it. And the main cast portrayed by writers-nim is very much in line with the image of Daehyun I just met this afternoon.”, said Gamdong-nim.

“Wah... What do you think, Daehyun-shi?”, tannya MC directly threw a question at Daehyun.

“Huwa. To be honest, early Pilsung Daepyo, ah.. The CEO of my agency offered me this drama, I was very surprised. Eh? We're just one year into our debut and there's been an offer of drama? I was honestly afraid to take it. I have no background acting at all. Just a few small roles at school. I already want to refuse for fear of not being able to.”, Daehyun explained.

Flashback when the drama offer comes 

“Daepyo-nim apiece.. I'm not an actor. I never studied acting. I was afraid that I would break expectations and not meet expectations.”, Daehyun said as he read the title of the drama script given to him. 

“Yaa…. You're so confident. The gamdong-nim will be casting you first. You just need to learn some dialogue and try to do it while the casting takes place. If this drama succeeds, Triple Kill will also skyrocket. Think of it as a means of promotion.”, said Pilsung Daepyo. 

“Daepyo-nim apiece.. But.”, Daehyun is still unsure. 

“You come casting in two days, or I won't give you permission to buy a PC and move apartments.”, Pilsung said immediately giving a warning. 

“Eh? What does this have to do with both of those things. That's my personal business. You didn't give me any money either. I bought it myself.”, reply Daehyun. 

“I will pay your apartment down payment if you pass this casting.”, arrive - arrive Pilsung give a promise that makes Daehyun immediately interested.
