This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 2

In this life, they started as children (2)

They were so noisy that the nurse heard them, and after receiving confirmation from the doctor that there was no problem, they returned home.

Suhyeon struggled to get away from her parents who were sleeping with her and entered her room.

Affection between family members is great, but organizing complex thoughts was more important than that.

‘What I need now…’

After looking around the familiar yet unfamiliar room, he carefully took out the items he had hidden inside his clothes.

It was Ho-chan’s cell phone that was stolen while he was in a hurry.

‘I’m glad Dad is sloppy.’

There was no computer in Suhyun’s room.

It was unavoidable since it was only a four- or five-year-old child’s room.

‘If you don’t have teeth, you have to support yourself with your gums. ‘I don’t know if the Internet will be possible with an antique like this.’

He was elated, but then he looked at the feature phone, which was the size of an adult’s palm, with suspicious eyes.

To someone who was accustomed to smartphones, a feature phone with buttons was similar to a walkie-talkie.

A phone that is durable even after using it for over 2 years is a zombie.

‘Still, the security is shit.’

Suhyeon tried to think of good things.

Unlike smartphones, which recognized fingerprints, voices, and even iris, feature phone security only required a combination of four digits.

To put it a little exaggeratedly, it was like nothing, so it was easier to access the Internet than with a smartphone.

‘password. If you are a parent with a child, wouldn’t the child’s birthday be your password?’

Looking at the screen with only the time displayed, Suhyeon confidently entered her birthday, 1224.

And it was wrong.

“This… is ridiculous.”

He couldn’t believe the reality and entered my birthday again.

Just in case, I entered the year I was born, and since there was an error, I used Jiyeon’s birthday as well, and of course I included Hochan’s birthday as well.

But none of the numbers were passwords.

‘How can this be…?’

Su-hyeon was worried that her parents would break in if she made noise, so she struggled with her face buried in the blanket.

My father, who lacked affection, scolded me.

‘Of course, I also created a pin number that was completely unrelated to me!! ‘You can’t do that!’

Su-hyeon stared at the calendar on the screen, imposing a double standard that even if it was okay for her, her father shouldn’t be like that.

It was fortunate that I found out his age.

‘I’m five years old. It’s July now.’

I was 25 when the accident happened, so it must have been about 20 years ago.

I was excited about the future I had to rewrite, but it felt so white that it felt daunting.

‘Well, I lived a great life at some point. I just did as much as I could…’

He nodded, unable to overcome the sudden feeling of sleepiness.

I resisted fiercely, but the weight of my eyelids was infinitely heavy.

‘…I need to check my abilities a little more and then sleep…’

At some point, unable to continue his thoughts, Suhyeon collapsed on the bed.

* * *

“Soohyeon.”

“….”

“You can’t even pretend to be cute. “Eat it all.”

“It’s not Chuck. “It’s really cute.”

“It’s really cute, but it still doesn’t work.”

Jiyeon scolded Suhyeon with a stern expression.

I praise myself for being a sensible mother who knows how to scold no matter how lovely she is.

‘Why did you really take your cell phone with you? ‘Are you old enough to be interested in such things already?’

Su-hyeon woke up around 10 o’clock and didn’t know it, but his house had been in chaos since early morning.

Ho-chan, who was about to go to work, realized late that his cell phone was missing.

As an office worker, he couldn’t give up his phone, so he searched the whole house and was frustrated that he couldn’t find the phone’s location.

Ji-yeon, who was helping her prepare for work, also couldn’t help but feel frustrated when she received a phone call with unknown whereabouts.

After wandering around looking for the lost phone, they finally entered their son’s room, where they were able to apprehend the lovely but obnoxious criminal who was sleeping while holding the phone tightly in one hand.

“You shouldn’t take Dad’s things carelessly like that. “Today, as punishment, I eat ten anchovies and five bellflower salad.”

“Umm….”

“Do I have to chew it thoroughly and eat it well? “It’s good for your body.”

As Su-hyeon was just looking at the bellflower salad on top of the rice, Ji-yeon thought that he didn’t want to eat it and tried to comfort him.

Contrary to his thoughts of being strict, he seemed very withdrawn.

‘…This is normal.’

Su-hyeon, who was just looking at the side dishes, slowly put the spoon to her mouth.

The bitter taste of bellflower root spread in my mouth.

‘It’s been so long that I’m a little dazed.’

If you are close, especially if it is between parents and children, you may nag them to put side dishes on top of the rice or to eat well.

It’s not a very big deal.

Even though Suhyeon knew this in her head, her heart sank.

‘If you think about it, it was like this until elementary school, so it’s nothing special.’

There was a time when I received this kind of affection, but the fight before the divorce was so long and difficult that I forgot about it.

After eating the rice, he looked at the balloon flower that had come up again.

It was a side dish that I didn’t really like even after becoming an adult, but somehow it was delicious.

‘…I feel good.’

I’m surprisingly happy that someone is thinking about me and worrying about my meals.

With that in mind, Su-hyeon calmly accepted the side dishes Ji-yeon gave her.

It was a very quiet and peaceful scene.

* * *

After finishing the meal, Jiyeon handed ice cream to Suhyeon.

It was a snack that was only given to him as a reward when he did something well, as eating too much would make his stomach hurt.

‘No matter how cute the child is… isn’t he too soft?’

Every time Ji-yeon showed herself like this, Su-hyeon wondered if she had mistakenly fallen into a parallel world instead of the past.

And I hated the fraudster who was the starting point of my family’s collapse even more.

“Oh, I’m busy. Who are you? hello?”

Jiyeon, who was watching her son, was impressed by the sudden phone call.

I’m annoyed that the precious time I made by ignoring work time is interrupted.

However, she raised the corner of her mouth at the voice coming from the other side.

“oh. Aren’t you Team Leader Oh Hanna? me? I’m doing well. “You sent me a picture yesterday.”

Oh Hanna was one of the few former coworkers that Jiyeon stayed in contact with even after he returned to working from home.

A relationship where you can have private conversations and help when things are difficult.

Jiyeon, who quit the company, said, ‘My only regret is not being able to have lunch with you.’ The two were better described as friends rather than colleagues.

-senior! Please help me!

“Why again? “You are competent now, Team Leader Oh Hanna.”

-Don’t play around! It’s because I really can’t think of anyone other than my senior!

“It shouldn’t be urgent. I have to take a picture of my son eating ice cream right now. “Do you know how important this is?”

―Suhyeon! Is Suhyeon there too? Dear senior!

“Oh, it’s noisy.”

-Please listen to me for a moment! Our kid model got a puncture…!

When Ji-yeon showed signs of being cold, Hanna clung to her like an ex-boyfriend who broke up with her.

She cried as she not only explained her pitiful situation, but also continued to say that she would outsource to Jiyeon and that she would pay her well.

“Did you miss my child that much? You too…”

―Senior, yes? please.

“okay. Just hang it up first.”

-line…!

Jiyeon, who heard the situation, coldly cut off Hanna, who tried to persuade her further.

He had the attitude of a professional, dispelling the truth with expert skill.

“…after. “Mom is worried because Soohyun has so many places he wants to go.”

Jiyeon stroked Suhyeon’s head and spoke worried words.

Unlike the attitude she showed towards Hannah, concern appeared on her face as she looked at her son.

“why?”

“Aunt Hanna says Suhyeon is so pretty that she wants to use her as a model.”

Jiyeon relayed what she heard to Suhyeon.

Although it contained considerable fabrication and distortion in the Hedgehog Mom style, she believed she was conveying it correctly.

“…I guess that’s why you want Soohyun to come.”

Before we knew it, the original story of the kid model was completely lost and the story was completed as if we had wanted Soo-hyeon from the beginning.

If I hadn’t heard the conversation between the two, I would have believed that Hanna was abusing her authority to see Soo-hyeon.

‘…I don’t think that was what it was about.’

Of course, Su-hyeon, who heard the entire story thanks to Hannah’s loud voice, did not believe Ji-yeon’s words.

Su-hyeon stared at Ji-yeon.

His mother had an unexpected talent for making up stories.

‘…I didn’t know how to start, but this isn’t that bad.’

Although she was curious about Ji-yeon’s thought circuit, Su-hyeon focused more on Gwon-won.

Many child actors debuted through acquaintance Chance.

In a sense, I was lucky to have the right acquaintance at the right time.

“I want to go see Aunt Hannah.”

“He too. No matter how much I want to see you, I shouldn’t have made a space first and handled things like this. “Does our Soohyun really want to go help her aunt?”

“Thank you, Auntie.”

“What can I do to be so kind and loving? “Isn’t our son really an angel?”

Jiyeon hugged Suhyeon tightly.

It’s because I love the son who knows his mother’s worries and behaves politely.

A lot of it was distorted by my son’s stupid filter, but the morning of the second day of the retreat was peaceful in its own way.

* * *

“You are Soo-hyeon! Very cute! “I understand how you feel!”

“Thank you.”

“Oh my oh my. Where did you learn this foolishness? “Do you want some candy?”

“Where do you covet my child?”

“Oh my! Senior too. But Suhyun is really cute. Are you a senior kid? “Is your husband hereditary?”

Hanna gave Su-hyeon’s hand a bunch of candy, her expression softened and she joked.

As soon as Ji-yeon gave her consent, she sent a text message telling her where to go.

For fear of getting lost, I even went to the trouble of sending photos of the surrounding area via SMS.

“Do you really know what that lady is saying? They say your child should get at least 50,000 won more. When I asked him to come and talk, he said he was going to take pictures and see if I went there, but I made a puncture, right?”

“How much did you give me?”

“150,000 won. To be honest, I posted that much because I was told that I was in the movie twice, but I was fooled by that too. Not a supporting role, but an extra. Oh, just thinking about that woman…”

Hanna, who had been complaining until that point, suddenly hugged Suhyeon tightly.

“But I think it’s a happy ending because I met Soohyun.”

“Get away from my child. “Transfer germs.”

“Wow, am I a germ?”

“It’s worse than germs. “Evie Gigi.”

“Senior!”

Su-hyeon left the two whimpering people alone and ran towards the studio.

The scene of the studio that I often saw during my idol days unfolded above eye level.

‘…But it’s strangely shabby.’

There is a lot of high-end equipment, but for some reason it reminds me of the studio I visited during my Naga days.

He felt a little anxious and gave a belly greeting to the adults in the studio.

There was also a staff member who welcomed Hanna by asking, “Isn’t it Soo-hyun?” as if she had made her name known in advance.

When trying to maintain such a friendly atmosphere.

“Let’s hurry up and finish filming.”

A person who appeared to be a photographer interjected bluntly.

He, who was plastered with luxury goods, did not hide that he was annoyed by the delayed schedule.

The gathered staff members were dispersed and the child model was noticed…

The naturally soft atmosphere became awkwardly stiff as if it had never been like that before.

“Soohyun, you can follow your sister over there and change your clothes.”

“yes.”

It was true that there was a delay as the model changed, so those on site quickly began preparations.

As Suhyun put on a coat that matched the fall atmosphere over the clothes she was handed, the hair designer waiting next to her fixed Suhyun’s hair with spray.

The light makeup was a bonus.

“It’s just a little bit of powder… What do you eat to be so cute? “There are no other angels.”

The employee who handed Su-hyeon her clothes and helped her straighten her hair pinched her soft cheek a couple of times to make sure it didn’t hurt, and spoke as if she was jealous.

Just as she said, Suhyun’s appearance was cute and lovely.

His hair, neatly organized with spray, was like a cloud, the knit sleeves that slightly covered the back of his hands made him even cuter, and his red cheeks showed the vitality of a child.

‘It looks cute even to me.’

The silky hair became hard and pricked her forehead, but Suhyeon didn’t mind.

When I think of my hair that had suffered from bleaching dozens of times, the spray treatment was nothing.

‘It’s a little uncomfortable, but the fit is pretty?’

It was a design that adults would like more than children, but the buyers were parents, not children.

His job was to make these clothes as appealing as possible to increase the desire to purchase them.

‘I’ve modeled a few times, but children’s clothes… um. Well, I guess I just have to follow the author’s instructions.’

Knowing how a photo is being taken is a slightly different story than knowing how attractive your clothes are.

Therefore, Su-hyeon decided to leave that part to a professional.

…until about 10 minutes ago.

‘You’re going to pass that?’

Suhyeon, who smiled as requested, looked at the photographer.

The photo just taken was ambiguous even for someone who was unfamiliar with children’s clothing.

I couldn’t be mistaken because I was checking how the picture was being taken.

‘Even if it’s my first time as a child model, it doesn’t mean I haven’t filmed an advertisement.’

In some ways, it is harder for an idol who is not popular to survive for 4 years than for an idol who is popular.

This is because you have to smile at not only local events but also things that make you wonder, ‘Do idols do this?’

The same was true for advertising photos.

Although he wasn’t able to film the chicken game commercial, Suhyun also participated several times in the commercials of unknown small and medium-sized businesses.

‘No matter how you look at it, this guy is just taking a rough picture.’

When you live a thin and ambiguous life, something called notice arises.

Since it is easy to get criticized if you are distracted, you become aware of the atmosphere around you or the mood of ‘A’ at the scene faster than others.

Soo-hyeon’s sensor, trained in this way, alerted the photographer to his insincerity.

‘Aha, this is annoying, isn’t it?’

He guessed what the writer was thinking.

Child models, especially those under the age of 10, cannot accept 100% of what adults say.

That meant the author had to fill in the gaps and put in more effort.

However, the results were small compared to the effort put in.

It was dismissed as an ambiguous experience to include in a portfolio, and the travel expenses were not high.

‘So the kids think that all they have to do is look at the camera and smile.’

The fact that Su-hyeon is a beginner may have also acted as a factor in deducting points to some extent.

It was more common than you might think for a child with a ‘pretty face’ to become a model with a light heart.

‘I know how you feel.’

Suhyun smiled at the camera.
