This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 66

In this life,

Su-hyeon, who started as a child (66), grabbed the microphone and looked straight at the camera in front of her.

His gaze was straight, as if he was looking at a person beyond the screen.

‘I heard there were a lot of broadcasting accidents, but I never thought they would happen while I was there.’

Because it was a live broadcast program aimed at children, many unexpected accidents occurred.

It was common for a child who could barely connect to the phone to hang up or dial the wrong number, and there was even an incident where siblings fighting to answer the phone was broadcast on TV.

‘That’s why the hosts need to be quick… but they suddenly cried and missed the timing.’

In order for the process to proceed smoothly, the child should be patted appropriately before the child’s sobs fill the studio.

However, it was already too late to use that method, and the only options left were to pretend it was a mistake and hang up, or to appease the child being counseled and end the situation on a warm note.

‘First of all, I had to calm down, so I grabbed the microphone, but the problem is that I am young…’

Suhyeon was the youngest among the guests who participated today.

Due to the nature of Koreans who believe that age increases persuasive power, his words could easily be dismissed as childish or pandering.

‘Still, since he opened his mouth, I need to comfort him well…’

He came up with an appropriate strategy, and instead of a bright smile without wrinkles, he put a mature and subtle curve around the corner of his mouth.

It was an expression that was refrained from broadcasting because it was not childlike, but it was better to increase credibility.

“What did you want to do, my sister?”

Suhyeon asked quietly in a whisper.

The voice transmitted through the microphone was closer to that of a boy than a child, and was lower and calmer than usual.

It was the effect of the historical drama vocalization he had recently learned.

‘After all, if you learn it, you will use it all.’

Since most orthodox historical dramas are set in the royal court, they require not only a classic speaking style but also a dignified and serious voice.

It is a so-called cave voice, and the sound that resonates stably through abdominal breathing wraps around the listener’s ears, leaving a deep lingering sound like melted chocolate.

‘I can’t say it’s perfect because it hasn’t gone through a transformation phase yet… but it still has its charm.’

Unlike adult males, immature vocal cords were unable to produce deep, deep sounds.

However, the calmly refined tone resembled the sound of gentle waves coming from a conch shell and gave a sense of stability to the listener.

―I… Actually, I want to sing.

Jieun stammered out her dream.

The words that came to mind were random, but they felt more sincere.

‘Giving clumsy advice here would have had the opposite effect.’

Recalling someone’s advice he had heard before returning, Suhyeon listened to her words with only a small hint.

The way he gently comforted me without interrupting me was a great listener himself.

Perhaps thanks to letting out her emotions once, Jieun’s voice on the other end of the phone suddenly regained some energy.

‘The genre has become a bit strange, but it’s still heartwarming.’

He touched her remaining sorrow with a gentle voice.

Su-hyeon was too young to find a solution.

However, listening and empathizing was fully possible even at a young age.

‘Thanks to taking a break for almost a year, it’s not awkward. ‘It’s not bad.’

If you’ve been active for a long time, it would have been difficult to show such a twist.

In that sense, Su-hyeon’s break and return were well-timed.

“Jieun’s sister. Soohyun wants her sister to be happy.”

He did not hastily bring up hopeful stories or defend her parents.

I didn’t know anything about Jieun to say it in a boastful way.

In a situation where you don’t know whether the reason to study is because you are worried about your child’s future or because you are concerned about your own interests, the words you said as advice could have been poisonous.

Therefore, Soohyun brought out touching and universal values.

“So promise to be happy with me.”

Soohyun held out her ring finger toward the screen and smiled while making a snatching gesture.

As a soft and kind smile filled the screen, a faint voice came from the other side of the receiver saying, ‘Hey, promise…’.

“Our friends! “Even if it’s Hana Bona, I’ll support my friend Ji-eun!”

“Our friend Soohyun is so dignified! Bona is so proud of our friends!”

As the conversation ended warmly, the MCs who had been paying close attention came in at the right time.

I don’t know when it was prepared, but there was a soft background sound in the studio, and the consultation corner that almost ended awkwardly ended quickly.

* * *

“Soo Su-hyeon!”

“huh?”

“this…!”

“ah.”

Suhyun stared at the gift presented in front of her.

The candy basket in the transparent packaging was quite expensive for an elementary school student to purchase.

“receive!”

“Kya! “I got it.”

“oh my god.”

The girls who came in a group forcibly presented Su-hyeon with a basket of candy and then ran away.

As he was handed the basket, he stared at the girls disappearing without even saying no.

‘…Is this a trend?’

After filming ‘Bonahana’, as Suhyun expected, all the students recognized him.

The teacher who taught the upper grades sometimes got autographs or took pictures together, and the children glanced at him with curious eyes.

When I walk down the hallway, I hear ‘Is it him?’ The sound was a bit burdensome now.

‘I’m glad there was no sign of bullying…’

Fortunately, there were no children who bullied or argued with Suhyeon out of jealousy.

Although there were children who often glared at me with jealous eyes, I was afraid of incurring the hatred of other children.

Su-hyeon, who knew the importance of early suppression, planned to run to the police station accompanied by her agency’s lawyer and shed tears if she was harassed, so it was a good thing for everyone.

‘But I’m a little tired.’

In ‘Bonahana’, he played a character like an older brother from church, and when he introduced himself on the first day of school, he abandoned the childish energetic appearance and showed friendly and adult-like words and actions.

The purpose was to reduce the sense of disparity, but Su-hyeon’s appearance stood out and was liked among children who yearned for adultness.

And the number of confessions received increased.

‘I guess it’s true that they confess because they like me. But he’s confessing like it’s a trend…’

There were few kids who gave gifts to Su-hyeon because they really wanted to date her.

Most of them came in droves, confessed their feelings, and disappeared without hearing a reply.

There were times when three people came together and confessed to each other, and now that they had finished talking among themselves, they gave permission to date all three at the same time.

It was a consideration that Su-hyeon did not want at all.

‘I don’t really have an old-fashioned view on dating, but what do these people think and do when they date?…’

He stared at the basket of candy in his hand.

It was shiny, but it was really difficult to deal with.

* * *

“It must be nice to be popular.”

“Don’t make fun of me.”

After hearing about Su-hyeon’s eventful school life, Chae-min burst out laughing.

It seemed like he was very pleased with his popularity, which was not his popularity.

“I think it’s cute to tease you.”

“It’s not a joke. “I don’t know what the kids are thinking…”

“There are a lot of presents coming to you these days.”

As Su-hyeon strangely calmed down, Chae-min slowly changed the topic.

This is because it is better to talk about something fun than to keep bringing up something that cannot be solved.

Su-hyeon, who realized his intention, left his school work behind and stared at Chae-min.

“Are there a lot of people coming in?”

“huh. I think there were quite a few people who saw Bonahana together while taking care of their younger siblings. There are a lot of people who became fans after seeing him affectionately comforting his older brother. “Do you know that you’ve been called ‘younger oppa’ these days?”

“Younger brother…?”

“Even though he’s younger than me, he’s my older brother in spirit. “The kids are really good at making words.”

“….”

Chae-min, who had been giggling for a while, held up her phone screen and showed the gifts that Su-hyeon had sent her.

Sweet snacks like cookies and candies were the most common, and there were quite a few things like doll flowers.

‘Mom and Dad will like that.’

There were also quite a few cups and fancy goods with Suhyeon’s face on them.

The quality was as good as the idol goods made by the company because only the best scenes were selected.

“I guess people have been saying that you like sweet things. “There were a lot of people sending snacks and things like that.”

“Can I leave it here and eat one by one?”

“Oh, your mother said you would limit sweets, right?”

“yes. “I go to the dentist often, but my mom is very strict.”

“You have to be careful. “If you overlook it because you’re young, you’ll be hooked?”

“I’m eight years old now…?”

After chatting about the gift for a while, the cup in Suhyeon’s hand also became empty.

Just as Soo-hyeon was about to leave the president’s office, having run out of topics to talk about.

Chaemin called him.

“for a moment. I didn’t just call you today to chat, right? “I called you to talk about what’s next.”

“yes? But why tell me now?”

“To get to the point, there is no affection. Between us.”

“….”

Su-hyeon stared at Chae-min with salty eyes.

When I see him working, I want to respect him, but his actions do not make him a person worth respecting.

“But I haven’t figured it out yet. “The sharp teeth still need to grow out, and the teeth at the ends need to fall out.”

He looked sullen for a moment and then spoke in a voice filled with regret.

It’s been a year since the first tooth fell out and Su-hyeon’s teeth were still in the process of being replaced.

Maybe it was a variety show, but I couldn’t show off my teeth with a black corner in front of a camera that showed even my pores.

“Don’t worry, I’m talking about checking your dental records as well. Filming for this is scheduled for next summer.”

Chae-min poured out an explanation about the work, saying that she was only informed because she had to audition.

My father is a gambling alcoholic.

Grandpa always lying on the blanket.

A mother exhausted from life.

The eldest child goes away and doesn’t come home often.

The second child takes care of the youngest child and supports the messy house.

Lastly, the helpless youngest child whose babbling and daddy daddy are all he knows how to say.

The role of the second son, who grew up in such a shabby family, was the audition Suhyeon had to take.

‘It’s a family that seems like something I’ve seen a lot in novels dealing with modern and contemporary times.’

Suhyun narrowed her eyes and was lost in thought for a moment.

The setting was very familiar, perhaps because it was a typical family that was often seen in works.

“What about the content? “What is the title?”

Since this is a movie about a sad child who can barely support a gloomy house, it could be either a family rebuilder where problems arise and the family regrets and the family reunites to become a harmonious family, or a wasteland with no dreams or hopes.

It was obvious that it would be a pitiful role this time, so Soo-hyeon asked politely with a face that showed her interest had waned.

“The title is The Monster. “The synopsis is confidential.”

“…The Monster? “What about the director?”

“It’s director Jae-hee Heo… but he’s not famous because his previous works haven’t caught on.”

However, the answer that came back was enough to rekindle Suhyeon’s interest.
