In this life, starting from a child role (199)
“The conclusion is that I was kicked out.”
Sang-il, who heard what happened with Hyeon-do, neatly summarized the situation.
He was so neat that there was absolutely no consideration for the other person in his words.
“Rather than being kicked out, the problem is that Hyeon-do went on a rampage alone.”
Su-hyeon subtly passed the responsibility onto Hyeon-do.
If there’s something you’re stuck on, it’s a beautiful, breezy and moral attitude to postpone it to a friend first.
However, his remark was not enough to make Sang-il understand.
“If it’s a class, you can just ask me to do it as usual.”
Crown provided various classes to Suhyeon.
It was because of Su-hyeon’s request to learn various things and accumulate them as experience, but since the type of class changed approximately once every three or four months, it was more like an experience to gain better knowledge than the general public rather than a sense of specialization.
It must have been an incomprehensible choice from Sang-il’s point of view since he tried to get Hyeon-do’s help while the system was already complete.
“It’s not that I don’t know how to play at all. “Even the instructor thought that it was not necessary.”
Although Su-hyeon has learned many things, surprisingly, he was passive in learning to play.
This is because the individual instruments you need to buy to play do not cost a dime or two, and even for pianos, wind instruments take time to make the right sound.
Since I was learning a sense of music through the violin, there were some parts that I didn’t necessarily touch on.
‘I did, but the violin has surprisingly many limitations.’
It is said that the violin is the second most commonly studied classical instrument after the piano, but public awareness of the violin is still far away.
It may have been seen as a talent once or twice in entertainment, but the violin was not enough to empathize with the other cast members.
‘If you draw it wrong, it makes a whining sound, which is quite a hurdle… Moreover, because of the price, it is difficult to easily lend it to others.’
The only place where actress Soo-hyun can show off her musical instrument skills is entertainment.
When hosting an entertainment program, the hosts often used different instruments among themselves, and in such a situation, an instrument that played several hundred times was not a good prop.
‘That’s why I was trying to learn the guitar… but it’s a bit disappointing to learn it in a short period of time, and asking Chaemin hyung for a favor…’
Chaemin took care of the celebrities in his agency without any sense of money, to the point where it would be appropriate to call him a business owner as a hobby.
In particular, they put a lot of effort into the teachers who teach Suhyeon, so they often brought in famous people from various fields.
‘Because Chae-min doesn’t know the extent of it, I thought it would be easier to find out about small things personally… but I never thought Hyeon-do would come out like that.’
Su-hyeon, who was complaining to Hyeon-do, suddenly remembered the ‘one class’ that Chae-min had been introducing to him and had been taking since he was young, and trembled.
The classes that started after receiving an audition continued to be rigorous, three times a week, even now, several years later.
There is no denying that it is an optimized class for creating beautiful lines, but considering the value of the teacher’s name, it was too much for Su-hyeon, who only did it as a hobby.
‘It’s true that it helps to quit, and these days, I don’t like and am scared of people pressuring me to major, but…’
Su-hyeon, who had strayed for a moment, noticed Sang-il’s gaze on her and reflected on how far the conversation had gone. .
“Anyway, the guitar teacher is, um. “If it’s okay, I’d like to look for it on my own.”
“The actor says he will solve the problem independently, so I feel like I want to stop him.”
“Chaemin, if you say you want to learn for a long time, I think they will hire a leading guitarist in Korea.”
“…If you’re our boss, there’s a good chance.”
Only after the story had progressed to that point did Sang-il nod his head with a somber expression.
Su-hyeon felt a little confused by the fact that mentioning Chae-min was more persuasive than any other words.
“If that is what the actor means. If you’re having a hard time, tell me. “Let’s find the right person.”
“If you can’t figure it out, you can learn from videos. “There is a good YouTube channel these days.”
“It’s a music class through video… It seems like the world is changing quickly. Well, I’ll end this story here and now let’s talk about last year’s profits…”
He stared at his smartphone for a moment, shook his head slightly, and brought up a story suitable for May.
Who knows what a 14-year-old child would know, but this was a process that goes on before delivering it to Jiyeon every year around this time.
Since it was an inevitable topic in capitalist society, Su-hyeon also listened quietly.

“…So, after the summer vacation starts, I will rent a studio, film daily, and handle the rest through editing.”
“That’s good, but I wish there were two more characters added at the end. And…”
Sunil looked at Soo-hyeon and Jeong-hee, who were having a hard discussion while leaning against the backrest.
Unlike the two who were talking passionately, he seemed like a stranger.
“I feel somehow left out.”
“what?”
“No, do you just feel like your friend was taken away by a junior?”
“Wow.”
“…Hyung, doesn’t Seonghee hate you when you joke like that?”
Su-hyeon subtly mentioned Seong-hee, the head of the dance club and their childhood friend.
The two started dating after helping film a public service advertisement, and even though they had known each other for a long time, they exuded the energy of a fresh couple… and it was a good topic to talk about only for Sunil.
“I don’t know. “She likes being with her friends more than her boyfriend.”
When the topic of his girlfriend came up, Sunil, who was relaxed, shrugged his shoulders and said some gossip that wasn’t a gossip about her.
These were words that I couldn’t tell if they were regrets or complaints, such as saying that it was hard to understand why women walked around with their arms around each other or hugging each other, or that they didn’t know why they were so friendly with same-sex friends while being embarrassed to do that with themselves.
“Isn’t it a similar feeling to rubbing shoulders?”
“When I see you wearing friendship rings with your friends, even though you didn’t even wear matching rings with yourself…”
“Hey, hey. You become ugly in front of your juniors. “I know I liked it for a long time, and I know it doesn’t work out as I thought, so let’s take it in moderation.”
When Seonil was about to throw off his sly mask and come out with sincerity, Jeonghee quickly stopped him.
Only then did he come to his senses and look at Suhyeon with a shy face.
“Oh sorry. Because this is secretly sad. “When I started dating, I made a mistake because I couldn’t keep the distance between my friend and my lover.”
“It’s understandable that you’re anxious since we’ve only recently started dating.”
“It’s really mature. “Hwanghee, follow my example.”
“It’s you.”
“ha ha ha.”
Sunil smiled warmly and strangled Jeonghee with his left arm.
Jeonghee also kicked Seonil’s shin as if she couldn’t lose.
Su-hyeon, who saw the scene where warm friendship was exchanged, lowered her gaze again and stared at the note where the discussion had just taken place.
My heart pounded every time I saw the work gradually revealing its outlines.
“Anyway, did you do well on this midterm exam?”
“Uhm….”
“Okay.”
Sunil, who won against Jeonghee, who had poor physical strength, asked the two without even a sound of breath.
Since the word “test” does not always have a good connotation, subtle frowns appeared on the faces of the two who received conflicting grades.
“Jeonghee, you should do more. “If this continues, I’ll fail my final exam before summer vacation and be forced to take summer classes?”
“…If it weren’t for the public service announcement filming, I could have barely gotten an average.”
“That’s no excuse.”
As Suhyeon watched the two seniors bickering about grades, she remembered the report card she had received the day before.
Because it was not that difficult, he obtained scores that were 10 to 15 points higher than the average in extracurricular subjects that pointed out key points above the average in all subjects.
It was not a bad result considering that I only solved the remaining homework outside of school without going to a private academy.
‘There was no overlap with elementary school subjects. ‘It’s still at the level of telling everyone where they will come from and then taking the test.’
Even as she thought about that, Su-hyeon thought of Ji-yeon who was happy and raised the corners of her mouth.
Before returning, I studied out of a sense of obligation to avoid being too special, but now I do it for the sake of someone who would be happy with my grades.
Even though I studied for myself, sometimes I was motivated by the joy of others.
“Hyung, it’s time to ring the bell, so let’s finish it quickly. “I don’t have time after school.”
“okay. “How much did we talk about earlier…”
At Su-hyeon’s dissuasion, the two stopped playing and gathered in front of the desk again.
The video shooting plan for the festival that will be held shortly after the summer vacation is over has been completed.

[Alex, thank you for this time. I think I had a good experience thanks to you.]
[What. Between friends. I can help to this extent.]
While Soohyun was busy every day with music festivals and school life, Hailey, on the other side of the world, finished filming ‘Dear My’ and began editing.
The official release is scheduled for next spring, and since all he had to do was adjust the already prepared storyboard according to the storyboard, he proceeded with the work leisurely.
[hmm. Is this an extra?]
[Huh. Because Sue is good at acting. I reported this before, but didn’t you see it?]
[I thought it was about Arthur or Leila because they were child actors…]
Alex muttered to himself and played the additional footage.
His expression was grave throughout as he saw Soo-hyeon’s sad tears and the touching embrace of the three.
[This is uncomfortable because I’m trying too hard to hold back tears.]
[Huh? But isn’t that nice? Philip’s narrative was lacking, and the justification for how he became such an active character…]
[Haley, my friend. That’s why you can’t do it.]
When Hayley, embarrassed by the belated criticism, expressed her opinion, Alex cut her off and stared at Hayley with a pitiful gaze.
It was a gaze that looked down at an immature child.
[Childhood is not important in romance. It goes too far to talk about family.]
[Alex.]
[Besides, he’s not white, he’s yellow… No, he’s a foreigner. You, too, fell in love with this actor’s acting.]
Hayley opened her mouth at Alex’s comment.
From past comments, Hayley did not know that he did not like Soohyun.
However, even after meeting Soo-hyeon, I never thought that Alex would make such discriminatory remarks.
Towards a mere fourteen-year-old.
[Alex Su’s acting was so great that the people on site recognized it. Look without prejudice. This scene will definitely be the highlight of this movie.]
[Well. Maybe that’s what you think. I don’t think you know much about commerce yet, but in commerce, this kind of narrative is a negative.]
[It’s different from a promise.]
[No! This is my deep desire for my friend to follow the right path.]
Hayley clenched her fists at Alex’s sudden betrayal.
Hailey, who was only a salaried director, had no power.
Investors and distributors believed in Alex’s name and invested in it, and it was also thanks to Alex’s help that Hayley, who was in the director’s position, was able to participate in the editing of this work.
However, apart from that process, Haley could not understand Alex’s intention to cut out a scene that could be the highlight of the movie due to his personal feelings.
‘I can’t beat Alex alone. So…’
Hayley, who was a bit timid, thoughtful, and even slow, looked at Alex with a steadfast look in her eyes that she didn’t usually see.
No matter how much Alex’s help was, this was his work.
To protect their children, parents sometimes displayed unprecedented courage.
[Then, let’s ask the investors about this.]
[What?]
[Let’s ask the shareholders which editing they like better.]
[Ha….]
Alex gave Hayley’s defiance a disapproving look.
Despite her friend’s piercing gaze, Hayley did not bend her trembling body.
