This Life Starts as a Child Actor Chapter 639

This Life From a Child Actor (639)

RING was a 7-member multinational boy group including two Chinese and one Dutch member.

All of them have been active since they were minors, and considering their debut year, they are even older than the popular boy group Blackstar.

No, it didn’t work.

‘It was disbanded two months ago.’

The popular group RING, famous for its strong fandom, faced a crisis a few months ago when two Chinese members transferred to a Chinese agency.

If only two members had canceled their contracts, the group would have been maintained somehow by going with a 5-member system or recruiting additional members.

However, the moment the team was shaken, the remaining members lost their balance.

‘One of them was on drugs, the other was studying abroad…’

As soon as the two members left, the story of one member’s accident was leaked through the media, and as the team collapsed, another member who was anxious about his future went to study abroad.

As the number of seven was reduced to three in an instant, it was difficult to maintain the group no matter how popular the idol was.

It was an ending that left the remaining members with a lot of emptiness and regret.

“I heard the drama filming is over. great job.”

“You’re having a harder time while filming.”

Suhyun, who was thinking about RING, greeted Lee Hyeon warmly as he approached her.

10 years is not a short time for a 26-year-old young man.

If you include my trainee years, I would have poured my entire teens and 20s into it, and I couldn’t even imagine what it would feel like.

‘Your skin is very damaged.’

It’s not just that the filming schedule is difficult and things are in such bad shape.

Even though he knew that, Su-hyeon refrained from asking if he was okay.

I didn’t want to reveal my friend’s sadness while people were looking at me with curious eyes.

“Hmm, Mr. Lee Hyeon. “Did you know Su-hyeon?”

As the two showed their flawless appearance, the director standing next to them appealed his presence by clearing his throat.

He asked Lee Hyun about the relationship between the two and looked sideways at Su-hyeon.

They seemed curious about the relationship between a top actor who had established himself through acting since childhood and a new actor who had just transitioned from being an idol to acting.

“We are high school classmates. “We were the best friends at school.”

Su-hyeon opened her mouth before Lee Hyun opened her mouth and put her arm around Lee Hyun’s shoulder.

The director came to visit me as soon as I heard about his visit, even though I had not contacted him separately.

Even without experiencing it, it was clear what kind of personality the person had.

‘It would be easier for Lee Hyun to secretly show off her friendship with this type of person.’

The broadcast film industry is never friendly to actors who have turned from idols.

RING was even disbanded with its popularity floating in the air.

There is no one better to chew on than a fallen star, so I wanted to be this kind of windbreaker for my friend.

“Aha, I see. “It’s a wonderful relationship.”

“thank you.”

While exchanging pleasantries, Su-hyeon unpacked the box of chicken she had brought in the trunk, saying that she had bought chicken because she felt sorry about coming empty-handed.

It was a good late-night snack for the filming team, who were preparing for the next shoot without having eaten dinner.

“Let’s take a break!”

“I’ll eat well, Actor Kang Soo-hyun!”

“Do you have soy sauce chicken? “Oh there is.”

“This grease… I missed it.”

Thanks to the generous order, there was no shortage of chicken and enough chicken was provided to the staff.

Su-hyeon separated from Lee Hyun and spread out the chicken on the table.

Since filming was scheduled to resume soon, the drink given was cider.

“Thank you for coming today. Chicken too.”

“What are you friends with?”

Soo-hyun blocked the conversation with a smile and a firm refusal, as if it were a director who wanted to join in. After lightly bumping the drink can, he put the chicken to his mouth.

It was convenient because it was boneless so there was no need to touch it.

‘Isn’t it better to ask if it’s hard?’

Su-hyeon put his mouth on the can and looked at Lee Hyun’s face.

I’m sure the group disbanded and I heard some worried comments here and there.

Indifference is sad, but excessive attention that makes it difficult to forget the pain is also painful.

I was wondering which attitude would be better for my friend.

‘…Let’s just stay.’

Su-hyeon, who had been in conflict several times today, chose to remain silent this time.

As this was an unusual visit, his intentions would have been immediately apparent.

Here, it was better to remain silently by his side rather than speak loudly to convey his sincerity.

‘It would be nice if I could talk a little more.’

It wasn’t this hard to take an advantageous position in a negotiation or ad-lib a line, but sincerely comforting a friend who had sunk was even more difficult.

“What is the scene we are going to film next?”

“Jaehyung, this is the scene where I’m drinking alone. “I was sad because I was betrayed by a colleague I trusted.”

‘Daydream’, which Lee Hyun is filming, was a crime action movie in which three men and women who fell to the ground for different reasons turn to crime to achieve one goal.

The main point of interest was the conflict between personality and values, and Lee Hyun’s character ‘Jaehyung’ was a successful analyst who lost his job after being betrayed by a colleague.

‘I had no reason to take on such a role…’

Su-hyeon remained silent while listening to the explanation.

The group had already disbanded due to the members’ betrayal, so there was nothing to say about even the role I was assigned.

‘I wonder if it would actually be more immersive… But in a situation like that, it might not be immersive, but it might be better because it’s a scene where you can feel sad to your heart’s content.’

Su-hyeon, who was choosing words in her mouth, left a stereotypical cheer saying that she would do well in the end.

I chose a topic that I could easily continue with, but it wasn’t easy.

“I enjoyed the chicken. Are you going to watch the filming?”

“If it’s okay with you. “This is the last scene, so let’s go for a drink tomorrow when we’re free.”

Su-hyeon stood up and invited Lee Hyun to have a drink.

Since the Pocha scene is the last part of Lee Hyun’s filming today, it seemed like a perfect way to end the day with meat and soju.

“…It’s good. I know of a 24-hour meat restaurant, so let’s write about it. …For some reason, I feel embarrassed when you say you see it. Yunho is taking care of it.”

“Yunho.”

“Director Heo, do you have any plans for your next project?”

As a fan of director Heo Je-hee, Lee Hyeon’s eyes lit up when he mentioned ‘Wave IN Seoul’.

This appearance has not changed from my school days.

“That’s…”

“Hmm, Su-hyeon?”

Just as Su-hyeon was about to open her mouth, Lee Seo-dal approached her and cleared her throat and called out to Su-hyeon.

The gaze that looked at him cautiously contained faint expectations and greed.

“Perhaps… could you make a cameo appearance in our movie?”

* * *

Lee Hyun hasn’t been in a good mood lately.

Discord with other boy groups under the agency, disbandment of the group, subtle ostracism on movie sets, etc. It seemed like the world was pushing him into a difficult place.

‘No… there were no foreshadowings.’

As popularity rose, the members of RING, who had gone through ups and downs together, changed little by little.

While there are members who live in the same dorm and have not seen each other for nearly a month, there are also members who reveal their hidden true nature.

The gap that opened like that had already shattered the ring, and when I came to my senses, my dorm had also disappeared.

The memories and relationships they had together since middle school were very light for them.

‘Of course, I started acting because I felt anxious.’

Lee Hyeon, who has been concentrating on group activities, began preparing for acting in earnest last year.

This is because I sensed the atmosphere of catastrophe swirling around the dormitory.

Still, I thought it would be a temporary break, but I never expected it to be so shattered.

‘Even though we all live separately and don’t promote albums, we are introduced as members of RING. But it’s no longer RING.’

Lee Hyun, who suddenly became a ‘former’ idol, was blown away even on the filming set.

As he was cast as the lead role thanks to the popularity of RING, he was not RING but a kite with a broken thread.

Those who disapproved of him as an idol pretended to console Lee Hyun for his misfortune.

He didn’t hesitate to say, ‘Shouldn’t the cast be changed now?’

“Suhyeon.”

The atmosphere of the scene changed with the appearance of Su-hyeon.

‘I didn’t mean to show off my friendship.’

In fact, Lee Hyun knew from the beginning that this subtle rejection would be resolved if he put Su-hyeon forward.

Because the name of actor Kang Soo-hyun was not taken lightly in the film industry.

But he persevered.

Because I like both Soo-hyun, the actress, and Soo-hyun, my friend, I didn’t want to take advantage of their friendship in this way.

‘…I never thought you would come to me after speaking first.’

Su-hyeon did not ignore Lee Hyun’s situation, which he had been enduring so patiently.

Although he didn’t ask if it was okay, he deliberately visited the filming set and went out of his way to show off his friendship in front of the director.

I knew without saying that the intention was to comfort and support.

“If you’re free tomorrow, let’s go for a drink.”

Lee Hyun was moved to tears for a moment by his friend’s actions of being considerate of him until the end.

I had to start filming and I felt like I was going to cry.

“…It’s good.”

Lee Hyun responded as if nothing had happened and recalled the saying that fate is like a spider web.

It is true that RING was an important part of his life, but it was not everything.

Even if it wasn’t RING, there was a friend who would truly care for him.

“Hmm, Su-hyeon?”

When he regained his composure and woke up, the director approached him and asked Soo-hyeon to make a cameo appearance.

Director Lee was a bit timid and snobbish.

Soo-hyeon must have been a coveted prey for such a director.

‘I should just watch it separately.’

Lee Hyun blushed at the back of his neck.

I felt ashamed and sorry that I had caused trouble by calling him to the scene for no reason.

“well. If I were to appear in it, it would be a friendship appearance… I’m not close to the director, right? I’m not close with the director, right?”

Su-hyeon smiled leisurely as she looked at the director with a low attitude.

It was very refreshing to see him declare, ‘I’m not close to you.’

‘Is this vicarious satisfaction?… Soohyun’s name is definitely great in the movie version.’

I want to become an actor who can say everything he wants to say.

Lee Hyun was impressed by Su-hyeon’s remark, which opened his mind.

It seemed like the sadness that had built up at the scene was melting away just a little.

“Oh, hmm, that’s right. …Mr. Lee Hyun… I think it would be perfect if Kang Soo-hyun took a scene with us. Ah, in the scene that Lee Hyun is filming, he is not drinking alone, but drinking with a friend. Even though I was betrayed by a colleague, I still have a friend who will pay for my drinks. Not all relationships are completely over. That kind of message. “It goes well with Jaehyeong’s character, right?”

While Lee Hyun was impressed by Su-hyeon’s answer, Director Lee Sa-dal, who was observing the two, called Lee Hyeon over and spoke words that were unclear whether it was a request or persuasion.

Director Lee’s attitude was so subservient that it was hard to believe that he was someone who always gave orders to Lee Hyun and let his temper go.

‘Soohyun gave me this… choice.’

The person who clicked his tongue when he mentioned Lee Hyun’s origins and asked if that was all he could do, is now looking at Lee Hyun’s thoughts.

Although the change was disappointing, I felt somewhat relieved.

I didn’t know that the depth of misfortune I had assumed because I couldn’t see the bottom might be shallower than I thought.

“I am….”
