Chapter 116

*** “Hi.”“……”“At least take my greeting.”“Yeah, hi.”She received his greeting as if it were her first time seeing him. Maru scratched his eyebrows and took a step to her side.“What, what is it?”She jumped in surprise and widened the gap. She has a cute side to her too, Maru awakened his mischievous personality for the first time in a while and kept inching closer. She didn’t know what to do and ran up the stage before stopping and sighed.“Is it fun?!”“Yeah.”“Seriously, I can’t live.”“We’re a couple, let’s stick together.”“C-Couple? Who? Me? With you?”“Are you not?”“…..”She didn’t deny it. Maru’s mood brightened and he tightly grabbed her hand to pull her to a side of the stage. The other students had yet to arrive, they were the only people in the open stage.“I like you.”“What, what, what?!”“Why are you so surprised? It's what you said.”Her face immediately blushed. So she was someone who reacted this simply when she was younger. In his past life, they had met when they were both adults. One was an actress who had lived her life in theaters while acting as cameo for dramas; the other was a road manager for such schedules. When she was old enough to know everything there was to know, she only snorted when he made these jokes. Rather, she had been the one to play pranks with Maru not knowing what to do.“Hi!”“You’re here early.”The entrance on the first floor opened and other students appeared. Maru slowly let go of the hand that he held. She took notice of that and pulled her hand back.“Aren’t you blushing too easily?”“What can I do when it’s genetic.”“Ah, mother-in-law also…..”“Mother-in-law?”“Nevermind, it’s nothing.”Maru faked a cough and ignored her glare. He vaguely remembered his mother-in-law who wrote romance novels. As she said, she had been someone who’s face easily turned red.“Don’t space out and warm up your throat and bodies.”Ganghwan stepped forward, behind him were five students who dreamed of becoming actors.“We’re going into practice in 20 minutes. Like we discussed before, we’ll be choosing roles and taking auditions starting tomorrow so be prepared.”“Yes.”“Then warm up your bodies and voice accordingly. I’m going to lie down for a bit.”Ganghwan spoke as he laid down on the floor. It wasn’t once or twice so the students shrugged and relaxed their bodies.
