: Inferiority Sense.

“England, do you know actress Son Hwa-won?”

I raised my head in response to CEO Seonghwan Kim’s question. It was after a conversation about an advertising contract. It’s only been a few days since I met Song Jeong-seok, but it looks like he’s already contacted me from his agency.

“The agency contacted me saying that England wanted to meet you, but they said they had already talked to you.”

“I met Jeongseok hyung before and heard his story. Son Hwa-won said she wanted to meet me, so I said okay. But I didn’t know if she would contact me again through her agency.”

“Song Jeong-seok, the actor you worked with in an independent film before? Somehow Sohn Hwa-won suddenly contacted me and even our Director Kim looked surprised. By the way, he was polite. The UK was worried that you might not have been able to refuse because it was Song Jeong-seok’s request, so they asked the agency again. Because it is.”

He is a man of upright character, both past and present. Even when an unknown minor actor asked the main actor for advice, he did not hesitate to give advice on acting.

-Don’t be too nervous because it’s a small role. Because the opportunity will come someday. The British Mr. I’ve seen definitely wouldn’t miss an opportunity. Don’t try to give up on your career as an actor. One day, the day will come when Mr. England will stand here.

In my past life, I was the only friend and fellow actor who felt inferior. But maybe I stayed away from him because I didn’t have a good interpersonal relationship.

“By the way, these days, this actress named Son Hwa-won is the blue chip of Chungmuro, right? Somehow, all the actors I’m keeping an eye on have England showing interest in you.”

“Was there another actor like that?”

“Do you know how many agencies England is waiting for your exclusive period to end? This friend of Son Hwa-won might not know either. It could be that England is trying to sneak a peek at you after receiving a notice from the representative of the agency.”

“I’m not that kind of person. But what other actor said he wanted to meet me? Siri, out of curiosity.”

“It’s a trade secret.”

When CEO Kim Seong-hwan pretends to lock his mouth with a playful expression, England suppresses laughter.

“That’s great. Please tell me to come to the filming set. I’ll be in Yongin for a while anyway.”

Most of the blue chips in Chungmuro have something special. A vivid sense of reality, a humorous quickness that ad-libs better than most comedians, and acting skills that make viewers gasp. Among them, actress Son Hwa-won’s talent lies in none other than her innocence.

“Thank you for your hard work on today’s shoot.”

If you can’t tell how innocent the man is, just look at the way he bows his head and greets each and every member of the filming crew. He has a white and pretty appearance, like a white student, and has a simple smile like that of a country dog on the corner of his mouth.

How could it be called a smile that evokes pure love among female fans?

“Hwa-won, you had a hard time filming the commercial today. And tomorrow I think I have to go to the broadcasting station for a meeting for my next project. Are you going to stop by the shop?”

“No, I’m going to see the producer and the writer anyway, so I think I need to stop by the shop. It looks more sincere and better if I just go in my usual clothes.”

“I’m saying that because you’re the original artist. Among the strictest actors, there are some who can’t leave the house without full makeup on.”

“True brother. Have you ever contacted Songwon Entertainment?”

A curious look is evident in Son Hwa-won’s eyes.

“I was going to tell you anyway. Actor Jang said that he can’t make time to meet separately right now because his schedule is busy. He said he would rather come to the filming set if we have time. I was afraid you might be tired today, so I was going to tell you later, but he’s probably in Yongin by now. “If you go, you will be able to see him filming.”

“Is this really a filming location?”

“Yes, but are you really going to ask Actor Jang for advice? It seems pointless to me, but you want it so much. To put it bluntly, Jang Yeong-guk, that friend, was so excited after meeting him well in his work, and Hwa-won, you’ve now made your face known in Chungmuro through dramas.” “Once you advance, you will be able to gain wings. As a manager, I see that Hwa-won is not inferior in any way to you and Jang Young-guk.”

Son Hwa-won smiles at the manager’s words. In fact, he doesn’t know that his manager says that for him. Whether viewed objectively or subjectively, it was true that he was much inferior to actor Jang Young-guk.

It is only now that it is gaining popularity by being called the blue chip of Chungmuro, but in fact, it was an undeserved nickname. Who would have known that the white and pretty appearance that was popular during her childhood days would be such a hindrance to her.

“It is the king’s command. Instead of holding a contest for seven days, learn truthfully about the corruption of officials and the lives of the people that is secretly practiced throughout the country. That is the task that I, the king, give to the gods!”

* * *

Son Hwa-won stands blankly in front of a vending machine located on one side of the set. This is because it was difficult to watch the filming site any longer. The more I looked, the more an unknown feeling rose up in my heart without me even realizing it.

He was obviously around the same age as me, but Jang Young-guk’s acting was enough to dazzle the viewers. He walked with elasticity rising to the tip of his chin and his trembling fingertips clenched into fists. Otherwise, I felt like I wouldn’t be able to overcome this feeling of inferiority.

“Are you here?”

How much time has passed? England, who had already finished the scene, came to Sonhwawon. Son Hwa-won unconsciously lowered her head at the sudden appearance of England.

“Hello. I’m actress Son Hwa-won. I’m sorry for suddenly coming to the set. I wanted to meet Jang Young-guk.”

“No, I already heard from Jeongseok. Well, you’re three years older than me, so feel free to talk. Anyway, it’s really amazing. If you walk ten meters, you can see the big eaves of the palace, and there’s a vending machine like this.”

This was someone who came straight to see him, only changing his clothes. Son Hwa-won seemed to have a mountain of things she wanted to ask England, but she couldn’t get them out loud. Anyway, I felt so inferior while watching the filming. Perhaps as if reading that thought, England tried their luck first.

“I heard Hwa-won had something she wanted to ask me. It’s probably related to acting, right?”

“Yes, I can’t get the thought out of my mind that my acting is too stereotypical. I talked to other senior actors at my agency, but I couldn’t really resolve the issue. Then, by chance, I saw a movie starring Mr. England. He’s obviously about the same age as me, but I was speechless because I was amazed how he could become such a different person for each role he played.”

‘Honest.’

That’s what England thought as he looked at Son Hwa-won. Just as she gave him honest advice in her past life, Son Hwa-won is an unaffected person. An actor would probably not want his secrets revealed, but he reveals his inner feelings like that. Especially now. England was not unaware of the problem he was worried about.

‘By now, Hwawon is probably worried about his image.’

He was obviously a male actor, but ironically, he became famous for his innocence. Because of that, there were limits to the roles he played. Most of them were roles of similar color. It

was obviously a problem that would be resolved as time passed and his acting naturally improved, but it was not for the person involved. I guess it was. After a moment of silence, England gives advice that Son Hwa-won had given him in his past life.

“Actually, I’ve seen all the movies that Hwa-won appeared in. From the dawn of youth to Christmas in November on Earth.”

“It’s a shame. Compared to his age, he has a lot of filmography, but all the roles are similar.”

“What are you embarrassed about?”

“Yes?”

I didn’t understand. Why he was so embarrassed.

“Other actors played the role that Hwa-won played. There are many people who try their best to do something because they want to do it. If Mr. Hwa-won feels ashamed of the roles he has played, wouldn’t it be a huge disrespect to the other actors and the director

? ”

The fact that you are ruining it. Soon, Son Hwa-won felt as if cold water had been poured on her head at the words that followed.

“Just as a chrysalis molts and becomes a butterfly, so does acting. Don’t try to be too bound by the limits you set for yourself. In my view, Hwa-won is an actor who is more valuable than the limitations she has set for herself. Someday, you’ll be able to break that shell.”

Just then, the assistant director signals that the standby is complete. At that moment, England takes out a paper cup filled with a drink from the vending machine and hands it to him.

“Drink and cool your head. “I’m sorry for speaking so harshly.”

Oh, I don’t drink coffee. Son Hwa-won almost spit it out without realizing it. But I was feeling more grateful than ever for this warm cup of coffee. England, who had been walking, turned around and did it again. He elaborates.

“Next time we meet, please tell me comfortably, Hwa-won.”

Hwa-won Son opens his eyes and nods his head briefly. Then, he looks down at the paper cup at the fragrant smell. It contains not coffee, but white coix tea.

“How did you know?” ?’

Son Hwa-won is surprised as she looks at the back of England moving away. How did she know that she likes coix tea?
