Chapter 3 – Auditions

It was a hot summer day. There was no air-conditioning, just a few fans hanging from the ceiling of the food stalls making a ruckus.

Outside, there was a wooden table where two men were seated. One of them had such a loud and unrestrained voice that those sitting within could hear him clearly.

Taehyung slung an arm around Jungkook's shoulders and laughed. "Your suit – really, it makes you appear handsome beyond belief!"

Jungkook laughingly scolded. "Get out."

Taehyung filled his glass with more alcohol. "It's been such a long time, if I'd known you'd left the army earlier I'd have come back sooner to take you out for a drink."

Jungkook sniffed and said nothing.

The two of them grew up together. After Jungkook joined the army and Taehyung went into business, their interactions had lessened but their friendship remained tight.

"Ding –"

A clear phone notification sounded.

Taehyung wondered, "Ying-zi, why is your phone still sounding, it's been almost a whole night."

Jungkook took his phone out and glanced at it. Sure enough, it's some unimportant messages from Lisa again. He hadn't managed to put his phone back when Taehyung let out an exclamation.

"Goddess Lisa?" Taehyung paused in shock. "That female celebrity?"

Jungkook didn't say anything, taking a drink on his own.

"Is it?" Taehyung looked at his indifferent attitude and smiled wider. "Hey, if it is, give me her number, I've liked her for a really long time."

As he spoke he opened his phone, digging out a photo from his album. It was Lisa's Weibo profile picture. On it she wore a well-fitted suit, her red lips slightly parted and her eye-line slanting up, at once handsome and sexy. "Damn, during the auction I'd intended to go chat with her, but I got held up by my dad."

Jungkook tilted his head and looked at the photo on Taehyung's hand phone for just a moment before he looked away again.

He raised his head and took another gulp before standing up, patting Taehyung's head as if he was patting his dog.

"You've passed the age where you need your dad to help you get a girl."

It was only when Jungkook was a distance away that Taehyung finally recovered enough to call angrily, "If you didn't want to, you don't have to give me the number! Why do you have to attack me personally as well?!"

Outside the auditioning room for 'Undercurrent'.

Lisa was looking at the script in her hand, muttering something under her breath. Close up, it was possible to hear her reciting the lines.

Her pronunciation was clear, reading aloud the lines in rhythmic tones. Jisoo, sitting beside her, couldn't help sighing with deep feeling that even the heavens wanted her to be an actress. Lisa didn't have professional training in this regard, but her ability to read off the scripts definitely crushed that of most other female actresses. She almost never needed dubs.

After going through the script once, Lisa took out her phone again. Sure enough, there wasn't any notification, but there was no disappointment on her face. Instead, she curved her lips up slightly and sent another message to Jungkook.

When that was done, she opened Weibo and looked at the trending topics. Then she realized that the news of an egg being thrown at her was gone.

That news had been a rather hot topic, not just because she had an egg thrown at her. More people were interested in Jungkook. The media had caught the scene when he had caught the egg, making that the main photo for this article.
