Chapter 16

As the last grain of sand fell from the hourglass you felt your heartbeat increase, having skimmed through the pages of the script in a hurry but obviously being in a state that you didn't even remember the name of the female lead accurately.

His fingers that were hitting against his wooden desk rhythmically also didn't help much to calm your nerves that had rose at a high level. Your breath got stuck on your throat as he finally reached his hand out to take the script form you since your time was over and you hesitantly gave it back to him while thinking that you are so going to fail.

"Tell me the third line, page 52" He opened the scrip randomly and asked you casually and all you did was blink with an expressionless face one while you made a try to recall but obviously failed.

Jimin threw a glace at you as he waited a bit for your reply then shuffled the pages to an earlier on, thinking that you might not have even reached at that page.

"What about fifth page. The first line that the female lead says." He spoke and once again you just remained quiet,feeling your hands growing sweaty.

"Ah~ Seriously? What were you even doing this ten minutes?" He left an exhale escape his lips before he proceeded to speak in a scolding manner. The annoyance visible in his facial expression.

"Tell me the names of the mane characters?"He questioned and you light up a bit, thinking that you could answer that.

"SangKyu, Ra HiAh first leads. Narhae and JaeSang second leads."

"It's Narae not Narhae."Jimin corrected you as his gaze became strict and unfriendly. He looked as if someone had offended him and was ready to put that someone in their place.

"How did you get accepted in the company? You have connections, don't you?" He asked you and you shock your head in  denial out of reflex.

"Oh come on. You are at zero at acting. How do you expect to work as an actress if you can't even memorise a name in ten minutes? Yah , is this some kind of joke to you? " He stood up from his chair looking rather annoyed and somehow even though you understood that he may have a point to be annoyed, you still couldn't help but dislike his behavior.

"Look.So what if I am at zero. Your job is to teach me. That's why I was assigned to you. So instead of being bothered by it, how about we talk it out and think of ways to improve my skills." You dared to speak at him, as calmly as you could and stangely he stared at you in silence for a moment then he broke into a smile.

He walked towards you and leaned back on his desk, now right in front of you, his smile still hanging at the corner of his lips, mockingly.

"Skills? What skills? Where did you saw any acting skills in you?" He uttered and even though you were not an actress nor you had any interest in it, somehow the way he was looking at you, made you feel offended.

"You shouldn't look down on people. There is nothing that I cannot learn if I want to."You told him now with determination in your eyes and a slight anger towards him.

"Of course you will. Since you are under my wing, you will either learn or die. "He replied, his use of words a bit over dramatic according to you but for some strange reason you couldn't help but think that he may mean the literal meaning of them as well.

"I will give you some books. Make sure you read them. Leave me your contact information so I can send you some memory drills cause it's pretty weak. "Jimin turned around and spoke while walking to the library that was placed after his desk, covering one side of the wall.

He stood there for a bit, letting his gaze trace the books, probably looking for some specific ones while you took the initiative and grabbed a sticky note from his desk and a pen and wrote down your email and phone number.
