This was whatinterest was, in the end.

Maru yawned as he looked at the others in his class.

Even though they bothered him every break time until a few days ago by talking about Ahn Joohyun, now they were talking about soccer just like always.

Todays topic was Park Jisung, who played for PSV which was based in Eindhoven.

“Take one each.”

Daemyung seemed to have visited the cafeteria as there was a bunch of snacks in his hand.

“Hows practice going”

Not too long ago, the acting club decided on the play they were going to do.

They chose a play from a list given by Suyeon this time as well.

“For now, there arent any problems.

The instructor is coming on time as well, but she says she might have a hard time coming in the future because of her drama schedule.”

“You cant do anything about that.”

An actress who actually worked in the industry was coming to teach them.

They had to be willing to take the consequences.

“Why dont you visit today”

“I was planning to.

The meeting in Anyang is a bit late.”

“Youre starting practice there as well”

“Yeah.

I just received the script yesterday.”

When he thought about yesterday, he was naturally reminded of Sooils smile.

Sooil greeted him with a kind smile just like he always did, so Maru did not say anything and went along like normal.

“Youre doing it with sir Yang Ganghwan, arent you”

“Yeah, but you can just call him senior.

Its really weird to call him sir.

Hes not even 40 yet.”

“I-is that so Anyway, sounds fun.

When will it be put on show”

“Were aiming for one month.”

“Thats tight.”

“People working in that field apparently finish their practice in a month or two with tight practice hours if its a short play, apparently.”

“Pros, huh.”

“Right, pros.”

Maru looked outside as he dusted his hands of the snack dust.

The sky looked really blue without a speck of cloud in sight.

Today, he was in very good condition.

“Its been a while since I last went to the club.”

“You really should visit often.”

“Fine.”

Just then, the front door opened.

That was the end of their conversation.

Maru turned his head to the textbook in front of him.

* * *

Aram liked Judo.

To be specific, she liked martial arts.

When she talked about K-1 or Pride FC[1], she would often hear people ask why girls like her watched things like those, and she always retorted by saying that a girls job wasnt to sit quietly and do stitching or something.

Sweat and passion.

Things that are done with the body were honest and you gained just as much as you invested.

Winning was only secondary, and what mattered was the sense of achievement.

“But acting doesnt go the way I expect it to.”

“What do you mean”

Jiyoon, who was hugging her knees next to her, asked.

“Acting, you know In my head, I can draw a clear picture, right I can imagine it clearly just like the excitement I get when I do a clean shoulder throw.”

“Uh, okay.”

Jiyoon clearly looked like she didnt understand, but Aram didnt mind.

She was really talking to herself after all.

“You know I do a lot of sports, right”

“Yeah.

Judo, basketball, table tennis, volleyball and lots of others.

You really do a lot.”

Jiyoon started counting with her fingers.

“When I do sports like those, I can always follow the image I have in my head to a certain extent.

At first, its hard, because you dont get as much as you invest, but if you keep doing it, you can feel the change.

You can gradually feel that youre getting better, right”

“Yeah, and”

“Thats not the case with acting.

I mean, honestly speaking, Im quite bad, am I not”

Jiyoon shook her hand in denial.

“No, youre really good.

I mean it.”

“There you go again.

When will you fix your habit of incessant flattery The world is not such an easy place!”

Aram grabbed Jiyoons shoulders and shook them violently from front to back.

Jiyoon groaned and closed her eyes.

Aram had even more fun shaking her because she found her cute.

“Aram, stop,” Daemyung spoke worriedly.

Aram raised her eyebrows and looked at Daemyung.

“Seonbae, Id be disappointed if youre taking her side because youre her boyfriend.”

“N-no.

Its not like that.”

“Whats not like that You know These days, I think youre looking after her too much.

This wont do.

Since Jiyoon is my friend, I forbid you from meeting her from now on!” She spoke as she hugged Jiyoons neck tightly.

“Stop teasing them.”

Aram felt a sharp pain on her head before raising it.

She saw Maru come in while yawning.

His fist must have been what hit her head.

“Oh Maru-seonbae, what brings you here Didnt you only come here on Saturdays”

“I got some time today.

Wheres Bangjoo”

“Hes on cleaning duty.

Hell come up after that.”

Aram let go of Jiyoon.

Jiyoon sighed in exhaustion.

“Dowook went home since something came up, so I guess well be able to start once Bangjoos here.”

“Youre practicing as well”

“I thought you wanted me to.

I should do my worth if I dont want to get scolded by my juniors.”

Maru looked at the wall and started doing some stretches.

“Sorry for being late!”

Just then, Bangjoo opened the door and entered.

He was also surprised by the presence of Maru.

“Am I a mythical creature to you”

“You are,” Aram grinned as she spoke.

All the members would have gathered if Dowook was here, so that was a bit of a pity.

She took out the script from her bag and put it on the floor.

“But Maru-seonbae.

Have you practiced Were almost done going over our lines.”

“I read through it whenever I had spare time, so I wont screw up my lines.

Though, they might sound awkward,” Maru said as he also took out his script.

“Uhm, seonbae, can you give me that for a sec”

Aram opened her palms towards Maru.

She got his script and opened it.

Jiyoon, who was watching her by the side, exclaimed in a small voice.

‘This isspare time quality

She asked him to give it to her because she found the tattered cover a bit strange, but as she had expected, there were a lot of notes inside.

Since he said that it was hard for him to focus on club activities, he was in charge of a minor role and a passerby, yet he was able to do so much research with roles like those.

He also created some traits and habits so that the roles wouldnt clash.

He even had ideas for clothing on the side.

Aram glanced at her own script.

It was a bit worn out since she read through it so many times, but it wasnt tattered like Marus was.

She tried looking at Jiyoons, but Jiyoon hid it away from her sight already.

As for Bangjoos script….

“What”

Bangjoo was holding a clean copy.

Yes, that was the norm.

But, why did it look like a completely new copy Did he not read through it at all

“You should really read the script.

Why is it so clean”

“Oh this I made another copy because I didnt want it to get dirty.

This is for notes, and this ones for practice.”

Bangjoo took out another script, which had its cover missing.

He had as many notes as Maru did.

“You are… forget it.

Traitors should go away.”

After spending time with Maru, even this kid had become quite hard-working.

No wait, was he always hard-working Aram smiled bitterly and gave back the script to Maru.

“The script doesnt signify the amount of practice!”

“Did anyone say something Daemyung, were going to start right after warm-ups, right Im going to have to go in two hours, so I hope we can start as soon as possible.”

Daemyung nodded his head as he stood up.

“Lets do a vocal exercise and then read through the script, and then practice with movement.

We can start the club after lunch tomorrow, so lets keep things simple for today before finishing things up, sounds good”

“Yes!”

“But instead, anyone that makes a mistake will have a separate time to practice tomorrow before practice, so dont make any mistakes.

But Maru, can we really start right away”

Maru nodded without a word.

“The extra practice also applies to Maru-seonbae, right” Aram asked in excitement.

Daemyung looked at Maru with a sorry expression.

“It doesnt matter.”

Maru replied blandly.

* * *

“Hm.”

Daemyung coughed before looking at the club members.

Maru didnt participate in practice since the start of the semester.

This was true even after he received a script.

All he did was visit the clubroom and watch them practice for a few minutes before going to Seoul.

“Haah.”

He saw Aram sighing in front of him.

“How can you be so natural even though you havent practiced with us even once Someone might think that youve been with us the whole time.”

The reason Aram was depressed was simple.

It was because she made the most mistakes.

Even with parts where she would usually have no problem with, she made a mistake today.

“This was a great chance to one-up him.”

The reason she screwed up her words and moves was probably because of her competitive spirit.

The problem was that her opponent was Maru.

“Daemyung-seonbae.”

“Uh, yeah”

“Can we practice just one more time”

“Were lacking members since Maru just left.”

“We can just take turns doing the roles that arent here.

How about you, Jiyoon Bangjoo, you can just say yes.”

Jiyoon and Bangjoo smiled and said that they were good with it.

Daemyung was planning to end things early, but he looked at the clock once before taking out the script again.

“Lets just do it one more time.

We can look back at the parts we screwed up last time, before doing a run from start to finish.

Does that sound okay to you”

“Yes.”

The practice room was filled with vitality.

Daemyung thought that Marus participation was not so bad from time to time.

It was a good stimulus for the rest of the members.

He shouldve been busy preparing for other things, yet Maru prepared a near-perfect role.

If he knew things were going to be like this, he should have just had him be one of the main characters instead.

“Seonbae! Lets start.”

“Alright.”

Daemyung smiled as he stood up.

* * *

-Im practicing with the others.

Looks like they felt something when they saw you.

Maru closed his phone after checking the text.

As he had to travel to Seoul and Anyang, he couldnt practice with them every day, but that didnt mean that he had treated the club activities lightly.

He didnt want to drag everyone down when he was a senior, so he started practicing by himself on the day he received the script.

His time on the bus and train was a splendid time to practice for him.

Since he was the one that persuaded the others to enter the acting club in the first place, he couldnt take things lightly.

In order to act like a splendidkkondae, he had to be responsible for his words.

‘Well, they were doing well without me.

Although there were some trivial mistakes, the play itself was pretty well done.

The three first years were following well.

They were showing off their traits within the frame set by Daemyung, and just watching them made Maru satisfied.

The experience at the movie shoot seemed to be of help as Bangjoos acting also became more stable.

Having him be the main character was a splendid choice.

 “Yes, senior.

I think Im going to be around 10 minutes late.

Sorry.

I was practicing with the others at the club, so I lost track of the flow of time.

Yes, yes.

Ill buy some drinks before I go.”

Maru hung up the phone call with Ganghwan and stretched his arms out.

If he had some leisure with practice at the club, the practice in Anyang was probably going to drain the life out of him.

“I wonder if my stamina is going to hold out.”

Misos lectures and Ganghwans practice.

His week was quite dynamic, to say the least.

* * *

“Is he coming”

“Yeah.

I told him to buy drinks since hes late.”

“Why are you having a kid buy something Its not like youre poor.”

“Hey, Maru probably earns more than me.”

“Urgh, what a mean guy.”

Ganghwan twitched his nose before doing some exercises.

“Sooil, you should exercise your voice as well.

Marus coming soon.”

“Yes.”

Sooil, who was doing a leg split, stood up and started some vocal exercises.

Hanna also did some vocal exercises while singing her favorite song.

“Pull out your voice, people,” Ganghwan clapped as he spoke
