Rebirth: King to Superstar

After making a promise to himself to take care of Min-Seok as his father, better than his original son, his gaze landed on the script.

\'I shouldn\'t let that man down too much and waste time like this. Even though I only talked to him for a few minutes, it feels like I know him for a long time. It seems like I\'m slowly getting influenced by the original Kin Joon-won\'s memories. But this kind of influence is not that bad. Let\'s prepare for this exam then. It seems like this is the last exam of the year, and the results matter. It should be this weekend, too.\' he reorganized his thoughts while noticing the slight influence on his mentality.

Grabbing the paper once again, he stood up. He had a closer look at the script and his role compared to before. The role was simply tiny. His role was of a jealous teenager who snitches on the protagonists for being lovers in a school which prohibits such things. He snitched because he hated the hero\'s handsomeness.

Joon-won stood there in silence. He couldn\'t help but exhale and understood why the old Joon-won died in frustration after reading this. Most of his part was a narration by the narrator as they were inner thoughts of jealousy and his dialogues were mainly with the teacher character when he snitched on the protagonist\'s love.

"Even though I am not as handsome as the old me, it\'s not that bad that I have to play the role of this jealous teenager. I should probably really try and give this director and the person who chose the roles a piece of my mind if I meet them tomorrow. Well, now that I decided, let\'s practice these lines." Scratching the back of his head.

He closed his eyes, trying to envision how a jealous teenager would generally be. He wasn\'t a teenager, and instantly becoming a jealous teenager would be tough. Thinking about it a several minutes, he slowly thought about all the noble family sons in his past life and their faces whenever they saw him besides his wife.

This gave him something better to play with, and he slowly understood the teenager\'s thoughts before opening his eyes and thinking about a handsome man, and all he could think of was his past looks. Getting the mood set, he slowly practiced a few expressions he could come up with and then the dialogues imagining the teacher. All of it looked comical with no one around.

After a few more minutes of practice, he finally sat down on the couch, placing the paper aside before running his hand through his hair.

"It\'s been a while since I acted, but it seems like I am still way off what I used to be. Everything seems a bit new after a few decades. I need to use this chance to get into my rhythm so that I can try acting. It looks like I need to audition for roles in this world. I\'ll try one after this exam drama and see how it goes." He stood up and made his way towards the bathroom once again to take a nice bath.

Taking a refreshing bath, he wore some fresh clothes he found in the drawer and went into the kitchen for some food. Taking out the food he cooked for lunch from the fridge, he ate a quick meal, washed the dishes, and sat on the couch.

"I need to get this body into shape if I want some nice roles. Even though my looks are only above average, if I can get some muscles and shape, I can catch more eyes in those auditions I can try out."

\'This exam should be this kid\'s final exam for the first year and is at the end of this week. After that, it\'s summer holidays for two months until his 2nd-year courses start. I should try and get good grades with this small role I got offered.\' going through his memories. He figured out the present situation of Kim Joon-won university.

\'Those two months should be very useful for me to try out different auditions. This city should be famous for having many agencies and auditions. Maybe I will be lucky and get a role in a movie within these two months\'

Arios City, the most famous city within the country after the capital. It is also known as the nation\'s entertainment capital, and this is because many famous artists, actors, and other people who work in similar industries live here. This is also why it houses the renowned drama university Kim Joon-won attends, called Arios Drama university, renamed after the city itself.

"It\'s been a complete year since this kid came to this so-called entertainment capital, and he has done nothing to improve his skills. He was completely changed by the things here and didn\'t have the initial enthusiasm, only wasting his parent\'s money. Well, it looks like I can\'t be too greedy and work with what I got, I guess."

He took out his phone and opened the gallery app as he remembered something. Kim Joon-won practiced a bit the last few days for the final exam and used to record videos for analysis. He slowly went through them all before deleting all of them.

"This guy is too mediocre. No wonder he didn\'t get a bigger role, his acting is so plain, and all his expressions couldn\'t be more fake. Him getting this role was like destiny, and he probably only has himself to blame." He sighed to himself.

Noticing it was already very late, he stood up, turned off the lights, and went into the room before falling asleep. He twisted and turned around for a long time before falling asleep.
