Legendary Superstar-Chapter 113: Great... Just Great

Minjae sat at his dining table alone. There was a pen in his hand as he scribbled notes in the margins of the script. The morning sunlight streamed through his window.

He had just woken up, but he was already reviewing the script.

Minjae had spent days reading and analyzing every scene. Also, with the help of his [Perfect Recall] skill, he was able to almost memorize some of the lines.

He was really immersed in the story. It was a true masterpiece just by reading about it.

The more he read, the more he felt drawn to the character of Han Siwoo. It was really a demanding role, one that was filled with emotion, intelligence, and inner conflict.

It was that kind of role that could either break or make an actor's career.

Minjae exhaled slowly, tapping the pen against the table. Suddenly, his phone vibrated. He barely glanced at it before continuing to read.

However, when it buzzed again, twice in a row, he sighed and finally picked it up.

[Jihoon: Hey hyung, let's hang out today. Yura's coming too. Let's grab some lunch.]

Minjae scoffed lightly, shaking his head. Of course, Jihoon would text him out of nowhere just like what he has been doing for the past few days.

Jihoon must be bored to the core now that they weren't doing anything.

He moved his fingers to type a quick "No, I'm busy" but before he could send it, another message popped up.

[Jihoon: If you say no, I'll come to your place and knock on your door until you open, Hyung.]

Minjae blinked and sighed.

He could actually imagine Jihoon doing that. After all, that idiot had no shame when it came to being persistent.

With a small smirk, Minjae typed back.

[Minjae: Fine. Where are we meeting?]

Almost instantly, Jihoon replied. It was as if he was already expecting that he'd say yes,

[Jihoon: That's right, Hyung! I'll send it to you in an hour. See you in 4 hours, okay? Don't be late.]

Minjae rolled his eyes but couldn't fight the small laughter that escaped his mouth. Jihoon was annoying, but it was also nice to interact with him.

Minjae placed his phone down and leaned back in his chair, rubbing his temples. Four hours. That gave him enough time to go through a few more scenes before he had to leave.

His gaze drifted back to the script. Even though he had already analyzed every detail, he couldn't stop himself from rereading it.

However, just a second after before he let out a sigh, closing the script. If he kept reading, he'd lose track of time and end up being late. Jihoon would definitely give him an earful for that.

With that in mind, Minjae pushed himself up and stretched. He might as well get ready early and do some errands first.

A few hours later, Minjae arrived at the restaurant that Jihoon had picked. It was a cozy, modern place with large windows that let in the afternoon sunlight.

Once he stepped inside, he immediately scanned the room.

"Hyung! Over here!"

Minjae turned his head to see Jihoon waving enthusiastically from a corner table. Yura was seated across from him, sipping on an iced coffee.

With a sigh, Minjae made his way over.

"You're actually on time," Jihoon teased as Minjae slid into the seat next to Yura.

"I didn't want you showing up at my place," Minjae replied dryly.

"Good choice, hyung." Jihoon grinned. "Good choice."

Yura chuckled, resting her chin on her hand.

"I'm surprised you agreed to come. You've been avoiding us lately."

Minjae scoffed, taking the menu from the table.

"I haven't been avoiding you. I've been busy."

"Busy with what Hyung?" Jihoon frowned as he became curious about it.

"It's a secret." Minjae shrugged his shoulders before taking a seat. "Anyway, what's good here?"

Jihoon and Yura exchanged a look before Jihoon leaned forward with a mischievous grin.

"You know what? Since you made us wait for weeks to hang out, you should treat us today."

"Excuse me?" Minjae shot him a deadpan look.

Yura smirked. "I like that idea."

Jihoon clapped his hands together. "Great! Thanks for offering, Hyung."

'Why did I agree to this again?'

Minjae groaned, running a hand through his hair as he glared at Jihoon, who was practically beaming with victory. Yura sipped her iced coffee, clearly amused.

"Fine," Minjae muttered, lightly tossing the menu onto the table. "Order whatever you want."

Jihoon's face lit up.

"Really? Oh, Hyung, you're the best!"

"Yeah, yeah. Just don't go overboard."

"Alright," Jihoon said with a grin before eagerly flipping through the menu.

Minjae sighed but didn't actually mind. It wasn't like he was struggling with money. He had more than enough, and besides, he hadn't treated the two after their time together.

A waiter soon arrived, and they placed their order. Jihoon, of course, ordered the most food but it was the cheap dishes on the menu. Yura, on the other hand, just chose something light since was put on a strict diet by her agency once again.

As they waited for their food, the conversation drifted from casual small talk to their recent projects. Jihoon was rambling about a variety show he had been invited to, and Yura mentioned a new web drama she was considering.

Minjae mostly listened, only speaking when necessary.

Then, in the middle of their meal, Minjae's phone buzzed. He glanced at it in silence while Jihoon and Yura kept on talking.

[Donghyun: Minjae, the audition dates have been confirmed. It will be on December 5-8th, next week. 4 days in total.]

Minjae's brows furrowed slightly. 4 days? The audition days were longer than usual.

[Donghyun: But there's a problem… You have a schedule that day.]

Minjae froze for a moment.

His schedule?

He quickly checked his calendar, and his jaw tightened when he saw it.

There will be a 3-day shoot for a variety show.

He exhaled sharply, rubbing his temple.

'Great... Just great.'
