Chapter 73

* * *Maru could only be described as a natural once he was on stage. After exiting the green tape, the boy waited for his next scene very calmly.‘Hah… How do I get him to be desperate?’Three weeks ago, Junmin gave her some insight into Maru.[Maru’s not the type of person who’d move from outside influences. He needs an internal motivator, he’ll only display his true worth when he finds the motivation. So I’d suggest that you stop talking to him for now. Just watch.]Miso asked what would happen if Maru decided to do something else after that, but the man just responded with a ‘well, that’s just life’. ‘He’s a good guy, but he’s even more stubborn than me when it comes to recruiting actors.’Maru shone like a star as soon as he started acting. It was hard to see right now, but it still was a very clear difference from the other actors on stage. Then again, even Junmin had recognized Maru’s talent. ‘He said Maru was amazing.’The weight behind Junmin’s words was different. Just as how a flower described as ‘beautiful’ carried a different weight between a person who saw it for the first time, and a person who saw it for the hundredth time. Junmin praised Maru as ‘amazing’. Just what would Maru look like, then, if he got proper practice? ‘If only something would happen to shake that kid...’Miso nervously bit her thumb. She found a diamond in the rough, but she couldn’t touch it. It was driving her crazy.“Next!”Miso decided to focus on the run for now, they only had two weeks. After that, they needed to act out their play at the festival.
