Chapter 174

* * *“Damn it.”Geunseok fell back on his bed after coming back home. His silver lining for the week was gone, just like that. Suyeon didn’t tell him anything, either. She probably left the city. He was annoyed. Club work included, there wasn’t anything that was going his way. He called a few girls he knew out of frustration, a few of them readily agreed to come out.‘Should I play?’The girls were nothing special compared to Suyeon, but whatever. “I’ll be out for a bit.”His mom gave me a bit of allowance on his way out, he has been getting first place at the academy he went to every week. His dad gave him a brand watch as a reward, there was a bit of pressure to take first place on the next test, but he wasn’t worried. He should be able to take first place easily with some work. He met the girls in front of a karaoke nearby, they all dressed up for the occasion, but they all seemed awkward. “I’m paying.”“Wow, as expected of Geunseok.”He was letting out stress at the karaoke with the laughing girls. Right then, he got a call from her brother. It wasn’t a great call, but he took it for now.“What?”- I was just curious about how you were.“Well.”- Good to hear. How’s the club? I heard you guys were in a bit of trouble.“Trouble? From who?”- Maru.“Why would you listen to an idiot like that? I’m in charge of the club and I’m telling you there’s no problem. I’ll take care of it, so you work hard yourself. How long are you going to chase your dreams? Dad is incredibly worried about you. With you rolling in the mud in the independent film industry and all.”- Haha, true that. Good to hear that you’re focused. Mom and dad must be happy.His brother sounded as positive as ever. Geunseok was sick of it.“I’m hanging up.”- Geunseok.His brother didn’t respond even after calling him. Just before Geunseok hung up with a click of his tongue, a voice came through the phone.- You’re doing acting because it’s fun, right?“What are you talking about?”- You’re acting because you’re desperate for acting and for no other reason. Right? Geunseok let out a little laugh. What the hell was he on about? “Is that important? I’m talented as all hell.”He dropped the phone call and went back into the room, his annoying emotions disappeared as he heard the cheery beat inside. His worries were fading in an instant.
