********************************
Joon-won got some quick breakfast sandwich in one of the restaurants and the rest stop in the middle before he made his way towards the caves first. It didn\'t take him long before he looked at the caves. There were a few people already sightseeing. Joon-won slowly walked into the caves and didn\'t forget to take pictures whenever he could. After he slowly explored the small caves, he walked out and made his way to the garden this time.
Unlike the damp and dark caves, the garden was truly pretty, with many trees and plants. The garden seemed well kept as Joon-won had to pay an entrance fee, too. He slowly walked around the entire garden before making his way down the mountain. He was feeling very refreshed by the slow climb he had and felt very energetic.
Going back to his room, he checked the time and noticed it was only still 9. After thinking for a second, he walked out of the room and went towards the receptionist before asking her what time a bus to the town was. The receptionist told him it would take at least 2 more hours for a bus to arrive and so he went back to the room.
He just laid on the bed, feeling a little bored as he looked at the ceiling of the room. After a few more minutes of staring, he took out his phone and sent a message to Hea-Jung, asking her if there were any updates about the extra scenes the director promised. After waiting a minute and receiving no response, he knew she was probably busy filming, as she responded quickly every time. It was also probably the first time he ever took the initiative to text her.
almost instantly.
So, instead of just laying around on the bed, he jumped up and made his way for a bath. After a nice bath, he came out and saw Hea-Jung replied and told him he would get a call by the evening about it and he would have to sign another contract for the extra scenes and pay. He sent a quick ok before he packed his stuff up.
Joon-won noticed there was still some time left until 11 and just sat in the room while listening to some nice music. He kept an alarm and when it rang; he walked out of the room and went towards the receptionist to hand over the keys to check out.
He made his way to the same bus stop he got down the day before and waited after taking a ticket. The next bus back to the town was at 11:30, so he just continued to listen to more music while looking at the surrounding people at the bus stop.
The bus arrived on time, and he reached the town after an hour. Feeling hungry, he just directly hailed down a cab and ordered the driver to get him back to his hotel first. He just decided to order some food in the lobby and tell them to get it to his room.
Walking into the lobby, he went directly to the receptionist and ordered his food before going back to his room. Getting inside, he just threw the bag on the chair before sleeping on the bed again. It didn\'t take long for the food to arrive as he sat on the chair and started to eat it.
As he ate his food, he got a text message from Hea-Jung asking when he would be back, and he just told her he was already in his room. This time there was a quick response, and she told him she was coming to spend some time as she was bored. Joon-won looked at his food and decided to finish it before she arrives. If she came, he won\'t be able to enjoy the food anymore.
He quickly finished eating and threw the covers into the trash and just sat back in the chair. It didn\'t take long, however, for the door to bust open and Hea-Jung to walk inside with a few bags in her hand. Joon-won could easily tell there was food in them.
"Close the door. Also, why bring food? I already ate my lunch just now." as he pointed at the trash. Hea-Jung looked at him before looking at the trash and then the bags of food in her hand. She thought about treating her junior brother a little, but he already ate.
"You should have hinted. Now, what am I going to do with all this food? I can\'t eat alone." as she placed all the bags and slumped into the chair. She was tired from carrying the bags and now she was also vexed, as it was a bit pointless.
Joon-won looked at her and said, "You should call your sister Han to help you finish them up then. Also, why did you not eat until now? You should have eaten with the other actors on the set. You should have better connections with the other actors. You are wasting your chances."
Hea-Jung glanced at him before looking at the ceiling and said, "Sister Han is a bit busy with coordinating as there are a few scenes added for me too, cause of you and so she said she will eat out while doing that stuff. Also, I ate with all those actors every single day until you came. So, I know them pretty well. It\'s not like they are some top actors in their class, too. No need to show too much respect even if I am a beginner." As she shrugged. Hea-Jung was very prideful and knew it would be only a matter of a couple of movies for her to get to their spot, given her talent. So she naturally felt there wasn\'t any need to be overly respectful to them.
"Anyway, just help me eat a little. I\'ll try to eat more to finish this up. There are also some new varieties from this local area that you might not have tried yet. So, come on, let\'s get to it." she leaned towards the table and started taking out the food. Joon-won as a lover of food could not entirely say no to some new food.
So, he just nodded and slowly started to eat. Hea-Jung was chowing down completely and he maintained a slow pace as he was already half full from the before lunch he had. Both of them managed to finish the food as Joon-won was throwing away the bags. Hea-Jung just fell on the bed with her stomach full.
Joon-won sat on a chair and asked her, "Don\'t fall on the bed immediately after eating so much food. It\'s not good. Anyway, back to you getting more scenes. Are we getting more scenes together now? How many?"
Hea-Jung slowly pulled herself up and sat on the bed as she said while looking at him, "Not many. Only 2 more scenes. You might get 3 or 4 more scenes. Let\'s see. The director didn\'t tell much about them and just told me to bring you along during my afternoon shoot. It starts at 5 and now the time is 2." checking her phone.
Joon-won nodded hearing her. 3 or 4 new scenes weren\'t that bad considering how little his role is. With these scenes, he might have a total of 6 to 7 scenes and that was great for his debut. This much amount was enough to show his experience when he applies for auditions after this.
So, nothing to talk about anymore, Joon-won just closed his eyes and leaned back into the chair while falling his thoughts and Hea-Jung just checked her phone a little before she sprung up and shouted.
"Joon-won! They just released the name of the movie the heavenly king Dongbang Jea is acting in. It seems to be an action film. He is the king of action films in our country. The name is \'The Way To The Top\'. It sounds so plain but also classy. The internet is blowing up with only the name." as she showed him an article regarding the issue.
Joon-won, who knew a bit about Dongbang Jea through the movies he saw over the 2 months, also was interested and took the phone from her to read the article. Joon-won almost saw all the guy\'s films in the past 2 months and was impressed by how this guy became such a big star. Dongbang wasn\'t successful immediately after he entered the industry and got better at each movie. Joon-won saw that through his acting in the movies.
"I\'m surprised news about this film\'s name came so late. I thought it would be released or at least leaked quite early, given the amount of attention it gets." Joon-won murmured as he just read through the article.
Hea-Jung jumped off her bed and came beside him before replying to his statement, "Everyone thought the same, but after the initial leaks, the production went airtight and no information came out."
