BXBX NOVEL Chapter 172 - Dropping Yun-hee Off
The next day, everyone got up as they slowly prepared themselves for the day. Joon-won woke up first for his jog as he took some time to meditate in the park before returning and getting freshened up. Min-Seok was next to wake up as he got started on the breakfast while Joon-won just looked through the news on his phone.
Yun-hee slowly woke up as she smelled the food from the kitchen. They ate Yun-hee\'s favorite breakfast, pancakes, before one by one went into the bathroom to get ready. At 10, all three of them were ready as Min-Seok turned towards Yun-hee before asking, "Shall we go now? If you don\'t want to, we can go after lunch. It\'s your call."
Yun-hee looked at Min-Seok for a second before looking at Joon-won and said while shaking her head, "It\'s ok dad. Let\'s go now. If we keep delaying, I will probably never go. I can get used to my room, settle everything before I sleep. So it\'s fine. Now let\'s go." as she stepped towards the door and made her way out.
Min-Seok looked at his daughter\'s back for a second before he turned towards his son. Joon-won just shrugged as he picked up the bags and walked out of the house as Min-Seok followed right behind after locking up the doors. They quickly found a cab by the building entrance and made their way towards University.
Reaching the university, Joon-won noticed there were a lot of students like last time, but this time most of them were with their bags as they were making their way back from the holidays or newcomers joining the dorms like Yun-hee. The three of them made their way towards the dorm building and as they got there, they noticed Gah Soo waiting for them by the entrance.
Min-Seok also noticed her as he turned towards Joon-won and asked, "Did you invite her today? You shouldn\'t have done that Joon-won. She might have some work to do and there isn\'t much for us to do today, either. It\'s no good on our part to call her today, too." Joon-won, on the other hand, was completely confused by everything, as he was certainly not the person who called her.
"Dad, it was me who told her that we were coming at this time. Big sis Gah Soo asked me yesterday about what time we will be coming and so I told her." Min-Seok looked at her before sighing and shaking his head.
"You shouldn\'t have done that, Min-Seok. Gah Soo might have some work to do. Don\'t try to disturb her too much in the future, alright?" Yun-hee nodded as she turned around towards Gah Soo before waving her hand. Gah Soo recognized her and started to walk towards them.
As she got closer, Min-Seok immediately apologized, "I am really sorry, Gah Soo. You must have some studying or other works to do other than just follow us around."
Gah Soo shook her head as she replied, "No, it\'s alright Uncle. I texted Yun-hee because I was free, anyway. Come, let\'s get going now." and everyone just walked towards the manager\'s room.
They made their way into the manager\'s room after some time and after hearing Yun-hee\'s name; the manager pulled up her portfolio on her computer before turning towards them once again.
"Are you guys ready to drop her off today, Mr. Kim? If you have any problems, please ask and if you want my number, please it is over there so that you can call anytime regarding your daughter." As she pointed at a piece of paper placed on the wall behind them near the door with her number on it. Joon-won quickly saved the number as Min-Seok asked a couple of questions he had just to reconfirm everything.
"Alright then, if that\'s everything, please continue towards the room you guys picked. You guys can take her out for today, but I expect her to be back by 10. That is when I will be taking attendance."
Min-Seok stood along with Yun-hee as he nodded and replied, "Of course, she will be here at night. Please take care." the manager nodded as everyone exited the room. As they did, Gah Soo turned towards Joon-won and said.
"Joon-won, you can\'t come inside with us today. The dorms are closed for males completely. Min-Seok can come as he is the father but you can\'t like last time. This time there are many more girls who already settled in and so the no males rule is back in action."
The rule took Joon-won back. He was also a family member of a student and not a random stranger. But before he could even respond to Gah Soo\'s words, Min-Seok said to him, "Well then, it is nothing we can do if those are the rules. Joon-won, go and stay outside. If you want to go outside cause, it will take us an hour or so to settle things. We will call you when we are almost done and after that, we all can go for lunch." Joon-won could only nod after he heard his dad\'s words as he handed the bags in his hand to Gah Soo and Yun-hee before walking outside the building. He didn\'t forget to remind them to call him when they were done.
As he walked out, he noticed many people walking in and so just went out of the way as he just started to walk around the campus before finding a nice place under a huge tree to sit. As he did, he took out his phone and decided to call Do Hwan to have a talk. Even though he thought he would leave this stuff after everyone went back and he was alone, he couldn\'t and thought about it a couple of times yesterday, too.
So he sent Do Hwan a text first to know if the man is free and not in any meetings or shooting. He just kept the phone aside as he relaxed under a tree, waiting for a reply. After a few minutes, he heard his phone ring and knew it was Do Hwan.
[Hey, Joon-won. I thought you were going to take a couple more days more to come to a decision. Is everything well? With your sister\'s admission and everything?]
"Yes, everything is well. Thanks for asking. I also thought of calling you after a few days, but I can\'t just get it out of my head at all. I read those scripts you sent me and since then I have kept having thoughts and going over stuff. That\'s why I called."
[Alright come on, shoot. What happened?]
And Joon-won proceeded to explain his problems about the scripts he got sent and everything else he had on his mind. He didn\'t know much about the entertainment industry like Do Hwan and needed to know what decision would make what impact. After he finished explaining his problems, Do Hwan didn\'t immediately respond and Joon-won waited on the other end for one.
[Alright, Joon-won. I actually wanted to have this discussion with you for a while now and couldn\'t cause of your sudden shooting and now your current situation. After spending some time with you, I noticed one major flaw in your thinking. According to what I noticed, is that you have a very superior personality when it comes to acting. You are a very humble guy, but when it comes to acting, you are completely different and I think it is time we do something about it. I need you to understand that you are a no-named rookie actor. You do not have any fame at all and the only reason you are even getting audition opportunities is because of connections or cause of your time in the drama house.]
[Do you think the heavenly kings had a row of movies lined up for themselves as their debut? No? Heavenly King Dongbang Jae literally started as a background character. His first time on screen was of a guy who walked in the background in the final minutes of a movie. He played multiple roles like that before he even had a role like the one you got through Hea-Jung. Acting is a long process and depends on luck, but you need to keep grinding. You have to act in these low-class movies with bad scripts just so that you have something to show for because no good scripts will come your way until you have kept the work in for it.]
