Chapter 844: Bong Tae-Sik (2)
Drip, drip.
Tears began streaming from Yoo-Jin's wide eyes without warning.
"Huh? What—?"
Bong Tae-Sik, who had been confidently immersed in his role, faltered as Yoo-Jin suddenly burst into tears without any buildup. Even while staring straight at Bong Tae-Sik, Yoo-Jin showed no fear. Instead, she dove deeper into her role and continued her performance undeterred.
Bong Tae-Sik's startled reaction was irritating, but Yoo-Jin pressed on, fully absorbed in her part.
『I'm the one who wants to be on stage more than anyone! And yet you want me to go out in front of people with this face? This face that scares me even in the mirror, that haunts my dreams? I'm barely surviving, and now you show up to rip open everything inside me?!』
The searing sorrow in Yoo-Jin's voice filled the audition room. Her despair as if she had lost everything hit hard enough to weigh on everyone's chest.
According to the script, the characters were speaking through a door, so they couldn't see each other. Only their voices connected them. Therefore, Yoo-Jin kept her eyes fixed away from Bong Tae-Sik and acted as if he wasn't even in front of her.
Her precision, her emotional delivery, and her steadiness regardless of her partner's choices all stood out. Yoo-Jin's acting honed through countless scenes with actors like Choi Ji-Yung in Hwaranjeon had reached a level far beyond Bong Tae-Sik's grasp.
As Yoo-Jin continued, Wang Mi-In leaned toward me and whispered, "Mr. Jung. Miss Yoo-Jin is adjusting her line of sight for the scene, right? Isn't she?"
"Yes. They're speaking through a door in the script."
"Wow, the detail is unreal."
