Legendary Superstar-Chapter 134: Callback

Minjae was back to his apartment. He was slumped on the couch, with his eyes closed as he tried to rest. For days, he has spent his time on Flex Entertainment, shooting additional promotional content with Yura.

Now that he was finally back in the comfort of his apartment, he could finally breathe and relax.

Minjae didn't move for a while. His body was heavy and tired. For the first time in days, he had nothing on his schedule, at least for now.

After a few minutes of quietness, Minjae slowly sat up and reached for his phone. His notifications had piled up over the hours but there was nothing urgent on them.

As he set his phone to the side, he turned to his laptop that was resting on the table. It was still the same old ancient laptop that the original owner of this body had. Remembering it, he should probably buy a new one by now.

Minjae opened his laptop lazily. He intended to clear and read some emails. Most were brand inquiries, newsletters, or updates from staff at Flex.

However, one email caught his eye.

[Hwarang Studios - Audition Callback Notice]

His breathing paused for a second.

Minjae immediately clicked it open. The email was simple and formal, yet every word made his heartbeat faster.

Minjae blinked at the screen. He read it again just to make sure he wasn't imagining things.

"…I got the callback."

A quiet smile appeared onto his face. Even though he was tired, the rush of excitement made him feel energetic.

That means he passed the initial audition for the drama.

This was such a good chance!

Minjae quickly clicked on the attachments, downloading the scripts immediately. There were three scenes. One was emotional, one was action-heavy, and the last seemed like a slow, quiet moment between the two main characters.

This was it.

The next step forward.

Minjae leaned back against the couch, staring up at the ceiling. The nerves were already starting to build, but so was something else.

Hope.

"The callback is in 3 days, so I got to work hard for this." Minjae was determined to get this role.

Minjae sat up straighter, feeling a surge of energy run through him. He opened the downloaded scripts one by one.

Minjae began reading the scenes, starting with Scene 14, the emotional one.

It was a scene where he was alone, in another city. It was an emotional scene wherein in front of his family's grave, he cried and wept, vowing that he would finally take his revenge after years.

Minjae read through it once, then again. His mind was already running through how he'd approach it. He could feel the emotions in the lines, anger, sadness, and determination. Minjae stood up and began pacing around the room. He ran the lines under his breath, shifting between the different emotions the character might feel.

He closed his eyes for a moment, trying to get a better sense of how the scene should unfold.

Minjae took a deep breath and spoke the first line aloud:

"I've waited years for this moment. All the suffering, the pain, the emptiness—today, it ends. I swear on your graves, I will make them pay."

The words were heavy, laced with a sense of duty and rage. Minjae felt his voice tighten, as if it was impossible to hold back the fury.

"All I've done, all I've sacrificed… it's all for this. I won't stop until I've destroyed everything they built. You're the last ones left to witness it. You'll see the blood of our enemies fall, just as they made you fall."

Minjae's chest tightened. He could feel the feeling of fury in his heart as he continued to recite more lines. After a few minutes, he was able to reach the end of the scene.

"I will make them all pay. For you… for us."

Minjae took a step back, his breath was heavy and his heart still racing. He felt the anger starting to fade, but the determination from the scene remained.

He stood still for a moment, allowing the emotion to settle. His gaze then shifted to the script in his laptop, and he started reading Scene 56, the action-heavy one.

In this scene, the character was in a brutal fight. His body was battered. Minjae visualized the movement, the adrenaline pumping and his body reacting instinctively.

The character was fighting for survival. Minjae knew that in this scene, the stakes were high as this wasn't just about the physical battle, but about what it represented. Every punch that was written on the scene and every move he had to make have meaning.

Taking a deep breath, Minjae began to practice his movements in sync with the scene. He imagined the clash of metal against metal, the intensity of each strike, and the feeling of exhaustion as his character fought on despite the odds.

After a few minutes, Minjae moved to Scene 79. He read it through once more, focusing on the quiet, emotional exchange.

The character was in a rare vulnerable moment with the female lead of the drama. This scene was softer, slower, and more intimate this time. It was about sharing fears, admitting vulnerability, and hoping for a future despite the darkness.
