Rebirth: King to Superstar

Joon-won quickly reached his home after getting things done at the store, he continued on home. Reaching home, he dropped the bag on the couch and went inside the kitchen for a glass of water. He didn't have water after eating the noodles and rice balls, making him feel a bit thirsty.

He sat back on the couch and whipped out his phone. He couldn't forget to inform Jung-hwa about his job and that he wouldn't be able to practice with her the entire morning. He felt a bit bad because tomorrow was the only day they could practice individually and after that would be the whole drama practice.

He opened up his texting app and sent a message to Jung-hwa, greeting her after seeing she was online. He didn't need to wait long before Jung-hwa sent back a message greeting him and asking what's up.

Joon-won: {Jung-hwa, I might not come to the university tomorrow morning and help you with your practice. I might be there by 1 max.}

Jung-hwa: {Oh! What happened Joon-won?}

Jung-hwa: {It's ok if you don't want to tell.}

He couldn't help but chuckle at how cautious she became after he showed her how good his acting was. He actually appreciated the girl's carefree personality more.

Joon-won: {Why are you so cautious while talking to all of a sudden. Where did the girl who slapped my back for no reason, go? Don't be too cautious, nothing really changed, and it just weirds me out.}

Jung-hwa's body couldn't help but stiffen a little as she saw the message. She subconsciously started treating him with more respect after seeing how good he was and showed more respect. Awkwardly laughing, she couldn't help but quickly respond.

Jung-hwa: {Hahaha, I just wanted to show more respect after seeing how good your acting is. Don't be too weirded out about it. I'll be back to normal tomorrow now that you told me. You need to tell me your secret of good acting.}

Joon-won: {There isn't any need to be so respectful just because I can act a bit better than others. We all are the same and have the same starting point. The only thing that makes one different from another is the amount of hard work they put into it. Have a goal and put in some more hard work to reach that goal. I'm sure you will get better than your present situation.}

This advice came from his heart as he knows that he did not have any talents. It was only his persistent attitude and hard work to act in bigger places and reach his goal to perform in front of his majesty in his old life that he got better.

Jung-hwa: {Hahaha, Joon-won. You sound just like my grandfather. But what you said is true. I'll just have to work harder. I hope you provide pointers tomorrow so that I can get better.}

'I am probably way older than your grandfather too, young girl' Joon-won smiled but corrected his way of thinking a bit. He wasn't an old man any more and needed to act like how he looks.

Joon-won: {Oh yah, Jung-hwa. The reason I called is related to our practice tomorrow. I might not come to the university until 1. So you might have to practice on your own until then.} not forgetting the real reason he started the chat with her.

Jung-hwa: {Huh? You aren't coming to the university itself? Joon-won, don't tell me you are going to parties with that idiot friend of yours tonight. Don't waste your time, even though you are good at acting, those kinds of places are not good for us.}

'This girl's imagination always looks at the worst probable scenario. How can someone think so dak?' shaking at how her responses always look for the bad in things.

Joon-won: {What nonsense are you even thinking? No, I'm not going to any parties today. I'm at my apartment. It's just that I got a job and am starting from tomorrow. My shift ends at 1 and that is when I can come to the university to practice with you. So until I come just practice what we did yesterday and get better at it.}

Jung-hwa: {What nonsense? You are always going to parties. So me guessing you going to parties is not completely wrong at all. And a job? Are you low on cash? Where are you going to start working?}

Joon-won: {Yes, I'm a bit low on cash and need to work a little. I can't ask my dad for cash all the time. I'm going to work in a supermarket near my home.}

Jung-hwa: {Oh!, A supermarket. That's nice. I'll drop by if I have time to see you in a uniform working. Tell me where it is.}

Joon-won simply shared the location of the supermarket and told goodbye. It was tiring to talk with such energetic people as he was the complete opposite and liked to talk with calm people. But his daughter and even his wife were very energetic people, and he got used to it.

He stood up and walked into the bedroom, changed clothes to get on the bed. It was already late and his shift started at 8 and so he might need to wake up at 7 or 7:30 to get going.

Looking at his ceiling he murmured, "After many decades it looks like I fell where I started, working for money, wherever I can. But this doesn't seem bad." With a smile, he closed his eyes and slept.
