Chapter 72 – Script Practice With Actor Hwang Soo-Ah?

In the end, her first condom sex with her mother lasted over an hour.
Maybe it’s because it’s uncomfortable wearing a condom, so I didn’t feel that way.
I couldn’t ejaculate right away, so the time to do it naturally got longer.

Even when I tried to take off her condom, my mom wouldn’t let me.
She even said that if she took out the condom, she would stop right away.

I wonder if my mother was thinking of cultivating my patience so that I wouldn’t take out the condom in a situation like this later.
If so, her mother’s plan could be called a success.
If the status window had been visible, my endurance level would have gone up considerably.

But she’s a mother and she’d be better off without a condom.
Is not it? She wears a condom and it lasts longer, so maybe that’s better?
I should have asked how different she felt when she was raw and when she was wearing a condom.
I’ll have to ask the next time I do it.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Seonhu. The food doesn’t suit your taste?”

After thinking about something else for a while, Sua apologized for some reason.
I suddenly came to my senses at Sua’s words.

“Yes? Oh no. It is very delicious.”

Oops. What do you think about while eating?
I hurriedly started eating again.

Maybe it’s because I starved a lot when I was young, so I tend to eat well without covering any food.
A fussy older sister who covers food excessively, a smile that only eats ant tears, and a mother who goes on a diet 365 days a year.
Compared to the other three members of my family, I’m pretty much a food fighter.

… But why am I eating at Sua’s house?
I must have come to practice the script.

After receiving sex education from her mother on how to use condoms, I finished my shower in 10 minutes and ran to Sua’s house.
Unlike unemployed people like me, actress Hwang Soo-ah is a person in whom every minute and every second is precious. I couldn’t dare make Sua wait.
… I ended up being about 5 minutes late.

Being late from the first day at work.
I had nothing to say even if I was beaten at the doorstep, but Sua smiled and forgave me.
He also liked the mini cactus I brought as a gift.

“Isn’t this just like Seonhu and me?”

The cactus in bloom does not look like Mr. Sua, but the cactus next to me is not me.
Because I’m a withered cactus at home.
However, I am not blind enough to say such a thing.
I calmly agreed with Sua.

Seeing Sua smiling happily while looking at a pair of cacti made me happy too.
Sua was so happy that I was grateful for all the gifts she gave.

I’m glad you liked Cactus.
But the really important script practice hadn’t even started.

Of the six hours promised, almost two hours have already passed.
But all I’ve been doing is chatting, searching for cacti on my smartphone to learn how to grow them, and eating dinner.

It’s me, it’s fun just looking at actor Hwang Soo-ah’s face, but is Su-ah okay?
You must have made time for it.

“Me, but Mr. Sua, practice the script.”

I couldn’t stand it and decided to ask.

“Yes? Are you doing it now?”
“Now?”

At some point, I think I was practicing the script.
Do you have short term memory loss?

“Mr. Im Shin-hye also said that. I can’t because I don’t know how to love. I am practicing that right now.”

Actress Hwang Soo-ah speaks as if she is a bit shy.

“Oh~.”

There I made a dumb noise.
Are you taking that seriously?

Mom is too
Mr. Sua is the advice of a senior actor that I respect, and I believe in it.

Love is not something that can be learned through practice.
At least the love I do and the love I receive is like that.

If Sua is going to be like that too, then she’d be better off dating a serious guy.
Because my mom introduced me to it.
Hmm.
… Hmm?

“Ah!”

I got a feeling

“Mr. Why are you like that?”

The part I didn’t understand in this script.
Why doesn’t Shin Ah-yeong (played by Hwang Soo-ah) abandon the male lead?
Why are you waiting for a man who abandoned his wife and children and cheated on him?

If it were real, I would have been able to rip off the alimony and run away to a foreign country.
Shin Ah-yeong was clinging to a man who had nothing to see except her face and the house.
I didn’t understand that.

Perhaps actor Hwang Soo-ah had the same idea.
Maybe I couldn’t immerse myself in acting because I was worried about that discrepancy.

Now, actor Hwang Soo-ah is trying to find ‘probability’.
The probability of why Shin Ah-yeong clings to her husband.

Even outside the written script, the lives of the characters continue.
The same goes for the characters Shin Ah-young and Hwang Jin-woo.
Although they are creaking now, they must have had an era of love before marriage.
An era of love that is sweet enough to make her husband cling to him even if he cheats on her.

Experience the age of love and feel the reason why Shin Ah-young clings to her husband.
That way, you can get into the character better.
Actor Hwang Soo-ah may have thought so.

Trying to empathize with the character by reproducing the character’s life outside the script.
Did her mother even give her that kind of advice?
Afraid.
Do real actors go that far… !
If that’s the case, then I’ll have to seriously cooperate.

“—You mean that?”
“… It’s a little different, but it’s not completely wrong.”

What?
I was completely convinced that it was the correct answer, but Sua’s answer was subtle.

“Still, the thought of Mr. Seonhu is also wonderful. Maybe that is the ultimate figure an actor should pursue.”

Mr. Sua nodded his head seriously and continued.

“So shall we do that? Mr. Seonhoo, please do your best to ‘squeeze’ me. To the extent that even if Seonhu cheats on her after she gets married and has children, I cling to her.”
“… That’s because I’ve never flirted with a girl before.”

I want to help Sua like a chimney, but I didn’t think I could do that.
He only dated a girlfriend for a while while she was in high school. It was a car right away.
My mother, my sister, and her brother are different things.
Not too long ago, I couldn’t properly talk to a woman and was abusive, so there’s no way I can seriously flirt with Sua.

“I know. Is that a flirting comment including that? Seonhoo is also really good at acting.”
“… I’m serious.”
“If I didn’t know about Mr. Seonhu, I would have been fooled. Do you have any plans to learn properly?”

It was like that at a drinking party before, but somehow Sua seems to have a misunderstanding about me.
What the hell did mom say?
They treat me like a pickup artist.
Thank you for being nice to me, but… It was a strange feeling. Is this a good thing in the first place?

“Then, let’s go with the setting that Mr. Seonhu is naive. That I lead because I’m older.”
“… Yes.”

Is that a setting…
I’m not set

“Sir, then, shall we watch a movie?”

The movie Sua chose is a very old movie.
It was “Roman Holiday” Starring Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck.

I sit on the sofa side by side with Sua and watch old movies on a TV like a movie theater screen.
The sofa and TV were not there when I came before.

Other than that, things like tables, decorations, and tableware.
It was a desolate house, but now it has a fairly good assortment.

There’s no way that actress Hwang Soo-ah doesn’t have money, but she must have been busy with the drama.
I’m sorry that I made you worry about this because of me.
It was as if he had prepared his own meal.

“Audrey Hepburn is really pretty even now. That face from 70 years ago. Nonsense.”
“People will say that when they see Sua in 70 years.”
“… Do you know that work comment is so cheesy?”

Ah.
Did you hear this as a work comment?
It was a word that came from the heart.

“But it’s really petty. It’s not that gross because Mr. Seonhu said that.”

Sua kept her eyes fixed on the screen and quietly held my hand.
It was a small, delicate hand that was about to break.

I was going to say ‘It looks like I’m holding Audrey Hepburn’s hand’, but I stopped because I thought that would sound like a work comment.
Instead, I carefully took Sua’s hand and returned it, and Sua leaned her head on my shoulder.
And started talking in whispers.

“Actually, I watched this movie with my mom and dad when I was little.”

When I was a kid? Isn’t it hard for kids to watch old movies like this?
Is it like learning gifted actors?
If I had a daughter like actress Hwang Soo-ah, I would have wanted to raise her as an actress.

“I really hated it back then. That’s not funny. I was scolded by my mother and forced to watch it. She even writes her impressions while crying.”

It must be a painful memory, but Sua said it as if she were talking about a pleasant memory.
If the kids are having fun, it will be even weirder.
But forcing you to look?
Nowadays, it would be called child abuse.
Now that you’ve grown into a great actor, is it a good thing?

“I regret it so much. I’ll have a little more fun Even if I want to see you now, I can’t.”

I felt water on my shoulder.
Sua was crying.

Oh~.
If he was a real workman, he would have comforted me with a cool comment at a time like this.
Like hugging or hugging.
I don’t have the talent for words, so I was just pretending to watch a movie and lending my shoulder.

How did Hwang Jin-woo of the script do it?
You must have comforted Shin Ah-young with a cool line, right?
So, is Shin Ah-young clinging to that?

“Ugh… Black…”

Sua’s silent sobbing voice could be heard between the movies.
I pretended not to hear.

* * *

Mr. Sua fell asleep before he knew it.
Must have been tired There won’t be enough time to sleep after filming.

And she said it was her mother too, so she vowed to do it in moderation from now on.

Even after Sua fell asleep, I watched the movie to the end.
It left a sad aftertaste.

Why did Sua show me this movie?
Like Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck, did we want to send the message that we shouldn’t dare to look at each other because we are in an impossible relationship?
Hmm.
I don’t know.
Maybe he just wanted to see it.

“Sua, I’ll leave.”

There was still a little time left as promised.
I don’t think Sua will wake up soon.
She can’t stay in her house sleeping alone as a woman.
I decided to get up first.

I carefully placed Sua on the sofa and covered her with a blanket.

In the end, I couldn’t practice the script at all.
Was this time today meaningful to Sua?
I wish I had

Before leaving, I gently wiped the tear marks from Sua’s eyes as she slept.
