Chapter 440 I'm In Trouble, I'm An Addict
The set turned eerily silent as June uttered those words. For this particular scene, Nana expected them to retake it plenty of times because of its complexity. Jin, June's character, was the golden boy of New Heights Academy. His life was supposedly 'perfect.' He had good looks, was the top student of the school, and was adored by everyone in the school—except Nayeon. However, what they didn't know was Jin's life wasn't golden as it seemed. Unlike the students of New Heights Academy, who were born with golden spoons in their mouths, Jin was only able to enter because of an academic scholarship. Behind his sparkly looks was a poor life. Of course, the author had to give him a sad backstory so people would fall in love with him even more! This scene was pivotal for the drama because it showed Jin's facade being broken. This was the very first time he was breaking out of his 'cool' persona, so it was a fan favorite among those who read the webtoon. June was aware of this fact because Jisung and Akira had given him a crash course on 'Hate To Love You.' He realized that this scene was vital to the drama, so he wanted to give justice to his character. So, during his very limited breaks, he called Hana to ask her for some tips on how to project such emotions better on the screen. "You think I enjoy being the center of attention, Nayeon? You think it's easy being 'Jin'?" his voice rose with frustration. For a moment, Arin was stunned. The two had acted together for a couple of days now, and Arin couldn't deny that June was a decent actor. However, it was still obvious that June was an amateur, especially during more complex and intimate scenes. However, the scene he was portraying right now was a different story. Arin snapped back to her character, taken aback, before shaking her head. "I never said that, Jin. I just..." "That's all I have," Jin cut her words early. He took a deep breath, and in that moment of vulnerability, he dug deep into the feelings he had buried deep within his heart. Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only
"I need this scholarship, Nayeon," he finally revealed the truth.
"So, isn't it exhausting to live in a facade, Nayeon? Why don't we escape together?" "Just the two of us?"
Arin's breath got caught in the back of her throat. 'Frick, frick, frick.' "...and cut!" Director Nana exclaimed, very satisfied with the outcome of the scene. Like the magic had instantly ended, June's eyes lost their softness, and he took a step back. He smiled robotically at Arin before leaving the set. However, what he didn't know was that the magic wasn't really over for Arin. "I'm in trouble," she whispered.
