The genius actor who brings misfortune (505)

“(Can you really tell me?)”

Mia burst into laughter when she saw my sparkling eyes.

“(Of course. What’s so difficult about that?)”

“(Then I have a favor to ask.)”

“(Yeah! But it’s a bit strange.)”

what?

When I tilted my head, Mia shrugged.

“(When we were filming the ‘Lilly’ music video, you gave me some advice, right?)”

At the time, Mia had become accustomed to the sitcom character she had been filming for several years and had a hard time immersing herself in a different character.

I had to play a teenage girl who was embarrassed in front of her first love, but it was difficult because the character I had always played, with her weird speech and crazy smile, kept popping up.

‘What did I say then?’

I racked my brain but nothing came to mind.

Mia laughed in vain at my appearance.

“(You really don’t remember? I’m still acting while thinking about what you said.)”

“(Did I say something that impactful?)”

“(You call that talking? You’re really a strange kid. You only remember the troubles you’ve caused others, but you don’t remember the times you’ve helped them?)”

Mia pinched my cheek and said, “Eww.”

“(That’s what you did back then. If you feel like you can’t escape from your current character, try acting as if that character has someone you like.)”

But the character Mia played in the sitcom wasn’t the type of character that boys would like.

So I asked Mia to think of a cat that her character likes in the play.

‘Ah, now I remember.’

It was only after hearing that that I remembered the conversation from back then.

‘(Try acting while thinking of that cat. I think you can build up from the feeling of liking it.)’

‘(Is that okay? The setting is that you’re looking at a boy you like, but you’re thinking of a cat… That’s not true.)’

To Mia, who was hesitating, I said this.

It doesn’t really matter whether it’s true or not.

‘(I just have to act. At least for the moment of acting, it’s entirely up to me to decide what’s real and what’s fake. What I think is all there is, and in my world, that’s real.)’

Even if what I act out is different from reality, I just hope the viewer doesn’t feel it.

I remembered him telling me that I could do it, that I should try to make him feel that way.

“(Your advice helped me a lot back then. Why not give it to me too?)”

“(hmm….)”

“(Think about it. I could do it, so there’s no way it couldn’t be possible for you.)”

Mia said calmly, as if stating an obvious fact.

I was grateful for the confidence in those words, but for some reason I felt embarrassed.

“(that is….)”

I opened my mouth and scratched the back of my neck.

“(I was going to do that at first too. I thought that since I didn’t really like it anyway, I just had to change it a little bit.)”

It would have been much easier if it had been acting where you could see the eyes and facial expressions together, rather than just the singing.

Because there are more weapons that can fool people.

But unfortunately, now I had to sing.

“(If you want to convince people with just your voice, you have to be completely immersed.)”

After getting Lily’s feedback in the first practice, I found several scenarios based on first love.

As always, I tried to choose a character and sing while immersing myself in that character.

Fortunately, there were many scenarios and a lot of reference materials.

“(If you follow along, it will sound plausible. The problem is….)”

When I trailed off, Mia smiled as if she knew what I was talking about.

“(You’re not satisfied with that?)”

“(……huh.)”

I nodded awkwardly.

‘I want to do it right.’

Even if it was a song I would only sing once at a concert, I didn’t want to sing it carelessly.

It was separate from my desire to not ruin Lily’s concert.

‘I don’t want to treat the field of singing roughly.’

For me, acting was both life and a disease.

A life where acting itself becomes the goal, rather than gaining something through acting.

A disease that requires one to continue to act and live with, even if no reward is given in the future.

‘That would be the song for Bihyeok.’

Lily’s concert stage, which I hesitated to attend just because I felt it was burdensome, could be a dream for someone else.

Of course, that didn’t mean I had to feel guilty, but at least I didn’t want to lose my respect.

‘You have to do it right.’

I didn’t want to just pretend to follow along, I wanted to really immerse myself in it.

The feeling of having a crush on someone.

I wanted to fully immerse myself in the intense and passionate feeling of first love.

‘But how?’

Numerous question marks interrupted immersion.

I asked a question to a character that exists in print, but there was no answer.

‘If only I had just a little more time…’

I wish I could have had a conversation with the writers who wrote the scenario.

But this was America, not Korea, and above all, there was no time.

“(Aha~.)”

Mia nodded, as if she finally understood.

“(Then let’s talk! Feel free to ask me anything you’re curious about.)”

“(thank you.)”

“(I’ll tell you everything. And then what?)”

Mia smiled brightly.

“(You’re acting like me. Can’t you just sing like that?)”

“(……You are truly a genius.)”

Mia laughed heartily.

“(Haha! I know that too. So what are you curious about?)”

“(Have you ever kissed?)”

“(You might as well ask if he ate.)”

Mia explained in great detail.

Mia, who didn’t really like men, loved her ex-boyfriend so much that she decided to get married.

Although the ending was not good, he said the emotions he felt at that time were still vivid.

The trembling when you first touch it.

A signal between the two of them, exchanged silently with their eyes.

The warmth and stability you feel when skin touches skin.

‘You guys, really reflect on yourself.’

It was a vivid experience that I had never heard from Jinbae and Jeonghyeon.

I wrote down everything Mia told me.

“(If you have any further questions, please contact me anytime.)”

“(Thank you, Mia.)”

After breaking up with Mia, I practiced immersing myself into the character of Mia.

There was always a window to ask questions whenever I had any questions, so there were no blocked sections.

So, it was the second day of practicing ‘Lilly’ to be sung at the concert.

“(Tell me, ‘Try to like me.’)”

I sang with my eyes tightly shut.

It was dark ahead, but I was clearly looking at someone.

“(I’ll tell you. ‘I like you.’)”

Even after singing the last lyrics, I couldn’t easily get over my emotions.

I slowly opened my eyes only after the accompaniment from my headphones ended.

And the look on Lily’s face as she looked out the window….

“(……You, what are you?)”

There was a mixture of shock, confusion and bewilderment.

I had a gut feeling when I saw that.

‘Yay.’

I finally did it.

Lily Sweetie thought.

‘Is he crazy?’

I thought she was extraordinary from the beginning.

Lily Sweetie learned about Lee Yeon-jae through the popular American TV talk show ‘The Jim Fury Show’.

At the time, he was nicknamed ‘Bloody Boy’ after the popular drama ‘Killing Horn’ aired.

Until then, he was honestly just ‘an Asian actor on the Jim Fury Show.’

Although there were many points that the public could find attractive, it was not enough to sustain interest in the long term.

That’s why people couldn’t help but be incredibly surprised when Lily suggested Lee Yeon-jae to shoot a music video.

‘Is he that much?’

That was about it.

At least for Lily.

Unlike his neat face, he has a lot of sense and playfulness, and even a secretly sly side.

Lee Yeon-jae gave off a vibe that was very similar to Lily’s first love.

‘They’re different races.’

Isn’t it so strange?

Anyway, for this reason, I wanted Lee Yeon-jae to be the male lead in the music video.

But he refused to appear on the show, using the excuse of a school trip, and Lily had no time to feel hurt and had to quickly adjust her schedule.

That was the day I first met Lee Yeon-jae.

‘(Hello. This is Lee Yeon-jae.)’

‘(…….)’

Lily was convinced the moment she saw Lee Yeon-jae in person.

This album will be a huge hit.

‘That’s actually true.’

The music video for ‘Lilly’ featuring Lee Yeon-jae and Mia Brown currently has 720 million views.

Lee Yeon-jae had 590 million views right before she rose to fame with ‘Atlas Dilemma’ and ‘Dead Express’, so it’s safe to say that the additional 130 million views are Lee Yeon-jae’s.

That is, Lee Yeon-jae when she was filming the ‘Lilly’ music video and Lee Yeon-jae now are standing in different positions.

‘This one will definitely go up.’

Lily wanted to release a duet song before Lee Yeon-jae got too busy.

It’s hard to believe that his main occupation is acting, because his singing skills are quite good.

‘Ha, I should’ve licked it first before that bastard Tom snatched it away.’

Tom Washington, a famous producer, was her best friend, but he was also a bit of a slacker.

If you knew that Lee Yeon-jae sang well, you should have given it to her right away.

‘I never thought he’d make an album with his own songs.’

Even the two songs that came out that way, ‘Bambi’ and ‘Biyeon’, were really good.

After that, Lily pestered Lee Yeon-jae for several years to collaborate.

But every time I got back, it was a sharp rejection.

The reason was that he was not sincere about singing and could not approach it lightly with that kind of attitude.

‘What the hell are you talking about?’

Lily wanted to scream.

Contrary to what Lee Yeon-jae said, this industry is full of kids who aren’t sincere about their singing.

Lily, who had survived as a singer-songwriter in the industry for 10 years, was in a situation where she was so resentful that she thought she was going crazy.

‘It’s not as pure a place as you think!’

After endless screaming, the dream finally came true.

‘at las!’

I got to work on a collaboration song with Lee Yeon-jae.

Since the theme of this concert was set as a love song, Lily decided to have Lee Yeon-jae perform on stage as a test concept.

But then I reached an unexpected wall.

‘So… harmless.’

Lee Yeon-jae gave off a harmless feeling, like a plant that existed in the corner of a room.

No, I like something harmless.

But there was a big difference between something exciting and something harmless.

After nearly 20 attempts, nothing changed, so we parted ways, promising to meet again next time.

And now, I’m practicing for the second time.

“(……You, what are you?)”

Lily had goosebumps all over her body.

“(Do you have a girlfriend? Do you have a lover in the meantime?)”

She asked with a surprised face.

On the other hand, Lee Yeon-jae’s reaction was calm.

“(What are you talking about?)”

“(Or what did you do? How did you do it??)”

The song Lee Yeon-jae sang last time was closer to a fan song.

It had a strangely charming feel to it, so overall it was cute and sweet.

But the song you just sang was completely different.

‘There’s tension, right?’

A mixture of affectionate and soft eyes and subtle sexiness.

A sincere voice that makes you have all kinds of fantasies the moment you hear it.

It felt like it was not a singer standing on stage, but a person I had a crush on during my school days singing to me one-on-one.

“(What on earth have you done?)”

In response to Lily’s question, Lee Yeon-jae explained how she practiced.

He said that after hearing his friend’s story, he got absorbed in the song and sang it.

‘crazy….’

She shook her head with a weary expression.

It was finally confirmed.

Lee Yeon-jae sings like an actress.

He was a true actor.
