Legendary Superstar-Chapter 142: Final Auditions (5)

Minjae joined them on the table. The four of them sat in comfortable silence. The tension from earlier had now eased since the audition's hardest parts had already passed.

In the distance, a staff member adjusted a camera, readying it again. The judges whispered among themselves quietly, their notes were already filled with written words.

Then the door opened.

Everyone turned to it. In there, Sooyun appeared.

Sooyun's steps were calm, like someone fully aware of every eye in the room. His hands were tucked into the pockets of his coat, and his perfectly styled hair swayed slightly with each step.

The way he carried himself screamed confidence… too much of it.

His gaze scanned the room briefly before landing on Minjae.

A smirk rose to the corner of Sooyun's lips before he appeared in a meek expression as soon as his gaze landed on the judges.

"Good afternoon everyone, I am Kim Sooyun. Thank you for having me again."

It was disgusting to hear that Sooyun could have that friendly and warm tone in his voice.

Minjae just stayed silent on one side.

"Let's begin with Scene 14, Sooyun. I know you already know the process." Director Kang smiled at Sooyun and gave him a nod as if he was expecting something good from Sooyun.

"Of course, Director." Sooyun flashed another charming smile before stepping into the center.

It was the same emotional scene that Minjae played. Sooyun rolled his shoulders once, as if shedding the friendly act. And in an instant, his entire vibe shifted. His posture straightened and his gaze hardened.

The room quieted again, as Sooyun slipped into the role like it was just his nature.

Sooyun stood in the center of the room, shoulders tense, expression blank at first. But as the emotional scene began, his eyes slowly filled with restrained pain.

His voice was steady, low, and clear, each word carefully placed.

"Forgive me. It's been a decade… Ten long years…"

Sooyun's timing was perfect and his pauses were thoughtful. Sooyun was good at acting. He was controlled and his lines were practiced. He looked like someone who had done this a hundred times.

When the first scene ended, the judges gave a look of approval.

They gave a few compliments before moving to the next one.

"Thank you, Sooyun," Writer Mirae said with a light smile. "Let's move on to Scene 56."

Sooyun nodded calmly and took his place for Scene 56, the one with Sir Cole.

Just like with Minjae earlier, Cole appeared with a wooden stick on his hand. The two showed a good fight on the room, with Sooyun reciting the lines as intended.

"Do you think I'm a fool?" Sooyun's voice was filled with sarcasm and anger as they fought.

He delivered the lines in a different way than Minjae, so it was satisfying to see.

By the time Scene 79 took place, it was clear to everyone that Sooyun had prepared thoroughly for this day He gave a version of the scene that was polished and cinematic even.

After Sooyun's audition, the judges exchanged glances. Director Kang gave him a small nod. Writer Mirae scribbled something down without comment. And Director Lee Jimin had a faint smirk of satisfaction on his face.

"It was good Sooyun."

"Your talent really shone on this one."

"You were really well prepared, and I like the way you portray the emotions of the character.

The judges share their thoughts on Sooyun's performance. After a brief moment, one of the staff members stepped forward. "

Actors, thank you for your hard work today. You'll now be escorted to separate viewing rooms."

The five of them, Minjae, Sooyun, Jaehyun, Hyunwoo, and Seungmin stood up and followed further instructions. One by one, they were directed to individual rooms where screens had been set up.

"Please take this time to watch your previous auditions," the staff member announced. "Director Kang wants you to reflect before we proceed."

Jaehyun, however, didn't need to watch the audition all over again. He leaned back in his chair with arms folded behind his head.

Jaehyun glanced at the pen in front of him, his brow slightly raised in curiosity. Just then, a staff member entered his room, holding a clipboard and a small stack of envelopes.

"Jaehyun-ssi," the staff said gently as he approached him "This will be the final part of your audition."

Jaehyun leaned back a little, his arms still folded behind his head.

"Final part, huh? I thought I was done."

"You will be, soon."The staff offered a polite smile and stepped closer.

"Each of you will be doing this privately. Inside this envelope are the names of the other four participants: Sooyun, Minjae, Seungmin, and Hyunwoo. You need to rank them from 1 to 4 based on who you think deserves the role the most. One is the most deserving, four is the least."

"Seriously?" Jaehyun blinked, then gave a short, breathy laugh.

"Yes. All five of you will be doing this." The staff's voice remained calm but firm. "Please be honest with your judgment. The directors believe everyone's insight is valuable, especially after watching each other's performance."

Jaehyun's gaze dropped back to the envelope now lying flat in front of him. He reached for it slowly, his fingers tracing its edge.

"I see," he murmured.

He couldn't help but chuckle when he thought of it.

"I guess I need to be objective then," he uttered at the staff, who was waiting patiently on the side.

He sighed and nodded.

"Alright, I understand," Jaehyun muttered before his attention shifted to what he was supposed to do.

'So who should I rank first?" Jaehyun's mind suddenly was filled with thoughts.
