As soon as I entered the studio, I was surprised by the number of people there. No one was paying attention to —everyone was busy. I glanced at my mother, and she was looking around, taking everything in.

It was a large place. We walked down a long corridor lined with many doors—dressing rooms, makeup rooms, and more. As we walked, a staff mber appeared to guide us.

"You're Mr. Kyo Evans, right? And this must be your mother. Please follow ."

"Of course," my mother replied with a smile to the young woman. She was wearing an earpiece in her right ear. Is she talking to soone?

"Alright, I'll head off now. I won't be going with you to your dressing room—I need to go sowhere else."

"I thought you were coming with ."

"Your mother is with you, so it's fine."

"Alright."

Rina walked away, and my mother and I were guided to a room. There was a door with a sign bearing my na.

Seeing my na there, I murmured, "Wow…"

I really didn't expect that.

Well… maybe I've been underestimating myself.

The role I got isn't huge, but it's not small either.

We entered the room. It wasn't very big, but it had everything we needed—a large mirror, chairs, a space to change clothes, and even so snacks. There was even a coffee machine!

"You can wait here for now. The makeup artist will be here shortly. Feel free to eat whatever you like," the woman said with a smile before leaving.

My mother threw herself onto the black sofa and said, "This feels like another world. I never imagined I'd experience sothing like this."

"Didn't you have a dressing room when you were a model?"

"Not like this, of course. I was never treated this well. I think my son is even more impressive than I imagined."

"I'm sure popular actors have even bigger dressing rooms and are treated even better." I gave a wry smile and looked at myself in the mirror.

After letting out a long sigh, I asked, "You have my MacBook, right?"

"Yes, it's in my bag. Do you want it?"

"I think this is going to take a while, so I'll write a bit to pass the ti."

"I thought you weren't nervous."

"I wasn't before I got here, but now…"

I grabbed so snacks, sat beside my mother on the sofa, and started writing while we waited. She watched for a mont and then asked, "What story are you writing now?"

"It's about a man who gets stabbed and is reborn as a sli in a fantasy world."

"A sli? Like goo or sothing? That's… strange."

"It's fun. You should read it when it's published."

After typing for about half an hour, the door finally opened.

The woman who walked in had short hair with red highlights and piercings on her lips. Quite a striking appearance.

She looked at us for a few seconds, then smiled.

"My na is Mika Kisaragi. You must be Kyo Evans. Wow, you're just as handso as they told . It'll be an honor to do makeup on a face like yours," she said. Her voice was slightly deep and pleasant to hear.

"Nice to et you." I smiled at her and handed my MacBook to my mother.

I sat in front of the mirror, and Mika started asking various questions while doing my makeup. It turned into a nice conversation.

In addition to doing my makeup, she also styled my hair. Instead of my usual hairstyle, she left my hair loose, reaching my shoulders.

The makeup was also similar to what I had before during that photoshoot—light and natural.

She placed her hands on my shoulders and asked, "What do you think?"

I smiled. "I think it looks great."

"Hahaha. What I'm about to tell you is a secret," she whispered. "You'll definitely stand out more than the main actor." After saying that, she left.

I turned to my mother and asked, "Did you hear what she said?"

"Hm? What?"

"It's nothing, forget it."

After a while, another staff mber ca in and helped with my outfit. I thought I'd be wearing sothing flashy, but it turned out to be typical clothes for a 17-year-old.

A simple shirt, simple pants, and sneakers.

They also handed the script for the scene we'd be filming today.

But now that I think about it… shouldn't there be a script reading session for practice? In many works I've read, there's sothing like that. But instead, they just gave the script to read.

The scene I'll be filming today is the opening scene, where my parents and my brother are having dinner at ho, and I arrive after spending the night out.

Even though my brother, Ryota Mizuno, is 24, he still lives with us because he hasn't found a stable job after graduating from college.

The scene is simple: I co ho after staying at a friend's place and attending a party the night before, and my parents get angry. A confrontation starts.

It's basically ant to introduce the dynamic of our family.

'In this series, my parents are pretty strict…'

While I was reading the script, soone knocked on the door.

"Excuse ."

The person who entered was soone I didn't expect to see.

Aya Fuji—a veteran actress who started acting as a child. The lead actress of this series.

I had been looking forward to eting her, but I didn't expect her to show up here so suddenly.

"We're waiting for you for the script reading," she said with a gentle smile. I froze for a mont.

"Ah, right. I'm coming. Mom, I'm heading out."

"Good luck," my mother said with a smile as I left the room with Aya Fuji.

Even though I'm walking alongside one of my favorite actresses in this world, I'm surprisingly calm.

It's better to act mature in a situation like this, right?
