“Learn to dance from me.”

“Dance?”

“Singing and instruments are probably common. You need to be able to dance to stand out, right?”

Then, lightly bounce and ride the body waves.

Even though it is the most basic of basics, the dance line changes when Eugene moves it.

The movement of the K-POP goddess that has captivated the world has been different from the start.

“Dance… I think it’ll be okay.”

“Right?”

If dancing is your specialty, you will go to the practical dance department or the musical department, so dancing is a rare talent in the entertainment department.

‘At least it’ll stand out more than the song and the instrument.’

“Your older sister is working so hard to get you to pass, so instead of sitting in a corner and practicing, look for things like this and go around.”

“Why are you my older sister?”

“She’s mentally older, so of course she’s the older sister. She’s probably 2 years older.”

‘He looks two years younger than me, but he’s acting like that.’

But I didn’t say anything out loud.

That guy’s hands are secretly very strong, you know.

Eugene is crazy about dancing these days, saying she wants to become an idol.

After Sora left for the US, she was on a roll as a top female child actress, but everyone was surprised when she suddenly said she wanted to become an idol.

I guess I’m somewhat responsible, but I was surprised in another sense.

*

“That fox in Neuronji who can’t live without looking at you… Do you like her too?”

“Good.”

“What?”

“She’s pretty, she sings well, and um… she dances really well too. She’s really pretty when she dances.”

I was just stating facts.

It’s true that she’s pretty, good at singing, and good at dancing.

I said it to express my love as a fan.

Of course, Eugene took it in a different way.

“Huh. I can do much better than that kid! I’m better at dancing and singing than acting.”

“Then try it. If you do better than Yuri noona, I’ll become your fan right away.”

“Really?”

I never thought you would actually become an idol.

“But why did you apply to Seorim Arts High School? There are also Hanyang Arts High School and Eunseong Arts High School.”

Hanyang Arts High School is close to home, and Eunseong Arts High School has produced many famous actors.

In fact, if your goal is to become an actor, it would be right to apply to Eunseong Arts High School.

“I like it because my school has a lot of idols, but you don’t.”

“That’s what I’m saying. You didn’t even think about it. Why are you suddenly applying to the same school as me?”

I lightly ignored Representative Oh’s suggestion that we go abroad to study and enroll in a music school or film academy and submitted my application along with him.

“If you went to a regular high school, I wouldn’t have applied here.”

“No, what does that have to do with anything… .”

“I heard a lot of idols and trainees go there. Do you think they’ll leave you alone if you go in? I have to be there too so they can’t get near you.”

Oh, really?

“So why are you applying to a school like that!”

Actually, I didn’t necessarily intend to go to the preview.

Since the shackles are off, you can postpone going to a regular high school.

‘The future is telling me to go, so there’s nothing I can do.’

The future prediction directly shows what needs to be done and what will happen later.

The sudden clarity of vague memories of a past life is also an intervention of future foresight.

What they have in common is that when I solve them, a precious relationship is created.

A few years later, a private school corruption scandal breaks out at Seorim High School.

There had been public rumors going around that the chairman had been embezzling tuition and sponsorship money for personal use while neglecting the poor school facilities, but this was finally exposed.

The trigger was a video exposing internal corruption made by several department students.

[I accuse]

This video, made in a musical format using their specialty, caused a huge stir, surpassing 10 million views through the YouTube algorithm.

Eventually, this was covered by investigative programs such as PD News, and the Board of Education conducted a special audit and reported the chairman to the prosecution.

This incident sparked a large-scale movement to expose corruption in private schools, creating a social phenomenon comparable to the Me Too movement.

‘They’re telling me to delay this for a few years.’

Principal Seo Chang-beom and Vice Principal Na Gyeong-man, who were on the students’ side, are falsely accused of confronting the chairman and are dismissed.

In particular, Vice Principal Na Kyung-man, who was a respected director, is hurt so much that he cuts ties with the world.

‘The vice principal who is close to the teacher can also help.’

It was unusual for memories to become clearer around the time of freshman recruitment.

I’ve seen since kindergarten what happens when you act when your memory is clear.

If you solve this problem this time, you will have a connection that will secure the future.

It’s like when you clear a quest in a game, you get a reward.

‘Of course you can’t miss it.’

This is why I supported the Seorim announcement.

“Haa, haa… Is it okay now?”

I knocked down all the guys guarding the door.

Returns the strangely twisted fingers to their original state.

The large wound on his side is slowly fading away.

What’s the point of talking?

I am immortal, even if I am torn and cut, I will return to my original state.

“There’s something inside me that’s going to kill me… .”

When I opened the door, a dim light appeared in the middle of the dark room.

A hooded man appeared beyond the dying candlelight.

“Is it you who called me?”

“To be exact, you came because you wanted to. You want to die.”

“You can kill me.”

“Why do you want to die before that?”

“Because it was free. At first, it was good. How good it would have been to live without dying and looking young. I lived doing everything I wanted to do. But you know… .”

“… … .”

“It was useless. After the person who loved me and the person I loved died, nothing I did was fun. As time passed, only the pain piled up. That’s when I realized. Eternal life, living as an immortal, was not a blessing, it was a curse.”

“So that’s why you want to die.”

“Yeah. That’s when I found out about your existence. You said you could kill anyone, right? Now, kill me.”

“… … .”

“Why are you like that? Are you scared when you actually try to do it?”

The man sitting across from me took off his hood.

“Ugh! You, you… !!”

I was astonished to see a being that looked exactly like me.

Why do I have one more?

“You look exactly like me. Kkeuhehehe… Okay, okay. I can die now!!”

The person across from me is laughing like crazy.

It is a smile of joy that one has finally achieved it.

Why are you smiling like that?

“What the hell happened? Why are you laughing like that when I asked you to kill me!”

“Kuhaha, sorry, sorry. I was so happy that I did that.”

“What are you so happy about? What do you mean you can die? Kill me!”

“If I look exactly like you, then you deserve to guard this room. This is a room for the immortal.”

“Room for immortality?”

“Yeah, only immortals can come in. But what if there are two immortals here?”

“Two immortals…?”

“Yeah, that’s right. I’m immortal too. And now you’ve come in and become an immortal who can die.”

Then he took out a sharp knife and stabbed his neck without hesitation.

“Ouch!”

“Hey, hey!”

“In this… room, there should be only one immortal… So… Lord, if you want to die, find another immortal… and bring him… .”

“This, this fucking kid. Why now… .”

“I… how much I wanted to die. Thank you… really, thank you.”

.

.

.

First, he returned to reality, cursing the dead immortal.

It was the most emotional acting I’ve done in recent times, but it was more bearable than I thought.

The ten years gave me the physical and mental strength to endure the aftereffects.

When my tangled emotions had somewhat resolved, the teacher returned.

“Have you decided on free acting?”

“Yes, sir. I’ll do this.”

I handed the script to the teacher.

“Director Kim Si-woon is there.”

“I think Director Kim’s style suits me.”

This is the script for director Kim Si-woon’s ‘Immortal and Doppelganger’, which was released two years ago.

Since it is a scene where the same face is talking, it can also give the feeling of one person playing two roles.

It is a scene where the joy of being able to die and the despair of having death taken away from you intersect.

If the aftereffects had been the same, I wouldn’t have even thought about it, but now I can do it.

“Is it okay if it’s a scene where you can easily get caught up in emotions? If you express completely opposite emotions at the same time, it’ll get tangled up in your head right away.”

“So I practiced many times. It’s definitely different from before. I guess time solved it, just like the teacher said.”

“Hmm… Well, let’s see. Let’s start from scene 38.1.”

“Yes, sir.”

I put the script in front of me and regained my emotions.

.

.

.

“Oh, really, he’s better than Hosang. He’s also someone who can act with emotion, but I don’t know what to say when I see your acting.”

“I still have a long way to go. I can’t possibly follow the screaming scene at the end.”

“What? You didn’t just read the script? This is a paid movie?”

“Ah… Sorry.”

Since it was a movie I saw before returning, I just talked about it without thinking.

“Guy, right. Well, it’s not porn, right? Don’t tell Siwoon that you saw it. Even if the movie was made like that, he’s secretly a good-natured man.”

“Of course. Don’t worry.”

While preparing for the free acting, Eugene diligently learned popular boy group dances.

“After practicing this, I’ll film a cover dance video with you.”

“Why is that?”

“Shouldn’t I leave proof that I raised you? I already told Sora.”

He even made plans to take pictures and post them, lightly ignoring my opinion.

Eugene’s YouTube channel is better than most girl groups, so if she uploads cover dances, she can definitely make herself known… but no matter how much I think about it, it’s not for me, it’s for her own selfish reasons.

Well, I can turn a blind eye to this level of selfishness in helping you.
