Chapter 87

I became the older brother of a top star, Chapter 87

I carefully read the script sent from the studio.

It's a drama about a female protagonist who comes to Sungkyunkwan with a lowly status and a woman's body, and the events that unfold with the male leads.

“I can barely remember it.”

Since it was so popular, I vaguely remember it too.

I remember watching it with my friends, but I can't recall the content of every episode.

However, one thing I do know is that there are a total of 3 male leads in this drama.

And they were all handsome and well-known actors.

“So I didn’t want to do it at first.”

I didn’t want to take someone else’s role and ruin their career, so I initially planned to reject the romantic drama at Sungkyunkwan.

But after the studio persistently asked me to consider it and I decided to read the script they sent, I noticed something...

“Why did the number of male leads increase?”

According to my memory, there were only 3 male leads.

But in this script, there are 4 male leads.

“Did I remember it wrong?”

Out of curiosity, I called the studio that sent the script.

“Oh, that role? The writer has been preparing this work for the past 5 years. But after seeing Yoon Sung, he was inspired and decided to add one more male lead.”

“But didn’t the original content get ruined? I think it would be better to go with the 3 male lead system and exclude me...”

“Don’t worry about that. The writer has already revised the work very neatly. In fact, it’s even more interesting than the previous version. But he said he can’t release the work without Yoon Sung...”

There was a reason why the studio kept persuading me.

The writer said he wouldn’t shoot the drama unless he found the actor he wanted.

‘Well, there are many people like that.’

I heard that drama writers usually think about who they want to cast in a role before they start writing.

When I was a manager, I often saw scripts written with the intention of casting Yuna in a role.

Among them, there were some works where Yuna was persistently persuaded to accept the role even if she refused.

I even saw the writer personally come to Yuna to beg her to accept the role.

This shows that there are many drama writers who won’t proceed with their work unless they cast the actor they want.

“So please consider it positively. This work will definitely succeed. Even though I haven’t been in the industry for long, this is the first time I’ve read a script that was so interesting and made me want to know what happens next. I’m sure you’ll think the same after reading it.”

I know that too.

This drama will definitely succeed.

It was a big hit in our country.

But there is one variable.

‘The content revision is a bit concerning.’

This drama has a variable because it could change the future.

And if I appear, it will add another variable.

“I understand.”

I hung up the phone after hearing continuous requests.

“Why not give it a try? I think it would suit you, big brother.”

“Did you read the script?”

“Um... roughly? I just peeked while you were reading it. Hehe.”

Yuna actually wanted me to appear in the drama without reading the script.

“With a face like yours, you could probably do a good job, right? You’re a handsome man from the Joseon era! Besides, you’re not playing a villain, so I think it would be fine.”

“Just because you have a good face doesn’t mean you can act.”

“Come on. Everyone knows you’re a good actor. Do you know how many people have testified that their acting skills improved after receiving feedback from you during filming?”

That’s not entirely false.

Acting isn’t particularly difficult.

The main characters in this drama are all popular people, and their acting skills have been verified.

If I absorb their aura, I’m sure I can deliver a good performance.

‘Acting...’

I’ve only thought about performing on stage with Yuna, never about appearing in a drama.

“It will be a good experience, big brother. I felt so proud and happy after finishing the filming of High School.”

“Really?”

“Yeah! I’m sure you can do it. And I can help you practice acting too.”

“That’s true.”

Yuna is a pretty good actor, so she would be a great help during practice.

“Okay. I’ll think about it more.”

Actually, I was already leaning towards it.

I thought it wouldn’t be bad to appear as a drama lead once.

“But what about that?”

Yuna was eating a pearl ice cream and tilting her head.

“Huh?”

“You’re going to do it.”

“Ah, that’s right.”

He didn’t look particularly worried.

He tapped his chin a few times and answered.

“Of course, we have to do it!”

“Hmm, you want to do hip-hop? Really?”

“Hehe. Oh, maybe not?”

I’ve seen Yuna rap in a karaoke room before.

And Yuna’s rapping skills were...

‘Terrible.’

Rapping is a completely different genre, so even if you have excellent singing skills, you can’t necessarily rap well.

This is because rapping requires a specific diction and voice.

“No! You can do well with practice!”

The problem is that I’m not particularly good at rapping either.

“Can you really do well? Then why don’t you try singing one of your favorite songs?”

“I’ve been practicing hard! Play a song. I’ll show you how I’ll be reborn as the god of rap today.”

Her confident attitude made me laugh.

I turned on the song Yuna usually likes and also started recording.

“...”

I quietly turned off my phone.

“No, why did you turn it off? I was in the middle of singing.”

“...Yuna.”

I grabbed Yuna’s hand, which was holding a spoon like a microphone.

“Let’s give up on rapping.”

“Aww, really!”

I genuinely thought she couldn’t rap.

But if she can’t rap...

“Maybe you could do well with a feature...”

There was a part in the song HOME where a female singer featured.

“Why don’t you try singing that part?”

Yuna looked at me with a pouting face.

“Just once, please. Okay?”

“Fine.”

As the music started, Yuna sang the featured part.

“...”

I quietly turned off my phone again.

Yuna’s voice got higher.

“What? Was that bad too?”

No, actually the opposite.

Yuna’s sweet voice fit the song perfectly.

If she used this emotional tone to make hip-hop songs, they might be quite good...

I grabbed Yuna’s hand again.

“Yuna, let’s please not rap and just sing.”

“...”

Yuna shouted “Mom!” and ran into the bedroom.

This is all for your own good, Yuna.

I prevented you from becoming a permanent part of your black history by stopping you in advance.

“Ooh, ooh!”

Yuna was curiously looking around the airplane.

The flight attendants were smiling and watching Yuna, finding her very cute.

“Big brother, it looks like we succeeded.”

Only then did Yuna, who had stretched out her legs in the spacious seat, speak.

“I thought we would be in business class, but first class! And this plane is so new that the first class is much better than other planes!”

Yuna and I were currently on a plane.

We were heading to shoot the second season of a show.

While the first season was filmed domestically, this second season would be shot abroad.

The broadcasting station even provided us with first-class tickets.

They also sent us earlier than scheduled, saying we should sightsee before filming.

“This show has done well thanks to the two of us. Haha. I’m also enjoying this luxury. I’ve only ever flown economy.”

The PD also looked around the first-class cabin with bright eyes.

“But big brother, you don’t seem impressed?”

“Yeah, has Yoon Sung ever been in first class?”

Of course not.

I had only flown a few times, and I had never even been in business class.

I was actually very curious and was looking around, but I was also tense because it had been so long since I last flew.

These two probably thought I was calm.

‘Now that I think about it, I’ve never been abroad with Yuna, right?’

Due to Yuna’s illness, we had to avoid airports and planes as much as possible.

And although Yuna was popular in Asia, she had never been abroad.

So I remember her only working in Korea.

“Ladies and gentlemen, the plane will take off shortly. Ms. Jung Yuna, please take your seat.”

“Wow, sister, you know my name?”

“Of course. We remember the names of all our first-class passengers. And... I’m also a fan of the Yoon siblings, so I couldn’t not know.”

“Oh, I see.”

“Can I get an autograph if it doesn’t bother you...? Of course, you don’t have to if it’s inconvenient!”

“If you make me a delicious ramen, I’ll take a photo with you~!”

“Sure, I’ll remember to make you a delicious ramen.”

Yuna’s charm had already spread to the first-class flight attendants.

The pink aura I saw was proof of that.

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome. Today, we will be responsible for your journey...”

Soon, the pilot’s voice echoed through the speakers.

The flight attendants then demonstrated how to handle emergency situations.

Not long after,

Whoosh!

The plane, which had been running powerfully, lifted into the sky.

“Whoa!”

I couldn’t help but clench my fists and stiffen my body.

I quickly put on my headphones and played a song.

Coincidentally, it was the recording of the song Yuna sang yesterday.

“...Ha!”

I burst out laughing at Yuna’s ridiculous rap,

“...”

But as the melancholic voice of the chorus featuring part flowed, I felt my tension slowly dissipate.

I closed my eyes and relaxed.
