"God so arrogant you sir! I'm normal, too, sir. But my time is up for you, so how can I test my normalcy" Han said in frustration.

A bright morning with warm sunshine. The hustle and bustle of the city has begun with noise filling the ears. Several vehicles appear to be milling around in front of a magnificent multi-storey building. The building is Glory Entertainment, one of the largest companies in the entertainment world. And that's where Krystal and a few other artists took shelter.
On the 5th floor of the building, Krystal and Manager Felix are having a meeting with director Peter and scriptwriter Lisa. They were talking about a movie where Krystal would be the female lead. They were talking about the male lead who was still empty.
"Should we have an audition?", Krystal asked the director.
"Actually I already have a candidate who fits perfectly with this character even I think he has good chemistry when juxtaposed with you, Krystal" explains director Peter.
"Emmh, really? I'm a little curious. I believe Mr. Peter's choice must be the best. I would love it" Krystal said, trying to make the director happy even though he didn't know who it was.
"But I'm afraid Miss Krystal doesn't like it" wrote Lisa. He smiled meaningfully
"Ahh where possible. Miss Lisa must have known I always agreed with Mr. Peter's opinion. Isn't that so sir?!", said Krystal who was very trying to take the director's heart.
"Emmh, perhaps", replied Mr. Peter ambiguously as he put his shoulder around.
She had worked hard to come this far in order to get the female lead of this film. Because the film titled "Black Romance" is predicted to be successful in the market as well as the novel in which this film is adapted from it. The film with the genre of comedy, romance and action has been much awaited by loyal fans of the novel.
If Krystal can become a female lead and successfully play her, surely her name will soar in the entertainment world. The concern was already high he imagined, so his efforts should not fail this time. Whatever happens. Moreover, Glory Entertainment being his main investor, he couldn't possibly embarrass the name of his company. Also the name of the President who always brought his to strengthen all his goals.
A handsome man knocked on the short door and immediately barged into the room casually and did not forget to spread charm on every air in the room. He combed his blonde hair with his fingers. Then she rolled one eye at the writer Lisa and then Krystal. Krystal was upset.
"Why did you come here?", reprimanded Krystal who immediately rose from her seat and ruffled her waist. His eyes were barking at the man.
That person instead smiled sweetly at Krystal and stepped closer to Krystal. Krystal became alert and took a few steps back until she was cornered to the table. His opponents grinned even more.
"What do you want?", Krystal is becoming. His voice was squealing in the ears of everyone there. But to be honest he was a bit afraid of facing someone at this close distance. She used her acting skills to cover up her nervousness.
His interlocutor leaned his face toward Krystal's face. He's passing on every expression of Krystal. Then he nailed his face right in front of Krystal for a while. Krystal made him more nervous, he was still trying to cover it up.
Then the man turned his back to Krystal. Krystal breathed a sigh of relief because she thought that person was already about to leave from before her. It turned out that the man suddenly turned his body again to face Krystal. And leaned his face again before Krystal's. Krystal was getting nervous, this time she couldn't cover it up. Suddenly his laughter broke. He was slumped while holding his stomach.
"Louis, stop!", commanded Master Peter while shaking his head. Writer Lisa and Manager Felix also shook their heads. They do not understand the behavior of this actor. He is Louis Harris, a top actor from Gold Entertainment one of Glory Entertainment's rivals.
Louis stopped his laughter with great difficulty. He wiped the grain of his happiness at the end of his eyes. "Is that how much you don't like me?! But you were nervous when you came close to me" said Louis mocked Krystal whose face was red with shame and anger.
Krystal was upset, she stomped her feet against the floor so hard that it made a noise. Then he sat himself down with a sullen face.
"Master, what does this mean?", asked Krystal in a rather high tone who actually already knew the answer. It's just that he needs a more definitive answer.
"Don't I just say, he'll be your co-star. She's your male lead", explains Mr. Peter flatly. Krystal set her sights on Louis asking for clarity. But the one who was stared at instead smiled while raising his shoulders. Krystal was pouting.
"And didn't Miss Krystal say that 'Mister Peter's choice must be the best'?! Isn't that Miss?!", Writer Lisa again confirmed with a slight wry smile.
"So we've actually done auditions before, and we've already got the male and female lead. But since Glory Entertainment is the main investor in the film, we made Miss Krystal the lead. This is all we do also for the sake of pleasing the President. It just so happens that Miss's acting ability is not bad either", Mr. Peter tried to explain the problem. Louis smiled winning.
Hearing the name of the President called, Krystal became excited. Now he no longer cares about the presence of Louis who sucks for him.
"Emmh, really! Ahh it turns out that the President was too judging myself more. I'm so flattered" said Krystal with a smile of her own. He tried to be humble in front of the others. Even though the heart is soaring.
"Yes of course, we might have disappointed the President. Since Glory Entertainment is its biggest investor, then of course the number one artist we took. This is a great opportunity to take the President's heart. Because I heard Miss Krystal has a special relationship with the President, so please give a good impression of us to the President, how Miss", said Mr. Peter smiled who apparently had the intention of choosing him.
The words 'special relationship' hurt Louis' ears. But he's good at covering it up. Louis has loved Krystal since his debut 3 years ago. But Louis is good at covering it with the evils he makes every time he meets. Because in the entertainment world, relationships are complicated.
But unfortunately Krystal never considered his presence. For Krystal, he was just a friend or partner in her work. Coupled with Louis' behavior that sometimes drained Krystal's emotions. They look more like Tom and Jerry.
Hearing Mr. Peter's words, Krystal smiled ambiguously. "Oh, well, Mr. Peter. Take it easy, I will definitely convey beneficial things to you, Sir", said Krystal. He turned his face and then grinned.
"Huh, how do I deliver it. Even meeting him was difficult. But let it be, most importantly right now they believe I am very close to the president, haha. Who do they think is using" Krystal said in her heart.
Now that Louis was completely fed up with hearing their conversation, he was grieving "cheer!". Then he tried to divert their conversation so as not to become a sickening chat for him.
"Emmh, so how is the director. When are we going to start the script reading session with the other players? I really can't wait to pit my acting skills against this beautiful Miss Krystal. That's right, Krystal?!", he said, propping his chin with one hand and smiling sweetly at Krystal.
"Cih!", Krystal screeched in annoyance. "You're shameless!", he continued.
"Look at Mr. Peter, isn't he so adorable", Louis teases Krystal.
Krystal stomped her feet hard then left the room with her face folded. He closed the door hard.
Those left behind shook their heads while chuckling. But Louis was even broken.
"Stop! You're a troublemaker. Just be careful if there is a problem. The male lead I won't give you!", said Mr. Peter, threateningly, then hitting Louis on the head with a few rolls of paper.
"Hey, haven't you seen my abilities! Will you get an actor more talented than I am" Louis chuckled as he held his blow to the head. And they came back to shake it.
