Rebirth: King to Superstar

Chapter 10 - Mo Yang, Friend?



'Star batch' was a fancy way of saying 'Class for students who are rich'. This was how Kim Joon-won understood after going through the memories. It was a class filled with people who were rich having the best facilities and teachers. Most of the people in that class use connections to get roles in movies, making the batch seem special.

The Star Batch also had the best teachers assigned to them. They were all veteran actors who stopped and would mainly share their experiences and versions of acting. The Teachers in the normal classes were utmost only B-class actors while there were a few A-class actors in the Star batch. These were enough for the students in the normal class to work very hard to earn a seat through chances like these.

"Of Course I want to go to that batch. We get taught by better teachers, and the exposure we receive when we are in that batch is also way better. Wait, Don't tell me you don't want to shift to that batch." she answered rather quickly and looked at him with a questioning gaze.

He simply shrugged at her and replied, "Well, I don't really care about it that much to stress over it like you are. If I make it I make it, If I don't I really won't think about it too much. There really isn't much of a chance for me to get into that batch, given how small my role actually is. So no high hopes."

Hearing his words made her silent as both of them continued to walk towards their class. Joon-won noticed the awkward atmosphere and said, "Well, don't think too much about it. My skills are not that good to get a good role. Well, just work hard to get into that Star batch you are aiming for." she simply nodded.

Reaching the entrance, both separated as she made her way towards her group of friends and he went to the back where he remembered the seat was. Going all the way back, he sat right next to the window. Looking outside, he saw the block entrance but couldn't care less and leaned his head on the bench before closing his eyes.

Being in his own world, he snapped back as he felt a tap on his shoulder. Slowly lifting his head, he saw a brown-haired boy sitting right next to him while tapping on his phone. He easily found who the boy was as he went through the memories. His name was Mo Yang.

Mo Yang was the person Joon-won was closest to in the university and was also the first friend he made after coming here. As he slowly went through the memories, he got a clearer picture of the guy in front of him.

"Bro, did you party without me yesterday? You should have called me." Mo Yang asked as his hands were still typing on the phone.

As he got a clear understanding of Mo Yang in his mind based on the memories, Joon-won couldn't help but roll his eyes and reply, "No, I am just tired. That's all." Not wanting to go into further conversation with the guy.

Mo Yang was the biggest reason the old Joon-won changed after coming to the big city. This guy used to drag the old Joon-won to multiple parties every week and was the major reason Joon-won went further and further away from the original reason he got into the university.

"Bro, do you want to come to this party today? I just received a message and there will be girls from other departments too. Maybe we can get lucky and you know, spend the night with some of them." Mo Yang chuckled before finally looking down at Joon-won while waving his phone.

He couldn't help but take a deep breath while pushing himself off the desk and replying, "Come on, man. It's exam week. The play at the end of the week is really important and you want to go out and party? You are lucky to get a non-acting role in the play, but I at least have a minor role, so let me work on it and try to score a few points." Sounding a little pissed at how Mo Yang was trying to distract him from the exams. Unlike himself, Mo Yang did not even have a role and was part of the production crew, but never really cared much about it and always liked to party around.

If it was the old Joon-won, he would have agreed immediately, but it was different now and Zen Su was not the same. He needed to use this chance given to him properly, and this drama was his first step. Even though he doesn't care about the marks like he just said, just acting again would give him that starting push he needs for the summer break after the exam.

"Alright man chill. Don't sound so pissed off, I wanted to invite you so that you can chill and rest a bit. I can see you are putting some work into this test. Alright, I'll tell you about any party after the exams. I'm sure you will be free after that right?" As he smoothly tried to show he cared about him.

But Joon-won wasn't buying his stuff as he noticed the teacher walking in and said while shrugging, "Whatever you say, man. Be quiet now, the teacher came in." Trying to pay more attention to the middle-aged man in the class center.
