Hit The Stage
Description
Woo Jiho is a freshman on campus who's already notorious for his hardcore rapping and adequate grades. The only problem is that no music programs are offered. Desperate to find an elective he can enjoy, he signs up for a theatre class. He's seen dramas all the time, and it doesn't seem too hard, right? Well, it really depends on his just as hardcore and stoic teacher Jung Kiseok.
Will Jiho be able to sway the stubborn theatre master?
Foreword
A story where a determined Woo Jiho wants to impress the skilled and talented Jung Kiseok, and ends up getting much more.
"Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once," Jiho recited, letting his confidence exude as he placed himself in the shoes of Julius Caesar. His chest felt warm as he finished belting out his voice, hoping to have achieved the persona of the once great leader of Rome. Full of hope, Jiho's arms were still poised in their grandeur stance, but he soon let them drop as he was met with nothing but silence. All the fellow students just stared, and Professor Jung looked like he was ready to kill. His right eyebrow was raised in a pointed, unimpressed arch, having witnessed the tacky attempt at acting from his student.
Professor Jung stayed in his seat, leaning back casually, but chose to glare emotionlessly at Jiho.
"I don't know if you think my class is a joke, but if you think that being a leader constitutes being cocky, proud, and ostentatious, you are clearly enrolled for the wrong class," he calmly said, nonetheless pointedly. His eyebrow relaxed now and Professor Jung's hands busied themselves with shuffling the papers on his desk. Jiho's face burned, but he refused to blush, not when his relentless, tacky teacher just insulted his thoughtful performance. He chose to smile softly at his teacher, nodding.
"Alright, Professor. I'll take that into consideration," Jiho replied, voice dripping with sarcasm although he tried his best to appear sincere. He was in an acting class after all. Jiho was certain that his teacher was no better, but he held his tongue back, unwilling to receive anymore unwarranted criticism. He turned hotly on his heel, rolling his eyes now that his face was no longer in front of his professor's, and stalked back to his seat. A deep, mocking chuckle was heard behind him.
"Tsk, if anything, your attitude is most suitable for Calpurnia. You have the fiery nature of a woman," Professor Jung remarked, causing the class to erupt in giggles. Jiho could almost hear the smirk that was probably on the elder's face, but he said nothing about the insult, only angrily twirling his pen between his fingers. He was willing to give a chance, but now, he's ready to fight back, no matter what the consequences.
