Fourth

Sooyun didn't expect that Minjae was qualified. Not even close.

He thought he would be dropped out immediately.

He had laughed when he first heard about the open auditions. He laughed even harder when he realized that lesser-known actors could apply. He never once considered that Minjae of all people would even pass, let alone standing in the same waiting room as him.

Now, seeing Minjae with a calm posture and quiet confidence in his eyes, something inside Sooyun twisted.

"This has got to be a joke," he muttered in the air, standing up straight again, the script crinkling slightly in his hand as he clenched it too tightly.

"You okay, hyung?" The actor beside him glanced over.

Sooyun didn't answer but still smiled.

He can't let his emotions sweep over him now that he is in a public space with his fellow actors.

Sooyung straightened his shoulders and relaxed himself. He pushed back the irritation that was rising at his chest.
