Yoo Yeon-seo, who returned home, weakly lay down on the bed. Regrets flooded his mind.

'Ah, I feel so stupid.'

Why did I act like that? Yoo Yeon-seo buried his face in the pillow. He couldn't stop the sudden surge of emotions.

'...Maybe my grandson could have complained to Grandma.'

There was so much pent-up frustration. With an effortful thought, he suddenly sat up. The pillow fell weakly to the floor.

'Let's not be swayed.'

This body is mine now. I can't afford to be thrown off by the emotions of the original. Yoo Yeon-seo clenched his fists after a long time and got lost in thought.

"[Yeon, Yeon-seo.]"

Park Geum-joo's shocked expression and trembling voice. For a moment, he almost stopped walking and turned back.

He didn't know why his past grandmother had pushed him away like that. But Park Geum-joo now regretted it. And she had tried, albeit clumsily, to approach.

'I didn't intend to, but I owe Grandma.'

Park Geum-joo was not only the head of Jusung, but also a person with outstanding personal abilities. There would be a time when he would need help no matter what.

Yoo Yeon-seo took out his phone from her pocket and looked at the screen.

There was no contact from Park Geum-joo yet.

"Shin Ju-ho ultimately declined."

"We had the meeting already. The atmosphere was good, wasn't it?"

"He feels too pressured, so he apologized."

The man bowed his head, not because he didn't understand. Shin Ju-ho was the most likely candidate for the role of Lee Tae-oh in 'Deficient People Season 2'. The original author even clapped hands upon seeing his face, and Shin Ju-ho was enthusiastic.

"It seems like he felt too much pressure. He's only just debuted as an actor."

"Sigh... Should we just cast a 2D character instead?"

"Still, wouldn't that be unsatisfactory?"

However, even Shin Ju-ho couldn't break through the thick wall of his strong fan base. He was still a rookie, and joining such a drama with many fans hastily might not be profitable.

"Hmm... Maybe we should hold auditions."

Of course, that spot was also coveted by countless aspiring actors.

At that moment, a flustered employee who had been talking outside entered and said,

"I just received a call from Halo Media. They said Yoo Yeon-seo is interested in our script and wants to schedule a meeting."

"Yoo Yeon-seo?"

People who heard the conversation were in a commotion. Could there be anyone here who doesn't know Yoo Yeon-seo?

"We sent him the script too, didn't we?"

"We sent it to everyone as soon as it was ready."

"He's interested in the role of Lee Tae-oh?"

"Yes."

Actually, they were just teasing if there were any new faces, but they hadn't expected someone to actually be caught.

"...His personality really fits Lee Tae-oh."

"Why didn't we think of him?"

It wasn't that his current personality was good; it was his personality from about two years ago. He was blunt, impudent, and sometimes seemed crazy, which was a perfect match for Lee Tae-oh.
