Episode 2: Bumping Into The Partner

《You Already Own Episode Two.》

"We'll keep in touch. In two weeks, you will get an email saying whether or not we want you to come back. Thank you for coming down today." One of the men said.

You nodded and then left the room. Someone called out for the next person. Once you were out of sight, you let out a big sigh. You couldn't believe you actually did that! Finishing your first audition! An abundance of adrenaline was going through your body. You felt lightheaded again. This time, it was in a good way.

A smile, a real and genuine smile, came upon your face. There was a possibility that you might not get a part, but for now, you were walking on air.

You made your way to the lobby. The bright colors in the carpet matched your mood. The receptionist at the front desk was busy typing away at something. From what you could see from the front entrance, the day still looked nice. You thought about what you would do for the rest of the day. Your mind was indecisive. Get food, do an activity, sleep, surf the internet... There were so many options and choices. How would you be able to pick one?

"It's still early. I could walk around and—" You fell to the floor. "Oof!"

You fell on your knees. Someone either pushed you, or bumped into you. It was hard to tell which one happened.

"Ahh! I'm so sorry! So, so sorry! I can't believe that I bumped into you..." Said a male voice.

You got up to face them. For such a simple fall, that was also an accident, he was taking it too deeply. Was he a high empath?

"It's alright, it's alright. I'm fine, haha..." You laughed nervously.

The person who bumped into you didn't seem to be as carefree or calm as you were. He had a hand covering most of his face. His uniquely colored eyes were looking everywhere else but your direction. You could've sworn he also had a blush.

"I-It's not fine! I bumped into you! Just like some lousy, lame klutz!"

His side-swept hair was a dark purple. Some of it partially covered his eyes. A pair of orange headphones decorated his neck. The sound of music could be heard quietly playing. It was a bit difficult for you to hear, but you assumed the music was in Japanese; That was the language it sounded like, after all. You also noticed a sticker on his shirt. It was a sticker with the number 27.

So this guy auditioned as well. I wonder what role he wants... You thought. You wondered if he was new to voice acting, just like you were. The sight of him didn't ring any bells. You would know if there were any voice actors in the industry that looked like him. He must have been a newbie, then. Perhaps you two could get along with one another?

"I'm fine. Honest!" You said. You changed the subject immediately. It was with hopes that he would forget about what happened. "So, um, what's your name? It looks like we both auditioned for the same show. It might be nice to keep in touch." A smile went on your face. You wanted to make a friend.

He was still fidgeting, and he was still refusing to look at you. You could tell he was trying to speak. But he was having trouble with getting the words out. Eventually he gave you an answer.

"Leviachan." He said before immediately regretting his answer. "No! Wait! Gah! I meant Levi! I'm Levi!" You could definitely see a blush on his face now.

"Levi? That's cool. What part did you audition for, Levi?"

"I, uh... Um..." Levi backed up a bit. He stayed silent for a minute as well. When the minute was up, his tone and personality changed drastically. "Obviously I auditioned for a part that would make any otaku scream for joy. I bet you don't even know who the character is because you didn't read the manga, you normie!" He was glaring daggers at you now. Why was he upset? What did you do? "I'm gonna become a great voice actor. Normies like you can't even begin to understand how great I'll be! That's why I auditioned for that character!"

He walked past you and stormed out. You were left confused and stunned. What in the name of hell? What did I even do? I hope that guy feels better. I wasn't trying to be mean or condescending... You said mentally as you shook your head.

Well that happened.

Levi left the building quickly. The headphones on his neck were placed on his head. He appeared to be trying to block out both his thoughts the environment. He did not turn around. He made a sharp right turn and began walking. Walking with anger, apparently. You watched him disappear from sight. There were all sorts of people in the world, then.

Back to the topic of what you were thinking about doing... After that interaction, you felt tired and hungry. You thought about ordering pizza or Chinese food to take home. You also thought about making something quick and easy at home.

You suddenly lost your feeling of adrenaline, however. Which was fine since it was nice while it lasted. You stood in place some more. Eventually you started walking again.

A great voice actor, huh? I'm sure I have what it takes too. I have the same chances as him. You thought. You were trying to make yourself feel better about the situation. Levi basically put you down, which was upsetting and weird. He seemed shy at first. Where did those feelings of anger and cockiness come from? It almost came off as jealousy in a way.

Whatever his emotions were, he was gone now. You wondered if you would ever see him again. The both of you are clearly now in the same industry. Wouldn't it be funny if you both got the lead roles? The chances of that were slim, though. Still, anything was possible.

When you ended up outside, you checked the time. Two weeks seemed so far away. How could you wait that long? In the span of two weeks you would either be given a callback or not. With a callback, you would go through phase two of auditions. Callbacks meant that they liked you, and well, called you back. Not having a callback meant... The opposite. You hoped that what you would get wasn't the opposite.

Only time could really tell what you were going to get. You just hoped that your fate was a good one.
