I Want to Be a VTuber

The release date for Kyungsung Lady was set for early November.

Considering the timing of film award ceremonies, it was a rather precarious period.

"With the late release, it might be difficult to receive positive evaluations at the awards."

If they were aiming for recognition, it would have been better to target the Baeksang Arts Awards in May of the following year instead.

Seoyeon thought as much and glanced at Jiyeon.

"Lee Jiyeon wouldn’t care about something like that."@@novelbin@@

A tense expression.

It was only natural to be nervous since this was the official promotional event as the lead actress of the film.

More than anything, it was her first lead role.

The pressure that came with it was beyond imagination.

There was no way she could remain calm.

Her own failure would directly translate into the film’s failure.

There was always the possibility of turning the efforts of countless people into nothing.

If the public ridiculed her acting and blamed the movie’s failure on her...

How many actors could withstand that?

"But."

Seoyeon smiled faintly as she looked at the nervous Jiyeon.

"She’d hate it if I tried to comfort her."

Seoyeon knew.

Jiyeon was proud, and back in middle school, she had once shown her true self to Seoyeon.

So she understood.

Poke.

Seoyeon lightly jabbed Jiyeon’s side with her finger.

Jiyeon turned toward her with a displeased face.

“What?”
“Nothing.”
“Hey, I’m nervous. Are you seriously messing around?”

Normally, Jiyeon would have retaliated immediately, but today, her reaction was lackluster.

So Seoyeon poked her a few more times.

Each time, Jiyeon flinched.

Even though Seoyeon was doing it lightly, it still hurt when she did it.

"Ah, seriously! I swear I’ll get back at you during the interview!"
"It won’t work."
“Damn it.”

Jiyeon glared at Seoyeon while holding her aching side.
