Several days have passed and so far your plan for the roleplay is going smooth as you imagined it to be.
Though there is a little bit of a problem, and that is to find a suitable prince for the play.
You're not strict about the qualities you're looking for, it's just that...
Most of your male classmates are just bad at acting.
And you know that all of them weren’t really interested in becoming the prince. Their intentions are really just to get close with Minju…
Though you kinda understand their ulterior motive for this, you have no other choice since you lack the confidence to be at the stage yourself.
That's why you really trained some of your male classmates to be decent at acting. and after a few days, you finally cast one of your male classmates to be the prince.
Now the real problem has begun.
You've now started to write scripts about the main and side characters, which is a very hard thing to do.
You juggled your time between the newspaper club, academics, and producing the script.
You never complained about having a hard time since this is the thing you really want to do.
And your hard work didn't go unnoticed by your teachers and classmates.
Your classmates have been supportive of you along the way and they followed your instructions with precision.
Your teachers promised to give you extra grades no matter the outcome of the role play will be, which is a win situation for you.
However
Due to you having such a tight schedule, You rarely have time to hang out with Minju.
At first, Minju understood that you're going to be busy but she didn't expect that you would only just talk to her about her role and nothing more.
"I really just want my best friend back." Is the thought she always has, but she is keeping it all inside because she didn't want to bother you since she saw how hard you are working to make this role play successful.
-------
The school week festival is nearing and you and your classmates are busy doing the final preparations.
Your other classmates are doing their very best in making the props while you are now busy directing the actors and the actresses on what to do on stage...
And at that point, you realized you overlooked a very crucial problem
Minju was having a very hard time acting with the prince when it comes to romantic scenes.
You could clearly see that she is cringing when she is doing this romantic stuff with the prince while your male classmate on the other hand….
Let's just say he is having the best time of his life.
You can see that Minju is trying her very best. She did a great job acting in other parts of the script. But when it's time to do the romantic scenes, her acting will become as stiff as a robot, showing that she's uncomfortable with those particular scenes
You called for a break and you grabbed Minju's hand and took her somewhere that you guys will be alone.
-------
Upon making sure that you guys are alone, you ask her what's the problem.
And you didn't expect what's gonna happen next.
She starts crying and begins to blame you for what's happening to her right now.
She told you that she only accepted the role of being the princess because she thought you will apply to be the prince, But when you declined she became stressed because you're the only male that she's comfortable with.
She didn't want to let your classmates down, that's why she didn't back out.
After saying what she wants to say, she turned her back over you, walking away.
You wanted to chase after her and apologize.
But you can't move a muscle due to the guilt taking over your body.
" what should I do now?"
