You're now panicking over the news of your male classmate not being able to attend this very important day.
You tried thinking of any solutions to solve this problem. Who can be the prince?
You tried asking your other male classmates if they can try being the prince, but due to the time constraint and them having different roles for the play, they rejected your request.
Though while you are trying to persuade the other boys to try doing the prince role, no one is accepting.
Your female classmates were talking about making you take up the role as the prince. Their reasoning being you should be able to do this, since you're the one who made the script. You knew the whole play from the back of your hand since you were the one who created it.
And it didn't help that Minju was also pushing your female classmates to give you the role.
Though Minju expected that you would decline, she approached the homeroom teacher and asked for her help.
Your homeroom teacher agreed on you taking the role.
Your female classmates including the homeroom teacher approached you and told you their decision and you immediately declined. You did not want the role, no matter what they offered.
They started to reason with you, that if this will not be a success, then all of your hard work producing this will all be in vain.
And that hit you right in the chest...
You remember all those sleepless nights you have, trying to perfect the script.
And your classmates were doing their best to make this role play to make this successful. Could you really back down on the people who were also trying their best as well?
"Can I really do this?" you asked yourself, doubting your skills.
Though the look on your classmates tells you that they completely trust you, making you gain a small bit of courage.
You finally agreed to be the prince and told them to give you time alone so you can practice...
-----
And now here you are, practicing your lines, trying to make your acting acceptable as much as possible.
Luckily, You remember the tips you gave to your male classmate while he was practicing the prince role, though you can already tell that it's very hard.
Unbeknownst to you, Minju is watching you practice the whole time. She pities you for being inserted into the main role with very little time to rehearse but at the same time, she's happy that she will be able to perform with you.
"I guess I won't need to wait till next year to perform with you on stage."
-----
After spending the entire morning practicing, you finally returned to the theater.
You immediately ask your classmates to do a final rehearsal and they all obliged.
While you are performing on the stage, your classmates that are watching you act can't believe that this is your first time acting.
They can tell that you have the talent to be an actor, it's just a shame that you lack confidence but more importantly……
They noticed that the chemistry you have with Minju is really solid. There's no hint of awkwardness between you two when acting those romantic scenes.
While you, on the other hand, were actually enjoying this.
"I never thought that I'm going to enjoy doing something like this."
It also helps that your classmates are cheering you, boosting your confidence that you can actually do this despite being so shy.
------
After the rehearsal, your classmates praised you for doing a good job.
Though you didn't believe them.
but it doesn't matter to you since the only goal in your mind is to be decent and to not let your classmates down.
Meanwhile, a certain figure was seen lurking around the theatre, watching you act.
A genuine smile grows across his face as he watches you acting the prince role.
"All according to plan."
