With fire in my eyes, I said, "I promise I'll do my best!"
I had finally realized what truly mattered to me and I would never let it go and hold on to everything I got.
As for everything else, I would not care any longer.
There was a week left before the audition. I should have been resting after my surgery, but opportunities wait for no one.
I deleted all the food delivery apps on my phone and started eating salads and drinking coffee. By doing so I was hoping to reduce the swelling in a week. At night, I studied the script until late. Although it was just a supporting role, I analyzed every line carefully. The story was a Western drama and I was playing the male lead’s confidante, Mary Smith, whom he met when he had just tasted what love was. Though she was trapped in a life of hardship, she had a strong sense of patriotism. At a critical moment during the war, she decisively severed her romantic ties with the male lead. Though the role was small, for someone like me, this was a golden opportunity.
The script demanded a lot of discipline and sets of emotions from the actor, so I moved from home to the studio to make the most of this week.
