Since my 6th birthday, when I started doing things on my own, many events and changes have occurred.
But there has been one thing that has remained unchanged.
That is, my determination to lead a relatively regular life.
“Mom, it’s 7 o’clock now, so I’m going to work out.”
“Okay~.”
In simple terms, it means going to bed and waking up at the same time every day.
To sound more impressive, I’m spending each day according to a pre-arranged schedule.
Still, it seems that the effects have been quite certain.
Seeing that I’ve never caught the flu, which everyone inevitably gets at least once.
As a famous doctor on TV once said, a structured lifestyle significantly helps with health management and maintaining one’s condition.
Additionally, perhaps due to continuing various minor exercises, I’ve recently started to see some semblance of abs.
My singing classes with Daulby and the acting academy I started attending when I entered elementary school have also been quite mundane.
Every week, on the same day and at the same time, I headed to Daulby’s studio or the acting academy for classes.
However, what still weighs on my mind is.
“Hello. I’m Lee Ha-eun, and I’ll be taking acting classes with you from today—”
“Hey, who doesn’t know your name around here?”
‘…Is that a compliment or an insult?’
The child actors belonging to Luna Entertainment don’t seem to think much of me.
They’ve already gossiped about me behind my back several times.
However, no matter how I think about it, I don’t believe I have done anything to make them dislike me.
When I asked Min Da-yeon, the only person around me who can talk about these things, she said.
“It’s jealousy. The representative personally took you to the audition for the neighbor uncle, right?”
“So what?”
“Seriously, are you asking because you really don’t know, or are you pretending not to know?”
“It’s just that the representative took their own agency’s actor. What’s the big deal?”
“It’s obvious that Lee Ha-eun is being favored. That kind of favor isn’t given to just anyone. So, how do you think that looks in their eyes?”
It turns out those kids are exhibiting what is known as territorial behavior.
Since I entered Luna Entertainment, I guess they have been resentful that I made a good impression on CEO Jeong Do-cheol.
I couldn’t help but feel a bit unfair about that.
In the case of the neighbor uncle’s audition, it was already confirmed to be happening regardless of my will.
I simply went because I was told to, and I worked hard, as I always do.
“…Would saying this just make me look worse?”
“Do you have to ask to know that, you fool?”
Anyway, for now, it seems difficult to get friendly with those kids.
So for now, I decided to focus solely on taking acting classes.
Thus, I managed to finish the class and returned home.
These days, preparing for the child actress audition for the lead role in “You from the Stars,” scheduled a few days later, has become my routine.
I’ve also been watching the broadcasts of “Da Ramji,” which starts late every evening and continues until I go to bed.
No, I even had to watch it when I could.
Because….
“BJ”
Da Ramji (0ekfkawl0)
“Manager”
D.A (eldkdlqslek123)
‘…How did it come to this?’
One day, Da Ramji suddenly promoted me to the position of broadcast manager.
Of course, now that it’s a proper corporate entity, I wasn’t the only manager of Da Ramji’s broadcasts.
But I didn’t have the confidence to manage the chat as skillfully as the other managers.
So, on the same day I received the manager privilege, I asked to be sent back to being an ordinary viewer.
“Hm, should I say Diah is my original intention? I gave you manager status because I was worried you wouldn’t work hard enough if you forgot about the times when it was just the two of us.”
<D.A: You seem to be working hard enough already….>
“Anyway, you don’t have to manage the chat like the other managers. Just keep it. I feel reassured when I see your nickname.”
In the end, my refusal was met with refusal.
It seems they think of my nickname as some kind of talisman.
Realistically speaking, it was impossible for me to join every time Da Ramji went live.
But for some reason, it felt like I had to be in Da Ramji’s broadcasts during the time I used to watch regularly.
Anyway, I was thankful that Da Ramji had some interest in me.
However, since I hadn’t given up on my dream of becoming a Virtual YouTuber, it was better to maintain a good relationship with Da Ramji…
But perhaps because Da Ramji remembered my nickname differently from my original plan,
I started to wonder if this was okay.
Of course, there wasn’t really a problem at the moment.
Thinking about it, watching Da Ramji’s broadcasts to reflect on how I should conduct my own broadcasts later didn’t seem like a bad idea.
So, I prepared a separate notebook to reference Da Ramji’s broadcasts.
I jotted down what kind of situations prompted which kinds of energy or tension.
Or how to deal with so-called troublesome viewers, even if only briefly.
Whatever anyone says, there are hardly any internet broadcasters more famous than Da Ramji at this point.
Seeing that most of my classmates are discussing stories related to Da Ramji’s broadcasts, it’s clear that Da Ramji is in the middle of their prime.
Most importantly, considering who I had to portray in the “You from the Stars” audition,
It was definitely necessary to learn from Da Ramji’s lively energy or occasionally demonstrated clumsiness.
‘Hmm, Ha Eun is really good at acting like someone her age, but her role as a child feels a bit awkward.’
The part I was most criticized for in the previous acting class was precisely the childish aspect.
Because I had instinctively rejected the childlike behavior due to my matured mind that contrasted with my small, short body,
I needed to learn and practice to be able to present a childlike appearance, even if late.
After all, people look for child actors primarily because they need someone childlike for the scenes they want to film.
While that’s not the whole story, it will have some influence, especially in the upcoming “You from the Stars” audition.
“Now, let’s hide 10 sets of bread here. Come back about two minutes before the game ends—”
– ? What’s that green thing behind you?
– Da Ramji, behind you! Look back!!
– Why is that sparkling?
– Creeper spawn = Da Ramji is doomed to be last again today.
– 30 minutes of work evaporating one second before it happens.
“Huh? Where’s the creeper…? Oh no no no!! My bread!!”
Thus, I captured the sight of Da Ramji, who became a beggar in an instant, losing all their items once again.
Just like how I had observed Kim Min-jun all day long a long time ago.

“Da-yeon, watch me act.”
“…Hey, Lee Ha-eun. We’re competitors, you know?”
“Then I’ll watch your acting too.”
Immediately, Da Yeon captured the naïve expression on Ha Eun’s face, as if to say, “This is how it should be?”
This left her speechless.
It was just so confident and shameless.
The fact that she had just asked without any ill intentions raised Da Yeon’s blood pressure slightly.
“M-my lord. Please walk a bit slower. With a girl’s slow pace, it’s difficult to keep up with your quick steps.”
And so began Ha Eun’s acting.
Regardless of anything else, Da Yeon had long ago acknowledged Ha Eun’s acting.
For now, she decided to watch Ha Eun’s performance.
If by any chance Ha Eun stuttered or made any mistakes, Da Yeon was prepared to tease her fiercely.
But as Da Yeon knew Ha Eun, she was just like she had always been.
“But, this is louder than I expected… Isn’t the market supposed to be this noisy?”
From the moment Ha Eun started her lines until the end, Da Yeon didn’t feel a single mistake.
Thus, she crossed her arms and stared at Ha Eun with narrowed eyes.
“How was it?”
“…You look like a little brat trying too hard to look noble.”
“Uh? But, wasn’t Han Yu-hwa originally like that—”
“Shut up. Anyway, now it’s your turn to let me inspect you. Keep your eyes wide open.”
And so, Da Yeon recited the lines Ha Eun had just delivered in a voice that was deliberately exaggerated.
She also skillfully displayed body movements that Ha Eun hadn’t done.
The compliments Da Yeon received afterward were pure admiration, as if she were a veteran actress.
To be fair, while Ha Eun had spent quite some time preparing and had lived a distance away from the camera, Da Yeon had continuously received roles in both films and dramas.
It was only natural for Ha Eun to admire Da Yeon’s acting.
Her gaze was so natural that it felt as if her lord was right there in front of her.
Despite trying to walk quickly, her awkward pace hardly differed from before.
Everything she displayed was intentionally shown to diminish Ha Eun’s spirit.
It was also the result of a lot of analysis Da Yeon had done on the script for “You from the Stars.”
However, as time passed and the day of the audition finally came.
– Stumble.
“Uh, uh…! M-my lord!”
Seeing Ha Eun display the precarious walk that Da Yeon had previously shown, Da Yeon finally realized that she had made a mistake.
‘That annoying brat really…!’
In the end, Da Yeon had inadvertently taught Ha Eun how to act.
The price for being blinded by a moment of showing off was truly lamentable.
