Chapter Title: Inner Beauty Script Reading Scene
-----------------------------------------------------------------
How much had I ravished Im Eun-ha's body in a frenzy?
Though she looked a bit worn out, having held back for so long, I obsessively flipped her around, thrusting into her from every angle.
We'd changed locations all over the place, leaving clear traces of our intense lovemaking scattered throughout the workshop.
The poorly ventilated studio was thick with the musky scent of semen like night-blooming flowers and the sticky aroma of her love juices.
"Hoo..."
In a face-to-face sitting position, I gripped Im Eun-ha's waist as she nestled deeply in my arms and lifted her up smoothly.
"Eek...?!"
Having ejaculated inside her multiple times and plugged her up with my cock, the moment I hoisted her body...
Her soaked pussy from our marathon session convulsed, spilling thick white semen in heavy drops.
I felt a slight fatigue, but I wasn't tired by any means.
I stood from the sofa, wiped the semen dripping from her pussy with some tissue, and sat her down.
Im Eun-ha slumped against the sofa, eyes half-closed.
"Hnn, Oppa... This feels too good..."
The moment I broke Im Eun-ha's hymen, her subordination level hit 50%.
And the 'Sturdy Stamina (B+)' I'd coveted from her fused with my existing talents to become 'Tireless Stamina (A)'.
Thinking about talent grades...
If A+ is top-tier enough to vie for the pinnacle domestically, then A-grade is the elite right below it.
Son Sia, hailed as an acting genius, possessed an A-grade 'Acting Genius' talent.
So what would A-grade stamina entail? Probably on par with pro athletes who make fitness their livelihood.
Just a hypothesis, but even at Taereung Training Center, only a select few would have A+ talents, while most athletes sit around A-grade.
That A-grade stamina, 'Tireless Stamina (A)', was now mine.
It felt like power surged through every inch of my body.
I sensed the fatigue from sex, but it wasn't enough to diminish my physical performance.
Yet I wasn't satisfied. I decided to use the long-hoarded Mammon's Reward.
The reward from completing the quest to max Son Sia's subordination to 100%.
Gazing at 'Tireless Stamina (A)' in my talent list triggered text to appear before my eyes.
[Reward: Elevate one talent of A-grade or lower by one rank.]
[Apply reward to A-grade talent 'Tireless Stamina'?]
'Use it.'
'Tireless Stamina (A)' has advanced in rank to 'Phenomenal Stamina (A+)'.
With the message acquiring A+ grade stamina...
My cock, which had softened after five ejaculations, suddenly sprang back to full attention.
"Wha, huh? O-Oppa...?"
Having just set Im Eun-ha on the sofa and stood in front of her, she stuttered in shock at witnessing my renewed erection.
'Stamina is national power, indeed.'
Stamina. A talent I considered far more crucial than looks or acting prowess.
Plenty of stunning, talented actresses out there, but one with exceptional stamina? Rare, I'd bet.
Panting...
My cock screamed like it was the first time, demanding a hole to pound.
Truly 'phenomenal' levels.
I smirked down at Im Eun-ha, whose face paled in dismay.
"If it's okay, mind if I borrow your pussy one more time?"
Late May.
Fixer from Hell was airing its 7th episode, with ratings hovering steadily between 18% and 19%.
Male-Female Best Friends filming progressed smoothly, and Im Eun-ha had long since become unable to live without my cock.
Slurp, smack, slurrrp, slurp, smack-!
Stroking the head of Im Eun-ha as she eagerly sucked my cock while bent over on the bed, I glanced around her room.
A life-sized teddy bear sat in one corner, and the room overall had a bright pastel vibe. Pretty cute.
"Pha...!"
She paused sucking, lifted her head, saliva dripping from her lips, and asked me.
"Oppa, when's the Inner Beauty script reading?"
"The 30th."
Though Jung Woo-jin's scenes in Inner Beauty were backloaded, schedules like the script reading and press conference had been coordinated with the Male-Female Best Friends team.
"So jealous... I wanna be in a hyped project like that someday..."
"With your talent, you'll get recognized in no time."
No empty words. She had exceptional acting talent.
Through filming and OST work, she'd given me vocal feedback to shore up my inexperience, and I'd helped her acting.
I knew zilch about acting techniques or theory, but I could demonstrate, and she'd grasp the essence just from watching and apply it instantly.
Thriving in multiple fields meant her mind was sharp as a tack.
Plus, her acting improved rapidly, so though unconfirmed, her talent might rival Son Sia's.
As I pondered, Im Eun-ha climbed atop my saliva-slick cock, spreading her pussy with her fingers.
Sluuuurp-.
She lowered her hips, her soft, moist pudding-like pussy enveloping my cock until her plump ass pressed against my thighs.
"Hnn, hnnng... So deeeep...!"
After impaling herself, she collapsed onto me like she was melting.
"Th-that Han Woo-hee sunbaenim has some bad rumors..."
"Huh? Heard something?"
"A friend of mine who's an actor oppa said she toys with guys then dumps them. Bad quality girl."
"Who...?"
Im Eun-ha whispered in my ear.
"Lee Jae-hoon. Keep it secret!"
"Really? Unexpected. Don't worry. If Han Woo-hee acts up, I'll put her in her place."
Im Eun-ha giggled, playfully punching my chest with her fists.
"Oppa, seriously. How would you handle a senior like that? Stop joking-."
She waved her hips and ass on my cock as she spoke.
"Pound my pussy deep..."
The Inner Beauty script reading took place in a hotel event hall.
Director Son Jung-hoo, overseeing the whole production, was absent, but staff bustled about, meticulously checking the venue.
"Hey! Don't put the water here—ask the hotel to chill some. We've got time."
"Left side!! That chair's in the camera shot! Clear it!"
"Reporters! As you know, if you come this way you'll be on camera, so if you must leave during the reading, exit beyond this line. Phones on manner mode, please."
With Director Son Jung-hoo's prestige and lead actress Han Woo-hee, the Inner Beauty script reading drew reporters who'd battled fierce competition, their faces alight with anticipation.
"Han Woo-hee's comeback after laying low. This is bound to blow up."
"Han Woo-hee, Teacher Kim Myung-hee, Teacher Son Chul-soo. Promote just the cast, and everyone's dying to see it."
They prepped article frameworks based on the promoted key cast.
Tap, clack clack-.
No need for intros: Korea's premier actress Han Woo-hee, plus veteran duo Kim Myung-hee and Son Chul-soo.
Inner Beauty's stellar lineup made it a surefire hit from their angle.
Soon.
Actors began entering the script reading room one by one.
First was Lee Myung-jo, ex-UFC fighter playing energetic Tuesday the giant. A cameo with few lines, but his recent variety show buzz had reporters murmuring.
"Movie's a movie—such diverse casting."
Next, Lee So-hee as Saturday the young high school girl.
"Hello! I'm Lee So-hee!"
Her bright smile stirred the press again.
"Child actress Lee So-hee?"
"Looks like. First role in ages—she's grown into a full actress now."
Then Kim Hee-seong as Wednesday the ugly man, known for his pitiful face and comic relief roles, familiar to the public.
With the protagonist changing appearances weekly, each character's vibe was distinct.
As they whispered about who was next, reporter Kim Sung-hee at the entrance gasped, hand over mouth.
"Gasp...!"
"What?"
Following her meerkat-like gaze, reporters spotted a tall man in a light cardigan and black slacks.
"......"
A brief silence.
"Fuck. He's insanely handsome..."
A soft mutter escaped someone, but in the hush, it boomed like thunder in their ears.
