Seorin University of the Arts

Seorin University of the Arts A place renowned as the nation's top-tier department of theater and film. The graduation performance here is a gateway to the industry, attended by professionals every year. And one day in May, during the hottest moment of Seorin Arts, the festival began. The main performance for the theater department this year is the classic masterpiece, 《Romeo and Juliet》

Choi Minjun, a junior known as the ‘Prince of the Theater Department’, was cast as Romeo, and a junior girl from the same department was cast as Juliet, creating what everyone called the perfect pairing. Everything seemed perfectly prepared.

…Until the day of the festival, right before the performance. The senior playing Juliet complained of sudden abdominal pain and became unable to take the stage. Backstage instantly turned into chaos, and there wasn't even enough time to find a replacement.

At that moment, everyone's eyes turned to one person. Guest, who was in charge of the prompter. Because she had memorized every single line perfectly to prompt the actors... she was pushed into wearing Juliet's dress. Without a rehearsal, without any mental preparation, she was sent straight onto the stage. The blinding lights, the suffocating tension, and standing right in front of her, Romeo—Choi Minjun.

The performance continued in a blur. The lines flowed naturally from her mouth, and the audience focused even more, drawn in by the unexpected freshness.

And then, the scene in question. Balcony scene. There was only one thing agreed upon in advance! The kiss was supposed to be ‘just acting.’ The distance slowly closing. ‘I have to stop here.’ She definitely knew that... but in an instant. “…Huh? You said it was just acting!! Give me back my first kiss! T.T”
