Fill the Blank - FAYEYOKO

A few days had passed since Faye joined the crew to search for the role of A-Nueng. Ninestar Studios had issued a new, urgent casting call for the main role. Applications were pouring in, including profiles of candidates who had previously been rejected in the first round.

The staff were taking a break after a long day of auditions. Wan and Ice remained seated in their director's chairs, discussing the profiles of all the candidates who had auditioned since this morning. The current situation got them both feeling burned out. To their surprise, finding the right actress for A-Nueng was proven to be even harder than casting for Khun Nueng.

Faye stretched her arms with a lazy hum in the corner of the room. During the break, she had been reading Blank, a novel she had bought in both online version and physical book version. It amused her that she had purchased both just to see if there were any differences between the versions. As expected, there were none... she just laughed at herself as another silly things added in her diary.

The script of Blank the Series, written by CEO Wan, captivated Faye's interest. It sparked her curiosity to dive deeper into the characters of the two protagonists and explore their development further. Despite the strict CEO's warning not to read the novel, Faye couldn't help but feel a rebellious streak. Her playful nature and deep curiosity drove her to ignore the advice.

'I read the novel solely to gain a better understanding of A-Nueng so we could identify the right cast for it.' Faye thought to herself, justifying her actions.

A-Nueng was portrayed as a smart, cheerful child with strikingly beautiful eyes. Despite her youthful appearance, she displayed remarkable maturity and insight. Resilient and determined, she faced numerous challenges with unwavering resolve. Her emotional depth ranged from vulnerability to intense passion, and she had a playful, mischievous side that she often showed around her beloved Auntie Nueng, whom she affectionately called Ar Nueng. Despite their significant age difference, A-Nueng never wavered in her pursuit of happiness.

As with previous days, when break time ended, Faye joined Wan and Ice to continue the auditions that had been going on since the morning. They sighed as the last candidate failed to meet their expectations for the role of A-Nueng. The staffs felt a wave of disappointment as the last candidate walked out of the room.

Ice lowered her hat and leaned back in her chair to rest, while Wan rested her head on a pile of papers on the table in front of her. Murmuring, she said, "Why is it so hard to find someone who can still look cute while being annoying?" She then glanced at Faye discreetly, wondering why she had set the bar so high.

'Is that the last candidate for today?' Faye thought, stretching her neck and shoulders after a long day. She stood up and walked over to the staff, asking if she could get a cup of coffee.

Meanwhile in the corridor, someone was wandering to search for the audition's room. She tried to have a peek at each door she opened.

As everyone was preparing to end the day, they were surprised by a knock at the door. Someone pushed it open and peeked into the room.

"Ack..." said the person, her head peeking out from behind the door. She smiled shyly, slowly pushing the door open further but hesitating to step inside the room, "Hello... is this the audition room for Ninestar Studios' casting?"

Faye held her breath the moment she heard the voice. The name 'A-Nueng' sprang to her mind. The voice sounded cheerful and charming, and Faye swiftly turned around to find its source.

'So cute...' was her first thought upon seeing her. Then it hit her, 'That's it... that's the A-Nueng...'

A wave of relief washed over Faye as she gazed at the young girl. The girl appeared innocent and clean, dressed in a casual chic style-a simple, well-fitted T-shirt paired with high-waisted jeans and minimal jewelry.
