Never stopped smiling [5]

Acting... 

It was tough. 

I never once thought it was easy. But at the same time, my life was an act. I had grown used to this life. So much so that I started to feel uncomfortable showing a happy and cheerful look. 

My every smile felt forced, and I felt a strange sense of discomfort. 

Nonetheless, I needed to do this. 

For the act... 

I needed to smile. 

'I need to forget. Immerse myself.' 

For one brief moment, let myself become the character of the play. 

But that was easier said than done. 

I was unfamiliar with the character, and the only resource I had to replicate it was a simple description.

This was why I never once aspired to be an actor. The only reason I had even agreed to do this in the first place was because I wanted the money. 

But things were different now. 

....I needed acting. 

I needed to understand the last emotion. 

'Love.'
