Chapter 106 – Start Shooting in Earnest

The entrance to the company building.
A woman was walking in front of me.
Holding three cups of coffee with her two hands.

It’s kind of precarious.
If I drop it, won’t it bounce on my side too?
Wouldn’t it be better to walk a little further?

A man busily walking in front of him pushes through the glass door at the entrance of the building.
The glass door that opened hastily closes strongly with the recoil.
At the moment when a woman with coffee passed by.

“Ah.”

Blank.
Just before the woman slams into the door, she blocks the glass door with her arm to stop it.

“Are you okay?”

It wouldn’t have been necessary to do this dangerously,
It would be better not to cause even a small trouble.
Because this is my company.

The woman with the coffee looks back.

“Ah, thank you… All…”

Time stops.

Round eyes.
Sharp nose.
Playful lips.

A familiar face, a familiar voice.
My first love
It was Suna.

* * *

“Katt! Good! Hey~ The expression before and after is so good!”
“Thank you.”

Yesterday was an indoor shoot, today is the first outdoor shoot.
The first scene I filmed was the scene where I ran into Kim Sun-ah at the entrance of the company.

It’s an important reunion with Kim Sun-ah, his first love, a coffee PPL, a company PPL, and at the same time, a scene that has to show that the picky male lead is actually sweet.

“Are you happy today? I was just pounding.”

Following the director, she was also praised by Shin Ji-hye.
Phew. It seems to be fine.

“Senior too.”
“Sister.”
“Yes. Wisdom sister.”

To me, an older sister is Soyoung noona.
As a result, the title noona does not stick well.

“Look at this. This look here. It is this expression that is both perplexing and welcome, with bittersweet feelings about unfulfilled first love.”
“Go, thank you.”

While monitoring the filming, the director spares no praise.
Are you trying to raise new actors with praise?
I’m grateful, but it was so exaggerated that it was unfamiliar.

“Now then, let’s go to the next scene. Building terrace god.”

Kim Sun-ah and Hwang Jin-woo met by chance.
The two sit on the terrace and relax.

First love that has already passed more than 10 years.
When we parted, we broke up badly, but when we met again, we were able to talk while laughing.
Because I really loved you
Because we spent the brightest days of our lives together.

But now Hwang Jin-woo is the head of a project team at a large company.
And Kim Sun-ah was a salesperson for a small venture company.

“You mean Jinwoo is the head of the team?”

Surprised Suna.
It was worth it.
Because I met Kim Sun-ah after taking off the title of chaebol second generation.
Kim Sun-ah does not know that Hwang Jin-woo is the son of the company’s chairman.

I loved genuinely as person to person, man to woman.
That’s why Hwang Jin-woo couldn’t forget Kim Sun-ah.
Because Kim Seon-ah is the only woman who loved Hwang Jin-woo himself, not Hwang Jin-woo, the son of the head of a conglomerate.

“… Director. I want to shoot that solo scene again.”
“What? Why?”

Actress Shin Ji-hye, who kept filming well, suddenly declared a bombshell.
The director, of course, is dumbfounded.

“Because people have changed, emotions have also changed. The one I took before was for Joo Jeong-hwan, so I want to take another picture for Jin Seon-hu.”
“… Mr. Wisdom. I know she wants to do well, but she can’t afford it. How many times have you told me you don’t have time?”
“Take it again, though.”
“Her.”

Actress Shin Ji-hye was also surprisingly stubborn.
Actress Shin Ji-hye asked to do it with the director who said no.
After arguing for a while, the two eventually found a compromise.

“Not everything. We will only reshoot a few important scenes.”
“Great.”

She was the decision winner for actress Shin Ji-hye.
And the director’s ordeal was just the beginning.

“Director. If that’s the case, I’ll do it again.”

This time she was a mother.

“Why is Shinhye like this?”

The director was in a mood to cry.

“Because my son became my real son. I can do better.”
“Her. Are you serious?”
“I am completely sincere.”
“Mr. Shinhye. You know we don’t have time.”
“You’re doing this because you’re going to send it to China first, right? Then, the previous film is edited for Chinese use and sent, and the newly filmed film is newly edited for domestic airing.”
“Oh my. This is Shin Hye. Are you going to kill the editorial team? Save me too.”

I was watching the scene from a distance.

I understand the desire of my mother and actress Shin Ji-hye to film again.
Me too
Even the scenes that the director praised for being good, I didn’t like it when I saw it with my own eyes, so I wanted to do it again.

Mmm. Can you tell me too?
Still, isn’t it a bit like a new actor asking the director to shoot again?

“I, actor Jin Seon-hoo. Have your coffee.”
“Ah yes.”

Receive the paper cup held out in front of you.

“Uh? Are you good? What’s wrong, awkward.”

The person who hesitantly delivered the coffee was Kim Seon-ha, a 3rd year part-time job student in high school.
Just yesterday, I talked to my brother and sister.
It was like a stranger in a day.

“I didn’t even know you were an actor… Sorry about that.”

Sunha bowing her head.

“What are you sorry about? I was the manager at the time.”
“You weren’t originally an actor, were you?”
“I practiced acting consistently, but this is the first time I am filming in front of a camera.”
“I see… I was originally an actor, but I thought it was because I didn’t recognize him.”

Sunha smiles bashfully as if embarrassed.

“So this is your debut work?”
“Huh. It’s a complete first.”

Being an abused child in the news is okay, right?
Playing the spring accompaniment wasn’t something I did as an actor, Seon-Hoo Jin, so you can omit that too.

“Ah! Then I will be a fan of actor Jin Seon-hoo from today! Then I am fan number 1, right?”
“Huh. This will be the first time outside of my family. Maybe.”
“Oops. Then you should start a fan club. Can we call it an official fan club?”
“What’s not going to happen? Do whatever you feel like.”
“Then, as a commemoration, just one autograph…”
“Sign? I hadn’t even thought about the autograph.”
“You can just write your name.”
“Yeah~ I don’t even have paper and a pen.”
“I will bring it!”

Seon-ha hurried away and she quickly returned with paper and pen.

I’m a sign
To be honest, I wanted to refuse because I was embarrassed.
I couldn’t refuse until I brought paper and pen like this.
Hmm. What to write

Jinseonhu
To. Seonha Kim
To my number 1 fan Sunha
Thank you for your support!

I try to write it smoothly for once.
Seonha Kim. I mean, it’s a familiar name.
Is it because she resembles the female lead, Kim Sun-ah?

“Can I do this?”
“Yes! Thank you very much! I will be a fan for life! I will never move!”
“Haha. Thank you. I will work even harder because I think of goodness.”
“Yes!”

I had my first fan.
I feel embarrassed.
I didn’t become a fan after seeing my acting.
Still, I felt good.
I have to become an actor who is not ashamed of even to my fans.

“Hey student! Actors can’t interfere!”
“Oh, it’s okay. Because we know each other.”
“Yes! Go now! Before and after, oppa, I’m going to work. Cheer up. Fighting.”

Seon-ha slightly clenched her fist and ran away from her.

… Let’s fight

* * *

Shooting today was also difficult.
Actress Shin Ji-hye, her mother, and even actress Hwang Soo-ah.
The three main actresses harassed the director saying that they would reshoot at once.

However, filming again was not a priority, so it was pushed back, and I had to fill in the amount first, since I was in a hurry.
As for the amount to be re-filmed, if possible, it should also be included in the Chinese version.
If it seemed absolutely impossible, we decided to change it only for domestic broadcasts.

In the end, it was a race against time.
If the actresses were to film new individual parts, I thought I would be able to rest in the meantime.
But after that, the storm hit me too.
The time given was the same, but the amount to be filmed increased, so I had no time to rest.

I have to film it quickly so that the actresses can film it again in my spare time.
As a result, I had to suffer from the pressure to shoot faster and without mistakes.
No matter what anyone said, I had to pay attention.
Mental fatigue also doubled.

“I’m exhausted…”

Tiredness from filming yesterday, drinking party there, sex party there.
And today’s Spartan shooting.
It was natural to be tired.
I’m worried if I did the acting right.

After all, did I take acting too lightly?
The soles of my feet hurt from running around in shoes all day.

What if you are so busy every day?
I don’t even have the energy left to go home and hug her mother.

… Can I continue doing this?
I swore with my family this morning, but I was already feeling weak.
I also decided to fight with my number 1 fan, Seonha.

“Senhu, you worked hard.”

Today, I ride my mom’s car to work.
For the time being, my mom’s manager sister will also be my manager.
Anyway, I’m only filming here.
It was nice to be able to go with my mom.

“Are you tired? Close your eyes for a moment.”
“Huh…”

I lay down on the car seat and close my eyes…

“Seonhu. Everything is here.”

… When I closed my eyes and opened them, I was in an apartment parking lot.
Really? Isn’t that a hidden camera?
Oh my god. A time machine had already been developed.
I stumbled out of the car and went up the elevator.

“Even if it’s hard, just endure for a week. Then the filming will go on the right track.”
“Huh…”

I made the excuse of being sleepy and hugged my mother like she was leaning on me.
Fluffy fluffy.
The flesh smells good.

“Mom is very nice.”
“He is.”

While the elevator was going up, I held her mother all the time.
Even though it was difficult, I was happy.
Because I’m with my mom.
I felt like I could still try harder.
You can do it.

“Are Soyoung and Miso sleeping already? It looks like you are at home.”

The house was quiet.
It’s already bedtime for good children.

“Seonhu too, go to bed today. It’s filming tomorrow too.”
“Huh. Good night mom too.”

Kiss mom on the cheek and say goodbye
Let’s take a break today.
If it was now, I was confident that I would pass out without waking up once until tomorrow morning.

“…”

My confidence was shattered as soon as I opened the door.

“Oh. After Jinseon. Are you finally here?”
“Brother! Help me!”

What kind of situation is this?
On my bed, my hands and feet were restrained with handcuffs where I saw a lot of smiles.
Naked, with all the embarrassing parts.
My older sister was sitting cross-legged on her piano chair, watching her smile.

“What the hell is this… ?”

I was completely out of sleep.
