Quite some time had passed since the Japan trip.
I'd been busy with this and that, living life in a whirlwind, and before I knew it, the day had arrived.
That day being...
"Feeling nervous?"
"...Yeah."
Filming day.
The director and Moon Chang-sik had told me to relax, but easier said than done.
I'd practiced a ton in the meantime.
Mostly in front of Boksil, who didn't understand a word.
...The pup's smart enough, so with some good imagery, it worked for practice.
Plus Moon Chang-sik checked in now and then to help...
Truth is, I'm nervous but not worried.
The sweat I shed won't betray me.
...Probably.
"Then, wait here a sec."
With that, Moon Chang-sik abandoned me in the tent and headed off somewhere.
Probably to his own shoot.
The set sounded impressive when they said they were building one, but damn, this is legit.
Gangwon Province, and they bought a whole plot to build on.
Gonna use it long-term, I heard.
Hence all the shell buildings around with zero practicality.
Honestly, what's the diff from a broadcast station set? But scheduling and logistics waste, apparently.
Sitting there idly, someone lifted the tent flap and came in.
The Toad Director, even more disheveled than before, grinned wide—oddly cheerful—and handed me a paper cup of instant coffee.
"Ah, thank you."
"Chilly, right? Heat here's crap."
"Ahaha... I'm fine."
Gangwon, so cooler, but not winter-cold.
"Vibe here's alright? Like it?"
"Ah, the vibe? I dunno..."
Not bad, not great?
Morning, so everyone's kinda dead, maybe.
"Tough to adjust, huh?"
"Yeah? Ah, well..."
Today's my first and last—nothing to adjust to.
"Haha! First times are rough. Once other actors arrive, I'll introduce ya."
"Yeah? Ah, no thanks."
What good's knowing actors? Plus I'm a nepotism hire rn. No need to stir shit, I thought, but Toad Director shook his head like no way.
"Nuh-uh, this industry's all connections. More the better. Chang-sik's useless for that—guy's no fun."
"Ah..."
But couldn't say to the director's face this is my one-and-done, no plans for the biz.
As I hesitated, maybe misreading, he boomed a laugh.
"Worrying like you don't fit right in. Worked with Woo-hyun, right? Name-drop and buddy up. Connections are for using! Haha!"
"Yeah?"
Woo-hyun?
Racked my brain—ah, the composer.
"Ah, the composer?"
Toad knows him too? Wait, did Moon spill about our collab?
"You two close, yeah?"
"Ah, yeah..."
We are, sorta...
"Me and him go way back. Helped me tons with sound when I was green."
"Really?"
"Yeah, kept the ties strong."
Figures... Composer's network is nuts. Always holed up in studio, yet connected everywhere.
"Even let us use his track this time—grateful af, ya know."
"Yeah?"
"Heard it's you singing?? Blown away—though yeah, you killed that song!"
He composed it? Marketing, sure, but where's it used?
"Gave us just the MR for on-set—looking forward."
Clicked where.
"Wait... am I singing it?"
"Huh? Didn't know?"
"Uh... when, no. Never mind."
Got it.
My role sings early on.
That's the spot.
Part's burned in now—melody alone tells me.
Agh! Warn a girl!
Sure, I said freestyle the rest, but live on set outta nowhere?
Pressure's insane.
"Anyways, gotta bounce."
Toad Director left too, so solo tent wait.
Nothing to do outside... better not bug the crew. Script time till it felt right, then stepped out.
But.
"Huh."
"Hm?"
Bumped right into someone.
Bit shorter than me, brown wavy hair.
Delicate features screamed "not normie."
Actor vibes hit, and Moon's old words rang:
'Overdo greetings to big shots, yeah?'
His set advice: bow to superiors. Greeted hearty.
"Hello!"
"Uh?! Ah... hello..."
Huh, shy type?
Voice meek for an actor. Tilted head—girl looking flustered, frozen.
"Ah, hi..."
Awkward standoff after her return greet.
...Something to say?
Question marks over my head at her lingering.
Eyes darting, she pointed back at tent.
"Um... isn't this Chang-sik sunbae's waiting room...?"
"Yeah? Yeah it is."
No separate spot for extra me, so Moon loaned his.
Busy shooting, he said.
"B-but why're you..."
Sunbae means actor colleague?
"Chang-sik left earlier. Prolly over there? Shooting rush."
Told what I knew, but her mouth gaped.
"Ch-Chang-sik..."
Realized my wording was off.
Shit, misunderstanding?
Can't call him sunbae, oppa's weird too.
Left with teacher or Chang-sik—picked normalest.
"Ah, um..."
About to clear air.
"Kang Hana! What're you doing here! Time to shoot!"
Glasses woman—manager?—rushed up.
"N-no, it's..."
"Go now! Hurry!"
Misunderstanding uncleared, Kang Hana dragged to set.
Eh... same set, we'll cross paths.
Or tell Moon.
Kang Hana tho?
Knew zero actors, so maybe famous? Back in tent, phone search.
Kang Hana... oh, top result.
Profile pic pops— celeb?
Browsing profile close.
Hm... hm...
Which way'd she go?
Gotta clear this fast.
