“Jinpal, is something like this possible?”5c50f453edb4c783

As soon as b3953f2579 he confirmed the ba692742c5 role, the martial eaaab32e04 arts director approached d717900c5b with a smiling d973f0c5e0 face and immediately 0f9a45d05b did a back 6f76ea72b2 tumble on the 5b0fb33d9c cement floor.Surely he’s not showing me this to tell me to do it?Soogyeom, with widened eyes, 3460a7de94 gave an awkward smile.5f96e951195cb3b6

Soogyeom’s heart quickly became anxious at the indifferent tone. The scene was where ‘Jinpal,’ the character Soogyeom was playing, was intimidating the male lead on the orders of the ‘Oyabun’, that is, the female lead’s father. The action scene was quite long because it had to show the male lead’s martial arts skills, but the problem was that there was no time to coordinate this time either due to the lead actor’s schedule. In other words, the role of making the male lead look good even if he swung roughly required overacting.687090926f80539d

“Um… If it’s a scene where I get hit in the chin with a kick, would it be okay to receive it like this?”857e355a00f88f33

Soogyeom asked cautiously, and the action director nodded his chin as if to tell him to try. Soogyeom took a deep breath and lightly loosened his hands and feet. “I’m ready,” he said calmly, and the action director pretended to raise his knee. As soon as Soogyeom saw his knee in his field of vision, he quickly turned his head and fell backward. At the same time, he placed both hands above his shoulders and kicked his feet upward. He landed on his toes with a back roll, immediately stood up, and took a boxing stance. The staff who were watching lightly applauded, saying, “Oh.” The action director also seemed satisfied.ffd044babed53095

Only then did Soogyeom say, “Ah,” and sigh inwardly. It seemed that the role had been promised to an aspiring actor from the school run by the action director. He felt a little uneasy when he realized that the reason he had tried to intimidate him by showing off a back tumble that didn’t fit the atmosphere was because Jae Kyung had intervened.c230632ede1556ef

“Oh, and be careful when we start filming. Hanjoon is okay at acting, but he’s terrible with his body. And he’s strong, so the people who coordinate with him often get hurt.”9e85f2beee8d1684

Soogyeom knew that from experience. His movements were robotic, but his punches were so heavy that the wound he got when he was hit in the face was still there. The action director didn’t seem to remember that Soogyeom was the extra who appeared in the cafe scene. It was fortunate.6d5144616979c04a

“Sometimes there are kids who get fired up with artistic spirit and act like moths to a flame, but that’s foolish. The smartest thing is to finish without getting hurt. An extra throwing their body around and doing stupid things won’t get them any recognition, and if there’s an accident, they’ll just get targeted. There’s no point. Huh? You just hurt your body.”f22d64dd248a4959

He’s a good person. Soogyeom easily made an assessment of the other person and nodded with a smile. The action director continued his lecture for a long time before finally planning the next scene.78b32dfdc8d98de0

Even though all he had to do was fly and fall in a flamboyant way to make the male lead stand out as much as possible, if that was the given role, he had no choice but to do his best.

The male lead, who appeared on the set, already looked uncomfortable. His face was full of fatigue, and the way he glared at everyone he made eye contact with was ominous. The resentment that he didn’t know why he had to go through such hardships was clinging to every muscle in his face.21c7378717e22f5a

Even someone like that must have their own hardships. If you had to take pictures all night, take a plane, and then start punching and flying around as soon as you got off, even Buddha would be angry… It’s just that there are plenty of people in this world who want to go through that kind of hardship.fa626f46c1055cf1

But no matter how big a star he was, a young actor in his twenties couldn’t defy the general director, and if the director gave the signal, filming had to begin. Eventually, 5 minutes later, Soogyeom was trapped in a narrow alleyway with the male lead, facing off.fa32a62dc4acc70a

It’s really a question. Wouldn’t this just be adding fuel to the already burning fire of love? Why would a mob boss with so much money use such an outdated method? But he decided not to question it. To ‘Jinpal,’ the boss was a father, a god, and a teacher.ee9b771fa4407c4d

In the meantime, seeing him recite those lines without batting an eye, he couldn’t help but pay his respects to the male lead. Soogyeom approached to his right as instructed and threw a punch.
