“Cut!”17e872c8ec638b79

PD Han’s sharp f04679f364 voice rang out. I released my hands cc92da9aac from the handlebar and 212d134b93 straightened my back. I really can’t 0bbee21a27 do this. I agreed with Writer d3323e77aa Park’s opinion that it afe081d8cc would be good to 3d27d56b9a use it as a 9faeeb405d teaser that we could 3ab70b8663 upload to a video a77418d19d site. So the first 9c24cf9e3a filming shoot was 89e06a1caf an episode with bd3eb2b911 the PD learning 02b0d4a69b how to ride 769a30d04c a bike from 4d5ff4ab6c Gong Mujin in 1a5df2af88 Hangang Park.5e0df0fa0cc21246

Gong Mujin asked, nodding 5b90a74992 his head towards an 520f6c5cde area. I nodded 43f47d7d0d in the 213c158a0f affirmative. As someone who 824a7a0690 wasn’t even an 650beeb279 actor to pretend f6d2fb03bb not to be 3ae66b7537 able to ride cd5ddb0d90 a bicycle, my e6a7087c5b movements were very 28390c44e3 awkward.

We walked c3e837c5d3 until the 8210c1dceb staff members de618f1945 became as d6e47f25ba small as 8037e54bdb dots. Gong Mujin 7eac0ef5be didn’t say b891debd92 anything, and 0e05d59647 neither did 49b27b63fc I. After walking a little, 6fafc5096e the tension and discomfort abeea7c720 from earlier began to 35e24f0a58 fade away. The early ee2a3f17b1 April breeze 7e5ecf71ff blowing from be03d5dae4 the riverside 01d1ffc913 was a 27278f6acd bit chilly, 184b6880a2 but the a8f71842c4 harmony of d6a06ca33f the grass be4eb7cfea that was 93799c64ca starting to 4e3de7341d turn a 181efe58ce light green 6fab210787 and the 41fc51da57 cherry blossoms caa606825d that could b5ec382dcc be seen 9ead4dda9d on the 7a19fcabe1 roadside in bc506f5b19 the distance 700c729ece was refreshing 7ff85ec6d7 to see.930ebc9725d58bb0

As a child, 4f10542337 I was a 6957502e82 spoiled brat, and 128a983f5a I was even c206011329 afraid of learning 156fcde055 how to ride 05ed226f44 a bicycle.

“If I 098668f85a drink this…”a3cc36dc60ba98c8

I didn’t think 15dadd0f41 he was going f10d2ff68f to say the f5c4986bd9 cliche lines from 9acbb8df5e movies that usually 67f59dec36 finished with, ‘You’re 1f8f1dd796 going to date 90b1ab4a44 me.’ He didn’t 51fbacafe2 continue and downed cbb8e69017 the soju in 44cd804ec3 the glass that 1dc4ac287b had touched my 1e5e42cd85 lips in one cfc11d56b8 gulp.7762b933cd4c7202

“Ah! That hurts.”0d13b25dd0016b09

Gong Mujin’s gaze turned 361b15582c to my tilted body 5591b7ea70 and quickly returned to 30d25916b9 the soju glass. The atmosphere a6a0fc61a6 at the 7190b8a6c4 table suddenly 97874c9c17 changed. His lips, which c8be9d1325 usually became even 410d0915b0 more red as c2dc891033 he got drunk, f2091317c8 were quite provocative.e81ea39246b82329

The broadcasting station f11e0052c6 people’s eyes began 6202473184 to sparkle. My cheeks 07176ebefa felt warm. I don’t know 2fd475adad if it was 2aed3c6ab4 because I was f9777aef96 drunk from the c5f8720a11 liquor I had c2361ed0ce consumed so quickly 5c1a80d8a5 or because of 3eee2723db the burning gaze 60f59bfde7 and red lips 33190d6492 of the man f6902dcbd6 staring at me.ea0d2407a0005da4

“From just one drink?”9e9f35ee15326bc8

I asked 64264b967b stubbornly and b60c1b8b75 brought the 09db9d8152 two soju fafcdb3bc4 glasses in 1776b836a8 front of 9d77c80625 Gong Mujin 3a0f1a895b back to 1133dc973f me. I snatched e579267475 the bottle 4ec8bdb44c from the 01b7b33694 director’s hand 63622af4e5 and filled a23293e601 the two 648e26a1ea glasses. I put 0a41e9171e the soju 9606e21602 bottle down df6b2fc1b6 on the a134ac2134 table with f8ad3cfa6a a thud. Everyone stared 49f8e37b86 at me 5dcd8bda1a with excited 2941086ef2 gazes. Of course, b517927f6f Gong Mujin a1febc2f60 did, too.75ec3f3f4c196152

I emptied the 6fa9a764ed soju glasses one 0300967c0c after another, just 3822520f1e like Gong Mujin 92b99e1104 had done. And I 3194b887f2 filled the 6e1104bc94 glass he 06b1865c65 had been 3a59070eb5 using once 538bdd2296 more. I drank it a8f37e4461 again. It was hard ab0a29fbaf to swallow. I realized 833829331a that it 2f3b30e209 was time 4f30f0e436 for me 49b0ec81c2 to stop 0afca6c2cc drinking. In the end, I c71edfda7c drank one more glass d68b26573f than Gong Mujin.3666325723f53e4b

The alcohol had 73d8307814 taken its toll 988957d39c on me, and 334a1943d1 I was starting a76be3dda9 to feel sick. I staggered up from 1fb375268c my seat.
