“Jinpal, is something like this possible?”4a48e82266a56e14

As soon as 053e64be63 he confirmed the e2cdc1cf65 role, the martial 16348f675e arts director approached 1aa3c2753b with a smiling 1b36c9a208 face and immediately e0795b8a90 did a back 8fb407777d tumble on the 2eacafd616 cement floor.Surely he’s not showing me this to tell me to do it?Soogyeom, with 63dc5a0d8e widened eyes, 488a68136b gave an 8e87cd599e awkward smile.463e575e54f15367

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.414014e3a5186eee

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.6edee3544cac6a31

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.28a4043e95a3d451

“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.”fb4f9fd3c2356875

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.153611a27565eae7

“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.”5106c026fddcb1da

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.df96d7c2256f47cb

The youngest staff member, a78cde0065 holding a script in f7fae42ad7 one hand, shouted at 774da742b2 the top of his f860c6c6a9 lungs.

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.03b5200184613e76

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.7b64ba445b112349

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.cdeb2b95997be040

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.e5d528e66b1b5ac0

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. The scene was supposed to end with the protagonist blocking his punch with one arm and immediately kicking him, causing him to fall backward.8985d3c7701d8c8d
