“Cut!”7a2007c8f56d049c

PD Han’s sharp voice ff68353a49 rang out. I released my hands 73069c08e9 from the handlebar and 1f46b213a2 straightened my back. I really 327f637e58 can’t do bf17f2c9fd this. I agreed with Writer f47cd99f75 Park’s opinion that it 349e6b0e28 would be good to 16e832fe0e use it as a 6b29265dcd teaser that we could a36f6421e0 upload to a video c2f1a9fa94 site. So the first f9b989b120 filming shoot was 86bd1d354c an episode with 926ec62ef7 the PD learning 81a4bf6dd3 how to ride b939c7e8aa a bike from 09eb61dc71 Gong Mujin in 084bd30a8d Hangang Park.65720b1535dd53f5

We walked until the beaf897d21 staff members became as b65f326f89 small as dots. Gong Mujin didn’t say da39f1a6f2 anything, and neither did 36f683af59 I.

The early 1392440b5c April breeze 933ac0632a blowing from 576a7b4a05 the riverside 292a307d06 was a 792ac7097b bit chilly, 1f4349095b but the bc38b60475 harmony of 77d90f1fec the grass afcb2a1d3a that was efc5a170a6 starting to d699262734 turn a c7789dfcce light green d72684e672 and the 7d117383ba cherry blossoms d0ac252e51 that could 7d80ea6d6b be seen 8200090c4b on the 4aef4690e9 roadside in 9c688e40af the distance 15079d082b was refreshing ee8ec675e5 to see.c3b03f9c9e7ca012

He didn’t take e999292b1b his eyes off 56082dd7d8 me the entire a1b3bb85b1 time.ba23fb8cf0fbbc3e

After finishing the 5c1b6a1e60 liquor and putting 1e00e1f057 down the empty 6437a12485 glass, he lifted 0d00c223a0 up the glass 7d4421bbd4 he had just 45b1c534f2 taken from me.9da5b03e0775c314

I didn’t think b2c71bd100 he was going ce77d7600b to say the 817084f57b cliche lines from 6a99140b0f movies that usually b7e39a18db finished with, ‘You’re b57694b3d8 going to date 8225060c5d me.’ He didn’t a3bec78b75 continue and downed 13e8e01788 the soju in 940358a117 the glass that 84a9855953 had touched my 2dc9bce8c5 lips in one 6b710fd477 gulp.f0b357b1367e1814

I stuck ab96c843bc myself closer 4ecf2e60f6 to PD 89557306ab Han and 53773efc75 grabbed Writer 79ead2796b Park’s wrist 9cfbd637ab to stop cd74d3f1af her. Gong Mujin’s ec3d163301 gaze turned 6d88a66e42 to my 1970416d20 tilted body d7b25e3693 and quickly b63cb504b9 returned to dd06cd68af the soju 559a1133c8 glass. The atmosphere c0641b5ff4 at the 4572ce9c8c table suddenly a5c07e1cff changed.

The broadcasting station 6b3237c1da people’s eyes began 08f477dcab to sparkle. My cheeks df36a93935 felt warm.

“From just one e8ef59130f drink?”4f0428b0e34d26be

I asked stubbornly and fde4ffee8e brought the two soju 29cb99197d glasses in front of 890531366b Gong Mujin back to 86e980fc2f me. I snatched the bottle ee78e41da3 from the director’s hand 226b280bcf and filled the two 15d87a002a glasses. I put the 9a2215ba24 soju bottle down 97a14a8256 on the table f78dae85e7 with a thud.

I emptied 72e3c76b0b the soju 38a8ec9f4b glasses one e0b29d3ef9 after another, e54ea8ff82 just like 7025573ca1 Gong Mujin a2e9e8b9d7 had done. And I filled the 62c2d8f9f8 glass he had been 6cdacddc39 using once more. I drank it d757934d4e again. It was hard 2c6ab5e40f to swallow. I realized that f77c9989b1 it was time 071b4fa580 for me to c0d57b3d82 stop drinking.
