Chapter 15:

"The Last Diner's" final shooting was particularly dramatic.

Characters who had been merely covering up issues and traveling together began to express their dissatisfaction and start doubting each other.

The incident of Sohee's poisoning was the start. The story, flowing unpredictably with the eruption of distrust among them, revealed an unexpected twist at the end.

With the right direction, it seemed like a production that could capture both entertainment and artistic value.

Of course, there was still post-production dubbing left, and no one knew how many more months it would take before everything was completed.

I can't wait to see the final version.'

Yooil clenched his fist, filled with anticipation.

When he first auditioned, he couldn't imagine that the end of the film shooting would ever come.

"Action!"

The shooting of the last scene began. Yooil, who had already finished his part, was watching the set with the staff.

He felt anew how filmmaking was a genre that required many people.

It feels strange.'

Currently, Mr. Han Yooil, your heart rate is normal, and your oxygen saturation is also normal. Make sure to maintain your body temperature.

'

He clenched the hand warmer he had in his pocket and focused straight ahead.

Before Han Yooil's eyes were people hurling almost scream-like insults at each other.

Lee Jongsun, Park Joonki, Min Sohee, and

I didn't know this person would be in it.'

Han Yooil watched the face of one actor with a serious expression.

Joo Heeyoung.

She was a famous supporting actress known to anyone as Ah, that person from that film.' Wasn't it already three blockbuster movies she had appeared in?

He had been curious why there was an extra character in the script when there were only four leads.

It seemed like the other actors, until a few days ago, hadn't known about Joo Heeyoung's participation.

Did the director intentionally keep it a secret?'

The likelihood of that is low. According to research, they continued to look for actors even after the shooting started.

He wasn't even curious anymore about how this insane AI knew such things.

Anyway, everyone's energy is really good.'

The actors on average have over 20 years of experience. Experience cannot be underestimated.

Whether the AI could feel experience or not, Yooil agreed with the sentiment.

Han Yooil quietly observed the middle-aged actors before him.

Could I become like them?'

Except for Joo Heeyoung, the four lead actors loved acting and maintained their livelihoods while passionately pursuing their craft.

Han Yooil wasn't sure if he had the confidence to tread such a tough path solely for the sake of acting.

Do not worry, Mr. Yooil. I will take responsibility.

What exactly?'

As Yooil felt uneasy and fiddled with his collar, Director Yoo Jaeho shouted loudly.

"Cut!"

As his cut sign fell, everyone began to applaud. It was a show of support for the actors who had given their all in their performance. Han Yooil too clapped until his palms felt numb.

"Great job, everyone!"

"Thank you~"

"Everyone, let's have dinner!"

Greetings filled the set. Everyone was heading towards the indoor set for dinner. Yooil was also about to move when someone tapped his shoulder.

"Excuse me, actor."

"Yes?"

A youngest staff member, her face reddened by the cold, approached hesitantly.

"It's just if it's okay, could we take a picture together?"

"With me?"

To Han Yooil's question, the staff member nodded. She suppressed the awkwardness welling up to her throat and looked at the camera of her phone.

"One, two, three!"

The staff member pressed the shutter with a bright face, as if her shyness had never existed.

"Thank you. I'll continue to support you."

"Thank you. Your name is Hansol, right? I'll support you too."

"Don't worry too much. I always wanted to come here with you, no matter when."

"But still"

As Jin Hayoung hesitated, she closed her mouth. Seeing Han Yooil's radiant face, she decided to set aside her discomfort for the moment. She knew the heart of her nephew who wanted to treat her to something delicious.

I should enjoy this as much as I can.'

Jin Hayoung cleared her throat with a serious expression. She liked eating, but she was a light eater.

However, the moment the appetizer that marked the beginning of the course meal was served, she realized all her worries were in vain.

The lobster tasted different from any she had before. The tender, sweet flesh combined with the fresh salad brought a fragrant aroma of lemon and herbs.

Starting with the appetizer, followed by the rich cream soup, grilled sea bream with carrot puree, tender steak, and a peculiar dessert whose name she couldn't remember

Expensive is indeed good.'

Time flew as she savored the flavors.

"I'm living in luxury because of you."

Jin Hayoung kept marveling as she enjoyed her meal.

"Aunt."

"Hmm?"

"I have something for you."

"What is it?"

As Jin Hayoung leaned back contentedly, Han Yooil handed her an envelope.

"Oh, a letter?"

She opened the envelope with a bright smile, but her mouth fell open, powerless.

It was too much money.

"Yooil."

It was money she couldn't accept, especially from her nephew.

Jin Hayoung attempted to persuade Han Yooil with a serious expression, but bending her nephew's stubbornness was no easy task. Their dispute finally ended in the car on the way back home.

In the end, Jin Hayoung agreed to use the money as part of her living expenses.

* * *

"Yooil. You don't have to buy such meals for me in the future. And definitely no need for money. I have more money than you, you know?"

"I know."

Does he really though?'

Jin Hayoung sighed internally, watching her nephew, who was focused on driving.

I keep thinking Maybe I've raised the kid to be too grown-up for his age.'

Would her sister scold her later? Jin Hayoung swallowed the sigh that threatened to escape.

"Are you going to your part-time job tomorrow?"

"Yes. I'll go to the part-time job then head to prepare for the play."

"Can you manage both?"

Han Yooil shrugged.

"It seems to work when I do it."

Her nephew was relentless.

Jin Hayoung shook her head and cast her gaze out the window. The lights from the passing cars shimmered over the river.

"Yooil."

"Yes."

"Do you know what your mom and I used to do when we couldn't sleep?"

Yooil's face stiffened slightly at that question. Unaware, Jin Hayoung continued.

"We would list things we wanted to have."

"Like cars, puppies, things like that?"

"Yes."

Jin Hayoung nodded.

"Your mom that is, your mother, always talked about things that were unique in the world. The Eiffel Tower, the Mona Lisa, things like that. Isn't it funny?"

""

"When she named you Yooil, I teased her so much. Saying she only picks names that suit her like the only one'"

Jin Hayoung's vision began to blur with the lights along the road.

""

Han Yooil quickly wiped the corners of his eyes.

The car they were in continued to travel the road for a long time. It was a beautiful yet solemn night.
