Chapter 40:
The college student's vacation seemed long yet short.
[@jinnnny Seon Gihyeon can only be played by Han Yooil, the casting is truly a stroke of genius]
Even though it had been a while since the last episode of Sing in High School' aired, Lee Hyejin was still immersed in the drama, like everyone else who was a fan of the show.
Her peaceful time watching the making-of films was interrupted by an alarm from her phone.
Classmate Lee Hana: Hyejin! What are you planning to take this semester? Professor Han's class is open, do you want to take it together?
Ah.
The smile that had formed on Lee Hyejin's face vanished in an instant.
Im too busy being a fan.'
The thought of real life interrupting her fan activities already started making her feel melancholic.
Ah the vacation is too short.
At the same time, someone else was having the exact same thought as Lee Hyejin.
Just to remind you, Mr. Yooil. Tomorrow is the course registration period.
Just like that, the good mood quickly dissipated.
Whats up, Yooil? Is the pasta not good?
Did you bite into a peppercorn?
Han Yooil listened to his friends' concerns and guesses at the same table.
Its nothing.
Yooil was currently at a dining place with his university friends.
As usual, Kim Jinwoo, Kang Hana, and Hwang Riu joined him.
With Kim Jinwoos military enlistment approaching, they decided to meet to commemorate it.
Being with his university friends after practically living on set gave him a sense of being a college student again.
Hey, Yooil. How is Hwang Yiwon in person?
Hes handsome, of course.
Tell me in detail. How long are his eyelashes, how big are his hands, what kind of water does he drink!
Kang Hana's passionate question made Kim Jinwoo look at her with puzzled eyes.
I get the eyelashes and hands, but why do you want to know what water he drinks?
Thats what you want to know when you're a fan.
Kang Hana had been a long-time fan of Hwang Yiwon. She had been a fan since her middle school days.
The atmosphere he must be really handsome and cool.
Don't forget, you've got a handsome actor sitting right in front of you, guys.
Kim Jinwoo said teasingly, causing Kang Hana to giggle.
That, of course, I haven't forgotten. Its still amazing~!
At the same time, she firmly stated that a friend and a fan object were different.
Anyway, if its Director Gu Chanik, the quality of the work is guaranteed.
It sounds like itll be interesting.
Kang Hana and Hwang Rius words made Han Yooil nod.
Yeah. You can look forward to it.
Honestly, even if he had played a supporting role instead of the lead, he would have gladly taken it, as the script was that interesting.
Yooil also analyzed characters other than his own Sooil'.
Simply because it was enjoyable.
I guess spoilers are out of the question?
Cant you at least give us a hint of what it feels like?
As an actor involved in the production prior to release
I know.
Han Yooil preemptively stopped Brion's lecture and shook his head.
Of course, it was absolutely not allowed.
Watch it in the theater later.
Yooil silently continued eating his pasta amidst his friends teasing.
* * *
Days passed.
After the semester began, an unusual phenomenon started occurring at Wonmyeong University.
Students were aimlessly loitering around the humanities department.
It all started with a post on the university's anonymous community board saying Han Yooil was spotted at the school.
Just saw Han Yooil
[He's so damn handsome and fit af, damn, handsome people should stop working out]
OMG, where did you see him?
Just in front of the Woldong Hall earlier
Did you get an autograph?
but I did take a photo. He nodded when I asked if it was okay.
OMG you better post that photo or I swear, it's a crime against humanity.
Here you go
[My face is covered lol
(Photo)]
OMG
Life is so unfair
Han Yooil's face is brighter than my future
Mr. Yooil, please bump into me just oncenove(l)bi(n.)com
Take Korean language class, he's auditing!
That's a bit much
But seriously, how does Han Yooil
The camera shows Choi Bins perspective.
A vast expanse of pink muhly. The back of a man looking at the beautiful pink waves is shown.
It was a strange, yet profoundly beautiful and solitary scene.
The man slowly turns around.
The assistant director, monitoring on a 17-inch screen, also unwittingly bit his lip.
I thought Son Jisoo was good, but
Han Yooil was different from the start.
He seemed plain and kind when seen in profile pictures or met in person, but the Han Yooil now had an edgy sharpness about him, as if getting too close might cut.
Yooil, or rather Sooil, observed Choi Bin. Then he spoke.
Why did you come?
Is that all you can say to a friend?
Choi Bin retorted, somewhat heatedly. But he immediately regretted it.
After all, he hadn't come to fight with Sooil.
Didnt you give up on college?
Yeah.
You know that college is for geniuses. Other people are dying to get in there. Youre kicking it away when others are spending money and pulling strings to get in?
Genius, huh.
Park Sooil shifted his gaze to the clear blue sky. Choi Bin felt like his frustration was about to explode.
Think it over properly. Didnt you also want to go there, studying hard through middle and high school?
Youre crossing the line, arent you?
Yeah. I need to cross the line.
The words left a barely visible crack on Sooils face.
Same scene, new cut.
A full shot showing both characters against the background appeared on the monitor.
Director Gu Chanik, along with the script supervisor and the assistant director, watched the screen in silence.
Choi Bin strides forward. The moment he crosses an unseen line, Sooil speaks.
No.
"What?"
I can't do it.
What do you mean by that?
I'm no genius or anything. All I am is a fool who just knows how to follow formulas and orders.
You
Getting treated like a genius wears me out.
The camera closely captures Sooil's face, trembling with anxiety.
Leave.
Through Sooil's shoulder, the blurry figure of Bin looking at his back is shown on the screen.
You'll be fine. Youre doing well now and will in the future too.
Park Sooil!
Choi Bin calls out Sooils name, a mixture of frustration and anger in his voice. But Park Sooil doesnt look back, as if turned to stone, as if he had no place to return to.
Cut.
Director Gu Chanik quietly calls cut and reviews the monitor with a critical eye. A few moments later, he removes his headphones. His face shows satisfaction.
Okay.
Wow. Amazing.
The assistant director suppressed the excitement and thought.
I was sure there would be a delay!'
Thats why extra time was allocated in the shooting schedule. Up to now, finishing this quickly during a shoot with Director Gu Chanik was rare.
The staff, who had been tense, visibly relaxed as the scheduled shooting wrapped up unexpectedly early.
We were planning to shoot scene 34 after dinner, but can we start a bit earlier, actors?
Thats fine with me.
Lets start with actor Son Jisoo then! We need to align the close-up and handheld shots first.
Unlike Yooil who answered right away, Son Jisoo bit his lip nervously.
Ah. I'm sorry.
Hm? Why.
At Director Gu Chaniks question, Son Jisoo shrank even more and answered in a small voice.
Actually, I havent fully memorized the script for scene 34 Not that I havent learned it at all! Just give me 10 minutes, please.
After an uncomfortable silence.
Director Gu Chanik cleared his throat.
Director of Photography Jeong Myungjin spoke nonchalantly.
Setting up the camera will take a while anyway, so the actors can take a break.
Ahem.
Director Gu Chanik stroked his beard, clearly not pleased.
I was planning to check the screen from various angles before shooting this scene. It would be better to have the actor present for the test shots.
Son Jisoo felt a pang of regret.
Damn it This isnt what I wanted.
He had put aside his pride to join the cast of a Gu Chanik film' as a supporting actor. The last thing he wanted was to make a bad impression on the director.
What should I do? Should I just suggest doing it while reading the script?
As Son Jisoo was rapidly brainstorming, someone spoke up.
Director.
The silence was broken by none other than Han Yooil.
If its okay with you, I think I can do it.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
