Chapter 66 – Extra ShootingⅠ①
^-^
Grandpa’s birthday party passed quickly.
It was a really fun time, laughing and chatting with each other.
Among them, I was called here and there and was so busy moving around that I was completely exhausted.
I was in the car going home now.
It was scheduled to take about 2 hours to leave, just like it did to arrive.
Still, sleepiness was creeping in, perhaps thanks to the active walking around earlier.
I did not overcome the drowsiness that came over me and accepted it as is.
Ah, the misunderstanding that arose because I cried earlier was somehow resolved.
– Oh, kinda! Because that was just acting!
In the end, it was released only after I said it was an act…
Rather than having the relationship between Da-young and Seo-young fall apart, he chose to reveal that it was an act and get hit.
When I said that, I still couldn’t forget the expressions on the faces of the two people looking at me.
In the end, the misunderstanding was resolved, but anyway, I’m sleepy right now, so I’m going to sleep.
“······You know it’s a spirit, right?”
I think someone said something to me right before I fell asleep, but I couldn’t quite hear it.
* * *
“······Ah! Seohyun Lee!”
“Huh?”
“Get up quickly. We’re all here.”
Where are we? Who am I… No, not this.
When I opened her eyes, my mom was waking me up.
I guess I was sleeping and arrived home soon.
“Awww!”
I got out of the car and stretched.
The perfect state was to feel refreshed, as if my sleeping muscles were waking up.
I tried to go home so refreshed…
“W-Where am I?”
The place I got off wasn’t my house’s parking lot, but some strange place.
No, this is also a parking lot. Also, an underground parking lot.
“Good luck with the filming! I’m looking forward to seeing my son on TV!”
“Cho, filming? What is that, Mom? Uh, where are we going!!?”
“Son, do your best.”
“Dad? Dad!!!”
With Dad’s last words, the car the family was riding in began to drive away.
I was just staring blankly at the car moving away.
“Am I abandoning myself…?!”
When I was on the verge of mental shock while saying those words, someone spoke to me next to me.
“What do you mean?”
“···!, Who, who…?”
That someone was Seoyoung’s older sister.
She was so happy that she called Seoyoung, but she suddenly put her index finger to her mouth and covered her mouth.
“Shh, I should have told you to call her sister.”
“Use it. (I understand.)”
She was scared for a moment and nodded her head reflexively.
Only then did Seoyoung let go of her hand and started walking somewhere, motioning for me to follow her.
I followed her sister Seoyoung and said that I was glad.
“Phew. I guess I wasn’t the only one who was abandoned.”
“······What are you talking about earlier? I’m going to go filming now. Are you still half asleep?”
“······Yes?”
At the mention of filming, I jumped out of my seat.
Filming? What shooting?
When I looked like I didn’t know what was going on, Seoyoung continued speaking as if to ask me what I was talking about.
“Did you forget to film the extras?”
“······Ah!”
It was only then that I realized what that word photography meant.
1 day ago from now… No, 2 days ago… No, 3 days… Ah, anyway, a few days ago, I was having a meal with my sister and the CEO of a top entertainment company, and suddenly I was cast instead of cast.
That was the drama extra filming.
“Ahhhhh!! That’s why mom dropped me here?”
I clapped my hands and let out an exclamation as if I realized something.
“······Okay. Let’s get on quickly.”
My older sister dragged me in front of a car.
At that time, the front seat window opened, and a familiar face appeared.
“Manager!”
“Ah, hello! Seohyun!”
I said hello to my sister’s manager whom I hadn’t seen in a while.
The manager also accepted my greeting, and soon the car door began to open automatically.
“Oh…”
I hear this is amazing every time I see it.
I jumped into the car and sat down where I had sat last time.
This feeling of softness and wrapping around your body.
“Hehe. It’s been a while.”
“It’s been so long?”
“Hmph~ There is such a thing~”
My older sister, who came in after me, sat down in her seat as if she was bored, and soon after, the car started to drive.
I didn’t realize it when I came in, but once the car started, there was one thing that came to mind.
“Who…, Sister. But where are we going?”
“Huh? It’s a set.”
“On set?”
“Yes.”
“······No, I understand that.”
It is natural to film dramas on set.
That wasn’t what I wanted to ask.
“What are you filming there?”
Whether it’s a set or an actual location, isn’t there a drama genre?
That’s what I’m curious about, the genre I should go there and film.
Romance, thriller, sports, or even a court-related drama.
Among the many genres, what genre is it?
But even if I thought about it like this, it didn’t really matter.
In any case, he was neither a lead nor a supporting role, but just an extra who appeared next to the main character and only filled up the screen.
Since I don’t have a role, I don’t have any lines, so I’m literally just an extra.
“I don’t know. I heard it’s a historical drama?”
“······A historical drama?”
“Yes. A historical drama.”
I didn’t expect this…
I thought it was just a drama set in the modern era, but it’s a historical drama…?
As soon as I found out the genre of the drama, Seoyoung looked at my dumbfounded face and continued speaking.
“Why do you hate historical dramas?”
“······.”
“Even if you don’t like it, there’s nothing you can do about it? You already said you’d do it?”
“······I know that. Ugh.”
“But why is that?”
Why? Of course there is a good reason for this!
“If it’s a historical drama, you have to wear hanbok, right?”
“Of course.”
“That’s annoying! Why is it a historical drama? Can’t it just be set in modern times?”
I felt aggrieved and complained to my sister, but that doesn’t mean the drama, which was a historical drama, will suddenly change to the modern era.
I knew that would be the case, but I still complained.
“I guess it’ll be okay? These days, it’s all improved hanbok.”
“That’s right, but I thought it would be uncomfortable to be bulky, so I did that.”
Changing into the clothes provided at the start of filming was not difficult.
But if it’s a hanbok, it’s a different story.
“You don’t have to worry too much. It’ll be surprisingly comfortable, right?”
“······How do you know that?”
My sister told me that since the one I am wearing is a modified hanbok, it might actually be more comfortable.
Still, I couldn’t believe it. No matter how much improved hanbok it is, it is still hanbok. Uncomfortable to wear.
However, my thoughts changed as soon as I entered the filming set and put on the hanbok.
* * *
The place we arrived was a set that seemed to be modeled after a Korean castle.
It was so elaborately made that just by looking at it from the outside, you could even get the illusion that you had really gone back to the Joseon Dynasty.
Anyway, as soon as I arrived, I met someone.
“Oh my, is this him?”
“Yes, thank you, Director.”
“Ahaha! I ask you to be better.”
As I listened to what they were saying while looking at me, I thought that the person in front of me was the director.
Anyway, it’s a bit strange for the director to be so condescending to the manager.
Well, are you making it with investment from a top entertainment company?
“Nice to meet you.”
“Oh, yes.”
“Haha! You don’t have to be so nervous.”
“Yes…”
He must have thought that I was nervous as it was my first time on set, so he was actively talking to me.
It’s not that you’re particularly nervous, it’s just that you’re radiating such passionate energy.
“Oh, the filming is taking place later at night, so there is still plenty of time, so I think you can change your clothes in the dressing room.”
“Ah. Yes…”
“Then let’s go to the dressing room!”
“Haha! Take your time!”
Nice manager.
Just before the unemployed person in the corner of the room was kicked out by a manager with passionate energy, the manager stepped in and barely managed to get me out.
Naturally, the dressing room we arrived at was filled with only hanbok.
“Let me measure your size~”
I exchanged greetings with the people in the dressing room, and someone started measuring my size.
I opened his arms and turned his body as he told me to.
He disappeared somewhere in that size and soon came back with a piece of clothing, and of course… It was a hanbok.
“Hold out your right arm~”
“Yes.”
I was just saying Nene from a while ago, but I couldn’t help it because I didn’t have anything else to say.
This time too, I held out my arms as the person told me to do, and within a moment, my jacket was already on.
It’s the first time since I’ve grown up that someone has dressed me up.
Next to the top were the bottoms.
Uh, wait… It’s not pants, it’s a skirt.
No, since I am a woman now, it is natural for me to wear a skirt…
It was the first skirt I wore in my life.
I flinched because something felt awkward, but the person warned me to stay still.
“Stay still~”
“Yes.”
“Phew, that’s a cute friend.”
“Yes…?”
Before I knew it, I was taken aback by the comment that it was cute, and before I knew it, the bottoms had been put on just like the top.
“You look cuter in a hanbok.”
“Yes…? Cute…”
I was somewhat embarrassed and lowered my head.
I think it’s the first time I’ve heard someone call me cute. This was really embarrassing.
“Now, would you like to make a move?”
“Ah, yes…”
At those words, I moved around.
When I saw the skirt fluttering every time I moved, it felt quite awkward, and I felt embarrassed again.
He’s a man on the inside, but he’s wearing a skirt. Should I say something doesn’t match him?
At that time, the manager next to me gave me a thumbs up and praised me.
“Hmm. As expected, it’s good. Since the original version is good, it goes well with Hanbok.”
“Of course. He’s my younger brother.”
Seoyoung, who was next to the manager, also agreed, saying it was true.
‘No…’
Even if I hear something like that, it just makes me feel embarrassed and doesn’t make me feel particularly happy.
