Chapter 72 – Extra Shooting Ⅰ⑦
^-^
After waiting for a while, I inside the monitor started to move.
I could see myself looking at the crown prince while swinging my arms widely from the outside to the inside of my body.
That motion is probably the motion of throwing a knife, but it doesn’t actually fly, so it doesn’t show up on screen, but I was looking forward to that as it was said to be included in CG later.
After I throw the sword and Crown Prince Cho Jin-seong makes a motion to block the flying sword, the scene in question appears.
In the scene on the screen where Jo Jin-seong runs toward me and strikes down his sword, I could see his feet slipping slightly.
A dangerous scene was created in which Cho Jin-seong’s sword slipped and fell on me without stopping.
On the screen, I was just looking at that knife.
The sight of me just watching the falling blade looked dangerous, and I felt like I would be hit by the falling blade at any moment and get seriously injured.
As Jo Jin-seong’s sword was falling more and more towards me on the screen, I could see myself moving my hands somewhere on the screen.
And after that, as everyone knows, there was a scene where I blocked Jo Jin-seong’s sword with a dagger and spit out a line.
“Wow, you were holding a dagger like that?”
The director manipulated the monitor to make time pass slowly, and was amazed as he slowly watched me take out the dagger from my waist, and so on several times.
The scene passed so quickly that I could barely see him taking out the dagger.
‘How did I do that?’
The speed was unbelievable even when I, the person involved, watched it again on screen.
So much so that even if I had to do it again now, I would never be able to do it.
“Could you show it to me again? Right after actor Cho Jin-seong threw away the sword.”
“Oh, yes.”
“······Sister?”
My sister, who I didn’t even know when came, came next to me and was looking at the monitor with me.
Even before I took out the dagger, Jo Jin-seong was asking me to show him the scene of me striking down the thrown knife.
Then, the monitor screen restarted and showed Jo Jin-seong striking away the knife I threw, and then striking the knife over my head… It was the same scene over and over again.
I looked at my sister, wondering why she wanted to show me this again.
‘······Are you angry?’
When she turned her head to look at her, her face clearly conveyed her anger.
My sister’s face as she looked at the monitor gradually became expressionless, and then her face became cold, and she entered a scary atmosphere.
I was wondering why that was happening, but I was taken aback when I saw the manager next to my sister’s face becoming the same.
‘What is it…?’
I don’t know why I get angry while watching the shooting scene on the monitor.
[Chang-!
Meanwhile, on the monitor, I was still receiving Cho Jin-seong’s sword.
Looking at it now, it seems a bit dangerous… I’m sure you’re not going to get that angry about this, right?
[You said you wouldn’t kill him, but then you changed your mind?
‘You said you wouldn’t kill me, but then you changed your mind?’
Ugh.
It was my instinct that told me to say those words in that situation.
When I actually said it, I felt embarrassed and almost died of shame, but now, seeing it on screen like this, I think it’s cool.
At the time, I wondered if this was true, but looking back now, I think it was a good idea to say that.
Because such a cool scene came out!
If that scene were to be included in a drama, I would be willing to watch myself again and again.
I might come across something that looks cool when I look at myself, but I can’t stand being cool.
And anyway, I’m not completely used to this look now, and it’s not my original look, so I didn’t think it would really matter.
‘Isn’t it? ‘No.’
When I was thinking like that in my mind and looking at myself on the monitor with a feeling of inner pride.
Suddenly, I realized that my sister and manager’s eyes were looking somewhere else.
‘Where are you looking?’
Following the gaze of the two people, there was none other than the main actor, Cho Jin-seong, who was walking this way.
The two people were glaring at Jo Jin-seong with murderous eyes as if they were almost going to kill him.
Anyone who sees it will think that it was those two people who assassinated the crown prince, not me.
Jo Jin-seong tried to ignore the gazes of the two people and walked towards where we were and stopped right in front of me.
“···?”
I stared at Jo Jin-seong, wondering why he was stopping in front of me, but he suddenly bowed down in front of me.
“·······?!”
I was taken aback when I saw Cho Jin-seong suddenly bending down in front of me.
I thought he was coming this way, but then he suddenly bowed in front of me, and I wondered what he was doing.
“What? Is something happening?”
“I don’t know, is it because of that from earlier?”
“Well, what’s going on?”
A muttering sound could be heard from those around me as they looked in this direction.
I absolutely hate being the center of attention, so I quickly grabbed Cho Jin-seong and tried to straighten his waist, but his body didn’t budge, like a stone statue, let alone move.
Even though he tried his best to raise his body, there was no movement.
In the end, I sighed and gave up.
“Why are you doing this?”
“······.”
Instead, I felt like I needed to hear an explanation as to why he was doing this to me.
Why did you bow down to me?
And that too in front of many people.
“Over there?”
Is this guy doing this just to give me shit?
What are we going to do? Seriously!
I wanted to ask why they were doing this, so I asked a question, but what I got back was silence.
Just when I felt like I was going to lose my mind from frustration, Jo Jin-seong bowed down and opened his mouth.
“······Apology…”
“···Apple?”
What are you talking about?
I’m sure you’re not talking about the apple you’re eating…
Well, are you talking about the apology you give when you do something wrong or are sorry?
“···I’m sorry. I slipped.”
“Sliding… Oh, you’re doing this because you were filming earlier?”
“······.”
“No, please wake up. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if you did that all of a sudden?”
Only after saying that did Jo Jin-seong straighten his lower back.
His face was full of regret.
‘I’m doing this because I slashed the knife…?’
Didn’t you just say it was okay and move on?
I think Cho Jin-seong himself asked me if I was okay.
There’s no way I’m remembering wrong, and there’s no way he doesn’t remember what he did, so are you really coming all this way to apologize for that?
No, if you’re going to apologize, why don’t you call me out separately and do it? Why are you doing this in such an embarrassing way in front of so many people…!!
“I’m doing this just because of that one thing…”
“That’s not all.”
“······Huh?”
My older sister, who suddenly joined the conversation after hearing the words, “It’s my fault,” Looked at Jo Jin-seong and continued.
“My younger brother almost got seriously hurt.”
“···I’m sorry.”
“Oh, no… You? It’s not your fault…”
“Seohyun, you are missing.”
“Yes.”
I immediately shut his mouth as if he had become mute.
It is true that I almost got hurt because of Jo Jin-seong’s mistake, but if you look at it, it wasn’t Jo Jin-seong’s fault that my foot slipped.
It just happened by mistake because the ground was slippery, but it couldn’t be entirely Jo Jin-seong’s fault.
‘······What is this?’
The older sister was glaring at Jo Jin-seong with an angry expression, and Jo Jin-seong had a dark face with his gaze downcast.
At this point, I was able to understand why my sister was like this.
They probably didn’t want to see me get hurt while filming.
‘It’s just that I almost got hurt…’
No one knows what will happen if… If they see me getting hurt.
* * *
After that, Jo Jin-seong apologized several more times and returned.
My sister, manager, or others might have thought I looked dangerous because I looked like I was going to get hurt.
However, at least I think Jo Jin-seong made a mistake and a good scene came out.
Anyone can make mistakes.
A mistake that anyone can make can be an opportunity for someone else.
I think this situation is like that.
I once made the mistake of slipping my foot and hit the knife on my head, and I think I was able to get a good result because I realized that mistake.
‘Well, he speaks flashily…’
To tell you now, I actually thought this was an ad-lib, not a mistake.
I couldn’t understand my sister being so angry, and I couldn’t understand Jo Jin-seong coming to me and apologizing after picking a good scene.
Still, I know it very well now.
Jo Jin-seong’s acting, in which he almost hit me on the head, was not an ad-lib, but a mistake.
And if I hadn’t stopped it, by now…
No, I don’t know.
Even if I didn’t block and got hit, it wouldn’t have really hurt because my head is so rocky?
Moreover, the sword that Jo Jin-seong was wearing was not a real sword in the first place, but a filming prop made of plastic synthetic material.
So, it means that it is a knife that doesn’t really hurt even if you get hit.
It might hurt for a moment, but it wasn’t a fatal injury to the point of death.
