“Thank you for your work!”

Sora clapped as she announced the end of the shoot.

It was 9:40 p.m.

It was pretty late, but everyone attended the shoot without a single complaint.

“I really got a lot out of today.

This is going well even though its the first day.

Im sure that the film will turn out great.”

“Arent you being too optimistic” Ando asked as he put away the camera.

Sora shook her head and pointed at the laptop.

“Can you still say that after looking at this”

Tap - she clicked on the play button.

The paused video resumed.

The unni pushed Maru and glared at him fiercely.

She focused on Maru but was distracted by Unnis acting.

Both of them did better than she had expected, no, they were perfect.

She had played this footage back several times during the break.

Their expressions, postures, voices - everything was exactly like the ideal scene she had pictured in her mind, so she wanted to put this into the movie without editing it at all.

“If the acting of the people around was a little more decent….”

Compared to the two, the acting of the 1st year acting club members left a lot to be desired.

When the shoot just began, they dissolved into the film without looking awkward, but their emotions were broken the moment unni slapped Maru.

The first year actors had become audience members.

“But we cant use it because she is in it.”

Ando looked at the unni on the screen.

Sora was dissatisfied with that.

She found the most ideal actress, but she just had to be from another school.

“Cant we do anything about it”

“About what”

“I want to shoot with this unni.

Aram-seonbae said she was okay with it as well.”

“I thought she went to another school.”

“That doesnt really matter actually.

Its not like Im handing this film in under the schools name.”

“I guess thats true.”

“The problem is whether that unni wants to help out or not.”

“She appears on TV.

Wouldnt she be busy”

“Thats what I mean.

Oh, but I should at least ask, right”

Just then, unni came back to the classroom after changing her uniform.

Sora ran up to her without hesitation.

“Unni.

You really were the best today.”

“Thank you for saying that.

I was feeling sorry because I felt like I was bothering you.”

“Bothering Of course not! I got a good picture thanks to you today.

Want to have a look”

“May I”

“Of course.

You were in it.

Lets have a look at it together.”

Sora brought the unni to the laptop.

The 1st year members of the acting club had all returned to the 5th floor, so the classroom felt rather desolate.

She raised the speaker volume and played back the video in full screen.

The two people on the screen became vivid and started moving again.

Sora looked at unnis expression through the corner of her eyes.

As expected of a pro, she was focused on watching her own acting.

‘It feels like Im about to get my grade card.

She felt nervous for some reason.

Eventually, the loud slap could be heard from the speakers.

It was a scene that took away her breath no matter how many times she watched it.

The unnis eyes that were captured by the camera were, as much as she felt sorry about putting it this way, like those of a bad bitchs.

Meanwhile, Maru-seonbae was listening to unnis words like some organic lifeform without free will.

Sora decided to add the slapping scene after watching that scene.

From still, to dynamic, to dramatic - she liked that sequence.

If she could capture the other classmates looking at that scene in surprise, or perhaps even joy, it would be a dream-like classroom.

The kind where it was hell for just one person.

“How is it” Sora asked cautiously.

“Not bad.

I thought it would look strange.”

“Of course not.

You did so well.

Especially this part.

I really liked this part where you kept staring at Maru-seonbae.

It felt like you were really treating him like a toy.

Its a malicious scene, but the person doing it didnt seem to think that its a serious thing.

I had a Eureka moment the moment I saw it.”

“My acting was okay”

Unni didnt sound confident for some reason.

Sora firmly spoke,

“It was the best.”

Unni stopped talking and started tapping on the keyboard.

She pulled the slider forward to look at her own acting before putting on a faint smile.

For some reason, Sora felt relaxed when she looked at that smile.

“Thanks.

This is the first time I got complimented by a director when I acted in front of the camera.”

“No way.”

“Its true.

I have never heard anything on the shooting set.

Even if it wasnt a compliment, I wished I could hear something about my acting, but I didnt get to hear anything.”

“You didnt, unni The shooting set youre talking about is the sitcom one, right”

“Yeah.”

“Thats strange.

I watched that sitcom often too, but your acting was really good.

The cute girl thats hungry all the time.

You were good to the point that I thought you were actually such a person.

Though, youre actually really snappy in real life.”

Sora looked at the laptop.

An unni who could act so well didnt get praised for her acting Sora spoke after she slightly scrolled the slider.

“Isnt it like this A shooting set for a TV program must be the world of pros, right And its natural for pros to do well.

So what Im saying is that the fact that the director of the sitcom had no comment about you should mean that you are doing really well as a pro.

I might be wrong, but if I was the director, I would be like that.

I would leave the people who can take care of themselves alone and take care of those that need care.”

“Are you consoling me”

“No, Im not good with things like that.

Do you know what my nickname was in middle school”

“What was it”

“The cocky girl.

Everyone who hated me called me that.

But I dont care.

There are a lot of people in this world.

Im busy enough already taking care of the people that like me, so theres no need to suck up to the people that hate me, is there Also, I honestly liked the nickname.

When you call someone cocky, you do that because you envy that person, right”

“Its cool of you to think that way.”

“Youre cool too, unni.”

Sora grinned.

“Uhm, unni.”

“Yeah”

“Cant you keep shooting this film with me”

“This film”

“Yes.

I was touched after seeing this scene.

I have a really good feeling about it.

All I can think of now is that it has to be you.”

“Im thankful to you for telling me that but….”

“You must be busy, arent you I can understand that, youre on TV and all.”

“Its not that Im that busy….”

“Really Then can you do it”

“But Aram was supposed to play this role.”

“No, the only character we decided on for sure was Maru-seonbae.

As for the others, we decided that I will decide the roles after a test.

Seonbae[1], I\'m not going to do something like ruining my good work because of formalities.

I saw Aram-seonbaes acting in the acting club.

She is not that awkward with the role, but you go far beyond that.”

Sora stomped her feet in unease.

She had a feeling that this unni wanted to do it.

If she wanted to grab her, now was the right time.

She might change her mind later.

“Please wait a moment.”

Sora ran up to the 5th floor.

She knocked on the door to the hall before peeking inside.

The people from the acting club were resting.

It seemed that they were just about to wrap up practice and go home.

“Uhm, Daemyung-seonbae.”

She greeted Daemyung-seonbae before walking up to him.

“What is it”

“Are you practicing right now”

“No, we just finished.

Were going to take a small break and then do some stretches before going home.

Why do you ask”

“Can I borrow Aram-seonbae for a moment”

“Aram”

Daemyung called for Aram.

Aram hopped her way over.

“What is it, seonbae”

“Sora seems like she has something to say to you.

Go with her.”

Sora thanked Daemyung before grabbing Arams hand and running towards the stairs.

Aram started speaking when she stepped on the first staircase.

“What What is this about”

“Aram-seonbae.

How desperate are you in wanting to appear in my movie”

“Actually, not that much.

I just went because Maru-seonbae told me to.”

“As expected of you.

Youre so clear-cut when it comes to this.

I didnt expect you to say that you wanted to do it even for etiquette.”

“Thats how I roll.

Arent you similar”

“Yes! I am.”

Having returned to the 3rd year classroom, Sora put Aram in front of the waiting unni.

“Aram-seonbae.

Please watch this for now.”

She played the video she recorded.

Aram quietly looked at the screen.

After the short video was over, Sora spoke,

“Aram-seonbae.

If you do play the role, can you do this much”

The answer came immediately.

“I cant.”

Aram looked at unni.

“Unni, you were going to refuse this role Its fine if you refuse it because you have something else to do, but - this shouldnt be true but - if you are refusing because of me, Im going to feel hurt.”

Then, Aram watched the video again after asking if Maru was hit for real.

Sora looked at unni.

At that moment, Maru-seonbae came through the back door.

“Maru-seonbae!”

“What”

“Do you like Aram-seonbae more or unni more”

“Are you asking about my taste in girls”

“No! Im asking who you would prefer as a partner in the shoot”

Maru made ahm sound before looking at Aram.

“Aram.

Do you think you can hit me like what happened in that video”

“If it was real life, I would gladly do so, but acting I dont think I can do that.”

“Dont you want to try shooting this movie”

“Youre asking the same question she did.

Hello, seonbae You know I always had my way with the things I wanted to do since I was young.

Do you think Im the kind of girl who would try to read the mood and say pleasing words”

“No.”

“There you have it.

Thats cleared up now, right Im going back up.

I just got an earful from the club president for my pronunciation.

I have my hands full solving my homework right now.”

Aram waved her hand before leaving the classroom.

Soras jaws gaped slightly as she watched Aram leaving.

So cool - she wanted to chase Aram.

“But are you okay with time You have practice at your own club, dont you”

Maru asked that as he looked at unni.

“3rd year students dont go every day.

The stage is usually created around 1st and 2nd year students.

Only then would we keep the trophy even if we graduate.”

“Thats just like Myunghwa High.

Why dont you do it with us then I think it will be good if you do it.”

Nice, Maru-seonbae - Sora inwardly shouted.

Since there was support fire, she just had to get an answer from her.

“Unni, please help me.

Well really get the grand prize if you help us.”

“Are you really okay with someone like me”

“Its not about being okay.

It has to be you!”

Sora stared holes into unni.

Unni closed her mouth and looked around the classroom before speaking,

“Alright, Ill try.”

* * *

“The nights still cold, huh.”

“It still feels like winter.”

Maru reached out his hand.

She grabbed his hand with a smile.

“Its getting late.

Ill take you home.”

“Forget it.

Also, 10 isnt that late.”

“You dont know how scary the world is.

You should always be careful at night.”

“Its so bright here.

Youre being needlessly worried.”

Her lips twitched before she took out her phone.

She seemed to be texting someone.

A moment later, the sound of a message arriving could be heard from her phone.

“Shes still drinking”

“Whats that about”

“Its my mom.

She left around lunchtime to meet a friend, but I think shes still drinking.

Shes not coming back tonight.”

“Maybe she went to attend a funeral”

“No.

She said that she was going to get something good to eat.

I got a couple of texts after that, but I cant understand anything.

She is suddenly saying that writers are **, that her little sister is pitiful, and now shes asking me if I know the pains of a writer….”

“I guess she did send such texts whenever she got drunk.”

“Hm What was that”

Maru smiled faintly and shook his head.

From the content of those texts, it seemed that she was consoling a friend of hers who was complaining about life.

It shouldnt be anything major.

“Since its like this, should we go over to your house”

“Forget about it.”

“Youre disappointing.”

“Do you know that you sometimes have a really perverted expression when you speak”

“Do I now”

“There! Youre doing it again!”

Maru shrugged before walking.

When he pulled on her hand slightly, she sighed before following him.

“Its good to walk together like this.”

“Is it that good”

“It is.

Its even better now that we have a public reason to see each other.”

After walking wordlessly for a while, she spoke in a small voice,

“The film, do you think I can do it”

“Why are you suddenly running out of confidence”

“I wonder about that too.

I was never worried when it came to acting until now.

Maybe getting paid for it really does make a difference.”

“Opening someone elses wallet isnt easy, whether its through acting or anything else.”

Maru looked at her walking by his side.

She had stopped speaking and was looking up at the sky.

There was only a half-moon in the sky without any stars.

“I want to continue acting in the future.”

Maru tensed the hand grabbing her hand as he heard those words.

He would make her.

He would pave the road for her so that she could do everything she wanted in life.

“Then I guess Ill do the housework.

You can earn the money, with your acting.”

“Hey, youre the man.”

“Hey, men and women are equal in this era, arent they”

Maru placed his lips on hers when she kept staring at him.

Their lips touched before moving apart again.

She looked at him with widened eyes before making an expression as though she had remembered something.

“Ah, right.

Dinner.

You were supposed to treat me.”

She looked at him with dissatisfaction.

[1] For some reason, Sora calls Marus GFseonbae here, instead of the usualunni.
