BXBX NOVEL Chapter 121 - Back To Hotel
Hea-Jung\'s acting was really good. Joon-won only had a glimpse of it earlier in her rest room but now on the set as the cameras were rolling, she was even better. As she acted, it looked like she even fixed some of the issues he told her earlier, making it clearer. She had some real talent and wasn\'t a simple idiot like she seems to be.
After the scene finished, the director seemed to call her to have a talk, and even though he couldn\'t exactly hear what they were talking about, it didn\'t seem to be something bad as Hea-Jung had a victorious smile on her face.
The director just nodded at the end and then said to everyone, "Alright, this scene is done and so let\'s go on to the next one on schedule. Come on, let\'s get done with this quickly." And Hea-Jung walked towards him. Joon-won could feel a few stares already as she reached him.
"Little brother, it looks like your advice was really helpful after all. The director praised me as he found my acting got better. And don\'t worry little brother, I didn\'t tell him that it was you who pointed out those problems. I just said I wanted to experiment a little. If I did tell him it was you, that guy\'s ego would take a hit as it\'s the director\'s job to correct and give some advice to the new actors on any set. I can imagine how ashen his face would look like." Giggling to herself.
Joon-won raised an eyebrow at how unexpectedly thoughtful she was finally. Even though their reasons to tell the director were completely different, it didn\'t matter. He didn\'t care about the director\'s feelings. Joon-won just didn\'t want to get unwanted attention because of a small piece of advice he gave to her.
"Alright anyway, it looks like you still have a few scenes to shoot. I\'ll go back to my hotel and rest a bit. Can you find out when is the approximate time for our scene tonight? I\'ll be ready and come here by then." He wanted some sleep. The time was still 3 and so he had time to catch a quick nap, practice some more, and also get ready for the shoot.
Hea-Jung nodded and asked him to wait for a second as she walked up to one of the assistant directors and asked him when they were planning to shoot the scene. The assistant director checked his notes and gave her an answer. Then he looked over towards him as Hea-Jung pointed at him.
Hea-Jung said as she came back, "The assistant director told me that it would be good to be at the set at around 8:30 or 9. They want to shoot at 9:30. Also, you have a small costume the crew picked out, so wait a few minutes here for someone to get it for you. Do you want Sister Han to drop you back at the hotel?"
Joon-won nodded and replied, "Alright then, I\'ll wait here for a few minutes for my costume and no. I don\'t want her to drop me, I remember the name of the hotel and can take a quick cab there. I don\'t want to be alone with her and scare her into getting into an accident during the drive. So it\'s ok. Anyway, you should go now, I\'m already getting enough stares for a whole month. I\'ll be at the set by 9 and will meet you there."
Hea-Jung giggled when she heard about Han Ju and just nodded at the end before walking back to the place with both the main leads. Before she went, she didn\'t forget to tell him that he should ask for a receipt from the cab driver so that the film crew can reimburse him, to which he happily nodded. Hea-Jung had the most screen time after those two, even more than the villain.
As she just took her seat beside the female lead, she heard the female lead ask something, "Is that your boyfriend Hea-Jung? Looks like you are already committed." With a giggle.
Hea-Jung turned her head and replied, "Of course not. He is my junior brother I spoke about with the director yesterday for the small role in tonight\'s shooting. I was just telling him what time he needed to be there and stuff. Why? Are you interested?" With an amused smile. The female lead was a woman in her early 30s and so she took care of Hea-Jung a little, as it was her first film. Both of them were on friendly terms because of that.
The female lead just shook her head and replied, "Not at all. I was just curious." Hea-Jung just nodded and looked towards Joon-won, who seemed to receive his costume from one of the crew members.
Joon-won nodded and thanked the crew member as he looked into the cover to find only a standard dress. A simple shirt and torn jeans. He then walked out of the building and as soon as he did, he turned on his phone only to find messages from Do Hwan, Jung-hwa, and his sister.
Do Hwan asked how everything was and if he met up with Hea-Jung yet, to which he sent a quick reply. Jung-hwa and Yun-hee messages, on the other hand, were paras and paras about how everything was asking for a detailed explanation. He decided to reply after he got on a cab so he just closed the app and walked out of the premises. He looked around and remembered that no unauthorized vehicles were allowed on the street because of their shoot, so he started walking down the small slope once again.
After walking for a while, he finally crossed the restrictions and hailed down a cab towards the hotel. He spent the entire time texting both of them about how everything went down and closed the app after they felt satisfied. He also told Jung-hwa that he couldn\'t take pictures because he wasn\'t allowed to.
