#54_Filming, excitement

"Mind sheep!"

After arriving in the country, I rested at the hotel for about a day and then headed to the filming location alone the next day. I was surprised by the unexpected welcome that greeted me.




I was worried because I was the only Asian in the cast, but I had no reason to be.






“Emma?”






Even the female lead, Emma Watson.



I didn't think I would have a chance to talk to her since there was no scene where we had a conversation, but she approached me first.



Of course, there was a scene where they met, but at the end of the movie, when the beast turns back into a prince and the ball is held, they don't even dance separately, they just look at each other unilaterally.





"I heard you're a fan of mine. Nice to meet you."

I was momentarily dumbfounded and barely managed to continue speaking.





“I’m a huge fan of Emma Watson…!”





“Is it because you like Harry Potter…”
photo





"I really like Harry Potter.
Especially Hermione there
I thought it was really attractive,
Still, I like Watson better."






She opened her eyes, as if she were quite surprised. And then she continued.






"I guess he's an actor who learns to transfer his mind.
Even if I just said I liked Hermione
I wish I had… "







America is not a country that strictly observes age etiquette, but Emma Watson, who was about 10 years younger than me, found me cute and looked at me happily with a smile on her pretty face.






"I like the character
"Because I don't like actors."






I wanted to ask for her number and keep in touch, but I couldn't bring myself to ask for it.





She was a huge star, a very respected actress, and I was a huge fan of hers, so it was a bit awkward for me, a rookie, to ask her for her number.




But it was a moment of courage, thinking that if not now, there would never be another chance.





"In Korea, women are more
I used to call older women ‘sister’.
"Can you please call me that too?"

The fact that she didn't have a scene where they talked and that she approached her junior, who was her fan, first could be interpreted as her good personality.





But her behavior of showing affection and secretly trying to get close to me was a little strange.






“Sister Emma. Oh, Sister Watson?”





"I like Emma. Please call me that."
photo





I wanted to ask why he was so interested in me.



I wasn't even a famous singer or actor in Korea yet, I was just a rookie who had just started out.






"Oh, I forgot to mention it. I'm a fan of Ma-eum Yang too."





"How did you know me?
Oh, so I'm still abroad
I’ve never been active before, so it’s amazing that you know… “







She spouted out English nonstop. Seventeen and Shua oppa said I was a native-level speaker, but Emma was so excited that she spoke so fast I couldn't understand her.







"Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't understand."






"Oh, no. I'm sorry. I'll say it again."

Her words were:



Among the fans of Alex Watson, her younger brother and Burberry model, there is a second-generation Korean-American fan, meaning that her parents are Korean and she was born in the United States (Shua's older brother is a second-generation Korean-American fan).
The fan said he showed him my picture every time.






Alex said he fell in love with me right away because he liked my face (and I guess the fans knew that too) and because he knew I was a good singer.





Alex didn't stop there, he sold it to my older sister, Emma, ​​and she also became a fan.







"He said he wanted to come to this shoot,
"Can I bring you?"





"I am honored!"





I should at least say thank you to that second-generation Korean-American fan. My favorite Hollywood actor has become my fan.






“Oh, but how did he know me…?”






"They said they saw a goblin.
I'm a huge fan of Korean dramas, so I look up songs too.
A music video with the singer's face
There was only .
Even the man is EXO Sehun. That's why."

"I just sang it happily because it was my debut song.
"The influence is greater than I thought."






"Because the drama was good."




"You're right, sister."






There was still a smile on her face, and I could confidently ask without having to muster up any more courage.







"I want to exchange phone numbers and keep in touch."






"Oh, that's what I was going to say, but I missed the player."






I smiled at her joking remark. As soon as we exchanged phone numbers, I heard the director say they were going to start filming right away.


We had to part ways for a while, and I moved to film my scene.

From the moment I received the script, I thought that since my part was so small, I would probably finish filming in three days at most.



“But I didn’t know it would be this short…”




"Oh, you didn't show that consideration again?"
photo




I couldn't help but chuckle at the sight of her smiling as if she was having fun.



It's a shame that the filming time was shortened, but it's true that I was happy just to be filming in the same space with the star I admired.




My wish to stay as long as possible was dashed because filming ended in just one day.




In the end, thanks to Alex Watson, I was able to stop by the set one more time and then return to Korea.






It's true that I was tired during the flight, but perhaps because it was first class, I felt much less tired, and it felt like I was catching up on all the rest I had missed.






“…Oh my! Oh my heart!”







I was woken from a dream that was filled with fatigue by the sound of someone calling me.



I thought I had a bit of a break, but just a week after starting filming again, I was on the verge of death again.






"are you okay…?"






Choi Woo-yeon, who is older than me and a classmate I became close with when I entered Yonsei University's Department of Creative Writing.




She was a good person who understood me 100%, even though I was a little resentful of her for always wishing for me.






“Oh, class is over…?”
photo






"Yeah. You're free now. Go get some sleep..."






I smiled faintly, expressing my gratitude for her concern.






"I have to go shoot. I have a few movie auditions."







Her expression was distorted in an ugly way.





I thought that maybe my skin and body condition right now was just like that.






“Aren’t you going to fall?”







“It hasn’t collapsed yet.
“Don’t worry too much, I’ll sleep soundly while I’m on the move.”
photo






Senior Wooyeon still couldn't erase the worry from his eyes, and eventually decided to go to the car together.




Otherwise, I might stumble and fall.






“I won’t fall.
It's too much to lose your mind and get hurt in a place like this
“Time is such a waste.”







As I made such a bold statement, my mind suddenly drifted off and I fell into a light sleep.



And the result was that I lost my footing and fell down the stairs.





I woke up from a light sleep, expecting a huge shock, only to find a familiar, sturdy back supporting me.






“…Seokwoo oppa?”
photo






Seok-woo sighed deeply and helped me up.






“Wasn’t it in your car?”






"I was leaving in the middle of class. You really..."






“You were leaving in the middle of class?
“Brother, were you a student at Yonsei University?”






“Yeah. Of course, I’m in management.”
photo






He chuckled. If he hadn't been a Yonsei University student, he might have collapsed helplessly, sustaining injuries for weeks.






Then I could have taken a break, but I would have harmed thousands of people and my mind would not have been able to rest.







“Oh, oppa, you’re majoring in Carrot Management?
She's too pretty to be a manager.
“It’s okay if it’s late, so think about it as an actor.”







“What are you learning…”
photo






Seok-woo let out a sigh that was absurd but still pleasant.






"Oh, Soi-sister, you're at Yonsei University too? Uh, you're at work..."







“I know who she is. She’s my sister…”
photo






“Wow, that’s your brother’s younger sister?
But the two of them really don't look alike?"







“I hear a lot of people say we don’t look alike.
Now come to your senses and let's go to the schedule.
“The script was confiscated while I was there.”








I think I heard that from Shua oppa on the plane to America.






As he spoke, his older sister, who was behind him, came down the stairs in a hurry.





Oh, I told my sister I was sleeping on the move, but Seok-woo caught me because of what he said. I was caught reading my script even on the move.






"Hey, Jang Ma-eum. If you fall, I won't leave you alone."






“Yeah,” I barely managed to answer.







“Are you the manager at heart…?
“I really hope you take good care of me.”








Seok-woo nodded and poured out the words he had always wanted to say to his college friends.








“Please build an iron wall around those who cling to me as celebrities.
I really hate those kinds of kids
I'm an introvert, so I'm not good at saying things like that.

And my mind is underage
Because I really don't like drinking alcohol
Please refrain from giving alcohol.
Even if my heart wants to eat it, please stop me.




Please do not wake me up if I am dozing off during class.
“Please let me finish the lecture on time and come out.”











“Ah, really, oppa…!”








“Yes, we are doing that. Don’t worry too much.
Please make sure you can sleep well while your mind is on the move.”







It was a strange sight to see two people who cared about me worrying about each other and asking each other to do well.






“I will take full responsibility for that and put you to sleep.”
photo






“Yes,” she barely managed to answer.






“Oh, and that’s my ideal type. Could I have their phone number?”






Judging by Seok-woo's handsome face and the way he treated me, I must have found him to be a very attractive man to my sister.





But why does my heart feel strangely fluttering? Ah, this is the feeling I had for Seungwoo not too long ago.






It took me a long time to feel that emotion and put a name to it, but now I know it.






I think I like Seok-woo more rationally than I thought.







“I have someone I like. I’m sorry.”
photo







My sister, by chance, waved her hand and said no, and then spat out words full of worry about me again.





I told him I had to go because if I left him alone, he would probably just talk about that for a couple of hours.




She was still worried about me, but she couldn't help it, so she left. Seok-woo, too, was deeply worried, and he sighed deeply as he spoke to me.








“Can you walk? Should I carry you?”
photo







“No. It’s not necessary to go that far.”






He spoke to me in a sorrowful voice, as if he knew all about my weaknesses and frailties, pretending to be strong.






“Heart, I am the one who exists for you.
You can rely on me.”







His words elicited a sly chuckle. It was a bit different from what Seventeen had said about expectations.




It was a completely different story because what he was doing was for my benefit.







“…I owe you a favor.”






Only then did his handsome face lift and a beautiful smile appear. He, who was significantly taller than me, gently carried me on his back.





I didn't like this kind of full-body skinship because it felt like I was being treated like a baby.



My feelings for him were growing so much that I just wanted to lean on him, or maybe I was just tired, but I just wanted to lie down comfortably on his back.






“I think I like you, oppa…”







Of course, my brother must have understood what I said to mean that the singer in charge liked me as his manager.





And even if it was a rational confession, he would have naturally waited until I was an adult first.





But the answer he gave was unexpected.







“Like me. I’ll like you too.
“You like me more than I like you.”
photo







The words “I like you” that came out of his mouth probably meant that he cared for me as a singer, cherished me as a younger brother, and cherished me as a person.





I knew it all, but my heart started beating so fast that I could feel it, unable to control it.
