“This one’s pretty good.”

So far, I hadn’t had anything that could really be called an all-night shoot, and my screen time hadn’t been that long, so I was still fine. Even while shooting , it had been manageable enough.

“And the rest....”

I scrolled down and checked the list. Since I didn’t have many points yet, there were only a few items I could use. A mint ade that was good for when tears wouldn’t come out, candy that made you never mess up a line....

“Oh? This one’s nice.”

It just so happened that the influencer 1 scene in the club was what I was struggling with. I had even considered going to a real club.

‘I don’t want to spark a controversy.’

This was after making an impression on the youth demographic. If someone posted on a community board [Saw Pi Chaewon at a club lolol Proof!], it would become exhausting.

‘But I also don’t want to shoot the club scene awkwardly....’

Everyone has seen something like this at least once. Scenes where an actor who is a smoker tries to act like a non-smoker but ends up smoking like a real smoker.

No matter how well you act, habits are frightening. What has seeped into the body becomes even more noticeable on camera.

“Good, I’ll buy this one!”

Influencer 1, the role I had to play, went to clubs fairly often, but she was also a college freshman who felt awkward with expensive alcohol and large VIP rooms. To show her clumsy but excited demeanor properly, I needed the item’s help.

Would you like to purchase the item?

Without hesitation, I pressed Yes.

“Actor, why are you outside instead of waiting inside?”

“Just~ wanted to look around a bit.”

Always chasing extreme efficiency, Yun Hyeonjo stood near Director Gong, looking toward the club entrance. Despite the humid and hot summer weather, his suit alone made him look uncomfortably warm.

“Hyeonjo. It’s hot. Are you really okay not going inside? This is a bit inefficient....”

Knowing his personality well, Director Gong asked, but Yun Hyeonjo remained seated on the chair, eyes still fixed on Yeoreum preparing for the shoot.

“If it really gets hot, I’ll go in later~.”

He had thought of Yeoreum occasionally even while shooting other scenes. In those few seconds when they talked with the car window slightly open. Yeoreum, who had spoken emotion through her eyes.

‘He said the audition lasted over thirty minutes.’

The story of how Director Gong had grabbed Han Yeoreum and excitedly talked nonstop about influencer 1 had already reached Yun Hyeonjo’s ears.

Han Yeoreum, who had analyzed a character with only a few lines that thoroughly. He became curious about how that Han Yeoreum would act.

“Going for a take—!”

The movement-check rehearsal ended. Hyeonjo prepared himself fully to enter the take.

This shoot was the scene where influencer 1, already inside the club, calls out to Yun Hyeonjo. With the sound of the slate, Han Yeoreum stepped out from inside the club.

“Oh. Oppa?”

It was a clearly contrived and awkward tone no matter who heard it. As if deliberately for the club guard to hear, influencer 1 grabbed Detective Yun’s wrist.

Detective Yun met influencer 1’s eyes. His expression remained neat and cold.

‘Don’t worry about my title, just follow me naturally as you pull me.’

It felt like he heard something like that in his ear. Influencer 1 was speaking with sentences in her eyes. Detective Yun raised one eyebrow slightly.

“Cut—! Good!”

The hand holding Detective Yun’s wrist dropped away. A few more takes followed from different angles.

Even when influencer 1’s face wasn’t on camera, Yeoreum didn’t stop acting. As if she truly were influencer 1.

Influencer 1 pulled Detective Yun’s wrist and melted into the crowd. Everyone held their phones, moving their hands as if texting someone.

Pretending to have no interest in anyone else, as if they came just to enjoy the music. Their bodies swayed only lightly to the rhythm.

Influencer 1 behaved similarly. She seemed quite familiar with this kind of place.

In the noisy, crowded club, influencer 1 quietly reached back and tugged on Detective Yun’s ear. Then she cupped one hand to block the noise and said loudly:

“You must not be used to clubs or places like this at your age. Just follow me appropriately. Don’t stand out and act natural. Got it?”

“...My age?”

“Do not be too, too nervous. Hoo. Try taking a deep breath.”

Even through the loud club music, influencer 1’s voice came through clearly.

Detective Yun bent slightly to match her height, then straightened his back again.

Even to that reaction, influencer 1 looked up at him boldly. A mixture of exhilaration at finally catching criminals, nervousness that they might get caught, and that inexplicable recklessness young people have.

“Heh... wow.”

“Yes. Exactly like that.”

Influencer 1 misunderstood his incredulous scoff as him following her instructions to take a deep breath, and made a small fist in a fighting pose in front of Detective Yun.

Detective Yun unconsciously raised his hand as well. A half-hearted, empty fighting gesture.

“Cut—!”

Director Gong’s voice announcing the cut sounded unusually excited.

“What was that? Hyeonjo? That was ad-lib, right! Right!”

“Uh... yes, I guess?”

“‘I guess’? Wow. I’ve never seen you ad-lib like that before.”

It was the first time for Yun Hyeonjo as well. He looked down at Yeoreum with a dazed expression. Yeoreum still had influencer 1’s expression, fist clenched as if saying, ‘See? Aren’t you glad you followed me?’

‘Strange.’

He kept hearing things. As if he had become some psychic who could hear others’ inner thoughts. He kept reading lines in her gaze.

“Director.”

It was clearly inefficient. Filming time could extend indefinitely, and it might affect the next shoot.

In the worst case, they might have to scrap everything they shot today and redo it on another day.

“May I ad-lib too?”

But an inexplicable impulse rose. Director Gong’s mouth fell open at Yun Hyeonjo’s question.

* * *

Filming continued until late dawn. They had rented the club, so they needed to move quickly.

It was finally the scene entering the VIP room. A yellow smiley balloon floated near the table. It was the “Funny Balloon,” soon to be the mascot of .

“Yeoreum, sit here. Yeah. Just like that.”

I sat neatly without crossing my legs. That detail came from Director Gong’s instructions.

I knew someone was about to burst into this room soon, I wanted to get up and run away, and I couldn’t relax—so the interpretation was that I wouldn’t sit with my usual habit of crossing my legs.

‘Directors really are different.’

Since Director Gong handled the detailed posture, it was up to me to handle the expression and emotions.

Influencer 1 was simple and childish. But I had to discard the “it’ll work out somehow” mindset I’d carried before.

‘Right now, ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) even if she drinks, she’s not drunk, and even if she’s smiling, she’s not at ease.’

She doesn’t know all the details, but she knows there’s an enormous organization lurking behind this. If she slips up, she might become one of the scapegoats. A single news headline she casually skimmed might end up being about her.

‘Why did I crash the car...!’

The first emotion that came up was this. Regret.

This was the most fitting thought for a twenty-year-old who had gotten tangled with Detective Yun and somehow ended up injected into a crime scene.

‘Of course, of course I said I would do it....’

Unable to blame anyone, I bit my lip briefly.

“Yes! That expression is great! Going for a take just like that!”

Director Gong shouted after checking my expression on the monitor.

This scene was one of the three hardest scenes in . A moment that highlighted the action scene of Detective Yun and Detective Kwak bursting in after the radio cue.

Tak—!

The sound of the slate rang out.
