A buff?
‘…Haha.’
There’s no way.
I’ve already burned through everything I had for my activities with Cael Arden.
‘Sorry, girls….’
We don’t have any decent buffs to use….
Who would have thought the day would come when I’d run out of buffs.
Even the random buff boxes are gone since I burned through them all in the United States.
It was so difficult in the United States that I had no choice.
That means we have to endure this situation raw.
“Sigh….”
This is the life of a popular idol?
I used to not understand celebrities who fell asleep during makeup because they were tired every day, or who dozed off during filming.
Now I understand them a hundred times over.
‘They had no choice.’
“Whew.”
I closed my eyes tightly and looked at the darkened sky.
Alright, let’s stop complaining here.
It’s something I have to do. This is the life I wanted.
A life where I’m swamped with work but have things to do and people looking for me everywhere.
I shouldn’t be making spoiled complaints already.
“We’re starting filming now!”
Just as I came to my senses, I heard a staff member’s shout.
The members hurriedly gulped down their coffee like an IV drip and stood up.
Then they exchanged glances with each other.
‘Let’s fight.’
Then they headed to their respective filming locations.
The place I was supposed to film was the corridor on the second floor of the abandoned factory.
The center was completely open so you could see the first floor clearly, and moonlight streamed in directly from outside where there were no windows.
And Han Da-min was visible below the railing.
Han Da-min was in the middle of the factory where the production staff had arbitrarily blocked all the windows and left only the large entrance door wide open to let light in from outside.
Han Da-min stood at the end of the square-shaped light that came in following the shape of the entrance.
When I grabbed the railing and looked at Han Da-min, she looked up at me and grinned.
I smiled back at her.
‘She said she was tired to death.’
While the other members couldn’t hide how exhausted they were, Han Da-min was still trying her best to stay strong.
She really is someone who resembles me a lot.
Anyway, we’re here, but I wonder where the other members are filming.
I saw the production staff take them outside.
I turned my head to look outside through the wide-open window.
“…Ah, found them.”
Min Ha-young had already started filming in the abandoned factory yard, and Seo Ra-eun and Choi Song-i were….
‘I really can’t see them.’
Did they move to a completely different location?
Just as I was looking around outside a bit more, the production staff announced my turn and filming started immediately.
***
“Good work!”
“…Good work.”
I really don’t even have the energy to say good work. Really.
I plopped down on the floor as if falling backward and took ragged breaths.
My hands and costume were covered with dust that had accumulated in the abandoned factory, and I could hear the stylist screaming ‘No!’ from far away.
‘I’m sorry.’
Right now I really don’t have the energy to stand up, costume or not.
Jang Jak-so really shows no mercy.
Well, it’s good that he shows no mercy, but today I almost got angry.
I was exhausted to death but he kept making me run.
I grabbed the railing and ran, looked down below, hid somewhere, did all sorts of crazy things.
The costume and accessories were insanely heavy, the shoes were stiff, my stamina was at its limit, plus the stuffy weather.
“Ji-ye, Ji-ye, get up!”
The stylist came over and hurriedly helped me up, brushed the dust off my butt, and sat me down on a nearby chair.
After sitting there dazed for a while, I looked down below.
‘At least I’m better off….’
It seems I finished the fastest.
Han Da-min is still on the first floor running here and there, hiding, falling, and repeating as she continues filming.
Min Ha-young is….
“Oh my.”
Even we who were filming indoors are this exhausted, so how much worse must Min Ha-young be with her outdoor filming.
It doesn’t seem like her filming is over, and she’s taking a break in a temporary shade tent the staff made, holding a mini fan while almost out of it.
From the atmosphere, it looks like they have a lot more filming left over there.
‘What is the system even doing….’
Shouldn’t it be giving me a SubQuest at times like this?
“Tsk.”
I clicked my tongue, drank my coffee in one gulp, and finally let out a calmed breath.
‘At least today ends with just this.’
It would be great if everyone’s filming ended like this.
Unfortunately, filming wasn’t over.
Tomorrow is also scheduled for filming all day. At least the good news is that there are no running scenes tomorrow?
They said it’s supplementary filming for worldview-related story.
Anyway, once we finish tomorrow’s music video filming, our comeback preparations will truly be over.
For a while, we’ll be able to recover our condition by just practicing.
‘So hang in there, girls….’
I looked pitifully at Min Ha-young who had started filming again and asked a staff member.
“But where did Ra-eun unnie and Song-i go? I haven’t seen them since earlier.”
“Those two filmed here a bit and then moved to a completely different location?”
“Where to?”
“To a set studio nearby.”
“Wow, indoors. I’m jealous.”
I asked with a light laugh.
“But what kind of set studio? I understand Song-i, but Ra-eun unnie too?”
We members, including myself, actually don’t know much about our worldview story.
Director Jang Jak-so changes the already established story to his liking constantly, and we don’t need to know the details.
What we do know is that Song-i has an important role, like what she showed in the 【Blooming】 music video that was our very first title track?
So I understand Song-i filming something separately, but what is Seo Ra-eun filming?
That’s when it happened.
[A SubQuest has arrived!]
‘I take care of my own members!’
The members and you are all very tired and want to return to the dormitory right now to rest.
But to reach higher goals, you can’t get tired already!
Go to the most exhausted member and encourage them.
Your presence alone is a great source of strength!
Difficulty: Low
Reward: [Cheer Up!] Buff
“Oh!”
“You startled me! Why all of a sudden!”
I let out a loud exclamation without realizing it. The stylist who was touching up my makeup beside me was startled and stepped back slightly before approaching again.
“What’s wrong all of a sudden? Did you get some musical inspiration or something?”
“Haha, no.”
As expected, sub-quests are always right.
They prepare quite useful rewards with simple missions at exactly the right moment when they’re needed.
I fell into thought while getting my makeup touched up.
‘The most exhausted member would be…’
Common sense would say it’s Min Ha-young, who’s been struggling outdoors and is still running around here and there, clearly showing signs of exhaustion.
‘But now I know the members too well.’
The most tired member right now? Without a doubt, it’s Choi Song-i.
Han Da-min, Min Ha-young, and Seo Ra-eun are members with passion that goes beyond physical stamina, so no matter how tired they get, they’re people who would think “it’s tough but let’s work hard.”
Especially Seo Ra-eun used to have weak stamina and would get tired quickly regardless of her passion, but recently she felt her lack of stamina and made efforts to go to the gym together when Nana and Han Da-min went.
On the other hand, our cute youngest Song-i is probably going crazy and jumping mad right now.
She already has weak stamina, but she’s been taking on the most important role and filming under Director Jang Jak-so’s intensive care, plus she has too much pride as an experienced member to say she’s tired.
Jang Jak-so is business-like but quite oblivious in that regard, so he’s the type of director who won’t give us breaks and keeps filming unless we openly say we’re tired.
Song-i has as little facial expression change as Ryu Ji-ye, so he probably doesn’t even know she’s tired and keeps making her film.
The one with the weakest stamina.
“…Ugh.”
I got up on my trembling legs and asked the staff members.
“Where’s Song-i? I’m done filming, right? I want to go watch. I’ll bring something to drink.”
I don’t know exactly what the [Cheer Up!] buff is, but it’s probably a buff that makes you feel energized, right?
To be honest, I’m so tired I don’t want to move even a little bit…
‘Let’s go. Go.’
At this point, it was a truly, extremely, incredibly desperately needed buff.
