Episode 64

 

“Action!”

 

As soon as the signal dropped, Gangster 1 rushed toward Yewon.

 

“Where does this little brat think she’s going!”

 

With a thud sound – Yewon was thrown straight to the ground.

 

“…!”

 

Even though they had laid thick mats beforehand and covered them with fine dirt so Yewon wouldn’t get hurt.

 

The gangsters threw Yewon toward a spot that was subtly off the mat.

 

So while her bottom landed well on the mat side, her legs felt the full pain of scraping against the dirt floor.

 

This wasn’t acting.

 

It really hurt.

 

But instead of screaming, Yewon glared at the gangster with venomous eyes.

 

“Let go of me!”

 

She shouted and struggled as written in the script.

 

Now it was the gangsters’ turn to deliver the obvious line ‘If we don’t let go, what are you going to do about it?’

 

“….”

 

What’s this?

 

However, instead of delivering their lines, the gangsters just stood frozen in place, looking down at Yewon.

 

“Cut!”

 

Naturally, the cut signal came from the director.

 

Yewon could see angry Juyeong Manager trying to approach her, but Yewon desperately shook her head.

 

No.

 

It would be troublesome if unnie stepped in now.

 

“…!”

 

The moment Juyeong hesitated at Yewon’s desperate gaze.

 

“Hey, you need to deliver your lines. And I asked you to go easy on her, so how can you throw the child so hard?”

 

Director Choi shouted angrily at the gangster actors.

 

“Ah. Sorry. The kid was lighter than I thought, so I accidentally….”

 

“And you need to throw more accurately. What if she goes off the mat!”

 

When Director Choi fumed with anger, the gangster role actors groveled pathetically.

 

“You shouldn’t apologize to me. Apologize to Yewon.”

 

“Ah, yes, yes.”

 

The gangster role actors completely changed from their cold gaze earlier and groveled to Yewon too.

 

“Sorry, kid. Really sorry. It was a mistake.”

 

“…It’s okay. I’m fine! Let’s do it again quickly.”

 

“Right, right. I won’t make a mistake this time.”

 

However.

 

Yewon saw it.

 

As soon as the production team looked away, Yeongho giving signals to the gangster actors.

 

And them nodding in response.

 

‘So this is how they’re doing it.’

 

Yewon bit her lips.

 

It was a scheme to keep knocking her down by deliberately causing NGs.

 

What a low and childish method – unbelievable that they’d use this on a child actor.

 

Yewon frowned deeply.

 

It was obvious why Yeongho was doing this.

 

He was trying to either hurt Yewon this way, or drain all her energy here to ruin the later filming.

 

If filming got disrupted like this, it would be easy to drive public opinion that it was Yewon’s fault for ‘unprofessionally failing to manage her stamina.’

 

Even for a 7-year-old, film sets weren’t particularly lenient. If she caused problems on set, there would definitely be gossip.

 

“Let’s go again!”

 

Second take. This time she was pushed more gently than before, but the gangster actors cleverly pushed Yewon outside the mat.

 

Thanks to that, Yewon scraped her palm a little while trying to brace herself on the dirt outside the mat.

 

‘Really petty, so petty.’

 

They’re pushing just enough that only I know and no one else notices.

 

These bastards….

 

Yewon gritted her teeth.

 

“Again!”

 

Third time, fourth time.

 

Continuous “again” signals due to the gangster actors’ clever little mistakes.

 

Before long, Yewon’s clothes were covered in dirt, and various parts of her body began getting hurt in very subtle ways.

 

Finally.

 

“Um, wait a moment. I think Yewon’s hand is bleeding.”

 

“!!”

 

When Juyeong, who couldn’t watch anymore, protested, the production team’s expressions darkened.

 

“Sorry, but let me check for a moment.”

 

Juyeong turned pale and grabbed Yewon’s hand. Blood was beading up from the palm that had scraped against the dirt floor, clotting together with the dirt.

 

That wasn’t all.

 

“Yewon. Can you try moving your wrist?”

 

Juyeong whispered to Yewon.

 

“….”

 

However, Yewon could only give a troubled smile without being able to answer.

 

I’ve been caught.

 

“Oh my god…. You sprained your wrist, didn’t you?! Right now-”

 

“No!”

 

Yewon quickly grabbed Juyeong.

 

“I’ll go to the hospital right after filming. I just want to finish this scene.”

 

“Yewon, but still….”

 

In Juyeong’s mind, Yewon needed to stop filming immediately and get treatment.

 

But when Yewon looked up with such a desperate expression, Juyeong was flustered.

 

Wait, this young child wants to finish filming without showing any sign of her pain?

 

“If I go to the hospital now, we’ll have to reshoot this scene.”

 

“!”

 

“Then I’ll get hurt again, and if I get hurt again, it’ll probably hurt more.”

 

Yewon’s words made sense too. As Yewon tried her best to persuade her, just when Juyeong was troubled and didn’t know what to do.

 

“Oh my, tsk tsk,”

 

As if he’d been waiting, Yeongho chimed in from behind.

 

“Director, it seems impossible to continue filming. It looks like Miss Yewon’s enthusiasm is getting ahead of her, but her body can’t keep up. For action scenes, well. The coordination needs to work well. And you need some talent for it, don’t you think.”

 

Yeongho continued speaking while looking around at the surrounding staff with a seemingly regretful expression.

 

“How about we call it a day and let Miss Yewon rest? If a bigger accident happens, it’ll interfere with our filming too.”

 

‘Ha.’

 

Yewon snorted inwardly.

 

That sly comment.

 

To think he’s acting worried and hypocritical when he’s the one who caused this.

 

If filming stopped now, who would the staff’s complaints be directed at?

 

Naturally, they’d be focused on Yewon, ‘the child actor who got hurt because she couldn’t handle her body well.’

 

‘That’s absolutely not happening.’

 

Yewon lightly tugged at Juyeong’s sleeve.

 

Juyeong looked down at Yewon with a tearful expression. Yewon said ‘I’m okay’ with her eyes and stood up energetically as if to show off.

 

“It doesn’t hurt! It’s just a little scrape.”

 

“B-but Yewon. The blood….”

 

“If I put on a band-aid and cover it with makeup, it won’t show at all. Director, I can do it!”

 

Yewon’s spirited and clear voice echoed throughout the filming set.

 

Yeongho’s expression stiffened for a moment, then he forced a smile.

 

“Aren’t you pushing yourself too hard? If you mess up the later filming because of this-”

 

“No, I think I can do it if we try just one more time!”

 

“!”

 

“The uncles said they really won’t make mistakes this time. Right?”

 

Yewon looked up directly at the thug actors.

 

The innocent eyes of a 7-year-old child. But the actors who read the cold warning contained within them flinched and swallowed nervously.

 

Director Choi also seemed to sense the atmosphere and threatened the gangsters.

 

“You heard her, right? If even the child is willing to do this, but you grown adults make another mistake, then you better be prepared.”

 

“Ah, yes…”

 

The makeup team rushed in to disinfect Yewon’s wound and covered it with flesh-colored tape. Only after adding dirt over it to hide the injury did Yewon return to her position.

 

‘This is the last time.’

 

Yewon took a deep breath. If they tried to subtly torment her again?

 

This time, Yewon had a plan.

 

“Ready, action!”

 

Gangster 1 rushed at her with an even more menacing force than before. It seemed like he planned to openly intimidate her and make her shrink back.

 

“You little brat!”

 

The gangster’s hand roughly grabbed Yewon’s shoulder. Then he pushed her hard toward the corner of the mat.

 

Another scheme to make her fall off the mat.

 

But the moment Yewon was caught, before the gangster could properly push her, she rolled herself toward the inside of the mat.

 

‘Huh?’

 

The gangster actor’s eyes widened in confusion.

 

Yewon used the momentum from rolling on the ground to quickly sit up. Through her disheveled hair, her eyes blazed fiercely with intense determination.

 

When the gangster actors panicked and tried to grab Yewon again, she delivered her scripted line.

 

“Let go of this!”

 

A resounding shout.

 

Overwhelming presence.

 

The extras playing gangsters almost forgot their lines and stared blankly at Yewon.

 

“Th-this kid…! What are you going to do if we don’t let go!”

 

One actor hurriedly delivered his line. The timing was slightly off, but it actually looked natural, as if he was overwhelmed by the bold little girl.

 

“Cut! Okay!!”

 

Director Choi’s shout, almost like a cheer, burst out.

 

“Great! Seolhwa, very good! That look in your eyes just now was perfect! The action came out great too. You really worked hard. You’re much better than most adults.”

 

Director Choi said this and glared at the extras playing gangster roles who had almost completely ruined today’s filming.

 

He didn’t know which company had sent these bit players, but he was determined to file a complaint about this incident.

 

Amid the praise from the director and staff, Yewon slightly turned her head with her dirt-covered face.

 

Then she made eye contact with Yeongho, who couldn’t control his expression at all.

 

Yewon smugly raised just one corner of her mouth in a sly smile.

 

Seeing Yeongho’s face turn red and blue made all the pain disappear completely.

 

However.

 

Yewon had no intention of ending things quietly here.

 

“Sister. But you know what? Why are there only uncles from the same company here? How strange!”

 

“!”

 

At Yewon’s innocent question to Juyeong, people’s attention was drawn.

 

Juyeong also immediately understood what Yewon was trying to ask, and her eyes sparkled with light.

 

“Ah. You found it strange that there were only uncles from Mirae Entertainment here, Yewon~?”

 

“Yes! The uncles I just filmed with are all friends with that uncle over there too! I want to be friends with them too!”

 

When Yewon pointed directly at Yeongho while speaking.

 

Everyone’s piercing gazes turned toward him.
