From the moment Chopin’s Nocturne No. 9 2nd movement flowed out from Seojun’s, no, ‘Lee Jaeha’s’ hands, the filming set was as quiet as a mouse.
Of course, it was natural that when filming, it had to be quiet so that no sound other than the actors’ voices or the sounds on set were recorded, but the atmosphere was a little different now.
Everyone just blankly watched Seojun act, seemingly forgetting that they could even make a sound.
‘It was great during practice too, but… … .’
Kim Sang-hoon, the actors, and the child actors unconsciously recalled the practice they had done with Seo-jun.
I thought it was amazing that they turned a practice room without any props or costumes into a stage with just acting skills, but the filming that included the background, props, and makeup was really shocking in its grandeur.
It felt like I was watching someone’s daily life, not acting.
‘This is the method.’
As it is a famous acting technique, several actors who wanted to try it someday let out exclamations without realizing it. I thought it was only natural that there would be side effects if you acted like this.
I could feel the admiration even without hearing the sound.
The staff at Heehwa Film and the two managers shrugged their shoulders. They were all people who knew very well how Seojun acted.
But this time it was a little special.
“Director, does Seojun seem excited?”
“Yes. The immersion is deeper than usual.”
Andaho smiled and nodded at Choi Tae-woo’s whisper.
It was definitely his first shoot after being discharged from the hospital, so he seemed to be even more focused.
‘It’s director Kim Soo-han’s work, and actor Han Jun-seo is also in it.’
Beep- beep-
Han Jun-seo, who had just received director Kim Soo-han’s signal to “go in,” began acting.
The sharp warning sound heard when the password was entered incorrectly once seemed to make ‘Lee Jae-ha’, who was happily playing the piano in the living room, tense for a moment.
I heard that it wasn’t in the original script, but it was added at Han Jun-seo’s suggestion, and I think it was a good addition.
‘oh.’
Not only that, Han Jun-seo’s acting also impressed Ahn Da-ho, who had been watching Seo-jun’s acting for a long time.
The front door opened and Han Jun-seo, no, ‘Choi Dong-hyun’ came in.
I heard that they changed the setting to use the left leg, but there was a subtle difference in movement that I wouldn’t notice unless I looked closely.
Choi Dong-hyun took off his shoes, came inside, and looked at Lee Jae-ha, who was playing the piano.
He looked at Lee Jae-ha with a calm, expressionless face, but his eyes were sharply looking up and down.
‘You’re good at it.’
After hearing that he was going to be playing Seo-jun’s counterpart, I looked up the works he had appeared in, and of course he did well in those works, but seeing him in person like this made me think he did even better than I expected.
‘furthermore…….’
Choi Tae-woo whispered.
“Don’t you think he’s a bit similar to Seojun?”
“That’s right.”
Andaho nodded in agreement.
Of course, since Seo-jun’s career is career and the two actors went through completely different processes to become actors, they weren’t exactly the same, but the atmosphere or the ‘grain of acting’ seemed similar, like two branches growing from the same tree.
But it was also different.
Just like how branches from the same tree grow straight while others grow in beautiful curves.
“Did you practice that too?”
“Maybe so.”
As Choi Tae-woo said, since it was a single piece of work, he might have practiced to match the mood. Seo-jun would have done the same.
Of course, this happened because they had the same ‘soul’, but there was no way to know that.
Andaho returned to focusing on the set.
Lee Jae-ha, who finished playing the piano, was seen talking with Choi Dong-hyun with a bright expression. Choi Dong-hyun also acted naturally according to Lee Jae-ha’s lines.
‘It’s a bit of a shame.’
While researching about the actor Han Jun-seo, Andaho found a record of him applying to Cocoa Entertainment when it moved to a new building a few years ago.
With this kind of acting ability, he could have passed.
Then Han Jun-seo might have become a more famous actor sooner. He would have gotten along well with Seo-jun too.
But even though it was a little disappointing, I didn’t regret it.
Andaho always did her best to make the best decision, and at the time, she thought that Han Junseo didn’t fit in well with Cocoa Entertainment.
Maybe now was the best time of year.
‘Actors is also a good company.’
Andaho smiled faintly at the sight of Manager Han Junseo looking at his actor with sparkling eyes.
“Cut! Okay! Aaaah! You both did really well!!”
Director Kim Soo-han, who had been looking back and forth between the monitor and the set without blinking, shouted “okay” and jumped up from his chair. Then, he ran to the front of the set and tried to hug the two wonderful actors who seemed to have come straight out of his imagination, but he clenched his fists.
This was because I knew that there would be different perspective shots of the same scene, such as a bust shot or a close-up shot, so not even one collar could be out of place. The art team was also keeping a sharp eye on it.
“I liked the piano playing that changed depending on Lee Jae-ha’s emotions, and the change in voice tone was really good. Jun-seo, your facial expressions were also really good. It really felt like I was watching Lee Jae-ha and Choi Dong-hyun!”
So, although it was frustrating that they could only praise him with words, Seo-jun and Han-jun-seo smiled brightly as if they were happy just by seeing Director Kim Soo-han’s excited expression.
“Then shall we start filming right away?”
“Okay! Let’s do that!”
Director Kim Soo-han nodded repeatedly at Seo-jun’s words and left the set. The staff checked Seo-jun and Han Jun-seo’s makeup again, and the cameras moved forward to get a closer shot.
Seojun went back to the piano, and Hanjunseo went behind the front door.
Director Kim Soo-han looked back and forth between the monitor and the set with an excited face. How thrilling it was to see a scene he had only imagined appear perfectly before his eyes.
But I immediately tried to calm my excited mind.
Because we weren’t just going to shoot this one scene. We had to be calm and collected for the next three months to capture the perfect scene on camera.
Director Kim Soo-han took a deep breath and raised his voice.
“Ready,”
Seo Jun and Han Jun-seo, who transformed into Lee Jae-ha and Choi Dong-hyun, were captured on camera.
I wonder what kind of great acting they will show us in the future.
Director Kim Soo-han smiled as he felt a slight thrill and excitement and shouted, “Action!”

Choi Dong-hyun, who ended up spending some time with him, looked at Lee Jae-ha for a moment and then got up from the sofa. Lee Jae-ha flinched at that. He accepted the request, but he wanted to go and tell his father right away.
“Hey, where are you going, hyung?”
Lee Jae-ha followed Choi Dong-hyun, who was heading towards the real entrance, while pondering, ‘Should I really grab hold of his trouser leg?’
“You have to bring your luggage. Are you telling me to stay here without any clothes?”
There were a lot of things I had to pack, from toiletries to daily necessities and even food.
‘Should I just leave it alone?’
As Choi Dong-hyun was thinking about how annoying it was, he clenched and unclenched one hand, and Lee Jae-ha’s innocent voice came into his ear.
“Oh, I see. Then, please hurry up and come back. I’ll clean up the room where you’ll be staying.”
And when he said that with a gentle face, I couldn’t help it.
Choi Dong-hyun said as if sighing.
“Don’t run away. It’ll be a hassle to look for you.”
“I’m really not running away. I’m just going to practice piano here until the competition.”
“I won’t say anything either. I need to get paid.”
“Money! Money is important!”
Only then did Lee Jae-ha’s expression brighten as if he was truly relieved by Choi Dong-hyun’s firm words.
“Take care on your way back, Dong-hyun hyung!”
“……okay.”
After seeing Dong-Hyeon Choi off, Jae-Ha Lee quickly went to the living room and looked at the doors, thinking.
The accommodation that Lee Jae-ha chose through Airbnb was an apartment, which was the most common type of house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
“Would you like the biggest room?”
He was willing to give up the big room even though he was using it now. He had told his father that he would not do it.
‘I have to do a good job so that she doesn’t change her mind!’
Besides, if we became friends, not only this time, but in the future, if I asked for help again when I ran away from home, maybe they would listen. If that happened, I would be able to feel the same freedom as I do now for a longer period of time.
“Okay. Let’s go to the big room.”
Lee Jae-ha, smiling brightly, opened the door to the main room, thinking that he should finish tidying up by the time Choi Dong-hyun returned.
Meanwhile, Choi Dong-hyun, who came out of the house, pressed the elevator button and immediately took out his cell phone.
And then I pressed the black wireless earphone that was plugged into my left ear.
There was a very short beep and then a sound like someone was answering the phone.
“Yes, I have confirmed it.”
Choi Dong-hyun looked at the tightly closed front door and thought of Lee Jae-ha inside the house.
“I think it will take some time.”
***
Beep-beep-beep
As soon as the sound of the door lock was heard, Lee Jae-ha, who had been waiting for Choi Dong-hyun to come, jumped up from the piano chair and headed toward the front door.
As he had said, Choi Dong-hyun was coming in carrying a bag full of luggage.
“Welcome, bro!”
Choi Dong-hyun’s expression became pale at Lee Jae-ha’s bright smile.
How long has it been since I last saw you that you are so happy?
Choi Dong-hyun wondered if this was his original personality or if it was because he didn’t tell his ‘father’, who sounded like he was being unusual just by hearing him a little, but he concluded that no matter what his personality was, he didn’t need to worry since they were only going to spend a few days together.
“Would you like me to help you with your luggage? It looks heavy. Oh, your room is the biggest. There’s a bathroom inside, so it’s comfortable to use. I’m going to stay in this room, so if you’re bored, call me anytime.”
… … isn’t it?
Choi Dong-hyun’s brow furrowed slightly at the sight of Lee Jae-ha talking a lot and being friendly.
“Okay. More importantly, where is my room?”
“This way!”
Choi Dong-hyun followed Lee Jae-ha, who was walking in front.
When I opened the door, I saw a large room with only a bed, a wardrobe, and some furniture, but it looked quite empty.
“Because it’s an Airbnb, there aren’t many items.”
Choi Dong-hyun, who had put his bag down on one side, nodded to Lee Jae-ha’s explanation and opened his mouth.
“This is fine. From now on, I’ll be using this place, so you stay out of here.”
Lee Jae-ha, who had willingly given up the large room with good intentions, pouted at Choi Dong-hyun’s cold tone.
“I didn’t even think about coming in! And we can just play together in the living room.”
“… … Want to play together?”
Lee Jae-ha rolled his eyes at Choi Dong-hyun, who asked back as if he had heard something strange, and then laughed and said.
“We’ll have to spend a few days together anyway. Wouldn’t it be better to be friendly rather than awkward? And eat together.”
While talking with an excited face, Lee Jae-ha noticed Choi Dong-hyun’s quiet appearance and muttered in a sullen voice.
“If you don’t like it, there’s nothing I can do.”
If you pay for the request, they might listen.
However, Lee Jae-ha knew that if even this kind of thing became a ‘request’, it would be difficult to build a personal relationship.
‘If you don’t like it, there’s nothing I can do.’
Still, we should eat together as much as possible.
There is also a saying that goes, “family” (people who live in the same house and eat together). You become close while eating together.
Choi Dong-hyun, who had no way of knowing Lee Jae-ha’s hidden intentions, looked at him for a moment and then sighed.
“Yeah, well, whatever. What are you going to do for fun?”
“uh…….”
Lee Jae-ha was momentarily taken aback by the unexpected answer, then answered cautiously.
“Appreciating piano performance… … right?”
“Are you playing? Don’t you have any friends?”
Lee Jae-ha slumped his shoulders at Choi Dong-hyun, who was looking at him with a bewildered expression.
“… … No, I haven’t. I’ve only played the piano since I was 4. I went to school through homeschooling and learned piano from teachers who called me to my house. The only kids I met around the same age were those I met at piano competitions or contests.”
Choi Dong-hyun nodded after looking at Lee Jae-ha, who had only played the piano in his life.
“I don’t know much about classical music, but if I just listen to it.”
“!”
Lee Jae-ha’s face brightened at that answer.
“I’ll tell you! Classic!”
“Okay. I won’t even hear it.”
Choi Dong-hyun waved his hand.
“Now go to your room. I’m tired too, so I should go to sleep.”
“Oh, I see.”
Lee Jae-ha, who realized that the sky had already become dark, nodded and said with a big smile.
“Then see you tomorrow, Donghyun hyung!”
“……okay.”
As Lee Jae-ha headed to his room, Choi Dong-hyun closed the door.
Then he let out a sigh as if he was tired.
