The Journey of Love by an Idol

Episode 73

“Lee Do hyun?”, said a female high school student in free uniform on a basketball court.

“Hm?”, reply a male High School student who took his basketball.

The ball was almost about the female student.

“Okay, Cut!”, shouted the director immediately stopped the scene of the drama being played by Kang Dae Hyun as Lee Do Hyun and Jang Hyun Joo as Kang Hye Jin.

From the smile that emanated on the director's face, it seemed like he felt very satisfied with this scene which was still very early.

“Wah. I really didn't expect your chemistry to fit right in the frame. Daehyun-shi, sorry I doubted you.”, said the director patting Daehyun on the shoulder.

“ ⁇ ⁇ (yeolsimhi hagesseumnida).. I will work hard - really.”, Daehyun said as he bowed 90 degrees to the director who trusted him.

Hyun Joo bowed and then circulated a smile.

“Hyun Joo-ah.. Your acting did not disappoint. Although I had seen a little while filming the drama before. I hope that the Crown Princess character will soon disappear from you. Ha-has.. Directly continue to the character of Jang Hyun Joo in the latest drama.”, said the director who was a little worried about the thickness of the character Crown Princess in the previous drama Hyun Joo.

He also became even more so thanks to the drama. So he worried whether the audience would still see Hyun Joo as the Crown Princess or could see her as an ordinary High School student who has a strong character in this drama.

They will complete all necessary filming within the week on the basketball court. There are still about 80 more scenes that they hope to complete this week.

On weekends, they will continue more scenes at school because they can only use it at night for a typical day.

“For the first shoot, you don't need to stay. But, for filming in the middle when the drama is already airing, I hope to give you a comfortable place here. We also can not hold the filming process too long at school.”, said the director.

The drama they play later tells the story of Lee Dohyun, a high school student who is popular in school for his ability to play sports, especially basketball. From the outside, he was seen as a disciple in general. With its popularity, everyone certainly wants a life like it.

However, in reality, Dohyun harbors a deep sense of pain and depresses her. He is expert enough not to show it until Kim Hye Jin, a new student comes to school and finds out all his plans to commit suicide in their third (late) year of school.

Hye Jin, the girl pretends not to know about Dohyun's plans and is determined to stop her plans by changing Dohyun's way of thinking about life. They are still in their second year of High School. Hye Jin has 1 year to change Dohyun's life and prevent her from committing suicide.

“Ah.. Lee Leaf, why is he so long. I've been very hungry.”, complained Daehyun.

“Oh? You hungry? My manager brought me a lot of food from the hotel. He said we might go straight to the set and couldn't buy food.” Hyun Joo said.

“Ah.”, said Daehyun responding to Hyun Joo with his expression.

“How about we eat together?”, take Hyun Joo.

“Eh?”, Daehyun is a bit confused how to answer it.

The problem is that they are still on set. Shouldn't they be too close? This is still their first day on set.

“Wait, Daeun? Your manager? Isn't your manager Seongmin-oppa?” Hyun Joo asked.

The girl was so focused on Daehyun that she had not seen each other for a long time that she had not noticed what she had said.

At least that was what he knew up until now about Seongmin.

“Aah..”, there was a little less happy face than Hyun Joo's expression.

But no one noticed it.

“Then, let's eat together. Daeun might be a long time. My manager also said the canteen is very far away. You'll starve to death until he comes. Fifteen minutes left we have to take the next scene.”, said Hyun Joo pulling Daehyun's arm.

“Some time he comes. He had bought it far away. He's gone from earlier.”, Daehyun replied.

“Take it easy. You can eat it later. The next scene is a fight scene. You can pass out later.”, Hyun Joo tried to persuade Daehyun.

“Hm.. alright then. Isn't the hotel food very tasty.”, said Daehyun finally assented.

After thinking it through - think it right said Hyun Joo. The next scene was a fight with the senior group at school. More or less action scenes that require extra effort. Could - could he faint if not eat.

Hyun Joo contacted his manager to bring food to their waiting room. It was actually not a waiting room, there were only a few chairs and tables where the artists could sit and rest.

Actually, the production has prepared a food truck, but only came at 3 pm because there was a problem.

************

“Daehyun where?”, asked Daeun looking - search and ask the staff there.

“Oh.. there he is.”, replied the staff.

“Ah.. thank you.”, said Daeun.

He carried two bags of snacks requested by Daehyun. Instead of buying everything he asked for, Daeun decided to vote for a low-calorie one.

Daeun walked towards the designated direction. From where he walked, Daeun could already see Daehyun, yet he still looked to himself. Getting closer, Daeun could see that there was someone else there.

From his stature, Daeun could tell that it was Hyun Joo. They laughed like they were talking about something funny. Hyun Joo even covered his mouth a few times with a big laugh and was probably worried that Daehyun might see it.

Daehyun also laughed while eating a sandwich in his hand. Daeun bit her lower lip. He was confused whether to approach them or not.

After thinking for a while, Daeun decided not to come and just sit on the outskirts where several other artists and staff were eating.

“Okeee. Dohyun (the Daehyun call in the drama) and Hye Jin (the Hyun Joo call in the drama) are preparing to get into a fight scene, huh. Make up team, stand by. Please give Daehyun some bruising effect. Hye Jin should have just penetrated the drizzle, so give a slightly wet effect on her hair and clothes.”, said the director using a loudspeaker.

The staff on duty and several stuntmen and supporting cast members were also seen immediately preparing - ready.

“Yaa... Daeun.”, shouted Daehyun from where he stood. He had just seen Daeun in the crowd of people.
