“Cut! That’s it!” The director’s scream raised the tension on set.

The surroundings, which had been quiet, quickly became noisy, packing up the gear and talking. The director finally called Naomi, and she left her place and went to her seat. Then Chase got up too.

During filming, Josh, standing at a distance and looking around the entire time, immediately took a step. You have to be with Chase until he gets back to the trailer.

His secretary, Laura, was also waiting. She followed Chase faster than Josh. Chase, who took his water, took a sip and soon screwed up his face. Josh and everyone else immediately became nervous. Soon after, Chase threw out the bottle with more than half of the remaining water. The water bottle hit the ground and splashed in all directions, but no one complained. Laura carefully asked why.

“Well, if you don’t like it… if the brand is the problem, I’ll make another water.”

Chase looked at her in a terrifying way. He opened his mouth to the surprised Laura

“Smells like omega.”

“What?” Laura blinked in embarrassment.

Josh was shocked too, but he was innocent because he didn’t even go near the bottled water. Also, Chase has been nervous and upset with such trivial matters throughout the filming period. Josh was relieved to think of things like this, but on the other hand, he couldn’t help but be surprised. While watching silently, Laura spoke hastily.

“I’m sorry what happened … I’ll watch and be careful from now on. One of the staff is omega, but they made it clear that she wasn’t involved in any of Mr. Miller’s articles, but how could she …? ” Frustrated, she ran after Chase, who was walking recklessly with a larger step than usual, as if he was angry. “I’m sorry, Mr. Miller, but I’d like you to review this.”

Chase glared at her and unexpectedly met Josh’s eyes. Josh smiled habitually. But Chase turned, completely ignoring him with a blank face. Josh scratched his head, embarrassed by the cold response. Just in time, the passing staff smiled and greeted him, and he too responded with laughter. He immediately returned his gaze to Chase, but kept looking forward and walking.

Since that day, they have never had a proper eye contact, much less a conversation. Josh took it for granted. What happened in the garden that day was just to laugh at himself, and I think it’s natural to feel bitterness in a corner of my heart.

Almost ten days have passed. Filming has started and Josh is somewhat used to his black hair. The movie was originally a novel that has been around for over a decade. There were so many fans that it was going to be made into a movie for the first time. It was a great sensation, but it was only after it became known that Chase would play the role of Dr. Plame. His role was an antihero throughout the series. He was a very attractive character in front of the main character, so there were not a few fans, but the problem was that the fans were very dramatic. Until photos of his dyed black hair were posted, they held hands and yelled, <No to Chase Miller!> It just didn’t fit. Later, when Dr. Plame’s photo was released, they yelled again: <No, Chase Miller!> It looks good on him, but it doesn’t. The motive changed from time to time, but the conclusion was the same. Anyway, people hate others for their own reasons.

There have been as many anti-fans as there have been many fans so far. The controversy was fully anticipated and the fire spread from the production company, to Keith Pittman, who assigned the role. Of course, Pittman didn’t even lift a finger. And the filming finally started. Josh believed that all the controversy would disappear once the film was released. There weren’t many scenes of him in the movie, but passing by one side of the screen was enough. Furthermore, when he spoke, even the staff listened attentively without breath. He was Dr. Plame at the time, obviously.
