Tae couldn't believe his eyes until he read it twice.

Tae did not speak after finding his name under the cast and crew of the movie. Instead, immediately rang In Ha's number. 

"Thank you so much In Ha! I read the movie column. Trust me, it made my day! Not just that I was mentioned as a script writer, but as a PO-ET!"

In Ha chuckled when he pronounced PO-ET, each syllable so clearly and loudly. 

"I knew it'd make you happy" she said.

After Tae hung up, his father asked, "Is the next movie's shooting commencing next week?" 

Tae couldn't voice out, amazed that his father enquired about his work for the first time. He just nodded while smiling.


The next few days passed with Tae working on the script and helping So Ra practice at her house. After the shooting began, they stopped meeting.



Three weeks later at SK Productions


"Hey!!" So Ra called out to Tae when she encountered him at the entrance. He looked at her curiously.

 "I was going to meet you. Actually, there's a way you can enter into the set" 

"Oh...But why do I have to?"

"Look, I'll ask the Director if you can perform a role. That's a better way of growing in the industry faster. And also an easier way of catching attention of the staff members"

"But-"

"I know you've never acted before. But the way you explained me how to express the dialogues earlier, proves you can act."

"Hmm...I'll try. Thanks for the help"

"Never mind"


After a while, Hoseok came to call Tae for the shooting. "You are assigned the character who captures So Ra. And is later killed by Jin" he explained. Tae bit his lips upon hearing his last sentence.

Director Bo asked the members to assemble behind the building where they'd prepared the film set. Tae was amazed at the artificial built-up made. It appeared like a real war zone. 

He was provided his clothing. 

"How can someone look good in every dress!?" a worker whispered to her colleague when Tae put on the army suit. The makeup artist applied to him a black powder to show bruises.

"It's hard to mess up such a beautiful face, right?" she flirtishly commented at him. Tae always hated how girls talked to him only due to his looks. 

After he walked to the field with a revolver, Jin approached him holding a sniper. "Savor getting defeated at my hands, dear brother. Even if its only a pretense, I'd love to watch you fall" he sounded sadistic. Tae couldn't dare to talk back inside the campus.


Before starting the rehearsal, Director Bo briefed "I'll repeat again. The scene goes like; during the war between North and South Korea, So Ra who belongs to the South army will be captured by Taehyung who belongs to the enemy side. I hope you all know the rest of the script"
