마흔 여덟

HoSeok

I looked out of the tent that I am standing and the stylist and hairstylist all came to me for a final touch-up before I would actually go out into the rain and shoot my scene, it is supposed to be shot on a clear day but it happens to rain for the past hour and it doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon. I don't know if it is because of the little news that I read today that has somehow affected today's shoot, it predicted that today would be a slightly unlucky day and I would have to try to avoid it in fear that more bad luck would come into my way.

I am not really the type to believe in such things but I am starting to believe that today is really a bad day, although the traffic is not so congested as the other days, my day has not been exactly great, I stubbed on my toe as soon as I got out of the bed, I realize that I ran out of my toothpaste in my room and I had to borrow Suga Hyung's and I didn't forget to leave a note telling that I ran out of my own supply of toothpaste and had to borrow a bit of his.

After that, I realize that there wasn't any coffee powder in our apartment and SeokJin hyung was the last one who finished but I forgave him because he is the director of my drama and there is going to be food and drinks later at the set itself. And now the weather is making trouble for everyone on set, because of the rain, nothing is going smoothly and there is a possibility that the shoot would have to get pushed back if it continues to rain for the entire day.

That is why I suggested to SeokJin hyung that we should carry on with the shoot in this horrible weather, it is a sudden thing but we can't let everyone on set not do anything at all, that would be very bad for the production because they would be wasting an entire day of shoot not doing anything and they would have to spend money even if they can't do anything.

And SeokJin hyung agreed to it after much hesitation and permission from Wendy who is the main scriptwriter for this drama because it might affect the entire storyline if we were to shoot this scene on a rainy day and that would affect the rest of the scenes after this but she said that she would try to add in one or two more scenes after this to make some sense in the storyline.

But at least Wendy would most likely to be holding onto an umbrella because she is the one on top in this scene and Jung SooJung and I lost to her in this scene, she recently recovered from a cold and I wouldn't want her to catch a cold again, it is not good for her health and her well-being. And I had reassured her over and over again that I won't fall sick just because I am going to be in the rain for at least 2 hours, I have a rather strong immune system and I usually don't get sick often so the rain wouldn't affect me as much as others.

I looked at Jung SooJung and she looked quite worried, she is the other person who is going to be soaked in the rain along with me and I think that she isn't really keen on getting wet in the rain because it would destroy her hair and her clothes as well, they will still dry after some time and she would get wrapped in her towel every time the camera stops rolling, it is not going to be a huge problem for her.

"We can still call off the shooting if you are not keen to shoot the scene in this weather, we can still come another day," I told her.

She shook my head. "It is okay, I am just worried that my stylist would have a hard time trying to reset my looks every time in order to look the same every single time and it is going to be a tough job for them to do and I feel bad that they have to do that just for me."

"Well, it is a rain scene, it wouldn't matter for them to take care of your appearance when it is hard for them to do for every single take. But since you are an actress and a beautiful one at that, they would do everything just to make you feel okay." I gave her a slight smile and I got into the rain, it is a little heavy but it doesn't seem like it is going to stop anytime soon.

It is a lot heavier of rain that I have been expected and it hurts a little bit when it pelts on my skin but it is bearable for me to handle such a weather, it is not like I am going to melt the longer I get soaked in the rain. The shooting went smoothly with the rain still pouring as if the clouds have a lot to cry about which explains the never-ending rain, I somehow managed to end each shot in one try which I don't have a lot of confidence in pulling that off but it somehow made me feel a little confident that I am starting to really improve in my acting.

I looked towards Wendy who is still perfectly dry because she was holding an umbrella the entire scene and I feel a little jealous that she is being the bad guy in here and she doesn't get soaked in the rain while I am acting as the good guy and I am getting soaked in the rain, it sucks to be the good guy sometimes but I am really just happy that I get to be in the same scene as Wendy and to act alongside her.

She comes to me after the major shots and she wanted to shelter me with the umbrella but I am already wet but I stopped her. "I am already wet and the umbrella doesn't serve much of a purpose for me, you use it to protect yourself from the rain," I told her.

"I told you that you don't really need to get into the rain just to shoot one scene, we could have gotten off work early if not for your suggestion, Mr Jung HoSeok. Thanks for always being so professional when it is not in your favour." She said to me. "It is all because of that stupid prediction thingy that predicted today is a very unlucky day, shouldn't the start of the month be a good one?"

"You read that one from that dubious post? It is ridiculous but it is starting to become true the more that I think about it but I think that it is just a coincidence that things happened the way it happened, it is nothing to do with today." I told her, as long as we are in this together, nothing stands our way.

She scoffed but she smiled at the same time. "Geez, I always hate the way that you are so positive about everything and I love that part of you at the same time. You just know how to find a way to every problem right?"
