Chapter 20 – Fluttering (1)
While
filming for <Fluttering> was in full swing, Yoon Jay who had some free
time, headed to the meeting place for the first time in a long time.
"Yoon
Jay! Over here!"
When
he walked into the restaurant, Wings Company's bodyguards were already there,
and they made Yoon Jay sit in the very center seat.
"It's
been a while."
"You
here? Hey, isn't your face glowed up after you debuted?"
When
I heard those words, I touched my chin for no reason. Han Jin-woo, the manager,
had scheduled some treatments, including skincare and massage.
[Hyung,
you're already handsome, but it's better to get these things in advance. You
should get a massage so that you look good on camera.]
Maybe
it's because I've done some rough work before, so the effect was immediate.
After seeing the effect, Han Jin-woo immediately said, 'As expected of Jay
Hyung' and that he liked him better because of the results.
Now
that I think about it, I think he'd fit in well with Jung Seung-woo, surely
they will look like brothers.
"Anyway,
I asked the boss to fix the channel at number 11. It's going to be noisy, so I
asked the boss to accept customers later."
"Is
that okay?"
"It's
okay, I'm invested in this place."
For
some reason, there's no one near our table. Yoon Jay scans the restaurant and
makes eye contact with the boss.
"I've
heard a lot about you from Chul-woo. Can I have your autograph here......"
"Autograph......
Uh, wait a minute."
He
paused, and it was the people around him who were surprised.
"What,
you don't have an autograph yet?"
"Let's
make one now. It's only cool if it's scrawled."
"So,
Park Seo-ah, do you think she's pretty?"
"Hyung,
did you see any celebrities?"
"Do
you think Jay would tell you that? Don't make a fuss and stay still."
Park
Chul-woo stopped the remarks that crossed the line. Still, Yoon Jay didn't
expect them to gather and congratulate him on his debut. Yoon Jay smiled
broadly.
"Here
we go!"
"Everyone
be quiet."
After
a long commercial break, episode 1 of <Fluttering> finally started.
The
filming went well, but how would it look on the air? Yoon Jay also fixed his
eyes on the TV in anticipation.
The
first scene showed the situation before Jung Yeonhwa's regression.
(What's
all the commotion outside?)
(Keugh!)
(His
Excellency! Hide!)
Grand
Prince Muhwi, Lee Hwi, started the rebellion.
His
troops raid the houses of the ministers who have sided with the Crown Prince,
and Lee Hwi himself leads a small army into the Palace.
(Clang!)
(Uaghh!)
The
camera pans across Lee Hwi's broad back in his black hanbok, then down to the
floor.
One
by one, people fall to the ground, Lee Hwi's stride quickening. The sword in
his hand drags slightly on the floor, and the viewers hear the eerie sound of
the blade. So does the blood that trickles out, forming a single red line.
"Is
that you?"
"Wow,
Hyung!"
"Look
at that."
A
few people booed at Choi Taeyang's impatient question. Yoon Jay didn't make it
easy.
(Yo-Your
Majesty!)
(What's
going on?)
The
screen flashed to another place for a moment. A retired lord, pensioned in a
remote location. His servant rushes to the door and announces the news.
(Yo-Your
Highness......!)
Wide-eyed,
Lee Gun rushes to the Palace on the horse his servant has brought with him.
The
drone camera gives the viewers a wide shot of the scene. The darkening sky and
the reeds swaying in the breeze seemed to represent Lee Gun's feelings.
Meanwhile,
Lee Hwi, who had organized the Palace, made his way to the king's bedchamber.
In front of the king's bedchamber, Yoo Myeongbin, Lee Hwi's reliable helper,
greeted him.
(You've
come. You're a little late.)
(......Mother.)
Yoo
Myeongbin was smiling proudly at her bloodied son.
Here,
Lee Hwi, as interpreted by Yoon Jay, was not pleased with his mother's smile;
he wanted a loving mother who wiped the blood from his face and asked if he was
hurt, not a mother who used her son for her own benefit.
(His
Majesty is inside.)
But
it doesn't matter now. The kindness that he hoped for can now be achieved.
As
Lee Hwi entered the bedchamber, the King, dressed in loose clothes, saw Lee Hwi
and his eyes widened.
His
topknot was loose and long strands of hair framed his face. Anyone can see that
he is not in his right mind.
(Wha-What
are you doing......!)
(Are
you asking me why?)
Since
he hadn't shown his face yet, he had to explain his feelings with his actions.
He tilted his head slightly, a gesture of surprise.
(Your
Majesty, you don't know why I would do something like this, right?)
Who
made me do this?
(Crown
Prince, Crown Prince......)
(Gun
won't come. His Majesty, you're the one who personally stripped him of his
status as Crown Prince.)
The
answer spat out with a sigh, sounded like an annoyance. Hearing his father,
Taryeong call the Crown Prince made Lee Hwi's ears prick. He didn't want to
talk anymore, so he added,
(Take
him to the Reincarnation Palace.)
(Let
me go! Crown Prince, call the Crown Prince!)
(Until
the end......)
You're
looking for him. A sense of desperation can be seen in the lamenting voice. The
subordinate who momentarily saw Lee Hwi's weak expression turned around and
went out, then came back in holding the king's red robe which he then draped
over Lee Hwi's shoulders.
The
dragon robe flutters gracefully in response to his gesture. The camera zooms in
on Lee Hwi's face, which is finally revealed.
The
sculpted face is shaded by the soft candlelight. The blood splattered on his
cheeks, his tightly closed mouth, and his slightly slitted eyes were set off by
the majestic background music.
"Whoaa!"
"Crazy,
who is that?"
"Da#n,
break the flow."
The
Yoon Jay they knew appeared. The bodyguard co-workers looked briefly at Lee
Hwi's face and Yoon Jay's face on the TV in brief admiration.
After
leaving the Palace, Lee Hwi headed straight for Jung Yeonhwa's house. Jung
Yeonhwa's house had already been tidied up by his subordinates.
Jung
Yeonhwa's family members lay bleeding on the floor, and his subordinates bowed
and retreated as he passed by.
(Ah,
Father...... Mother......)
(......Gahyeon.)
As
he headed a little deeper, he saw Jung Yeonhwa clutching the body of her family
and her beloved maid.
Lee
Hwi, who was leaning against the doorframe, watching the scene, smiling
crookedly. It's beautiful how she's grieving because of him.
His
bowed head turns to the side, and his eyes sparkle slightly from the candlelight
reflected in his pupils. That is not a CG.
[Here,
how about putting a candle in front of this place?]
It
was Yoon Jay's idea. After shooting it once, the Director didn't hesitate to
adopt the idea. The Director didn't hesitate to use it because it was a more
visual way to show the insanity of Lee Hwi.
Lee
Hwi watched his loved one suffer, then sheathed his sword and stepped in front
of Jung Yeonhwa.
(Finally.)
It
was a creepy single word, filled with many emotions, just as it had been
deciphered in the reading. A small shiver ran down her spine. Lee Hwi grasped
Jung Yeonhwa's chin and slowly lifted it.
(You're
in my hands.)
The
hand that holds the sword is also the hand that brings blood to Jung Yeonhwa's
face. The touch of his hand and his gaze are suffocating, and she closes her
eyes tightly. As a result, her tears fall beautifully. Lee Hwi's mouth twists
slightly.
(Aigoo,
aigoo...... Old man!)
T/N:
In the raw, it's 영감
(yeong-gam), means an old man. However, in ancient times, it was an official
calling name for government officials. I'm confused about what words are
suitable to use in that sentence. I mean, 'Government Official' sounds weird to
me. That's why I used the word 'Old man'.
(Wha-What
is this......)
The
night passed and the sun rose. Lee Gun, who arrived in the capital late, became
impatient due to the clutter of the city and the sound of someone wailing, so
he headed to Jung Yeonhwa's house.
(Yeonhwa......)
He
found a familiar face among the dead bodies lying around. With the dagger stuck
in Jung Yeonhwa's chest, she committed suicide before being dragged away by Lee
Hwi.
(Yeonhwa!)
Lee
Gun gropes Jung Yeonhwa's face and breathes heavily. Eventually, he clutches
the cold body and sobs.
The
light slowly leaks out from Lee Gun's sword decoration, illuminating the entire
screen.
"Wow......"
"It's
like a movie."
"Mr.
CEO, the meat is burnt."
"Uh,
order it again."
Then,
Jung Yeonhwa, who was regressing, woke up in her bed without knowing why. The
tension dissipates and finally, everyone picks up their chopsticks.
Jung
Seung-woo glanced at his phone. It was a community he knew from when he
appeared on Military Survival Show.
—
Fluttering makes me crazy!
—
Da#n, who is Grand Prince Muhwi?
—
Hey, crazy, highly stimulating.
—
What did I tell you? I told you it would be okay.
—
I was scared in the beginning, but now that I'm with Park Seo-ah, she's sexy as
hell.
—
The actor is Yoon Jay? Anyway, I'll sue him.
—
I immediately put him into my crush pile.
"Hyung
-nim, the reaction is no joke right now."
"Really?"
Yoon
Jay watched the screen with him, curiously observing people's reactions; he
couldn't see a reaction like this when he was young.
"Doesn't
this mean you can't go out freely anymore?"
"Maybe."
"Hey,
the drama is so good. Should we toast?"
Yoon
Jay stood up from his seat, unable to resist the urging to make a toast.
"Um,
thanks for the support."
"That's
it? For the success of our Wings Company’s best output, Yoon Jay!"
"Cheers!"
Choi
Taeyang added on behalf of Yoon Jay. Everyone clinked their glasses excitedly.
"Hey,
isn't best output too much?"
"Oops,
I forgot to add 'not including Mr. CEO'."
"Hahaha!"
While
everyone was eating and drinking happily, Jung Seung-woo asked a question.
"By
the way, Hyung -nim, you're pretty good at acting."
"It's
not my first time acting."
"Really?
You've done it before?"
Choi
Taeyang, who was eavesdropping, also looked at him.
Hmm,
should I tell them? As Yoon Jay pondered, he was startled by voices behind him
and turned around. These were people sitting at tables far away.
"Hey,
is that......"
"Yes,
that's the guy who was just on TV!"
Choi
Taeyang, who smiled at the cautious question, nudged Yoon Jay on the shoulder.
"I-I'm
a fan of the original work, and I just became your fan after watching the
drama."
"You're
so handsome!"
Yoon
Jay missed the time to speak about 'Yoon Jae-hee' because he was taking a
picture with them.
***
"Hyung,
I think we need to pick a name for your fandom."
"Already?"
"I
don't think you know what you're missing, but the whole point of being an otaku
is blood, sweat, and tears, so they're calling the office right now, asking
when your fan club is going to be created."
It's
a blessing to have people who like you unconditionally, Yoon Jay thought.
When
he was Yoon Jae-hee, even though people were cheering him on, it wasn't
noticeable. Instead, there were a lot of negative comments and anti-cafe about
him saying that he was just lucky, or they said they would wait and see him in
the next work.
Still,
Yoon Jay opened a new social media account and posted some pictures that Yoon
Dohwa had taken because she said it was good to post some...... Boyfriend
picture.
"The
viewership rating for the first episode is 6.3%, it's really good."
As
soon as Yoon Jay heard the ratings, he said that it was low, but then he heard
a voice.
"These
days, there are so many dramas that don't even get 1%, they're not even
counted, that kind of thing."
The
ratings he remembered were based on <All About First Love>, in which he
briefly appeared as a child actor. At that time, the viewership ratings started
with 20% as a standard. Maybe people don't watch dramas much these days.
"Hello."
"Jay
-ssi! Welcome."
With
a good start, the atmosphere on set naturally improved. The Writer, Im
Hyun-hee, was happy, and even the original creator posted positive things on
social media.
That's
a relief. The idea of using candles to light up the eyes was inspired by the
original work.
"Have
you started shooting yet?"
"Hyunjun
-ssi isn't here."
"......Again?"
"So,
for now, we're shooting something else."
Kim
Hyunjun was about 5 or 10 minutes late from the scheduled filming time, perhaps
because he was upset after seeing the first episode.
He
wasn't late for too long, just a little late, but everyone was cursing him.
Since it's a historical drama, so they still have to put on makeup, which takes
a long time.
"Jay
-ssi, did you know you got a nickname?"
"What
is it?"
"Joseon
Trash Playboy shortened to Jotsuba and Chemistry CPR......"
The
former is probably due to he was living a life of debauchery before he met Jung
Yeonhwa and he also frequently visits the gisaeng (courtesan) house after Jung
Yeonhwa's regression, and the latter is probably because he has more chemistry
with Park Seo-ah than with the male lead, Kim Hyunjun, in their first scene
together.
"That's
interesting."
Hearing
that with interest, Yoon Jay took off his clothes to put on makeup and then
opened his eyes sharply.
"Wait
a minute, Sunbae -nim. Don't you smell something burning?"
"What?
Are you practicing some lines?"
"Wait
a minute."
Yoon
Jay walked briskly to the suspected source. His feeling is not good.
