Chapter 21 – Fluttering (2)
—
Is the original work of Fluttering also fun? Is there a large proportion of Grand
Prince Muhwi?
—
Wow, Yoon Jay. He's a former bodyguard, right? He's good at action.
—
The audience rating is good. As long as they don't ruin it in the middle, I
think the rating can be up to 20% in the last episode, right?
—
Honestly, I think the chemistry is stronger on the supporting character side.
Astra's
Kwak Dohyun looked at his cell phone.
The
ratings for <Fluttering> were rising steadily, not falling, and those who
were worried about the rookie were praising Yoon Jay's performance as they always
have.
The
industry had also realized that he was on a roll, and he had already received
quite a few offers for commercials and photo shoots.
'I'm
surprised. I can't believe he got this kind of response on his first released
work.'
Even
if he's immediately cast as a supporting character rather than a stair-step
process, being able to accept it well is also an ability. Kwak Dohyun felt this
way once when he was casting an actor who was about to become a rising star.
"Dohyun."
"Uhm?
Shim Jae-wook."
The
person who called him was the head of Kim Hyunjun's agency, the lead actor of
<Fluttering>. The complexion of the person called Shim Jae-wook was not
very good.
"You
went to another meeting, didn't you?"
"I'm
dying. Why is he so da#n late?"
It's
a drama with a tight deadline, but we keep getting late, so the Director is
called into a meeting to sort things out. It is said that there is even talk of
shooting Kim Hyunjun over several days.
"But
why is he so late? Is he not feeling well?"
"I
don't know. I heard from his manager that he's really into vlogging
lately."
"Huh,
I guess that’s not the reason."
"He's
not passionate about acting. He's not an actor, he's a celebrity, and that's
all he wants to be these days."
Kwak
Dohyun heard that some actors were scheduled for double or triple shooting and
were late on the set because of things like MyTube or SNS, which caused a
nuisance.
Kwak
Dohyun was about to say that the lead actor was doing what such a supporting
actor would do, but he stopped himself. He's having a hard time, too. Even
though, our actors don't do this.
"What
about your actor? He's good."
"I
don't know, we just started."
Kwak
Dohyun gave it a shot.
"He's
not picky, good, sincere, clean, no bad habits."
"Wow,
you met a unicorn. But you don't know when that attitude will appear, right?
The response is good now."
"Well......"
He
remembered Yoon Jay. He doesn't seem to be the kind of person who would change
his attitude just because he's popular.
He
wakes up at dawn and exercises regularly. He only posts a few photos on social
media for his fans and spends the rest of his time at home watching dramas and
movies to improve his acting.
Although
he has an acquaintance, he only sees his former bodyguard co-workers briefly
and spends time with his family. His lifestyle hasn't changed, even when he's
in a remote location.
"Oh,
Jin-woo, what's going on? The shooting has stopped? Why?"
After
parting ways with Shim Jae-wook and getting into his car, Kwak Dohyun received
a call from Jin-woo.
"Jay
-ssi is in the hospital?!"
***
"Why
didn't they start shooting?"
"Hyunjun
again."
"Argh,
I can't leave right away today."
"I'm
so busy that I'm going to die."
They
smoked cigarettes while chewing on Kim Hyunjun, who was late on the set.
"Let's
go inside."
Then,
a cigarette tossed by one of them flickered dangerously.
"Where
are you going?"
Im
Soo-ah, the supporting actress who played as Jung Yeonhwa's maid, Gahyeon in
<Fluttering> became anxious and followed Yoon Jay. The smell of something
burning... Because it's a historical drama set, so there are only wooden
buildings, and there are only mountains around.
'Is
it this way?'
Yoon
Jay opened the door to the outside, and the heat was blistering. He reflexively
wrapped his arms around Im Soo-ah and stepped back.
"......Kyaa!"
"Evacuate
far away. Please call 119 as well."
"Ye-Yes!"
Pausing
for a moment, Yoon Jay calmly looked at the flames. Im Soo-ah shouted as she
walked outside.
"There's
a fire!"
"Get
out!"
"Evacuate!"
In
the meantime, Yoon Jay found the cause of the fire. If he didn't take action,
the fire could spread to a bigger accident.
'It
doesn't seem to be an electric or gas fire......'
In
the chaotic scene, manager Han Jin-woo spotted Yoon Jay and grabbed his
shoulder. While everyone else is evacuating, this guy is in danger alone!
"Jay
Hyung, what are you doing here!?"
"Jin-woo,
you have something else to do."
"What?"
"I
left a fire extinguisher in the car, go get it, see if anyone else has one, and
bring them all here."
"Ye-Yes!
But, Hyung......!"
What
are you going to do? He couldn't say that. Han Jin-woo felt like he had to do
what Yoon Jay said, so he ran to do what he said.
When
on earth did he leave these in the car? There are even two of them. Panting,
Han Jin-woo handed him the fire extinguisher, but his shoulder was grabbed by
Yoon Jay again.
"Hyung,
here!"
"Evacuate
the people. Make sure they do a head count."
"M-Me?"
"I'll
do it!"
Park
Seo-ah interrupted, she was the main actress so her words would be more likely
to be heard than Han Jin-woo, who was just a manager. Nodding, Yoon Jay
immediately grabbed a fire extinguisher and started to put out the fire.
'The
wind is not good.'
Since
<Fluttering> is a drama with a fantasy twist, the team added many devices
to the set. There were metal models and wooden buildings. So there was a lot of
garbage, which happened to be flammable.
The
problem is that the wind direction and intensity are really bad. At this rate,
it could spread to the whole neighborhood.
"Are
there any more fire extinguishers?"
"Here!
Here!"
A
staff member who had brought a fire extinguisher from elsewhere handed it to
Han Jin-woo.
Yoon
Jay took it and was about to go back into the fire. The people gathered in
teams for a headcount, but no one was there.
"Wait,
wasn't there someone else? My makeup artist......"
"What?"
"Uhuk,
hey! Where's Park Minji?!"
"I-I
don't know!"
As
soon as Yoon Jay heard that, he ran inside.
Park
Minji from the makeup team was listening to music in a secluded place, taking
advantage of the short break. It was a spot she had reserved for herself since
the shooting started later than the scheduled time these days.
"Oh,
no......!"
As
she dozed off to the music, she smelled something burning and woke up to find
flames everywhere.
"Uhuk,
uhuk...... Is anyone out there?! Help!"
She
tried to open the door, but it was scorching hot and only burned her hands. She
kept banging on the wall and screaming as she lost consciousness.
"Park
Minji -ssi!"
"Here,
here!"
Bang!
Yoon
Jay kicked at the source of the sound, causing the door to rip open, and helped
Park Minji to her feet.
"Put
your arm around my shoulder."
"Tha-Thank
you."
On
the way out, Park Minji, who was gradually regaining her senses, looked at Yoon
Jay in surprise.
"Don't
you have any more fire extinguishers?!"
"Water,
at least water!"
After
sending Park Minji outside, Yoon Jay took the initiative to spray the fire
extinguisher. The staff didn't stand still either. They ran around, looking for
fire extinguishers.
While
he was trying to extinguish the fire in a trance, water was falling from all
directions and someone touched his shoulder. Firefighters who responded to the
report were spraying water.
"Sir,
we've got it now."
"Whoaa......"
"Hyung,
Hyung!"
Yoon
Jay relaxed and sank to the ground. Han Jin-woo rushed over and helped him up.
Since
it was near a mountain, many firefighters responded. The fire, which seemed
unstoppable, was almost extinguished.
'It
could have been a big problem.'
The
Captain of the Fire Brigade Unit glanced at Yoon Jay, who was still hesitating
and unable to let go of the fire extinguisher even though the fire had been
partially extinguished.
'If
it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have been able to......'
He
looked at what his fellow firefighter had brought and frowned.
"Who's
in charge?"
"Here."
A
production company employee, the Director, and the head of production stepped
forward. The Captain held out something charred.
"Who
thoughtlessly discarded a cigarette butt?"
"Oh......
My God."
"What
kind of person has no common sense like this......!"
Everyone's
jaws dropped. Obviously, it's crew negligence. They already wondering how
they're going to clean this up.
The
Captain pointed to Yoon Jay, who was sitting in the ambulance, wrapped in a
blanket.
"It's
a good thing he did a good job of extinguishing the fire, or it could have
turned into a forest fire."
"Whoa......"
It
was impressive to see him calmly leading the way, even after people told him it
was dangerous because of the wind. Some staff members even clapped their hands
in admiration.
The
Director and the head of the production rushed over to Yoon Jay.
"Are
you okay? Let's go to the hospital first, just in case."
"I'm
fine."
"Jay
-ssi. Hurry up and go. We can't shoot today anyway, we'll be going to the hospital
soon too."
Reluctantly,
the Captain followed him into the ambulance. He had something he wanted to ask.
"Do
you want some water?"
"Yes."
"That
was a perfect response. I'm sure you'll get a commendation."
"I
don't have to get one......"
"You
should get it because you did a good job, but have you ever taken any training?
You seem to be very good at it."
"Before......"
Yoon
Jay frowned for a moment. He heard tinnitus and thought he could hear someone
screaming.
"I
used to work as a firefighter."
"Oh,
really?"
"In
Los Angeles......"
Yoon
Jay didn't finish his sentence. His hands were trembling slightly. From the
looks of it, he didn't seem to be injured......
'Come
to think of it, he didn't let go of the fire extinguisher earlier.'
The
Captain was sure it was a psychological problem. He patted Yoon Jay on the
shoulder.
"Fire
takes away so many things."
"......I
know."
***
"Chief,
here."
"How's
he doing, is he okay?"
"He's
fine, he didn't even breathe much smoke......"
Kwak
Dohyun finally relaxed and let out a big breath.
He
was surprised that Yoon Jay was suddenly in a hospital, but to make matters
worse, there was an article on the internet saying that there was a fire on the
set of <Fluttering> and someone was taken away in an ambulance. There was
an article like that.
"The
article says a staff member is in critical condition, what about that staff, is
she fine?"
"I
don't know yet, but she looked fine when Hyung got her."
"Wow......
Did something like that happen?"
"Yeah.
I mean, it was like, totally Superman. It was a big deal."
Han
Jin-woo jerked a thumbs up.
"At
least I saw the video of him putting out the fire. Even though I don't know
anything, I still thought it was no joke."
"Is
it already on social media?"
Kwak
Dohyun didn't answer but showed his screen phone. It was probably taken by a
staff member who had evacuated beforehand.
Grand
Prince Muhwi put out the fire.
#AlmostGotIntoBigTrouble
#luckily_all_is_well #thank_my_actor #DramaProduction #DramaStaff
Han
Jin-woo, who had felt the urgency of the scene, twisted his lips. What a shame,
to post something like this when someone was injured. Still, it's nice to see
Hyung in action, but......
Yoon
Jay, who had been sitting on the bed listening, looked at his hands, which were
no longer shaking. It was crazy earlier, but as time went by, it got better.
"What
is it? Why are you so good?"
"I
worked as a firefighter before I came to Korea."
"Really?
Why didn't you say that?"
"Because
it’s not really something to brag about."
It's
indeed a respected job, but I didn't want to be famous outside of acting even
though I didn't start acting properly.
Kwak
Dohyun, who roughly grasped the intention, nodded for now. He also had no
intention of prematurely making unpleasing comments.
"I
mean, indeed that's not something to brag about. Anyway, you're really feeling
fine, right?"
"Yes."
"Oh,
that's a relief. Do you want to be hospitalized for a day?"
"No,
the hospital is stuffy. What will happen with the filming?"
"Well......"
Kwak
Dohyun looked at the production team that was seriously discussing outside. The
drama is riding well right now, but it won't suddenly cut off, right?
