by adminAfter finishing her Kim Yu-han makeup, Sua went straight to the sound team.
‘What exactly does the sound team do?’
Sound team? What’s that!
Sua didn’t even know such people existed, and she didn’t pay much attention even after becoming an actress. But now the situation is different. She’s cultivating her ‘Musician’ trait, after all.
‘You never know. I might be able to confirm my achievement.’
Shortly after that.
After visiting the sound team.
Sua first quietly observed the situation.
“About this background music, isn’t it too cliché? It suddenly feels like an old-fashioned horror movie. Just take it out.”
“You shouldn’t handle the synth like that.”
“I don’t understand. We’re sound, to begin with. We shouldn’t be greedy, you know? The music’s presence is too strong.”
The atmosphere was tense.
Most of the sound team members were frowning as if frustrated, and the words exchanged weren’t pleasant either. Even Sua could feel that something was blocked.
But soon, Sua stopped paying attention to other things.
─♩♪♬
The background music playing.
That was the only thing that bothered her ears.
‘I don’t like listening to it. Why is it so irritating?’
Sua frowned without realizing it.
‘Should I say something?’
Suddenly, that impulse rose, but she soon shook her head. Just as actors have their work, the sound team has their own work. I shouldn’t interfere.
But how much time had passed?
‘….’
Eventually, Sua’s patience ran out.
‘Is this what it feels like to have mysophobia? Ugh, I can’t stand it.’
She had to admit it.
Her ears no longer tolerated noise.
.

.
.
.
And currently.
“….”
Sua confidently raised her chin. Sua proud.
“Huh, what?”
“Kim Yu-han…? Sua-ssi…?”
“Huh?”
The entire sound team’s eyes widened.
It was only natural for them. The fact that an outsider was giving advice to the sound team was surprising in itself, but the outsider’s identity was none other than Sua. They hadn’t anticipated any of this.
Sua unleashed a flurry of moves. Sua arrogant.
Maintaining her raised chin and even crossing her arms.
‘…?’
But soon, Sua arrogant was deactivated. She didn’t know why, but she was surprised because everyone suddenly started staring at Sua’s chest.
─♩♪♬
Anyway, the background music sample continued to play.
Sua soon came up with another idea and said,
“Um, the running time is longer than I thought. It’s not enough to fill the scene with just this sample. Let’s do one more.”
Then, the sound team employee, greatly surprised, took the headset that had only one ear uncovered and hung it around his neck, asking back.
“You mean, we should make another background music…?”
“There’s no need to go to the trouble of making it.”
Sua shook her head.
“I think classical music would be enough. Feeling-wise, Bach’s Unaccompanied Cello Suites would be appropriate. You know, Prelude No. 1. Quietly.”
“…Classical music?”
“Yes. If the copyright fees are a burden, how about finding a similar classical piece with no touches and working on it with MIDI? The point is to create this kind of feeling.”
“No, I mean, classical music here?”
Sua finally understood. It seemed that he didn’t think a classical scene would suit this scene at all, rather than not understanding Sua’s words.
“It’s natural. From the killer’s point of view, this is the moment he feels the most stable. The victim is just an instrument to him. It needs to be quiet.”
“Ah? Focus the background music on the killer’s perspective?”
The sound team employees finally looked surprised.
All along, they had been focusing on creating tense background music. Of course, they were trying to express the fear and desperation the victim was feeling.
But Sua talked about the perpetrator’s point of view.
She argued the opposite.
“It’s cliché to create the victim’s perspective with background music. In the first place, everyone can easily understand the victim’s emotions. It’s all about being scared and afraid.”
“Ah, that’s for sure….”
“But the perpetrator is not in his right mind. Ordinary people can’t sympathize. It would be good to express that.”
Sua’s advice was limited to that.
Afterward, the staff members expressed their bewildered feelings without reserve.
“Sua-ssi, have you ever studied anything related to sound? You seem more skilled than us?”
“It’s not just the level of studying, have you ever had experience working on it? It seems like you know how to handle this program itself…. When did you learn…?”
“Right. A program worth several million won.”
“No way. No way….”
Sua quietly crossed her arms and nodded.
‘Applaud. Praise.’
Uh-huh. Sua proud.
Sua suddenly recalled the story of the arctic fox in *The Little Prince*. The arctic fox, with its looks and all sorts of abilities, eventually lived happily with the prince.
…Of course, Sua had never actually read *The Little Prince*. She knows about the boa constrictor swallowing the elephant. Anyway, doesn’t the fox come out after that? I don’t really know!
‘Who cares? Anyway, it’s awesome. My ability.’
She couldn’t help but feel proud. It was the moment she realized that her ‘Musician’ trait was working wonderfully.
However.
Currently, it wasn’t just the sound team employees who were surprised.
The skinny director Go Tae-min quietly stroked his chin.
‘…Not only acting, but did she also have musical knowledge?’
This wasn’t just director Go Tae-min’s surprise. The same was true for the “Crescendo From Tomorrow” production team attached nearby and some of the actors who were wandering around.
They also had a lot to whisper about busily.
“That music editing program, isn’t it in English? There’s no Korean version.”
“Does that mean she’s good at foreign languages?”
Of course, this was a huge misunderstanding. Sua didn’t know English. It’s just that among the music scripts she experienced, there were roles that used that program….
But Sua couldn’t explain. They were whispering in voices that only they could hear.
“As expected, she’s from overseas.”
“What do you mean ‘as expected’? Did you already know?”
“No? But it looks like it, doesn’t it? The estimate.”
“…I see. She’s learning a lot because her goal is to advance overseas! And now she’s filming 808 in Korea for a while because of some circumstances! If you think about it this way, it fits perfectly!”
Sua was still narrowing her eyes and focusing only on the background music. Because, whenever she listened to Bach’s Unaccompanied Cello Suites, she felt comfortable.
With Sua at the center like the eye of a typhoon, misunderstandings were growing more and more on all sides.
Kim Iseo, who belatedly chased after Sua, was also the same.
‘…What’s going on here?’
Sua, who had finished her makeup, was running around so busily that Kim Iseo had no choice but to follow her. She was nervous that she might run into director Go Tae-min.
And now, Kim Iseo was also very surprised.
‘An expat? Sua-ssi was from overseas? That’s right. That’s why she requested the foreign language script in the original. How beneficial is this to Mystic?’
Kim Iseo tapped the calculator in her head.
‘A lot. It’s just incredibly beneficial.’
Soon, she felt joy.
Anyway, the conclusions they all reached were roughly similar.
‘We need to treat Sua better.’
‘I need to make a good impression on Sua-ssi.’
‘Amazing. Let’s at least get our faces known.’
Make a good impression on Sua. Definitely.
◈◈◈◈◈
Time flowed like water.
Finally, 15 minutes before the climax filming.
“…Wow, there are so many people.”
Someone at the scene muttered, and that was true.
Unlike usual filming, a very large crowd had gathered. They all looked like ordinary citizens, but it wasn’t that real citizens had come to watch.
They were all extras.
They were people who had gathered through part-time job postings, etc. They were currently dressed as ‘citizens’, and they were all going to be used as part of the climax filming.
Since most of them were people who came for part-time jobs, they were all fascinated by the filming set itself, but soon a being that stole their attention appeared.
It was Lee Sua.
“Wow, the atmosphere is no joke.”
“Girl? Boy? Ah, looking at the body, it’s a girl.”
“I overheard a little bit while doing makeup earlier, but she’s good at music in addition to acting.”
“Really? She’s such a talented person, but why does it feel like I’m seeing her for the first time? I’ve never seen her at all.”
“She came from overseas. When you think about it, masks like that aren’t common in Korea. Wow, but if this airs, she’ll have a lot of fans. Everyone’s already looking at her.”
Meanwhile, Sua.
Thump thump thump─
Her heart was beating fast.
She was a little nervous because there were suddenly so many people. She was just getting used to the people on the set, but why did a bunch of strangers suddenly appear! Why!
“….”
Thanks to Sua’s somewhat serious expression, Seo Yeon-ju, who had been looking for an opportunity to talk to her since earlier, was disappointed.
‘I wanted to ask if she really came from overseas, but it doesn’t seem like the right atmosphere to ask. I have to hold back even if I’m curious….’
Of course, it wasn’t just Seo Yeon-ju’s disappointment. The same was true for the other Special Task Force 808 actors.
It was then.
Suddenly, Hwang Myung-pil scratched his head and asked.
“Excuse me, Sua-ssi. Did you happen to come from overseas? Somehow, I thought your face was quite exotic.”
“Myung-pil sunbae-nim! What are you asking!”
Everyone was shocked and waited for Sua’s answer.
It was true that Hwang Myung-pil asked without tact, but everyone was curious anyway. But Sua didn’t have any special answer.
Well….
‘What’s with this sudden talk?’
She couldn’t answer because she couldn’t understand the question in the first place.
It was then.
Park Do-hee quickly pulled Hwang Myung-pil away.
“Myung-pil sunbae-nim, what are you doing. You’re bothering someone who’s busy before the climax filming…. Come here quickly….”
“No, you guys keep talking about overseas this and that in the back? If that’s the case, isn’t it better to just ask clearly in front? I’m curious too!”
“Us, we? When! We never did that, Sua-ssi!”
Sua remained unaware of the noisy squabble. If you stay still, you’re halfway there. Let’s stay still.
“I’m going to focus on the script.”
Sua pushed everyone away with a short word and unfolded the script.
“…Huh?”
And she was greatly embarrassed.
