episode_0094
by adminEveryone is focused on ‘Sword’ now.
‘Sword’ was also diligently racing towards its climax.
─Shwoooooosh─
The wind blowing through the forest was more chilling than ever, and Master Wi Ji-hye and her disciple Ha-ryeong stood facing each other, their swords gripped tightly. Ha-ryeong, in particular, was covered in blood.
“Huff…. Huff….”
The disciple hates the master who won’t teach her.
At this moment, the audience also somewhat empathized. Wi Ji-hye seemed particularly cold towards Ha-ryeong. Why won’t she pass on her martial arts skills?
Eventually, Ha-ryeong seized the secret manual under the cover of night.
She knew it was a manual that only Wi Ji-hye could handle, but she didn’t care. She has no choice. Since her master isn’t keeping her promise, she has no choice but to learn on her own, right?
Even if it means breaking the rules.
The secret manual was a shadow.
─Kill…. Steal….
A small but deep shadow that kept whispering to Ha-ryeong.
That was the result now.
Seo Yeon-ju and Lee Soo-ah slowly raised their lowered swords and focused on each other. The two were skilled sword fighters. At that moment, both sides realized it simultaneously.
The outcome will be decided in the next exchange.
Ha-ryeong drew out everything she had.
And the next moment.
.
.
.
.
.
The venue was completely silent.
“…”
Everyone was hesitant to speak rashly, and among them was an influencer who was stroking their arm. It was because the lingering impression of ‘Sword’s ending was still there.
“I expected it, but I wondered if it would really happen….”
“Ah, it’s a little creepy.”
They expressed their impressions a long time later.
“Wi Ji-hye ultimately cherished Ha-ryeong the most, right?”
“That’s right. It’s just that that was the only way to teach her.”
Wi Ji-hye met her death in Ha-ryeong’s final strike.
However, what moved the audience was the conversation the two masters and disciples had afterward, their bodies intertwined as if embracing each other, penetrated by the sword. The moment the truth is revealed is so thrilling.
“Wow, Seo Yeon-ju cried and begged, admitting she was wrong, it was really….”
“Ugh, Wi Ji-hye’s words were even more chilling to me.”
“Look.”
“Your heart is finally balanced.”
Ha-ryeong, the dullest of the dull.
She couldn’t raise her level through orthodox methods, and even in that situation, Ha-ryeong’s desire was desperate.
Therefore, Wi Ji-hye decided.
To become the backbone for her disciple.
Even if it meant giving up all the flesh on her body, she wanted her disciple to develop.
Hatred as a trigger, this is the black side.
The guilt of killing her master, this is the white side.
Taegeuk.
Ha-ryeong’s heart achieved taegeuk, natural order, and harmony.
It was a flower that grew by drinking the blood of her master.
“…”
Everyone fell deeply in love with Wi Ji-hye.
When Wi Ji-hye’s face was shown near the last scene, it was the most poignant scene in the eyes of the audience. It was an emotional line that could never be seen in other short films.
Therefore, the admiration for ‘Sword.’
Soon led to admiration for Soo-ah.
“It’s a face I’ve never seen before, where was she hiding?”
“That’s what I’m saying. How did she make that expression at the end? It’s both proud and poignant, but different from maternal love. Only the affection as a master in such detail….”
“The actress’s name is Lee Soo-ah. It’s the first time I’ve heard of her.”
And the admiration for Soo-ah led to curiosity.
It was a natural progression. A wolf suddenly appeared in this industry that was no different from the animal kingdom.
But then.
“It’s probably the first time you’ve seen her, so don’t try too hard to remember. Soo-ah-ssi is a talented person who came from overseas in the first place.”
Director Go Tae-min said calmly.
“She’s not just good at acting. It seems like she’s equipped with English, and she even has deep musical knowledge. No, since she’s an overseas Korean, I should express it as she’s equipped with Korean, right?”
Overseas Korean.
It was only three words, but the surrounding attention was certain.
“Did Director Go Tae-min already discover her?”
“Is she not even a Korean citizen?”
“Are you two acquainted?”
Questions poured out all at once, more than he could handle, and Director Go Tae-min slowly shook his head and answered.
“Actually, only she would know. I can only speak about what I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears.”
Of course, this was a misunderstanding that the person in question would be surprised to hear, but the speaker was none other than the master Go Tae-min. It was a natural progression for the misunderstanding of Soo-ah to slowly spread around.
The screening of ‘Sword’ ended like that for now.
◈◈◈◈◈
A week later.
The screening schedule of the ‘Busan International Short Film Festival,’ which had received an unprecedented amount of investment, came to an end. Now, only one thing remained. Only the award remained to find its owner.
In other words, today is the awards ceremony.
Busan.
Fortunately, the weather was better than ever, and thanks to that, they decided to build a large set and hold the event rather than renting a building. They said it’s nice to be able to feel the sea breeze.
And currently, the people who gathered here first have no time to rest.
That’s how the industry is. It’s hard enough to just ask how they’re doing.
“Oh? Seo-jeong-ssi! Are you busy these days filming?”
“I mean, this is my job. Section Chief, you’ve lost a lot of weight? Have you been having a hard time these days?”
“Don’t even mention it, I only get to sleep three hours a day and I’m not myself. I feel like I’d have no regrets if you did your next project with us, how about it? Of course, I’m just kidding.”
Invited actors, industry officials, and luxurious outdoor seats were gradually finding their owners. In the meantime, Lee Geum-sook, the writer of Special Mobile Unit 808, also appeared.
“Who is this! Writer Lee!”
“Oh my, it’s been a while.”
“I thought Writer Lee was dead because she hasn’t been active these days? What, are you going to produce something you’ve been leaving in a state of practice?”
“Production is already done.”
“Really? Can I look forward to it?”
“Of course. I have a secret weapon.”
However, this is only what’s happening inside the luxuriously prepared area.
To reach this place, you had to pass through a road lined up in a straight line, and on both sides of the road, reporters with cameras were waiting like hyenas.
What would happen was obvious.
Every time someone passed by, there was a flash of light.
Flash!
Those who passed through the straightly shaped road stopped in a space where the name of the ‘Busan International Short Film Festival’ was engraved like a puzzle and took pictures in their respective poses. Professionally. Quickly.
And finally.
Clunk!
The vehicle Mystic was in arrived.
Strictly speaking, the ‘Sword’ production team had arrived, but Lee Soo-ah, Seo Yeon-ju, CEO Kim Seon-il, CEO Kim I-seo, and Director Park Joon…. It looked like Director Park Joon was mixed in with Mystic.
All five of them put a lot of effort into their appearance.
Soo-ah was wearing a black dress today. Not a dress that flutters a lot, but a very neat suit dress.
Thanks to that, she looked much colder than usual, but she didn’t know it. In fact, she didn’t have time to think about it because she was thinking that her butt was a little tight.
‘Ah, if I walk too far, the butt part will probably rip.’
That was what Soo-ah thought with a cold sweat on her forehead.
Is this how dresses are supposed to be, with the butt part constricting? On the other hand, she was worried. This is a pretty tight suit dress, will it look weird when viewed from behind?
Of course, her worries about her butt soon disappeared.
‘…Huh? Crazy?’
That’s because there were so many people!
The straight road stretching out in front of her, that was fine.
But seeing the reporters lined up on both sides with cameras, she felt breathless. Is this right?
‘How do I get through this? Can I do it?’
It was a different threat than the cameras on the set. Because it meant that no gaps in her gait were allowed.
On the one hand, she was excited.
‘Come to think of it, I’ve dreamed of moments like this. Me dressed up nicely, and reporters waiting only for me, me raising my chin and passing by with a cool walk….’
But then.
“Soo-ah.”
Seo Yeon-ju playfully put her hand on Soo-ah’s shoulder.
“I know how you feel.”
“Huh?”
Gasp. Was it obvious that I was nervous?
“So this isn’t enough for you after all?”
“Huh?”
“It’s really small compared to a large film festival or an end-of-year awards ceremony. But what can we do? Soo-ah is still a rookie. Let’s think of it as one of the steps you’re taking. Relax your expression.”
“…”
No? I was thinking that this is the moment in my life that I can achieve enlightenment without any regrets? You think this is small?
Soo-ah thought.
Could she have a very big heart in that small chest? Seo Yeon-ju had no idea that she was thinking of hitting her ten times on the head, and she was worrying at that time.
“Then let’s go.”
Kim Seon-il and Seo Yeon-ju started walking first, and Soo-ah started walking along with them. With her chest out and confidently. Soo-ah proud!
She had to, but it wasn’t easy.
Soo-ah shrinking….
Flashes of light exploding everywhere were also scary.
─What are all those things? It’s like assassins are signaling each other. It’s noisy, loud, and flashy….
─It might be similar to assassins. In that they have to give up their lives as actors the moment they show a gap. The group itself is closer to the Hao Clan, though.
While listening to the chatter of Yoo Han-soo-ah and Wi Ji-hye-soo-ah, who seemed to have become close, Soo-ah was walking weakly. Of course, it was weak from Soo-ah’s perspective. It looked threatening to others.
Fortunately, most of the attention was focused on the two people in front.
“Seo Yeon-ju-ssi! What made you participate in the short film?”
“Kim Seon-il-ssi! Please look over here once!”
“Are you both satisfied with the results this time?”
The biggest questions were two things.
What made Mystic jump into short films, and are Seo Yeon-ju and Kim Seon-il satisfied even though they only appeared in short films?
And at some point, when they had passed halfway.
Kim Seon-il and Seo Yeon-ju opened their mouths, but they didn’t make a sound.
However, they briefly stopped walking and put Soo-ah between the two of them. As if this was their answer.
As if to mean that Soo-ah is the reason they jumped into this and the satisfaction itself.
Afterward.
“Let’s go, Soo-ah. You keep your center.”
As if they had promised, the three of them started walking side by side.
“…”
Soo-ah was finally able to straighten her shoulders at the sight of Seo Yeon-ju and Kim Seon-il raising the corners of their mouths toward her.
Yes, it was okay to be a little nervous. Soo-ah was no longer alone.
“…!”
Soo-ah proud! Soo-ah confident!
The End
Thank you for loving Soo-ah all this time.
.

…It was so heartwarming that I thought that.
Soo-ah suddenly thought.
Just a moment ago, she felt like the credits of her life were rolling up, but in an instant, everything collapsed.
This is a disaster. I’m doomed. I want to die.
Soo-ah death.
‘How did this happen?’
Currently, Soo-ah was in front of the photo zone at the end of the road.
Soo-ah thought again.
‘Ah, how did this happen?’
It wasn’t obvious on the outside, but Soo-ah’s body, except for her face, was pouring out sweat like rain.
What’s the reason?
What else could it be! The butt of her suit dress ripped!
‘I’m going crazy. I got too excited at the end….’
What was the problem?
The butt part of her suit dress was too tight? No. Soo-ah was already aware of that. The fact that it ripped despite that meant that the cause was with her.
It’s because she got too excited at the end.
It couldn’t be helped. Seo Yeon-ju and Kim Seon-il were matching their pace next to her, so how could she not get excited? Anyway, that’s the result.
She had to accept it.
The butt part of Soo-ah’s dress was torn.
─This is the first time I’ve seen an actress with a ripped dress butt.
─I agree. Martial artists would rather die than endure the humiliation of only the butt part of their robes being torn.
─I’m sometimes curious. Why is it so big without any measures?
─That’s probably because the nutrients that should go to the brain….
Soo-ah pressed down on the two people in her heart. Firmly.
And then she racked her brain again.
‘What should I do?’
Fortunately, it ripped after she arrived at the photo zone and turned around.
In other words, she hasn’t been caught yet.
So, all she has to do is figure out how to disappear.
By crab-walking to the side? Or by running away quickly? No, everything is weird! What should I do?
But then.
While Soo-ah’s worries were still going on.
Flashes of light exploded from the front, and someone started walking towards this side.
It wasn’t a strange thing. Of course, there was someone who would enter next in Soo-ah’s order.
But who it was was the problem.
“…”
But Soo-ah swallowed hard.
“…”
It happened to be Yang Ha-rin.
Soon, Yang Ha-rin also found Soo-ah.
Click.
The two people faced each other.
Yang Ha-rin, who had stopped, gestured with her chin and said.
“Move.”
“…”
“I said move.”
