Chapter Index



    Audition.



    Until the end of school, I stayed in the art room to learn the coloring skills I lacked.

    Following Korean, the next class was my homeroom teacher’s math teacher’s class, and when the teacher heard about the situation, he came to pick me up.

    “Si-yoon, I have to go.”

    “yes.”

    As I was about to leave because the painting was finished anyway, art teacher Ko Min-soo looked at the painting I drew without saying a word.

    Teacher Ko Min-soo, who I thought was an overwhelming talent, found out that I was not.

    When I got up from my seat, teacher Ko Min-soo came to his senses and took out a new box containing watercolor pencils.

    “This is a gift~”

    “Ah! Thank you~”

    “It’s school anyway, so if you want to ask anything, you can come to me on a day like today when there are no classes.”

    Teacher Ko Min-su gave me his timetable.

    “thank you.”

    “And when you use up all of those colored pencils, come back and I’ll refill them for you, okay? You have to come again!”

    “yes.”

    As I struggled to hold the huge case, my homeroom teacher helped me.

    “Si-yoon, your father is waiting.”

    “is it so?”

    I received guidance from my homeroom teacher and headed to the office.

    Dad waiting in an office giving autographs to other teachers.

    When he spots me, he waves his hand and smiles brightly.

    A while later, I was sitting among actors I hadn’t seen in a long time.

    Kang Hee-seon brings me cola and popcorn.

    “delicious?”

    “huh.”

    “Wow… Siyun is getting prettier every day.”

    “Your aunt is pretty too.”

    “really!?”

    “It’s a lie, but I’ll say it is.”

    “…..”

    Actors Kim Ha-neul and Song In-seong laugh at my words.

    The director thanked each and every producer, and thanked us at the end.

    Although he did not receive an award, director Yoo Dae-yeon is grateful that they finished one work together.

    “Our editors, just work harder! Thank you all so much for your hard work!”

    The movie started with applause.

    I didn’t know it when I was monitoring, but when I looked at the screen, it was very colorful.

    A movie that starts with a heavy atmosphere.

    There is a breathtaking chase scene with an actor running away from a zombie.

    The situation between the chaser and the chased appears to be very close.

    In order to film that scene, numerous zombie extras were cut out.

    The director shows the results in a video, as if to prove the reason for replacing people.

    Before I knew it, my first scene came out, and my dad swallowed his saliva.

    I slowly emerge from the darkness, cautious, like a frightened child in front of a gasping extra.

    With an innocent-looking face that shows no knowledge of anything, the scene where a knife is driven into the head is obscured by the shadow of moonlight.

    My dad couldn’t hide his embarrassment, as he seemed like he was coming off as a complete villain.

    I watched this while stuffing popcorn into my mouth, and Minji smiled when she saw me with puffy cheeks.

    A scene was shown taken from several angles.

    As if to let you know that there are parts that have not yet been decided and parts that need to be modified.

    When a cruel scene appeared, my father next to me quickly covered my eyes with his hand.

    “Put it away.”

    “No! That’s too cruel.”

    “It’s less cruel than Alien. I’ve seen episodes 1 through 6, and I know everything.”

    “…..”

    Dad naturally withdrew his hand.

    The movie shown for the purpose of overall monitoring was quite satisfactory.

    After the screening, applause poured in.

    The director asks our opinion.

    It was a formal part anyway, so while everyone was nodding and saying that they were looking forward to it being fun, I talked about a few scenes.

    In particular, the parts that seemed useless, the swimming scene, had a strong feeling of being very bright.

    Although I stood out and was a flashy and good scene, it was awkward and did not fit the situation.

    As we were having various conversations with the director, everyone began to add their opinions one by one, and a heated discussion began.

    The director must have been very satisfied with this situation and was smiling while answering.

    In the end, the director also responded by writing down similar thoughts in a notebook.

    “Really… thank you so much for your help until the very end!”

    After applause, we went to the dinner party.

    My dad may have been more popular than I thought, so he refused to drink alcohol, but he naturally led the conversation.

    Well, he is also friends with Lee Jin-seok, who only knows about fishing and economics, and it is clear that his father is a natural insider.

    In the meantime, my father seemed to have gotten used to it and was chopping up the meat for me to eat without even looking. Director Yoo Dae-yeon, who had been drinking a lot, approached me and spoke to my father once again.

    “I will definitely buy it today.”

    “Ahaha. Then I will eat a lot and leave!”

    “That’s the answer you’re looking for! Everyone, eat until your stomach explodes! Siyun, eat a lot too~”

    My face was red from the alcohol and I looked at Yoo Dae-yeon, who I was liking.

    This movie was made because you really wanted to do it, agonized over it, looked forward to it, and immersed yourself in it.

    As the end of the movie was in sight, Yoo Dae-yeon’s expression looked very happy.

    I remembered my dad’s expression when he played the piano for the first time in front of me.

    I do it because I really enjoy it.

    Do it because you really want to.

    A truly happy expression.

    Most people who were facing their dreams in front of them looked happy.

    As I looked back on my life, which was like a cigarette, I remembered living a life of causing trouble to others.

    ‘Would I have been that happy too…?’

    The next morning, the betta licked my face.

    “…..”

    The weather outside right now was one that anyone could say was ‘good weather.’

    The light shining through the curtains would have been perfect if it hadn’t stung my eyes…

    I wanted to close the curtain, but since my arms are short, I just snuggled deeper into my dad’s arms.

    But Beta didn’t allow it, and came between me and my dad.

    Dad started tossing and turning, causing hot sunlight to hit my eyelids through the curtains.

    “Ugh…”

    I picked up the betta and tried to get him to sit on my head.

    When I tried to lift the 6 kg betta while lying down, it was so difficult that I lost all sleep.

    Who said that, rather than waking up by drinking coffee, you can wake up better if you spill it while making coffee to wake yourself up…

    Therefore, if I can’t sleep any longer, I wake up my dad who is sleeping well.

    This is my interpretation and privilege as a child.

    “dad.”

    “…Yes”

    “hungry.”

    To be honest, Dad isn’t hungry, but when I tell him he’s hungry, he wakes up like a conditioned reflex.

    The face looked innocent, but the split body was reminiscent of Park Gi’s body in the past.

    Of course, it is a muscle that is more like a useless decoration than a driving force.

    “Beta keeps waking me up…”

    “Huh? Why is that so…ah…”

    Dad was trying to sleep again, but he must have remembered that I said he was hungry, so he forced himself to get up.

    I looked at Beta and Alpha and realized that it had been over two weeks since they had been washed.

    “Come to work.”

    Alpha and Beta seemed to understand what I was saying and approached.

    “Shall I take a shower?”

    The alpha ran away quickly, and the beta crawled into my arms to ask for a pat, wondering what was so good about it.

    A beta that is similar in height to me when lying down.

    At this level, it is definitely a lion and not a cat.

    As I go out into the living room, Alpha follows behind me.

    “dad.”

    My father, who was wearing an apron, turned around at my call.

    “huh?”

    “You know we’re watching a movie today, right?”

    “Ah!!! It’s today!”

    My father asked CEO Jang Seong-man to watch the movie I was in with Dayeon, Lee Jin-seok, and my friends.

    Kim Sun-hwa stayed at home to see Jeong-yeon and Ga-yeon.

    My dad’s cooking skills were better than most people seen on YouTube.

    As if I were a chef.

    “Si-yoon.”

    “huh?”

    “Please take a picture of me, Dad.”

    Because of me, my dad started not performing at night, and his fans were harassing Jang Seong-man.

    Jang Seong-man asked his father to at least film a vlog if he wasn’t going to perform.

    My dad started a vlog.

    I turned on the vlog on my dad’s cell phone.

    “hello.”

    Only my locked voice came out and the screen showed only the beta on the table.

    – Siyoon!!!

    – Siyoon’s voice has been healing since the morning…

    When I stroked the betta, my hand seemed so small that I could feel its size.

    – Show me dad!

    When I picked up my phone and looked at my dad cooking, the chat window went crazy.

    -Aaaah!!

    – ㅗㅜㅑ… Jiho oppa… haha

    – Healing from the morning.

    – I became a married man… Look at my body getting better… Wow… my back muscles are great…

    Dad looked at his cell phone filming, said hello for a moment, and then focused on cooking again.

    “No… Dad said he would raise it.”

    “sorry…”

    “If this was going to happen, I would have broadcast it.”

    – My aunt is welcome.

    – Uncle too…

    – Si-yoon’s movie is coming out today!

    I said after seeing the comment.

    “I can’t see it because I’m 8 years old… It’s a bit unfair.”

    – Siyoon, do you play Maple Leaf?

    At that time, I answered the question suddenly so as not to let anyone know that I was Yuja.

    “What is that?”

    Around the time I was dealing with people who doubted my voice for a while.

    My dad asked me for his cell phone to see if he had any time left.

    As I was walking, I saw my reflection reflected in the mirror-style refrigerator.

    – Wow… what did you just say?

    – It’s really so pretty…

    – To be honest, Kim Ji-ho also has terrible visuals, but when he’s with his daughter, he looks like a squid…

    I was wearing yellow chick pajamas, and since they were large pajamas, they fluttered around as I walked around.

    While I handed the phone over to my dad and went to pick up snacks for Alpha and Beta, my dad showed me on the air.

    I said, covering my face with my hands.

    “Why don’t we take a picture of Dad’s face?”

    “We have to leave a pretty image for our daughter~”

    “Hmm… I left a lot behind in the movie.”

    When I naturally lowered my arm, my dad smiled awkwardly.

    Alpha and Beta were only looking at my hand holding the snack, so I squatted down.

    “The beta who woke me up today, wait.”

    My betta stays still even when I put the treat on the floor.

    “Dang…”

    I fed the snacks in my hand to Alpha first and then to Beta.
