“I need to check out the bed. Hey manager, put my bag over there.”

Kang Ji-hoon enters the tent while speaking informally to Chan-ho, who is five years older than him.

Eugene asked me to bring her a long chair that looked like a bench, so I went inside and found her lying on the bed and snoring.

If this is how it’s going to be, then why did you say you’d stay here?

Seongsik and Chanho are lighting a fire in the empty space in front of the tent.

Even though winter is over, the nights are still chilly.

Still, I can’t tell you how thankful I am that it’s not summer.

If we had filmed in the summer, Eugene and Sora would have been nagging us to go play in the valley.

“Manager, you’ve worked hard. You don’t have to stay.”

As expected from a good living MC, he also encourages other people’s managers.

“It’s hard work. It’s actually nice to be camping in such a nice place. Haha.”

He doesn’t really like camping, but he says things he doesn’t mean.

He was still a young lord, so he had no choice but to be dragged here.

I wanted to pretend to know Chanho hyung a lot, but now we are just meeting for the first time.

If you show off your friendliness, the three of you will be suspicious and wonder what kind of relationship you have.

As I sat down on the chair, Eugene laid down on my thigh as if it were natural.

“Wow, this way I can see the stars better.”

It was just everyday life to me, but it must have looked strange to Seongsik hyung.

“You two are close. Hey, are you guys dating?”

“They’re childhood friends. Eugene is more whiny than he looks.”

Sora cuts off the words sharply.

Seongsik, who caught the mood, looks at me with a big smile.

[You’re having a hard time between the two of you. You’re blessed, so do your best.]

This is exactly the expression.

*

When Seongsik got up, saying he was tired, Chanho followed him.

Now it’s just the three of us left.

Even though Eugene sees Sora almost every day and talks to her often, they have so much to talk about that they lose track of time as they continue their conversation.

“I called you and all he did was talk about your acting. He tried to find fault with you by saying things like your pronunciation in historical dramas isn’t like that… Instead, he said something, so praise him.”

He sticks his head out and asks to be petted.

“My dad is telling me not to do it. He tells me not to apply at all even if I say I won’t do it if I fail the trainee exam. My mom is on my side and is stopping me, so I don’t know why she hates it so much.”

“Do you know how many idol teams the CEO has raised? He’s seen all the hardships they’ve gone through, so he doesn’t want to let them do it.”

“But I still want to do it. I’m the one who suffers, so why is Dad doing this?”

Eugene is stamping his feet and getting irritated.

It’s shaking, so stay still.

The sound of flowing stream water and burning wood creates a charming BGM.

The night sky was very beautiful, definitely different from what you see in the city.

I feel at peace when I gaze blankly at the stars in the darkness.

It was such a peaceful night to think about the accident.

I heard the sound of sloshing from below and looked down to see that he was already asleep.

He looks so comfortable in his sleep, perhaps because he fell asleep at the perfect sleeping spot.

“When Eugene was little, he was really arrogant… I didn’t know he was a kid who could sleep with his lap as a pillow.”

“I do that because I’m comfortable.”

“No, I believe it. And it’s also lovely.”

He makes comments that make his skin tingle without any hesitation.

I couldn’t think of anything to say in response, so I stayed silent.

He stretched in his armchair and spoke to the sky.

“Do you know why I’m interested in you?”

“Because you said it was pretty the moment you saw it?”

I remembered the day we first met in the annex waiting room.

[I think she’s prettier.]

Sora continued, her cheeks slightly blushing.

“You don’t have to believe what I’m about to say. It doesn’t make sense, even to me. But it’s not a lie. Especially not to you.”

Why are you taking so long to say something?

“I see people’s colors differently. People who have nothing to do with me and are not interested in me are plain colors, but the colors of people who attract me are incredibly flashy. Like Eugene.”

This is the first time I’ve heard of it.

Looking at the expression, it seems to be different from the usual colors that the eyes perceive.

‘What is it? Is it a superpower?’

“That day, Eugene was looking at the colorfully painted colors, and then you came in. You were seeing colors for the first time… no, the light dyed in color was surrounding you.”

“… … .”

“I was curious. What is that light? What is it that makes it so pretty? But the light came to me and said I was pretty.”

He speaks while looking into the distance.

I’m looking at Sora from the past, not me.

“Something burst inside me. The heat spread through my whole body and it was hard to breathe. Since that day, I only see you.”

It’s a more burdensome comment than a confession of love.

Could the feeling Sora felt really be love between a man and a woman?

“I’ll stay by your side until those feelings disappear. Don’t go anywhere either. If you try to leave me, then… we’ll really die together.”

“It’s different from Eugene. He said he would die so I could live.”

“Did Eugene do that?”

“He said I would feel guilty until I die. It was punishment.”

“I won’t do that. I won’t die first because I’ll be with you even after I die.”

That’s scary in its own way.

Eugene and Sora change drastically when they get involved with me.

*

The night air is quite cold.

It’s not yet the season to sleep outside.

“The lights will go out soon. I have filming tomorrow too, so I’ll go to sleep now.”

“Yeah.”

Why wake up a sleeping child? I quickly picked up the princess’s arms.

He snuggles into my arms, grumbling that it’s cold.

Sora’s eyes widen and she sits back down on the chair.

“What are you doing?”

“Eugene brought it and came back.”

I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but I can’t hold it in any longer.

I went into the tent, laid him on the bed, and covered him carefully with the blanket.

When I go outside, he is sitting on a chair waiting for me.

“Why are you sitting back down? I said let’s go in.”

“Me too. Hug the princess.”

“What?”

“Eugene did it. It has to be fair.”

Then he extends his hand towards me.

He’s usually good at making concessions, but he’s lenient when it comes to things like this.

When I did the same thing to Eugene, he laughed bashfully and put his arms around my neck.

“This makes me feel like a real princess. Don’t you think so? Prince?”

“Princess, it’s time to go to bed, so I’ll bring you here quickly.”

He smiled and followed the rhythm.

Eugene entered the tent, being careful not to wake it.

“Get down now.”

“Just a minute.”

He lifted his face and covered her lips.

Gently push your tongue in and spread the heat inside your mouth.

“Goodnight kiss. Sleep well.”

He pushes me outside and closes the tent entrance.

I couldn’t even put my tongue in.

*****

The cot inside was moved to the entrance of the tent.

Because if something happens, you have to jump right out.

Since the two parties involved in the accident are sleeping, nothing will happen right away.

Even if I wake up, everyone will be awake at that time.

‘The future vision showed me an accident, so I should solve it.’

It’s always been like that since I returned.

Showed the problem in advance and gave me a chance to solve it.

After solving it, I made a connection that helped me in my acting career.

This encounter is with Chan-ho, who will be my lifelong partner.

It’s a little early, but I plan on bringing my brother once this issue is resolved.

It will be difficult to start a company right away, so you should become a 1+1 partner with your brother and find an agency.

I fell asleep while picturing a future with Chanho hyung like this.

Shoo aaaah —

When I opened my eyes, the world had changed.

‘What the hell is this?’

There was a thick awning over the tent so it was okay, but the open space side was a mess.

It was a heavy rain like you would see in a tropical region, to the point where I wondered if I was really in Korea.

When I went out into the valley, the water had risen tremendously and the flow was strong.

The stepping stones we had crossed had disappeared without a trace.

In this level of bad weather, drowning accidents are quite likely to occur.

When I looked at the time, only three hours had passed.

‘It’s strange. The weather can change like this in just 3 hours?’

It felt like I was watching special effects rather than reality.

It seemed like the future vision was now in its prime and was going to create an environment where I could drown.

Whatever it is, it’s an emergency now.

I hurried back to the tent and woke everyone up.

Everyone woke up without even opening their eyes, but when they looked outside, their expressions completely changed.

In particular, this kid Kang Ji-hoon panics as soon as he sees it raining.

“Oh, shit… What should I do? What should I do? Hey Manager!”

Amon Chan-ho is caught and there’s chaos.

No matter how I looked at it, it wasn’t a situation where we could cross the valley on our own.

“Anyone with a broken phone? My antenna doesn’t work.”

Seongsik said while checking his cell phone.

Eugene and Sora shook their heads.

It was the same with Chanho hyung and Jihoon Kang’s phones.

Mine keeps appearing and disappearing.

I kept trying to dial 119, but it wouldn’t connect.

“By now, the staff must have noticed the stream water was overflowing. They must have called 119, so let’s wait a little bit. The tent is still safe.”

We gathered in our tent furthest from the cliff in case a landslide occurred.

It wasn’t a very good situation, but everyone was still calm.

As Seongsik said, if it was this empty, the staff would have already taken action.

“But it’s better than the year before last. Back then, the set was washed away by the waves, so we couldn’t film. The wind was blowing so hard… .”

Seongsik tells the story of how his older brother suffered from a typhoon.

He even does an impromptu talk show, imitating the voices of famous actors.

Thanks to that, the gloomy atmosphere improved a little.

I sat near the entrance to the tent and listened to the sounds outside.

This is so that rescue workers or staff can quickly notice when they arrive.

While I was watching Seongsik’s one-man show, I heard a sound from far away.

‘Rescue team?’
