Shin Ji-hoo wasn’t planning on leaving Seo Ee-soo’s set right away.

There was a dangerous element named Hong Geun-sik on the set of .

So, Shin Ji-hoo made up his mind to protect at least this set.

But he didn’t manage Seo Ee-soo as closely as before.

That’s how it turned out.

And.

Seo Ee-soo.

Seo Ee-soo listens well to Shin Ji-hoo.

To Shin Ji-hoo, Seo Ee-soo was a stranger he had met beyond a thousand years.

He was also the first person in a thousand years to treat her well.

So, like a baby bird following its mother.

That’s how Seo Ee-soo followed Shin Ji-hoo’s words.

And.

The words Shin Ji-hoo gave to Seo Ee-soo have always been the right answer for her.

So, this time too, Shin Ji-hoo’s words must be right.

Seo Ee-soo did as Shin Ji-hoo said this time too.

She worked hard to shine even brighter.

She wanted to be the brightest person on set.

“Seo Ee-soo, doesn’t the atmosphere feel different these days?”

“Even the acting.”

“Really… If you relax for a moment, you’ll lose your scenes.”

Just deciding to shine brighter.

Just that determination made Seo Ee-soo’s acting improve even faster.

But…

Even so, Seo Ee-soo still didn’t understand what Hong Geun-sik meant by ‘desire’.

She didn’t want to shine out of desire, but simply because Shin Ji-hoo told her to.

Up to this point, it was fine until the middle of the work.

But, as they approached the highlight of , problems began to arise.

The highlight of the Naju character had to express desire according to Hong Geun-sik to capture the true essence of the scene.

“Cut!”

During Seo Ee-soo’s acting.

Choi Da-woon called cut.

“Let’s do it again.”

When the NG call was declared, the people on set looked somewhat puzzled.

“Just now… Wasn’t it okay?”

“It wasn’t just okay. Who would think that acting was done by a rookie.”

In their eyes, Seo Ee-soo had shown good acting in this scene.

And their perspective was not clearly wrong.

Seo Ee-soo didn’t understand desire, but…

However, the virtual personality built on playfulness was able to properly express desire according to the script.

The problem was that Director Choi Da-woon’s standards were unusually high for this scene.

With Seo Ee-soo’s current acting skills, she couldn’t meet the director’s standards just by playing around.

So,

“Cut! Let’s do it again.”

“Cut! Seo Ee-soo, bring out more emotions.”

“Cut!”

Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut…

The cut sign kept ringing incessantly.

People became more puzzled.

No.

More precisely, they were bewildered.

“Why are they focusing so much on a supporting role scene?”

Seo Ee-soo is not the lead of the work.

She holds a significant role, but she is strictly a supporting character.

Of course, even in scenes where supporting characters are central, they should show a proper level of completion.

But there should be a limit to that.

In some aspects, the filming set is similar to the military.

Just existing there consumes funds.

So, if you think about efficiency.

It was natural to compromise to some extent in supporting role scenes.

However, Director Choi Da-woon was focusing excessively on supporting role scenes with high standards.

They couldn’t understand Director Choi Da-woon.

“…Hmph.”

And, Director Choi Da-woon didn’t bother sharing his thoughts with others.

‘After all, those without sensibility can’t understand those with sensibility.’

The words of a genius are incomprehensible to the ordinary.

They simply admire the results created by the genius and think, “That’s why it turned out that way.”

So, there’s no point in explaining.

Choi Da-woon was a director of an ordinary commercial film who prioritized efficiency.

Therefore, instead of wasting time explaining, Choi Da-woon continued to shout NG and put pressure on Seo Yi-soo.

However, no matter how much of a genius director he was, it was impossible for him to instantly elevate the acting skills of the actors.

After repeated NG calls,

“…. This won’t work. Since we’ve almost finished shooting all of Seo Yi-soo’s scenes anyway, let’s move on to something else.”

Seo Yi-soo, for the first time since the filming of “Business Partners” began…

No, perhaps for the first time since she started acting.

She couldn’t deliver the performance properly, causing delays in filming.

Naturally, Seo Yi-soo was very frustrated by this fact.

As she usually does when feeling down,

She went to a corner of the set, pouted her lips, and knelt down.

At that moment, Han Sun-yul and Bae So-yoon approached her.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“Yi-soo, what did the director say?”

“…He told me to act with more desire.”

“Desire….”

In truth, Seo Yi-soo couldn’t understand Director Choi Da-woon’s directing at all.

With her lips trembling, she said,

“I don’t understand what he’s saying. I already have a lot of desire. But he’s asking me to have more here. Isn’t that strange?”

“Yi-soo, you… have a lot of desire?”

Han Sun-yul raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, yes. For example, I want to eat tteokbokki with Bae So-yoon. And when I do, I’ll eat a lot, a lot.”

“…Huh?”

As Han Sun-yul and Bae So-yoon looked puzzled,

Seo Yi-soo, unaware of their confusion, pinched her fingers as if counting her desires.

“And, and. Actually, I’d like us to go to the karaoke together today. I want to sing a lot this time.”

“…What?”

“…What did you say?”

As Han Sun-yul and Bae So-yoon’s faces turned pale,

Seo Yi-soo continued to pinch her fingers.

“And, and…. With Shin Ji-hoo.”

As she was about to say that, she suddenly looked even more gloomy and closed her mouth.

“Anyway. I really have a lot of desires.”

Seo Yi-soo boldly declared that she had a lot of desires.

Of course, the other two just shook their heads in disbelief.

“Yi-soo…. That’s not what desire means.”

The two tried hard to explain what desire really meant.

But.

“I don’t understand. I don’t know how my desires are different from what I’m talking about.”

Seo Yi-soo couldn’t understand the difference between her desire for tteokbokki and mango shaved ice and desire.

And so, Seo Yi-soo had to finish filming that day without getting a single cut of the scene she was given.

Seo Yi-soo became even more frustrated.

“….I’m really incompetent. I hate myself.”

Seo Yi-soo hugged her knees tightly and buried her head.

It was such a pitiful sight.

“Oh…. That’s right!”

The clueless Bae So-yoon exclaimed.

“Let’s go eat something delicious?”

“Something delicious?”

“Yes! Um….”

What should she suggest to eat?

What could tempt this delicate and melancholic girl to lift her spirits?

Mango shaved ice came to mind.

But maybe they had it too much.

Something new seemed necessary.

Something new.

Something delicious.

And something that Seo Yi-soo would like.

In that moment,

Inspiration struck Bae So-yoon.

“Macarons.”

“Macarons…?”

“Let’s go eat macarons!”

Bae So-yoon exclaimed enthusiastically.

“Oh…. Please count me out. I don’t like sweet things.”

“—-!”

Threatening Han Sun-yul, who was trying to back out, Bae So-yoon used a language beyond human understanding.

“The child is so upset like this! Aren’t you going to follow right now?!”

The momentum was so intense.

Han Sunyul, a man, looked so terrified that cold sweat dripped down.

“…I-I’ll go with you.”

“What? If you say it like that, it seems like we’re kidnapping you. Speak properly, okay?”

“I didn’t know. I actually liked it. Please take me with you. Please.”

“Hmph.”

Bae Soyun chuckled triumphantly.

Tap-.

She patted Han Sunyul’s shoulder and said as if granting him a favor.

“Since you’re begging like that. I guess I have no choice. Follow me. I’ll take you.”

“Ha. I really live like this.”

As they watched the absurd drama unfolding between the two.

Seo Eisu asked.

“Is macaron really that delicious?”

“Of course! It’s super sweet!”

“Sweet?”

“Yeah! Even sweeter than mango shaved ice!”

“M-More than mango shaved ice…!”

Seo Eisu’s eyes were filled with shock.

Mango shaved ice.

It was so sweet and delicious.

To be even sweeter than that.

Seo Eisu had a simple personality.

Before she knew it, she had forgotten why she was feeling down and started focusing solely on what macaron tasted like.

And so, a new mukbang begins.

Planned and directed by Bae Soyun.

Starring Seo Eisu.

And, well, Han Sunyul is…

Well, Han Sunyul may be a bit gruff, but he’s a kind and good friend.

Supporting roles, production, supporting actors, extras… Anyway, Han Sunyul is the jack of all trades.

With these three people, one can’t help but anticipate what this mukbang will look like.
