“Sain is here.”

“I’ll write well.”

In return for shouting Muya together, I was able to get an autograph from Sarah. It was not ordinary A4 paper, but a stiff and luxurious sign. It was clear that Joo-hyuk would be happy if I got Yuki’s autograph and brought it to him.

“So are you going to go get an autograph right away?”

“I should get it when I have free time after work.”

I got an autograph, but I didn’t have any intention of running to get Yuki’s autograph right away. For now, I had to focus on solving the strange phenomenon. Sarah was also excited, and if I became excited too, it would be difficult to investigate the case.

We didn’t come to the filming set to have fun.

Again, I’m here to work.

I told Sarah about the strange phenomenon.

“Let’s organize things first. Did you say that a young boy sometimes appears on set? Also, props disappear and animal cries are heard.”

“Yes. Those are three things.”

“Is the little boy ghost playing a prank?”

“That could be possible. When children die, they run around and cause trouble without even knowing they are dead. Youngja ghosts are very playful.”

“First, let’s assume that it was a spirit that caused the accident.”

I took out the EMF meter that was in my pocket for the first time in a long time. I haven’t had much to write about lately, but I thought I could use this one for research. It was a device that indicated if there was a spirit nearby with several flashing light bulbs.

━━Weeing

When I turned it on, the EMF meter light came on.

In the playground, one or two light bulbs were twinkling.

It meant that there were no spirits around here.

It was while we were having a conversation.

Suddenly, there was a person creeping towards us.

I felt like he was popular so I looked in that direction and was almost surprised.

“Wow.”

The person who approached us was none other than Yuki. Yuki, who had been reading the script from afar, suddenly hid his presence like a cat and sneaked up to us.

Yuki is a popular idol who is a hot topic these days.

I thought I would only see idols on TV or on stage for the rest of my life, but I was a bit embarrassed to meet them up close in person.

“Hello.”

Yuki spoke to us first.

The slightly slurred pronunciation was cute.

I accepted the greeting awkwardly.

“Hello, Mr. Yuki.”

“Korea’s Mikko-san (みこさん)… ? Are you the same assistant as me?”

“Yes.”

“Wow. You both are awesome. And the assistant is so handsome. When I first saw you, I thought you were an idol. Mikko is so pretty too.”

Yuki’s eyes sparkled as she looked at me.

I can’t believe you’re handsome.

I was a little embarrassed to hear a compliment on my appearance from an active idol.

But the pronunciation is so funny.

The more I look at it, the more I understand why it is so popular.

It just worked out well.

I asked Yuki about the incident.

“Can I ask Yuki a few questions?”

“Yes.”

“I heard that there was a time when a prop disappeared from the filming set. Do you know when and where something disappeared?”

“The baseball bat disappeared last week. In the prop storage room.”

“Couldn’t it just be a thief?”

“At that time. The staff went to check the props… I saw it there! A boy was staring at me from behind! Feeling like Toshio from ?”

I was a little confused because my words were slurred, but after I figured it out, I understood what happened.

On the movie set, there was a vehicle with a trailer to store props.

That day, the staff went into the trailer to check the props. However, I felt a strong gaze and turned around to see a boy sticking his head out from outside the door and looking at the staff.

When I tried to chase him, the boy disappeared without a trace.

It was later discovered that a baseball bat inside the trailer was missing. It was clear that the loss was related to the boy in some way.

“Other props disappeared that way too! Toshio showed up last week as well.”

“I see. Thank you for your cooperation.”

First, let’s take a look at the vehicle where the props are stored.

That was the moment I thought about it.

“Yuki! What are you doing there?”

A young man approached Yuki.

He was one of the staff members who worked on the special effects team earlier.

I wasn’t calling because of filming.

A young man who looked like a master approached Yuki and smiled.

“Are you helping Bodhisattva?”

“… Yes.”

“Wow, maybe because he’s an idol, he has a kind heart. He’s a real angel.”

Although I was receiving compliments, it felt like Yuki was having a hard time with the young man for some reason.

There was something strange about the attitude of a leading actor towards the staff.

It didn’t end with compliments.

A young man who looked like a master quietly asked Yuki to do something.

“Do you have any plans after filming today? It’s nothing special, but a friend I know is planning to film a CF, and I wanted to talk about it with Yuki.”

“I’m sorry. The schedule is full.”

“Ahaha! okay? Then, please contact me when you have time. It won’t be difficult, right? Have a meal with me while talking.”

At first glance, the atmosphere was flirtatious, but there was no one on set to stop the young man. There were only people looking at me from afar with complicated eyes. When the young man was rejected by Yuki, he returned to his original position with a shaky gait.

what?

I was purely curious about the young man’s identity, so I asked Yuki.

“Who is that person?”

“Mr. Lee Hyung-sik. Work in the special effects team.”

“Something other than the name. Is it even a high person? How can a staff member make fun of an actor?”

“Ah… Actually, that person is the son of the CEO of Show Entertainment. Youngest son.”

If it was a show entertainment company, it was a movie production company.

It turned out that he was a really high person.

Yuki sighed and explained the situation to us.

“CEO, I think my youngest son likes me a little too much. They said they were just taking up space here on purpose just to see me. Doing things roughly.”

“Is something like that possible even with a parachute? You’re not in a position to take responsibility if a movie fails, right?”

“That’s right, but the CEO of Show Entertainment is also a fan of mine. Actually, in the original script, my character was not mixed-race, but purely Korean. The CEO modified the script to invite me. Of course, there is also the purpose of recruiting idols to make the movie a hit.”

“Ah… .”

The CEO of the film production company was also a fan of Yuki, just like his son.

A father and son duo interfered with the filming site.

Originally, an experienced actress was scheduled to be hired for this position, not Yuki, a mixed-race idol. The character Yuki was originally not of mixed race and had a different name.

They cast idols with the goal of making the movie a hit, but since the CEO is a fan, there must be some selfishness involved.

Slowly, I began to understand why a young man named Lee Hyung-sik was working here.

I spoke first to Yuki, who was silent.

“So, Hyungsik Lee is like a spy planted by the CEO? I guess they will be monitoring how the movie shooting is going.”

“Yes.”

Yuki nodded with a shy expression.

Sarah, who was quietly listening to our story next to us, nodded.

” To be precise, I’m checking to see if my portion is coming out well. Other than that, I don’t really touch it. That’s why the directors are also patient.”

“It was a real water buffalo.”

“Hehe.”

It was the CEO of the film production company who parachuted Lee Hyung-sik into the filming location. He sent his son to a surveillance station to check whether Yuki’s content was being edited arbitrarily or not.

Sarah muttered with a frown on her face.

“At the filming location, the master is telling you to leave it alone, right? It’s very unpleasant.”

I had a similar feeling.

“I have to prepare for the photoshoot soon, so I’ll go.”

” Fighting, Yuki.”

“Neng.”

Yuki greeted us and left.

Soon, filming began at the playground.

We could see Yuki rehearsing the playground scene with the other actors.

“Sera. How is Yuki’s acting?”

“I’m not at the level of reading Korean books… It’s ambiguous.”

To be honest, Yuki’s acting skills weren’t that great.

*

After that, we took a walk around the movie set. Starting with the vehicle that was lost last week, I toured the entire Seongwoon High School. The high school site was large, so it took a long time to look around everything.

So far, the EMF meter has never responded.

Sarah, too, didn’t see anything particularly suspicious at school.

We talked as we walked down the hallways of the school.

“Jinwoo. I don’t think I have a boy right now.”

“I have to keep waiting until it comes.”

We had to wait on set until we found the boy.

“Should I try necromancy?”

“If you do it for no reason, it will be more bothersome if you get caught by evil spirits.”

I also looked around most of the school.

We went out of the school building through the front door.

The actors were currently practicing in the playground.

I saw people sweating and moving under the guidance of a martial arts director. Except for the martial arts director, everyone seemed to be wearing school uniforms.

‘The zombie acting is realistic.’

The bizarre movements performed by the zombie actors with their bodies were noticeable. I haven’t applied any fake blood or anything yet, but it looks like a zombie just by looking at it. I don’t know how much practice it took to show those movements.

Suddenly, I looked up and noticed something strange.

Among the actors practicing, there was one who looked very similar to the male protagonist of . The face and hairstyle were similar, and the height was the same, so just by looking at the back, you could mistake him for the male protagonist.

Of course, if you looked closely, you could tell it was someone else.

I spoke to Sarah while pointing my finger at an actor who resembled the male protagonist.

” Doesn’t that person look similar to the male protagonist? I only saw the back and thought it was the male lead. Are they like twins?”

Sarah smiled and gave me the answer.

“They’re not twins, they’re double actors. An actor who replaces the male lead in action scenes! I intentionally made up my face to resemble Seo Ji-hoon. Can you see the eyebrows drawn thickly?”

“Ah… Is that a stand-in?”

They weren’t twins or anything.

He was a double actor who was intentionally dressed up from head to toe to resemble the male protagonist.

The reason they had similar faces and heights was because someone who looked similar was deliberately hired as a double.

Right.

Thanks for letting me know, Serawiki.

“Lower pressure.”

The male lead’s double was swinging a baseball bat flashily. The zombie actors fell after being hit by their stunt double’s baseball bat. The baseball bat was a specially made prop made of less painful material, and the zombie actors were also wearing protective gear, but that didn’t mean they weren’t dangerous.

‘The swing of the bat is brutal.’

No matter how much acting you do, if you practice something like that, bruises will remain on your body.

I once again gained respect for actors.

“Sera. Stop watching and let’s go.”

“Would you like to see more?”

I tried to drag Sarah away, who had already become an onlooker.

It was right then.

“Aaagh!”

The stunt double, who was swinging a bat with style, suddenly rolled around on the playground floor.

The stunt double screamed while clutching his right wrist.

“Hey! What’s wrong with you?”

The staff, including the martial arts director, quickly approached the fallen actor’s side.

However, even as time passed, the stunt double could not move his hands properly.

“Director! My wrist… My wrist hurts.”

“What, what! Could it be that the ligament went out?”

“Well, I think so… .”

It was because I injured my wrist ligaments.

Unfortunately, the male lead’s double, who was performing action scenes, got injured.
