My House Has Become a Filming Set!

༺ My House Has Become a Filming Set! – 22 ༻

 

  Leaving the bewildered Grace behind, Lee Yeonwoo dragged Han Taegu, who was hiding among the staff. It was an explosion due to intolerable misconduct.

 

  “What is it? You keep calling people without saying anything since last time, is it all over if the filming goes well? And how can we accommodate all five at our house?”

 

  “Well…, Yeonwoo, I apologize for not informing you in advance. I’ve arranged separate accommodations for the five, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

 

  ‘Is that the problem now?’

 

  Heat surged towards Han Taegu, who kept his mouth shut about the arrival of guests and didn’t give a single hint.

 

  “Yeon, stop it. PD has to have a surprise appearance for the fun.”

 

  So, a surprise appearance and a surprise fake landlord? Both Grace and the real landlord were taken by surprise.

 

  Who is this broadcast for? Oh, I see. It’s for the viewers.

 

  Lee Yeonwoo forcefully hit Kim Cheolsoo’s back, who was pretending to be the landlord and making coffee more peacefully than Han Taegu.

 

  “You’re no different, man. Why are you making coffee at someone else’s house? Do you know how hard it was to get that?”

 

  “It’s just instant coffee, isn’t it?”

 

  If it’s about the coffee that Grace was holding, it was the coffee pack that Kang Do-jun had brought from Granny Kyeongyi’s house for himself.

 

  “… Is it okay to drink this?”

 

  Grace, a rookie boy group from DH Entertainment, the same agency as Kang Do-jun. They were suddenly plugged into Kang Do-jun’s variety show by DH Entertainment to replace a suddenly messed up schedule. Although they were lucky to be filming their first variety show with Kang Do-jun, a confusing incident occurred as soon as they arrived.

 

  Having overheard Lee Yeonwoo’s conversation, they murmured amongst themselves and debated whether or not to drink the coffee.

 

  “It’s okay. We can always get more.”

 

  After telling Grace to drink comfortably, Kang Do-jun approached the steaming Lee Yeonwoo.

 

  “Yeonwoo, let’s stop here.”

 

  Lee Yeonwoo’s shoulders were grabbed from behind and pulled towards him.

 

  When Shin Gihyeon came, Han Taegu deliberately hid for a surprise appearance, but today, he felt a little unjust too. It was a schedule that suddenly changed due to pressure from DH Entertainment. Accordingly, due to the twisted schedule of working at Aunty Cheolsoo’s side dish store today, Han Taegu was also in a predicament.

 

  Kang Do-jun had also received a hurried contact through the agency yesterday, so he knew it was not Han Taegu’s fault.

 

  ‘I should have told Yeonwoo in advance.’

 

  Seeing Lee Yeonwoo rampaging around, a feeling of guilt arose.

 

  But if Kim Cheolsoo was pretending to be the landlord, he should have stopped it. The kid must have been so surprised.

 

  Glaring fiercely at Han Taegu, he spoke.

 

  “What are you doing at someone else’s house, calling people over when there’s no landlord?”

 

  Finally, a moral-book-like statement popped out in this strange rural village.

 

  However, it was too late for everyone to learn from the moral-book-like statement.

 

  ‘If it’s fun, it’s okay!’

 

  The problem was Han Taegu’s filthy inner thoughts that he couldn’t voice in front of Kang Do-jun.

 

  If there was someone who learned from his words, it was Kim Cheolsoo, who was still a high school student. He apologized with a cowered expression.

 

  “Do-jun, I’m sorry. I won’t do it next time. I guess I did something strange without knowing it because of the rural atmosphere.”

 

  ‘Strange behavior….’

 

  There was one fact realized from Kim Cheolsoo’s words.

 

  ‘Ah, I was doing it too.’

 

  Unconscious deeds done instinctively, vowing revenge, came to mind. Entering Granny Kyeongyi’s house without permission and taking the coffee pack, looking for disinfectants….

 

  Lee Yeonwoo, who discovered Kang Do-jun frowning slightly, kicked Kim Cheolsoo’s calf and spoke.

 

  “Kim Cheolsoo, hyung’s head’s aching because of you. Quickly return home… Ah.”

 

  “Ah! Who, who is Cheolsoo?”

 

  Kim Cheolsoo covered Lee Yeonwoo’s mouth and glanced at the Graces. He had met a friend of his age while exchanging greetings and getting to know each other earlier.

 

  In the countryside, he may not know, but he didn’t want to be called by a name that would appear in a Korean textbook as Kim Young Hee’s boyfriend, especially by friends of his age.

 

  ‘They didn’t hear it, did they?’

 

  “Mr. Cheolsoo, the kid can’t breathe.”

 

  “Ah! Do-jun. Did, did Sehyun make Yeonwoo suffocate? I’m sorry.”

 

  Kim Cheolsoo, although it was a bit cheesy, wanted to appeal to people that his name was Kim Sehyun by describing himself in the third person. Eventually, he released the hand that was covering the mouth, and when he glanced at the Graces, he could feel the buzzing.

 

  “Are you okay?”

 

  When Kang Do-jun asked worriedly, Lee Yeonwoo stuck out his tongue a little and made a face.

 

  “Spicy.”

 

  “… Did you suck on your hand?”

 

  “It accidentally touched.”

 

  “Do you want some water? Rinse your mouth.”

 

  While they were unintentionally spending time in their own world, from the current Grace’s perspective, it was no different from experiencing the Truman Show.

 

  With a nervous heart for the first entertainment show, especially filming with actor Kang Do-jun, the friendly landlord he met for the first time was not the real landlord, and even his name was fake.

 

  He whispered in a confident voice.

 

  “Is this hidden camera?”

 

  “Yeah, it seems so.”

 

  “But there was no such talk.”

 

  The agency running a hidden camera on them, who are rookies, without any action? The leader shook his head, claiming that the agency would never make such an experimental idea.

 

  In an attempt to understand the situation somehow, He sought the manager. However, he was momentarily away following the production team.

 

  Among them, Han Jin, the 18-year-old youngest member who was the same age as Kim Cheolsoo, asked the members while pointing at Lee Yeonwoo.

 

  “Isn’t that person’s hair a wig?”

 

  His hair was blacker than others, and it was cut unevenly. At first, they didn’t notice because they were drawn to his cute looks, but now it seemed like a wig.

 

  “Why is he wearing a wig?”

 

  “Because of the hidden camera?”

 

  At the youngest member’s words, all the members were persuaded and looked at Lee Yeonwoo, then the leader scolded.

 

  “Didn’t you see actor Shin Gihyeon’s Star Feed today? That’s his real hair.”

 

  With that, the leader also glanced at Lee Yeonwoo. He had been too busy to touch his phone these days. It was fortunate that the manager showed him Shin Gihyeon’s Star Feed in advance. Otherwise, he would have mistaken him for a wig wearer and a strange landlord, undoubtedly thinking it was a hidden camera.

 

  ‘So he was the real landlord.’

 

  “Um…uh, the person wearing a wig. He’s coming this way?”

 

  “Why are you panicking? Greet, you have to greet.”

 

  “But we did that earlier. Do we do it again?”

 

  The youngest member, who was embarrassed by the slogan, mumbled with a gloomy expression.

 

  “Hello! Who are we, here to dominate the Country Occupation? Your star! Grace-!”

 

  “…Oh, I see.”

 

  Surprised, Lee Yeonwoo stepped back and answered.

 

  ‘These kids also struggle to earn money.’

 

  Suddenly, sympathy came rushing in.

 

  “I am Jay Han, the leader and eldest member of Grace.”

 

  “Nice to meet you. I’m Hail.”

 

  “My name is Jin Hyung.”

 

  “I’m Biyu! Thank you, I look forward to working with you!”

 

  “I’m Han Jin, the youngest member of Grace! I look forward to working with you.”

 

  At a few game character-like names, Lee Yeonwoo blinked his eyes. Suddenly wanting to joke, he greeted them.

 

  “I’m Beezlover. I look forward to working with you.”

 

  Kang Do-jun and Kim Cheolsoo, who were listening, looked at Lee Yeonwoo with a puzzled expression.

 

  “Yeon-hyung, what are you saying again that doesn’t sound like anything.”

 

  “This is Lee Yeonwoo. I look forward to working with you.”

 

  Kang Do-jun pressed down on Lee Yeonwoo’s head and introduced him instead.

 

  “…I look forward to working with you.”

 

  Now that the greetings were over, what should they do? Everyone’s eyes were wide open, staring at Han Taegu like meerkats.

 

  “Uh…!”

 

  There were some improvised games prepared in haste due to the changed schedule. The number of people was seven, including Lee Yeonwoo. Han Taegu sneakily looked at Kim Cheolsoo.

 

  ‘Isn’t he leaving?’

 

  He seemed to have no intention of leaving, his eyes wide open, watching what Han Taegu would say. It was the innocence of a high school student.

  

  Including Kim Cheolsoo, there were eight. He had helped when Lee Yeonwoo seemed to kill him with his eyes earlier, and somehow he had also created an entertaining scene pretending to be a fake landlord.

 

  Having come this far, he found himself contemplating whether to proceed with the games in teams.

 

  “Shall we take a break for a bit?”

 

  They halted the filming for a while to discuss with the writers and to check the cameras.

 

  Kim Cheolsoo quietly approached Han Jin, the youngest member of Grace, to clear up the misunderstanding about his name.

 

  “Excuse me.”

 

  “Ah, …Mr. Cheolsoo.”

 

  “You can just call me Sehyun!”

 

  Kim Cheolsoo, flustered by the name Cheolsoo, raised his voice in anger.

 

  ‘I’m definitely going to change my name when I become an adult!’

 

  “Excuse me.”

 

  Han Jin called Kim Cheolsoo. The address, ‘Excuse me,’ brought a wave of inexplicable embarrassment.

 

  Unable to contain his curiosity, Han Jin pointed at Lee Yeonwoo, who was next to Kang Do-jun, and asked.

 

  “Is his hair a wig?”

 

  “Ah, that?”

 

  Looking at Lee Yeonwoo’s hair, Kim Cheolsoo chuckled and spoke.

 

  “It’s really funny, right? I saw it this morning and almost died trying to hold back my laughter.”

 

  When he heard the news that actor Kang Do-jun would visit his village, Kim Cheolsoo endured the weekdays at the dormitory and returned home. His father said to him.

 

  ‘When you see Yeonwoo’s hair later, just pretend you don’t know. The actor cut it himself.’

 

  Kim Cheolsoo, who enjoyed various social media such as stargram, FaceBook, and was quick to hear news being a high school student, had seen Shin Gihyeon’s post a while ago.

 

  ‘So there was something even Kang Do-jun couldn’t do….’

 

  ‘I should secretly take a picture. They hung it up as a billboard saying it’s a haircut.’

 

  “Hyung, what have you been doing since a while ago?”

 

  Lee Yeonwoo had been watching Kang Do-jun from his side, wondering why he had been constantly turning off his ringing phone since a while ago. Normally, he didn’t fiddle with his phone much, but today he couldn’t seem to keep his hands off the device.

 

  “It’s nothing.”

 

  Moreover, he didn’t even explain why. As Lee Yeonwoo looked up at him with a sullen expression, Kang Do-jun smoothed his hair once and then went somewhere else.

 

  ‘What? Where are you going?’

 

  He watched his retreating figure intently, like an abandoned puppy. The place where Kang Do-jun had moved to was none other than Jay Han, the leader of Grace.

 

  “Excuse me.”

 

  “…Huh, yes! Senior Do-jun.”

 

  Jay Han, who was nervous wondering why he had called him, compared to Kang Do-jun, who hadn’t taken his eyes off his phone, asked.

 

  “Do you know how to put a filter on a photo?”

 

  “What photo are you referring to?”

 

  “This one.”

 

  He showed him the photo he had taken of Lee Yeonwoo in the restaurant earlier, holding out his phone.

 

  “Yeonwoo suits a bright background, but it came out a bit dark.”

 

  Jay Han looked at the photo with wide eyes. The protagonist of the photo was indeed Lee Yeonwoo, standing a distance behind Kang Do-jun and looking at him.

 

  ‘Why this photo?’

 

  “I saw Gihyeon’s feed, the background came out nicely because of the streetlights, is there a specific filter for that?”

 

  Jay Han was a bit surprised, but he answered as sincerely as possible.

 

  “These days, the pretty filters are available as paid options in apps! Or would you like me to choose from the free filters?”

 

  “Let’s make a purchase. But since I’m going to post it on the feed, please choose the prettiest one.”

 

  No matter how much he was going to hide his face, it was Kang Do-jun’s grand obsession that he should do his best since it was about Lee Yeonwoo.
