Variety show filming usually takes a long time.
A program that officially starts shooting at 2 p.m. can go on until almost 8 p.m. without finishing.
Throughout the entire process, Liu Xin’an stood not far from Director Kim, absorbing the precious on-site experience while jotting down notes and sketches in his notebook. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novｅlfire.net
His seriousness and concentration earned Han Jaeduk’s nod of approval, who couldn’t help but admire him from the side.
He had seen Liu Xin’an’s impressive resume and knew that this president’s nephew was definitely not the type to coast through life on his family’s coattails.
From their interactions over the past two days, he could feel the other’s diligence and earnestness.
Han Jaeduk couldn’t help but reflect: if Liu Xin’an were actually an actor, just with his hardworking and studious nature, how many fans could he attract, how much popularity could he bring for himself...
As long as he wasn’t hopelessly clueless about acting, with such effort, success was surely on the horizon.
This is the highest echelon of artist in the entertainment industry.
It’s not that he wanted to rank artists, but people here had long been accustomed to doing so.
An actor represents the pinnacle among all artist statuses.
At the sound of Director Kim’s "Cut," everyone in front of the camera breathed a sigh of relief.
They bowed and exchanged greetings, those more familiar laughing and chatting together.
Director Kim rubbed his forehead and turned to look at Liu Xin’an, who had been earnest from the start and was still full of energy now.
"Seeing a large production team in operation for the first time made me feel both amazed and honored."
With a bit of flattery, Liu Xin’an naturally obtained Director Kim’s personal contact information.
Of course, Liu Xin’an hadn’t thought about getting involved in this side of the entertainment circle in the future... Once his internship ended, he decided he would message Director Kim to express his gratitude and explain.
Returning to Han Jaeduk’s side, he glanced toward the distant makeup room.
Im Nayeon went there to change clothes and remove makeup as soon as she finished shooting.
It’s not that she insisted on using the production team’s makeup room, but...
"Ah~ so annoying, my hair is full of cream."
True to what Han Jaeduk told Xin’an at the beginning, Im Nayeon was indeed a regular recipient of punishment on the show.
Today, Nayeon rightfully received her punishment.
And today’s punishment... a cream cannon.
As the name suggests, it was a cream cannonball to the face.
It definitely didn’t hurt, but having cream smeared over your face wasn’t a pleasant feeling either.
Not to mention, a lot got into her hair.
After a quick clean-up, Im Nayeon muttered with an expression full of resentment as she climbed into her nanny car.
Following her was the female stylist who had come with her.
Liu Xin’an and Han Jaeduk took their seats in the passenger and driver’s seats, respectively.
Tomorrow, Nayeon had no solo schedule, as all of Twice were to participate in various performances.
At such times, Xin’an was naturally not needed, so his task was to process what he’d learned at the shooting site today at home.
However, before Xin’an left work, Nayeon stopped him just as he prepared to leave.
He stopped in his tracks, involuntarily turning his head to look at Nayeon, who was peeking out from the practice room.
Nayeon, or rather Twice, really worked hard; even now, after finishing the shoot, Nayeon didn’t think about going home to rest but planned to keep practicing at the company.
Keep in mind, it was already close to 9 p.m., quite late.
And tomorrow morning, she had to get up early for hair and makeup at the beauty salon to prepare for the day’s performance schedule...
Too competitive, truly too competitive.
"About you and Dahyun, I’ll keep it a secret."
Nayeon said this with a grin, then was satisfied to see Xin’an’s pupils gradually dilate.
She raised her small hand, clenched her fist, and made a cheering gesture for Xin’an.
But instead of showing gratefulness as she imagined, Xin’an... frowned.
As Xin’an approached, Nayeon looked puzzled.
Only when he stood still in front of her did she blink her big eyes, showing an innocent and cute smile.
"...It seems you’ve misunderstood something quite significant."
Xin’an finally figured out what was off about Nayeon’s words.
What could he possibly have going on with Kim Dahyun?
Considering Nayeon’s secretive demeanor at noon, an unbelievable thought began to emerge in Xin’an’s mind.
"Misunderstood? What?"
"Do you think that Dahyun and I are in a relationship?"
It was admittedly awkward for him to bring it up, but clearing the misunderstanding was more important than feeling embarrassed.
Nayeon nodded and then laughed openly, "Isn’t that the case?"
"Of course not," Xin’an lamented. His dream of getting rich with the series of numbers Nayeon provided today vanished.
He had planned to stop by a lottery shop on the way home to buy a ticket!
Turns out, a person’s sixth sense isn’t always reliable.
At times... ridiculously off-base.
How she came to the ludicrous conclusion that he was dating Kim Dahyun, he was extremely curious.
