“You should avoid this place.”

The assistant director pointed to the spot marked in the center of the pure white crosswalk, where ‘Lee Jae-ha’ was supposed to be standing. The extras nodded as they confirmed the route.

“And the three of you, please pass by like this. You must pass by keeping this much distance.”

The three extras who were given the role of passing by Lee Jae-ha’s body answered, “Okay.”

For this shoot, we had to stick to the route.

What director Kim Soo-han wants is for passersby to brush past Lee Jae-ha’s arm or shoulder, not for them to pass through Lee Jae-ha’s body.

‘Well, it would be more shocking if it passed through the body.’

Because the truck already showed that.

This time, it seemed better to focus on the expression on Lee Jae-ha’s face as he was surprised to see passersby brushing his shoulder or arm.

“Let’s practice.”

At the assistant director’s words, the extras all crossed the crosswalk at once. Some ran, while others walked briskly.

“Please also take a look at the side with the chroma key.”

As the assistant director said this, pointing to the tree-lined street where the wrecked truck would be placed for CG, several extras who had received the instruction naturally looked this way and that with worried expressions.

The assistant director, who had been watching the extras’ performances closely, nodded slightly and turned his head. Director Kim Soo-han, who was watching through the camera, also opened his mouth as if he liked it.

“Let’s start filming.”

“Let’s start filming!”

Those words became the signal for the extras to head to their positions.

Han Jun-seo also waited for filming to begin in a half-collapsed position on a crosswalk with a child actor.

“Good job. Let’s do it like we did before.”

“yes!”

He didn’t forget to praise the child actor either.

There were people who looked at that sight with a smile.

“It reminds me of old times.”

It was Seojun and Choi Taewoo.

“okay?”

“Yes. I was an extra in Shadowman 1.”

Seo-jun smiled as he recalled Melissa, who played William’s mother and Barron, who played the role of the ideal wormhole(?), who treated him kindly. He also thought of Lee Ji-seok, who he met in [The Phantom].

“Will that kid become an actor later?”

“I hope so.”

The praise I met at the mart was also like that.

I thought it would be really nice to meet you again in the same work later.

“Ready,”

As the actors all took their places and the lights and cameras were ready, director Kim Soo-han raised his voice.

Seojun looked at the actors performing in front of the camera with a serious expression and a slight smile.

“Action!”

The parents of the child running towards them, their faces turned red, and the surprised passers-by were seen.

“Kim Joo-an!”

“Are you okay!?”

Some people asked about ‘Choi Dong-hyun’s’ condition and some people reported it to 119. They didn’t forget to look at the trees in front of the street where the ‘truck’ would be naturally as in the rehearsal.

Pedestrians with worried expressions surrounded Choi Dong-hyun and the child.

Choi Dong-hyun, who had been rolling on the floor with his child, stretched out his arms and raised his upper body.

“I’m fine.”

And I didn’t forget to say that.

Choi Dong-hyun raised his head. He saw Lee Jae-ha standing alone, blankly, beyond the worried faces of the people.

Lee Jae-ha was looking at himself.

Choi Dong-hyun also looked at Lee Jae-ha.

The camera captured Han Jun-seo’s face, looking into the empty space with eyes filled with complex emotions. Even though the extras next to him were spouting lines filled with concern, Han Jun-seo felt like he was alone and isolated.

“Cut! Okay!”

Seojun was cast for the next shoot.

It was the same scene as before, and we had to film it again because we were planning to composite it during editing.

Filming resumed.

Seojun, standing tall on the crosswalk, and Han Junseo, sitting on the ground, looked at each other.

‘……oh.’

Director Kim Soo-han, who had been blinking, soon raised the corners of his mouth as if he was satisfied and shouted, “Okay!”

“Have you calculated this far?”

Director Kim Soo-han asked Seo-jun and Han Jun-seo, who had come to monitor. Han Jun-seo smiled slightly and nodded. Seo-jun also smiled.

“Oh. I practiced.”

The assistant director raised a question mark above his head at the unknown conversation. In response, director Kim Soo-han moved his hand and showed the video he had just shot on the monitor.

“Look at this. The direction of Junseo’s gaze. And the angle of his head.”

Then he showed me the video he had just shot.

The assistant director, who had been watching the video intently with a slight frown, immediately noticed and let out an exclamation of admiration.

“… … It’s exactly the same.”

In both the filming where Seo-jun was absent and the filming where he was present, the position of Han Jun-seo’s head and gaze, playing the role of ‘Choi Dong-hyun looking at Lee Jae-ha’, was exactly the same, as if it had been copied and pasted.

It was perfect, as if he had calculated where Seojun’s eyes were and even his height before raising his head.

wow.

Han Jun-seo smiled shyly at the admiring gazes of the assistant director and the nearby staff.

“Ready, action!”

Lee Jae-ha, who had been blankly staring at Choi Dong-hyun, opened his mouth as if to say something.

But I had no idea what to say right now. Why, me, why, like this… … My mind was so messy and confused that it was giving me a headache.

Choi Dong-hyun, who was looking at Lee Jae-ha like that, sighed and got up from the floor. While telling the worried passersby that he was okay, his attention was only focused on Lee Jae-ha.

Choi Dong-hyun touched his left ear with his hand. He felt an ear that had nothing in it. The wireless earphone he had been wearing seemed to have flown away somewhere when he was saving the child. At that moment, Choi Dong-hyun let out a sigh and looked around.

“Here it is, here it is.”

A man quickly picked up one of the earphones and held it out.

“Oh, thank you.”

“No. I am the one who should be thanking you. For saving our child… … .”

ah.

This man who looked like he was about to cry at any moment seemed to be the child’s father. The mother, who was checking the child’s physical condition right next to him, immediately thanked Choi Dong-hyun. Her face was filled with tears and worry.

“thank you…….”

“No. The child would have been very surprised… … .”

While they were talking, the police and ambulance that received the report arrived at the scene. Some of them came towards the truck that had crashed into the tree, and some came towards the child and Choi Dong-hyun.

“It doesn’t look like there are any major injuries, but… … .”

The paramedic who said that asked if he wanted to go to the emergency room. Choi Dong-hyun, who saw the two ambulances, shook his head and gave the ambulance to the child.

“You have to go! To the hospital!”

The child’s parents, who were both grateful and worried, said this and took out their wallets. They emptied out all the money they had and handed it to Choi Dong-hyun along with a business card.

“Please take a taxi and go to the hospital. And please contact me. Thank you so much.”

Choi Dong-hyun nodded his head in agreement after receiving the money and business card, thinking that one of them would stay if he didn’t accept it. Then he put on his wireless earphones and walked away.

“Let’s go. I’ll explain.”

Choi Dong-hyun, who was passing by and talking to someone as if he was talking on the phone, and Lee Jae-ha, who was quietly watching the people who didn’t even look at him, let alone say anything, opened his mouth.

“First of all, let’s go to the hospital first… … .”

Lee Jae-ha noticed that Choi Dong-hyun’s leg was slightly limping.

“You will hear the explanation later.”

Choi Dong-hyun sighed and nodded to Lee Jae-ha, who seemed to not listen to any explanation until he said he was going to the hospital.

***

“Please go to a nearby hospital.”

“Are you hurt? It looks like you had an accident.”

The taxi driver looked only at Choi Dong-hyun through the rearview mirror and asked.

The taxi driver also didn’t notice Lee Jae-ha sitting next to Choi Dong-hyun. Nevertheless, Lee Jae-ha opened his mouth.

“A truck suddenly crashed into the crosswalk.”

I couldn’t believe it.

No one sees you.

Perhaps there were too many people, or there was an accident, so no one paid attention to themselves. Lee Jae-ha continued speaking, trying hard not to think about the pedestrians who had passed him by.

“This guy was slightly injured while trying to save the child.”

An answer will surely come back in this cramped taxi.

However, he did not hear anything like, “Oh my, you’re in big trouble.” The taxi driver simply waited for Choi Dong-hyun’s silent response.

“… … a truck suddenly crashed into the crosswalk.”

Instead, Choi Dong-hyun spoke as if sighing.

“I got a little hurt when I tried to avoid it.”

“Oh my, I’m glad you weren’t seriously hurt.”

Unlike what Lee Jae-ha had said, the taxi driver continued speaking immediately.

“If you get into a car accident, you should definitely go to the hospital. The aftereffects can be serious.”

That was almost like a confirmed kill.

Lee Jae-ha is not human.

‘then……?’

If I’m not human, what am I?

My heart was pounding and my emotions were racing. My vision seemed to go black and then white, and I felt suffocated.

……breath.

Did I breathe?

The thoughts that followed made my stomach churn as if I was going to throw up at any moment.

“Huh? Is the air conditioner on? It’s chilly.”

No?

Choi Dong-hyun sighed softly and lightly hit Lee Jae-ha as he saw the taxi driver pressing the switch. Lee Jae-ha turned his head and looked at Choi Dong-hyun. His eyes were filled with tears.

Choi Dong-hyun sighed again.

***

A taxi carrying two humans and an unidentified being arrived in front of the university hospital.

Choi Dong-hyun got out of the taxi, which had to turn on the heater because the cold air did not go away, and spoke to Lee Jae-ha.

“You are here.”

“……why?”

Lee Jae-ha asked, sniffling, as if he had been thinking a lot.

“There are a lot of things you can’t see in a hospital.”

At Choi Dong-hyun’s words, Lee Jae-ha raised his head and looked at the pure white university hospital. If what he thought was true, there must have been quite a few people like him in the hospital.

It seemed too soon to see them in person.

“……all right.”

Lee Jae-ha answered, “And so.”

“I’ll come out as soon as possible.”

You could see people looking at Choi Dong-hyun with a surprised expression as he spoke, and then looking at the wireless earphones in his ears and saying, “Aha,” and understanding.

Since he couldn’t see himself and couldn’t hear his voice, it probably seemed like Choi Dong-hyun was the only one talking. That’s why Choi Dong-hyun was probably wearing wireless earphones to make it look like he was talking on the phone.

Lee Jae-ha, who found out why Choi Dong-hyun had been wearing wireless earphones all this time, sat down at the edge of the flower bed near the parking lot with a blank expression.

People running in a hurry, people walking slowly, people walking while supporting their families, people checking the parking lot, and even sparrows scurrying around, chirping!

No one saw Lee Jae-ha.

Jaeha Lee, who had been staring at the sight with blank eyes, turned his head and looked down at his hands.

The feeling of skin when you squeeze and release it… … No, can you feel it? Do you just ‘think’ it like that?

“me…….”

My voice came out without me knowing.

“Is he dead?”

Are you really… … dead?

***

Choi Dong-hyun, who came out of the hospital with a slight limp, found Lee Jae-ha sitting blankly at the edge of the flower bed. His face looked absent-minded, as if he had been thinking a lot while waiting.

‘That makes sense.’

Choi Dong-hyun swallowed a sigh and approached Lee Jae-ha.

Lee Jae-ha suddenly raised his head when he felt someone walking toward him. Maybe it was all an illusion. Maybe everyone was just busy and pretended not to see him. Except for Choi Dong-hyun, everyone else could see him… …!

“ah…….”

A sigh escaped Lee Jae-ha’s mouth as he realized that the person who approached him was Choi Dong-hyun.

Choi Dong-hyun, who knew the reason for the disappointed look on her face, pretended not to see it.

“They said that all I had to do was steam it for a few days.”

At those words, I looked down and saw my left leg, slightly visible with the bandage.

“… … Thank goodness.”

Even Choi Dong-hyun felt sorry for Lee Jae-ha, who had lost all his strength. However, all Choi Dong-hyun could do was tell Lee Jae-ha the truth.

“Let’s go home. I’ll explain it to you when I get there.”

“……yes.”

Lee Jae-ha stood up from his seat with a jerk. His actions looked very difficult and heavy.
