In the bathroom, steam condensed droplets of water trickle down on the smooth tiles of the walls, the hot water slowly cooled, and a shadow lay dormant under the calm surface of the bath.

Until a certain moment when the water burst into a splash, Ahn Joon-hyuk stood up with his wet hair wiped and his naked body shimmered with the color of metal in the dim light of the bathroom.

He looked at himself in the mirror, the reflection inside, the coldness and sadness on his expression finally receded, and he returned to his usual indifference, but what kind of thoughts did he have in his heart, who knows what he did?

Take off the towel to wipe off the water stains on your body, and then change into pajamas and go out of the bathroom, the mobile phone that was placed on the coffee table when you came in before lit up, opened it and looked at it, it was a few missed calls, and the center of the screen stayed in a row of avatars belonging to Zhixiu.

Looking at the time, the last phone call was just a few minutes ago, and he wiped his hair and pressed call back.

Jisoo over there seemed to have been waiting, and as soon as the bell rang, he picked it up.

"Brother, you don't have anything to do, right? I made a lot of calls, why didn't you answer?"

As soon as she connected, Jisoo came with a series of inquiries, and he could almost imagine the anxious expression on her face when she said this, and when she finished asking, he smiled and said, "Why can't you sleep without my brother talking to you?" You're going to be 20 years old!"

"Yikes!" Jisoo protested with a short scream.

"Hehe, okay, okay, no kidding, why call now, ...... It's almost 12 o'clock. ”

"If you want to fight, you can fight!"

Half a city away, the orange wall lamp in the bedroom is dimly lit, and Jisoo sits on the head of the bed, talking while curling his hair with his fingers a little bored. "When is my brother going home to live?"

On the phone was Ahn Joon-hyuk's hearty laughter.

Listening to the laughter, the corners of her mouth also curled.

She didn't tell her brother and kept calling because she had nightmares. The content of the dream is not a ghost, or some kind of fearful conjecture, but a real memory, in each picture, she grew up from very small, every moment, accompanied by her mother. From her youth and beauty to her aging, what woke her up the most was the speeding business car in early spring last year, and the horror of the moment when the wheels ran over her vision.

Even when I wake up, my heart is still pounding. Then came a well-up of sadness, suppressed like an invisible hand, clenching her chest.

So I subconsciously called my brother - just like many midnight dreams when I was a child, I was scared or sad, she would subconsciously touch her side, as long as she touched his warm body, it was like a boat entering the harbor, all the pain, fear, and panic were all calm.

What I didn't expect was. He didn't answer the phone call, usually if it was her call, my brother would never fail to answer, and some messy thoughts came out of my mind, worrying about whether he was still working. Or...... Or maybe something even more terrifying!

Fortunately, the chaotic dream could not become a reality after all, and when I dialed for the 7th time, I finally waited for his response, and God knows. At that moment, her whole body was about to collapse......

In the dead of night, the brother and sister were separated by half a city, chatting quietly on the phone, until a certain moment, Jisoo finally got sleepy, quietly yawned, and immediately keenly captured the slightest sound of Ahn Junhyuk, and persuaded again: "Don't talk, sleep!"

She rubbed her eyes and found that she was really about to open them, so she reluctantly said "um" and agreed, but before hanging up the phone, she still lied a little coquettishly, begging him to wait for her to fall asleep before hanging up the phone.

In the hotel in Nanshan, Ahn Junhyuk smiled helplessly, so he had to open his laptop, connect to the Internet, and wait for her to fall asleep while browsing the news.

The two rooms separated by half a city, slowly, like the world outside, fell into silence, only occasionally sounded one or two subtle sounds, on that side was Jisoo's breathing, and on this side was the tap of the mouse in his hand.

Time passed quickly, an hour passed, hearing that Jisoo's breathing over there had calmed down, Ahn Jun-hyuk quietly hung up the phone, of course he didn't know what to do, the moment he hung up, the distant home in Cheongdam-dong, Jisoo opened his eyes in the dark, looked at the fingers on the pillow that lit up weakly and then quickly extinguished, and sighed softly.

Although he tried to hide it, she could feel that he was in a bad mood, as if he was trying to suppress something.

That may be the heart that has been cultivated for more than ten years, just like when she didn't know that when she had a nightmare, her brother's heart was in a violent conflict, anger was like a tsunami, constantly impacting the psychological defense line built by reason, and the ruthless beast in the dream roared and wanted to come out, showing its terrifying sharp fangs to the outside world!

If anyone knows the truth, I'm afraid they should thank her for calling again and again......

……

……

It's dawn.

As usual, Zheng Liyuan got up early, sat alone by the window of the bedroom after washing, opened the script, and tried to read silently against the part marked with red lines. Those marked passages belong to her lines and storyboard descriptions, and she has to strive to be ready to memorize them before the start of filming.

The reason why it is so hard is that it is a last resort!

A group of actors in the crew, not to mention those small supporting roles, in the starring lineup, although there is Daniel who is a newcomer like her, and has never had acting experience before, but unlike her, Daniel is very talented in acting, Kim Henry's role, the depth of the other party's performance almost makes people think that they are performing in their true colors, she has watched it several times, and every time, in front of the camera, is a mature man who is confident, sunny, and full of exotic and charming style.

In comparison, she is too inferior, and many times she can't grasp the psychological state of the character, and she is also the one who has the most NG times in the crew.

Faced with this dilemma, her only choice is to work hard and work hard like she did when she was a singer before, and make up for her lack of talent with diligence, although talent usually plays a decisive role in the profession of an actor.

The morning air is undoubtedly excellent, and in Nanshan, the dense forests exhale a large amount of fresh oxygen every morning, and the mist is entangled in the mountain, and every breath makes people feel refreshed, as if even the mind is much clearer.

I recited the lines in the bedroom for a while. Zheng Liyuan, who felt that she was in a good state, was about to go out to exercise and then come back to continue, but as soon as she walked out of the door, she was startled by a person who happened to pass by outside.

"Is it Zheng Liyuan, you also live here?"

The person who was also suddenly frightened was stunned, and hurriedly pointed the camera on his shoulder at her, and actually started an impromptu interview: "Wow, look at the dress, Zheng Liyuan xi is going to go to morning exercise? As a star, Zheng Liyuan xi goes out without makeup every day in private?"

The person who came is the PD of "The Happiness of Ten Thousand Yuan". After Zheng Liyuan bowed and said hello, when she heard his question, she remembered that she didn't wear makeup, and hurriedly covered her face.

PD Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled: "Don't cover it, I've taken it!"

"......" put down his hand depressedly. Zheng Liyuan puffed out her mouth and said in a muffled voice: "PD, why are you here so early?"

"That's what the show is...... Ahn Joon Hyuk's room is over there, right?"

"Well, I'll take you there. ”

"The conditions of the crew are good, and the place to stay for you is very good. As she walked behind Zheng Liyuan, PD moved the camera and included the clean, carpeted, and warmly lit corridor into the lens. While sighing.

Zheng Liyuan was naturally grateful and praised without nutrition, she understood why the other party wanted to mention the crew, it was nothing more than MBC wanted to advertise more, so she specially ordered.

"Oppa goes to bed late every day, and he definitely hasn't gotten up yet. ”

Came to Ahn Joon-hyuk's door. Zheng Liyuan knocked on the door, but there was no reaction inside, and immediately explained to the camera.

PD came to the spirit, "Oh? So Ahn Joon Hyuk Xi has a bad work habit?"

"No, no, no. oppa is very diligent, just ......"

Without waiting for the anxious Zheng Liyuan to finish her defense, PD pressed and asked again: "Also, Zheng Liyuanxi, why do you call Ahn Jun Hyuk xi oppa? I remember that he also called your sister yesterday." ”

Zheng Liyuan stroked her hair, a little shy: "There is no other reason, I am actually older than him, I call him oppa because he has a really calm personality in private, not at all like a young man who has not yet reached the age of 20, sometimes talking to him, it is easy to ignore his age and ask him for advice as an elder, and he is indeed my predecessor in terms of actors......"

As he was talking, the door suddenly opened, and Ahn Jun-hyuk, who was still a little drowsy, appeared in front of the two with squinted eyes.

Maybe it was because the newly awakened brain was still a little inflexible, Ahn Junhyuk didn't pay attention to quickly pointing the camera at his PD, just yawned and asked Zheng Liyuan: "Sister Liyuan, is there something wrong so early?"

"Uh, oppa, it's PD......"

The next moment, Ahn Jun-hyuk finally discovered PD, the original residual sleepiness suddenly dissipated, his expression darkened, and he shrank to close the door.

PD's eyes were quick, and before the door closed, he quickly stuck his foot in the crack of the door, crying and laughing, and shouted: "Ahn Joon-hyuk, it's time to shoot, you're a challenge player, you can't do this!"

"I don't know you, I'll call the security guard again!"

"Ahn Joon-hyuk xi, Ahn Joon-hyuk xi!"

Bang!

The door slammed a few more times, but it didn't close, and PD was unrelenting.

"Ah, don't your feet hurt?"

“…… It hurts ......."

“…………”

After arguing for a while, more than 10 minutes later, PD still appeared in Ahn Junhyuk's room, although it was only a temporary dormitory, but it was also Ahn Junhyuk's most personal side, which was shown under the camera, PD carried the camera around with great interest, and Ahn Junhyuk hurriedly rushed in front of him to clean up his underwear that he didn't have time to wash last night.

"Sure enough, it's a single man, and even an idol like Ahn Jun Hyuk Xi has a sloppy side. ”

In the "uh......" shot, Ahn Jun-hyuk, who had just picked up the changed socks, scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "I was so tired yesterday, I really can't help it." ”

PD smiled, ignoring his explanation, and turned to shoot other places, and after a while, he found new material:

"Huh, Ahn Joon-hyuk, is this your new score?" (To be continued.) )
