“Move as slowly as possible.

But you need to be conscious of the fact that you are walking.

You are slowly recreating the motions of walking.

Expressing slow movement and slow walking are two completely different things.

You have to consider in your mind which part of your foot detaches from the ground first, how your arms are moving at that time, and where your gaze is heading.

It will be no good if you stop thinking completely.

You have to use your brain fully.

Think that theres a camera above your heads.

You will be looking at yourselves through that camera.

Imagine a strict teacher inside your heart.

Thats the best method.”

Miso clapped very slowly.

The students, lined up in a long line, slowly started walking according to her claps.

Moving slowly.

That was a method of bringing natural and subconscious usage of the muscles into the realm of consciousness.

If even ones breathing speed was controlled to a slow speed, it was possible to feel the movements of various muscles.

For the first few minutes, it might be a little boring, however, with enough time, those that did this exercise would find themselves sweating.

Maru looked away from his juniors and looked at an old-style paper in front of him.

Next to that was a board of mdf that would have to become a door frame.

They decided on the play they were going to perform at the summer acting competition two days ago.

It was a story set in a countryside village.

The stage included a flat wooden platform and a house with a thatched roof.

They decided to make the old paper doors with old-style papers, and the roof with some straws glued to some mdf with wood glue.

He drew some lines on the mdf with a pencil before dragging it over to the other side of the hall.

He placed the mdf on a chair to act as a table and started sawing the wood with a coping saw.

Maybe being a woodworker wasnt so bad either - he thought as he looked at the falling sawdust.

“That looks fun.”

“Want to have a go” Maru asked as he offered the coping saw.

Miso refused with an expression that saidwhy should I.

The other club members were still walking slowly.

“Have you talked to the film production club kids”

“Talk to them, huh, that I did.

Over there, can you step on that part on the chair at the end”

Miso stepped on the end of the mdf.

Maru got into a sawing posture again before continuing.

“So, did you decide to do it”

“For now, I havent decided yet.”

“Why You dont like it”

“They havent shown me anything yet, so I cant exactly like or dislike anything.

Oh, press a little hard.

Youre capable of snapping this board with your bare hands, arent you”

He agilely avoided the slap that flew at him before moving the saw to the next line.

It wasnt that the door was actually going to be used, so it just had to look the part.

He was planning to snap it off once he sawed quite far.

“They havent shown you anything From what I heard, they seemed to be really passionate though.”

“Passionate, yes.

But passion doesnt create films.

I made a visit to the film production club, but they havent produced anything for several years, so they dont even have the basic knowledge nor the tools.

There are no cameras, and its just filled with DVDs and video tapes.”

“For equipment, you can just rent.

I mean, students cant really afford a 6mm film camera.

Thats why they just buy the film rolls.”

“Im thinking that too.

Actually, equipment isnt a big problem.

Bluntly put, you can just solve it with money, and that graduate friend of yours who used to belong to the film production club can also help out.

But the main problem is that theres no script either.”

Maru exerted some strength and snapped the wood.

Along with a loud crunch, the board was snapped unevenly.

It was around 50cm, and the outcome looked decent enough.

“Theres no script”

“Nope, there isnt one.

Also, whats interesting is that theres a storyboard.

No, its like a storyboard, but its more like she just sketched some things that were inside her head and I cant exactly make my decision based on that.”

“I get what you mean.

But thats the norm.

If she had perfect pre-production skills, shes way past being an amateur.

Go easy on her.

Oh, should I pull on this part”

Yes - Maru replied before pulling the board too.

It snapped cleanly in half with a snap.

Looking at the clean cut, Maru smiled for some reason.

“Maybe I should try making more sets some time.

This kind of thing is fun.”

“Playing house is always more fun than running a real house.

So, what are you going to do” If you refuse, that friend of mine will call me and start nagging.”

“Does that person have your weakness or something That isnt like you.”

“Hes taking the photos for the wedding album.”

“Aha, that makes more sense now.

So that goes down the drain if I dont do it”

“Our friendship isnt that cheap.

We made this promise a long time ago.

Also, Im paying him.

Among the people that work in this industry, not even one person likes doing something for free for a friend.”

Miso turned her head around before shouting.

You guys are speeding up! - Hearing her shout, everyone flinched before slowing down again.

“The reason I told you about that shoot, was only because it could help you out.

Dont have too high standards.

They just started off after all.”

“To be precise, its not they, but her.

I told you right That they dont have any intentions of making a film despite being a film production club.

Right now, just one girl is jumping around everywhere trying to make this a thing.”

Miso blinked several times.

“They arent at the stage where the whole club is preparing for it and they called you when just one kid is fantasizing”

“Pretty much.”

“Forget it.

Dont do it.

I thought that they were all preparing for it and that one girl popped out in particular.

If what you say is true, then that means that shell be a one-person director, and if she doesnt have anything prepared at this point, thats game over.”

“I thought you told me to go easy on her.”

“I thought she would have the basics down at least.”

“Im a guy who will do things if people tell me not to, so I somehow want to help them out since you said that.”

“Why dont you come up with a better lie I can clearly see that you have zero intention of helping them.”

“I do have some.

Like what you said, they are students, so they cant be perfect.

Its not that I dont have any time either, so I can help them out if I really wanted to.

But like I said before, they werent able to show me just what kind of a film they were trying to shoot, so they dont sound attractive right now.

Im not getting paid for this, so thats even more of a reason not to do it if its not fun either.”

“Do you know that you sometimes sound like youre a veteran at life”

“My motto in life is that money is the best.

Didnt you know that already”

“I did realize that you werent right in the head, when you wrote down 300 million, but I didnt know you were that crazy for money,” said Miso with a laugh.

Maru also laughed back.

“So, whats the conclusion Youre going to help them if you find it interesting”

“You told me that it will be a good experience.

Im going to wait it out a little longer before deciding.

That Sora girl isnt entirely dumb.

If she has the desire to shoot the film, shell get herself ready before calling me again.

Im going to make my decision then.”

Maru placed a few pieces of MDF on top of one another.

It should be about done if he nailed these together and pasted the paper onto it.

“What if its lacking at that time as well”

“I dont really mind it being lacking.

I raised my expectations since she looked so confident, but theyre currently at rock bottom right now.

The environment for shooting, minimum preparation, and also, a bit of respect.

As long as she has those, Im planning to talk to her properly.”

“Respect”

“She was taking for granted that I will be participating in the film.

She didnt look like she was trying to persuade me.

She looked like she was announcing facts to me, so I grumbled a bit yesterday.”

“How picky.”

“Another one of my dreams is to become a splendid kkondae.

I should build up for that while Im still young.

Using my connections to flex, using money to persuade people, and being treated like an important person.

Thats my ideal life.”

Miso raised her thumb, saying that that was splendid.

“Im thinking about this big for the door.

What do you think”

“Were going to place two, so its not bad.”

“I should really finish making the set and go watch the others.

Its also a little boring to do it by myself.”

“Youre the only staff member for now, so do your best.

If you dont like it, you can always come to the actor team.

Youre very welcome there after all.”

Maru shook his head as he looked at the club members frowning as they walked slowly.

It was much better to nail stuff here rather than joining that group.

“I am practicing the basics on my own, so Im okay.”

“Really What a pity.

It would be really fun if you could join us.”

Work hard - Miso turned around after adding those words.

Maru whistled as he heard the groans of the others.

He could already picture them going home in pain.

* * *

It had been a while since he didnt have a shoot on a weekend.

This was because the episode about Yeseuls one-sided love was starting.

From what he heard, Yeseul, Jichan and Giwoo had a shoot from Saturday through Wednesday.

“Ill go up to the clubroom today.”

“You dont have a shoot today”

“Its been a while since I didnt have a shoot on a Saturday.

Ill go up and see how the others are doing.

Is senior Miso coming today”

“No, shes not coming today.”

“Also, I heard that you decided to meet up on Sundays as well.”

“Thats because we decided on the script.

Theres yours in the clubroom too so take a look later.”

“Theres mine as well”

“Well, we made a copy for now.

So that you can help when we go over the lines.”

“Uhm, president, Im a staff member though”

“Do it anyway, youll help out, right”

“Whew, our little Park Daemyung has gotten a lot more evil.”

Daemyung went up first.

Maru shrugged before returning to his class.

“Maru, lets start cleaning.”

A classmate tossed a broom at him.

He was going to the faculty office, since he was supposed to clean it, when he saw a man walking up the stairs with a tripod and a black bag.

From what he saw in that brief instance, there was a Sony logo on the bag.

‘Is that him

It seemed that he was the graduate from the film production club.

He also looked to be around his early thirties, so Maru was probably right.

After finishing the cleaning of the faculty office, Maru went up to the clubroom.

He saw thirty bags lined up neatly on one side.

The small clubroom only acted as a storage space for bags, since there wasnt enough room.

It was good that they had a lot of members, but that came with its drawbacks as well.

He stepped between the bags to go to the display stand.

The script that Daemyung talked about before was placed there.

He grabbed a copy before going up to the 5th floor.

When he climbed about half way up, he could hear some loud voices.

It seemed that they were doing a vocal exercise, and since there were more than thirty of them, their voices reverberated throughout the corridor.

He quietly opened the door and entered.

The juniors were looking towards the window.

He greeted Daemyung, who noticed him coming in, with his eyes, before sitting down in a corner.

“You have to make a sound as though you are pulling out all the air you breathed in.

You might feel dizzy, so watch out for that.”

The juniors all voiced out upon Daemyungs instructions.

Daemyung looked quite good as an instructor.

Maru flipped the pages of the script so that he didnt interrupt them.

Just when he was looking at the first page, a shadow loomed over him.

“Should I tell them that youre here”

“Forget it.

Thats not why Im here.

But their focus is pretty good.

Not even one of them turned around even though the door was quite loud.”

“Thats because they suffered enough of instructor Misos punishments.

They would have to run laps around the field if they lost focus after all.”

“Thats true.

How are the 2nd years faring”

“Ever since they heard that skill will decide who will go up on stage, theyve been practicing like mad.

They are putting even more effort in than last year.

Dowook seemed to want to do it as well.”

“Thats why this country will never abandon competitive studies.

Its effective.

So, when are you going to decide on roles”

“Im talking to the instructor about it right now.”

“Dont you need to decide soon Itll be April next week.”

“We will.

She seems to be picking some people as well in her mind.

Shell probably tell me soon.”

“How do you see it Does anyone catch your mind”

“Im torn because everyones good.”

“What a happy worry you have there.

You are going to do the read-through today, right”

“Yeah.”

“May I add some input after I listen to it”

“Of course.”

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Maru thought that he was mistaken and looked at the door for confirmation when he heard the knock again.

“Ill go get the door.”

Maru stood up before walking towards the door.

He waved his hand at the first year students who glanced his way before opening the door.

“Ah, seonbae-nim.”

Sora was standing outside.

It wasnt just her.

The members of the film production club were there as well.

“What brings you here”

“The script is done.”

Sora carefully took out the script from her bag.

Her attitude had slightly changed from last week, when she boldly put the synopsis in his face.

“You couldve texted me though.”

“Theres something else I need to talk about as well.”

“Something else”

Sora fell silent and looked at Ando standing next to him.

Ando coughed before stepping up.

“We want to try creating a movie with the acting club.

We wanted to talk to you guys about it, and thats why were here.”
