“Hey, Lee Chan, let’s go to the noraebang after school.”

“We have tests soon. Go after the exams.”

“Me? I’m not sure. I was planning to go home with Yeseul.”

“Dongwook, you should go home as well. You should raise your scores.”

“Hey, why don’t we play around a little? We’re only in our 2nd year of high school.”

Dongwook, the character Dongho played, was supposed to be a prankster character, but Dongho looked a little awkward. Even he could see that Dongho was hesitating, so the producer must have noticed that a long time ago.

“Cut, let’s do that again,” said producer Park Hoon.

The three got into position again. After one more round, the producer shouted cut again.

“Let’s do that again. Relax your shoulders. You should relax a little more. Think that you’re in your actual classes at school. We need you to look natural. Get ready.”

Again, again, and yet again. As the shoot repeated, everyone’s acting became stiff....
