“Please wait just a bit.”

Sora left the clubroom.

She had apologized before leaving and gave him some snacks and drinks, so Maru thought that the treatment of guests was pretty decent here.

He picked up a bite-sized cookie so that he wouldnt get crumbs all over the place, and ate it before drinking a bit of orange juice.

“What kind of movie are you guys looking to make”

He had asked Ando, who sat opposite him.

Ando, who was eating snacks just like him, made a complex expression after receiving that question.

“We havent thought of anything specific yet.”

“You havent”

“We never intended to make one in the first place.”

Ando sighed as though he was grieving about his fate.

A new student at the school was eager to work, while the club president was unmotivated.

It seemed that there were a lot of circumstances behind this club.

“Then why did you want to see me if you dont plan to make one”

Just as Ando was about to say something, the door opened again and Sora came back.

She opened a thin notebook in front of Maru.

“This is the synopsis.”

When Sora returned, Ando just reached out for some snacks quietly again.

Maru looked at the notes for now.

“Im thinking 20 minutes.”

“Can I read it out loud That lets me focus better.”

“Sure.”

Maru started reading from the first sentence.

“Minho is being bullied at school.

He didnt know why he was being bullied.

When he realized it he was already bullied.

He was afraid of going to school every day, but the alarm that woke him up every morning pushed him to the school.

Then one day, a transfer student came to the school.

Since the transfer student was shy and had a small voice, he soon became a target.

Minho decided that he should help.

It was because he understood the pain of being bullied more than anyone.

He gathered up the courage to talk to him first.

They ate lunch together and went home together.

Eventually, Minho realized that he had made a friend.

When he realized that he had a friend he could talk to no matter what the others did, Minho gained strength.

After that, Minho was no longer afraid of going to school.

That was because he was able to endure all the bullying and teasing just by talking to the transfer student.

Minho became brighter by the day.

He started talking to a lot more people instead of just the transfer student.

Just like how he didnt know when the bullying started, Minho didnt know when he had gotten a lot closer to everyone.

After some time, someone told him that he should stop hanging out with the transfer student, that a decent guy like him shouldnt hang out with a strange kid like that.

The moment he heard those words, Minho somehow thought that the transfer student looked poor and stupid.

He didnt even understand why he hung out with such a guy in the first place.

From that day onwards, Minho intentionally ignored the transfer student.

He went further and started teasing and swearing at him.

A week after that, the transfer student no longer talked to him, and a few days after that, the transfer student transferred to another school.

Minho no longer had any memories of the transfer student.

What remained was only his own, joyful class.”

Maru closed the notes.

It wasnt possible to put a lot of content into a short story.

In cases like this one, actors would have to absorb as much of what the director was trying to say in as short a time as possible.

In that sense, this was good in the perspective that it focused on the emotional changes of just one character.

Had she gone and put all sorts of characters in it despite it being a short skit, he wouldve closed it without even reading it.

“What do you think”

“Is this supposed to be a satire on society”

“Yes.

Bullying is a social issue these days.

There are even many different types and it has even been made into a documentary.”

“Are you following the trend then”

“Theres that too, but I want to show that bullying doesnt happen because of some kind of intention or reason, and to show the abstractness of the victim and the bully.

Lastly, I want to ask the audience if they are entitled to insult Minho for his actions.”

Maru tapped on the table and thought about it.

He was quietly going to stand up and leave if this turned out to be all talk and no action, but that girl was trying to make a movie with clear intentions.

The synopsis which she had printed and pasted in the notebook, the notes at the bottom listing the characters, as well as the specific plot points she wrote herself on the next page.

Although the specific plot points didnt seem to be completed yet, it was enough to see that she had some concrete plans.

“What do you think”

Maru asked Ando, who sat in front of him.

Ando looked rather dazed.

“I think its good, unexpectedly.”

“Sounds like this is the first time youve heard about it, am I right”

“Yup.

This is the first time.”

Maru looked at Sora.

She was smiling awkwardly.

He pushed the note back over to her and spoke,

“Before we talk about the details, I see that theres something you guys need to get resolved first.

The club president over there doesnt seem to want to do anything at all, while the new student over here is burning up with passion.

I hope you guys can decide on who I should be following.”

If they had the clear intent and will to create and produce a work, Maru was willing to participate.

Since there was no pressure on him with this, he would be able to exchange opinions freely and gain some experience from it.

It wasnt a bad thing at all.

However, the creators of the film were in conflict.

This was something that had to be solved before the production started.

“We are going to create a movie.

Right, seonbae-nim”

Sora looked at Ando.

Ando did not reply.

Sora frowned before approaching Ando.

Maru clearly saw Ando flinching.

“Uhm, Koo Ando, was it”

“Yeah.”

“Can I ask for your number”

“My number Why”

“If you dont like it, should I call the girl next to you and tell her to hand the phone to you”

“N-no, Ill tell you my number.”

It seemed as though he was being completely dominated.

Maru saved Andos number on his phone.

“Well then, please get it sorted before you guys call me again.”

“Seonbae-nim!”

He acknowledged Sora, who called out to him, with his eyes before closing the door.

* * *

“Kang Sora”

Badas eyes turned fiery when she heard that name.

She couldnt understand why her brother was mentioning that name.

“From the looks of it, I guess you know her.”

“I do, I really do.

That cocky, really, really cocky girl.”

“Youre quite firm on that, huh.”

“Of course.

But how do you know her”

“She goes to my school, apparently.”

“Really Thats strange.

From what I know, shes really good at studying.”

“So you know that shes good at studying.”

“Of course, we were in the same class.

But how do you really know her Its not like you know the face of every single new student.

Dont tell me she joined the acting club”

“She didnt.”

“Then what”

“She said she wants to create a movie, and asked me for help.”

“Ah, a movie.”

“You know anything about that”

“She said from time to time that she wants to become a female director.

She seems knowledgeable in that regard as well.

Oh, do you know that she looked down on you When you appeared in that drama briefly last time, she said that anyone can do it.”

“If its about background acting, then yes.

Anyone can do it.”

Her brother nodded without denying it.

He then put a tomato in his mouth like it was nothing.

Bada really didnt like that reaction.

“Anyone can do it”

“Yeah.

Its more like a part time job.”

“Then what about that murderer character”

“I was lucky.

I was there for a part time job, and got to shoot through connections.”

“Ah, luck, huh.

So what she said is right Do you know how frustrated I was And yet you say that shes right Huh Shes right”

Bada poked her brothers leg with the backside of the fork.

Her brother lifted his leg onto the sofa.

“Arent you upset She looked down on you.”

“If you get upset by every little thing like that, you wont be able to last in society.”

“Dammit.”

She was about to say more, but she didnt.

At times like these, he seemed a bit overly generous or something.

Or maybe he was that idiotic.

“Did you cry back then because of her”

“What do you mean”

“You know, you told me that someone said that the autograph is fake.

That was Sora, right”

“Yeah, it was her.

I feel really angry when I think about it even now.”

“But hey.

Did you take that autograph to school and say something along the lines ofmy brother got it cuz hes close with Sungjae or something”

Bada avoided her brothers gaze.

Actually, when her brother got her that autograph and the tickets, he told her not to boast about it.

He also said that it would be incredibly difficult to get one again.

However, Bada wanted to boast about it and said that her brother easily got his hands on the tickets and the autograph.

It was that point that Sora had made her remark about.

“Did Kang Sora say that”

“Yeah.

She boldly asked if Ahn Sungjae and I know each other.”

“So, what did you tell her”

“I said I dont know him.”

“Why! You do know him.

You even got him on the phone for me.”

“Thats enough to say that Iknow him on a personal basis.

Geez, you really dont listen, do you Is it TTO that you like Or do you just want everyone around you to put you on a pedestal because you have something TTO-related”

Her brother was making a really hateful face, but Bada couldnt retort.

It was her who did things that he told her specifically not to do after all.

It was also true that she did boast about the autograph, so all the more reason she couldnt say anything.

“Fine, its all my fault.

Im the bad one and Im the one to be blamed.

You satisfied now”

When she pouted, her brother smiled awkwardly and loosened up his expression.

Bada inwardly sighed in relief.

She had a hard time getting adjusted to her brother since he had changed too much when he entered high school, but now she got used to handling him.

When he was in middle school, he would shout at her first when something like this happened and he would even hit her, but right now, if she made a pitiful expression, her brother would loosen up first and forgive her.

She inwardly laughed and looked at him.

“Are you going to do something to me”

“No, Sora was in the bad.”

“You mean I was in the bad.

Hmph.”

“Fine, fine.

Here, eat this.

I sprinkled some sugar on it, so its good.”

Her brother forked a slice of tomato and gave it to her.

Bada barely held herself back from grinning from ear to ear and grabbed the hand in a delicate fashion.

She was about to get a scolding, but thankfully, she managed to avoid it.

Hooray.

Bada thought that this was the moment and started speaking.

She thought that there was a need to switch the topic at hand.

“But you told me something about Sora shooting a movie”

“She wants to apply for the youth film festival.”

“She might be cocky, but shes good when it comes to work.

She was the class president too.

Everyone didnt want to do it, but she raised her hand and even volunteered for it.”

Bada chewed the tomato properly before swallowing it.

“So, are you going to do it”

“Im not sure about that yet.”

“Do you want to do it”

“Itll be a good experience, so yeah.”

“Dont tell me youre doing it because youve taken a liking to Sora.

Ill tell big sis immediately if thats the case.”

“Why dont you write a novel instead, huh.”

“Just saying.

Shes not that pretty.”

“She looked cute in her own way though”

“Oppa!”

“Just saying.”

Bada frowned and bared her fangs.

Her brother scratched his eyebrows before turning his gaze.

“Should I not do it”

“Oh I thought you said it would be a good experience.

Then you should do it.”

“But I thought you hated her.”

“Oppa, do you still take me for a middle school student Im not that childish anymore.

Ive grown up now.

I know that Kang Sora, that girl, is a cocky one, but I can turn a blind eye to that.

Also, even though shes cocky, she was never someone who would put less than full effort into something she wants to do.”

“Thats a decent evaluation, coming from you.”

“I told you, Im a grown up now.

You should learn from me and not let your personal feelings interfere with your work, okay”

“Yeah, yeah.

Ill keep that in mind.”

Smack, Bada covered her head and looked at her brother.

After smacking her head with the back of the fork, he took the empty plate and put it in the sink.

“Bring anything that needs to be washed.”

“I have a cup in my room!”

Bada pointed at her room when she saw her brother looking at her.

He sighed before going to her room.

She won this battle.

Bada smiled in satisfaction and changed the TV channel.

* * *

Before Maru closed the door, he looked at Bada, who was sitting in the living room.

She looked like she did her best to put up a pretense, but it was so obvious to him.

‘How cute.

He closed the door before sitting down on his bed.

He got a basic grasp of what Sora was like.

She was someone who was filled with confidence.

It also didnt seem like she was just all talk.

While she didnt seem to have a good relationship with his sister, he couldnt evaluate her personality just based on that.

He needed some experience with that girl to know what she was really like.

It was very dangerous to evaluate someone based on someone elses opinions.

He took out his phone and looked for Koo Andos number.

Since he got to know about Sora a little, it was the club presidents turn now.

He had to know about what was going on in the film production club before he accepted or denied their offer.

-Hello

Maru greeted first when he heard that voice.

“Is this Mr.

Koo Andos phone”

-Yes.

Im Koo Ando.

“Then thats fine.

Im Han Maru.

Can you take the call right now”
