After the white Christmas, the end of the year was approaching.

Korea was buzzing with award ceremonies.

[MBS, Will the 6-episode ‘Spring Has Returned’ Win an Award?]

[MBS, Considering a New Award Category?]

[The Most Talked-About Drama of the Year, ‘Spring Has Returned’]

[The Discovery of New Actors? The 4-episode ‘Tomorrow’]

[Will Actor Lee Seo-jun, Who is Filming the Hollywood Movie ‘Survivors’, Attend?]

-MBS Drama Awards, looking forward to itㅎㅎ

=22 MBS swept the drama scene this year.

=The dramas that aired after Spring Has Returned were also pretty good.

-I bet Seo-jun will win all the viewer-voted awardsㅎㅎ

-MBS is creating a new award category. It seems like it will end this year.

=22 It’s probably for Spring Has Returned and Tomorrow, which boosted the ratings since the beginning of the year. They might not have it next year.

=But they both deserve it. They had more buzz and ratings than the usual 16 or 20-episode dramas.

-ㅋㅋ Tomorrow wouldn’t have gotten this much attention if it wasn’t for Spring Has Returnedㅋㅋ It’s because they aired together.

=Well, I agree a little bit. But Tomorrow was fun too. The actors did well too.

-But Seo-jun won’t be able to come, right?

=He has a filming schedule, so he can’t come. The flight time is over ten hours.

=ㅠㅠㅠ

***

December 30th.

The MBS Drama Awards began.

The red carpet was filled with dazzling actors one by one.

The fans who were watching the red carpet from start to finish, hoping that Seo-jun might make a surprise appearance, drooped their shoulders.

-I guess Seo-jun won’t come after all.

-Seo-junㅠㅠ Work hard on filmingㅠㅠ

[MBS Drama Awards Part 1 Ends!]

[The Acceptance Speeches of the Newcomer Award Winners!]

[The Actors Who Won the Excellence Awards for Monday-Tuesday and Wednesday-Thursday Series!]

-…They’re not giving awards to Tomorrow and Spring Has Returned?

=They said they’ll do it in part 2.

=Well, that makes sense. We’re still watching it tooㅎㅎ

=22 I was going to sleep after seeing Seo-jun win an award… MBS…!

-As expected, there are a lot of adsㅎㅎ

The MBS Drama Awards Part 2 started with an idol performance.

“Hello, viewers. I’m actor Park Do-hoon,”

“Yoon Hye-in.”

Park Do-hoon and Yoon Hye-in, who came out as special MCs, greeted with a smile.

And then Kang Tae-young appeared on the screen.

He was sitting in the audience.

The cheers erupted at the appearance of the main actors of ‘Spring Has Returned’.

[Special Drama Category. Excellence Award.]

The 4-episode Tomorrow and the 6-episode Spring Has Returned were combined into a ‘Special Drama Category’.

A male newcomer award came out from ‘Tomorrow’ and Jung Bo-ram from ‘Spring Has Returned’ received a female newcomer award.

Everyone applauded for Jung Bo-ram, who was smiling brightly.

“Special Drama Category. Excellence Award.”

Park Do-hoon opened his mouth with a smile.

“Actor Lee Seo-jun for the role of Yoo Sung-jin. Congratulations!”

Fireworks went off and Lee Ji-seok, who was asked to receive the award on behalf of Seo-jun, went up on stage.

He received the trophy instead of Seo-jun and spoke in front of the microphone with a smile.

“I’ll receive the award on his behalf and deliver it to him, but we can’t miss his acceptance speech.”

Lee Ji-seok’s words made the PD who was in charge of the drama awards clasp his hands together.

He had checked several times for this moment.

“Please don’t let anything go wrong…!”

While the viewers were bewildered, the screen behind Lee Ji-seok, where [Special Drama Category, Excellence Award] was written, turned black.

[Hello, viewers. I’m actor Lee Seo-jun.]

The screen that had turned black brightened up and Lee Seo-jun appeared.

Some fans screamed at the sight of Seo-jun’s neat hair and bright sky outside the window.

-Is this a video?!

-Wow. Is it live or recorded?

-It looks like live?! It’s dawn in LA right now…!

Some fans who saw Seo-jun’s face shining in the morning sun on the screen screamed.

Song Yu-jung also answered the phone from Lim Ye-na, who called in a flash, and talked enthusiastically about Seo-jun’s glowing appearance.

His face looked more refreshing because it was morning.

[I’m sorry to greet you with a video. This is LA and it’s still morning. But I woke up early and watched the MBS Drama Awards. Congratulations to everyone who won.]

Lee Seo-jun, who had an earphone in one ear, spoke with a smile.

[I think the reason why such a short drama of 6 episodes became so popular was thanks to the interest and love of the viewers. I didn’t expect to win an award because my appearance was too short, but I got it thanks to the viewers. I’m really happy.]

Seo-jun’s sincerity was felt beyond the video.

[Haha. There are so many people I want to thank that it’s a big problem. PD Gong Hee-chan, writer Yoo Cheonga. Thank you for making such a good work. Thank you to all the staff and actors who worked and acted with me. Thank you very much to the viewers who loved Spring Has Returned. I want to show you more amazing acting in the future.]

Lee Seo-jun in the screen smiled brightly.

[Actor Lee Seo-jun, Best Couple Award, Excellence Award Winner!]

[Actor Lee Seo-jun, Netizen’s Choice, Popularity Award Winner!]

***

The new year came and the filming of ‘Survivors’ resumed.

“Hello.”

Lee Seo-jun entered the set.

There seemed to be more staff than usual on the set today.

Seo-jun and Anh Da Ho, who were tilting their heads, approached the set and gasped in admiration.

“The set is bigger today.”

“Yeah.”

Today’s set was different from usual. If the usual set was wide sideways, today’s set was wide sideways and high upwards. The set that was raised by 1 meter seemed to require acting by climbing up the stairs. There were stairs around.

“The cameras and lights are all up there too.”

Seo-jun’s words made Anh Da Ho look up.

As the height of the set increased, the cameras that had to film the actors on top of it, as well as the lights that had to shine a proper light and the microphones that had to record the actors’ voices, had to be installed higher than usual.

Especially, the camera had to go up with the cinematographer who operated it, so there was a machine that looked like a lift.

“They prepared a lot.”

A new voice made Seo-jun turn around.

“Oh, Davis.”

“Hi, Jun. You came early?”

“I like sets.”

Seo-jun smiled shyly and Davis Garrett smiled back.

“Hello!”

Davis Garrett and Seo-jun, who were talking about today’s scene while looking at the set that was being finalized, turned around at the cheerful greeting.

They both smiled already, feeling like they knew who it was by voice alone.

“Hi, Andy.”

Andrew Walker smiled brightly at the sight of Seo-jun Lee and Davis Garrett greeting him with a smile.

***

“Ready, action!”

Boom!!

Before they could even swear at the sound of another bomb, people collapsed to the floor.

The vibration of the floor was not good.

“…Why do we hear the sound from here?!”

The explosion came from somewhere else.

It was not the south shopping district, the west restaurant district, or the east movie theater that had already exploded.

It was not the north amusement park that they thought was the last escape route either.

It was an unexpected place.

It was underground.

People were stunned by the explosion from below and screams were heard.

The vibration of the floor was not good.

Thud thud, something like sand fell from the ceiling and cracks began to appear on the floor and ceiling.

“Oh, God…!”

As a gap cracked open, revealing the gray cement under the white tiles, someone called out to God.

The pillars of the underground were not as sturdy as those of the buildings above ground.

People who had been crouching down in the shaking got up hesitantly.

They had faces that realized that they could not sit still.

They looked around with stunned faces and searched for an exit.

If the explosions so far were to block the entrance, then the explosions from now on were,

“…The building is going to collapse…!”

They were for collapse.

People who had been relieved that they had a chance to live gasped.

A sobbing sound was heard.

A scream was heard.

There were people who said something to Raymond Wish.

There were opinions that they should go to the way Raymond found right away.

Among the people who were struggling to survive,

Lee Hyun-woo, who had been crouching down, raised his hand and covered his ears.

It was hell.

***

Boom!!

A shock that was incomparable to before hit the building again.

The screams of survivors who had been isolated in various places in the south, east, and west echoed in the building, but they did not reach where it was blocked.

The floor where people were standing cracked.

People tried to back away with a scream at an alarming speed, but the floor collapsed faster than their movement.

Ahhhh!!

People who disappeared screaming and those who remained had stunned faces and leaned against the wall.

But the wall was not safe either.

A large wall pushed by the explosion crushed a person who was leaning on it.

People who saw that horrible sight screamed.

“Ian!”

Cynthia Lindberg called out to Ian.

Jackson Miller also watched Lee Hyun-woo, who was crouching in a corner.

But they could not do anything more.

They did not know which part of the floor would collapse or which part of the wall would fall.

The rough breathing of anxious people was buried by the sound of collapsing building.

There was nothing people could do in a huge disaster.

At the moment when Raymond Wish, who had been checking the situation, tried to shout something,

The floor collapsed.

Before people who were standing on it could react,

Dark black darkness swallowed them up.

***

“Cut, okay!”

At Jeffrey’s shout, actors who had been hiding under the set with bated breath peeked out one by one.

The actor who played the role of being crushed by a wall crawled out of a gap prepared under it.

Staff laughed at the sight of actors ‘reviving’ one by one.

The set that was higher than usual was all prepared for this scene.

They laid mats of chroma key color under the set and made the floor collapse at a good timing.

That way, it would look like actors really disappeared into the floor.

The rest would be done with CG.

Vanessa Olsen, who came out of a hole in the set, lightly pressed her hand over her pounding heart.

“I was a little surprised even though we rehearsed. Are you okay, Andy?”

“I had fun!”

Andrew answered cheerfully to Vanessa Olsen’s worry.

Andrew’s flushed cheeks and sparkling eyes seemed to tell his sincerity.

“What about Jun?”

Seo-jun smiled and said.

He missed and enjoyed this dungeon-like set.

These shoddy traps were quite useful when he first made dungeons. But come to think of it, he also fell into shoddy traps a lot.

It was because he lived as both weak and strong.

“I enjoyed it too.”

“…Kids these days are bold.”

Vanessa Olsen shook her head and everyone laughed.

Hahaha.

The planning team leader of Bearound, who followed suit laughing, whispered to Director Jeffrey.

“I think you don’t have to worry anymore.”

Jeffrey director tilted his head at the sudden remark of planning team leader and planning team leader smiled broadly and said.

“It’s what actor Davis Garrett said. You haven’t changed anything so far. He must have liked your revised script. Haha. I think you can relax now!”

“Is that so?”

Jeffrey director’s gaze turned to Davis Garrett.

It was true that he was quiet for someone who had written in the contract that he would modify the script as he pleased.

There were some parts that he changed, but they were not that big.

“Then don’t worry and shoot according to the script!”

The planning team leader asserted with satisfaction at the smooth shooting.

But a few days later.

He realized that it was too hasty.

***

“Can’t you be quiet!”

Raymond Wish shouted angrily.

At his loud voice, Milan Chellen, Vanessa Olsen, and Andrew Walker were startled and looked at Davis Garrett, no, Raymond Wish.

There was Raymond Wish with a twisted face.

Their eyes shook at his face.

It’s different from the script!

“Oh. No…!”

The planning team leader screamed at the accident that happened right after he asserted to Jeffrey director.

The original scenario’s Raymond Wish was calm and cold, but also warm-hearted, and comforted Lee Hyun-woo, who was suffering from claustrophobia.

And he made him regain his senses and gave him the will to live.

In other words, ‘Raymond Wish’ played by Davis Garrett was a typical ‘hero’ in a ‘disaster movie’.

But his personality changed completely with this one line.

‘Can’t you be quiet!’

It was irritation and anger that ‘the hero of the disaster movie’ should never show to ‘the weak’.

If the character’s personality changed like this, they had to change everything from the footage they had shot so far to the contents they would shoot later.

All those thoughts flashed through the planning team leader’s head like lightning.

He had to bite his lips and scream inwardly because Jeffrey director did not shout cut yet.

‘I was careless. I was careless!’

He underestimated Davis Garrett’s reputation.

He should have kept an eye on him instead of being complacent.

He had to revise the script again and adjust the shooting schedule and make the set and find the actors… The planning team leader’s head became dizzy at the thought of working overtime.

‘…But why doesn’t he shout cut?’

The actors must have been surprised by Davis Garrett’s impromptu acting.

They couldn’t continue shooting properly with that surprise, but only screams were heard in the shooting scene, not Jeffrey Rodex director’s cut sound.

‘Screams?’

The planning team leader jerked up his body at the pain-filled screams and slowly looked up at the set.

The other staff and Jeffrey director were already staring at the set with blank faces.

“Uh… uh… ah…!”

Only one person.

An actor who continued acting along with Davis Garrett’s impromptu acting.

Lee Hyun-woo, who ‘got worse by Raymond Wish’s nervous shout’, was there.

It was Seo-jun Lee.
