HE FELL asleep.
Yun Dujun didn’t know how to feel at the mont.
He was a bit frustrated that Bae Wonyoung fell asleep after seducing him.
But the disappointnt didn’t last long.
First of all, getting worked up in that place he shared with his son wasn’t a good idea.
Second, Bae Wonyoung looked so cute while sleeping.
Hence, all the lewd thoughts in Yun Dujun’s head disappeared.
At least, Hoobae-nim didn’t turn off the video call.
That silent yet precious mont got him thinking.
"You asked if I liked you romantically, Hoobae-nim," Yun Dujun whispered to himself, tracing Bae Wonyoung’s sleeping face with his finger on the screen. "I’m not yet sure, but if it will stop you from divorcing , then maybe it isn’t a bad thing to like you."
***
DAMMIT, I fell asleep.
Wonyoung was shocked when he woke up, rembering that he was supposed to seduce Yun Dujun last night.
Obviously, he failed.
Worse, he woke up with his phone already ’dead.’
"I’m never drinking again."
After Wonyoung made that promise to himself, he imdiately charged his phone.
Then he took a bath.
He ca out an hour later, checking his phone right away.
His heart kinda acted up when he saw a few ssages from Yun Dujun.
Oh.
It wasn’t even 8AM, so it must be midnight in Finland.
But since Yun Dujun told him not to worry about ti, he decided to call the Alpha.
I’ll hang up if Sunbae-nim doesn’t pick up after three calls—
"You’re awake, Hoobae-nim?"
Oh.
Yun Dujun picked up the call just after two rings.
"You’re still awake, Sunbae-nim?"
"I was waiting for your call."
Aigoo.
"I’m sorry, Sunbae-nim," Wonyoung said shyly. "I fell asleep when I was the one who started it."
"Started what exactly?"
"You know what I’m talking about, Sunbae-nim."
"No, I don’t."
Aigoo.
Obviously, Yun Dujun was teasing him.
"I seduced Sunbae-nim," Wonyoung said, his cheeks flushed. "But I fell asleep. I’m sorry."
"It’s alright."
"Really?"
"Well, not really. I’ll admit I was disappointed. But I don’t want you to be bothered by it, Hoobae-nim."
Wonyoung bead, grinning like an idiot.
Hehe.
I would have been disappointed had Dujun Sunbae-nim said he was fine. After all, it would an he didn’t get work up when I seduced him last night.
"I’ll make it up to you, Sunbae-nim."
"When and where?"
Wonyoung couldn’t help but smile at how eager Yun Dujun sounded. "As soon as you return, Sunbae-nim. Please rent a nice villa for us."
Yes, I’m being bold.
But Wonyoung’s heart was thumping hard and fast against his chest while anticipating Yun Dujun’s response.
"Sure, I’ll buy the nicest villa for you, Hoobae-nim."
Pfft.
Wonyoung laughed at Yun Dujun’s joke.
He’s joking, right?
***
"APPA, good luck on your work."
Aigoo.
Wonyoung was touched that An Baekya woke up early just to wish him luck.
The call ti for his first day of shooting was 3AM.
So, he didn’t expect the kid to wake up that early.
"Thank you, Baekya," Wonyoung said, squatting down to et the child’s eye level. "You can go back to sleep now. Your Uncle George will accompany you again to your acting lesson. I’m not sure what ti the filming will end, so I might not be able to pick you up. If I can’t make it, your Uncle George will drive you ho."
"I understand, Appa," An Baekya said, nodding. "Don’t worry about . Uncle George is nice to . He teaches English when we have ti."
"I’m glad to hear that."
"Where are you filming today, Appa?" An Baekya asked curiously. "And why is your call ti so early?"
"It’s because the make-up artists have to transform the extras into zombies," Wonyoung said excitedly. "We’re going to film in a hanok village in Ikseondong, so I’m pretty pumped."
***
"WONYOUNG-ssi, aren’t you cold?"
"I’m fine, Myung-ssi," Wonyoung said, still looking around the filming site. "It’s been a while since I’ve been in a hanok village, so I want to absorb the scenery while it’s still quiet here."
The Ikseondong hanok village was pretty.
It was located in Seoul, so it didn’t completely give him the feeling that he was back to the Joseon Dynasty.
However, the traditional hanok architecture was still charming.
I rember the ti I fild a costu drama in the other world.
It was fun.
"At least wear your jacket, Wonyoung-ssi," Han Myung said while draping his jacket over his shoulders. "Our boss will worry if you get sick. Plus, I might get fired if you fall ill while I’m watching you."
Wonyoung laughed softly. "I don’t think Dujun Sunbae-nim will fire you for sothing like that."
"Our boss doesn’t play about you, Wonyoung-ssi."
Wonyoung just grinned, delighted by the fact that Han Myung could see that Yun Dujun treasured him.
Anyway...
The staff mbers were still setting up the props and the caras.
anwhile, the makeup artists and the stylists were busy turning the other extras into zombies.
Since Wonyoung was the first to arrive, he got his makeup done first.
Yes, I look like a zombie now.
He also wore tattered hoodies and ripped jeans.
Yeah, the music video is set in a modern setting. That’s why I don’t understand yet why the location is a hanok village.
It wasn’t like the extras were given a script.
Director Jin just told us to dance like zombies later.
He actually dreaded the mont.
Choreographer DJ is the one teaching us the dance moves later, after all.
And that choreographer hated Wonyoung.
"Are you the lead actor who’s going to act as my zombie lover?"
Huh?
Wonyoung was surprised when a tall and beautiful woman suddenly appeared before him.
Long, red hair.
Slightly tanned skin.
Strong presence.
And the scent coming from her...
Oh, she’s an Alpha.
Han Myung subtly protected him by putting an arm in front of him as if separating him from the stranger.
But this lady looks familiar?
"Omo, omo. You’re looking at as if you don’t know ..." The woman trailed off, and then his eyes widened a bit. "Oh, you really don’t know , huh?"
Wonyoung could only smile awkwardly.
We signed an NDA, but the director didn’t tell us who the star of the music video is. He just told us that we’ll be surprised.
"Wonyoung-ssi, this lady is Sumr-ssi," Han Myung whispered to Wonyoung. "She used to be a part of a four-mber girl group called Season Girls. They debuted five years ago, but they disbanded just last year. Now Sumr-ssi is a soloist."
Oh.
She debuted five years ago, so I didn’t recognize her. I don’t listen to K-pop that much, so I’m not familiar with idols.
That was a mistake.
I should start watching other celebrities, not just actors and actresses.
"Hello, Sumr-nim," Wonyoung greeted the soloist politely, bowing his head. "I’m Bae Wonyoung, an extra."
"What?" Sumr asked in disbelief. "You’re just an extra?"
"Yes, ma’am."
"How co you’re just an extra with that face?"
"My face?" Wonyoung asked, confused, as he lifted his head. "But I’m wearing a zombie makeup look, ma’am."
Sumr laughed as if she were amused. "Wonyoung-ssi, how old are you?"
"I’m 27, ma’am."
"Then no need to be so formal with . I’m 23," Sumr said, still smiling. "Can I call you ’Oppa?’"
"I don’t mind, ma’am."
"You’re making look old when you call ’ma’am,’ Oppa."
"Then... Sumr-ssi?"
"I’d prefer it if you call in a friendlier manner, but I guess that’s fine for now," Sumr said cheerfully. "Oppa, even with the zombie look, you still look handso as heck. Why are you an extra and not the male lead?"
Wonyoung scratched his cheek. "Only the role of an extra was available when I saw the ad, so I just auditioned for whatever role was up for grabs."
***
CHANGDEOKGUNG PALACE.
Wonyoung wanted to take pictures of the palace while the extras on a break.
But he couldn’t even bring out his phone because of the tension in the set.
Director Jin Gangseok and the music video’s lead actors— Sumr and a handso Alpha with the stage na ’Jason’ (yes, he was mixed)— were having an argunt.
"Why are the two of you so distracted?" Director Jin Gangseok asked, frustrated. The director’s voice echoed in the hallway. "Sumr-ssi, you’re usually good at acting. You, too, Jason. Your chemistry during our first eting was there. Where is it now?"
"Director, can we change the script?" Sumr asked. "To be precise, can we change the lead actor?"
"Sumr-ssi, how can you say that in front of Jason-ssi?"
"No, it’s totally fine with , Director Jin," Jason said, a hint of ’accent’ in his Korean. It was obvious that the man wasn’t that fluent in Hangul yet. "In fact, I agree with Sumr’s suggestion. We talked about it earlier and we kind of wanted to change the direction of the music video."
"What are you two talking about?"
"Director Jin, we want Wonyoung Oppa to be the new male lead!"
Wonyoung whipped his head in the direction of the three and was a bit flustered when he saw them looking at him. "?" he asked, stupefied, while pointing at himself. "But why ?"

SONG TITLE: Love You to Death
Artist: Sumr
Summary: In a post-apocalyptic world, Sumr tries to keep her zombie boyfriend hidden from the other survivors. In the end, will a true love’s kiss be enough to turn her zombie boyfriend human again?
Oh.
"A kiss?"
Wonyoung only realized that he had asked that out loud when Sumr responded.
"Yep, there’s a kissing scene in the script," Sumr answered cheerfully. "We’re going to have a passionate kiss at the end of the music video, Wonyoung Oppa~"
