“PD, didn’t you say before that each member of our team is a lucky charm? Suddenly calling me the biggest lucky charm, wow… I’m starting to feel a bit upset.”
Even as Kang PD was laughing heartily with Hyun-su, the deep smile on his face showed no signs of leaving.
Jeong, who had been watching this familiar scene in our team, casually asked.
“PD, what’s the matter? You seem to be in a really good mood.”
At Jeong’s remark, PD Kang’s eyes started to sparkle as if he had been waiting to spill the news.
“Our Haru’s first love is Director Mats, isn’t it? The Korean-Japanese film director Kim Jun. I hear his fame is now spreading worldwide, right? Beyond borders, far and wide.”
“Ah, yes. That’s right.”
Since this was already a known fact, Jeong’s response was naturally much less dramatic than PD Kang’s excitement.
“That person has agreed to direct our program. You know, I’ve always had a knack for these things, quick on the uptake and all.”
I wondered what news could warrant such a long introduction.
Jun is a greater director than I had imagined. His fame is not only in Japan but now in Hollywood too, with love calls pouring in – all this I knew too well.
That he had taken on the role of director for our team’s project, squeezing it into his tightly packed schedule, even giving up something else unknown to me – I knew all this too.
“This upcoming video about Haru’s first love story, directed by Kim Jun, looks like it might be made into a movie. Is this the power of Kim Jun, the rising star of the film world we’ve only heard about?”
“A movie?”
As I suddenly stood up from my seat, all eyes turned towards me.
“That’s right. I recently met with a few heads of production companies, and every single one of them is eager to take on the project. They’re all wondering how Kim Jun’s next work ended up going that way. I’ve already contacted Director Kim for an investment review with just a 40-page script, but it seems like it will be smoothly approved. There are already companies willing to put down a deposit.”
Until now, PD Kang hadn’t even broached the subject of showing me the script, let alone discussing investment reviews. Yet today, he casually started talking about it as if he were just mentioning the electricity bill.
“Sigh, a movie, huh. The stakes really rise when a celebrity director joins.”
Jeong cynically spun a pen in his fingers while speaking, but I could feel the pleasant tremor in his voice. For someone in this industry, this would be a precious experience that money can’t buy.
But the project, originally planned as a one-hour broadcast program, turning into a movie? The scale of the project had grown uncomfortably large.
Jun must know about this. He has somehow become the focal point of this project. So, this must be something he has already agreed to. Kim Jun, what are you really thinking…
“First off, the schedule is quite tight. Director Kim says he needs to complete all the filming by July. It’s still uncertain, but the project might first appear as a special edition on our NJ TV drama platform, and if things go well, it could be released immediately. We’ll see how it goes.”
Suddenly, PD Kang’s gaze fixated on me.
“Can you see why Haru seems like the biggest lucky charm? Haru managed to snag such an incredible first love. I’ve always felt it, you know. Haru has a great eye. Even back then, I could see it. This guy is a promising tree. In 9 years, he’ll surely contribute to my career. Haha, just kidding, just kidding.”
That kind of joke was not funny at all.
When Jeong and I first planned the “Where Is Your First Love Now?” project, I never imagined my story would be selected for the first episode.
When I turned the winding mountain roads to revisit the house in Japan where I had homestayed, I never thought Jun would still be managing that house.
That Jun would take on the role of the video director, and that I would go to that house to meet Jun, and then meeting him… tying up the loose ends of our long first love.
I never dreamed it would come to this.
And above all, I never imagined you would doubt the sincerity in my feelings in those memories we shared…
“Ah, right. Haru, Director Kim must have arrived in Korea today, you must have already been in contact, right? So, are you going to start working on the screenplay right away?”
“……What?”
“Director Kim is so busy, his schedule in Korea must be packed. But I’m sure you two have already discussed and adjusted your schedules accordingly.”
It was news to me. So, Jun is in Korea right now?
I tried to maintain a nonchalant expression under PD Kang’s watchful gaze, even though I was genuinely surprised.
Schedule adjustment? There’s no way I could have done that with Jun, especially since I didn’t even know he was coming to Korea.
In the midst of all this, I didn’t know how to react to PD Kang repeatedly calling me the “lucky charm”.
At that moment, I picked up my phone not because of some faint hope that Jun might have contacted me.
Where do I even rank in your tightly packed schedule, or am I even a consideration? With a feeling of emptiness similar to disappointment and without any real expectation, I swiped across the screen.
And then I saw an email at the top of the list.
[Haru]It was an email sent by Jun.
