The man looked rather desperate. Seeing the man on his knees in the middle of the summer heat, Yoon couldn’t help but feel troubled.
Seeing him anxiously waiting for her response, dripping in sweat, she couldn’t help but feel pity.
“So I just need to stand in the background?”
“Okay, that’s fine!”
The man, with his head bowed, flashed a triumphant smile.
“Yes, you just have to stand at the back. And the shooting time is, at most, three, no, two… two hours will be enough.”
The man said, keeping an eye on Yoon’s reactions.
“Will my face be visible? Because it can’t be.”
She was a teacher and wondered if it was okay for her to appear in a drama.
“Almost not. You’ll be standing at the very back. You’ll be one of the women held captive in the scene where the female lead is kidnapped. You’ll appear in the background. Your role is someone who dies when a house collapses. Of course, you won’t actually be crushed.”

The man stuttered, avoiding her gaze. His face was covered in sweat and dust.
“Please save me.”
Then he bowed his head deeply again. Yoon sighed.
“Sigh, alright, now please get up.”
“Thank you.”
The man even bowed 90 degrees. With no other choice, Yoon followed the man into the set.
Kyung Hwa delivered Kang Hyun’s clothes without delay, and Kang Hyun immediately went into shooting. It was the same outfit connected to the previous scene, and unfortunately, he had left it behind.
“Where is madam?”
“She’s gone. It was fortunate that madam was at home.”
Kyung Hwa let out a sigh of relief. Today was the day for Kang Hyun’s action scenes, so they were particularly nervous.

Of course, the stuntman did the extremely dangerous scenes, but Kang Hyun did most of the reasonable ones himself.
In fact, Kang Hyun preferred the action scenes. He didn’t have to painstakingly capture emotions on each facial expression; he could simply use his body.
Of course, there was the risk of injury, but he preferred dynamic shooting. That’s why he had insisted on action movies all this while.
Meanwhile, while Kang Hyun was engrossed in shooting, Yoon was in the makeup room.
“You could debut as a girl group member right now.”
The woman applying her makeup continuously showered her with compliments.
She wore a striking red offshoulder checkered dress. The string around her waist accentuated her figure, giving her a fresh and lively feel.
With the addition of red slingback shoes, a shade lighter than her dress, everyone exclaimed that she looked like a fairy.
‘What’s going on?’
She was set to die not long after her entrance when the roof would collapse. Why were they putting so much effort into her makeup and costume? Yoon started to feel uneasy.

“The shooting will begin soon. Please get ready.”
Just then, someone knocked on the door of the makeup room and yelled. The staff’s hands quickened their pace.
They gathered her long hair into a ponytail at the top of her head. As a result, her eyes seemed to lift, giving her a fierce look. Yoon found her reflection in the mirror very unfamiliar.
‘Oh, Seo Yoon, you’re too softhearted.’
She resented herself for being unable to refuse the man’s desperate gaze. The assistant director on the site was almost always treated harshly.
She herself was in the early years of her career. Although her job wasn’t as grueling as his, she felt a certain sense of camaraderie and ended up causing a mess.
‘I’m lucky my scenes don’t overlap with Kang Hyun’s.’
Still, she was worried about what might happen if she caught Kang Hyun’s eye.
‘Well, it’s not like this happened on purpose.’
What worried her more was the prospect of her face being prominently captured on the screen. Although she was an extra, her makeup and costume were the most noticeable.

At least her makeup was heavy, she found solace in the fact that even if her face did show up, it wouldn’t be recognizable.
“Come out now.”
The shooting location was not far from the waiting room. It was a shoot taking place in a place decorated like an abandoned house. It seemed so realistic it gave her chills.
Seo Yoon stood at the very back of the group, trying to keep her face out of the shot as much as possible.
“You won’t be seen if you stand there,” said a girl with an innocent face.
“I don’t want to be seen.”
“Why?”
“I’m a standin.”
Everyone else were aspiring actors, eager to show their faces, even if just a little. But they were pleased when Seo Yoon offered to step back.
The shooting, which was supposed to start soon, was delayed over and over. The tense atmosphere among the extras started to relax, and they began to chat.

“Do you think we’ll get to see Cha Kang Hyun?”
“We’re all supposed to die before Cha Kang Hyun comes. I wonder if we’ll be able to see him.”
“That’s right. I really wanted to see him…”
They were all slated to die before Kang Hyun came to rescue Shin Young Joo, which relieved Seo Yoon.
“I don’t know how long we’re going to have to wait. Shin Young Joo has to come eventually, right? Even if we don’t get to see Cha Kang Hyun, we’ll definitely get to see Shin Young Joo.”
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
