Thinking that K was saying unnecessary things in his tired state, Taeseok didn’t have the mental space to deal with it. The three characters of Choi Yeoreum alone were heavy enough, and he couldn’t handle the name Kim Young-sik.
“If there’s anything unusual, let me know. Let’s end this.”
Summoning courage, he connected the external hard drive, and Summer appeared on the screen. His heart dropped at the sight of her sitting at a bus stop, looking at the distant sky.
There was also a photo of her crying by the beach.
Perhaps on that day, the next day, and most of the days, he had prayed for her life to be tough and difficult, if possible.
The fact that Summer, whom he couldn’t find even if he poured money, was just a 4-hour drive away by the sea was truly heartbreaking.
Being so close… daring to hack the phone and prevent tracking. That crazy woman. Rage and despair flooded him simultaneously.
“Really… she lived so boldly.”
Summer on the monitor remained silent.
“She must have been lonely.”
Watching the time he had abandoned her in this way, it seemed that love had become resentment. Perhaps Summer never wanted to see Seo Taeseok again.
But boldly entering the drama, seizing the lead role, sleeping through the script, scheming to torment him, she acted so wickedly.
“Even if there were lingering feelings, they must have cooled off.”
There’s nothing to resent. It was a situation he brought upon himself.
Now, he thinks it’s the moment they should truly part ways. Though he packaged it convincingly under the name of love, in reality, his selfish feelings were nothing more than arrogance, not even worthy of approaching her.
“But how can I let you go.”
A selfish person until the end.
The ugly heart, knotted with pride, only entertained contradictory thoughts even in such a moment. As he recalled the letters wishing her to meet a better man and live happily, simultaneously, he felt the urge to strangle Cheon Ji-hyeok’s neck.
Her eyes, lips, the long, white neck, and the thought of another guy’s lips touching her between her fingers ignited such rage that his forehead heated up.
As he recalled the secret whispers and numerous nights shared between lovers, along with the secret expressions and voices only he knew, an unbearable sense of jealousy overwhelmed him.
He couldn’t admit the fact that there could be a man better than himself.
Despite the thought of needing to let go.
Unable to do so, his throat felt dry, as if lying on a desert. Taeseok approached the refrigerator and poured a strong drink. He practically poured it down his throat. It was sharp on his senses.
It was a night when he fell asleep without any thoughts, not wanting to wake up. Eventually, Taeseok took a few more tranquilizers and fell asleep.
However, inevitably, his eyes opened. His head hurt more from the alcohol, and the morning, with a more cloudy mind from the medicine, was a very uncomfortable feeling.
Moreover, it was a day with a lot of filming. Led by Director Hong, Taeseok stopped by a shop and quickly got on the van. He was almost like a pack mule.
“You overslept. We are very late.”
Director Hong drove somewhat roughly, causing Taeseok to shake.
“Can you do it? Today’s shoot involves a traffic accident.”
“Yeah.”
Taeseok, who effortlessly handled rough actions, replied somewhat nonchalantly. His agility and physical fitness were unmatched by anyone.
Taeseok, who was serious to the point of danger unless it was a particularly risky scene, often ran himself instead of using a stunt double. The more stunt doubles there were, the lower the quality of the scene in the drama, and Taeseok, who had no tolerance for slackness, was meticulous about the work.
“You look completely out of it.”
“I can do it for a day or two. It’s fine.”
“The rolling will be done by the stunt double.”
Director Hong, who arrived at the filming location, parked the car with a thud.
Blocking about 1 km of a quiet national highway on the outskirts of Gyeonggi Province, the filming team was busy with preparations. After checking the script and action once again, Taeseok inspected the car he would be driving. He didn’t forget to greet the stunt actors.
“Actor Seo.”
The director approached Taeseok and said.
“How’s your condition?”
“It’s good.”
The director lightly patted Taeseok’s shoulder.
“Hyun-jun finds a friend who cheated him by chance and quickly chases after him. You should show complex emotions with anger and desperation. Let’s start with a bust shot.”
“Understood.”
Filming on the road had many time constraints, so it needed to be done quickly. It was best if there were no variables like retakes.
Taeseok approached the shoot with a more tense attitude than usual. Thanks to that, the filming proceeded smoothly. After finishing the bust shot, they began preparations for the actual collision scene.
“The collision will be done by the stunt double. Taeseok will only go up until the moment of impact.”
The director explained.
“…Is it very dangerous? I mean, I could just…”
As Taeseok expressed a slight desire, Director Hong shot him a warning look.
“Uh… It’s on the challenging side.”
The director said after a brief pause.
“Don’t push yourself since there’s a stunt double. We have many other filming schedules.”
Taeseok couldn’t insist any further.
“Now, we’ll have a chase for about 500 meters from here. The assistant director will signal just before the collision.”
Taeseok quickly grasped the situation and got into the car. Even though he wouldn’t directly collide, the chase itself had a considerable sense of speed, so he pressed the accelerator with special attention to safety.
His head was buzzing, and his mind was a bit dazed, but it was somewhat satisfying. He felt like throwing everything away, but experiencing the wind made him feel alive. After driving about 200 meters, he increased the speed a bit more.
Screech! Dash! Bang!
Suddenly, the right front tire made a bang and crumpled, accompanied by a burst of mysterious smoke.
At the same time, the car, unable to match the speed, rolled quickly. Starting with the director holding the megaphone, all the staff stood up simultaneously. Some rushed quickly, and there was someone calling 119.
“Ahh!”
“What should we do?”
Taeseok’s car, unable to reduce the speed at all, crashed into the guardrail and bounced off into the ditch next to the national highway. Flying through the air, the completely wrecked car broke a tree and got stuck in the thicket.
“Taeseok!”
Director Hong rushed like a madman. The filming location turned into chaos in an instant.
