115 – Preparing for a comeback (3)
A large studio in Paju.
Music video filming site.
This music video was mostly shot indoors, and the director’s intention was to compose the music video with cold colors, such as artificial ones, rather than the warm colors of natural light.
That’s why the set feels so gloomy.
“Isn’t it a little scary?”
Kim Seo-yoon pointed at me and answered.
“Oh, I’m scared.”
“I didn’t ask my sister.”
And my face reflecting the bluish light.
I applied additional white powder to my naturally transparent, pure white skin so that even the veins could be seen, and now it looked more than white and as pale as a corpse.
It feels like mercury was applied as cosmetics in the Middle Ages because it had a strong skin whitening effect without knowing it was poison.
“I think I’m too pale…”
“It’s okay. I’m going to do color correction anyway! Now is the perfect time!”
The staff around me and even the director say they like it.
Okay, the makeup artists are professional, so they probably did a good job.
What do I know?
“But Dohee, when I saw you, you looked really sick.”
Unni Seoyoon definitely agreed with me.
“Really?”
That’s right.
“Then from now on, call me sickly pretty girl.”
Kim Seo-yoon said with a straight face.
“He looks mentally ill.”
It was a deliberate build-up this year.
“Your face.”
“Yes, my face is a sickly beautiful girl.”
“Yes, no”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Ugh…
When I deal with Kim Seo-yoon, I become childish every time.
By nature, I am a very gentle and serious person.
But as an elder, I have no choice but to understand and play with him…
Okay, what should we do with Kim Seo-yoon… Ugh.
Anyway, as my pale makeup proves, our music video concept was clear and uniform.
First, the title song name changed from the working title .
Dissatisfied, not satisfied.
A story about an insatiable thirst.
I could tell just by looking at the first verse.
「My eyes are turning red
You spread through my heart like poison
The transparent thirst cannot be satisfied
The sweetness that I keep coming back for”
Of course, the melody and beat are refreshing.
As far as the lyrics go, it was a song about a fanatical obsession or a complaint that I was dying.
I guess so.
“I don’t sympathize.”
I don’t understand the speaker’s feelings.
Why are you obsessed with others?
“What?”
“I don’t understand.”
“What are you talking about alone?”
I don’t even understand Kim Seo-yoon.
“Hana is so good! I really like her expression right now!”
Meanwhile, Hana was filming a personal cut scene in our field of vision.
Surprisingly, Hana’s facial expressions are quite clean.
I think it might be an obsession that comes from practice.
‘I should try acting by projecting something other than my personality.’
In the meantime, Seoyoon taps my shoulder.
“Why?”
“The food truck has arrived. Right away?”
“Oki.”
As filming was about to end, Hana abandoned her older sister and hurried to her food car.
It wasn’t that I was avoiding Hana, who enforced a balanced diet.
‘You have to eat in advance so the staff can eat later.’
It’s all done with consideration for the staff.
Today’s lunch menu is boiled pork bossam.
Kim Seo-yoon touched my lunch tray with chopsticks.
“Aren’t you putting too much meat in it?”
“Uh huh, growing up.”
Music video shooting days are days when you can legally eat your fill without worrying about what others think.
I usually have to eat a tasteless salad.
It is important to feel as full as possible when you can eat.
‘When will I be free from diet?’
My weight has become very slim now.
What if my breasts stop growing like this?
“But do you know what, sister?”
“What?”
“Babies have a sensitive sense of taste, so they are particularly sensitive to the bitter taste of vegetables. So it’s natural for them to dislike vegetables.”
Because I am also a young sixteen.
Even if you have an aversion to salad, there is nothing you can do about it.
“It’s a problem for Harang who is a picky eater even as an adult.”
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a presence next to me.
I turned her head to see if she was Ha-rang, and there was Hana, the one we left behind, standing there.
A plate full of vegetables landed on the desk with a thud.
“So I, who likes vegetables and eats them well, am old?”
You can say so.
Tuttak.
“A little?”
“My words came out in vain.”
“Oh, don’t put vegetables on my plate.”

After filming the group dance scene.
After greeting the staff, the members packed their bags one by one.
“Dohee, we’ll get off work first~”
Hana waves her hand and leaves.
“Dohee, take care of yourselves~”
“Bye~”
Kim Seo-yoon, Jeon Ha-rang.
“hehehe, Lee Do-hee should film alone.”
“I can wait…”
“Sera, be quiet and follow me.”
Park Ye-eun, Eun Sera, Gong Chae-rin.
All members were leaving the filming set.
“No, Sarah said she would stay.”
“Sera has plans today.”
“What nonsense.”
Ignoring my pleas, Chaerin dragged Sarah away.
“Dohee… I will always wait for you… Ugh.”
‘I trusted Chae-rin.’
“Wow, how come all of our members are so unloyal?”
“Yes, you finished work yesterday too, so you left work alone~”
Kim Seo-yoon left the filming set for the last time.
Heartless b*tches.
I wonder if at least one person should remain.
“Manager, is this the right team?”
Team leader Oh Hyun-soo, who stayed for me, smiled.
“I like my kids because they are cute and friendly.”
It’s so harmonious.
***
I was left alone and started shooting personal cut scenes.
From noble mtl dot com
The rest of the filming was a little special for me.
Underwater filming.
Outside the studio.
A swimming pool installed by the staff.
A structure where one side is transparent, like an aquarium.
It was quite deep and large as it was made for underwater filming.
The director said that it depicts a dreamlike scene where one feels thirsty even when submerged in water.
The most important thing is that it will come out pretty.
I was a bit tempted to say that it looked pretty, but I was still worried.
It’s still the middle of winter.
Early February.
Why did you have to film underwater late at night?
‘It’s going to be really cold.’
Of course, the stove was ready.
It was very cold in the water.
‘I have to keep this in mind…’
“I’ll turn on the lights!”
The staff who installed the lights illuminated the swimming pool.
The sky-blue water surface glows even brighter in contrast to the darkness of the late night.
Light scattered here and there along the lapping waves.
‘It sure looks pretty.’
And even the sparkling glitter applied to the face for this photoshoot.
It seemed like it would shine dazzlingly as it was reflected by the wave-patterned lights flowing in the water.
“Okay, I’ll stretch first and then go in!”
After hearing the warnings, I took a few deep breaths and slowly entered the water.
A swimming pool as deep as my height.
My body trembled as soon as my feet touched it.
Of course, it wasn’t a phobia of water.
I was just shaking because it was so f*cking cold.
“Can you try lying on the floor? Yes! Great!”
“Good job!”
“Oh, it’s so pretty!”
The problem other than the cold was that I could see the anxious and worried looks of the staff outside through the transparent glass wall, which made me laugh and keep exhaling.
“Your eyes sting, right? But you still have to open them! That’s right!”
“Good job! Lee Do-hee!”
More than anything, the manager keeps telling me that he’s doing a good job, which makes me laugh out loud.
“Do you want to grab the hem of your clothes and let them fly? Great!”
Even though it was a difficult underwater shoot, we received immediate feedback and support from the production crew, and fortunately, the shoot proceeded smoothly without any delays.

My hair fluttering along with the flowing waves.
A sparkly white dress.
Glitter reflects the light and shines dazzlingly.
A face that sparkles under the wave-shaped lighting.
“Director, shall we take one more shot? I think I can do really well this time…”
The more I took pictures of myself on the monitoring screen, the more greedy I became.
It was a desire to leave something prettier.
I understand a little what maniacal obsession is like.
“…Dohee, you’re so. Enough. A lot. Pretty. You’ll catch a cold now, so let’s stop.”
“I can still do it…”
The director cut me off.
“Now, let’s quickly clean up and get off work!”
I thought it would be really pretty if I added a little more…
I had no choice but to pack my luggage.
“Thank you for your hard work!”
Of course, greeting the staff is essential.
Just saying hello well is half of your social life.
“But where is my phone? Manager, have you seen my phone?”
***
First, the six members returned to their dorm.
Normally, one or two people would have waited for Dohee to film at the filming site, but there was a reason why they cold-heartedly abandoned them like today.
Midnight soon.
And the changing date, February 4th.
It was Lee Do-hee’s birthday.
The fact that Dohee was the last person scheduled to shoot the music video today was not a coincidence, but an intentional plan.
This was a matter that had been discussed in advance.
[Team Leader Hyunsoo Oh: I think we’ll arrive within 10 minutes]
“Then it’s kinda?”
I pressed the button when I received a text message from the manager.
[That guy, the youngest. Bizarre rabbit birthday party! This is WE Live.]
“He’s slowly coming in.”
“Hello~”
“…Hello!”
-Seha Seha (meaning Serahi Saven High)
-It’s a birthday party!!
-Happy birthday Dohee♡♡♡
– LOL Where is Dohee? There is no main character.
-Why is it a bizarre rabbit hahahaha?
As the comments continued to rise, Jeon Harang began the process.
“No need to say much, yes! Today is a surprise party for our youngest Dohee! Hwiiik!”
The camera screen showed a beautifully decorated living room.
A placard saying ‘Happy birthday to the adorable maknae Dohee’ and decorated balloons.
“Dohee is currently filming a music video and coming back!”
-Then you will find out by watching this broadcast, hahahaha.
-Wow, you were filming a music video.
– hahahaha, it’s a surprise party, what should I do if I turn on the broadcast?
“Don’t worry. I guess you didn’t even think about that. I stole Dohee’s cell phone.”
-Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk Why are you stealing that?
-The way of thinking itself is different from ours.
-Are you a fool? hahahaha.
-It’s really ridiculous hahahaha
Everyone is excited to surprise Dohee.
Kim Seo-yoon said skeptically.
“He’s so quick-witted… Oh, I don’t think he’ll get hit.”
Sera said.
“No! Do-hee… Is quite an idiot!”
“That’s true, but think about it. Do you think Lee Do-hee will forget her birthday?”
After hearing Kim Seo-yoon’s words, the members somewhat agreed.
“Definitely…”
“That’s right.”
“That’s right.”
“Ah…”
– I’m sure I don’t know the member’s birthday, but I think I’ll circle my own birthday lol.
-Kim Seo-yoon, who knows very well ㄷㄷ
-Sisters’ Jjambap is not going anywhere hahahahaha.
“Rather, as soon as he comes home, he’ll say ‘Give me my cake’?”
-Perfect even the character interpretation.
-ㄹㅇ After listening to Seoyoon’s words, I am persuaded.
However, Jeon Ha-rang did not lose tension and spoke as if he had expected that.
“That’s why the phone was stolen. Common sense tells us, who would be conscious of their birthday when their phone is gone? They’d be so busy thinking about their phone that they’d even forget it was their birthday.”
“Sister. Do you want to make a bet with me on who will be on cleaning duty?”
“Call.”
That’s how Jeon Ha-rang and Kim Seo-yoon’s bet came to fruition.
Not long after, you hear the sound of the door lock being pressed.
Lee Do-hee bursts in as if kicking open the front door.
A crackling voice was heard along with the sound of the door slamming.
“Give me my cake!”
– hahahaha this is ridiculous.
-How can I get one Tossi lol?
-ㄹㅇ This is ridiculous;;
-What is Kim Seo-yoon?
– Goosebumps lol.
“Wow, Lee Do-hee’s reading comprehension is really strong.”
“Did you see, everyone? Is Lee Do-hee this kind of kid?”
Dohee was embarrassed when she saw the live broadcast in the living room.
He spoke quietly and calmly.
“Uh… Oh my?”
HAHAAHA
