Prince From Another Dimension Becomes An Idol [EN]: Chapter 237

The Aftermath and a Reunion

#237.

The shock was significant for both Joo-yeon Seong and the staff who worked with her, so filming was put on hold until the next day.

After filing a complaint with the police, the truth was naturally revealed to the media.

It was a case where a celebrity was a victim of a hidden camera crime by a staff member on the same set.

The entire internet was buzzing.

Most people were furious, but some were searching for ‘Seong Joo-yeon hidden camera’ to find photos or videos.

Seong Joo-yeon’s manager was reluctant to file a complaint because they anticipated this would happen.

‘The victim doesn’t need to hide, but…’

It was clear that Seong Joo-yeon was brave.

Afterward, Seong Joo-yeon thanked Do-jae separately for his help.

He had only done what was natural.

Moreover, Do-jae was even praised because it became known that he had helped Seong Joo-yeon as a witness.

It felt bitter to receive praise for something like this.

Anyway, the important thing was that Seong Joo-yeon didn’t get too hurt.

***

“Okay, cut!!!”

The actors and staff beamed at Director Tae-hwan Cha’s loud ‘cut’ sound.

That was because today’s filming was the last scene.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Thank you for your hard work!!!”

The actors came out from behind the camera and greeted each other.

Do-jae and Seong Joo-yeon, who were young among the actors despite being leads, politely greeted the middle-aged actors playing eunuchs and court ladies.

“Do-jae, you worked hard too! The best, the best!”

Do-jae smiled pleasantly at the middle-aged woman who showed her thumb with a playful face.

Do-jae was originally popular on set, but after Seong Joo-yeon’s incident, he was even more loved by the female cast and staff.

It was awkward, but also fortunate.

The atmosphere on set was very chaotic after the commotion.

It was natural since a staff member who was supposed to be trusted had committed a crime.

However, Do-jae was becoming the center, raising the atmosphere on set.

Do-jae made an effort to keep the atmosphere from darkening by greeting the actors and staff more kindly than usual.

He was also worried about Seong Joo-yeon, who must have been in great shock…

She was a professional.

‘Joo-yeon is the one who worked the hardest.’

After recovering her condition a few days later, Seong Joo-yeon showed a professional attitude on set.

Many people were motivated to work hard because of Seong Joo-yeon’s attitude.

Director Tae-hoon Cha also apologized to Seong Joo-yeon, saying, ‘I should have prioritized Joo-yeon’s position, but I think I had too many thoughts at the time.’

“Good job, senior [term for someone older or more experienced]!”

“You too, Do-jae. Oh, and about tomorrow’s filming.”

“Tell me.”

Seong Joo-yeon talked to Do-jae about the skinship scene in tomorrow’s filming.

It was the part where Do-jae grabs Seong Joo-yeon’s hand as he saves her from falling.

“How about… trying it this way?”

Do-jae pondered for a moment at Seong Joo-yeon’s suggestion.

Originally, the composition was supposed to be holding hands, but she suggested grabbing the wrist instead.

“Instead of grabbing it like this, like this. I think it would work.”

Seong Joo-yeon demonstrated as Do-jae seemed to be contemplating.

Do-jae’s eyes lit up as he understood, and he gently grabbed Seong Joo-yeon’s wrist.

“Like this?”

“Ah… yes.”

Seong Joo-yeon was flustered by Do-jae’s face, which suddenly came close.

During filming, she knew what the next action would be, and she was aware that she was filming, but now she was outside the camera.

“I’m sorry. Were you surprised that I grabbed you suddenly?”

“No, it’s okay.”

Anyway, Do-jae didn’t do anything wrong since she was demonstrating.

‘He’s handsome. I almost got excited.’

It wasn’t that she didn’t know, but she just realized it again.

It was true that she had more human affection recently, but she didn’t have romantic feelings.

Seong Joo-yeon smiled and asked.

“Is it okay to change it?”

“Yes. It feels better. Ah, Chae-hee hurt her left hand when she was young, right? So you’re suggesting we change it.”

“I think it’s better to interpret it as Yoo-hoon catching even that.”

Do-jae nodded.

If it was as Seong Joo-yeon suggested, it would be better to bring Yoo-hoon’s character to life.

‘Originally, these details make the character…’

Do-jae was surprised by Seong Joo-yeon’s meticulousness.

“If it’s okay, tell the director before filming.”

“Thank you, senior.”

“I was just trying to help each other’s characters, that’s all.”

However, Seong Joo-yeon would have only been faithful to her role before.

‘She would have only given the necessary help.’

Do-jae knew that Seong Joo-yeon was showing kindness to Do-jae, who had helped her in her own way.

Thanks to this, the acting of the two, who were already showing good performances, was completely on the rise.

No matter how great an actor is, the influence of the relationship with the other actor was significant.

As the emotions of Lee Yoo-hoon and Seol Chae-hee in the play were also intensifying, Director Cha Tae-hoon was very satisfied with the acting of the two male and female leads.

“Then see you tomorrow.”

“Yes, go in. Senior.”

Seong Joo-yeon turned around after receiving a light greeting.

***

The worst possible noise… There was even a crime, but after that, the set went back to normal without any problems.

Rather, it felt more organic and cohesive than before.

That’s how the filming was coming to an end.

The team was busy filming the outdoor scenes that had been delayed due to the heavy snow in early February.

[Louis: Is Do-jae filming in Gangwon-do today? ㅜㅜ]

[Heung-min hyung: Was it Yeongwol??]

[Woo-cheol jjing: I think it’s Yeongwol ㅇㅇ]

[Woo-cheol jjing: We’re all ordering this together, and I thought of what hyung liked!! Let’s eat together when you come to Seoul!!]

[Woo-cheol jjing: (Bulgogi pizza photo)]

Do-jae, who was waiting in the van wearing a long padding [long, padded winter coat] over his hanbok [traditional Korean clothing], smiled slightly at the members’ messages.

Woo-cheol, who had saved his name as ‘Younger Brother Park Woo-cheol’ and then changed it to ‘Woo-cheol jjing’ because it was too impersonal.

The pizza with a lot of bulgogi [Korean marinated beef] was one of Do-jae’s favorite foods that didn’t exist in the Korean Empire.

[Sounds delicious. I think I’ll go up to Seoul the day after tomorrow and rest for a day]

As Do-jae sent a reply, messages arrived from Gyu-sung and Ki-joon in succession.

It was a message telling him to film in good health.

[Thank you ^^]

The drama was the first activity for Do-jae to stand alone after leaving the team called MOST.

Even though it was a completely different job, everyone believed that Do-jae would do well, and Do-jae was actually doing well.

However, as time went by, Do-jae missed and appreciated the members more and more.

The weight to be borne was completely different when he was with the members and when he was alone.

Do-jae was realizing that the reason he had been steadfast so far was because he had members by his side who he had to take care of and who could take care of him.

Moreover, the members were supporting Do-jae materially and mentally by sending snack trucks and food trucks three times.

Louis was curious about the set, and he wanted to show the members around the set if possible, but he couldn’t call them because he was extremely sensitive to outside access.

“Hmm……”

It had already been a week since he stayed in Gangwon-do [province in South Korea] with the filming crew.

There were fellow actors and staff, but he couldn’t help but feel lonely.

‘Lonely.’

It was an emotion that he hadn’t really felt since coming to Korea.

It must have been thanks to the members who were always noisy.

In addition, Do-jae was more sensitive to emotions than usual.

‘I expected it, but it’s more emotionally draining than I thought.’

Currently, Do-jae was filming the part where Lee Yoo-hoon, who had broken off his marriage with his betrothed and fallen in love with Seol Chae-hee, was banished under the guise of recuperation due to the emperor’s wrath.

Unlike the sweet rom-com in the beginning, it had become a desperate melodrama.

Lee Yoo-hoon was struggling to protect his love with Seol Chae-hee against the opposition of the imperial family.

He was suffering and hurting from the fact that he had to hurt his beloved family and Seol Chae-hee… It was a time when all kinds of emotions were pouring out.

Even in the previous filming, Do-jae had to shed tears from his big eyes and wail until his blood vessels burst.

He was already very immersed in the character of Lee Yoo-hoon, but the situation in the play was similar to when Do-jae was struggling with the path of a singer in the Korean Empire.

Thanks to this, a good performance came out that Director Cha Tae-hoon applauded, but he couldn’t stop himself from getting tired.

He seemed to be running out of emotions as he continued to pour them out.

It was a different feeling from what he felt when working on music.

Do-jae closed his eyes for a moment, pressing his forehead against the cold window due to the outside air.

“Hyung [term for older brother or male friend]. Should I turn off the radio if you’re going to sleep?”

“No. It’s okay. Leave it on.”

It seemed better to have some noise to calm his mind.

When Do-jae was lost in the mountain scenery outside the window, a familiar voice flowed from the radio.

“Huh? This……”

“It’s Gyu-sung hyung’s song!”

The following voice was Baek So-ra’s.

“Did he sing this song on [platform name]?”

“Yes! The video views are also very high, and the music is also doing well on the charts right now.”

‘I haven’t had a chance to check it out, but I’m listening to it like this.’

Do-jae listened to the song with a relaxed mind.

Gyu-sung’s unique and refreshing tone and Baek So-ra’s dreamy and soft tone were creating exquisite harmony.

―Whether the place you stand is light or darkness, I will never leave you alone

―The pain is temporary, if we hold hands, we will fly away

―Fly to the sky- ga- ga- until the end-

―Jump in- a- until the end-

The depth created by the song was extraordinary.

It was a beautiful song that seemed to caress the heart.

‘Being comforted by a song, this is what it was like.’

It had been a long time since he had been comforted by a song like this, after singing songs every day.

Do-jae smiled quietly.

***

A few days later, MOST dorm.

“Do-jae hyung! He said he’ll arrive in about forty or fifty minutes! He just passed the tollgate.”

At Louis’s words, the members began to move in unison.

Woo-cheol ordered bulgogi pizza from Do-jae’s favorite brand, and Gyu-sung and Heung-min helped Ki-joon set the table.

The pizza was just a snack.

Today’s main dish was Ki-joon’s Eobokjaengban [Korean traditional dish consisting of thinly sliced beef tongue, mushrooms, vegetables, and broth].

It was a dish that Do-jae had once said he liked.

In fact, the other members had never eaten it or even heard of it…

“Wow. The smell is amazing. When did Do-jae eat something like this?”

“Do-jae is a huge gourmet.”

“It’s amazing. He’s always been the same as us, dorm, home, dorm, home, but there’s no dish he hasn’t eaten.”

“Well… that’s questionable.”

The members talked and prepared to welcome Do-jae, who was coming to the dorm after a long time.

In fact, Do-jae had hardly been able to enter the dorm due to all-night filming until he went down to Gangwon-do, so the members were seeing Do-jae’s face after a long time.

That’s why they prepared a place for Do-jae, who must have had a hard time.

“Hyung. You seem more like an expert after meeting CEO Jong-won Jeong.”

At Heung-min’s words, Ki-joon tasted it and gave a proud smile.

Ki-joon recently went to , a restaurant start-up program, and met Jong-won Jeong, the godfather of the food service industry.

Ki-joon, who went to , received great praise from viewers by fully demonstrating his accurate taste evaluation and hidden cooking skills.

Thanks to this, he even received a formal panel request.

Beep, beep, beep, beep.

After a while, the members widened their eyes at the sound of the digital door lock being pressed.

Soon the front door opened…

“Hyung!”

“Do-jae-ya!”

“Hyung! Long time no see!”

Do-jae smiled brightly and entered the dorm.
