Chapter 200

The bow used in archery competitions is called a recurve bow.

A recurve bow is assembled by connecting the handle, or the riser, to the upper and lower limbs, and then attaching the bowstring to the ends of the limbs.

After that, the stabilizer that extends vertically from the riser and other devices are added to complete the archery bow that can be seen in the Olympics.

Ta-da!

Wow!

The staff who were preparing for the shooting clapped their hands at the sight of Seo-jun, who had assembled the archery bow in an instant.

Its easier than I thought.

What about disassembly?

That too.

Seo-jun removed the various devices, took off the bowstring, and detached the two limbs from the riser. He laid them out as they were at first.

Another round of applause followed.

It was a simple assembly for Seo-jun and the archery players, but it was amazing for those who saw it for the first time.

Director Choi Dae Man and assistant director Park Jae Min entered the noisy hospital room. Today, there were two shootings: one in the morning with only Seo-jun and one in the afternoon with extras. They came to talk to him in advance, as some of the extra actors might arrive during the shooting.

Dont bother our actor.

Hey. You too, director.

The staff looked around nervously. Director Choi Dae Man spoke to Seo-jun, who was laughing.

Today will be a bit busy, can you do well?

Dont worry.

The most reliable actor smiled brightly.

***

Ready, action!

A scream was heard.

Sitting on the bed, playing with the archery bow that his friends had brought him, assembling and disassembling it repeatedly, Go Ju Won blinked his eyes.

He looked at the half-open window.

The blue sky. The high sun. And screams.

There was noise coming from outside.

It was a loud and desperate scream that could be heard all the way here.

Did an accident happen?

But he didnt hear any ambulance sirens. Was it a drunkard who was causing trouble? Go Ju Won got off the bed, put on his slippers, and walked toward the window. The screams continued without stopping.

Mens. Womens.

Childrens. Elderlys.

Screams.

He felt that something bad was happening outside.

Go Ju Won tried to put his trembling hand on the window frame, but missed.

He clenched his fist a few times and then put his hand on the window frame properly. His head felt tense with anxiety. He took a deep breath and leaned his body on the window frame and looked out.

Go Ju Wons gaze went down.

His face, which had been mixed with anxiety and curiosity, slowly turned pale and ashen.

His eyelids trembled at the sight that he couldnt believe even after seeing it. His fingers on the window frame were also shaking with nervousness.

Go Ju Wons pupils shook violently.

!

He seemed to have forgotten to scream as he collapsed on the floor with his legs giving out.

Cut, OK!

At Director Choi Dae Mans voice, the staffs vision widened. It felt like their ears had been unplugged after being muffled.

But the silence was not broken. While Seo-jun and Director Choi Dae Man were monitoring, one of the staff muttered.

Did we turn off the scream sound?

Yeah.

They didnt turn on the sound of people screaming, as it would distract Seo-jun.

Mens. Womens.

Childrens. Elderlys.

Screams.

Why do I feel like I heard them?

The staff rubbed their arms with goosebumps.

***

A wooden bat weighs about 900g.

A bow weighs about 3kg.

Seo-jun always got an OK with one shot, but he couldnt expect the same from the actors who acted with him.

Besides, they had to shoot from full shots to bust shots, close-up shots, and from different angles. They didnt know how many times they had to repeat the shooting.

Then, of course, Seo-juns arms and shoulders would be strained by swinging the bow like a bat.

So this is the fake bow made by the art team.

The bow that Assistant Director Park Jae Min handed him was light. It felt awkwardly lighter than the real bow. Seo-jun felt the weight of it as he touched it here and there.

Is it made of wood? It feels like a wooden bat.

I dont know. Im not sure what material it is But its light, right? And it looks exactly like that bow. The art team put a lot of effort into making it.

Seo-jun nodded his head as he held the lower limb of the fake bow and swung it around like a bat.

I have to be careful when I act.

What do you mean?

It doesnt have any weight, so I might swing it too hard. Then it wont look like a real bow.

It would ruin the immersion of the audience. Seo-jun pulled the string of the fake bow and realized that it was different from the real bow in terms of tension.

He plucked the string of the fake bow a few times and thought to himself.

But I think I can shoot it if I do well

The elves bows were not made of wood either.

Of course, the wood that was used to make the bows was not ordinary wood, but something special.

Park Jae Min understood what Seo-jun meant.

Oh. Like those fake boxes that often appear in dramas?

Yes.

They say they are heavy in their lines, but the viewers can see that the actors lift them easily and that they bounce lightly when they fall to the ground.

They realize that there is nothing inside them.

Thats what props are like.

But well use the real bow for important scenes, so dont you think itll be fine?

Yeah.

He nodded his head, but his eyes stayed on the fake bow.

He had to think about how to act with it. He wanted to make it look like a real bow even in scenes where he used a fake one.

***

Ready, action!

Its a zombie.

Go Ju Won barely calmed down and crouched in front of the window, peeking out with his head sticking out.

He looked here and there and looked again,

Its really a zombie!

He was about to scream, but he was startled by his own voice and covered his mouth with his hand.

It was hard to tell if zombies existed in reality, but when he saw people biting each other and turning into the same creatures, he was sure they were zombies.

Goh Juwon, who didnt know what to do, looked around the room and found a bow on the bed.

A weapon!

It was a bow that could be disassembled into several parts, but it looked more reliable than ever. Goh Juwon quickly grabbed the handle of the bow, the riser, that was placed on the bed. It was a small part, but it gave him some peace of mind.

He sighed and looked around.

A single room.

Maybe Ill be fine here?

There was water in the bathroom, snacks and bread from his friends, and fruits from his parents.

If I lock the door and block it with furniture

As he looked for furniture to block the door, Goh Juwon realized something.

My friends!

He had friends who were laughing and chatting with him until a while ago.

Friends who had been close since he joined the archery club. Friends who cared for him and visited him in the hospital.

Goh Juwon bit his lip nervously and lifted his head.

He hadnt left the ward for long, so maybe he could find them if he went out now.

Maybe they could wait together in a safe place until someone came to rescue them.

His black eyes, which were shaking with anxiety, burned like flames.

Goh Juwon quickly put on his clothes.

He layered thin clothes and wore a tracksuit over them, as if he had seen a zombie movie.

Goh Juwons preparation didnt end there. He laid out the equipment in his archery bag on the bed.

He put on a finger tab on his hand and a chest guard on his chest. He wore an arm guard on his arm and another spare arm guard on the opposite arm.

With smooth movements like flowing water, Goh Juwon assembled his bow.

He attached wings to the top and bottom of the riser that would be the handle and connected strings to the ends of the wings. Then he assembled other equipment such as a sight. He stopped his hand.

What if zombies come close I might have to swing it.

He hesitated for a moment and removed the stabilizer.

The stabilizer was a device that prevented shaking and balanced the bow when shooting, but it was longer than the lower wing.

There was a long rod attached to the handle of the bow below the lower wing, like an vertically,

If I swing it with this, Ill be more in danger.

He swung his bow in the air a few times and looked at his bow with a regretful expression.

Itll bend like this If I get out of here, Ill have to ask mom to buy me a new one.

He thought of the new product that came out recently and tried to calm his trembling heart.

He also took the arrows that his friends had brought him.

He put some of them in a quiver so he could take them out right away, and put the rest in his bag.

To avoid interference with his movement, he slung the quiver over his shoulder instead of attaching it to his thigh.

Did I get everything? Oh, wheres my phone?

He remembered his confiscated phone and bit his lip. He shook his head.

Its okay. There are phones outside too.

Maybe someone else who was still fine had contacted the police.

Lets go get them.

Goh Juwon, who was fully prepared, tried to calm his pounding heart and stood in front of the closed ward door.

***

While Seo-jun was filming, one by one, child actors from the archery club appeared and headed to the special makeup room on the first floor.

The extras who would appear with them also followed the staffs guidance to the special makeup room.

Jena Troids face brightened at the appearance of child actors.

The child actors rolled their eyes at the sight of Hollywood special makeup team leader who was spitting out English diligently.

The staff who was in charge of interpretation smiled and said.

Come this way.

Yes!

A few moments later, the special makeup that the Mirror team had worked hard on was finished.

The zombie with a torn arm by Jena Troid looked more realistic and alien.

Jena Troid and the Mirror team smiled with satisfaction.

Its scary no matter how many times I see it.

I think Im getting used to it now.

The extras who were waiting for their makeup next to them shook their heads as they looked at the child actors who were huddled together after their makeup.

They knew how well those kids had acted as zombies in the previous filming.

Then, the end of the corridor became noisy.

There were screams of astonishment and admiration, strange shrieks, and voices trembling with excitement.

The extras eyes were drawn to the source of the noise.

The child actors knew who it was and giggled.

It was Lee Seo-jun.

He appeared with an aura, wearing a tracksuit and various things like an archery player.

Everyone unconsciously opened their mouths wide.

Hello!

Lee Seo-jun greeted them and Park Jae Min, the assistant director who came with him (they didnt even know he was there), explained something.

The extras mouths opened even wider. Park Jae Min didnt forget to warn them to keep the secret and left with Lee Seo-jun.

The kids who were watching Lee Seo-jun with a smile tapped their phones.

Joo Kyung: Where are you?

Seo-jun: I just came to say hello. They said everyone would be surprised and couldnt film if they knew before filming started. I still have filming left.

Joo Hee: Good luck with filming!

Seo-jun: Your makeup was well done. You looked like real zombies!

Jae Han: There were a lot of people, how did you find us?

Seo-jun: Youre wearing school uniforms

Jae Han: Ah!

The first floor special makeup room became lively with Lee Seo-juns appearance.

Crazy. Is Lee Seo-jun really the lead actor?!

Its unbelievable that theres a Hollywood special makeup team, but Lee Seo-jun is the lead? This movie will be a hit.

Did Lee Seo-jun bring the Hollywood team?

It seems like it.

The extras were excited by the unbelievable news.

Even those who came for part-time jobs, and those who really loved acting, showed signs of excitement by the unexpected appearance of the actor.

A star who could turn peoples hearts upside down with just his presence.

Hes my friend after all.

The kids smiled proudly as they watched the adults who were excited.
