95 – Understanding (5)

Now, next to me, the main character of Dreaming Children was preparing to go on stage.

Dahye Lee.

“Hmm? Why are you staring at me so intently?”

She asks me.

If you think about it, this time it seemed like the situation was the exact opposite of the preliminaries.

Anyway, thinking that it’s already been over a week since the preliminaries ended, time seems to go by so quickly.

Anyway.

At that time, I asked her first.

Before going on stage, the word fun comes out…… Called.

For me, it’s hard to dare to imagine.

The one who always stands behind the stage like a shadow.

How can I, who has been in charge of the script, know the fun of going up on stage?

Then this question may come.

What kind of fun do scriptwriters feel differently from those who stand on stage, so they take on the role themselves and feel proud of it?

This is a very personal thought, but the scriptwriters all think it is perverted.

We feel unique fun watching the reactions of the actors and people on stage.

From noble mtl dot com

An actor who perfectly digests the picture he envisioned and shines brighter than anyone else in the world at that moment.

We feel a strange sense of accomplishment just by looking at the light from behind, and we also check what kind of thoughts and emotions the people who have seen our works have.

It is a direction that suits one’s intention and satisfaction follows, and if it is a direction that does not suit one’s intention, it can be enjoyed in its own way.

If you’ve ever experienced this kind of fun……

Perhaps you too will walk the path of a scriptwriter.

Like me.

But sometimes there are times when you feel thrill beyond fun.

It is such a rare and fleeting moment that one could describe it as a dreamlike moment for the screenwriter.

Fortunately…….

I experienced that moment twice. Even through one person.

And I think this is the prerequisite for it.

The thoughts of the actor and the screenwriter must be completely in sync with each other.

The other is that both the scriptwriter and the actor must have outstanding talent.

In that sense, Lee Da-hye had a natural talent that no one could imitate.

Positive energy and being able to shine more brightly on stage.

I looked at Lee Da-hye quietly and answered.

“The story is different from when I looked at Kang Ye-rin earlier. That’s why you’re looking straight at me this time.”

“Um~ Then it’s good.”

After completing her answer, Lee Da-hye stretches her body to warm up.

He looked quite relaxed, and he looked somewhat happy like back then.

─That’s right, I’m the main character. Of the script you made.

I suddenly remembered what she had told me before.

…… Hero.

I have been watching Lee Da-hye from the sidelines all the way until she went on stage for this final, and now I can say this with certainty.

I have never regretted choosing her as the main character for this play.

Lee Da-hye was very happy to be the main character in my work, and she tried very hard as if she wanted to repay her for it.

So I could confidently say that Lee Da-hye worked harder than anyone else while preparing for this play.

Especially in the second half, because of my stubbornness, I practiced acting during the day and singing at night.

Of course, I can’t help but feel grateful and sorry at the same time.

Just…….

“Seo Eun-woo.”

When I was thinking about that, Lee Da-hye just gave me a bright smile as usual.

Then, before she left for the stage, she opened her mouth to me one last time.

Really…….

“For today, I want you to keep watching over me like that. Then you can expect more than during the preliminaries.”

I don’t know if it’s really because of my mood, but I didn’t feel like a lie at all when she said that.

And.

A curtain covering the entire stage to move on to a flashback scene.

The curtains are all drawn and the stage is dark until the lights are turned on again.

“I’ll be back!”

However, Da-hye Lee only took her step forward confidently in the darkness.

One step.

Also, from the back of Lee Da-hye taking a step forward, I gradually began to see the image of a certain person overlapping.

Yes. Just like Kim Miso.

“Lee Da-hye.”

I suddenly had something I wanted to say to her.

When I call her name, Lee Da-hye’s steps stop. But she didn’t bother to look back at me.

Thanks to that, I felt like I could speak a little more comfortably.

“You asked before, right? Kim Mi-so, in many ways, I think I resemble you a lot.”

Of course, I’m not sure what I’m going to say from now on will be helpful or poisonous to Lee Da-hye, who has to play the role of Kim Mi-so……

“Right. It’s a role only for you, created while thinking of you implicitly.”

Since I couldn’t answer properly during the preliminaries, I felt like I should say it clearly this time.

“… ….”

But there was no reply from Lee Da-hye, and she just resumed her stopped steps.

Maybe it’s because he didn’t feel the need to answer me.

Someday……

As Park Ha-joon said, actors are people who repay you with acting skills.

***

Lee Da-hye has put in a lot of effort to get on the stage of the finals today.

She knows all too well.

She said that she couldn’t stand her shoulders with Park Ha-joon and Seol So-young in terms of acting.

But even though Lee Da-hye knew that, she didn’t panic at all, and she didn’t even want to be discouraged.

─ Mr. Dahye is Ms. Dahye, she says that person is that person.

Because…….

─Don’t worry too much, Dahye is a bright enough person even if you don’t get caught up in an inferiority complex.

At that time, it was thanks to the one word that person comforted her.

Lee Da-hye would recall these words deeply rooted in herself whenever something was difficult for her.

It’s really strange…….

When she remembered these words, the negative thoughts that occupied her head disappeared in an instant, and she felt that the hard work was no big deal.

This is now her driving force, and it was also the most meaningful word that made Lee Da-hye what she is today.

But this time, the dreaming children were a little different.

It felt a bit difficult rather than difficult.

Can Seo Eun-woo, beating Seol So-yeong and Park Ha-joon, shine more than anyone else as he wants?

Lee Da-hye couldn’t answer this question, but she didn’t really care.

On the contrary, I was always able to enjoy it.

Because the person who conceived these dream children believed in him and entrusted him with the main character.

The role of Kim Mi-so, who is suspiciously similar to herself!

In addition, he gave himself a special gift.

─ I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but I think I saw that child in her dream.

— … Have you ever wondered what Smile was doing in her dreams?

─Song.

Before the dreaming children enter the finale, Moon Yeon-woo and Kang Tae-yang exchange a conversation.

…… Okay.

It was a method that came about after much thought in order to make oneself shine even more in the eyes of anyone.

As Kang Taeyang said, the special gift he gave himself was singing.

Kim Mi-so, who dreamed of becoming a singer, sings songs for her friends.

The memory of that time suddenly comes to mind.

When you asked me to sing on stage, I definitely answered like this.

If I did that, only I would be remembered in people’s heads, would that be okay? … Called.

The truth is…….

‘That was an open lie.’

For a scene change, the huge curtain that was covering the entire stage slowly lifted, and Da-hye Da-hye stood alone in the center of the stage.

She slowly opens her closed eyes and glances at her sideways.

To be precise, Seo Eun-woo, who has been staring at herself from the back of the stage…….

It may be a bit selfish, but in fact, Lee Da-hye wanted this moment to be remembered only in the head of one person.

But…….

Finding yourself in that one person’s head is probably a lot more difficult than being remembered in the heads of everyone in the audience.

Nevertheless, Lee Da-hye gave a shallow smile.

─That’s right. It’s a role only for you, created while thinking of you implicitly.

He made it clear at the last minute.

Kim Miso is a role only for me.

Personally, I think I’ve done my best with it so far. That’s why I wanted to be a little greedy at the last moment.

So……

From now on, the song I will sing is not for her friends who miss Kim Miso, but only for you.

***

Lee Da-hye goes up on her stage alone, and a moment later, a bright melody plays.

-Every moment with you.

I was happy.

Soon, Lee Da-hye sings with a refreshing voice in line with the melody. When she starts singing, the audience’s expression changes in an instant with just the first words.

Admiration, or bitterness. Her audience who watched her play know that she is no longer in the world.

From noble mtl dot com

But Lee Da-hye continues to sing whether she knows their reaction or not.

Like an irresistible dream.

Seo Eun-woo and Han Yeo-jin, the first song they composed together is an infinitely bright and hopeful song.

I can’t see any dark corners, and I don’t feel any sadness.

Because…….

‘If it’s Kim Miso, she won’t lose her light even the moment she says goodbye to her friends.’

It was when Seo Eun-woo was thinking about that.

– The time we spent together.

Every moment was a memory to me.

The melody of the song changes vaguely for the first and last time.

Sometimes that brief time when we looked at each other and laughed, were jealous of each other, and helped each other. As if recalling the memories of that time.

-But promise me.

It’s just a moment.

But Kim Miso wants it.

I hope my friends will soon forget themselves and just move forward.

“…… How could i forget someone like you.”

And Seo Eun-woo, in a state of immersion, muttered a little while watching the girl singing on the stage.

Are those words directed toward Kim Mi-so of Dreaming Children, or toward Lee Da-hye, who is shining brighter than anyone else at this moment?

Maybe……

Maybe it’s both.
