I Decided To Become a Perfect Girl

40 – 14 years old (9)

I woke up to the sound of a loud alarm.

When I picked up my phone and checked the time, it was 5:00 in the morning.

Haa, I am tired to death.

I got out of bed, washed up in the bathroom, and went back into the room to change into my pajamas.

‘ Hmm, I guess that’s the case with tracksuits. ‘

I was told that I would change into a costume when I arrived at the set anyway, so I told him to come out dressed comfortably, but I think I would look arrogant if I went to the set wearing a training suit.

I should wear at least a t-shirt with denim shorts.

After getting dressed, I went into the kitchen and took milk out of the refrigerator.

And while I was eating cereal, my mom opened the door to the main room and came out into the living room, probably awakened by the sound of me walking around.

Her mother said to me, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

” Aren’t you tired, daughter?”

” Uh, it’s okay. I’m a little tired, but I can sleep in the car on the way to the set.”

” Really? Would you rather have cereal? Do you want to eat? I’ll serve it right away.”

” It’s okay. We have to leave soon anyway.”

After eating cereal, I said as I left the house.

” I’ll be back~ “

” Yes, filming hard. “

” Huh. “

I took the elevator and went out to the first floor entrance.

I stood at the entrance and waited for about 5 minutes, and manager So-young’s sister’s car stopped in front.

I said hello to the manager unnie as we got into the car.

” Good morning~ “

” Did Dohee come out early?”

” I just came out. Aren’t you tired, sister?”

” Yes, I went to bed early yesterday, so it’s okay. Dohee isn’t really tired? I heard that you practiced late at night at the company yesterday as well.”

” I’m a little tired, but that’s okay. If you’re too tired, drink an energy drink.”

” Let’s go get some sleep. “

” Yes. “

I plugged in my earphones and listened to the song of the music video to be filmed today.

I listened to the song and thought about how to act on set, but my eyes closed from exhaustion.

” Dohee, you have arrived, now wake up~”

I woke up to the voice of my manager, and I arrived at a high school in the suburbs of Seoul.

You said you rented a music video during the weekend when no students were around.

The high school was crowded with staff and vehicles who came to shoot.

I asked Soyoung unnie.

” It looks like all the staff are already here, but aren’t we late?”

” No, I arrived an hour earlier, so don’t worry. Let’s say hello to the director and come.”

” Yes. “

I got out of the car and went to greet the director.

” Hello, Director!”

” Are you here? Have you read all the storyboards and practiced?”

” Yes, of course! “

” Yes. First of all, there is still a long way to prepare, so I’m waiting dressed up.”

” Yes. “

After saying hello to the director, I walked around the set and greeted all the staff, and I went into a large portable makeup car with Soyoung unnie.

When I entered the makeup car, there were three staff members sitting there.

Normally, there would be more makeup staff than this, but I think there are few because I am the only one filming the music video at the site.

Three of them were, I think, probably a stylist, a makeup artist, and a hair stylist.

I bowed and said hello to the staff.

” Hello. This is Dohee Lee. Thank you very much!”

A woman who appeared to be the eldest among the makeup staff stood up and pulled out a chair in front of the mirror.

” Oh, you’re here early? Let’s sit here for now.”

” Yes. “

I sat on the chair in front of the dressing table.

After I sat down, another staff member gave me a ride.

” Oh, thank you. “

” This is for swelling, so drink it comfortably. “

” Yes. “

The staff looked at my face and said.

” A bare face without makeup, right?”

” Oh, yes. I came out in the morning with lotion and sunscreen on.”

” Wow, your bare face is so pretty. How old are you now?”

” I am 14 years old. “

” As expected, young is the best. Her skin is also very clean. “

” hahahaha, thank you. “

” So let’s start with the head?”

” Yes. “

The concept of this music video shoot is a girl’s first love, so we decided to style straight hair to match the innocent image.

My hair stylist started applying product to my hair.

Ugh, cold.

My hair stylist said as I shuddered.

” Isn’t it cold?”

” Yes, it’s my first time doing something like this.”

” hahahaha, I’m applying scalp essence to make the styling come out pretty. You’ll get used to it soon.”

” Yes. “

After applying the essence, the teacher gave the students a 6:4 parting to give them a kkuanku feeling.

I straightened my hair with a flat iron, put pins in the top of my hair, blow-dried it to give it volume, and sprayed it. It took more than 30 minutes, even though it was a simple styling.

After finishing the hair styling, a staff member who looked like a makeup artist said.

” Now let’s do makeup~”

” Yes. “

My makeup artist teacher started applying a cushion to my face.

I said to the teacher.

” Teacher, I’m new to makeup, so I don’t know what it is. If you don’t mind, could you tell me what you’re doing?”

The make-up artist teacher was surprised and said.

“You’ve never really put on makeup before?”

” This is my first time.”

” Well… A 14 year old might.”

The teacher held up a cushion and said.

” I’m going to make a base with foundation first.”

The teacher went through each makeup and explained what it was.

After completing complex makeup such as foundation, shadow, eyelash curler, eye line, eyebrow drawing, blush, nose shading, and tint, I looked in the mirror.

” Oh… “

Crazy.

This is why women are said to wear makeup.

My make-up artist teacher exclaimed while looking at my face in the mirror.

” Wow… So pretty?”

Recognized.

But I said it with a sense of humility.

” hahahaha, it’s because the teacher is good at makeup.”

” No. I really did my face. My skin is clean, so I can wear makeup well. I really like the original version.”

” hahahaha. “

After putting on my makeup, I got up from my chair, received the uniform given to me by the stylist, and changed into my uniform in the changing room inside the car.

Then, after changing into socks and shoes given by the stylist, the stylist corrected her dressing, and all the styling was over.

I went to the vanity mirror and looked at myself.

Wow… Crazy?

As expected, it is different no matter what it is, probably because it is made by experts.

This is a small intestine.

I took out my phone and took a selfie.

Looking at the picture, this is a KakaoTalk profile picture.

Although I kept getting KakaoTalk messages from boys I don’t know these days, I changed my KakaoTalk profile picture to the default screen, but I can’t stand this.

Ah, of course I have to change it after the music video is released.

As I was taking selfies all over the place, Manager Soyoung, who was sitting on a chair in the dressing room and smiling at me, said.

” Dohee, I’ll take a picture with the rear camera. Let’s go outside. “

” Ugh, yes.”

An hour had passed since I went outside and took full body pictures with the rear camera, looked at those pictures and chose which ones were pretty with my manager.

A staff member came up to me and said.

” Actor, I’m going to shoot now.”

” Yes~ I understand~ “

I followed the staff into the first shooting location, the classroom.

This song is a rock band song that is sung while reminiscing about first love.

He said that the music video was cross-edited with X1’s seniors.

The director said.

” Okay, let’s start with the first scene.”

” Yep!”

I sit at the back of the classroom with the lights off,

I sat by the window where only sunlight came in and at a desk with notebooks and workbooks.

” Alright, let’s go. Cue!”

The sound source came on and I started pretending to study with an expressionless expression in line with the song.

From noble mtl dot com.

I pretended to study for about 10 seconds, then stretched my arms outstretched.

Then he turned his head and looked at the camera as if his eyes met, and smiled broadly.

” Okay. I’ll try it one more time.”

” Yep~ “

After two more repetitions.

” This time, instead of smiling brightly, I’ll try to smile softly.”

” I understand~ “

” I’ll go. Cue!”

After repeating that many times, I started filming the next scene after the first scene was finished.

This time, he sits by the window of the classroom so that the camera can see his profile and looks out the window.

After all the shooting in the classroom, I headed to the music room for the next shoot.

After all the filming staff moved the filming equipment to the music room and the filming was ready, I sat down in front of the piano.

The original filming was a scene that looked cute while playing castanets and triangles in the music room, but at the recommendation of the company, I decided to play the piano as well.

The director said.

” You can play any song comfortably. “

” Yes, I understand~ “

It’s early summer in June, so I’d like to play the summer of Kikujiro by Joe Hisaishi.

” Let me begin. Cue!”

I started playing the piano.

Kikujiro’s Summer was not a difficult song to show off one’s skills, but it did not lack in refreshing the atmosphere of the filming set.

” Oh, I play the piano well.”

” Top East recommended it for a reason. “

As for the piano scene, which was well received by the staff, the director shouted an ok sign after one cue.

” Okay. I’ll go straight to the castanets..”

” Yes~ “

I got up from the piano and, as the director requested, I held the castanets in both hands and played the castanets while dancing in a karaoke room, waving a tambourine.

The field staff burst into laughter as they watched my dance.

” How cute is he. Ha ha ha “

” He’s strangely good at his last dance, so it’s cute. hehehehe”

At the same time, the director who laughed at my blind dance gave an ok sign and said.

” hahahahaha, it was great! Now, I’ll go one more time!”

” Yep!”

.

.

.

The director said after all the filming in the music room, right up to the triangle, was over.

” Okay. Let’s eat before the next shoot.”

Looks like it’s lunchtime already.

Since I left my cell phone with So-young unnie and filmed, I didn’t know the time, so I asked her unnie about the time.

” What time is it?”

” It’s only 1:00. Let’s go out and eat.”

” Yes. “

I followed Soyoung to the playground.

A food truck had arrived near the tent in the playground.

I looked at the food truck and said to Soyoung.

” Oh, it’s my first time eating a meal. Is it delicious?”

” I’ve had it a few times, but so far everything has been delicious.”

” Oh… “

The line for the food truck was short as the staff still had to pack their filming equipment.

Can I eat first?

I approached the food truck and picked up a plate placed at the front of the line.

The foods placed in front of the food truck are braised short ribs, bulgogi, and japchae.

They are side dishes that cannot be tasted.

I feel hungry after seeing food.

Coming to think of it, all I ate today was the cereal I ate for breakfast.

The line got shorter and it was finally my turn to get my food.

I was about to eat less, but manager Soyoung said next to me.

” Dohee, you know that the next scene is running in the playground, right? It’s hard to run if you eat a lot, so eat a little?”

Ah.
