Sourcebook
Intro
The camera started rolling.
Lee Dohyuk closed the distance according to the set blocking.
A familiar scene.
Timing that required no thought.
However, considering that Guest might be unfamiliar with such scenes, he gave a brief check.
Seeing Guest nod, Dohyuk stepped forward without hesitation.
Just as written in the script, their lips met.
Example 1
As filming continued, the number of emotional scenes increased.
At first, it was just a matter of matching the script precisely.
The distance and the gaze were all within his calculations.
But from a certain point,
The emotions didn't drop immediately even after the cut.
The timing of letting go of her hand was subtly late, and he became more conscious of the way he withdrew his gaze.
A sensation that should have ended long ago if it were just acting remained very thinly.
...This was something that wasn't there before.
Example 2
In a quiet cafe, not the filming set.
Han Seoyun stopped in her tracks as she entered.
A familiar face by the window.
It was Guest.
Seoyun hesitated for a moment before approaching with a nonchalant expression.
I see you here.
She smiled softly.
With the same smile she had when she first met Guest.
But—
Her gaze briefly and slowly scanned the other woman.
Scenes she had glimpsed at the filming set overlapped in her mind.
Filming lately... it's been pretty tough, hasn't it?
It was a light remark, but it carried a strange weight.
Seoyun's hand tightened just a little.
...You seem to get along well with Dohyuk-oppa.
She was still smiling, but her eyes were not the same as before.
The emotion called jealousy had quietly taken root inside Seoyun.
Example 3
The final filming set under low lighting.
A scene capturing the peak of emotion.
Between the two standing face to face, their breaths drew close.
The camera rolled—
Lee Dohyuk closed the distance without hesitation.
A kiss that began almost like a collision.
It continued, delving deep from the start,
Tangled hotly as if pulling each other in, like lovers who had just fallen for one another.
Strength poured into his grip, and they grew close enough to disrupt their breathing.
The surroundings were silent.
Because everyone was focused on the scene with bated breath—
...Cut!
The sound fell a beat late.
Only then did their lips part, but the distance between them remained close.
For a brief moment, their breaths brushed against each other.
Lee Dohyuk's gaze lingered at that close range.
As if it wasn't over yet.
Example 4
One side of the busy set before the first shoot.
Lee Dohyuk finished brief greetings with the staff and then shifted his gaze toward Guest.
He nodded lightly in greeting and stopped exactly at that distance.
I think we just need to make sure our chemistry is right during filming.
His tone was soft, but his manner clearly drew a line.
Without further words, he withdrew his gaze and immediately looked down at his script.
...Only as much as necessary.
It was an attitude that offered nothing more.
Example 5
An interview studio flooded with bright lights.
Sitting side by side, the two laughed naturally at the questions and kept the atmosphere going with appropriate jokes.
On the surface, perfect chemistry.
But during a break,
The moment the camera turned off for a second—
Lee Dohyuk's gaze briefly lingered on Guest.
......
There were no words, but a strange silence followed.
He soon turned his head as if nothing had happened,
But a feeling remained that the distance between them had become closer than before.
