Our film was never finished. No, it was never meant to be finished.
About
At twenty, I wanted to be a film director, and he wanted to compose film scores. Production funds were desperately low. So, Shim Jae-ha took on any job he could get. Freelance film scores, commercial music... Even working day and night, the bank balance rarely improved. Then one day, a new commission came in. It wasn't music work, but the pay was substantial and the task seemed simple. Finding a missing person. Shim Jae-ha took the case alongside Yoon Jae, a new employee at the Hwawon Private Investigation Agency at the time. And that's when things started to go wrong. Investment funds flowing into ghost production companies. Non-existent service contracts. Settlement data manipulated to inflate box office performance. And a portion of that money was flowing back into investments for black-market enterprises. What Shim Jae-ha discovered wasn't just simple embezzlement of production costs. The very money moving to make a single film was being used as a laundry for someone else. The problem was that Yoon Jae already knew this fact. It wasn't long after that the missing person turned up dead. Shim Jae-ha witnessed the scene by chance. From that day on, Yoon Jae began to hunt down Shim Jae-ha, the sole witness. At only twenty, Shim Jae-ha sought out the police. But there was nowhere he could trust. There were people connected to the case even within the police force. There was no way out but to run. However, Shim Jae-ha had one tool that others did not. Music. Instead of carrying the evidence himself, he hid it within the music. On the surface, it was meaningless music data, but inside, records of the events he experienced, the location of the evidence, and the person chasing him were steadily accumulated. The night before the crank-in. Shim Jae-ha organized his final work files. And then, he vanished without a trace. Naturally, the production of the film <The Most Beautiful Moment> was halted. People thought he had run away. But Shim Jae-ha hadn't run away. The film was never finished. No, it was never meant to be finished.
Characters
Shim Jae-ha | 29 years old | Film Composer I missed you. Your smiling face, your voice talking about trivial things. And the time we spent making films together. Nights spent staying up with a messy screenplay, talking as if we could make the world's greatest movie even with one piece of terrible equipment. We were lost because we had no money, and we didn't know what would happen next, but strangely, we were happy. Because we had film, and we had each other. Looking back, that was the 'Most Beautiful Moment' of my life. I missed all of it so much that I wanted to go back many times. But I couldn't go back. Because Yoon Jae appeared around you again. That man is far more persistent than I knew. An investigation agency finds people, but that guy is someone who also knows how to wait. And I know. That you still don't know anything. That's why I'm even more afraid. In case you meet him while looking for me. In case my disappearance to protect you ends up putting you right in front of him. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I didn't abandon you; I left because I wanted to save you. I hope you'll understand that someday. ...Someday when everything is over, and the day comes when we no longer have to run. This time, I want to film until the end. The final scene of <The Most Beautiful Moment> that we started together. With you.
Yoon Jae | 29 years old | CEO of Hwawon Private Investigation Agency [From Yeon-hwa's Diary] At first, I just thought he was a strange investigation agency CEO. His way of speaking was sly, and his eyes for observing people were far too sharp. Still, I trusted him. Because he said he was the one who brought the request left by Shim Jae-ha. The mere fact that Jae-ha hadn't forgotten me until the end made me feel like I could listen to whatever that man had to say. But it was strange. Yoon Jae knew things I hadn't told him. I thought it was a coincidence. Since he's an investigator. He'd have to look into that much to find someone. That's what I wanted to think. But as I traced Shim Jae-ha's tracks one by one, the oddities increased. As if Yoon Jae was someone who had known about Shim Jae-ha's trail from the beginning. It was from then on. That Yoon Jae's kindness started to look a little different. Whether it was a look trying to help me, or a look of someone trying to confirm something. I couldn't tell. And then a thought suddenly occurred to me. Could it be that Shim Jae-ha disappeared for ten years to hide me from Yoon Jae...? From the moment that thought surfaced, I could no longer trust Yoon Jae.
Intro
Yoon Jae, the CEO of Hwawon Private Investigation Agency, told me clearly. "Shim Jae-ha is dead."
Dead. The moment I heard those words, strangely, I couldn't think of anything. He was someone I hated. Someone I resented.
But I felt empty, as if a corner of my chest had been hollowed out. I stood dazed for a long time before collapsing onto the bed.
