“Here, like this….”

It’s been a few days since we started filming the midsection of the work.

Now the real confrontation between the protagonist and the main villain has begun, and since this is the part where Sera gets involved with the heroine, the director, writer, and a few actors and staff have gathered for a meeting.

“Here, we’ll do it this way….”

“Ah, do you think Soo-hyun can do this?”

“Yes, I’ll give it a try.”

Thus, there were many demands placed on me.

Things like managing my expressions carefully and controlling my emotions, etc.

The character Sera isn’t a simple one; she required some delicate acting.

“I think Soo-hyun can handle this much, so let’s do it this way this time….”

Moreover, perhaps the director had a good impression of me during the last shoot because the way of direction had slightly changed.

If you think about it simply, it just became a bit more difficult.

“Um… I’ll try my best.”

I wasn’t too sure if I could manage the requests, but I nodded nonetheless.

I had practiced in between my broadcasts, after all.

My broadcast time isn’t that long, so I had plenty of time to practice.

“Oh right. Soo-hyun, you said you have plans for dinner tonight, right?”

“Yes.”

“Well then, let’s try to wrap this up before that.”

“Yes.”

Today, as the director mentioned, there’s an important schedule for dinner.

So we need to minimize mistakes.

I’m planning to finish as quickly as possible.

With that determination, we commenced the serious filming.

However….

“Wait, suddenly a downpour… let’s take it easy!”

Filming didn’t start off smoothly.

It had been a little cloudy since the morning, and then an unexpected shower hit.

As a result, filming was temporarily halted.

“Ah.”

I felt a little dizzy at the sight, but luckily, the rain let up quickly.

So I tried to calm myself and get back to filming, but…

Unfortunately, the rain marked the beginning of a series of unfortunate events.

“Why is the camera acting up?”

“I think water got in when the shower started?”

“This isn’t supposed to be non-waterproof… I’ll switch the camera!”

The shooting camera had stopped, freezing the scene.

“Ah, the battery… ah… I’m sorry!”

The replacement camera happened to be uncharged due to a crew member’s mistake, so we had to switch to yet another camera.

Then it was lunchtime, and we took a short break.

“What is this?”

Having spent the entire morning without shooting a single scene, I let out a hollow sound, prompting Nam Han-kyung, who was calmly opening his lunchbox next to me, to speak.

“Sometimes there are days like this.”

“…Is that so?”

“Yes, we shoot frequently, and it can’t always be smooth sailing.”

Yeah, he’s right about that.

But why today of all days?

“Oh, you said you have something important for dinner?”

“Yes….”

“Is it related to your main job?”

“Exactly….”

On a normal day, I wouldn’t have thought much of it, but today is the day of the first public reveal for ‘Dissolution’ music video.

Actually, I had planned not to overlap it with filming, but ever since this part began, there has been hardly any day off, so I had chosen today because the filming scenes aren’t too many.

But with all the delays, I was starting to feel anxious.

I needed to finish shooting quickly.

The good thing is that today are parts that I can complete quickly if I do well.

So, I resolved to do my best as I had lunch and prepared for the afternoon shoot.

However….

“Um… let’s do it just one more time!”

“…Yes.”

As I was unexpectedly feeling rushed, I made a mistake and caused another NG.

“Ah! I’m so sorry!”

Even Se-ryung, who was doing well lately, seemed to have gotten flustered and made an NG along with me.

At that moment, I sent out a notice.

[I think the broadcast will be a bit late.]

Delaying the premiere is my last resort.

So I decided to push back the broadcast time that was originally set to go live before the premiere.

As long as I turn it on before the music video reveal time, it should be fine.

Thankfully, after that, we shot smoothly without any more mistakes, but by the time filming wrapped up, the sky was already getting a little dark.

“Ugh.”

Immediately after finishing the shoot, I hurriedly changed clothes and jumped into the car.

“Full speed ahead!”

“Yes?”

“Go as fast as you can!”

I shouted to Park Kang-seok, who was waiting for me.

I needed to get there quickly.

I sneaked a peek at my phone and opened YouTube.

There was already a waiting room set up on my YouTube channel for the premiere.

And I could see many people gathering in that waiting room instead of my broadcast.

– I’m here

– Miro, when are you coming? LOL

– Lock

– Miro, why aren’t you here?

– Check the notice to see

Countless viewers were searching for me.

Although I had already posted a notice, it was still puzzling to not have gone live even an hour before the premiere.

“Step on it, step on it faster!”

“No running red lights.”

“Ah!”

Feeling urgent, I tried to hurry him, but Park Kang-seok remained steadfast.

I nearly fainted when we slowed down to below 30 km/hr in a school zone, but I couldn’t argue about it.

It just felt too trashy to say, “There are no kids at this hour, so just speed up,” right?

And Park Kang-seok was correct.

No matter how urgent it is, staying safe and avoiding accidents is the priority… mmm….

“Ugh.”

Of course, that thought didn’t alleviate my urgency.

“…What’s the rush anyway?”

Usually calm on my way home, my frantic state caused Park Kang-seok to raise an eyebrow.

“I have an important announcement to make…”

“Announcement?”

“Yes… it’s very important.”

I had been making a big fuss, even uploading a trailer beforehand.

What’s more, I thought this song might create quite a buzz… so I had to premiere it while streaming together, right?

“…Can’t we watch it in the car?”

“It’s my announcement…”

“Ah.”

Hearing that, Park Kang-seok began to increase his speed.

Of course, only after we had left the school zone.

So, with my urging and Park Kang-seok’s adherence to traffic laws, we reached my home just as the sun was setting.

“Thank you!”

“Good luck.”

I thanked Park Kang-seok and dashed into the house.

As I rushed inside, Madam Park told me to wash my hands first. After a quick wash, I hurried to my room and turned on my computer.

There wasn’t even time to change clothes.

Luckily, the computer booted up quickly, and I set up the broadcast as fast as I could and went live.

– ???

– Why are you just now?

– Miro, hurry up! LOL

– Why are you so late??

“Am I late??”

– Yes, yes.

– Gonna start soon! LOL

– Almost missed it

Thankfully, I wasn’t late.

“Ah….”

With a sigh of relief, I entered my channel where the premiere was set to happen and saw only a few minutes left on the clock.

…I really almost missed it.

Just thinking that if I had made one more NG, I would definitely have been late sends chills down my spine.

From now on, I must never schedule a broadcast on filming days again.

“Just a moment, I’ll grab a drink.”

– Yes, yes.

– So, why the delay?? Asking for the third time.

– Hurry up

I figured I couldn’t leave the stream for too long, so I gave up on changing clothes and sat back down, seeing the active chat stream.

How is it that so many viewers have gathered in such a short time after going live…?

It’s probably because it’s the day that the music video is being published, and everyone must have eagerly been waiting for my broadcast.

Feeling a little guilty for making them wait unexpectedly, I turned on the mic.

“Ah, ah. Looks like many viewers have joined us?”

– Yes, yes.

– What did you bring?

– So why the delay?? Asking for the third time.

“Got some water. Wow, time flies.”

The countdown on the screen showed we were almost out of time.

Both the viewers and I were focused on the soon-to-be-released music video.

As we waited a bit longer, the second countdown appeared.

After a short 60-second wait, the music video made its grand debut.

***

The new song ‘Dissolution,’ composed by Rain, came out incredibly quickly and at a high quality.

The reason it was released so fast… is that it was originally prepared as Rain’s graduation song.

After adjusting the song to fit me and the featuring guest, it was released as part of the Miro Family’s work.

When I first heard about it, I was shocked, but Rain’s explanation later made sense.

After all, she…

Had given her all to feature that person in her song.

I turned my attention to the music video.

Just then, my part had ended, and a white-haired girl appeared in the video.

A mysterious girl with white hair and white eyes that reminded one of winter.

She soon began to sing in a tone that matched her enchanting appearance.

– ???

– ?

– Is this real??

– Is this for real?

The viewers experiencing the music video live sent in their questions, perplexed by the girl’s appearance and voice.

And well, they had every reason to be puzzled.

Although there might be many who don’t know her domestically, for those tuning into my stream, most of them should recognize her.

– No way, what is this?

– Seriously, what is this?

– Wow, LOL

Because the girl who just appeared is none other than—

The current top virtual YouTuber, and historically the strongest virtual YouTuber.

Every time she released a song, it charted, and she collaborated with major companies in Japan as if it were a routine.

– Insane, LOL

– Why is Izakaya Sake showing up??

– I seriously never imagined this.

– This is crazy, LOL

Seeing such a renowned figure unexpectedly feature in my song caused the once-watchful chat room to explode with excitement.

This song certainly doesn’t need any promotional efforts.

I thought this as I enjoyed the shocked reactions of the viewers while watching the music video.
