Both of them quietly went into the dressing room and made their way towards the worker there. They showed their ID cards, and the worker retrieved 2 bags from the inside before handing them over to her. She asked them to place their present clothes inside the bag if they wanted to store them. After changing their clothes, they handed the cover with their clothes inside to her and walked towards the make-up station.

Both their characters did not need heavy make-up and so it was quickly done and so by 10, both of them were ready to shoot. As they took their seats in a corner, waiting to be called up, both noticed the other actors walking into the set and were also getting ready.. 

After a while, just as everyone on the set was getting ready to shoot, the 2 main leads made their way towards them and took seats. Joon-won didn't know what to say and so he slightly looked at Hea-Jung to start a conversation before it goes completely awkward. 

Hea-Jung seemed to catch his sight and immediately started a conversation. "This is my junior brother, Kim Joon-won. He plays the shopkeeper/crucial evidence role in the scene. Joon-won say hi to the two seniors, Chea Young and U Hyun." not sounding too sincere or too disrespectful.

Joon-won knew both of them, and both were B-Grade actors. Chea Young was quite handsome, at least more than the current him and he acted in quite a few movies with a sizable fan base. He was acting in the industry for almost 6 to 7 years. U Hyun was also pretty, but compared to Hea-Jung, she would be outshined. She had a similar amount of experience as Chea Young. Both looked like they were in their late 20s.

Joon-won bowed a little and introduced himself with a bit more respect, "My name is Kim Joon-won. Nice to meet you, seniors. Please guide me." he did not need any kind of bad blood with anyone in his first film.

The first to respond was Chea Young with a smile on his face as he stretched his hand, "Joon-won-ssi, it's nice to meet you too. I was wondering who was the man who made the director ask the producers for more scenes. It seems like you are very talented." 

Joon-won shook his hand and humbly replied, "I try to do my best, Young Sunbae. I am still new so please excuse some mistakes I might do." making Chea Young smile. 

Next was U Hyun, who covered her mouth with her hand and said while giggling a little, "It is nice to meet you too, Joon-won-ssi. As he said, I also wanted to meet someone who made the director a bit happier. He wanted a good actor for that role and after many auditions, he found one, but that guy called in sick before his shooting even began. You act well, at least from the dramas I saw. Even Hea-Jung was excited to give a chance to her wonderful junior." Glancing at Hea-Jung at the end.

Joon-won nodded and both of them just turned to their scripts. Joon-won, who also wasn't interested in talking with both of them, started to read his script once again before the shooting starts. It didn't take long for the director to call them up and there were quite a few actors. It was Joon-won, the 5 key actors, and two others who played as their bosses in the movie. 

The director looked at them and said, "Well, it's quite an important scene. Let's try to end this in one take and not delay this too much. We don't want to delay our lunch now, do we? Are you ready, Joon-won?" he turned and asked him at the end, making everyone's eyes fall on him. 

Joon-won nodded, and the director asked them to get in place. People came and attached the mics as all of them went to their spots. Joon-won, Chea Young, and Hea-Jung were the only 3 people who were going to be in the interrogation room, while the rest were going to observe from behind a mirror. It was a common scene in many crime movies. The crew will shoot both the groups at the same time and so Joon-won just had to act normal. 

The three went into the interrogation room. Joon-won looked around and noticed the place was very detailed. The room had a simple table, three chairs, and a few papers on the table. The people working did quite a good job with it and so he was impressed. He then looked at the glass and knew the other actors were behind it, also getting ready for the shoot. 

Chea Young already took a seat and said to Joon-won, "Don't get nervous. Just try to ignore everything and look at both of us. The shoot will go on and we can get this done quicker than expected." Trying to encourage the newbie after he noticed Joon-won just looking around. Joon-won looked at him and nodded with a small smile. 

Hea-Jung just remained silent as she took the seat next to Chea Young with her eyes closed. She seemed to be getting ready. Not looking around anymore, Joon-won also took a seat and calmed his mind. 

Joon-won ignored all the sounds from the set as everyone was getting ready and just thought about his practice the night before. He was confident enough to finish the thing in one go and hoped there won't be any mishaps. 

After a few more minutes, they heard the director shout, asking them if they were ready, and he opened his eyes to give a nod. He noticed the two in front of him were also ready. 

The director shouted through his megaphone, "Alright, silence. Ready, Set, and Action."
