Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Dreams Are My Neighbors
All Star Love spent 24 hours to finalize the arrangement of the pre-release song, but they didn't have time to write the lyrics, so they simply handed the entire song over to Mike to handle the subsequent processing, and then packed their bags and went straight to the crew of Sweet Home.
The filming location was in an abandoned old factory area on the outskirts of Seoul. For safety reasons due to the epidemic, a closed shooting method was chosen. Hundreds of staff members, including Jeon Xingai, moved into the filming base to begin preparations before filming.
The frantic work before joining the crew made her lose weight quickly and become as thin as a stick of firewood. However, after the makeup was finalized, she was unexpectedly suitable for the role she played, the high school girl Lee Eun-woo who studies ballet.
In the months between receiving the script and filming, Jeon Seong-ae had read the original manga and script several times. She loved zombie-themed dramas and only regretted not being the lead or supporting actress, who could have had action scenes. She hadn't had any filming assignments in the past few days, and the director was still getting her into the flow and familiarizing herself with the shooting environment. Jeon Seong-ae had plenty of free time, so she checked her phone to check on Hyun-ho's progress with his new album.
-Did you disappear after joining the group? Don't get too close to Song Cang! And don't raise more fish - from Bad Dog
-Ha, playing push and pull with Oppa? You don't even reply to text messages? -from Bad Dog
-I've already apologized for the wardrobe incident that day, but it wasn't my fault the morning before I went to the crew. Why are you still angry and ignoring me? Sorry? Oppa won't laugh at you, you damn bad fox. -from Bad Dog
Seeing the chat history on her phone, Quan Xingai was overwhelmed again. Why couldn't she learn to refuse Quan Zhilong? Why was she always tempted by him?
The night before joining the production, she finally finished arranging music and was too exhausted to drive. She planned to ask her personal assistant to take her home, but was instead pulled into the Rolls-Royce of Kwon Ji-yong, who was also in the production studio. Jeon Seong-ae fell asleep in the car without much struggle, and awoke to find herself in her own bed. The culprit was sprawled on the other side, idly swinging his legs and playing with his phone.
"Moya, why are you still here?"
"We made music together and I sent you home, and this is how you treat me?"
"What are you doing lying here? You look like you've just finished making music and you want to continue."
"Ha, you... I've finally met someone who is not shy at all. How do you say it without blushing or getting nervous?" Kwon Ji-yong looks cute with his eyes wide open.
"I only slept for 10 hours in the past 48 hours. I'm so sleep-deprived that I don't have the energy to be shy." Quan Xingai yawned, his eyes half open and listless.
"Then Xiao Xingai, just continue sleeping. Do you want daddy to tell you a story to help you fall asleep?" Quan Zhilong, who also stayed up late with the other girl, had stubble on his chin. He reached out and patted the girl's back soothingly.
"Dad? How can I have a dad like you? What kind of dad? The kind you like in bed with?" Quan Xingai shrank back into the quilt and curled up, speaking in a muffled voice.
"You, are you still going to sleep? You're talking nonsense. If you don't want to sleep, I can make you exercise." Quan Zhilong also crawled into the quilt, hugged the girl from behind, and patted her butt threateningly.
"Goodnight, Zhilong..." Quan Xingai smiled. After finishing the music, there was no sex, but there was a warm hug. A hug was better than sex. She was so sleepy and tired that she simply relaxed and threw herself into the embrace behind him, letting her consciousness drift away...
…
"Zhilong, I like the line 'I am a talented bear, a fox, not a bear'."
"Baby, can you understand what this means in Korean?"
"You little brat, look down on me. My Korean has improved a lot recently. How's your Japanese? Baka~"
"Ah—that, um—as expected, Sarah, with you around, songwriting went incredibly smoothly for me. I finished the lyrics in one day. It was absolutely amazing!"
"Tsk tsk' my rap will take her to my bed and lay her down 'YOU'RE BUSY young rich man huh?"
"Because I wrote this with Nuna in mind, thinking about how I can hold you in my arms and go to bed after work. No matter how busy or rich I am, I am still Sarah's one and only puppy."
"You, you, you're trying to seduce me with that look again, huh? Damn it..."
"Baby, you are so beautiful. I love your eyes the most, they are like honey. To me, you are one of a kind..."
"What a talking puppy. I love you."
"I love you more..."
…
Quan Xingai dreamed all night in a hazy state, fragments of past memories drifting in and out of the dreamscape, causing her to frown yet lift her lips. She slept soundly, dreaming deeply. The early summer light shone through the white curtains, waking her. She opened her eyes, unaware of the day. Turning around, she saw her puppy still clinging to her.
"Huh? You woke up so early?" The puppy opened his eyes and spoke in a hazy voice.
“Puppy…” She turned around and hugged him, running her hand over the stubble on his chin, “Why is my puppy growing a beard?”
"Huh? It appeared yesterday." The puppy answered lazily with his eyes closed.
"It's cute even with a beard. It's a one-of-a-kind puppy, my puppy." She smiled and felt like she was still in a dream.
The puppy opened his eyes and blinked, looking at the girl's smiling face, he was stunned for a moment, and then the girl in front of him, who always had a bad face, suddenly had a love in her eyes that he couldn't understand, but he didn't know where it came from, and then her lips and body covered him together. His brain hadn't fully woken up yet, but his body had begun to throb in the early morning.
…
Ahh ...
She had impulsively slept with Quan Zhilong again, oh no, half asleep and half awake, and even after they had agreed to be friends! Who was to blame? It was all the fault of the bad dog who insisted on sending her home and sleeping with her! Damn it!
Luckily, she had a movie coming up, luckily she'd hidden herself away on set, luckily they wouldn't have to see each other for the next few months! After taking a shower, Quan Xingai calmed down again. Forget it, she'd already gone to sleep, so now that things had come to this, she could only grit her teeth and pretend nothing had happened! She should probably just read the script; filming for her part would start tomorrow. She had to cut off all ties and focus on her career and making money.
Quan Xingai decided to put aside distracting things like love and romance. After thinking about it, she sent a text message back to Bad Dog, and then put Quan Zhilong into the Do Not Disturb message function.
-Oppa, I have to start filming and can’t be distracted. I’m sorry I’ll be missing in the next few months.
After completing a set of movements, Quan Xingai breathed a sigh of relief. Okay, okay, now she is Li Eunyu.

"Xing'ai, how do you feel about filming these days?" Ji Mingzhen came to the crew with Xing'ai. She had never come into contact with actors and had always been with idols. After watching the filming of Korean dramas for a whole day, she felt that her own child was amazing in every way. She was able to quickly get into the role in her first time and her acting skills were so good.
"It's quite interesting. I feel like I got into the mood as soon as the filming started. I think I don't like Xian Ge and Song Kang now." After filming her own scenes, Quan Xingai sat in her seat with her legs crossed and drank water. Her expression was exactly like the character she played, the arrogant, bad-tempered and sharp-tongued Li Enyu.
"I didn't expect Xingai to be a complete experiential actor. She is really talented. She might as well transform and become a serious actor, like Suzy." Li Daoxian was sitting not far from them. When he heard what the two were saying, he simply interrupted the topic and gave Xingai some advice.
"Oppa, even if I am an actor, I can only play supporting roles if I don't have resources. You can't just become an actor by talking about it." Influenced by the script and the environment, Quan Xingai really joined the crew. She became more familiar with Li Daoxian. In the play, he is the brother who indulges his tsundere sister, so the relationship between brother and sister continued beyond the filming of the TV series.
"You see, even though I'm a professional actor, I can only start with a supporting role and take it step by step, sister." Li Daoxian raised his smiling face and toasted with Quan Xingai.
"Are you talking about Xing Ai's career? This guy majored in drama at Seoul National University. It would be a waste if he didn't become an actor." Song Kang had just finished filming a scene of escaping from zombies, and he was still covered in blood and looked dirty.
"Hey - stay away from me, you're so dirty!" Quan Xingai frowned and stretched out his hand with a look of disgust to stop Song Cang from getting closer.
"It's all syrup, do you want to try it?" Song Chang moved closer with a wicked smile on his face.
"Ahhh, Oppa, look at him!" Quan Xingai jumped off the chair and ran to hide behind Li Daoxian.
The atmosphere among the young actors was very good, and the director also filmed the scene according to plan.
Until Quan Xingai finally ushered in her personal highlight, and finally had to face the end of the world, this world ravaged by zombies. She had to conform to Eun-wook's tsundere, venomous and awkward personality, and also express the fear of discovering zombies and the end of the world.
This is a small challenge for new actors.
"Xing'ai, don't be nervous. You're living in our filming base right now. The advantage is that you're always immersed in the role, so don't worry too much. You're very talented and you're also an experiential actor. This means you're different from other method actors. If I were a method actor, I'd probably have to correct some of their incorrect behaviors and movements, but you're different. You're very smart. I just need to analyze Eun-wook's motivations and psychology with you, and you'll understand."
The benefits of numerous meals and gatherings with the crew before filming began were evident. When faced with complex scenes, the crew was willing to give Xing'ai the opportunity to make mistakes. The director patted Xing'ai on the shoulder, and seeing her serious and bitter expression, he comforted her.
"Yes, director nim, thank you for your comfort. I hope there won't be too many NGs in a while." Quan Xingai curled her lips and smiled bitterly.
"Song Kang, comfort Xing Ai and stop standing there watching the fun with a smile on your face." The director yelled.
"Arasso, I'm coming." Song Cang came over with a playful smile, "Come on, Xingai, follow me."
"Mo? What... where are you taking me?" Song Cang pulled Quan Xingai to the rooftop. There were no lights or special effects. The scene from the rooftop was just a dilapidated factory area and the woods in the distance.
"I know your secret. Quan Xingai." Song Cang turned around and looked at Quan Xingai expressionlessly.
Quan Xingai looked up at Song Jiang, somewhat puzzled. "What? You want to tell me this? What secret?"
"I know about you and Senior Quan Zhilong." Song Cang took a step forward, closer to Quan Xingai. Because of the height difference, he bent down slightly to look at the girl, whose expression changed in an instant and her eyebrows twitched violently.
"What did you say? What about Senior Quan Zhilong..." Quan Xingai refused to admit it and spoke pretending to be calm.
"Don't admit it? That's fine. I wouldn't be so stupid as to tell anyone. I know you're still single, so I still have a chance, right?"
Quan Xingai's breathing became cautious. She saw Song Cang bending over and getting closer.
"you……"
"Are you nervous? What are you nervous about? Are you nervous because you found out that I like you, or are you nervous because I found out that you and GD senior are together? Or... I'm nervous because I want to pursue you?" Song Chang leaned closer, his forehead almost touching Quan Xingai. His eyes were big and round, really like some kind of dog.
