Chapter 60: School Trip

Camera-captured footage needs correction.

This is because by adding an overall color to the video, you can control the atmosphere of the video and express its identity.

If you put a yellowish filter like an old film, you can create an atmosphere like noir.

If you put a slightly pale and cold filter, you can create an atmosphere like high-tech and cyberpunk.

The atmosphere of the video can be created with a single filter.

That’s why we choose and select filters so that we can convey our intentions.

So that the video can be more beautiful.

So that the video can be richer.

The world is the same.

So that the world can be more beautiful, so that the world can be richer, this world adds a filter called seasons.

In spring, a soft and warm pastel-toned filter on budding sprouts.

In summer, a clear and contrasting filter on beautiful petals.

In autumn, a soft and moist filter on falling leaves.

In winter, a cozy and fluffy filter on the snow piled on the trees.

It puts on various filters and shows us a beautiful world.

And in order to change each film, a natural transition is needed.

A mysterious moment when the previous filter and the subsequent filter overlap for a moment.

A period in which softness and clarity coexist.

A season that passes from spring to summer.

“Our class 1 will go to Jeonju for a school trip~ Everyone, please tell your parents well and make sure to deliver the handouts~!”

Our school started events for students.

“…Damn it.”

Vroom vroom-

A tour bus carrying twenty students of the class runs on the highway, making engine sounds.

It was a large bus that could accommodate up to 40 people, so it would have been possible to sit one person per two seats,

but energetic children prefer two to one, and four to two, so many bus seats waiting for people’s buttocks became bag holders for children.

And I was not an energetic child, and I prefer being alone to being with two, and two to four, so I sat alone in a place where I wouldn’t be noticed by the children,

but for some reason, a energetic child occupied the seat that should have been my bag holder.

One person who doesn’t like to sit together and one person who likes to sit together.

You can tell who is losing more without having to say it out loud.

The energetic child smiled, holding the camera up to me.

“The school trip will be fun. Right, Sua?”

“No…. Please put the camera away….”

“No. PD told me to film Sua a lot during the trip. He trusted me and entrusted me with this, so I have to work hard!”

“Sigh….”

I turned my head away from Heo Jintae’s camera attack and banged my head on the shaking window.

I tried to wash away the headache that came from the vibration felt from my head, but it seems to be insufficient.

How did I get into this situation?

Why am I at this kind of kids’ event….

After hearing the announcement of the school trip from the teacher, I naturally spent time without saying anything.

But I was the only student who didn’t bring the consent form, so the teacher had a separate consultation with me.

I was persuaded in various ways, but I refused, so they called my guardian.

That’s right, the director.

The director anxiously called Lee, and Lee, who heard the news, grabbed me and said this.

-When you’re young, you have memories, and when you become an adult, you can’t make them even if you want to. If you skip this moment, you will definitely regret it?

-But, I don’t have anything to do there, and all the kids are just hanging around me. Isn’t there no need to go? I think it would be more efficient to just stay home and study editing or directing.

-The editing is overflowing with stock, and you’re not really studying directing right now. It’s more valuable to do what you can do at your age, so go.

-I don’t want to.

-I’ll confiscate your computer for a week.

-I’ll go.

‘I should have just gotten it confiscated and stayed home. I could have gone to a PC bang….’

Of course, there is no editing program that I use at the PC bang, so I would have to use a free program, but the thought that it would be much better than this situation is springing up.

He even attached surveillance using a young child who likes me….

No, but when did the two meet and talk about that?

Lee, who made good use of the method that Song Jieun told him, handed me a card and told me to buy delicious food with my friends, along with a mission-like request.

If I succeed in the mission by looking at the card details, he will let me skip school for a few days.

Of course, Heo Jintae is a guard, so he is not included.

“I’ll take beautiful pictures of you while we’re on the trip, so don’t worry about it, Sua. Okay?”

Heo Jintae, who was already excited, put the camera close to my face and couldn’t calm his excitement.

I can only sigh, thinking that this will be the case for two days and one night.

Fzzzzt-

From afar, the jealous gazes of the girls became lasers and aimed at the back of my head.

Ouch, it stings.

Jeonju is a place with an old-fashioned atmosphere.

The famous food is bibimbap, and the famous tourist spot is Hanok Village.

So, naturally, the activities in Jeonju were similar to that.

You could choose to experience various crafts such as Hanji, pottery, and handmade rings,

and after that, the children were scattered one by one according to the teacher’s instructions to freely tour the Hanok Village and enjoy the school trip.

The group of boys mostly ran out to play traditional games, and the girls were busy taking pictures or filming TikToks.

TikTok again, damn it.

And, for those who applied in advance, you could rent and wear Hanbok….

“Do I really have to wear this…?”

“Since we’re here, let’s try it on. The director will want to see Sua in Hanbok too.”

Lee arbitrarily applied for the Hanbok experience.

“Ugh…. By the way, why are you here when you didn’t even apply for Hanbok? Go play tuho or yutnori with the boys over there.”

“I have to film Sua!”

“Ah, I see. Just do as you please.”

The boys he always hung out with were away, so I said it casually, but he didn’t listen at all, as if he had stuffed his stubbornness into his butthole.

Heo Jintae, who diligently changes the battery and films me.

I wonder if this guy is more talented as a camera director than an idol.

I sighed at the reality that I couldn’t escape and obediently chose the Hanbok that the staff chose.

A color that wouldn’t stand out because there were cherry blossoms falling around and many people were wearing it.

I chose the Hanbok and went into the fitting room with the staff.

“Um, do I have to wear this too…?”

“Of course. What’s the point of wearing Hanbok if you don’t decorate your hair?”

“Then, this….”

“You’re cute and pretty as you are, but since you’re wearing Hanbok, we have to make you even prettier~”

I sat in the fitting room and the dress room in the corner for a few minutes.

In the meantime, several staff members gathered and tied, hung, and patted various things on my hair and face.

I felt the sensation of hair and makeup for the first time, and I wanted to wash my face right away, but I couldn’t bear to do it when I saw the staff who were proud after completing me.

I put on the flower shoes that were prepared for me and went outside.

“Ah, Sua, you’re out…, Wow!”

Heo Jintae, who looked at me, widened his eyes and admired.

Then he immediately lifted the camera and started filming.

“You were always pretty, but you could be even prettier?!”

“…Are you doing that on purpose?”

“What?”

“Nothing….”

How many boys can honestly say that a girl of the same age is pretty?

That’s just flirting.

If another girl in our class heard that, she would have confessed to him right away.

But Heo Jintae looked innocent as if he didn’t know anything.

Children are scary.

“Wow, Sua, you’ve become so cute and pretty. Shall I take a picture of you?”

“No, it’s okay. He’s filming anyway….”

“Haha, that’s right. It’s good that there’s a cameraman for Sua.”

“…Then I’ll go out and wander around.”

Somehow, my face started to feel hot, so I quickly left the store and mixed into the crowd.

As I expected, many people were wearing Hanbok, and in line with the time when cherry blossoms were falling, most of them were wearing pink Hanbok.

But what I didn’t expect was something else.

As soon as I left the store, I was immediately met with people’s attention.

“Hey, look at that kid. She’s so cute!”

“How can she look so much like a doll…?”

“I think the boy behind her is filming. Is he her brother? They’re both so cute, really.”

“The Hanbok is so small that she seems to be toddling!”

“She’s a total baby princess.”

Small voices whispering from around.

Even though it was a slightly noisy place, the voices directed at me came straight to me.

What I didn’t expect.

In Hanok Village, if a child wears Hanbok, it stands out just by that.

Moreover, a child of the same age is following behind with a camera.

“Come here quickly…!”

I grabbed Heo Jintae’s hand and ran.

And I covered my flushed face with the sleeve of my other hand.

First of all, to a place where there are no people…!

“Why are we eating hot dogs in this corner when you’re all dressed up….”

“Just eat, okay?”

The place we arrived at was an alley next to a hot dog shop in the food alley.

It’s a place where people don’t come very often, so I caught my breath and took a break.

I thought I was used to hearing that I was cute, but it was just that I was used to the people at the broadcasting station.

When I heard that from strangers, my ears were burning and I couldn’t bear it.

“Sua, you’re too shy. If you want to be an idol, you have to be able to handle this much.”

“I have no intention of becoming an idol.”

“I think you’ll be popular if you debut.”

“I said no.”

Being an idol is one of the most physically demanding industries.

If you’re not popular, you have to travel around the country to promote yourself.

If you are popular, you have to go to various broadcasts or events to raise your value.

And you have to sing and dance on stage.

It’s a schedule that you can’t do with normal stamina.

It’s something I can’t even imagine, but maybe this guy can do it.

“Then, let’s just hang out like this today. We don’t have anything to do anyway.”

“Huh? Let’s go play over there.”

“If you’re bored, go find the boys. Don’t stick with me.”

“Well, it’s fun talking to you, so it’s okay.”

“Too bad.”

It was an opportunity to get rid of him.

After eating the hot dog, I looked up at the sky, feeling the slightly cool breeze for a moment.

Cherry blossom petals fell in the wind and a few stuck to my hair.

Since my hair was tied up and decorated, I thought it would come loose if I touched it carelessly, so I asked Heo Jintae.

“Can you take off the petals?”

“Ah, yes. Wait a minute.”

Heo Jintae put the camera aside for a moment and looked at my hair.

And he brought his face close and carefully removed the cherry blossom petals stuck to my hair with both hands.

It was that moment.

“Ugh?!”

I heard someone gasp.

When I turned my head to that side, there was a girl with a familiar face, looking at us with a red face.

The girl shouted.

“Wh, wh, what are you two doing in a place like this?!!”

“Huh?”

“Did you two just ki, ki, kiss?!!!”

“What?!”

What the heck is this kid talking about?

Apparently, she seems to have mistaken the situation just now for that.

“Grrr! Seo Sua, I can’t forgive you! You pretended not to be interested, but you kept flirting like a fox! And in the end, you ki, ki, kissed!!!”

“No, so.”

Hearing that, I finally remembered her face.

A girl in the same class.

Among them, she was the one who glared at the back of my head the most when Heo Jintae and I were together.

Her name….

The child with a red face and excitement.

I said to calm her down first.

This is the best way to calm down an excited child.

“Do you want a hot dog? I’ll buy you one.”

Saying that, I bought a cheese hot dog with sprinkles and handed it to the girl.

Oh, come to think of it.

Isn’t this counted as buying food for a friend?
