-Evan! Are you going to do it?

Rachel Hills voice came through the phone.

Evan Block dropped the phone that he had been holding close to his ear.

He could tell at once what decision Rachel Hill had made by her excited voice.

Did you talk to Jun?

-Yeah! I read the script too. A zombie movie! It sounds so fun. You read it too, right?

Yeah.

-Are you analyzing the character now?

Evan Blocks body flinched at Rachel Hills words.

He unconsciously looked down.

On the wide desk, a script that he had printed himself was spread out.

It was the script of the Korean movie, Escape.

It was the script that he had received today, but it was already colorful, with a lot of things written on it.

With a bright-colored highlighter, he marked the lines of the role that he would play if he filmed the movie, analyzed the directions, and composed the character.

He recalled the characters past, thought of his habits, and imagined his image in his head.

Thats how a character was born.

Did I seem so simple to Rachel that she could figure me out.

Evan Block lost his words and Rachel Hills cheerful voice came into his ears.

-Right? Im right, arent I? You cant just pass up a good script.

Yeah. I was analyzing it.

-Ahahaha.

Rachel Hills laughter was always contagious, but today it was even more so.

Evan Block put down his pen and washed his face.

Are you going to appear too?

-Of course! I studied Korean hard too!

There are no Korean lines in the script

-Thats why Im a bit disappointed, but theres the directors directing! I finally get to use Korean in real life!

You talk to me too, dont you?

-Youre not Korean.

Evan Block made an awkward expression at Rachel Hills cold words.

-I have to surprise him when I go to Korea.

Rachel Hill imagined Seo-juns face being shocked by her fluent Korean.

-So are you going to do it? Are you going to say yes?

Im going to do it. It sounds fun.

It didnt seem like it would take long to film since it was a short part. It was also novel to act with Seo-jun in a different work than the Shadowman series.

-When are you going to go? I packed everything already.

Already? The script just got finished and they havent even cast the other actors yet?

It would be a long time until filming then. Evan Block said at Rachel Hill who scratched her cheek.

Yeah. You have to sign a contract too, and they have to prepare too.

-Then I guess I have to reply to Jun first.

Rachel Hill tapped her phone excitedly.

***

The day of Yeoul Art Middle Schools entrance ceremony.

Good news arrived from America.

Rachel: Yay! Ill do it!

Evan: Me too. It sounds fun.

He had just finished getting ready for school and was about to leave when he received a message from Evan Block and Rachel Hill. Seo-jun smiled broadly and quickly told his mom and dad and called An Da Ho.

Da Ho hyung! Evan and Rachel are going to appear!

-Oh, really?

An Da Ho calmly accepted the news of the two Hollywood actors appearance.

Other people might think it was impossible, but An Da Ho somehow felt that this would happen when Seo-jun brought up the two actors names.

-Then we have to let the others know too. Ill do it.

Okay!

An Da Ho decided to only inform some of the people involved until a concrete plan was made.

Cocoa Entertainments 5th floor conference room.

It was close to the presidents office and used for the most important meetings.

The 2nd team staff who entered the 5th floor conference room for the first time shrank their shoulders and sat down.

Soon, Kim Soo Ryeon, the head of the PR team, and Seo Eun Chan, the president, entered the conference room.

They were called because of something related to actor Lee Seo-jun.

When everyone who called them came in, An Da Ho stood up.

Its something related to Seo-jun?

Seo Eun Chan asked and An Da Ho nodded his head.

Yes. Evan Block and Rachel Hill seem to be appearing in the movie that Seo-jun is filming.

Yes?

The 2nd team staff, Kim Soo Ryeon, and Seo Eun Chan, who were worried that something had gone wrong, lost their words.

An Da Ho briefly told them what had happened at the hotel.

Zombie movements are unique, so it would be hard to act on the spot.

It would be nice if we could practice separately for at least a month.

But do we have a teacher who can teach zombie movements?

Park Jae Min answered the staffs question.

Theres a dance genre called bone breaking.

A screen slowly came down on one wall of the meeting room.

Bone breaking. The name itself was terrifying.

The staff who watched the video opened their eyes wide. The joints of the people moved in strange directions.

Oh my god There was such a dance?

Isnt that too hard for the extras?

We cast members of a bone breaking dance team. They will play the main zombies.

The staff nodded their heads.

Then what about the background location

The staff who was talking looked at an empty seat and stopped talking. It was where Director Choi Dae Man should have been sitting.

The other staff nodded their heads without saying anything.

It was his third work.

Director Choi Dae Man still went around looking for locations himself.

Lee Han Sol smiled and spoke.

Director Choi will find us a good location. Whats next?

The friends who belong to the same archery club as Go Joo Won. We need to cast child actors since they are middle school students in the movie.

Lets do an audition for that.

Yes. Ill post an announcement right away.

The meeting continued after that.

***

After the first period class ended, the kids slumped on their desks.

They all had tired faces.

It was because they hadnt recovered from the summer vacation yet.

Doesnt it feel like vacation went by too fast?

I know. I couldnt enjoy it because I was preparing for auditions, and then I failed them too.

I didnt expect Joo Kyung to fail either.

Joo Kyung, who had been lying on his desk, sprang up at Jae Hans words.

He was still angry and couldnt stay still.

It was all rigged! I hope they go bankrupt!

Do they look like theyre going bankrupt? Theres only one article about it.

Joo Hee sneered as she showed him the only article she could find.

Joo Kyung sat back down at Joo Hees words.

What are we going to do now? Its all over. What now?

Jae Han said.

I guess Ill just help out with the graduation performance. The audition competition is too fierce

Now that its second semester, we can do it too.

Lets go check out the bulletin board after lunch.

Yeah.

After having a delicious lunch, Seo-jun and his friends headed to the bulletin board.

Someone was standing in front of Yeoul Art Middle Schools bulletin board.

Seo-jun and his friends quickly greeted the person they recognized.

Teacher, hello!

Hello. Did you all come to see the bulletin board?

Yes!

The teacher smiled brightly at the kids. He was about to post a new announcement.

This is an audition I just found.

What kind of audition is it?

Its a zombie movie.

The kids eyes widened at the teachers words.

Zombie? Theyre making a zombie movie in Korea?

Wow! That sounds fun.

Seo-juns eyes sparkled at the word zombie.

He had heard that they were going to hold auditions for child actors, but he didnt expect it to be posted on Yeoul Art Middle Schools bulletin board.

Its amazing to see it like this.

He never thought he would see the audition announcement for the movie he was starring in at school.

He felt curious and read the audition announcement that the teacher had posted.

You cant recognize their faces if theyre zombies.

Thats true. But its also rare to play a zombie role, isnt it?

Yeah. A zombie movie in Korea Its amazing.

It seems like a good opportunity to study their movements

The three friends who read the audition announcement had sparkling eyes.

Seo-jun hoped that his friends would have some good news.

***

Soon, rumors started to spread that a Korean-style zombie movie was coming out.
