Chapter 54

The next morning, Yoon Hyun's biological clock woke him up. Although he was very tired from the previous day and sleeping fully dressed was somewhat uncomfortable, Yoon Hyun still got up habitually and went outside to run and exercise. As soon as he came out of the bedroom, he saw the production crew already busy outside. "Good morning, everyone!" Yoon Hyun greeted the staff energetically. However, the response he received was not a greeting from the staff, but... "Why are you up so early, Yoon Hyun-ssi?" The PD looked like he was constipated. "Well, I usually wake up very early... Is there something wrong? Am I causing any trouble?" Yoon Hyun noticed the stiff expressions on the production crew's faces, which were definitely not due to lack of sleep. "According to our routine, it should be our crew waking up Lee Soo Man-ssi, and then he wakes up all the members," the PD said, looking very conflicted. "No problem, just send a cameraman to film me exercising and add some subtitles," Yoon Hyun said nonchalantly, then went out to run around the village on his own. The production crew was left speechless. Not long after, Yoon Hyun returned from his run and started doing calisthenics in the yard. "What kind of calisthenics are you doing, Yoon Hyun-ssi?" A cameraman who had already started filming asked curiously. "This is something I learned online, a type of calisthenics called 'broadcast calisthenics' from China. It's very effective for exercise. People like me, who are too lazy to go to the gym, rely on morning runs and calisthenics to maintain our physique," Yoon Hyun answered while doing his morning exercises. After a set of calisthenics, Yoon Hyun was slightly sweating, so he went to the well next to him to fetch a bucket of water to wipe his body. "Are you sure you want to film me taking a bath?" Yoon Hyun was speechless, seeing the cameraman still following him. "You're not going to strip, right? Filming it is fine," the cameraman said with a smile. Helpless, Yoon Hyun had to pretend the cameraman wasn't there and started wiping his body with a towel. "Yoon Hyun-ssi, your body is so good! I've never seen you show it off before!" the cameraman praised sincerely. "So, you mean to broadcast it on the show?" Yoon Hyun, who was still wiping his body, broke the crew's intentions. "Is that not allowed?" "It's best not to." "Then isn't my filming in vain?" "That's why I was curious why you followed me." ... While Yoon Hyun was joking with the cameraman, the PD entered the room and woke up Lee Soo Man from his sleep. Lee Soo Man, who had probably only slept for two hours, stumbled out of the room and took the megaphone from the production crew, starting to call all the members to wake up with noise. Yoon Hyun, who was taking a bath behind the house, heard the piercing noise and quickly put on his clothes to join them. "Hey! Yoon Hyun-ssi! Don't scare me like that!" Lee Soo Man, who was still half-asleep, was startled when he suddenly saw Yoon Hyun behind him, not realizing Yoon Hyun was no longer in the room. "Oppa, I've been up for a while," Yoon Hyun said with a hint of grievance. Then, the startled members started a game to decide who would make breakfast. The breakfast game involved dodging a pillow with sit-ups before it fell. In the end, Kim Tae Yeon, who was still puffy-faced, failed... Then she had to choose someone to prepare breakfast with her. Although they were still half-asleep, the men were very interested in preparing breakfast with Tae Yeon and volunteered one after another. However, Tae Yeon resolutely chose Yoon Hyun. Amidst the protests of the others, she also chose Lee Tae Hee, who had been very considerate to her the day before, and Kim Soo Ro, who had "defected" to become a fan of Lim Yoona. An excited Kim Soo Ro once again declared that he would always be a fan of Girls' Generation and Kim Tae Yeon. The others, still half-asleep, returned to their bedrooms to catch up on sleep, while these four, who were either lucky or unlucky, had to start preparing breakfast: digging for bamboo shoots on the mountain. "Do we have a hoe for digging bamboo shoots?" Yoon Hyun looked at the shovel the crew had given them and felt a bit depressed. "A hoe? Isn't a shovel more convenient?" Kim Tae Yeon was a bit confused. Yoon Hyun smiled but didn't explain much. As a shut-in, in his previous life, he had learned from a documentary called "A Bite of China" how to dig bamboo shoots. Although he hadn't practiced it, he had at least seen it done. Seeing Yoon Hyun's insistence, the production crew had to find a hoe. There was a bamboo grove behind the village. Yoon Hyun had wanted to check it out during his morning run but didn't want to delay the filming schedule, so he only glanced at it from the foot of the mountain. He didn't expect the production crew to be so considerate and arrange the breakfast task to be digging bamboo shoots on the mountain. After praising the bamboo grove and the beautiful scenery, the four quickly found two bamboo shoots. Eager to show off, Lee Tae Hee immediately started digging, using the shovel to dig a hole around the bamboo shoot and then trying to cut it off with the shovel. However, after a few minutes of unsuccessful attempts, he was pushed aside by the impatient Kim Soo Ro. "You don't dig it like that!" Kim Soo Ro snatched the shovel from Lee Tae Hee and pushed him aside. "Watch me!" Kim Soo Ro struck a pose he thought was cool, winked at Kim Tae Yeon, who was smiling at him, and swung the shovel down... But he still couldn't cut it. Feeling embarrassed, Kim Soo Ro got angry and started to struggle with the bamboo shoot. With Lee Tae Hee's help, Kim Soo Ro finally pulled out a bamboo shoot, which was already broken into two pieces. The two, exhausted to the point of almost collapsing, still tried to show off to Kim Tae Yeon. "Yoon Hyun oppa, why don't you help?" Kim Tae Yeon smiled at Yoon Hyun, who was watching from the side. "I don't want to be like those two idiots!" Yoon Hyun glanced at them disdainfully, then took the hoe the crew had found and slung it over his shoulder. "You look good with a hoe, Yoon Hyun-ssi," Lee Tae Hee, who had just been insulted, tried to retaliate: "You look like a man who has used a hoe for decades!" "I don't see any scholarly aura in Yoon Hyun at all. He looks like a loafer hanging around the village convenience store!" Kim Soo Ro also attacked. Yoon Hyun didn't say anything, walked to Lee Tae Hee, and said, "Come on, cameraman, give us a full-body shot with Tae Hee oppa." The cameraman, not quite understanding Yoon Hyun's intention, still took the shot. "Well, I think the audience can clearly see who the village loafer is," Yoon Hyun said, then walked toward the remaining bamboo shoot. Lee Tae Hee opened his mouth to protest but then closed it. Today, he was wearing an old green tracksuit, and with his haggard appearance, he really looked more like a loafer than Yoon Hyun... Standing in front of the bamboo shoot, Yoon Hyun prepared, aimed with the hoe, and dug it out cleanly. "Wow! Yoon Hyun oppa, you're so good!" Kim Tae Yeon cheered. Kim Soo Ro and Lee Tae Hee, who had been ready to mock Yoon Hyun, were instantly speechless. The camera gave a close-up of their astonished expressions with their mouths open... Due to Yoon Hyun's excellent performance, the breakfast preparation task was quickly completed. However, the PD was concerned about the broadcast time and asked the four to play some games in the bamboo grove... Then he handed each of the three men a bamboo pole over a meter long... Naturally, the men started playing with the bamboo poles like magic wands. Yoon Hyun had trained in martial arts for the drama "One Branch Plum" before, although he was later replaced, he didn't abandon the martial arts skills he had learned. After playing for a while, Yoon Hyun thought it wasn't right to leave Kim Tae Yeon out, so he pulled her over and asked her to teach the three men the walking style of a girl group. "It's like this, step forward with your leg, then follow with your hips, and use your hips to move your body forward," Kim Tae Yeon demonstrated twice and explained briefly. Then, the baton was passed to the game master, Kim Soo Ro. "I'm good at this!" Kim Soo Ro started swaying his hips, like a willow swaying in the wind... Well, that analogy might not be appropriate, let's say like a sturdy willow tree battered by a typhoon. "Haha..." Kim Tae Yeon burst out laughing, losing her composure. Then she went into a fit of laughter. Under Kim Tae Yeon's lead, the four walked back and forth in front of the camera using Kim Soo Ro's "hip-swaying walk"... "I know another fun one..." Kim Tae Yeon said, still not satisfied: "It's like this, turn your right hand behind you, then turn it forward and place it on your left hand, make a 'please' gesture, and shout 'kill!' Isn't it impressive?" Then the four started shouting "kill" together. "Let's shoot a sitcom!" Kim Soo Ro suddenly suggested. "What kind of sitcom?" Kim Tae Yeon showed great interest. "A martial arts sitcom," Kim Soo Ro explained: "Assassin and princess." "Are you addicted to shouting 'kill,' Soo Ro-ssi?" Yoon Hyun, who was already in the mood, didn't care about the randomness. "Come on, Tae Yeon! You play the princess. Yoon Hyun, you play the assassin, who tries to kill the princess," Kim Soo Ro started assigning roles. "How can you bear to kill me, Yoon Hyun-ssi?" Kim Tae Yeon made a pitiful expression. Yoon Hyun's facial muscles twitched, and he turned away. "What about me?" Lee Tae Hee, who was eager to participate, asked. "The village idiot?" Yoon Hyun made a stabbing motion. "The secret admirer of the princess..." Lee Tae Hee tried to resist but could only say after a long pause: "The village idiot?" Kim Tae Yeon laughed so hard she fell to the ground. "You're the prince! The prince! The secret admirer who protects the princess from behind!" Kim Soo Ro was still very considerate of Lee Tae Hee. Lee Tae Hee was moved to tears. Then Kim Soo Ro started designing the martial arts moves. The two first clashed their bamboo poles, which were pretending to be swords, three times in the air. Then Yoon Hyun swung his "sword" at Lee Tae Hee's feet, who jumped to dodge and then swung down. Yoon Hyun raised his "sword" to block, and the two engaged in a close-range struggle, then pushed each other away. Lee Tae Hee then took the initiative to attack Yoon Hyun, who, in a panic, blocked with his sword, and his weapon was knocked away. "So, is this a story of the prince successfully protecting the princess?" Lee Tae Hee looked excited. "Next, I'll demonstrate for you!" Kim Soo Ro, the director, personally stepped onto the stage and said to Lee Tae Hee, "Come, stab me." Then, Kim Soo Ro skillfully swayed his hips and dodged. This move was clearly the famous girl group walk! Then Lee Tae Hee stabbed again, and Kim Soo Ro dodged. Lee Tae Hee stabbed again, and Kim Soo Ro dodged. In three steps, Kim Soo Ro was in front of Lee Tae Hee, then he flicked Lee Tae Hee's head and said, "Now you can fly out." The story took a twist! "So, is this a story of the assassin successfully killing the princess?" Yoon Hyun asked. "Then the princess and the assassin live happily ever after," Kim Soo Ro concluded. "So, is this a story of the princess using love to transform a cold-blooded assassin?" Kim Tae Yeon asked. Then the story officially began. In a bamboo grove, the princess was playing joyfully: "Wow, the scenery is so beautiful! The air is so fresh!" Suddenly, a dark figure appeared in the distance. "Great, I need a woman to cook for me!" The assassin appeared with an evil smile. The prince, who had been hiding in the bamboo grove like a peeping tom, bravely jumped out, stood in front of the princess, struck a cool pose, and coldly asked the assassin, "Who are you?" The assassin, with an evil smile, drew his sword: "I am the assassin!" His hoarse voice revealed a chill. The prince, cold and handsome, drew his sword and engaged in battle. Using his skilled martial arts, he knocked the assassin's weapon away. "Die!" The prince thrust his sword, representing justice, at the assassin! ... The assassin took a step forward, swayed his hips, and dodged. I stab again! I dodge again! I stab again! I dodge again! Finally, the assassin came close to the prince and used a lost martial arts technique: he spun his right hand behind him, then swung it forward, pointing at the prince's face, and shouted, "Kill!" The prince was fiercely struck by the assassin, fell to the ground, and died. The scene became quiet for a moment. "Wow! So cool!" The princess was captivated by the assassin's martial arts and intelligence. "I still need a woman to cook for me!" The assassin walked to the princess and extended his hand stylishly. "Wherever you go, I will follow." The princess shyly placed her hand in the assassin's... The end. [End of Page] [Start of Advertisement] [End of Advertisement]
