The Ugly Duckling: Rise of the Forsaken Wife 95: High Potential
95The smoke was beginning to disperse as the firefighters sprayed water all over the set.Director Choi was busy reviewing the footage on the monitor, while Danice sat at the side with a towel draped over her head. Because the fire had spread too much, the firefighters had immediately turned on the hose and showered the entire set before Director Choi could even call “Cut.” Fortunately, he was satisfied with the result. The parts they couldn’t capture properly were filmed separately—most of which were Zarius’s scenes.Director Choi spotted her and called out, “Don’t go home yet, Danice. Let’s have a small celebration party tonight with you and Zarius. You both did a great job.”Danice was taken aback, then her eyes curved in delight. “Thank you, Director Choi.”That single praise made all her struggles feel worth it.……Director Choi was very generous. He brought them to a high-end restaurant and rented a private room. He even said his usual catchphrase, “Order as much as you want.”

The camera began to roll, and Zarius fell to his knees, coughing.“Nathaniel, in!” Director Choi cued.Danice took a deep breath and rushed forward, breaking down the door as it collapsed onto the set. Director Choi was satisfied with the impact — that was the kind of strength they needed for the shot.She rushed inside, splinters scattering from the broken door. But the moment she entered, the heat struck her like a wave. When she looked up, she was met by blazing fire. Her face turned pale — in her eyes, the flames seemed to grow taller, fiercer, merciless. They loomed toward her as if about to swallow her whole.She froze. Terrified. As if the fire would devour her again — just like before.“Team, put out the fire!” Director Choi’s voice cut through the air, followed by the hiss of extinguishers and the rush of firefighters moving in.Danice finally snapped out of her daze, glancing around in confusion.“Danice,” Director Choi called out firmly, “the fire will spread fast. I need
The Ugly Duckling: Rise of the Forsaken Wife 93: Facing Fear
After dinner, the three of them went back to the apartment complex where they were staying.Facing the “poorly maintained” building, Zarius froze. He had been imagining a hotel—with a grand reception desk in the lobby and an elevator. But this place… was this even a hotel?“Which floor are you staying on? I got my room on the third floor,” Danice asked.Zarius’s disbelieving eyes turned to Gilbert. The latter felt his boss’s prickling gaze and chuckled awkwardly. “...Fifth floor. I thought there was an elevator…”Zarius: “…”When Danice walked a bit ahead of them, Zarius hissed under his breath, “Why didn’t you tell me the place was like this?”“Boss, you didn’t ask. You just said to find a room quickly.”Zarius: “…” So it was his fault?!Unfortunately, he had already told Danice he was staying here. Canceling the room now might offend his new “brother.” What if Danice thought he was too picky or looked down on places like this? That would give a terrible impression!Zarius gritted hi

Thirty minutes later.“Zarius, are you ready?” Director Choi asked from behind the monitor.Zarius, seated at his desk, nodded solemnly. After Danice left him on the rooftop, he had mulled over her words again and again. ‘Live as Zeke. Only you will understand.’ Perhaps he hadn’t given life to Zeke as much as Dani had given life to Nathaniel. For the remaining time, Zarius spent it alone, thinking about Zeke’s life—and the life behind the script, the one that couldn’t be described in a few words.He took a deep breath, adjusted his mental state and closed his eyes.“Action!”The room fell silent. The ticking of the clock echoed, its sound magnified in the still air.Zeke opened his eyes. He looked tired, exhausted—his gaze dull as he stared blankly into space.Slowly, his gaze dropped to the knife in his hand. From the emptiness in his eyes, a faint flicker of emotion began to surface—pain, hesitation, fear.His hand trembled as he tightened his grip on the handle. The blade hovered

Zarius shut the script. Scene 45—this was one of the hardest scenes he had ever had to play. He could only hope all his preparation for it would finally pay off.“Action!” Director Choi shouted, and the camera began rolling.Zarius stared into the empty air, his gaze fixed on the clock. He recited Zeke’s inner monologue in his mind, channeling those emotions into his eyes. Then, slowly, he lowered his head to look at the knife in his hand.“Cut!” Director Choi’s voice boomed through the megaphone. “Zarius, you’re about to kill yourself — end your only life with your own hands! What do you think a person should be feeling inside?!”Zarius: “...” He followed the script flawlessly — what had he done wrong this time?For this scene, he had interviewed many suicide survivors, watched countless films and documentaries, and even talked with psychiatrists about it. But knowing something and expressing it the way Director Choi wanted were two very different things.Zarius tried again — and aga
The Ugly Duckling: Rise of the Forsaken Wife 90: Scene 45
In an all-boys school in the countryside, the production team had moved in, setting up lights and cameras everywhere. The students crowded outside a certain classroom, eager to catch a glimpse of the shoot. Despite the staff’s attempts to isolate the area, they couldn’t stop the curious boys from gathering near the set. Fortunately, none of the troublemakers managed to sneak inside.It was the first time the school had ever been used as a filming location. Being a public school, its facilities were far from ideal — some rooms were vandalized, several chairs were broken, and the equipment was outdated.This was exactly what Scriptwriter Kelly and Director Choi envisioned — a raw, imperfect place that captured the rough reality where the upright yet stubborn protagonist had grown up.When Zarius arrived, the students immediately gawked at him. Despite wearing a worn-out uniform, his hair messy and face bruised for the role, his handsome features and celebrity aura still stood out.“Is t
