"Sir, this is my film. I can only work here if I get enough respect for my creative choices, I can't work for someone who doesn't even consider my ideas. As you liked her ideas, you can go with her and complete your movie, I will walk away" Kang He Jee replied looking at Haneul who stood there gaping
"Common Kang He Jee, don't be like that. No one is against your creative choices; I am just asking you to go with her suggestions as she has a better idea now. Moreover, there is nothing wrong in this. Assistant directors are meant to assist directors in every take, then why are you taking offense?" the producer questioned
"Exactly, an assistant is just meant to assist the director and not tech him, I will be happy if she sticks to that role" Kang He Jee screamed
Ji Woon walked towards Haneul and pulled her aside
"Haneul, quickly apologize to Kang before the situation gets worse"
"Madam, but I have done nothing wrong, I just suggested my idea" Haneul stated the truth
"Haneul, you should not do that before the producer, if you want to suggest something you should do that in private. You have hurt his ego, apologize to him now, go" Ji Woon pushed her
Even when Haneul know that she has done nothing wrong, she was pushed to do that. Feeling dejected Haneul walked to her director
"Sir, I have this habit of speaking stupid without context, please accept my apologies for behaving like that" Haneul muttered looking down
"Don't be sorry young lady, you just gave your idea, I pretty much liked it, I don't understand what's the problem with Kang" the producer replied
"His big fat ego" Haneul wanted to scream but refrained herself from doing that
"I already said that I don't have any problem with her ideas, but I have a separate vision for my work. I can't substitute my ideas for any others, so if you want her to do this, I will happily walk away" Kang He Jee replied
It took every ounce of Haneul's patience to not to scream at him for being so egoistic. Ji Woon signaled her to stay calm
"No Sir, please don't speak like that. As I said, I am an idiot. Ignore my mistake and continue with the work. Shall I brief the scene to our leads? Shall we start shooting?" Haneul asked trying to change the topic of discussion
"Do it as you want Haneul, now that you already won enough trust you can do anything as you want" Kang He Jee muttered
"Enough of your shit Old hag, what's the matter with you? I have been continuously apologizing you, even though I am not at mistake and all you are doing is behaving like shit with your bullshit ego. A director is supposed to help his assistants grow by giving them chances but all you do is crying on us. I think you forgot your roots, let me bring back your nostalgia; you too rose to this position only after working as an Assistant Director. If your senior directors would have been so insecure like you, then you would have been still stuck with assisting everyone. Let me put this fact, you are only in this position because you have those assistants who work their ass off for you without getting their due recognition, your big fat ego will never give them credit. But the day they dare to speak up, you won't have this pride saving you" Haneul screamed at Kang He Jee
Every member present in the set kept staring at her with wide eyes leaving their work as it is. While a few are surprised at the audacity with which an new recruit assistant director screamed at the top most directors in the industry, the others felt happy that someone has enough guts to show the egoistic person reality
No one spoke for a few minutes and kept staring at them with wide eyes. Tremors ran in Ji Woon's body knowing that she will be the one facing the heat, as she is the one who suggested Haneul Koo Young to Kang He Jee based on the merit she showed in the internship she done with the infamous Segen Majo, the one and only address for grooming top class actors, actresses, directors and everyone
"How dare you scream at me?" Kang He Jee stepped towards Haneul but was stopped by the producer and a few others who rushed to his side
"Did you look at her arrogance? Is she the same girl about whom you boasted as talented and respectful?" Kang He Jee questioned Ji Woon who is looking down
"Talent will come out only when one gets enough opportunity Kang He Jee and about respect, do you even know what that is?" Haneul yelled even before Ji Woon can answer her
"What's going on here? Is there anything wrong, sir wanted to know" Wi Trin Sook's manager came running
"Nothing is wrong, it's just something normal" the producer tried brushing the topic off
"So, when will the shoot start? Wi Trin Sir's pack up time is just 15 minutes from now" the manager questioned
"Tell your Sir that he can leave the place if he wants, convey him that the shooting is stalled as the director walked away" Kang He Jee stated furiously
"Are you insane Kang He Jee? What are you even speaking?" the producer questioned unable to understand a thing while everyone looked so interested in the conversation taking place
"I am speaking truth Sir, I got offended enough and I am not going to work in the place where a person like her works. I am quitting this film," Kang He Jee announced
As soon as he announced that talks gossips started in the room and everyone started biting one another's ears. Ji Woon rushed to speak with the director Kang He Jee who is fuming at Haneul who is staring at Kang with disgust
