Chapter 5 - Chapter 6: Script Changes

Director Min-Soo gathered the cast for an emergency meeting.

"Script changes are coming," he announced. "Our writer, Tae-Oh, has some surprises in store."

Tae-Oh, a soft-spoken yet intense writer, distributed the revised script.

Jae-Hyun scanned the pages, his eyes widening. "My character's backstory has changed."

Ji-An frowned. "Mine too. What's going on, Tae-Oh?"

Tae-Oh explained, "We're adding depth to your characters. More complexity."

Soo-Jin nodded. "I like it. This will challenge our actors."

As they discussed the changes, Jae-Hyun noticed Ji-Hoon's absence.

"Where's Ji-Hoon?" Jae-Hyun asked.

Director Min-Soo's expression turned serious. "Ji-Hoon has concerns about his character's direction."

Ji-An's eyes narrowed. "What kind of concerns?"

Tae-Oh hesitated. "He wants more screen time, and... a romantic subplot with Ji-An's character."

Jae-Hyun's gut twisted. Was Ji-Hoon trying to sabotage their chemistry?

Soo-Jin intervened. "Let's focus on the script. We can address Ji-Hoon's concerns later."

As the meeting concluded, Jae-Hyun approached Ji-An.

"Hey, partner. You okay with these changes?"

Ji-An's gaze lingered on the script. "I'll make it work. But Ji-Hoon's subplot... that's a problem."

Jae-Hyun's protective instincts kicked in. "I've got your back, Ji-An."
