Andrew's grandmother cannot speak or read, and Andrew, who had always lived in a world of cola, video games, and roller skates, at first could not adapt to rural life where not even game consoles or batteries were sold. He began to show his dissatisfaction; in order to buy batteries, Andrew stole his grandmother's silver hairpin to sell it. Andrew even ignored his grandmother, who was darning socks nearby, and started skating on the floor. In this way, Andrew's dislike for his grandmother and the countryside accumulated day by day, finally reaching a climax and turning point.

On the thirteenth day, Mark King and Grandma Irene King filmed this turning point and climax—the fried chicken scene.

One day, Andrew, wanting to eat fried chicken, managed to express his wish to his grandmother through various gestures. However, the grandmother only understood "chicken" and made "chicken soaked in water"—stewed chicken. Andrew was very angry and knocked over his rice bowl. The only response from his grandmother was to keep apologizing with gestures, because she couldn't even afford to buy batteries for the video game console, and because she couldn't fulfill Andrew's wish to eat fried chicken, she felt sorry...

Ignored by Andrew, the heartbroken mute grandmother lay down on the mat to sleep. Unexpectedly, yet naturally, Andrew covered her with a blanket.

After the fried chicken scene, the scenes depicting Andrew's change of heart were not yet over. This process was extremely long, lasting from the thirteenth to the twentieth day, with three location changes and several climactic scenes, during which Andrew's character transformation was completed. During this process, Mark King's performance had already become outstanding.

When the scene where Andrew goes to the village entrance to meet his grandmother began, the entire film's tone became brighter. Afterwards, the atmosphere also became lively and harmonious, and the scenes between Andrew and his grandmother became more sincere and affectionate. In the following five days, to the astonishment of the entire crew and the director and cameraman, Mark King and the elderly Irene King completed two scenes per day without a single NG.

Whether it was the scenes where the grandmother gave Andrew a bowl-cut with scissors, or the scenes where Andrew taught his grandmother to write a letter—even when there was a scene where Andrew was chased by a cow and it took two takes, the following scene where the grandmother searched for Andrew was completed in one go. You have to know, in this scene, Mark King had to perform the most difficult task for a child actor—crying on cue. All in all, as long as the two of them acted together, everything went smoothly.

And so, the scenes came to an end. Andrew's mother rushed from Seoul to take him home. In front of a dilapidated bus stop only half a person's height, the scene with Andrew, his mother, and his grandmother was completed in one take. As the bus started, Andrew, who had previously ignored his grandmother, suddenly stood up, ran to the back window, and waved desperately at his grandmother. With that, the filming of the movie was wrapped up.

Afterwards, Mark King found the elderly Irene King, asked for the village's only phone and the phone number of her son. Having lived two lives, he now understood what was best for the elderly. The old lady had her own son and grandson, her daughter and grandson; watching from afar was actually the best way to care.

After saying goodbye to the old lady, Mark King officially finished filming the movie, and together with the other two child actors, Brian Miller and Linda Green, got on the crew's car and returned to Seoul.

Brian Miller and Linda Green were both trainees, and interacting with them gave him some understanding of the trainee business, though not completely. One was preparing to debut in a band, the other was originally a model. Among them, Brian Miller's family was well-off. At first, he just played instruments on the street. After his voice changed, he found he could sing well and was good at songwriting, so he and a few others who played instruments decided to debut officially. Just two months ago, he signed with his current company through family connections. Now, he was practicing with the band, learning composition, and occasionally participating in activities outside the three major TV stations to build his foundation, such as this movie. Linda Green, on the other hand, was discovered by a model agency scout while walking down the street and joined a modeling company. Unexpectedly, at just fifteen, she was chosen by TTL Telecom as a spokesperson and naturally became the company's favorite. So, the company arranged for her to get this role.

Both of them were fifteen this year, one already in high school, the other in the third year of middle school. When the eleven-year-old Mark King asked them questions, they mostly brushed him off. But even so, through talking with them, Mark King roughly understood one thing: whether as a trainee or in the entertainment industry, it's all about people. Where there are people, there are circles; where there are hierarchies, there is competition. If you meet good people, it's healthy competition; if you meet bad people, it's vicious competition. In short, it all depends on the people—act accordingly.

Chapter 5: Enrollment

Back in Seoul, the days passed uneventfully. For Mark King, once the movie was finished, it was over. Emily Thompson also called, saying he only needed to show up at the premiere, and didn't have to participate in any promotional activities. This made Mark King feel as if he had just attended a summer camp. So, these days, aside from carrying a baseball bat and pretending to be a baseball hero bullying the kids around him, Mark King did nothing productive. Finally, his grandfather, who couldn't stand it any longer, decided to have him apply for middle school.
