”'Such a hot day!'”

”'Don't fret! I know what'll make you feel better.'”

”'What? What is it?'”

”'Ta-da!'”

”'Wow, what are these?'”

”'It's VitaQua, the best new drink in town.'”

”'Hm, is that so?'”

Yeo Ri uncapped the bottle and took a sip of the drink.

As soon as she swallowed her first sip, a gust of air blew in front of her from the oversized fan that was aimed at her. Although she had prepared herself, she was still caught off-guard. Her eyes widened in surprise for a split second before she schooled her expression again. However, her face cramped slightly as she felt a sudden urge to cough.

”Cut!” The director yelled.

”Cough! Cough, cough, cough!”

Yeo Ri placed down the bottle and looked away, trying to control her coughing. She had accidentally choked a bit on the drink.

”Are you okay?”

”You okay, Yeo Ri-ah?”

Her co-stars and several staff members rushed to her side, concerned over her choking.

”Sorry—cough—I'm sorry.” Yeo Ri bowed her head down towards everyone, feeling aplogetic due to her mistake. It was the first take, yet she actually made a mistake! Now, they had to waste more time to re-shoot it. This seemed to only make her already nervous heart become even more nervous. Considering that this was her first commercial gig, Yeo Ri felt pressured to do well.

”No, it's fine. We have to take several shots anyways, so don't be too hard on yourself. Let's begin again,” the director assured the girl.

Yeo Ri nodded her head with difficulty. After Yeo Ri recollected herself, they repeated the scene.

This time, Yeo Ri was more relaxed now that she knew what to expect.

Yeo Ri raised the bottle to her lips, tipping the liquid into her mouth. She tried to concentrate her thoughts on the taste of the drink instead of the fan. She closed her eyes, as if to show how much she enjoyed the drink, her lips quirking.

Yeo Ri then opened her eyes and stared at the camera that was filming her, saying her lines, ”'VitaQua: new, sweet, and refreshing!'” She held up the bottle to the camera, strategically showcasing the beverage.

The camera caught the close-up shot perfectly. Observing the girl, the director nodded in satisfaction.
