The rhythmic tap of rain against the windowpane receded into the depths of his consciousness as he honed his focus on the present moment. The crew member, a seasoned veteran exuding an aura of authority, lifted her gaze from the meticulously organized clipboard cradled in her hands. Her eyes met Minjoon's, and a radiant smile lit up her face, exuding warmth and reassurance.
Their gazes locked, forging an electric connection that bridged the gap between stranger and artist. It was an instant of unspoken understanding, a silent recognition of shared passion and commitment to their craft. In that fleeting moment, Minjoon felt a surge of confidence, buoyed by the affirmation that he was in the presence of someone who truly comprehended the profound significance of the undertaking at hand. The crew member's smile deepened as if to convey a message that whispered, "You are in good hands." It was a smile etched with the traces of countless hours spent on film sets, countless stories told, and countless dreams nurtured. Within that smile, Minjoon glimpsed the dedication and expertise that had propelled her to her current stature.
Time seemed to suspend as Minjoon absorbed the details of the scene unfolding around him. The film set hummed with orchestrated chaos, a tapestry of moving parts and focus energies. He took note of the meticulously positioned lights, casting an ethereal glow upon the meticulously crafted set pieces that transported him back to the opulence of the Joseon Dynasty.

Guided by the crew member, he ventured through the bustling film set, traversing purposefully designed pathways that led deeper into the world of Flower and Sword. Imagination reigned supreme, and artistry breathed life into the realm of possibility.
As they continued their journey, Minjoon's mind buzzed with excitement and anticipation. The crew member, aware of his role as an upper-rank assassin under the command of the formidable mistress known as The Maiden of Unyielding Noble Virtue, led him towards a discreet tent nestled within the set, reserved exclusively for the assassin characters. The tent exuded an air of mystery, its darkened interior suffused with a faint aroma of incense. It was a sanctuary where secrets were shared and deadly plots were hatched. Stepping inside, Minjoon's eyes adjusted to the dim lighting, revealing an array of ancient weaponry meticulously displayed on the walls. The glint of daggers and the curve of intricately crafted swords beckoned to him, whispering tales of countless battles and unseen dangers.
The crew member motioned towards the impressive array of weaponry, her voice barely above a whisper yet resonating with reverence. "This is the armory, Minjoon," she disclosed, her eyes reflecting a mix of caution and admiration. "It is not only where your first scene will unfold but also where your arsenal awaits.

With a subtle nod, the crew member continued, "Before stepping into the spotlight, you must have your lines committed to memory." Leading Minjoon towards the changing area, she guided him to the dressing room where his transformation would take place. Attending to his attire and applying makeup, she meticulously prepared him for the role he was about to embody.
As the senior crewmember, Han Jiyeon, guided Minjoon, he could not suppress the trembling coursing through his hands. Upon reaching the dressing cabin, he paused to catch a glimpse of his reflection in the mirror.
Minjoon's attire exuded an aura of intrigue and stealth, perfectly befitting an assassin of his caliber. Clad in a sleek ensemble of midnight black, his garments were meticulously crafted from a high-grade blend of lightweight yet durable fabric, ensuring optimal mobility during his missions. The expertly tailored robe featured a subtle sheen, hinting at its superior quality, while its intricate stitching provided an elegant touch.

Each needle possessed a distinct balance, granting Minjoon unrivaled accuracy in his strikes. Gleaming with understated brilliance, the silver needles were a testament to both their exquisite artistry and lethal purpose.
Advancing toward the location where his upcoming scene would be captured, an involuntary surge of memories inundated Minjoon's thoughts, transporting him back to the moment he absorbed the concise yet captivating synopsis of his role and the impending scene.
