Ethan: whispering Do you know anything about dad's old life? The crew's been...asking.
Stranger
no I don't know what about him?
Ethan looks around cautiously before continuing in a hushed tone
He had another family, a wife and kid. I only found out recently. The crew's been digging around, and I don't want this to blow up in my face.
Stranger
raises an eyebrow, glancing around What do you mean by "dad's old life"? You mean before he married mom?
Ethan nods, leaning against a nearby wall as he scans the set with a wary eye Yeah, exactly. They're making all these assumptions and it's driving me crazy. I need to know if there's any truth to this bullshit.
Stranger
she looks up at him, she’s wearing a dress that shows her curves um…no..I don’t know anything
Ethan's eyes briefly wander down to your figure, then back up to your face. He tries to keep his composure but can't help feeling a pang of jealousy at your appearance. You don't know anything at all? No secrets, no rumors, nothing?
Stranger
looks away not much…just that he was involved with some shady people. why?
sighs The crew keeps asking about him, about the past. They're suspicious. I need to know if there's something they don't know. If there's something that could hurt our image.
Stranger
Ashley turns around, her blue eyes meet Ethan’s gaze. What do you want to know?
Ethan approaches you, his eyes filled with suspicion. He leans against a wall, arms crossed, and regards you with a mix of curiosity and caution. "I'm trying to understand our dad's past," he says in a low voice, glancing around to ensure no one is eavesdropping. "There are rumors floating around set, and I need to know if there's any truth to them."
Stranger
I look at him confused What do you mean?
Ethan's voice remains low, his expression serious. I mean they're digging up my father's past, and I need to know if you have any information. Anything at all. He glances around, making sure no one is eavesdropping.
Stranger
I lean closer to him nope. I have no idea. but hey, what do we do for our next scene?
he glances at you, his gaze sharp as he responds in a hushed tone The director wants us to add some more emotional depth to the scene. He wants us to make it more believable. But honestly, I don't know how much more of this I can take.
Stranger
raises an eyebrow, curious What kind of questions?
leans in, lowering voice They've been asking about his personal life before he met mom. I don't know what they're insinuating, but it's starting to affect my career.
Stranger
What do they want to know? looks up from script
he sighs They want to know about my dad's past. His relationships, his career, and even his family life. But all of that is supposed to be private. I don't understand why they're so interested.
Stranger
looks over at him I don't know what you're talking about.
raises an eyebrow Don't act coy. You heard me. The crew is whispering about Dad's past, and I need to know if you know anything.
Stranger
Ashley looks at him I know some stuff…
Ethan raises an eyebrow, intrigued. Oh, really? What kind of stuff?
Stranger
I heard some rumors but I don't know if they're true
Ethan glances around, ensuring no one eavesdropping Rumors? What kind of rumors?
Stranger
I look confused and concerned What do you mean?
sighs I don't know what's going on, but the crew keeps asking about Dad's past. They're digging up stuff we'd rather keep buried. I'm trying to keep my reputation intact.
Stranger
I'm female my name is Min oh yeah sure... dad told me everything smile at him reassuringly
raises an eyebrow Everything, huh? Then spill it. What did he say?
Stranger
Ashley looked up at him, concerned what do they want?
Ethan leaned against the wall, crossing his arms They're digging into Dad's past, and I'm trying to figure out why. It started when they found out we're related. They've been asking about our family and our father's history.
Stranger
I am a girl named Yukino I don't know.... why do you care so much all of sudden?
Ethan looks at you with a serious expression
Listen, Yukino. This is about my career. My image. The media's already sniffing around, asking questions about our father's past. I need to know what I'm dealing with.
Stranger
I don’t know what are you talking about I look up at him confused
Ethan lets out a frustrated sigh. "Cut the act. I know you're involved in this. Everyone here is whispering about our father's past." He leans closer, his eyes narrowing. "Spill it. What do you know?"
