Then Came You

The Preparations

He woke up all smiles and joyous all week. They spent so many time together discussing about the upcoming drama where they both cast as the main leads. Practicing the lines, sharing advises, rehearsing the scenes. Preparing to work on a project had never been this fun.

They would going to the set together, holding hands, hugging, sharing meals, talking and every little things they could do without raising any suspicions. He could meet her, catch a sight of her divine face, breathing her intoxicating smell, experiencing her delicate touch, embracing her gorgeous body, discerning her angelic voice, and all of them would happen every single day of filming. He felt jittery, anxious and restless by that thoughts only. He couldn't stay still sometimes he had a thought of having ADHD.

Look at her sleeping peacefully like a baby on his bare chest. Looking cute wearing their matching pajamas, even though he'd only wear the pants. The scents of her hair engulfed him, her warmth, her subtle breathing, delivering some weird but precious sensations that he never knew he needed before.

Before her, he thought his life was already perfect, he had nothing he didn't have, nothing he didn't get. The fame, the money, the look, the talents, the skills, the fandom, the projects, the awards, the social circles, he had them all. Everything was in place for him. But then she came. She came barging in, changing his world. If he inhabited the great forest with all of enormous trees before, she came making the flowers grow within the woods. If he resided a great city full of tall buildings, she came with the lights made everything brilliant and bright. That was her. That was her who made his already jealous worthy life meaningful. He held her tighter, terrified that if he loosen his embrace, something would take her away from him.

"Breakfast!!!" She shouted happily waving the packs of their breakfast that has just delivered. He just finished brewing coffee, poured it to their mugs while she hummed a song and place their breakfast in bowls.

"Waaaa... Neomu johda..." She smelled the chicken and mushroom porridge they had as their breakfast that morning. He smiled and nodded agreeing, took a spoonful for himself.

"Geunde, Oppa... I feel so nervous today. I have never been this nervous for my confirmation of a role before. I'm so excited and scared at the same time. Control yourself Seo YeaJi..." She took a deep breath, looking so cute his hand move itself bopping her nose. She blushed again, he cracked a smile.

"So, you're sure gonna deactivate your account? You could just, you know, deactivate the comment sections."

"I think I have to, Oppa. I never portray someone like Ko MoonYoung before, so I have to make her character believable. And my account feed? Not so much." She giggled and shrugged her shoulder.

"Also to imagine the comments section would full of your hungry fans, it would be like..." She shuddered.

He took her hand, caressed it with his thumb. Smiling. How he love the owner of this hand.

"So, have you made the appointments? To your research plan?" She sipped her coffee.

"Yes. I planned to meet him someday on the first week of the upcoming month." He ate his porridge, hand still holding her hand.

"Oh okay. Ah, Oppa, I'm going to go with eonni to baby spa today, and gonna spend sometime with my eomma after. So... See you tomorrow?"

But the next two weeks passed over in light speed. They barely met each other as she started to do her research for the character. Being a method actress, she often sunk in her research and shunned him away. But still he was glad she didn't shut him out completely.
