Happy Lunar New Year!!!! 🎉
I wish that all of us will be healthy and safe this year ,including the following years.

The day that Sohyun is preparing for has already arrived. Her mother is already in Seoul. They were now in a small restaurant waiting for Taehyung, her acting manager. 

Sohyun decided to go out for a while to contact Taehyung.

"Aish! Why is Ajusshi not answering?" 

She saw a man running towards her. 

"Why are you only here?" She asked.

"Sorry, I just woke up."

"What? It is already 1 pm... and you only- never mind. Let's go inside, my mother is waiting."

Sohyun introduced him to her mother, "Eomma, this is Taehyung Ajusshi, my manager. Ajusshi, this is my eomma" Taehyung bowed to the woman in front of him who was just wearing simple clothes. 

"Good day sir, I'm Jeon Joohyun, Sohyun's mother." She also bowed as a sign of respect. 

They started to eat. 

"Eomma, now I don't have to go to college right? I'll just focus on acting." Sohyun said 

"The reason why I'm here is to give this" Joohyun gave an envelope containing her college application. 

Sohyun opened the envelope. She was shocked to see what it contains. "Eomma, you said you will support me. I don't want to study college."

"Sohyun-ah, it is better for your future if you study. I chose a course about acting so you can do what you love. You have to live long, sweetie, and look forward more to your future."

"Manager Kim, it is alright if she studies right?" Joohyun asked Taehyung. 

"No worries Ma'am. I agree with you." He answered. Sohyun gave him a death stare. She doesn't believe Taehyung agreed to her mother. 

Sohyun just admitted the fact that she has to study for her mother. She got the role she was auditioning for. Like what she promised to Taehyung she gave ¼ of her income. 

Sohyun worked hard to achieve her dreams and study at the same time. When she was walking around the university. She saw someone familiar. She saw Taehyung. It is impossible for him to go here because he is now working, she thinks. 

When she was going to her apartment, someone bumped her on the stairs. The one who bumped her is in a hurry going down.

"Sorry Miss," He bowed and continued going down. She only saw the man at the side and he really looks like Taehyung. Why is she thinking about him? Her mother trusts her so she will just go to Seoul when Sohyun needs her. They will continue to communicate through calls and text. Sohyun is really a stubborn girl while her mother only agrees with her because Sohyun will be more stubborn if she doesn't follow her. When Joohyun goes to her apartment, she just gives some food and medicine to Sohyun then she will leave.

Now, it is impossible for Sohyun to meet Taehyung again.  

A few days passed. 

After a long day, Sohyun feels weak. Maybe that is because of the rain last night. She has to go to shoot a drama with Kim Seohyung, the female lead on the drama she will play on. Kim Seohyung is known for her amazing acting skills on Temptation of Wife, Sky Castle, and more.  It is a privilege for her to be able to act with her so she'll never lose this opportunity. 

She called her mother to ask what medicine she should take. 

"Sweetie, are you okay? I can't go there because there were no flights today." In Jeju, the storm is really heavy compared to Seoul in that it is just light rainfall. 

"Yeah, eomma. It is just my stomach is slightly aching"

"Have you eaten?" Joohyun is really worried about her daughter. 

"Yes eomma."

"Okay, I'll call Wonwoo to go there." Dr. Jeon Wonwoo is her private doctor who is now based in Seoul. He was the one who was taking care of her. 

Dr. Jeon went and gave her some medications. He can't look at her the whole day because there was an emergency at the hospital. He told her to just stay at home and rest. As all you know, Sohyun is stubborn so she doesn't obey him. 

 

The shooting with her goes well even though she still feels so weak. 

She is on her way to her apartment. She was about to step up on the stairs but her eyes became blurry. She continues her steps upstairs. She was pressing the code to open her apartment door. She will go in. She collapsed, thankfully she was caught by someone.

The one who caught her said. "Sohyun?" He kept on calling her. He carried her inside to her bed. She has a high fever so he put a wet cloth on her forehead. 

He heard a sound that came from Sohyun's bag. He got it because maybe it was one of her family members. They have to know her situation right now. 

He answered the call. 
"Sohyun-ah, how are you? is your stomach still aching? Hello?" Said, Dr. Jeon. 

"Hello" he said shyly. 

"Who is this?" Dr. Jeon is worried about why a man answered her phone.

"Hello, this is Taehyung. I'm her friend or I can say I'm her neighbor. Yeah! Neighbor. I saw her faint earlier because of high fever." 

"What? Where are you?" 

"In her apartment"

"Okay, I'll go there. Don't give her some fever reliever medicine yet." Dr. Jeon was worried if he gave her an ordinary fever reliever because that was not good for her health.

She takes Acetaminophen for her fever and pain reliever. She doesn't have that kind of medicine in her apartment because she takes too much that is why the medicines there were for her stomach ulcer medication. 

Dr. Jeon arrives and checks Sohyun. He gives her some medication again. She is really stubborn. 

"Is she okay now?" Taehyung asked.

"Yeah! She just has to rest. This girl is really stubborn. I told her earlier not to go out. By the way, thank you for your help," Wonwoo said to Taehyung. 

Taehyung bid goodbye. Wonwoo led him to the door and said "Can I ask you a request?" 

"What is it?" 

"Can you sometimes look at her? I was worried because she is not listening to me either to her mother. By the way, I'm not asking this as her doctor but as her older brother.  Please! Just check her if you have time. She doesn't want to live with me and she also doesn't want Eomma to go here." He wants Taehyung to report what Sohyun was doing if he has time. Wonwoo and Sohyun were half-siblings. When Sohyun was 8 years old, her mother remarried but their relationship didn't last long because, after 5 years, Mr. Jeon died. Joohyun considers Wonwoo as her own son likewise Mr. Jeon to Sohyun. She really feel devastated when Mr. Jeon died. She didn't even meet her own biological father then that happened. Since then, Sohyun didn't take care of herself properly.

"Okay," Taehyung agreed. This is not that hard. He now has more time because he was fired to the acting agency because they were decreasing employees because they were already bankrupt.  He now looking for a new job.

"Thank you very much"  they exchanged their phone numbers.

Taehyung left to go to his apartment which is only located on the left side of Sohyun's unit. He only knows today that they were neighbors.
