Author's Note:

Short. Unedited. A work of fiction. The use of other actor or actress's names is only to make the story interesting.

More conversations than descriptions of feelings, because I really love writing conversations.

*******************

In the course of three months, Lee Min Ho and Kim Go Eun had turned to become each other's "one text away."

As in, they texted each other on a daily basis. They shared a lot of things that started as the light topics, to the heavier ones.

She told him her grandmother made the best kimchi in the world, he told her his mom made him curry rice.

They ranted about how tired they were. She with college and he with magazine photoshoots and CF filming.

Their friends noticed how they became more attached to their phones. They said who they were texting with, and their friends were all wowed by it, yet none of them shared much about the other to their friends.

Their menu that night was Chinese food, and they were eating it at Min Ho's favorite executive bar. That bar only sold western food, but Min Ho was allowed to bring food from the outside as long as he rented the VVIP room per hour and buy KRW 200,000 of food or drinks.

The bar became their sitting room every two months. They still enjoyed eating by the Han River every other month.

"I'm recording a mini album" Min Ho informed.

"Omo, jinjja? That's new!"

"I will start a fanmeeting tour soon. And well, I sing at my fanmeetings. So I figured, why not ask a composer to write songs for me. Therefore, I'll be able to sing my own songs and save my staff from having to pay copyright and other things."

"Ah, ne. I think that's very sensible. Is your fanmeeting fun, Oppa?"

Min Ho laughed. "How can I answer that?"

"Uh.....it's your fanmeeting. Who else should answer if not you?"

"It's fun for me. But you can make your own opinion if you attend."

"Is it hard to get the ticket?"

His eyebrows were raised.

"Are you kidding me? I'll give you the ticket, Go Eun-ah."

"Really? Thank you, Oppa. I'll definitely go."

He nodded happily.

"What are you busy with, these days?"

"My biggest project this month is preparing for a theatre performance."

"Ah. What would be the story?"

"It's a historical piece."

"Will you wear hanbok?"

"Ne."

"I'm sure you'll look very nice. Remember to send me the photos."

She laughed. "Oppa, it doesn't matter how I look. What matters is whether I could give a good performance or not."

"You're right. But I'm going to be shallow and say that it will be a great performance, by a pretty performer."

She guffawed, and they resumed eating.
