Saph: A new character coming through! Hope y'all will like him!

"Cut!" The director yelled as you breathed a sigh of relief. "You guys were amazing! Take fifteen!"

You walked over to the lounge and took your seat as your make up artist rushed to make touch ups on your face.

"Have I ever told you how impressive your acting skills are?" Your handsome co-star spoke with a small smile as he sat down next to you.

"How about no?" You spoke in a teasing tone as he laughed lightly, the one and only Cha Eun Woo.

"Y/N, I'm talking practically." He turned serious. You waved your make up artist away as she politely complied.

"What do you mean, Dongmin?" You asked, calling him by his real name.

"Aren't you tired of acting?" He asked.

"Well, this is just my first drama so I---"

"I'm not talking about that."

"What else then?"

"Y/N, I know you. This isn't you."

"What makes you think you know me?"

"You really don't remember, huh? You know, you have an awfully high alcohol tolerance but when you do get drunk, you become brutally honest. Don't tell me you seriously don't remember the time when you got so drunk and cried on my shoulders and let me see your real side for once. That's the moment I fell in love with you. In love with the real you. Anyways, that doesn't matter right now."

"How do I know you're not making all this stuff up because I honestly don't remember anything like that? And, what does you loving me have to do with this whole conversation?" You retorted.

"Believe what you want to believe." He shrugged as he raised his hands in a surrending mannerism. "But, you cannot deny the fact that I know you inside out."

He was right.

You and Dongmin, being of the same age were very close back then. Though you had met him after and through Jihyuk, he had always remained someone that you could trust. You oddly felt at ease with him, like you didn't have to have your guard up constantly, like you knew he'd never do something that'd hurt you.

What you felt with him reminded you of what you felt with Baekhyun, a sense of safety.

It was rather strange...but either of you didn't really give it much thought. You had both talked about a lot of things and expressed your views and opinions on loads of subjects and surprisingly, the both of you agreed on most of the arguments. Not now, not this particular one however.

"Why have you become this way, Y/N?" He asked softly. He didn't know what had happened a year ago.

"What way?" You quizzed.

"Your eyes, they look like someone has turned off the light in them. They're so... Empty." He frowned.

"Stop being so hypothetical." You rolled your eyes. "You say you know me. What do you know about me?" You questioned as he smiled wryly.

"That you're alone."

"I'm not alone. I've got my members and my dog and---"

"But your soul is lonely."

"What are you? Socrates?"

"Nope, a friend."

"Hmm, new information."

"What's troubling you, Y/N? Why do you keep hiding your true self from people?" He asked and before you could say a witty comment, he continued. "Because you're facing emotional turmoil with your inner self."
