I hope she's happy

Chapter 3

Y/N FLASHBACK POV

It was a year after we graduated from College. I landed with this dream job of mine, and Seo Joon was starting to rise to fame from the acting gigs that he's been doing. Things were relatively well back then.

"Jagiya, I've got something to discuss with you," said Seo Joon as you guys were doing the dishes one night.

Y/N: Yeah, what's up?

Seo Joon: You know how there's going to be a loveline between the lead actress and myself right?

Y/N: Yes.

Seo Joon: I just read the script and there will be multiple skinship and kiss scenes. Are you sure you are okay with it?

Y/N: Oppa, we've talked about this before. Yes, I might get jealous. I have feelings. But I know you're loyal to me! I know you love me. Plus, you're just doing your job. We already know it's part and parcel of your job even before you started to rise to fame. So don't worry. Just do what you have to do.

Seo Joon dropped the plates and gave you a back hug.

Seo Joon: You're the best, do you know that?

Y/N: YA! You're getting soap onto my shirt!

A few months past, Seo Joon and you were watching an episode of his latest drama. When the credits rolled, Seo Joon looked at you and said, "So, how is it?". You got up from the dining table and started to clear the table. Seo Joon followed suit and within seconds you guys were discussing the episode.

"Well, if i may say, that was one hell of a good kiss right there," you teased Seo Joon. Seo Joon smirked and said, "it's just sad that it ain't you that I was kissing". You bumped Seo Joon with your hips. "No, seriously. People have asked me how I make it look so natural and real. Little do they know, it helps that I have a girlfriend that I can imagine kissing." You turned to look at Seo Joon and gave him a peck on the cheek.

Within weeks since the drama was first aired, the drama picked up in popularity. In fact, there were loads of buzz about the authenticity of the chemistry that Seo Joon had with the lead actress. Many were starting to think Seo Joon and the lead actress, Hwang Jung-eum, were in a relationship.

"Spotted: Park Seo Joon and Hwang Jung-eum on a date at Gangnam."

"Is Park Seo Joon and Hwang Jung-eum dating?"

"Park Seo Joon and Hwang Jung-eum spotted holding hands at a cafe"

Countless articles, such as the ones titled above, were floating around the internet. Needless to say, Seo Joon was practically too busy filming the rest of the show to notice them. However, that did not stop rumours about his relationship status from spreading all around Korea. "Don't let it get to you. You know it's not real. It's for publicity. It's not real," you said to yourself one night as you laid in bed alone.

As Seo Joon got busy with filming the rest of the show, and having a jammed packed schedule that usually didn't coincide with yours, you were spending lesser and lesser time with him. Things got to the point that the only time you two ever get to see each other were glimpses of one another sleeping in bed, as the other gets ready for work. This, later, went on for months.
