The shoot the next day starts at 8 am and it feels a lot better. I passed out in bed at 8pm yesterday and slept until 6am. I was absolutely exhausted. I fell asleep whilst typing out a message to Han, so when I wake up I have a whole bunch of messages from him.

H: Bells?

H: Did I say something wrong?

H: You're making me worried ah

H: You fell asleep didn't you?

H: Wish I could be next to you

H: But we wouldn't get much sleep then

H: Lol

H: Okay goodnight

I just stare at my phone. Why is he acting like a frat boy? I smile to myself. It's weirdly attractive though. I start typing.

B: Ah Hannie... I fell asleep, sorry

B: Oh? No sleep? What exactly do you think we'd be doing?

I can't help but tease him a little.

H: I think you know.

I almost blush. Goddamnit. I'm an adult, I have no issue to talk about sex and whatnot and clearly I'm not an innocent virgin. But for some reason he makes me feel like a teenager.

B: Ah you tease!

B: I look forward to seeing you later

H: Me too

H: I'll try and come talk to you later

B: Ah... don't do anything too risky

B: I'm happy I could be close to you yesterday... but it felt very dangerous lol

B: Maybe we need to be more careful

H: Hmm... I understand what you mean

H: But I don't think anyone suspects anything

B: I hope you're right...

B: I have to get ready! See you soon ~

30 minutes later I'm heading to my car after a quick shower. I put my long hair in a high ponytail and let my curtain bangs hang down my face and frame it in. Since it's supposed to be very warm outside today and we're gonna shoot outside, I'm wearing a black tennis skirt and a cropped white tank top. I throw on some discreet jewelry, like my favourite butterfly necklace. I put on a pair of pale blue Nike Air Jordan's and grab my handbag. I feel slightly overdressed but there's no way I'm going to work in long pants today. And no, this has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I'll be seeing Han again. Absolutely nothing. I open the door to my car and get in just as the phone rings. I look at the display and press the answer button.

"Yeah?" I say, whilst putting on my seatbelt.

"Good morning to you too"

I laugh. "Sorry Em, I'm just in a rush."

"Ah, heading to the shoot?"

"Yeah" I say as I drive out from the garage.

"How was yesterday? Was it awkward?"

"Mm, a little" I say. "But not as much as I thought. But I didn't have to interact with them a lot. So I'm hoping it stays the same today. What are you up to?"

"I'm heading to a meeting now, then I'm going home to pack for Monday."

"Ah right! I can't believe it's already happening. How long are you gonna be in Jeju?"
