Forgotten Night

Chapter 4

18 July 2018, 8:30 AM

That morning, strangely I woke up on my own. And when I came out to the living room it was Tae Ho who was there to pick me. "Why are you here?" I asked Tae Ho.

"I don't know." He said looking clueless as well. "YuBin Nuna called me in the morning to tell me to go pick Hyung up."

I called Yu Bin on my mobile. Was she really unwell? I felt concerned. That girl works so hard that she even ignores it when she is sick. She does not take any leaves and bear through even severe fever by eating pills and then working like normal. When I see things like that I just feel pain for her. And I really did not want her to overwork. How can I ever stand in front of YuJin Hyung if I am letting his sister work that hard...?

But she cut the call and came into the room through the front door, and she was limping a bit.

"What the?" I walked closer. "Did you hurt your leg?"

"It's just a ligament tear." She said. She had difficulty walking.

"When did it happen?" I asked concerned. "How did it happen?" She did look unwell last night when she left. I did check for fever, but there was no temperature. And she was walking fine last night.

"Last night." She said.

"How?" I insisted.

"Just...accident." She said. "Tae Ho yaa... You may need to drive the van for a couple of weeks. I tried to drive, but I don't think I will be able to drive for a while."

"You tried? You tried driving with that leg?" I snapped at her. "And if this happened last night, why can't you just take a couple of days rest?"

"I am fine." She said.

"Bin aa..." She is so frustrating.

"It's not cool for a star to arrive at a shoot without his manager." She said. "I can't let my Hyun star appear so un-cool like that." And turned to TaeHo, "Let's go, TaeHo."

He did not follow her and looked at me for permission.

"Yoon Tae Ho," as Yu Bin's voice raised, Tae Ho's face spread with a bit of fear and he silently followed her. As always all of the junior staff are scared of her. Some senior staff as well. Even our CEO is a bit scared of her, I think. Even I am dead scared of her though. She can be scary.

8:40 AM

I watched her as she was talking on the phone with some TV Broadcasting stations and Movie casting staff to find new works for me. She was sitting in the middle seat with me and was writing down notes in her big black book as she was talking and appeared really busy. I looked down at her feet. One of the legs was bandaged under her shoes. It looked painful to me. How is she okay with it?? But moreover, her shoes looked way too worn out. Even the edge of her jeans pant looked worn out.

I looked up at her with a bit of concern. She had just hung up one call and was searching for someone's phone number in her diary.

I looked up and noticed that her shirt was missing a button and she had pinned that part with a safety pin.

"How can you wear a shirt pinned with a safety pin?" I asked. What will people think? "If you can't buy a new shirt, can't you find the button and sew it back or something?"

"I lost it," She said, "the button." She went back to search for the number.

"Then wear something else," I said. She always wears this white-blue printed shirt. "You always wear this one."
