예순 다섯

Wendy

"Wendy, when are you even getting ready? You know that I needed to pick up my boyfriend and he is texting me like crazy, telling me to hurry up but I am here waiting for you in my car." I rolled my eyes at the person who is yelling at me from my phone.

I am not dressing up for work, I always dress like a slob when I am going to work, I have no one to impress at work and it is not like I am working as an actress or something. I had made up my mind to never do anything relating to acting and I have kept my word, rejecting all the acting jobs that were thrown towards me ever since they found out that I had won the best new actress award last year and all the directors have been dying to sign me as their female lead but I have rejected them all because I don't like acting.

Acting is what I have learned and I know that I am good at but I don't enjoy it, it is not my passion and I would rather hide behind the monitor and create those characters instead. Some people might think that I am a weirdo for not wanting to act again even though I am so good at it. After all, I started off wanting to be a scriptwriter and I became a writer for about 4 years before I start writing for film again.

Scriptwriters don't need to dress to impress whenever they go to work but I am not exactly going to work today, I am supposed to be attending the awards show ceremony and I am being nominated for the best scriptwriter and there is a very high chance that I will be winning, that was why I was forced to attend the ceremony in case I do win and I will be able to receive the award in person.

I have never expected to get nominated so early in my writing career and so many scriptwriters are way better than me, for example, the writer who wrote the penthouse series or the writer who racked their brains to write the nevertheless webtoon and there is me, who has already been doing this for only 2 years and I don't even think that I am going to win against all the other scriptwriters.

I successfully hooked my earring into place and I looked at myself in the mirror, checking once again for any tiny details and I made my way down to the basement where SooYoung is waiting for me in her car.

She is reapplying her lipstick when I opened the door and she looked at me with an annoyed look on her face. "What took you so long? Did you suddenly got an inspiration for a new story idea that you have all forgotten all about me?" She let out a sigh. "We are supposed to be leaving 10 minutes ago so that we can actually avoid all the cars at peak hour and now we are going to be in a traffic jam."

"I am so sorry, who knew that these earrings are so hard to put on?" I told her. "I would have just stayed at home and you guys have to convince me to attend the ceremony, and I have to pretend that I am liking everything, I had a full day planned for me at home and now everything is being postponed for a freaking awards ceremony."

"You don't know if you are going to win the award, the others have no idea as well so you might as well show everyone that you have the confidence to win the award and Jung HoSeok is going to be as well for the best male lead award." She said to me.

"He has a whole day of work for him to do and he is sitting out this year and the team has already taken a video of him accepting the award, it is a very high chance that he would win this award and you know that," I told my dear friend.

"He will be there, I just know it." I looked at her, wondering why she is so confident that my boyfriend would make his appearance at the awards show ceremony later when I don't have any updates from Jung HoSeok himself. "Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked me.

"I know that something is up and although I have no idea what it is, you better tell me now or I am going to sit here until the awards show ceremony is over." She gulped down her saliva. "I knew it, just tell me the truth."

"I am not going to tell you anything." She started the car engine. "We can still go to the awards show ceremony because I am the one who is driving and you don't have a driver's license."

"If I ever catch you in action, I am going to wear your clothes for the next one year," I told her and she drove me off to the venue and dropped me off, she didn't dare to say anything more to me and she quickly drove off.

I looked around for any traces of Jung HoSeok and I don't see him around at all, he would be crazy to ditch his work and come all the way here just to wear a suit and sit here for 2 hours to receive one award, I am just here because they want all the nominees to make their appearance whether they will get the award or not.

The media flocked to me as soon as they saw me and I feel so uncomfortable, why are these people putting all of their attention on me again? "Wendy, do you have plans to act again? We miss you so much and we would like to see you on screen soon."

I smiled at them. "I don't work for a small fee and no one can force me to act unless you can give me a pay so high that it is comparable to the best paying actresses and I will disappear from acting forever if no one can do that." I waved goodbye to them and made my way inside.
