I'll tell you in 30 years

1 - Let's Begin with the End

"I need to stay here for a few more days, I can't come back. When I wrap up, let's go somewhere."

"Mmmm..."

"Just one more week...Zee, are you upset?"

"No, I understand, don't worry, Jun."

But what did I understand? 

Quietly, I threw away the Japan itinerary that I had printed out.  I planned out the whole surprise, tomorrow morning, wake Jun up and drive him to the airport, and depart to Haneda.  I was salivating over the images of unagi bento and sukiyaki, and the look on Jun's face when we arrived at the international airport.  He would be like, "What are we doing here?"  and then I would go, "Running away to Japan.  Finally, this is happening, after talking about this for so long."  He would be like, "Are you crazy??"  Yes, yes, I am, but still sane enough to plan with your assistant to free up your schedule for one week.  

Then I imagined the twinkling in your eyes, when it hits you, finally our 9 years promise was coming true.  Unfortunately, the person who was caught in the surprise was me.

After hanging up the phone, I went to our car in the basement, to take out the luggage that was packed and hidden in our trunk and back to our empty home, and started unpacking.  

 So, it has come to this stage. It wasn't as if Yee Baiyi (YBY), my childhood friend, didn't warn me...months ago.

YBY: Do u know what is going on with your man?

Me:  What?

YBY: He has been getting too close to his female lead?

Me: With Dil?

YBY: Yup!

Me: They are just co-stars, shooting a new drama together.  

YBY: U stupid or wat? I bumped into them going to the hotel together!

Me: The production company arranged the same hotel for everyone

Me: Easier to move around

Me: Of course, they will go back together lah

YBY:  Jun was hugging and holding her!!

YBY: Is that normal? She seemed drunk

Me:  Arg...that is the kind of person he is

Me:  Always take care of others

Me: When I got drunk, he also took me back to the hotel

YBY:  Yeah, and then what happened??

YBY: U slept with him!

True also. In fact, that was how we started....10 years ago...when I was the top artist, and he was a newbie. And now, I am a nobody, and he is the top artist... how the tide has changed.

That was the first warning.

The second, third and the whole bloody flood came in one after another.....like a tsunami.

You couldn't even log in to twt without seeing posts about them.... the bts, of how Jun hovering over her, taking care of her, giving her mineral water and feeding her...liked how he used to.... when we were working together. 

I still remember that night, our first night. 

The producer visited the set and invited the whole crew for a Korean BBQ. She booked the whole restaurant, and it was so noisy, with everyone chatting and munching. I might have a little bit too much soju. 

Let me tell you, drowning soju on an empty stomach and tired body, is a bad, bad idea...please don't try this ever.

Halfway through dinner, my stomach was queasy, and I stumbled. My bloody assistant, Su started whining, aiyo, not yet eat full, and now I must send you back to the hotel.

The next thing that I know, Jun, my gangly, awkward, shy 2nd lead hugged me from behind and said, "You keep eating, I will send him back. I also want to go back already. Such a long day today." 

I had been eyeing Jun for the past two months.  Despite his amicable nature, he has a way to push people away, building a wall for himself.  Many times, I witnessed our makeup jie-jies and other crew members trying to get close to him, to touch him, but he always managed to side track everyone.  

Of course, I would take the opportunity to lean on him and press harder...Too bad or too good, the restaurant was just next to our hotel. In what seemed like a mini microsecond later, we were at my room door.

"Where is your room tag?"

"In my pocket." I started acting more drunk than I already was, digging through my pants to take out the tag.

"Lie down on the bed."

Seductive pose mode ON.

"Why do you look like this? You need water?" He uncapped a bottle of mineral water and passed it to me, "Drink some, hydrate yourself"

Who uses the word hydrate?? Seriously, he is just too cute for words.

Just sloshed some water on my t-shirt...haha, see if you can withstand my body in wet t-shirt or not.

"Aiyoo Zee, your shirt is wet. Take it off, you will get chills if you sleep like this....."

Then, you undress me la...He went to the bathroom, took a dry towel, took off my t-shirt and started wiping me.

"You wet your pants too. You okay if I take it off?"

Of course, of course...take everything off, but what I did was just give a drunken hmmm and wiggled my body so that he could take it off.

Then...then what happened leh? Silence...it was silence.

He moved away and then next thing I knew, he took my pajamas, trying to dress me up...what? I don't want to wear anything, in fact, I don't even want you to wear anything.

As he came near to me, I hooked his neck and brought him down on the bed, pressing his body to me, and kissed him, fervently and passionately...

If my wet t-shirt body couldn't tempt you, my naked body couldn't tempt you, see now if you can reject my kisses or not...

Of course not, and this was how I got my steel rod, straight co actor to top me that night... and what as night it was...

And remember when he said he was tired, that was a lie...he was definitely not tired at all, he literally took me round the world, on the bed, in the bathroom, on the bed again and in morning, in the bathroom again.

Thank you, hotel, the coconut oil and condoms, it helped. My body was wrecked the next day, wrecked, I tell you.

It was so bad until my makeup artist was glaring at me, to cover up my eyes bag and the love bites on my neck.

I found out that night, not only he played a villain role in the movie that we were shooting together, but he was also an actual villain, a rascal, in fact, the worst of the worst, in real life...and I was dying for our next trip, round the world.
