Again

6: When she took a step forward

When Minji woke up in the morning, nurse Min was there, checking some charts. The nurse immediately noticed it and stood up to assist Minji. She gave her a glass of water, and after drinking, she asked,

"Where's Yoohyeon?" The nurse just gave her a small smile.

"She's in surgery right now, Ms. Kim. She told me she'll go here right after the surgery."

"Did you get some sleep, nurse Min? I'm sorry for keeping you here all night."

"Yes, I did, Ms. Kim. And don't worry, I wanted to make sure that you're okay too." They both chatted and learned more about each other until Yoohyeon came.

"I see you're enjoying each other's company." They both laughed and the nurse made her way outside of the room. Before she completely went out, she said,

"It was fun talking to you, Ms. Kim. I hope we get to do that again soon."

"I'm glad as well for keeping me company. Thank you." Yoohyeon thanked the nurse as well and hurried her way out. Minji's smile on her face dropped when Yoohyeon had someone behind her.

"Minji, she's gonna be my new assistant, Dr. Cho Haseul." Minji bowed and the other doctor did it too.

"It's such an honor to meet you, Ms. Kim Minji. I'm such a huge fan."

"Oh- uh, thank you." Yoohyeon sat beside Minji and told her,

"We're gonna be busy all day so I don't think I'll be able to stay with you today. I have to tour Dr. Cho around the hospital and get her acquainted with the other staff. Yubin and Handong are coming though, with Hyewon, to keep you company." Minji forced a smile and nodded,

"Okay, I understand." She squeezed Minji's hand in hers and let go when their friends came in, also shocked with the new face. They introduced each other, until it was Yoohyeon and Haseul's time to go.

"I'll come and see you later." Yoohyeon opened the door and let Haseul out first before she did. Minji was saddened that Yoohyeon's attention would be divided now. The family inside the room noticed it and Handong told Yubin to get Hyewon out of the room for a minute while she talked to Minji.

"Hey, everything okay?" Minji nodded. She doesn't know if it's alright to feel this way since Yoohyeon has nothing to do with her.

"Yeah, it's fine. I'm fine." Handong smiled and gave her a hug.

"It's okay, Minji. I understand."

Being an actress is hard because a lot of actors try to control you, feel like they're the superior ones. Handong was a new actress but she had a feisty attitude that she didn't expect. She talked back to actors trying to get in her pants and to directors that were disrespecting her. They would meet for the first time today for a new movie and Minji was nervous.
