He woke up groaning.
He woke up before the alarm even sets off.
He woke up to an emptiness.
Yesterday was like a dream. A good one. That he had hoped he would not woke up from.
He had nothing in his schedule. He is free but his mind is busy. He cannot fell back to sleep. Back to those dreams. A dream with her.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Their group Whataspp was even quiet.
Perhaps everyone is still resting.
Is she still sleeping?
Has she had her breakfast?
Just yesterday, he does not have to have guessed all this. He can freely go up to her van and ask her. Do you have good rest? I brought you ice americano.
Just yesterday, she would reply to him with a smile on her face. With those little crinkles of her nose and crescent-shaped eyes.
" Good morning Go-Eun-na. Wow, it felt weird not having to run around with a full schedule. Can you believe that we have finished filming? It felt like yesterday I got to meet you for script reading." he types. and deleted.

Although she is a heavy sleeper, today's sleep left her. She is tired but not rested. She kept looking at her phone. It used to be so active. Their group Whatsapp used to be so lively. Do-Hwan silly joke. YoungJi cute dog videos. He's asking everyone to join him for a meal.
His private messages to her. " Have you tried today's catering food?". "Let's go to the food truck!"
He would come knocking with his signature knock to her van. Seeing that broad smile. "Gaja!"
They would sit together, away from the camera. He would tell the staff, they need to discuss the plot. They would exchange looks knowingly that is far from what they are going to do. They would have a different menu and end up sharing most of the meal. They will talk about anything. He would show her the picture or videos of Choco. How he misses Choco a lot. Telling her that Choco is the only girl that will wait patiently for him to come home.
She sighs heavily.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A day.
A week.
A month.
Their distance grew.
He disliked it.
The replies are getting shorter, more seldom, less intimate.
He knew she is busy with other projects. sometimes multiple projects at one time.
He knew she is going to work really hard for each project.
She is that kind of person.
He knew she would be careless of her health sometimes. Not that she is a carefree person, but she is too dedicated that sometimes she just forgot to take a break.
He hated that he cant freely take care of her like he used to.
Is this how it going to end.
Just us being another co-worker.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Being managed by his own company means he can delegate his work more freely. How he had hoped she would too. He told her about this. And she would just praise him.
" I am not a famous actor like Sunbae. I must work harder"
Sunbae. Coming from her, those words stung him. He had tried many times to make her be more casual with him. but each time she just bows and said: " I can never disrespect the King" and he knew, yes the wall is up.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's been a year after TKEM.
It felt like ages.
They haven't been able to meet up.
He had hung out with Do-Hwan and Eun-Chae several times but not her.
In their group WhatsApp, YoungJi would supply them with her selfies with Go-eun.
She had changed her hairstyle.
She looks lovely.
Closing his eyes, he tried to remember how that hair smell like. They smell like roses and her. He got to admit, he had once asked his staff to get the same shampoo or perfume that Go-eun used. They got the same brand. But it can never really smell like her.
Do-Hwan shared the Kahi Advertisement of Go-Eun. everyone in the group praise her. she would reply with a blushing cheek emoji. and that is it. nothing more.
Just like a stranger.
He replayed those videos more than enough. like a school boy watching his crush.
On TKEM anniversary, the Whatsapp group grew lively. Everyone is praising each other for their great job.
He had planned for a reunion. but through Eun-Chae. Eun-Chae knew him well. She is like the big sister of the group. and especially to Min-Ho.
He is excited and scared at the same time.
But he is determined.
He couldn't wait for it to come sooner.
He is patient. Yes. But he is not a saint.
