The Day Doom Knocked on Our Doors

Chapter 14: A Place I Call Home

After spending time at Jeju, Park Bo Young felt more close to Seo In Guk. Not only did he see her cry as her character in the series, but he was also the only person who knew that the one crying during the shoot was the real Park Bo Young. The person and not the actress.

She had no idea that it was still possible to have fun despite knowing how terrible the inevitable is. It's ironic how seeing him reminded her of her ill fate yet he is also the reason why she's forgetting. It's fascinating how she finds herself vulnerable yet protected around him.

She wasn't really sure if he's doing the same thing for his other leading ladies but then again, none of them dated him. None of them was in a life and death situation with him but her either. Nevertheless, she couldn't help but be jealous. Apparently, once you got Seo In Guk's attention, you don't want to share it with anyone else. Funny how this matter bothers her more than the fact she's going to be wiped out from the face of the earth.

"What are you watching?" Her manager asked. "Shopping King Louis." She nonchalantly answered. She couldn't be bothered with other thoughts right now. "Wa~h. I wonder if I have the same chemistry with oppa as the one he had with his lead here."

When she didn't get a response, she added, "Have you watched this?" And the reply was, "Yes. And yes, you have the same chemistry with him."

"You're just saying that because you want to believe our series would do well." Bo Young said. She was hoping to get more than what she was given. It can't be the same chemistry. His chemistry with her has to be the best.

"Isn't it natural for me to think that way?" The manager asked. "Of course I should be rooting for your series to go well."

"But honestly, what do you think?" Bo Young pressed. She couldn't help but feel uneasy seeing how apparent Seo In Guk's chemistry with his former leading lady was. Even she can feel the butterflies watching them.

"You have the best chemistry. Are you happy now?" The manager said. "No. Unless they're your actual thoughts. Are they?" Bo Young asked back. "My actual thoughts and everyone else's in the set." The manager answered.

"Really?"

"For real. Everyone's been talking about it. If you've noticed, no one's going anywhere near you and him if they can help it. Everyone loves watching the two of you interact with each other." The manager said.

"Now that's an exaggeration." She responded. No one would know how delighted she is to hear that though. She will keep that to her grave. No matter how mortifying that is, considering she only has 10 days left.

"I'm not even kidding. You're gaining fans as a couple from the staff. Even the director couldn't help but comment about it during filming."

"Alright, let's say I believe you. But didn't I have the same chemistry with all of my leads?" Bo Young asked. She was really curious because what she said is a fact. His chemistry with her might be his best. But is her chemistry with him her best?

"I don't think I've seen you interact and be comfortable with any of your leads the way you are with In Guk-shi. You even started calling him oppa very early into the filming." Her manager confessed. "Tell me, do you like him, like him?"

I'll be there in 10.

Seo In Guk smiled at her response. He was hoping he'd get to the house before she does and he did. It wasn't particularly easy to drop by another place before going home but he still managed it.
