GOTTA GO- SOLOIST BOOK 2 (ON HIATUS)

@8

"Thank you for taking care of me." Andrea gave her temporary manager a fake smile. She couldn't thank god enough for taking her out of this misery.

Junho was finally back, he even shifted to a small apartment he bought near the company so he can be around his kids more, both Chaerin and his own one's.

Chaerin cursed under her breath watching her temporary manager grumble as he left the room.

"What is his problem?" Junho asked.

"I don't know. You tell me." Chaerin sighed.

"You okay, Chae?"

"now that you're here, ofcourse." The girl smiled causing, Junho to smile slightly, wrapping his hands around her shoulder, dragging her to the recording studio to record some samples she was supposed to give vocals for. They were already preparing her next comeback alongside BTS, it was pure stress on both side.
Soon she was heading to shooting spot for True Beauty, already wanting nothing but sleep.

"Hi there shortie." Eunwoo grinned as he ruffled her hair. The hair stylist glared at him slightly as they brushed it again.

"You okay?" Eunwoo frowned staring at her through the mirror finally realising that she was asleep, neck in a weird position. The stylist pitied the younger girl and let her rest as she worked on her hair. The older boy took a picture of her face, snickering before leaving for his shoot.

"Andrea-ssi." The director called out. "Your scene next." Andrea nodded, standing beside Ryunnie and Mingi, watching a scene between Gayoung and In-youp.

"Second lead syndrome." Ryunnie mumbled. The girlgroup member surprisingly joined the cast as the character of Sua. Chaerin didn't know to say the least, but she was happy to have her around.

"Yeah bro. Shit feels." Chaerin replied. Mingi looked between them, "Am I supposed to understand that? Because i don't." He said in Korean.

"It's okay. You'll get over it." Ryunnie perked up, smiling cheekily watching the boy sigh in frustration.

"My first scene is getting bullied" she turned share a look with the older girl, " again.", Chaerin said anxiously, "Last time was a disaster. Scared the whole team of Dokgo Rewind and the almighty Oh Sehun. It was embarassing."
Ryunnie gave her a look, "You need to let go of those memories at some point Chae....." She trailed off, giving the girl few pats, "you'll do great. No need to freak out. It's not them, they're not here, and it's around us. It's just acting." Ryunnie smiled reassuringly.

"It's never just acting." She said under her breath, heading towards the main set as the cameras started being set up for the scene.

"You okay?" Yoona asked, looking at Chaerin.

"People seem to ask me that a lot these days." The younger laughed before nodding. She was still nervous, shaky hands hidden behind herself.

Soon she was leaving for the day, having completed her first scenes.

"Good work." Ryunnie nodded. "You did well." She side hugged the younger girl as both the HYBE artists started packing up for the day.

"I still freaked out. You know, it wasn't even as bad as what it could've been back then, but it still scares me somehow." She frowned, "I'm doing better in life, achieving my dreams yet the smallest bad things that happened to me....scare me. I can't move on, with this bad habit of holding onto everything negative around me. I didn't even realise that I ended up being so...... stupid and cowardly. I run away from everything that I should face....i just- can't." She bit her lip, holding a breath before calming down slightly.
