Children of Psyche (LisRene)

VII - The One with all the Jealousy (Part 2)

{2 months later}

Lisa's POV

Today is the first day of the resume shooting for Irene's movie. We actually thought her movie would be canceled because it kinda took forever for the producers and the new director to come to an agreement.

Since I already borrowed her manager's life before, I couldn't borrow it again. Good thing that the company gave Irene a new personal stylist/ assistant because her former stylist is currently taking a break when she delivered her second baby 2 weeks ago.

I am now borrowing the life of this kid named Ryujin who is currently taking a break from school to earn money so she can continue her studies in the future. If she manages to earn enough money, she will go back to school again next year.

"I'm sorry kid, but what's your name again?" Irene's manager suddenly asked me  as he drove us to the shooting location. I am currently sitting on the passenger seat beside him.

"My name is Lisa, ahjussi."

I suddenly felt Irene staring at me again through the rearview mirror. Since we picked her up from her home, she kept on glancing at me through the rearview mirror and whenever I caught her staring, she would immediately avert her gaze.

We finally reached the location and the producers started introducing Irene to the new director. I also saw Irene's co-star Bogum being all cheerful once Irene arrived at the set. I focus so much on Irene's old friend from high school Sehun that I forgot that Bogum still exists.

A staff accompanied us to a tent which will be Irene's dressing room for the whole taping. I helped Irene's manager to carry all her bags. She will be having her snack first while she's having her hair and make up done.

Irene: You said your name is Lisa?

I was currently preparing her clothes when she suddenly asked me a question.

"Yup. At your service, Hyun."

I suddenly saw her brows furrowed as she stared at me through the vanity mirror.

"What's wrong, Hyun? Do I have something on my face or do you find me attractive?" I asked teasingly but she just rolled her eyes at me and took a deep breath. I felt someone tapped my shoulder and it's Irene's manager.

Manager: Why are you making fun of her, kid? And call her Miss Bae. Aish. Kids nowadays are truly unbelievable. Oh, I forgot the first aid kit bag. I'll be right back.

When her manager left the tent, I felt something touch my arm. I looked at it and it was Irene handing me a sandwich in a disposable plastic package. I just stared at it since I'm not sure what she wanted me to do with it.

Does she want me to open it for her? But that's ridiculous since the packaging is not hard to open. Is she acting like a spoiled celebrity?

Irene: Have something to eat. Our trip earlier took longer than we anticipated. I bet you're hungry too. Eat.

I slowly grabbed it from her hand as I looked at her like I was calculating her actions. I felt weird because these past few weeks she's been too nice to me no matter whose lives I borrowed. And she's starting to creep me out.

Irene: Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face or do you find me attractive?

She mimicked what I said earlier and started chuckling. She's being playful and it's really unusual of her. This isn't the Irene or Joohyun that I know. What is happening to her? Did she hit her head that I didn't know about? Or am I dreaming? I started tapping my cheek to check if I could feel it.
