Like A Star (별처럼)

chapter six.

Taeyeon could feel her heart literally beating out of her body. She tried acting normally, starting off with a short greet of "hello".

"A-Annyeong, Wooyoung-ssi."

"Let's do well, Taeyeon-ssi!"

Wooyoung acted like how normal idols talked with each other. Like they had no past. Like they were new to each other. Like they had nothing to do with each other. This made Taeyeon feel comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time. She tried her best to focus on the photoshoot instead.

"Nice working with you, Taeyeon-ssi."

And Wooyoung just left like that. A part of Taeyeon didn't like it. She wanted the old him back. Taeyeon tried talking to him when he heard him chatting with someone through the phone. She hid herself and planned to "listen" to why, what, and who was he talking to.

"IU-ssi!"

She heard Wooyoung speak.

"Why is he talking to IU? Calm down, Kim Taeyeon. They're just probably working together on some show and they needed to talk. It's nothing important, I'm sure." Taeyeon thought to herself.

The voice from the other line was loud enough to be heard by Taeyeon. He must've turned his phone to loud-speaker mode since the room was really in a noisy environment.

"You done with your filming?"

Wooyoung asked the person he was talking to, or according to him, was IU.

"Al-most. Want me to pi-ick you up af-ter?"

It was a little choppy but Taeyeon still understood what the voice from the other line said. Taeyeon didn't know why, but she felt a little jealous. She wanted to just walk towards Wooyoung, grab his phone, and smash it into pieces. But she had to control herself. She wouldn't want making a scandal in the set.

"You know, the guy should be the one doing that. But anyways, you could pick me up, and I'll treat you for some ice cream. You want that babe?"

It's like a sharp knife went through Taeyeon's heart. He never called her "babe" before. Even though she knew this was her fault, she was really jealous. She still loves him. Very much.

The girl from the other line chuckled before answering: "Ne!" with her cute, small voice.

Taeyeon ran back to her members as she saw Wooyoung walking back to his as well. Since the photoshoot was done, she begged her manager to let her go home. Her manager allowed her, and so she changed her clothes as she ran out of the set.

Taeyeon ran as she wanted to release all her tears. She didn't want to go straight home. She didn't want Hyesun seeing her umma cry. She didn't know where to go so she kept running until she found herself in a park.

"Oraenmanya (Long time no see), Taeyeon-ah."
