Act 2 | Year 2022: Infatuation

October 2022,

Infatuation.

It's different of being in love. Based on translation, it means an intense but short lived passion or admiration  for someone or something. But, it always got lost in translation. People will either interpret it as being in love or along the lines.

Wonyoung: Oppa ~ What do you think of my outfit today~?

She twirled herself in front of me. To be honest, she does look good in that outfit. Crop top that exposes her toned abs and slim waist. Add to that her skinny jeans that showed off her long legs. I will be an idiot if I'm not attracted to her.

Me: You look good Wony.

I complimented her. She was on cloud nine. Yet, I can't get this solemn feeling out of my chest. Remembering her confession when she sleep talks, it still lingers around my mind. Because, I personally don't know how to answer it if she asked me directly.

Comparing her to Minjeong was like compararing between Heaven's and Earth. These two are very different in personalities. Wonyoung was an extrovert. She likes going out to have fun. Going to funfairs, cafe dates etc.. Minjeong was a 100% house person. She refers to be cooped inside the house watching netflix and eat popcorn.

Wonyoung was a person that talks directly. Not afraid of telling what she has in mind. Minjeong was a person that rarely talks and talks in her mind expecting people to understand her. Wonyoung gives the sexy rich girl vibe while Minjeong represents the quiet innocent girl.

Wonyoung was given the nickname '4th Gen Princess' due to her delicate and feminine visuals. Her smile that can lighten up everyone. She smiles a lot that it gains people's attention. Minjeong was given the nickname '4th Gen Ice Princess' due to her glaring look. Her usual expression was of that of an angry person.  A contrast of Wonyoung's angelic expression.

Yet, these two are eerily similar. Wonyoung expresses her feelings with materialistic stuff with genuine intention. Whether it be accessories or fancy dates. Minjeong expresses her feelings with emotional stuff. She'll be the person who cooks for you by the end of the day.

Wonyoung will be the person that plans all the cafe dates, Minjeong will be the person that plans all the movies to be played on the TV. Wonyoung will be the person that pays all the food, Minjeong will be the person to cook everything.

In the end, these two are the different sides of the same coins.

Wonyoung: Oppa, do you have someone that you like?

She stumbled me with her direct question. Looking me at me intensely, I shook my head.

Me: Not at the moment. I'm focusing more on my career. I'll consider dating when I'm older.

It was true. I'm only 21 this year. I'm more on focusing on my career before even consider dating. I never told this to anyone, even my family. But I'm considering to quit the entertainment industry at the year 2029.

Our first contract runs around 4 years. Until 2025. We already planned to renew another 4 years until 2029. But, I want to quit and help my family with the Bakery. Mom was not getting any younger. She'll be 52 years old by then.

My sisters would already be successful by then. Liz (Age: 23) will already be in medical school. I didn't told her yet but I was already put a chunk of my salary each month for her education. Amy (Age: 21)  will be an idol/actress. I was planning to put her in the same group as Garam in the future. Become a trainee under PLEDIS' new girl group. And Diane (Age: 19) will probably just start university to learn more about the business world.
