End Game: My Brother, My Friend.... My Lover?

JUNGHWAN

        "Annyeonghaseyo Sasangnim." 

        " Oh, good Junghwan you're here. Sit down sit down. We'll start in a bit. I'm just waiting for someone before we start."  He asked how our meeting with the members went and also he curiously inquired Junkyu and Haruto's condition.

Now that the J-line members are back, keeping us busy is the best way to avoid getting distracted. Since the scandal last year, though he doesn't interfere with our relationships, he just made it a rule to inform him who and the status of our affairs.

"Annyeonghaseyo Sassangnim!" A familiar female voice greeted the President and as Looked up to see who, I was a little surprise to see again Kal Sowon entering the conference room.

      'No wonder we met earlier, she's also here for the meeting.'   Still wasn't able to grasp the reason why I am here, I just nod and smile at the new comers and waited for Sassangnim to talk.

    "Ok now we are all here. Let's start."

     YG gave an intro regarding the new project they are starting next month. Initially they casted another male actor for the lead but due to some personal reasons the actor backed out. And since everything was set to start filming YG decided to fill me in for the role, which is for him a great advantage since both Sowon and I are under the same company.

       "Sowon-a, you probably know So Junghwan already right?" He asked.

       "Deh, Sasangnim, we met before during our company dinner and we also attended the Dior Event last Summer." She smiled at me after.

      "And he was the one who helped me in my dance cover for my fanmeeting 2 years ago" she shyly added.

      "Sincha?" YG surprised by her revelation, turned to look at me after with glint of teasing in his eyes. Its like saying 'I see you boy, I see you.'

       "Well that's good news cause Junghwan will be the new lead and as you have read the script this series is a little too sweet, nothing too sexy but the couple scenes are really more touchy and intimate since its an of marriageable age couple life set up. At least you are already both familiar with each other, it will be easier to get close and simulate faster your roles." He explained.

         "Deh, Sassangnim."  Sowon and I agreed simultaneously.

         "One more thing, Junghwan-a, I know we have our coming plans for the group, but that would probably take months preparation and we just got the Jap Members back. After the trip to Jeju, deliberation for the tracklist will be done so you still have time to shoot for this drama. Besides the site will be in Seoul most of the time so it's easier for you to attend meetings and recordings anytime."

         "Sowon-a, do you have schedules booked next week?" He suddenly asked Sowon.

          "I have a photoshoot this weekend Sassangnim but after that, so far I'm free til next week. Manager eonnie and I discussed to wait for today's meeting before deciding for my next week's schedule. Why Sasangnim?"

        "Well, you two needs to simulate and do some rehearsals. Some would even undergo workshops right. If you haven't booked anything yet, why don't you come with us in Jeju for you to accompany Junghwan during breaks and maybe rehearse together especially your couple scenes. Don't worry you stay with my family in our villa since there's plenty of rooms available. And you're familiar with the other Treasure members too and our staff so i guess u can just bring your manager with u." He suggested.

         That caught me by surprise.  I know we have a tight schedule for filming since I joined later, I understand too the need to simulate with Sowon but still it caught me off guard his idea of bringing Sowon to Jeju with my 11 brothers there, I don't know how I will survive the week with them pestering me and teasing me nonstop.

JEJU:

         Sassangnim had an emergency meeting in Seoul delaying his appearance in Jeju with us for 2 days. He asked me to fetch Sowon and her Manager at the airport as their flight was a day after than us. Which means he gave me the task to introduce and explain to the group why she's joining the group in the resort.

       "Oppa, thanks for fetching us. I hope we didn't bother you." We are now in the van driving towards the resort.

       "Anni, it's nothing. Besides the group is still enjoying free time since Sassangnim will arrive tomorrow because of some emergency. You have the whole villa alone tonight" i teased her.

      "Yah oppa, are you scaring us? Eonnie ottoke?" I looked at her looking really worried.

      "Why did u tease her, u now have to take responsibility. She easily gets scared." Noona fake scolding me.

        I felt guilty after teasing her. Is she really that scaredy cat? We may not be that close but we were friends I guess given our past interactions plus we will be closer now especially given our roles in the drama.

       "Hey, bianhe Sowona, oppa just teasing you. Just trying to lighten up the mood a little. Its been quite a while that we saw each other too."

       I apologized since my main intention really was to break the awkwardness since its true that its been months since we last saw each other and we're not really that "friends" that usually keep in touch thru texts or calls on regular basis.

       "Ok to ease your worries, I'll accompany you for tonight. I can stay at the other room since Sassangnim's family is staying on the second floor. I'll ask manager hyung. We can run through the script too while we're at it."

        "Joah! That's better. We can rehearse on the living room. I can help you run the script since it's your first time reading it."  She exclaimed.

          As we arrived at the resort, I brought them directly to the main villa to settle their things first. Then I offered to tour them around the other villas to introduce to the members and staff.
