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

JUNGHWAN

The 2nd night in Jeju, Sowon stayed in Villa 1 alone with her manager. As promised, I asked Jihoon hyung to stay with me for that night at the main villa accompanying Sowon.

The next day went smoothly. We did went through our script together, checking the nature of the scenes, the kind of set we will have and the flow of the story for us to conceptually prepare the kind of emotions needed per scene.

Sowon was a great help for real. She carefully elaborate every details that needed emphasis in each scene. Also we started a few actions, not to heavy, but might needed specific gestures which could convey better our emotions. Like for example, even the tiniest act of holding hands, how our fingers should be placed and such.

After careful deliberation the next day, we asked a few minutes with Sassangnim to voice some suggestions and also way of asking permission.

      "Sassangnim, we already run through our scenes and I already familiarize the flow of the story." I began.

"Good! Now you can start simulating. I actually have something as a suggestion, its not necessary for you to agree but for me, the best way to simulate is to try dating for real. Well, that depends on how u feel about each other, but at least it's a test to check if you have great chemistry. That's the key point in a couple role."

"Actually we had the same plan too thats what we were supposed to to ask permission from u, to go with the flow."

I laid it down what Sowon and I talked about since yesterday. We agreed to try dating. No pressure whatsoever, just go with the flow. Especially now and until the end of filming and probably promotions. What lies ahead after this project is still unknown and we also agreed to face it when the time comes.

Honestly, I didn't give much thought if we date or not, especially the fact that it stuck in my mind that it's part of the job. I have nothing against dating Sowon especially we hit it off perfectly, apart from our past interactions, she's beautiful, talented and easy to get along with. Plus it's a great feeling to have someone calling me oppa. Sowon is sweet naturally and she also have a naughty dorky side which really makes me laught sometimes.

If you ask me if I like her, yes, I guess I do, but is it love? That I can't say I am. Maybe it's too early? Does she turn me on? I'm a young warm blooded man with needs, but its still yet to be seen since we haven't really had the chance to explore that side, so updates will come later.

Most of my hyungs are pairing up now, and I think I'm the only unattached, oh there's also Mashi and Yoshi hyung I forgot. Yedam seems to have someone outside the industry so why not try myself too? Right?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~@~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The week in Jeju was productive, both in terms with Treasure reunion and comback preparations and Sowon and I's simulation. We plan to let the members know our relationship later, but not the details of the reason which is the simulation part. We really intend to try it as a normal dating experience. So far it went smoothly.

On the other hand, I noticed something different from Doyoung hyung. I know we haven't been that close anymore since he got together with Jeongwoo hyung, but I thought we would be catching up since we reassigned to stay in the same dorm this comeback.

Though we furnished our dorm smoothly and fast, I was expecting the 3 of us to hangout more often now that we live together.

But recently I've noticed that when Woo hyung was home, apart from sleeping and resting time, we hangout together. But when there is only Doyoung and I were home, he kept himself busy inside his room.

I shouldn't have given it another thought, but one time I caught him hurriedly finish his food and run to his room thinking I was about to go out from my room not knowing I came from the storage room about to enter mine.

Imagine his face when we bumped each other in the hallway since our rooms are in front of each other.

I asked him what's his deal, but he only made excuses as he is busy and tired. Honestly I'm a little offended. I don't know what I did that might be the cause or if I did something to make him mad.

I didnt actually remember when it started. Was it in Jeju? No, we were still talking and laughing when we arrived there.
When we transferred back to the dorm, I didn't see anything or some possible reasons for the avoidance.

"I'm home!" I was cut off from my mental debate when Jeongwoo hyung entered the dorm. Doyoung was long gone infront of me and now hiding inside his room.

"Oh, hyung, how's your meeting?" Jeongwoo is set to audition for broadway in New York next year. And hopefully, after our comeback activities, if he will be casted, he is set to pursue his dreams.

"I discussed with Sassangnim my individual contract especially, if God permits, I'll be casted next year, I wont be renewing after our comeback activities. And since I'll be full time in the US so I need another agency to handle my career there."

"So what did Sassangnim say?" I walked to the couch to continue our conversation.

"Well, it was a pity letting me go, but he understood and gave his full support. You know how he is. He never hold anyone back from leaving and even suggested some agencies he knew in New York. Though he offered to contact our sister company in the US too. But he said, the choice is mine so he will respect it."

I just nod and silently contemplating on his words. There are some things I'm curious about but I don't think I'm in the position to ask. Well, I'll save it when it's happening. He's still practicing and training for audition still, not that he's leaving tomorrow asap. Why worry for something uncertain.

"Hey, let's not jinx it. It's still far in the future. Anyways where's my dobunny?" Jeongwoo hyung then stood up to look for doyoung.

Cringe! Dobbunny? Bwhahaha I will tease that rabbit later when I get the chance.
