. 'bbzzzz' 'bzzzzz' i woke by a phone vibrating as i tried to find the phone eyes still closed 'here you are' i thought to my self as i successfully have the phone in my hand.
"what is it?" i asked my voice still hoarse from all the moaning i make last night.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN????!!!, TODAY IS THE SCRIPT READING FOR YOUR UPCOMING MOVIE, OHMYGAWDD DON'T TELLME YOU FORGOT?? CHOI JIYOO YOU!, YOU BETTER GET READY, I'LL WAIT FOR YOU OUTSIDE THE COMPPANY BE HERE IN TWENTY!! " kk who is clearly angry said as she hang-up
I can't help but panick but--i don't have the energy for that—all i can feel is my lower abdomen and back hurts like it's breaking me in half, and my legs- it feels jelly and it's about to give up in any moment......
I sit up as i stretch my back and stand up to go out from his room . As I groggily stumbled into the kitchen, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee welcomed me, persuading me into wakefulness.
With a yawn and a stretch, i set about my morning routine. The rhythmic sound of my footsteps echoed through the house as i moved from room to room. The morning ritual unfolded - a quick shower, the selection of a professional yet comfortable outfit, and a dash of makeup to add a touch of confidence to my reflection. Just as i was about to set out from jaekhyung's penthouse I heard a voice.
"Hey Need a ride to work? I'm headed that way.". It was from jaekhyung, A confused look crept across my face. jaekhyung had become a reliable companion since we make a deal. Grateful for the offer, i quickly replied back, "Sure, if u insist."
As i grabbed my bag and headed to the front door, the sun had fully risen, bathing the world in warm morning light.

___ As we both approached my office building,i couldn't help but feel grateful for the unexpected- kindness of jaekhyung.
"Thanks for the ride, mr.joo." i said, unbuckling my seatbelt genuinely appreciative.
"yeah- sure" Jake replied picking his ear wiith his pinky finger, waving as i stepped out of the car.
out of the sleek black car that had just pulled over. i caught sight of my manager, kk, standing on the sidewalk, tapping her foot impatiently. kk's arms were crossed, and a scowl adorned her face, with a face of frustration.
"Finally!" kk exclaimed, her irritated remark said.
"I've been waiting for ages. did you two fuck before going here!" I couldn't reply to her as she dragged me inside the building.|
: : : : : : : as the cast and crew gathered for the script reading. i, an aspiring actress with dreams as vast as the night sky, took my seat among my fellow performers. The script was for a compelling drama that promised to be the breakthrough project I had been yearning for.
However, i couldn't shake the relentless fatigue that clung to me like a heavy cloak. The past few days had been an exhausting whirlwind of auditions, rehearsals, and late-night memorization and sessions with jaekhyung. my energy reserves were reducing, and the relentless demands of the industry were taking their toll.
As the director called the room for attention, i took my seat, script in hand, ready to delve into the world of the characters i was about to bring to life. as Excitement filled in the air, but little did i know that this script reading would be more challenging than any role i had encountered.
Kim Yoona, a fellow actress, had a reputation for being both skilled and difficult. Today, however, she seemed to have set her sights on making me experience unbearable. With each line i read, Yoona shot snobbish glances, rolled her eyes, and occasionally scoffed audibly.
Determined not to let yoona's antics derail my focus, i pressed on, immersing myself in the emotional depth of my character. But as the reading progressed, Yoona's interruptions became more obvious. She would purposefully mispronounce her lines, casting sly smirks in my direction.
Despite the rising tension, i maintained my composure, determined to rise above the theatrics. The director, however, began to notice the disturbance in the room. During a break, he called both me and yoona aside.
"Is everything okay?" the director inquired, concern shown on his face. i hesitated but decided to speak up.
"I'm trying my best, but yoona seems to be intentionally trying to throw me off. I don't know why." yoona feigned innocence, offering a rehearsed smile.
"I have no idea what she's talking about, Director. I'm just here to give my best performance."
The director is experienced and have encounter fight between actors before, so he decided to address the issue head-on. "We're all here to give our best. Let's focus on the work and create a collaborative environment. There's no room for distractions."
The script reading resumed, but the tension lingered. i pushed through, determined not to let yoona's actions define my experience. As the characters unfolded, the weight of the narrative took center stage, temporarily overshadowing the disruptive acting.

When the script reading concluded, the director commended the cast for their efforts. Despite the challenges,i had delivered a compelling performance, showcasing my resilience and professionalism.
