Special Package

A Glimpse of the Future

[Haein's POV]

After ending the call, Haein shut his eyes and gave himself a good smacking on the head. "Stupid. Just pure stupidity. Why would you bring up your own trauma like that, Jung Haein?? Of course it's not Bohyun. Come on now. You and Jisoo went to his engagement party a month ago!" To anyone passing by, Haein looked like a complete psycho just standing there doing his own monologue.

"Hey, Haein! What are you doing over there?" His manager ran up to him. "The crew's already heading out for dinner. I heard it's an old well known steakhouse celebrities frequented since the Golden Age of cinema. I don't know about you, but I wanna try it and I'm starving!"

"Huh?? Oh, right, sorry about that. Let's go?"

"You okay? You looked like you were doing a self performance of Macbeth or something. I know we're in London but no need to get too into the culture." Jaeyoung jokes.

"What are you talking about? I was just on the phone with Jisoo. Of course, I entirely spaced on the time difference and woke her up. Man, I should have just asked her to come with me to London."

"Listen lover boy, need I remind you that you were the one who wanted her to stay in Seoul? FNC said it would be fine if you wanted to take her, but you said you wanted her to enjoy her time off at home instead."

Haein's eyes rolled at Jaeyoung's words. "I know what I said, and I still stand by it. I'm just ranting to you, okay? She just finished filming her latest drama. She's always been a homebody if she wasn't working."

"Yeah, I know. You two are peas in a pod. You always hid away for days on end after finishing up your projects unless you had promotions or golf. Practically a match made in heaven if you ask me."

Haein smiled at that. He loved nothing more than to do nothing, and what more do nothing with the love of his life.

"I'll take that as a compliment. Anyways, I'm starving! Let's go or else they might be done and gone by the time we get there." Haein was sprinting for their van with Jaeyoung following behind.

There he was taking photos of all the food. Sneaking in some selfies here and there for his bunny. They arrived at the restaurant within 30 minutes. Jaeyoung wasn't gonna miss out on a paid deluxe dinner. The whole restaurant was rented out for the team. Haein was seated between other cast and crew members, who were chatting amongst one another.

"Haein, the steak and lobster is gonna go cold. Stop with the pictures and eat already!" David nudged him.

His good friend and label mate, David, had also been casted in this film with him. FNC was ecstatic about two of its artists being part of an international project. Haein himself was more than glad to have a familiar face on set with him, especially since David also helped him plenty with his English lines.

"Huh? Don't worry about me. I'm eating, hyung! I just wanted to snap some pics to send to Jisoo later. Besides, she'd kill me if I didn't make sure to eat." The thought of her pouting face made Haein chuckle.

"How are you two by the way? I haven't been able to catch up with you guys since Jung-song was born."

This was David's first project since the birth of his son, Jung-song. Ever since he saw his child, he wanted nothing more than to become someone even greater for him. It was nerve wracking, but Haein encouraged him to audition with him for this film. After getting a call back, he cried for hours. Finally, a chance at a role that was part of the main cast. Not just some small background character.
