Being famous isn't as good as you think it would be.

Being the world's most prettiest face dosent help either.

It was a regular bright Monday morning in Korea. I had just woken up from my sleep, and I was sitting at my dining table, about to eat breakfast made by my private chef. Sitting beside me was my 60 year old wheelchair bound father.

As we waited for my chef to serve our meal, my dad decided to ask about my schedule for the week.

"It's busy. We're finishing up the movie this Sunday" I said.

"Oh yeah? Remind me what this story is about?" My dad asked. He sometimes forgets stuff, old age hit him like a truck.

"The male lead is a hit man who covers himself behind a mask. While the love interest, me, is trying to get closer to this mysterious person. As he saved her life more than once" I explained

"Ah. I see! What happened in the end?"

I clicked my tongue
"No spoilers!" we shared a little chuckle. Food came in after, and together, along with the chef. We ate and had a nice breakfast.

Towards the middle of the morning, I had to stop by the grocery store before heading to work. My chef needed some ingredients, and although I had maids and butlers, I felt like simply going to the grocery store would help calm down my busy life.

But like I said, it's not easy being really famous

I tried covering myself by wearing a mask and a hat. But people still recognize me and try to take photos. It's annoying really, can they see I'm trying to grab some ingredients? They act like celebrities are people who you could just toss around because they know we have to be respectful. And If we be rude, the media would think we're horrible people, which would effect our reputation drastically.

This is why I don't really like being famous.

And people still dream about being celebrities.

I managed to escape the store without anyone tailing or following me. I parked at an empty spot and just sat to catch my breath.

"Man, what a life" I muttered. I stared at my bracelet. It had a heart shaped diamond in the middle tied to a purple string.

My best friend gave this to me 3 years ago, when I was 17. Her name is Minatozaki Sana.

Sana pulled me out of a dark time in my life. When I was in high school, I was getting scouted by many agencies. Many wanting to do contracts with me.

Because of this, I was cocky. I thought I was superior than everyone else. Which lead to a toxic relationship with a boy named Mingyu, then that lead to me becoming a Bully.

Yeah. I'm not lying

A bully.

And a I regret very thing I've done to the people.

Especially to a kid named Kim Y/n.

Y/n was a kid I bullied in my freshman and sophomore year. I hated his ugly face, his slouched back, his baggy eyes.

Back then, I didn't think an ugly person like that deserved to be in the same school as someone as perfect as me. So along with my boyfriend Mingyu, we tortured him. Punched him, embarrassed him, did a lot of things.

Until one day, he disappeared. Which made me angry, but soon after, my mom passed away.

That was a life changing moment for me.

When my mom died, it changed my habits. I grew depressed, I stopped bullying, which then led me to getting abused by Mingyu. I was feeling horrible, and I deserved it, since feeling horrible  was probably an understatement to what Y/n was feeling everyday.

My dad hated seeing me so sad, so he sent me to a therapy group. Which was where I met Sana. She brought me out of depression, and helped get me to my famous stage that I am in today.

Woah. I've been going through memory lane alot haven't I?

I returned home and put the groceries in the fridge. Then proceeded to my shoot.

We need to act could vary to many places. A studio, a farm, or in the middle of nowhere inside of a forest. Today, I so happen to be shooting at a beach.

The beach was rented out, meaning no one was there except the camera crew. The cameras were set up, the lights were on, and all the staff and actors began to get in position.

After I changed into my bathing suit, my director called out to me.
"Tzuyu, I need you to be perfect here." He placed his hand on my bare shoulder. "Emotions, arm movements, you know the drill"

Apparently, I had to drown, then joonho, the male character, would save me.

"Ok sir" I said, then adjusted my bathing suit a little and fixed my hair. I got into position and then waited for the cue to start.

"Action!"
