"Rai, just listen-" Heeseung stops when the girl whirls to face him, her wet hair spraying water at him.
"No, I will not listen to you anymore. I've listened to you enough, Lee Heeseung." Rai shouts over the loud...

Rai frowns as she blinks her eyes open, feeling disoriented as she looks around her room for the sound that had woken her up. She finally finds her phone, snatching it off of her bedside table. She lets out an annoyed groan as she struggles to read the name on the screen through her tired eyes, her vision blurring too much. The girl assumes that it's her manager, probably calling to annoy her about something.
"I've told you not to call me before noon on my days off, haven't I?" Rai grumbles, draping her free arm across her eyes. She doesn't recognize the chuckle that she hears, the girl pausing.
"I was never told such a rule." Says Ong Dae-ho, Rai sitting up in her bed.
"It's not a rule for you, why are you calling me?" She asks, stopping herself from asking how he had even gotten her phone number.
"I was just casted for a show and I told them that I thought you would fit really well with the concept, plus I wanted an excuse to see you." The boy says, Rai feeling her face flush at his words.
She had always been friendly with Dae-ho, enjoying their talks when they met at events or when they worked together. It didn't help that he was handsome, especially when he laughed at something that Rai said.
"An excuse to see me?" Rai repeats, cursing herself for sounding like a dumb parrot. Dae-ho chuckles in response, bringing a fresh blush to the girl's face.
"Yes, an excuse to see you. You can read over the script while we have coffee and see if you want to do it, maybe I can pick you up?" He asks, Rai picking up on the hopeful tone in his voice. She grins, standing from her bed.
"That sounds lovely, I'll just call my manager." She says, walking to her closet to pick out what she was going to wear.
"Ah, you don't need to do that. I actually already talked to him, that's how I got your number." Dae-ho explains, almost sounding embarrassed. Rai freezes, surprised that he had gone through so many steps.
"Did you tell him about this show?" She asks, running her hand over a couple of her sweaters.
"I did, he said that if you want to do it then he'll set up the audition. Although, if I'm being honest, I don't think you'll need to audition." Dae-ho says with another chuckle, Rai grinning at the tone of his voice.
