chapter 9

one second it was perfect,
now you're halfway out the door

"Can I come to your shoot?" I almost choked on my lunch when Soobin asked me.

He finally had time for me after weeks of isolating himself in his office.

And as for me, the documentary is so far a success. Beomgyu is famous after all, he is the marketing strategy, and all I have to do is do my best in the field of journalism.

"It's a long drive to Busan, babe," I told him. We're in episode 3 of the documentary, and we have to go to Busan because Beomgyu chose to go for a vacation in the beach. It's February, and it is Winter, but he wanted that, so we'll have to freeze in the cold if we have to because of him.

"And I have to stay there for a week," I told him. It's a week-long vacation.

"Then I'll go with you. I'll just bring my work." I smiled at him. He's finally making up for his absence.

I informed Yeonjun about this, and he said it was no problem at all. I got excited and packed my bags for the week.

Soobin picked me up from my home, and we drove to the Beomgyu's company building. As always, the guards inspected the both of us like we're a threat, but we got in anyways after 30 minutes of being interrogated.

"This place is huge," Soobin says. "It is."

We both stayed in the lobby, and waited for the staff who will come to Busan with us. Before the whole team appeared, Beomgyu and Yeonjun arrived from elevator, and walked over to us.

Yeonjun greeted Soobin as if he is his closest friends. "What's up? I'm Yeonjun. You must be Ryujin's fiancée."

He shaked Soobin's hands, and I can see how Soobin became shy because of it, but he masked his embarrassment. He's used to masking his emotions because of his profession. While the two talked, I look over to Beomgyu.

He has his shades over his head, and his gaze was on me, and it turned to Soobin. He slid his hands in his pockets, and tilts his head to look at me.

"I didn't know guests were allowed in the set," Beomgyu said almost coldly.

"He's my fiancée, and Yeonjun said it was fine," I replied.

"Alright," Beomgyu shrugs his shoulders. I walk over to Soobin and took his arm. He's still talking to Yeonjun.

Beomgyu scoffs, and puts on his shades. His actions are so unreasonable.

The staff members arrived soon after, and we went to the parking lot of the company.

"Soobin and Ryujin you're in the same bus with us," Yeonjun says.

I nodded, and we set our bags in the bus. We got in the vehicle, and Soobin and I sat beside each other. Beomgyu sees this, and looks away immediately. Why do I keep on noticing his gazes?

"Are you cold?" Soobin asks, offering me a blanket. I shook my head, and he claims the blanket for himself.

I had enough jackets for me, so it's fine. Not long after that, we finally left the building. It was a long drive, so I only reviewed my script. In two hours, Beomgyu and I agreed to review the script together, so that the flow would be smooth, and the staff members wouldn't have a hard time reshooting everything like what happened the first time.
