Y/n: Han Byul I was so confused I didn't know how to react.
Han Byul: y/n, its okay, you did a great job.
Y/n: Do you know where he is right now?
Han Byul: I am pretty sure he is getting ready to leave.
Y/n: should I go see him and apologise? I think it was rude of me to just sit there giving half-hearted answers. To be honest I was so confused that I couldn't think of anything at that moment.
Han Byul: Y/n its okay if you want to meet him, you don't have to make excuses in front of me. Let me talk to his manager and see if you guys can have a chat.
Y/n: Thank you so much Han Byul I don't know what I would do without you.
*Five minutes later*
Han Byul: Y/n, his manager says he has another schedule so you will have to keep it short. Let's go.
Y/n: yes, just five minutes is enough.
*Outside the dressing room*
Han Byul introduced me to his manager, Ryu Ji Ho. He is pretty good looking, and he seems a little cold, not rude, just cold. He told me Tae goo is waiting inside and gestured me to go in.
*Inside the dressing room*
There he is sitting in his chair. As soon as I entered, he immediately stood up and greeted me. The room is filled with the awkward atmosphere. He seems just as nervous as me, or maybe its just in my head. He seems quiet-spoken and gentle, unlike the roles he has played, completely different in real life
Tae Goo: So, you wanted to see me?
Y/n: yes, umm, I wanted to apologise for my behaviour back there. This is my first time on a variety show, I was nervous.
Tae Goo: I understand. I've been doing this for a while and even I am not used to it.
Y/n: If it's okay with you can I buy you a meal as an apology?
Tae Goo: Y-yes? Oh, yes, definitely I would love that. I'll have to ask my manager for my schedule and then we can fix a date.
Y/n: Sure, I'll ask my manager to get in touch and confirm the date.
The fact that he mentioned his manager made it feel like a business dinner. I wanted it to be casual, like a friendly dinner, but I guess he drew boundaries. I wanted to be his friend but maybe I was being too delusive.
I thought it was over for me until,
Tae Goo: Can I perhaps, have your number? Not your manager, yours, personal.
At first, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Is he asking for my personal number? Am I hallucinating right now? I had to ask.
Y/n: W-what?
Tae Goo: Can I have your number? It's totally okay if you don't want to give it to me.
Y/n: Y-yes, of course!
He handed me his phone and I put in my number and handed it back to him.
Tae Goo: Thank you, I'll text you.
Y/n: Yeah, sure I'll wait for your text.
Tae Goo: W-what?
Oh no, another day of me not saying things in my head but saying them out loud. I was about to lose myself when someone knocked on the door. Ryu Ji Ho entered the room and informed Tae Goo of his next schedule and that he has to leave.
Tae Goo: Y/n, I'll see you at the dinner.
Y/n: Sure, See you.
Tae Goo: See you!
And he left.
