Lost My Way | K.T

|| Deul

Being deaf didn't let herself hinder to what she can do. Ria have successfully graduated and discovered that she has great skills in writing; particularly in film scripts or making novels. She found an opportunity in South Korea to be a scriptwriter. Of course, Ria learned the Korean language and Hangul first before she go. While inside the airplane on her way to South Korea, she reminisced the time when she was a teen who'd always want to go there just to see BTS. Ria couldn't believe herself that she actually fulfilled her wish, however this time, with different purpose and that is for her new career.

When she checked an apartment which will be her temporary settlement, Ria went to the 3rd floor and searched for her room. After putting down and arranging her belongings, she decided to take a stroll outside before she check an email coming from the producer of a certain film who hired her. It was still morning of winter season as she wore a red sweater and jeans with black beanie cap on her head. She went to a known park in Seoul and gazed at the wondrous sightings. While admiring her surroundings and taking a seat on a bench, a white small dog suddenly neared her, making a whining noise. Ria's eyes soften and thought the dog probably lost his owner so she decided to pick him up and pet him.

Oblivious to her, a certain someone was trying to look for his dog as he called his name. It didn't take too long until he found his dog with a girl petting him.

"There you are!" He exclaimed happily in his deep voice.

To her perspective, she noticed on her peripheral vision that a tall figure was approaching her. Ria looked up and to her surprise, she recognized the face of her once bias from BTS. She couldn't believe, Kim Taehyung, in a flesh is right in front of her. Too stunned not taking her eyes away from him, Ria subconsciously returned the dog to his gentle arms. She saw his rectangular smile that she did missed as he pet his dog, pleased to have him back.

"Um thank you miss...?" He trailed hinting he wants to know her name.

She obviously didn't hear him, yet, it seems her heart heard his voice instead causing it to pound hard. She also felt the blood rushes on her cheeks. Ria didn't know what to do so she immediately stood up and ran away from him.

"Miss wait!" Taehyung reach out his hand to her but the girl was already gone out of his sight. He was befuddled at her sudden behavior. Though, she looked foreign at all so he concluded she was culture-shocked and scampered away.

Not too long, she finally came back to her apartment worn out and heaved a sigh. The reason why she ditched him is because one, she can't respond to him and ashamed of her inability to hear. Second, it was an unexpected turn to meet him out of all places and she moved on stanning him, yet, like an ex-boyfriend who would come back again to haunt her feelings.

"I can't believe it's him. He's still handsome as eve-wait! This is no time for admiring I must open my laptop now." Ria thought and shook her head. She opened her laptop and headed to her email account. There, she saw an email was sent to her from the producer. Inside, the synopsis of the film was indicated including the pictures of venues where the actors will shoot and also the deadline she must give the script to him. The script must be finished within two weeks.

When Ria finished the script and printed it out, she headed to the studio to meet the producer. She looked around for him unable to find him. Few seconds later, Ria felt someone tap her shoulder so she turned around meeting a middle-aged man with glasses and wore a warm smile. She slightly bowed at him and gave the script to the producer as he gladly accepts it. He gestured her to take a seat and even placed a cup of coffee on the long table in front of her. He wrote something on a paper and gave it to her then he left the area. It is said that she must wait for a few moments to inform the director of the film about the script and get his approval respectively.

Ria took a sip to the coffee and stretched her arms, not knowing that someone with fame have just arrived in the studio. The producer called him for another upcoming film to shoot. Despite his busy schedule of his dance practice and other activities pertaining to his band called BTS, Taehyung still accepted the offer to star at a film.

He searched for the producer until his eyes landed to a girl seating across from him. Taehyung narrowed his eyes and thought she looked very familiar. His mind then clicked and remembered the girl who found his dog and suddenly left him without telling her name.

"It's you!" He yelled and was about to approach her when the producer of the film called his name. He halted and thought he would deal with the girl later.

"What is it Mr. Sung?" He asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"Here's the script for your role. Memorize and master it within a month and then we'll begin to shoot." He said in authoritative tone and gave him the script. Taehyung nodded in comply as he scanned the script paper. Just then, he recalled the mysterious girl who he also find it strange as to why she's here inside the studio.

"Mr. Sung, do you know who that girl is?" He pointed the girl, eagerly to know her name. The producer glanced across to the girl peacefully taking a sip.

"That's Ria, our new scriptwriter and has a condition." He said with a sympathetic look on his face. Taehyung widen his eyes in surprise and slightly gaped at his statement.

"Condition? " He pried more in hope to explain why she acted odd before while the middle-aged man displayed a bemusing expression to his actor taking an interest to her. Nevertheless, he answered him in the end.

"She's deaf." As he spoke the word 'deaf', Taehyung felt bad for judging her and admittedly had his impression of her being rude. Now he wants to pay her a sorry or even much better.
