Hashtag Mr. Celebrity

#Chapter6

If I were to be granted one wish right now, I wouldn't ask for a luxury car, a house and lot, or a super duper yummy boyfriend. Not even world peace. I would just want the ground to open and swallow me deep down under. But the heavens have a different plan for me. Kneeling on my left is Jaden whose eyes are fixed on me, probably thinking I have lost it. On my right is a whining guy. I can't understand what he's saying, but it's pretty easy to tell from his rambling that he's in pain because of me.

"Mwohaneungoya?!" A man in his forties speaks to me, whose voice sounds like he's scolding me. The fact that I ruin they're shooting gives him the absolute right to get mad at me. Jaden speaks to him in his language. I get up and ignore the pain on my knee. I don't know what to say to him.

I approach the whining guy.  "I'm sorry." I hope I look remorseful enough. I stop myself from asking if he's okay cause he definitely doesn't look like one. He's still wincing when he looks at me. "I'm sorry." I apologize again and bow my head repetitively. Someone nudges me from behind. Here goes the confrontation.

"What happened?" Jaden asks me. He's dressed in white shirt, but his pants are the traditional ones. Maybe he's currently on break.

"I thought someone's being killed here."

"And you decided to play hero?"

"I just wanted to help." His facial expression changes from being a poker to a very serious look. The same one I saw at the hotel when I almost got mobbed by the reporters.

"You're in luck because it's just a show. If this was real what you did was so stupid."

Okay, that doesn't sound good to me.

My mouth forms an O and I stop my eyes from blinking a lot. I don't want to get offended by his words because he has a point there. But does he have to be so blunt? As much as I want to fight back, he's not just a celebrity. He's part of our company. Technically, he's like my boss. And he's already talking to the guy in pain. So he leaves me hanging without even having a chance to explain?

It's been five minutes already, but they're still engaged in a conversation. Maybe they're planning for a revenge? Or Jaden's suggesting something like Let's kill this girl now. Finally, I see him pat the man's shoulder which I hope a sign of wrapping up their conversation.

"How did you get in anyway?" Jaden turns to me. Back to his poker face.

"I thought you guys were finished. People outside are having a field day because the casts already went out. That's what the security thought as well so they left their post and I'm here."

"Wait a minute." He says and walks to the man who scolded me.

Seriously? Cutting me for the second time? I exhale a little sharply than my liking.

He's your boss. He's your boss. A celebrity boss. A handsome boss. A hot boss.

The man he's talking with is on the phone. Unlike with his previous conversation, this one ends more quickly. "We had to call the security so people won't come here like what you did." He continues.

My blood boils for a minute. "I'm not an intruder and there isn't any sign outside saying that there's a shooting going on here." I explain as calmly as possible, fighting hard not to glare at him.

He effing chuckles at me. "I know." He pinches my cheeks. "Why does it make happy to see you all riled up?"

I inwardly groan. He's doing it on purpose. "So much for disturbing everyone here in set. I'd better go. For the last time, I'm sorry."

"Where are you going?" He stops me from leaving.

"I'm on tourist mode."

"That still doesn't answer my question. Are you with someone? I told you not to roam around alone." He's all serious again. One minute he's playful, then the next minute he's being a prick.

"I'm with my friend, the one you met last time. We happen to be apart due to different interests, but we'll meet later."

"Let me go with you. I'm done here." He drags me to him.

What's with all the dragging here in Korean Folk Village? First, it's Cathy. Now it's Jaden.

He leaves me in one corner after saying that he'll change first. I take this chance to apologize again to the set. The man who scolded me earlier happens to be the director. I don't think he has accepted my apology wholeheartedly but he manages to give me a small smile before I leave. Jaden has come back in dark jeans and a new set of shirt. This time, it's printed. He's wearing a cap and sunglasses too. Here goes our matching outfit again.

"Are you done here?" He asks me.

"After all the ruckus I caused here, yes."

"What's next in your itinerary?"

"Everland!"

"And you're excited because?"

Such a party pooper. "Should I be not?"

He nods and smirks. If there's a face that launches a thousand ships, his face launches a thousand smirks. "I'm joining you." He sounds imperative.

I frown a little. "Are you sure? There might be a lot of people there." It's Tuesday, today but I am not really sure if there's less people on a day like thus.

"Yes. I am always seen by people so it's nothing new." I'm trying to analyze if he's being boastful or what, but it's not. He's just stating a fact.

"O-okay."

"You sound like you don't want me to come."

"That's not what I mean though... so let's go?" We head outside. I call Cathy on the way to Jaden's car.

Vocab:

1.) Mwohaneungoya? - What are you doing?
- It can be "What do you think you're doing?" depending on how it's said, like in a very angry way. In this chapter, it's the second one.

I know the update's very late, not to mention super short. It's more of like a filler. Sorry ✌🏼. I promised to update every week, but busy's not enough to describe my schedule these past few weeks. If you've noticed, I changed the tense of the verb in this chapter. I'm still not sure of which is better. Present tense is sometimes better, but I am really used to using the past tense. Please do help me. Once it's finalized, I'm going to get back at those affected chapters and modify them for consistency.

As a teaser for the next chapter, tell me what your favorite amusement park ride is. 🎡🎢
