"This is ridiculous." i murmured, shuffling through the stack of papers sitting in my hands. "i'm a trainee, not an employee. why am i getting treated like one?!?!" i groaned. "i should be on stage, or on set, anything but this. i'm not a slave i'm not a slave i'm not a slave—"

i stopped in my tracks, squinting at the ruckus being caused outside. there was screaming–screams of young adolescent teenage girls, most likely. that was what was mostly heard outside of fantagio entertainment anyways.

i quickly scrambled to the side so i wasn't blocking in the middle of nowhere, and watched as the front door opened.

the screams immediately got louder, and i winced.

"EUNWOO-OPPA!!!!! OPPA I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!"

"geez...they're crazy." i muttered. "eunwoo oppa?"

....

"ohhhh that oppa." i watched as the 6-foot dude step in, wearing a thick and long coat and a black mask to cover his face. his staff and managers surrounded him like a herd of ants protecting their queen.

cha eunwoo. former member of astro. the reason why he left? nobody knows to this day. netizens claim that he wanted to pursue in acting fully, which is the only reason he auditioned in the first place. others say he was kicked out.

but anyways, i have respect for the dude. he's dreamily handsome, and an actor that is widely known for starring in many new movies and shows.

i gulped and hid behind a tall plant, not wanting to be caught looking like a lowly squid in the eyes of cha eunwoo.

"i hate these fans. do they think screaming at me and clinging onto me will make me love them? insane."

i squinted at the voice that came from the actor. "what??" i muttered.

eunwoo scoffed again. "if i end up quitting my career one day, it'll be their fault."

my eyes widened. how can one be so ungrateful? bItCH if you don't want your fans I WILL GLADLY TAKE THEM—

"aigoo eunwoo you don't really mean that." a middle-aged man next to him said.

"i do. you wouldn't know, changmin." eunwoo asked.

my jaw dropped. "such disrespect!! a classy idol should always respect their elders and hyungs–" i whispered to myself.

"never mind. i have no respect for him anymore." i whispered to myself. "those fans made your career, you little bitch."

i rolled my eyes, walking away.

"yah eunbi you little turd—" lee dongwook grabbed my head and ruffled my hair.

"oh. hi uncle." i muttered in disinterest.

lee dongwook. a famous actor widely known for his roles in goblin, hotel king, my girl, etc. but to me? my uncle.

but not my biological uncle. that dude is somewhere far away that i do not know of. lee dongwook is the closest person to a father-figure i have.

when i moved to starship entertainment nine months ago, dongwook was the one who taught me the most. that's why i call him my uncle.

"wow you could at least show me some interest. if suzy and i ever had a daughter, i hope she doesn't turn out like you." he tsked jokingly.

"gee thanks. i wouldn't either." i said and rolled my eyes.

"anyways, eunbi-ah."

"what??"

"you should date ong seongwoo."

my jaw dropped and i turned around, whacking my uncle with the book i was reading. i was blushing, and i didn't know why. ong seongwoo was handsome obviously, but we barely talked so i wouldn't even consider him a friend. "are you okay??"

"no because you just hit me." he said. "you're so disrespectful. who raised you this way—wait never mind."

"yeah. no one." i said. "anyways, why would i date ong seongwoo when i've barely talked to him??"

dongwook just shrugged. "for funsies. teenagers like to date around these days, you know? except for you, you just sit around and work all day."

"i work because i have goals. i don't need a boyfriend."

"well if you end up having a boyfriend, he has to be perfect, got it? men are dangerous."

"totally." i said and rolled my eyes. "anyways, i was called earlier to see some director guy. nows my chance." i whispered giddily, getting up and packing my stuff.

"tsk. that kid only cares about working, doesn't she?"
