SEO EUNBI

"ACTION!"

"oh my god oh my god oh my god—" kim minjae ran to me, sliding on his knees and bowing at my feet. "k-kim hyejin–YAH HYUNJIN YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU WERE LIVING WITH MY FUTURE WIFE!!!!"

i acted surprised. "h-hey, don't tell anyone." i whispered. "it's supposed to be a secret, alright?" i put my index finger in front of my lips and winked.

minjae gasped and grabbed his heart. "i'm your biggest fan."

i looked at eunwoo. "you could learn a few things from this dude. i like him already." i said.

"ahHhhh! kim hyejin just said she liked me!!!" minjae hollered, running off.

"i'd rather not kiss the ass of idols who probably only are nice to their fans to get money. that's how it works." eunwoo murmured.

"i do love my fans. they made my career, after all." i said, sending eunwoo a low key message that he should really take in, in real life.

eunwoo scoffed. "then why would you be trying to run from them?"

"because i'm not trying to get killed." i said. "you wouldn't understand."

"i wouldn't." he muttered.

"what are you doing anyways, hyunjin-sshi?" i asked, getting up to looked over his shoulder.

"making food, what else?"

"for me?" i smiled.

"hah. no." he said, lightly pushing me out of the way. "for myself and gukyeon. you're an idol, go get yourself some food."

i rolled my eyes. "one: i can't cook. and two: do you think i can step outside right now?"

"then starve." he said.

"tch. you're so cold."

eunwoo ignored me, heading to the dining room and setting down two bowls of soup.

i walked towards the dining table. okay next, i have to trip, and then k-k-k-kiss him. ohhhh no.

you gotta do it eunbi. for your career, for your career.

my foot stepped onto a banana peel (how cliche), and i fell towards, eunwoo.

eunwoo turned around with shocked eyes, catching me.

but instead of kissing him like i was supposed to in the script, eunwoo grabbed onto me, lost his balance, and fell.

he fell right on top of me, our lips connecting.

i could already feel the heat rushing up to my face. it wasn't in the script, but this happy accident should work out anyways.

but apart from just acting—eunwoo's lips were so soft, and i unconsciously closed my eyes.

"hyu–AH! WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?!?!" minjae shrieked. "you basTArd HOW COULD YOU TAKE MY WIFE—"

"CUT!"

eunwoo lifted his lips off of mine, and looked into my eyes. they showed a mixture of confusion and another emotion i couldn't describe.

i cleared my throat and eunwoo hopped off of me in a flash, and i bolted straight up, immediately wiping my lips on my sleeve and trying to calm down my beating heart.

it's just acting eunbi it's just acting it means nothing nothing nothing—

"YAH! that wasn't in the script!" i snapped.

"so?" eunwoo asked. "it works anyways."

i let out a long sigh. "jesus christ."

"yES!" the director exclaimed, after looking at the recording. "this is even better than the script. good job you two, the fans will absolutely love this."

i rolled my eyes. "at least it turned out nice."

"you're not embarrassed now, are you?" eunwoo teased. "if you can't handle this acting, i wonder how you're career will turn out to be.

heat rose to my face and i crossed my arms, turning away. "i felt nothing. i'm just bothered to be kissed by you, nothing else. we're professionals."

"i was kind of shocked too, since the whole falling thing wasn't in the script." minjae said. "i guess it's fate though!"

"fate. as if." i said, walking away.

i was exceptionally annoyed for some reason. the same scene kept replaying over and over inside my head, driving my crazy.

"what the hell is wrong with me? he is right. if i kiss someone and suddenly start feeling feelings for them, i minus well tell my acting career goodbye."

"so how is your acting doing eunbi?" suzy asked, while we were walking into a restaurant. she invited me for dinner since she was craving food and dongwook was busy.

"it's pretty good. to be honest i don't like the other main actor but i gotta deal with it anyways." i said, sitting down. the restaurant was nicely empty with only a man dressed in black in the corner, his back turned to us.

"that's always the worst isn't it? but regardless, you should become friends. it'll be easier that way." suzy said.

i nodded, but then leaned over to get closer. "you know," i whispered. "kim minjae is acting with us also. he's really handsome."

suzy acted shocked and laughed. "it's a surprise you're thinking of something other than working."

i shrugged. "just a thought. i'm still not interested in anybody. they say the happiest people are single."

"i better leave dongwook in a ditch then." suzy said jokingly.

i laughed. "but for real, are you guys going to marry anytime soon?"

suzy scoffed. "that's far far away."

i laughed, imagining the two settling down with a family.

CHA EUNWOO

am i hearing things??

for some reason i keep hearing her annoying voice, everywhere i go. i can't believe i'm using brain power to actually think about her. she's a peasant anyways.

i turned around—and then immediately turned back after seeing a bleached blonde haired girl. shit it is her.

i finished eating quickly and stood up, putting away my tray and heading to the cashier to pay. i glanced at eunbi again, and wOah is THAT SUZY??

i had no clue blondie had connections with famous people. thought she was a nobody but never mind.

i quickly paid my price, but stopped at the cashier again without hesitation.

"hey...can you do something else for me?"
