Wendy

Jung SooJung, age 28, born in the year 1994. She is from California and moved to Korea during her teenage years, schooled in a regular middle school, became friends with me. We were the best of friends, sharing meals with each other all the time, we graduated from middle school and she started work immediately, she worked as a K-pop idol and weren't present at school very often.

Thus, we drifted apart with very minimal communication between the two of us until university came, we were the only ones in the same course, the rest of my friends all went to the respective universities of their choices but we promised to keep in contact no matter what as we will be living together around 7 years later.

We became the best of friends again when she came to talk to me, wanting me to be her friend. I agreed to be friends with her again and so things were going smoothly at first until... She stole my boyfriend that I dated in college, my first boyfriend, the one that was in the business course. That was the last time that I ever saw her and now she is sitting in her seat, acting all elegant in front of the others who only knew her as a K-pop idol, an actress that everyone loved but it wasn't the case for me. She was the evilest person that I have ever met in my entire life.

"Hoseok ssi, do you know how much that I loved you??" She recited the lines from the script, we are still in the middle of script-reading and now they are trying out the lines to see if they are suitable for the drama.

"SooJung-ah, I am a K-pop idol and you are a writer. I don't want to hurt you." His voice is always as charming and I liked that voice of his, he looked like he couldn't act when we first met as he is like a ray of sunshine, always smiling in any situation, never frowning.

This kind of a character can never act in any dramas as they only know how to portray one expression, the happy-go-lucky type which many dramas wouldn't use as it is too simple but he proved me wrong. "OK, this is right to use this line, I'm sure that it would be viral." The director commented. "Miss Son, you really can write very well." He complimented me and I just nodded, not knowing what to do.

"I know right, Miss Son. You make my character more realistic than all the other characters that I have ever acted so far." Krystal took this time to attack me. "I'm sure that this drama will win the best plot award." Can you just shut up and read your script??

"You flatter me, Krystal ssi. I am just a young writer, I can't write as well as those senior writers that win awards for their dramas all the time." I told her smiling while I'm literally cringing inside. There is no benefit for her if she praises me, I don't get why she wanted to be 'good' to me all of a sudden. What exactly is her motive behind all that??

"Bang PD, I told you that Wendy will be a good choice to write for my drama." Hoseok ssi added. "And I will be looking forward to working with Wendy ssi."

"Ne..." I shyly nodded and they continued with the rest of the script reading session.

The main leads would have to take a picture to conclude their meeting and for fans to know that the drama is taking place and the first episode will start shooting soon when the first episode would be shown on screen. I stood at the side just looking at the four main leads take their pictures for social media marketing, only the main leads will get to appear as they are the faces of the drama, they will be responsible for the ratings of the drama.

The scriptwriter or the film crew doesn't get to appear as they are known as unimportant to the whole drama when we are actually the important people behind all that and the actors are the people who are used to promote the drama.

"OK, one more take..." The cameramen said to the four as they posed for the last time ever before they leave for other schedules. "OK, thank you for your cooperation." The cameramen started to check his photos when Hoseok called for a sudden request.

"Wait!! Can I take another photo??" He asked the cameramen.

"We have already taken enough, there is no time as we are behind time."

"The others can leave because I want to take one with the scriptwriter, she is the most important person in the whole production." He looked straight at me and I literally wanted to hide in some cave.

"Please, just one picture." He pleaded the cameramen and he reluctantly agreed because he is an idol and rejecting a K-pop idol would suffer some backlash from their fans, in this case, the A.R.M.Ys would be so mad if they knew that J-Hope got treated indifferently by the cameramen.

"OK, Miss Son..." The cameramen gestured me to go to Hoseok ssi who is really happy to have me stand beside him, I don't get why he wanted me to take a picture with him when he can take one with Jung SooJung or better known as Krystal. Hoseok ssi gave his own phone to the cameramen and came back to me, making a finger heart pose. I awkwardly put up a V and gave a small smile while Hoseok being the K-pop idol he is, confidently smiles the usual he does as the cameramen snap a picture of the both of us, a K-pop idol and a junior scriptwriter.

We thanked the cameramen for taking a picture of me which I would definitely look a potato next to a ray of sunshine, I'm totally not looking forward to how this picture would turn out to be like. "Do you have anywhere to go to after this??" He asked me as I picked up my bag from the table.

I shook my head. "I'm going back to RV cafe after this to finish up on the final changes to the script."

"I'm going with you as I crave a cup of coffee right now, will I be a hindrance to you working??"

"Not at all, just don't call for me all the time," I told him and we left the room, Krystal ssi was standing and leaning against the wall. I nearly screamed but I remember that I should act elegant like her.

"Wendy ssi, it has been such a long time since we have met. Was it during college days??" She exclaimed, acting like she is so happy to see me again. Why is she being so friendly all of a sudden??

"You guys know each other??" Hoseok ssi asked, interesting between the relationship of the two of us.

"We totally don't know--"

"Of course we know each other, we are known as the pretty duo during our college days!!" She linked her arm with mine, acting all friendly while I have the urge to saw her hand away with a saw. Jung SooJung, what are you planning this time??
