The Director • Seo Changbin

03

It's been quite a while since I've seen Changbin, but we text everyday or as much as we can.. He says work's been getting harder, I wish I could help honestly. He doesn't talk about work in detail though... he says I wouldn't understand and it's too complicated, he's probably right but I want him to vent to me. We've only known each other for, what, 2 weeks give or take. But I've come attached to him, he's basically my safety blanket nowadays. He's the only person I know, god, that's kinda sad to say... I mean I know other people but I don't know anything more than their name, age, and major or job. I can't openly talk with those people. I'm such a loser honestly!

School has been going great though! I submitted my script to my professor a few days ago. Whoever earned a 90% or higher was allowed to actually have theirs produced. And du-duh-duuun.., I earned a 94%!

I haven't started casting yet, mostly because the acting department of the school is full of annoying kids. I really don't wanna deal with them just yet. Tomorrow I plan on talking to some music and production majors to see if they can help me out. I think it'll be fun.

"Ughh...! I'm so bored!!! Dumb Changbin with his dumb work can't hang out!" I groan and hit a pillow lying next to me. I get up from my sprawled position on my bed and head to my bathroom. It's like 3pm on a Sunday I should shower and probably go out. Maybe even just sit in my car for 20 minutes and act like I left the house.

I strip down and hop into the shower letting the hot water wash over me. I stand there for awhile not caring about the sure spike in my water bills this month before washing my body and then face. I step out of the steamy shower into the colder bathroom, doing my normal routine.

I head back upstairs and search for something to wear. I know it's only autumn and the weather will get colder over time but I'm dying from the cold! I need to go shopping for coats!

I shouldn't have assumed Korea would be warmer when moving here... "I can probably force Changbin to come along to shop..." I scan my closet once more, a tired sigh escaping my probably terribly chapped lips. I grab a plain grey oversized sweater and leggings, then throw them on my bed.

Abruptly I hear violent pounding on my front door. "Ughhhhh, just when I decide to be a normal human! God now my neighbors are gonna complain." The pounding never ceases but gets louder within the few seconds.

I whine trotting down the stairs and over to the door. "Just a second! God stop you'll break down my door!" I tightened my robe securely around my body and opened the door. I was greeted by a worried looking Changbin.

"He-" I tried to greet him but was interrupted

"Did I drop my wallet here?!" He said urgently

"Uhm-"

"Have you seen it?! Like at all?! Oh god I'm fucked if someone found my cards.." he ran his hands through his hair, then he gets a call. Not even paying attention he dismisses it.

Unknowingly he answers the call not looking at his phone. His dear band members on the other side. The members had a clear shot of the two and stayed quiet not knowing what to do other than watch the situation.

"Are you sure you haven't seen it?" He urged

"I'm not sure I've barely been home..."

"C-can I check inside?"

"Sure come in." She let him walk past her and she shuts the door; Changbin scanned the room anxiously not knowing where to look.

"Check the couch you sat there. If it's not there we can look in my car." Baram notes as Changbin nodded. He removed the cushions, sighing in relief seeing his black leather wallet.
