HoSeok

I parked my car in the basement car park, making sure that there aren't any mistakes that I have made during parking and I locked up the car, not forgetting to bring my bag along with me. I boarded the lift up to the 20th floor where today's set is at, it is an office setting and I don't really like it because it is at the 20th floor and I am afraid of heights.

But I can't really decide where I would be shooting, it is entirely up to the production crew and the choice of their location, I am a talent which means that I have little to no authority over the matters of the production, and it is not like I am some big star. Even if I am going to be a big star in the future, I wouldn't be like that, it is too rude of me and it is not like me to do that.

"Good morning, HoSeokkie!" The makeup artist Bae Yeongwon greets me and I greeted her back. "You seem oddly happy today, like very very happy that makes it feel weird."

"I do?" She nodded. "But I look the same every single day though, there isn't a day where I report for work with a sad face on."

"But today is an exceptionally happy day for you, are you expecting something to happen later?" I shook my head, still not knowing what she meant. "I know, you are going to do something historical today."

"Historical what? I love you as a future sister-in-law but I seriously don't understand you at all, I don't have any idea what you are talking about." She rolled her eyes dramatically and then smacked on my shoulder with such force that I felt like my arm got dislocated. "What? That hurts a lot!"

"That is what you get for not understanding your future sister-in-law, I swear that you weren't this dumb but why are you so dumb at these kinds of things." She let out an annoyed sigh. "Wendy, it is your potential girlfriend. I'm talking about her, when are you going to confess to her?"

Potential girlfriend? My cheeks began heating up and all my words came out in stutters upon the mention of my best female friend. "What are you talking about? You are crazy, my future sister-in-law."

"I am not crazy, I am being serious. When are you going to confess to her?  You like her a lot and you feel good about so it means that it is a chance for you to date someone for the first time ever since your debut."

"Not now..." I shook my head. "Now it is not the right time, I still have to consider my current situation now and how I would move on from there and now is not the time to be thinking about such personal matters."

She annoyingly shrugged her shoulders. "Then are you going to date when you are finally retired from the industry? You are going to be in your 40s and don't have a girlfriend, that is extremely pathetic of you to do that. And what about Wendy? She is most probably going to marry someone who will act fast on his feet and not care about what others have to say about him, he can also juggle both of his personal and professional matters very well. And that person will definitely not be you, because you will not do of those things."

"Bae Yeongwon!" I yelled at her.

"Don't address me like that, we may be the same age but I am going to be your older brother's wife who is 2 years older than you." She smacked me on the head.

"If you keep on being so violent, SeokJin hyung will call off the wedding very soon." She did that again. "Can't you stop doing that?"

"I can't, because I just can't believe how dumb you are when it comes to love. You are supposed to take the chance when you still have a chance to, someone is going to snatch it away from you. You know that we had this talk before."

I sighed, I guess that I have to listen to her because she is going to be my sister-in-law and she is getting married to SeokJin hyung, she might threaten me by using his name to haunt me but it is just so much easier to just agree in order to survive. "Fine, I guess that I have to confess to her by the end of this week."

She beamed in delight as she slapped me on my back. "That's my boy, I just knew that you wouldn't give up so easily like that."

I touched my back and it hurts like crazy, I guess that I have to visit the doctors after this, I didn't know that women like her have so much strength stored in their bodies and they know how to hide it so well until they have to kill someone with their strength. "Where is Wendy now? She hasn't reported for work yet and it has been 30 minutes since the official call time of today's shoot, everyone has arrived for work but her." She asks the Wardrobe stylist when she came into the waiting room.

"Don't you know? She was sick and she had already taken the rest of the day off, even our director knows about it." She replied as she gets out of the waiting room after getting what she needed.

"So she is sick, and it is a very important day for you to confess your feelings and she is not here. It sucks." She pouted and then she looked at me with a sly smile. "But you can still visit her at her apartment today."

"Today? But I have to work and you guys can't shoot anything if I am not around."

"Alright then." She whipped out her phone and she began to type something on her phone which made her smile so brightly. "And the problem is solved now, you can go home now."

A few seconds later, SeokJin hyung comes bursting through the doors with a concerned look on his face. "Hoseok, why didn't you tell me that you got injured on your way to work? You even dislocated your shoulder, Yeongwon notified me about it earlier."
