Kim Taehyung is a genius assistant scriptwriter working for South Korean Productions after he quit poetry. Will he be able to grow in the film industry while being suppressed by his superiors?
The story depicts an irony between his beautif...
"Min So Ra! You're back!" Director Bo and Production manager Park welcomed actress So Ra as she entered the office in a black frock and golden high heels.
"Missed me while I was gone?" she asked merrily while taking her sunglasses off.
"Of course we did, my lady" Actor Jae replied sweetly, coming from behind.
So Ra smiled at him and turned to the director "I watched the trailer of the film you are working on. What was it called again?" she paused in thought before continuing, "Persona, right? It's fascinating. Seems like it got good dialogues" She glanced at scriptwriter Cha, who twitched his eye brows.
At the bus stand
Tae got on the same bus as before and took the same seat where his watch was found no more.
A girl entered the bus at the next stop. Tae didn't look at her, expecting a stranger as usual.
She walked to him and called out him in surprise. He looked back at her in as much astonishment.
"In Ha? What are you doing here?"
"Can I take this seat?" she pointed at the empty seat beside him before answering. Tae nodded.
"I'm back in the town" she said
"What about your husband?"
"We got divorced"
She looked down trying not to meet his sharp gaze. "I'm sorry" Tae muttered.
After a pause, she finally looked at him and asked "So? What about you? How is your life going on?"
"Got a job as asst. scriptwriter in South Korean productions. Trying hard to sustain itself. Forget promotion."
"It takes time to grow in the film industry. I'm sure you'll do well soon"
"What are your plans here?" he asked her.
"I'm still looking for a job."
"I see"
"And also, for a flat"
The bus halted and Tae got up. "My stop"
"Oh! See you" She smiled at him. Tae smiled back.
As he got down the bus, he only regretted having got on it.
Hoseok caught up with him at the entrance of their company building, while Tae was staring at it with his head tilted up. "Back then I promised her that I'd buy a flat for her someday in a building as huge..." he said without averting his gaze.
"Min In Ha?" Hobi asked.
Tae nodded. "I met her in the bus today. She's back in the town. Divorced"
Hobi gasped. "Did you dream of her again?"
Tae added "Of everyone"
Both made their way in.
Tae was surprised by the lady inside the office who pulled everyone's attention towards her by sheer presence.
"Isn't she the actress Min So Ra?"
"Yeah. She returned yesterday only from her shooting at Europe"
"Daebak man! She looks so much more beautiful in person"
"Haha! yeah"
"Hey kid! Come over here" Mr. Cha called out loud, gesturing at Tae.
No one looked at him but So Ra. Their eyes met for a second, until Tae noticed Actor Jae glaring at him.
On reaching Mr. Cha, he received a paper from him. "I wrote the script for today's scenes. Make the necessary changes before afternoon" Mr. Cha said
"Ok sir"
Tae joined Hoseok while reading the script. "A blank paper is better than this" he muttered
"Haha. It's not that he is completely incapable. He just wants to dump all the work on you without efforts from his side"
"I know that. Did you give the negative to the filming crew yesterday?"
"I don't know. I gave it to Lee Su Ni and asked her to hand it over to the crew" Hobi said.
"Oh. I'll catch up with you later. I'll be at the cafeteria to work on the script"

At the cafeteria
While Tae was making changes in the script, Actress So Ra approached him.
"Hello! May I?" She gestured at the chair before him. "Yes please" he responded, bewildered. "I'm So Ra. Min So Ra" she introduced first.
"I'm Kim Taehyung. The new assistant script writer. Nice to meet you" He said, blushing.
"Now I see where the new movie's dialogues are coming from" she said, slightly leaning towards him. Tae laughed without making sound.
The next instant, Actor Jae rushed towards their table with an envious look on Tae.
"C'mon So Ra, the manager wants to discuss something with you" he said
"I'll be there soon"
He glanced at Tae again and left reluctantly.
"Don't mind him. He is very clingy" So Ra said.
"Clingy? I think he likes you"
She sighed.
All of a sudden, they heard an angry outburst of the manager from a room, and rushed there.
Tae was shocked upon entering in. The manager yelled at Hobi "How can you lose the negative? How can you be so careless?"
"I didn't lose it sir. I gave it to Lee Su Ni. She must've lost it" Hoseok explained, and glanced at Su Ni.
"No sir. He is lying! I'm not involved in this at all. I have no idea where the negative is. He never even gave it to me in the first place!" She protested.
Without delay, the manager warned Hobi "If you don't bring it to me by tomorrow, you'll be fired!"
