Romancing Miss Sunshine

4. Crossing The Bridge

The next time they met again, she was extra shy. When they spoke together, she barely could look at him in the eyes.

He liked a lot of sides of her. But a shy Kim Go Eun gotta be the most adorable. He's swept by the wish to kiss her again, and swallowed it down with coffee.

In this state of situation, they filmed the scene at the stable, where Tae Eul pointed a gun out of frustration that there were actually parallel universes, with Woo Do Hwan as the loyal Yeong. He had to admit, as the two rehearsed their scene and he stood there watching, he felt so jealous to Do Hwan. He really hated it when she gave those smiles and laughter to other people, regardless how friendly the two were. He had the wish to hit Do Hwan with the whip he kept holding, but of course, he held it in.

He and Go Eun always held a discussion before filming their scene.

It's rare that he wore something casual for the drama. For the scene at the basketball field, he wore a hoodie.

"Oh, you look like a college senior!" Go Eun commented, her face bright and her eyes shining.

"Someone you might fall for?" he replied boldly.

She was caught off guard, and responded with a giddy laugh.

"Can you be my bodyguard?" he asked, because she looked really cute wearing the black bodyguard suit with her hair in a braid.

"Then what would happen to your current bodyguards?"

"I can ask one of them to work with Do Hwan."

She laughed and hit him playfully on the shoulder at that, and they resumed the filming afterwards.

Another thing he had discovered that could help his cause was her love for handwritten letters. Through random browsing, he found out that she once said handwritten letters meant more, so she liked to give her fans handwritten notes in her fanmeeting.

He also gave up trying to fight this battle silently. He asked the staff who was the closest to him to befriend the staff who was closest to Go Eun, and found out what she liked.

From then on, he supplied her coffee and tea, with a note he wrote on a post-it, daily.

"Today too, I hope you'll be happy."

"Jung Tae Eul, fighting!"

"When you smile, I really feel the world has turned to a happier place."

Those were the things he wrote on his notes.

It was cheesy, but sincere. He had never done anything of the kind before, yet he didn't feel embarrassed. He'd do whatever it took to melt her heart.

And because he's always looking at her, he could tell that he's slowly making a difference. Her wall was starting to crumble brick by brick.

She still maintained her friendliness. However, she spoke gentler, her smiles and laughter turned more shy, and her eyes seemed to shine a lot more brighter.

He had made it his habit to knock on her van and sat inside with her. His alibi, in case anyone dared to ask, was that it's easier to rehearse and memorize in a closed, private space.

She was surprised at first, but then acted like it was no big deal.

They proceeded to rehearse their lines, until suddenly Go Eun asked him, "Sunbae, what are you doing, really?"
