Drama | Yeonbin ✔️

18 | 드라마

The next day arrived, Yeonjun continued with his promotions and schedule while Soobin spent the day unpacking all his clothes and items from his previous house into his room, which he will be spending the next 5 months in. He waited till 7 in the evening to meet Producer Lee and Bang Si Hyuk to discuss his role in the drama.

When 6:30 pm came, Soobin got out of the house. He didn't exactly know what to wear, so he just pulled on a sweatshirt and jeans and headed out.

Meanwhile, Yeonjun got off early from a commercial shoot since everything went smoothly. He surveyed nearby restaurants, about to enter one.

Should I takeout food for him? He thought to himself.

Yeonjun stood there for a solid minute, contemplating whether or not he should takeout food for Soobin ( all he's been eating since he arrived was the instant noodles he had kept in his kitchen cabinet ).

He's a full-grown male, Yeonjun. He can handle it himself.

"I'm sorry, is this the correct address?" Soobin asked the taxi driver, gaping at the grand restaurant outside the cab.

"Well only one of these restaurants exists in Seoul, so yes, I'm certain this is the right place." the taxi driver replied.

"Oh- okay then... thank you," Soobin mumbled, paying the driver as he got off.

The moment he stepped foot into the restaurant he wished he had worn something more formal. Looms of silk hung from its walls, the rims decorated with linings of pearls. Diamond chandeliers hung from the ceilings shining with a pearlescent glow. The tables were just as fancy as the restaurant's decor with white silk as the table cloth and its chairs plain white. It was almost as if the restaurant's outer facade was just half as grand as the interior.

"Excuse me, may I know if you have any reservations?" the waitress asked him.

"Uhm, could you check if there's a reservation under the name Lee Sung Ho?" Soobin replied.

The waitress took out a mini notepad from her pocket and flipped through several pages. I knew I was in the wrong place. Soobin thought to himself, letting out a sigh of relief. Walking into such a grand place while wearing such casual clothes placed him at unusual unease.

"Ah! yes, there is a reservation under that name, please follow me," the waitress instructed.

She led Soobin to a room, where Bang Si Hyuk and Producer Lee were seated at a round table.

"Soobin! You're here!" Bang Si Hyuk called out as he got up to greet the latter.

"Good evening, Bang PD-nim and Producer Lee," Soobin greeted, taking a seat at the table.

A few seconds later, a group of waitresses and waiters walked in, carrying platters of expensive dishes. Plates filled with Skillet Cod with lemons and carpers, Smoked Salmon, Hackleback Caviar, you name it. Soobin's mouth practically dropped at the sight of the food, it was almost as if his entire salary of working as a barista was equivalent to the price of the food placed in front of him.

"Just in time, how about we eat first then discuss the details later, don't want the food to turn cold now do we?" Producer Lee said.

"Of course, help yourself Soobin," Bang Si Hyuk said, taking a slice of salmon onto his plate.

Truth is, Soobin wasn't too fond of seafood or fancy dishes so he barely filled half of his stomach after eating. Thankfully the two males were too preoccupied with their food, that they didn't even notice Soobin not finishing his plate.

"That was delightful! Thank you so much for treating us to dinner again, Producer Lee." Bang Si Hyuk thanked, finishing the last of his caviar.

"Anytime, now, back to the reason for this meeting." Producer Lee said, adjusting his gaze to Soobin.

"I haven't got the time to properly tell you the whole plot of this drama. It's basically a high school love story where, you Soobin, or better known as Min-Joon in this drama, is an average person, which no one paid much attention to, made the school's heartthrob, which is Yeonjun, who's name is Daniel in this drama, fall for you." Producer Lee explained. He got deeper into the whole storyline, making sure Soobin understood every bit of it so he can resemble the character he'll be playing better.

"The first shoot for the drama will be tomorrow at 5 pm, don't be late. Here's the script for tomorrow's shoot, read it and practice it tonight to get familiar with the lines. I, myself, and Bang Si Hyuk will guide you along the shoot tomorrow if you're struggling. We will cut you some slack since you're being cast on such short notice with no prior experience as well. But do note that we do want you to give your best throughout the shooting, so do not think we will be lenient with you till the end." Producer Lee said, passing Soobin a file that contained his script for tomorrow.

"Also, news of you dating' Yeonjun, as well as you being cast in the drama will be released tomorrow. Remember, do not answer the paparazzi. If they do press onto giving them an answer, simply reply: 'all news regarding this issue will be answered by the TYU agency'." Bang Si Hyuk explained.

Soobin's head started to spin a little from all the information he had to comprehend, but he still tried his best to receive everything. After discussing a few extra details, he was finally free to return home.

"Thank you so much for your time," Soobin said, shaking Producer Lee's hand.

"My pleasure," Producer Lee replied.

Yeonjun paced around the house.

Is he coming back home or what?

Just as he was about to eat the noodles himself, he heard the doors open. Soobin walked inside, with a file in his hand.

"Why are you having two bowls of noodles for yourself?" Soobin asked, noticing Yeonjun holding a pair of chopsticks in his hand.

"Uh-"

Ask if he has had dinner yet.

"I'm really hungry." Yeonjun lied.

Soobin mouthed an 'Oh' and was about to head upstairs.

"On second thought, I don't think I can finish all this, take a bowl and eat it for yourself," Yeonjun mumbled.

Soobin couldn't help but feel the corner of his lip curve.

"So are you going to eat it or not?" Yeonjun asked.

"Yes," Soobin replied walking towards the table, helping himself to the noodles.

[ A/N: damn this was a pretty long chapter, can't believe we're near to the 20th chapter and I haven't even gotten to the good stuff yet ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ]
