The Secret Stories

Central Piece

The two figures that walked along the hallway got all the students attention because they were debating, more like one trying to persuade the other to help her with something. Another reason was that one of them was the famous director among the students, the prodigy of the filming faculty. Not only was she good in directing, she also often joined the creative team for sharing her ideas. It's easy to find her work around and a definite one would be the year end show, the most awaited one too. One thing that would be problem to others was that she was extremely strict and unapproachable, making Yena sort of scary to others.

"Yena, help me please..."

"No. Why are you even here? You're supposed to be in your own faculty." Yena scolded her friend that came from the photography faculty.

"Told you I need your help."

"Go ask Yujin and Wonyoung. They are the models, not me." Yena stopped to glare at her friend, the script in her hand was folded in half.

"You think I don't try that? They're busy."

"Then go ask your girlfriend. Don't tell me Sakura won't help you."

"You clearly know that she's still in Japan for her gaming competition. She told everyone in the group chat."

"She did?" Yena sounded surprised because she didn't know about it. Could anyone blame her for it? She was too busy lately.

"That aside, there are still others, Chae. I'm busy." Yena continued her debate with Chaeyeon.

"If it's not the last option, I won't come to you." Chaeyeon told Yena as they continued their walk.

"Kim Kim?" Yena tried to find a way out.

"For sure all of them are unavailable."

"You have other friends than us."

"But I don't know their chemistry like how I know all of you."

"No."

"Yuri has agreed." Chaeyeon could see Yena directly stopped on her track. The name clearly put a brake on Yena.

"I'll call her to cancel it."

"Please? I promise to help you with anything... and you definitely would get a nice couple pictures." Chaeyeon continued to persuade Yena, knowing Yena might be difficult at times but in the end her friend would definitely help her.

"Ugh... Fine. You owe me big one." Yena stated before walking away, towards the lecture hall.

"Thanks, Yena!!!" Chaeyeon's voice boomed in the hallway, embarrassing Yena in the process which could be seen from how Yena ducked her head down and quickened her footsteps.

"Now... time to persuade Yuri." Chaeyeon mumbled to herself, clearly knowing would be a lot easier to persuade the singer than the director.

The red car was occupied by three best friends, Yena, Yuri and Chaeyeon. The driver had been grumbling from the start of the drive. The one sitting next to the driver had been trying to calm the driver down while the passenger sitting behind had been laughing at the whole situation. Others would be scared by this Yena but not Yena's circle of friends.

"You... I have decided to help you and I should be the one driving us too?" Yena scolded Chaeyeon whom she could see grinning from her rear view mirror.

"Baby..." Yuri called out to Yena, warning tone in her voice.

"You too... why do you agree to this whole deal anyway?"
