A/N: Hello! As usual, I got sidetracked by another storyline after I watched SYJ's movie. Again, I would like to know if anyone is interested in reading this. The Yeo Wol and Lee Chung/Jeongjo fic is still ongoing but I've been sidetracked by this and overwhelmed with work so I could only write it this weekend. Super sorry to those who have been waiting for it!

Characters: SYJ's Kang Yeo-ri from Spellbound, HB's Jung Ji-ho from Worlds Within

I am not even remotely involved in tv or movie production so please forgive if there are errors in what the jobs in production are.

~maia~

"ME? It's not my job to book our resources."

Jung Ji-ho replied to the producer he was working with. He wanted a good working relationship on the set, however, the production schedule was tight and they were already having a delayed start for this new TV movie project.

"Please?" the line producer, Hwang Chul-min, begged.

The crew was cramped at the conference room where they were planning on the upcoming project. However, they hit a snag when the producer said that the script lacks 'something'. What that 'something' was is anyone's guess. The line producer was given a clue though. "Contact Kang Yeo-ri. I worked with her once and she seems to have a solid grasp on how to contact ghosts or people who have passed on."

"We've spoken to other mediums," the line producer and scriptwriter said, however the producer was adamant.

"Everyone has tried and we couldn't get her to help us," the line producer continued, directing the comment to Jung Ji-ho. Hwang Chul-min was aware that this request was not a task normally done by a director, but he had exhausted everyone from the crew. If the director wouldn't want to do it or was unsuccessful, he was already contemplating asking the actor or actress involved in the project.

Jung Ji-ho looked up from the papers he was studying. "Why do we need this particular medium's help again?"

"Her input is valued by producernim,"Hwang Chul-min replied.

"And she does not want to help us because?"

"She does not want to be famous."

Jung Ji-ho rolled his eyes. "Wow. That's presumptuous."

"She could be a model or hired for commercial films. It's not too far-fetched," Hwang Chul-min said, finding himself defending the stubborn woman he met a few weeks back. As stubborn as she was, there was something about the woman that drew him.

Jung Ji-ho turned to the schedule, the script and his contract. Over the amount he would be paid, he liked the project. It was an unusual story that combined horror and romance that captured him and a story he felt like his mother would truly enjoy. Sighing, he nodded. "Fine. What's this person's name?"

Happily, Hwang Chul-min handed the director the name, address and phone number of the medium.

"Her name is Kang Yeo-ri."

*

Unknown number calling.

Kang Yeo-ri rolled her eyes at the notification. She was almost certain that this would be from that production company who wanted to learn more about her and her "companions". "I shouldn't have helped that woman," she muttered to herself while she swept her backyard.

"You know you couldn't ignore souls who seek you."

Kang Yeo-ri stared at her friend. "I know but now look. People are seeking me out. I don't want to be famous!" she complained, repeating what she kept saying to the production staff.
