Shiyeon's
3 weeks.
i was mindlessly staring at my message inbox until the door of my van opened. The assistant director gave me a smile and i automatically turned my head towards her, forcing to beam back as well.
"Ms. Lee? The director said he wants to see you."
She told me. I closed my phone and put it on my pocket, standing from my seat before hopping out of the van.
The sunlight hit my skin and it seemed like it automatically brought me back to life from the gloom i was feeling whenever i am shaded. It has been three weeks...
Three weeks without him. It is driving me detrimental but it is how it should really be. that the truth might be painful but since it is for the better outcome of everything, we should keep it as it is.
There are things you can force to work, and there are thing that you just can't.
And our relationship, it was something on the latter.
"Good Morning, Ms. Lee."
The director greeted me with a wide smile. I bowed my head and smiled back, walking towards his direction.
Of course on that three weeks i did not do nothing. While still continuing my study, I am constantly shooting brand photoshoots and commercials. I can say as a rookie model, I am working hard for my position on the industry.
But at least, I am having fun and I got to forget the things i am thinking of whenever I am doing nothing and I am also earning money to rebuild our friend chicken house.
"Is there anything wrong, Director?"
I asked him. He then shook his head and softly laughed, looking at the shoot we took last night.
I am currently shooting a commercial for another cosmetic brand and it is already our second day of shooting. The commercial is like a skit and I have a partner.
"I am just wondering, Ms. Lee... You told me you only did modelling months ago, right?"
He asked, looking at my scene. I gulped my saliva, checking myself as well on the monitor.
"Yes, Mr. Director."
I answered, feeling conscious.
He cleared his throat and handed me a pile of papers that was on his table earlier. I gazed at it, thinking what it can be until i saw the front page.
"Have you considered.. acting?"
He looked at me with a soft smile, handing me the papers that is actually the script of an upcoming drama I heard of last week.
Kindle Me Red. That's the title of the drama.
I blinked twice, not absorbing what he is saying.
"What..?"
He laughed at my flabbergasted reaction. Of course i'll be shocked because
One, It is my first time having an acting proposal and Two, It is for a drama that everyone was aiming for.
Literally everyone i have worked with has been saying that the drama will be a big hit because of the main leads being the superstars of the country. It was said that they are still doong auditions for the supporting roles but i didn't know they are also scouting as well.
"You see.. We, Directors has a circle of friends that we uses to scout talents whenever we found one. And Director Jang, the director of Kindle Me Red was astounded by your acting clipthat i sent to him and he told me if i can scout you... They are currently trying to find the Main lead's lottle sister and i think her character will be very suited for you."
He explained. I was just speechless. I did not know what to say and I am just beyond happy.
This is a very huge opportunity. I can't even explain how happy I am right now to be given this kind of window for my career.
"So... Will you accept-"
"YES! YES I WILL!!"
I appeared slightly enthusiastic that I cut off what he was saying. Director Kim looked at me with slight shock but he just laughed it out.
"Alright. I'll tell Director Jang that you'll participate. I already called your agency as well so just talk to th about this matter. That's all, The shoot will start in ten. Get ready."
He dismissed me quick, i bowed my head and bid my farewell before going to the dressing room with the script on my hand.
This is it. i'll ace this opportunity.
After my shoot, I quickly went to my my entertaient building to talk to the director about the drama.
"Oh- Shiyeon? Welcome."
The President noticed me walking in and smiled. I beamed back at her and glanced at the woman she's talking to.
Hera. I noticed how she became even prettier since the last time i saw her.
She dyed her hair hot pink. It made her even prettier and more appealing. Wow. Bold colors often comes way too much and becomes an eyesore to some but since it is Hera we are talking about it looked way too good to her that it blends to her personality very well.
Wow... Compared to her, I can really see I am just nothing.
Yeah. Just nothing.

Third Person's
"You're ditching your classes, skates all day and not even come home for dinner. Just when I thought you'll be somewhat better after that poor girl left you, you're being even worse right now."
It was the first time in three weeks that Sunghoon and his father met inside their house. Sunghoon is holding a duffle bag and was about to exit the damned house if only Mr. Park did not noticed him from the dining table.
"Who do you think is to blame for all of that?"
Sunghoon's rude remarks made his father purse his lips and shrug his shoulder.
"I don't know. Ms. Lee?"
His father smirked at him, playing innocent. Sunghoon sardonically laughed, fixing the ties of his shoe.
"Too brazen for what?"
He whispered, audible enough for the old man to hear.
Mr. Park acted he did not hear that and continued to eat nonchalantly.
"Kids these days... Always on their rebellious phase." He sipped on his wine, watching Sunghoon tie his shoes
"You don't seems like you're already over with Ms. Lee just yet. I don't think you have understood what I've said back then.. should I try more-"
"What more do you want? We've already broke up. I've already set her free. We're not connected to each other anymore so stop harassing her for fuck's sake."
Sunghoon glared at his dad who has kept his mouth shut after his intervention. A small smile curving from his lips.
"If you're already over her, You should act like one, My child."
He said, eyes meeting his son's. They exchanged hlares before Sunghoon broke the contact, turning his back and leaving the house without saying anything anymore.
Mr. Park's face turned from a smug smirk to a serious one after Sunghoon finally left.
And with everything he is thinking right now, He took his phone and made a call.
