*CUT*

 

Jo Jung Seok broke the hug with Park Bo Young. It was the scene where he congratulates her on winning the third place in a cooking competition. It was such an emotional moment for the two of them. He then gave a tight hug to Bo Young thanking her for the hard work.

 

‘You have worked hard’ He pats her head and back lightly.

 

‘You too, oppa.’ She mumbled in his shirt getting teary.

 

‘Thank you!’ She went around thanking each and every staff that works really hard for the team. She tried her best to hold back her tears. The months she spent with the Oh My Ghost filming team has been so good that it felt like a family.

 

They had a simple celebration together when the Oh My Ghost DC fans sent gifts to the actors and staffs along with some cakes to celebrate the final filming. Everyone is busy saying thank you and congratulatory messages but there were only two who couldn’t help but to feel otherwise. They promised to have dinner party the very next day to thank everyone for their hard work.

She couldn’t believe the filming has really ended. No more fun time with her kitchen family oppas or switching between characters of Bong Sun/Bong Ae. As she entered her manager oppa’s car, all kinds of emotions starting to pour in.

 

Ah…this is it. It has really ended. What’s with the sour feeling? Maybe it’s just me. Drama filming period is always longer than movie. Maybe this is why I am not used to it. I shouldn’t think too much.

 

She didn’t realised she was speaking out her inner thoughts.

 

‘Feeling the post drama withdrawal effect?’ Bo Young’s manager looked over the back mirror feeling concerned for her petite actress.

 

‘Eh?’ She looks up surprised. ‘Oh..oppa, I don’t know why I am feeling like this.’

 

‘Imagine you spent days and nights for months with the whole filming team. Even I missed seeing them again. Don’t worry. You will get over it soon.’ He gave her an assuring smile.

 

Deep down she knew something was different. Being a veteran actress for the past ten years taught her to cope with these emotions whenever any project ends. But this is the very first time she cried after a project has ended. It felt like she really lost something important in her life.

It was already 2am in the morning when she reached home. She slouched onto the sofa as soon she entered the living room. Suddenly her phone brightens up indicating a message coming in.

 

[Bong-ah, I didn’t get to say much just now. You worked hard for these past months. It was really fun working with you. Have a good rest tonight. See you tomorrow at the dinner party.] – Jung Seok Oppa

 

She smiled when she saw the sender’s name. Instantly she was typing away the reply.

 

[Chef, I had a fun time working with you too. I have learned a lot from you as well. Sleep tight and good night ^^] – Bo Young.

 

His smiles turns wide grin when the reply came in right after he sent it. Ah our Bong still calls me Chef. No wait, why am I still calling her Bong? Silly me. He puts his phone away and prepares himself to turn in for the night.

*Cheers*

 

All the staff had their glasses high up clinking together before drinking it down one shot. Jung Seok was a moderate drinker but he wasn’t very keen on drinking too much that night. It was halfway through the dinner and his attention shifted towards one person. He looks over his left side, a petite woman gulping down the beer like it was a soda.

 

‘Yah, Bo Young-ah, are you sure you wanna drink so much? Can you handle it?’ He looked at her with a concerned face.

 

‘Oppa its okay. I am gonna drink all my hearts out. I am so happy today!’ She gave him her best eye smiled ever while pouring herself another glass.

 

‘Will your manager be fetching you home today?’ He raised his voice a little as the group was loud and everyone is busy talking among themselves.

 

‘Aniyeo, I drove myself here today. He had something else to attend to.’ She gulps down another mouthful of beer.

 

‘Is there anyone else to fetch you home? I can do that.’

 

‘It’s okay oppa, I can call up the replacement driver if I really have to. But right now I am still fine!’ She gave him another smile.

 

‘Let me get you home later. I can’t let you drive alone in this state. Leave the car here tonight and get your manager to drive it back to your house tomorrow.’ He was starting to get concerned at her rate of pouring and drinking speed.

 

‘Really?’ Her eyes brighten a little. ‘Then I am gonna drink more!’ She picks up her glass and happily walks towards the director to have another round of cheer.

 

What am I going to do with this kid? He shooks his head subconciously.

‘Thank you everyone! Hope we will see each other again in other production.’ Jung Seok hugged almost all the staff members when the dinner was nearing to the end.  And slowly one by one the staffs started leaving the dinner venue.

 

‘Bo Young-ah, let’s go. I will bring you home.’ He taps her shoulder lightly.

 

She was feeling a little tipsy but her mind was still clear. Her head was throbbing so bad that she rested her head on the table. Bo Young raised her head when she felt him tapping.

 

‘Oppa, everyone has left?’ She looks around but she only sees the messy tables with leftovers empty beer bottles.

 

‘Yea, let’s go. It’s almost midnight already.’ He pulls her up from the seat.

 

As he started the car, the music player was already playing music on its own. It’s was playing Park Bo Young’s Leave.

 

‘Oh, oppa you are listening to this song before you got down the car?’ She started to hum along the rhythm of the song.

 

‘Yea..I really love this song so much that it was on replay mode. It’s very soothing to listen to, especially at night.’ He was looking straight at the road driving.

 

‘Oppa thanks for the compliment. I personally like this very much as well.’ She giggled unconsciously.

 

‘I think Soon Ae’s character really possessed you in some way. I still remember the first time when we met during the script reading, you are so shy. Just like Bong Sun’s character.’ He looks over at her occasionally.

 

‘Really? I felt it that way as well. I discovered a new side of me.’ She giggled again.

 

‘I realised it when you start to add your own ad libs into the scripts. You made it more fun. It came out naturally from you. I think it’s a good thing. Especially important for actors like us.’ He said.

 

‘Ah oppa, I…I…missed those moments already. I can’t…can’t believe it’s over.’ She let down her head and made a soft whining sound.

 

‘Yah Bong Sun-ah, are you okay?’ He slowed down the car and made a stop at the side of the highway road. He made sure he let out the safety lights to let the upcoming cars see them.

 

‘Oppa, I…I…felt so weird. I feel so sad leaving everyone. I…I…never felt this way before.’ She sobs quietly.

 

As if it was out of nature, he unbuckled both of their seatbelts and pulled her into a hug. With that hug, her sobs got even louder letting out all the feelings that has been keeping inside of her. He quickly pats her head, hushing her to stop her from crying. He was also trying his best to prevent his tears from dropping.

 

They were like this for whole 10 minutes. No words were exchanged. It was a complete silence but a comfortable one. Jay Park’s Eyes was playing softly in the background from the OST CD.

 

‘Feeling better?’ He asked softly when he hears the sobbing gets softer. He never stops patting her head, soothing her back gently.

 

She nods slowly as her face is still buried in his shoulder. His shirt was getting wet from all her tears. He broke the hug to take a look at her face. Even though her makeup was a slightly smudged, she still looked good in his eyes. A natural beauty can’t be covered by those mere makeups.

 

‘Aigoo, Bo Young-ah, you little crybaby.’ He can’t help but to pinch her chubby cheek. He adjusted himself before getting ready to drive again.

 

‘Oppa, you are still making fun of me.’ She beats lightly him over his shoulder. Though she felt embarrassed to be crying in front of him, she never hides her emotions around Jung Seok. They may be acting during the filming, but their interaction was genuine and sincere.

 

They continue to chatter on as they reminisces on the times they had together during the filming. All the funny and romantic moments that only they both understand. It felt like the night could go on but shortly after they arrived at Bo Young’s house.

 

Being a gentleman, he got down the car to walk her to her house’s front door. She got herself a nice house after all those years of hard work in the acting industry. When they reached the doorstep, she turned around to face him.

 

‘Oppa, thanks for sending me home. If not I will need to get a replacement driver to bring me home.’ She gave him a thankful smile.

 

‘No it was nothing. Remember to get back your car tomorrow. Rest well.’ He pats her head as usual again.

 

She gave him another smile before turning back to unlock the door. Before she steps in, she felt a tug by her wrist and the next moment she was in his embrace.

 

‘Oppa!’ She exclaimed softly.

 

‘Can you…be my…Bong again?’

 

He took a deep breath and continued bravely, ‘I don’t know since when it started but I think I like you. I like you more than Bong Sun. It pains me seeing you getting cold from the raining scene. It pains me when I see you getting stressed up during the filming. It pains me when you get sick after the late night filming. I know you are strong little woman, but you just made me wanting to take care of you. I wanna hold you longer whenever we have hugging scenes. It felt so natural to me, you in embrace. Being in acting industry for so long, I never felt this way before. I know how to differentiate from reality and acting. And I am sure that this is not the after effect of filming. I was battling with my inner self for a few days before I came out with this conclusion. I rather trust my instincts more than being regret for not confessing to you. My feelings for you are real. ’

 

After saying all in one piece, he was expecting her to push him away or at least laugh it off. But what he got was a complete silence.

 

‘Bo Young-ah, did you hear me?’ He broke the hug to look at her.

 

She was in tears. Tears of joy. This is what she has been feeling since the filming ended. The sour feeling that she couldn’t explained. She finally knew what she was feeling. She like him.

 

‘Why are you crying?’ He rubs away her tears.

 

‘Oppa, thanks for telling me all these.’ She was still sobbing lightly. ‘I…I… wasn’t sure of my own feeling before this. But now it has seems to be clear to me. I want to see you again…even after the filming ends…not as Chef but as Jo Jeong Suk oppa.’

 

He grins and gave another light pinch on her nose. Sometimes he felt her being so cute that he wants to keep her inside his pocket and bring her wherever he goes.

 

He gave her smile and brought her into his embrace again. Although she didn’t say much, he knew she felt the same. He tightens the hug when he felt her arms around his waist. He knew they shouldn’t rush into anything. If the feelings were mutual, time will tell. All he wanted to do is to get to know her more. Not as Na Bong Sun but as Park Bo Young.
