“bogum ah bogum? Are you still on the line?”

Orhhh.. ohhh neh, hyung, I am still on the line. There will be a first meeting soon with the main casts, I will let you know again.”

“neh.”

+++++++++++++++

“kim…yoo… jung...” bogum mutters to himself.

He has seen her before, a very long time ago, when he was supposed to join the agency as a vocal trainee. He wondered if she remembers him just like how he remembers her.

He remembered that day when he saw her from far, still a little girl then but now as a young lady. He has always thought that she is a very cute girl who will make a cute little sister, but unfortunately he didn’t stay with the agency and they have never been introduced formally before.

He also cannot really didn’t imagine that years down the road, they will be playing side by side. not as brother and sister but as a couple….

Bogum shook his head…”omo… I am already so nervous even before things starts. This is frustrating…. “

He texted Jingoo who has worked alongside Yoo Jung previously. “you know I am going to work alongside with yoojung shi soon, how is she as a person? Easy to work with?”

Immediately there was a return call from Jingoo.

“YAAAA.. how dare you snatch my crown princess?” bogum had a shock of his life but burst into laughing after that and challenged: “whei… when is she your crown princess anyway.. she has never made it to be your  crown princess..”

Jingoo: “ahhh… looks like wuri bogum shi have watched our previous drama right. Ahh how I miss yoo jungie. She has a great personality. You are worrying too much. Everything will be fine with yoo jung around.”

“That’s such a great testimonial. Everything will be fine with her around. You said to the extent that she is a fairy godmother.”

“you will know when you are on set. Hwaiting. Will look out for your new drama. send my regards to jungnie.”

++++++++++++++++++

Yoo Jung checked her schedule for tomorrow. She marked there “first meeting with crown prince”

“otokae… I can sense the awkwardness even now…I am usually quite ok when it comes to meeting new faces, why am I so nervous now..”

+++++++++++++++++++

“an neo hasaeyo” both bogum and Yoojung bowed 90 degree and greeted each other at the same time.

When both of them lifted up their heads, it was the first time their eyes met for the first time.

It was the first time Yoo Jung noticed how tall and good looking this person is. even then, she was the first to react and looked away immediately. She can feel her face blushing and her cheeks getting warm.

It was the first time Bogum noticed how small and pretty this person it. he stared at her eyes and looked away as she looked away. Ears burning…

Awkward silence as both bogum and yoojung waited for the rest of the crew to gather. One second seems like forever.

“erm… have you rode a horse before?” bogum sensed the awkwardness and tried to break the silence.

Still avoiding Bogum’s eyes, “huh… erm.. not exactly… erm.. unless you count those that I have rode in the carousel at theme parks.”

Yoojung was’t trying to be cheeky.  It was a very genuine and innocent answer but it just brings a smile to bogum’s face. He thinks she is funny.

“haha… neh… not counting those for sure. So it will be a first experience for us.” bogum flashed his most sincere smile, looking at the shy little sister.

Bogum: “even then, you know I am older than you right?”  

YooJung finally turned her head slightly to look at him finally, “bwoo… neh. I know you are older than me.”

“then aren’t you not going to address me formally?” bogum smirked and observed yoojung from the corner of his eyes.

“bwo?”  Caught in shocked, yoojung widened her eyes and sulked in her heart. Didn’t people say he is a very nice person?  

She nodded her head anyway, “I gae simida. Bogum shi, an neo ha sae…..” just as she was going to do her 90 degree bow, she felt a pair of big warm hands on her shoulder, preventing her from doing so.

“aniya aniya, I was just joking..” bogum flustered as he didn’t expect Yoo Jung to take him so seriously. “biyane, I was just trying to liven up the mood here. and you don’t have to call me that formally. In the first place, you have been in this industry longer than I have been, so I should call you sunbae nim instead?” bogum flashed his million dollar smile.

Yoojung let out a smile for the first time: “kenchana, let’s treat each other in friendlier tone, ok? bogum oppa? I can call you that, can i?”
