The next morning, Yongsun woke up with two heavy eye bags hanging below her eyes, she was severely sleep deprived. Despite that, she still made it to her shoot. It was just a short 2 hours’ shoot, Wheein noticed the heavy eye bags that Yongsun had, however she doesn’t probe anything since Yongsun didn’t mention anything. This is Yongsun’s Yong-spirit, regardless of what happened to her, she would still be as hardworking and positive, push her further and she’ll just become much braver, she would never allow someone else make a joke out of her.

After the shoot, Yongsun quickly excused herself saying that she need to rest. It was almost close to evening when Yongsun reached home. Right in front of Yongsun’s house stopped a house mover truck, several workers were busy moving stuffs up and down the truck. She was curious who will be her new neighbor. From what she’s aware, the apartment next door to them had been empty for several months. As the lift opens, she saw Yonghye talking to someone, it was Hyunsik. Upon seeing Yongsun, Yonghye excitedly greeted her. “Unnie, Hyunsik oppa bought the apartment next to ours, we’re going to be neighbors!”

Yongsun’s face sunk, without saying a word neither sparing a look towards Hyunsik, she brushed pass Yonghye and walked towards her own house. Hyunsik quickly followed behind. “Yongsun, hold on.”

Yongsun ignored him and continued walking, Hyunsik quickened his steps and stopped in front of Yongsun spreading out his hands that forced her to stop.

“Yongsun, let’s have a talk.”

“There’s nothing to talk about.”

“I just need 10 minutes.”

“You don’t even have a minute.”

Yongsun forcefully walked past Hyunsik, brushing hardly against his shoulder in the process. There was a familiar sweat smell coming from him, the memories from the past rushes into her mind, reminding Yongsun of whenever after Hyunsik finished his badminton game and she would be waiting right there for him.

Regardless how close Hyunsik had moved his house to her, Yongsun was not going to allow Hyunsik to move close to even her heart, she warned Hyunsik silently in her heart.

Upon reaching home, Yongsun opened the refrigerator and starts to prepare dinner. Yonghye came home, lying against the kitchen wall speaking firmly. “Unnie, you’re too harsh towards Hyunsik oppa.”

“He isn’t your oppa since 10 months ago, please change it.” Yongsun said as she took out the eggs from the fridge and starts cracking them.

“I know it’s oppa’s fault.” Yonghye totally ignored Yongsun’s words, “but, if he acknowledges his mistakes and apologizes, you could give him another chance.”

“The mistakes that he made, can never be forgiven.” Yongsun stated firmly.

 

 

 Monday morning, there was a meeting between CEO Kim, PR & Marketing and the artistes.

“We’ve signed a contract with the Moon Group, there will be articles coming out from tomorrow onwards. This should be on the headlines. I’ve also decided to send Yongsun to the auditions and profile photo-shoot as requested by the subsidiaries of the Moon Group. It might be for endorsement deals, drama or film roles. We can only know after you go for their auditions. Any objections?”

Yongsun immediately objected. “I’m sorry, but currently I’m currently involved in a couple of drama shoots and I’m still taking classes. Besides, why do you have to send me? There’s our few other of our seniors here, or maybe the younger ones, they should have a chance for it.”

“Yongsun, you’re not that young anymore to be honest. Look at the industry now, most artistes nowadays are all barely past 20 years old. Do you want to stay as a supporting role forever? Your seniors have already established their position in their own various fields from musicals to films. What about you? The kids here still have a couple more years to train, but you don’t. With some scheduling and coordination, I believe we can work out a schedule that can fit in your current drama, classes along with the auditions. Besides, it’s only an audition, you may not get offered anything – which I’ll be severely disappointed in you.” CEO Kim wasn’t sparing any face for Yongsun when he said that in front of everyone. Yongsun was almost embarrassed, she wanted to leave almost immediately.

A silence followed, since no one else was saying anything else, CEO Kim ended the meeting asking Eric to sort out Yongsun’s schedules.

After the meeting, Eric along with Wheein followed Yongsun to her room, with a gentle tone. “It’s true what CEO Kim said though.”

“Tell me about it.” Yongsun rolled her eyes and she settled down on her sofa, Wheein took a seat on the chair and looked at Yongsun.

“Why are you so against it? They’re just asking for you to audition and do a profile with them” Eric sat down next to Yongsun.

“I have enough work on my hands right now. From the last I’m aware, I believe my schedule is full until the end of this year, and we’re only at February right now?”

“Don’t exaggerate Yongsun, you yourself know that production companies like to block out the whole month just in case their production gets delayed. And they’re able to block it because you do not have anything on, which means, you’re not that busy.” Eric embarrasses Yongsun once again following CEO Kim.

Wheein chuckled slightly at the side, earning a death stare from Yongsun.

“Jung Wheein, you must be so free to be able to sit there and laugh?” Eric scoffed.

“Well, kind of. Like what you said, Yongsun unnie’s schedule is kind of empty. We only have 2 scenes later at 3pm.” Yongsun almost wanted to throw the cushion towards Wheein.

“Good! You shall be in charge of calling up the production companies and coordinate Yongsun’s schedule starting from now. Make sure you set a date as soon as possible for the auditions and photo shoots!”

“Eh?! Isn’t that supposed to be your job! Oppa!” Wheein stood up immediately and pointed at Eric.

“If I’m not wrong, I’m currently your superior and you’re a trainee under me. You’re training for anything in this company right? I’m training you

Chapter 37: I'm a new reader it's such a pity that I only found it this late but I certainly do not regret it. This is so well written and I loved every single bit of it. Kinda slow burn but it was worth it. I hope they stop hurting soon, coz I really felt their hurt while reading it. I cried nonstop on some chapters. Can't wait for when Byul finds out that the woman she mistaken as an was no other than the love of her life. Please update soon. My heart can't wait any longer. 🙏
