The Star is bleeding

A love without regrets

After his discharge Ji Chang Wook was flooded with series of interviews…in two weeks time he managed to finish a CF, photo shoot and a guesting on a variety show. This is the first time in his 12 yrs of being an artist that he felt tired of smiling…it’s as if his facial muscles doesn’t want to cooperate with his brain. 2 weeks have passed but it’s as if it’s been a two year toll on his body.

“Noona, did Jihyun-ah change her number?” he cautiously asked his stylist, not wanting to sound intrusive

“Ah! Yes…she did about 2 yrs ago” Mi Yung Unnie replied

“I’ve something to give her but I don’t know where to reach her…and I still don’t have the courage to go to their house” he said sheepishly

“Then give it to me…and I’ll give it to her” Mi Yung replied teasingly

“Noona!” he scowled

“Look I really don’t want to play referee between the two of you, you’re all grown up…what’s this?” Mi Yung seriously said

“Noona….” He said

“Why?” Mi Yung asked

“Noona..” he repeated

“Yah! Seat properly or else you’ll look like a clown and stop acting up…I know what’s on your mind and yes it’s your fault…it’s your call…it’s your life” Mi Yung reprimanded

“Noona…Ji hyun-ah is going to US to study, she doesn’t want to see me again, I know it’s my fault…I messed up… I thought after all the time we’ve been apart my heart will go weary but no, seems like the opposite… I’m rambling right? So hopeless…” he distractedly said “I can’t even spill my heart out to my friends, they’ll kill me…after what I did, It will be absurd for me to retract right?” he continued

“Know what…Ji hyun-ah is a real angel for being able to tolerate your faint heart…and I’m really collecting all my strength now to control my urge on whacking your head, Aigoo…Pabo...Geobjaeng-i!” Mi Yung mockingly said

“Nothing change not even a bit…in fact it grew fonder…why did I ever do that? Pabo” he smacked his head and heaved an empty laugh

“Wook-ah, if I didn’t know you…I will really hate you for what you did to my Angel, but no, I know you have your own reasons why you did that…either selfish or selfless…you hurt her! What to do? You have to follow your heart…”Mi Yung added with sympathy. She could see the b tears in his eyes. If only she could drag Ji Hyun and make them talk their hearts out. She will do it…but Chang Wook needs to learn his lesson the hard way…he must learn...Ji hyun with all her love for him will not think twice on leaving if he doesn’t treat her well and love her with all his heart.

Jung Mi Yung, their common stylist has been a part of their love affair…it was a sweet journey…for Mi Yung playing cupid between this two love struck puppies has been one of the best experience she had in her salon. And seeing Chang Wook in this state breaks her heart, but she doesn’t want to meddle now… for she can feel that both Chang Wook and Ji Hyun are still very much in love with each other and that’s the most important factor...Chang Wook must do something…and she believes he will.

 

It has been 6 months since Ji Hyun left for the US. Chang Wook blindly followed his schedules and worked himself to death. He just finished another Rom-Com drama and as expected he was rumored to be dating his leading lady….he read the news on his feeds and it was trending on Naver…”What if Ji hyun-ah read this?” He nervously thought…he dialed his manager’s number

“Hyung, what time is my interview tomorrow?” he asked

“It’ll be late in the afternoon, why?” his manager asked

“It’s with Arirang TV right?” he clarified

“Yes! Why? Is there a problem?” his manager asked

“None! Hyung…”he meekly said

“Ah Weh?” his manager snapped

“Nothing…just be here early okay” he abruptly said to end the conversation

He paced back and forth not knowing what to do…he have to do something…Ji hyun-ah might misunderstood it…”What am I thinking? Misunderstood my foot! I’m lucky enough if she still remembers my name” he bitterly thought. No news about her…nothing just a regular update on her Instagram and that’s it, still the lump in his heart won’t go away…he wanted to smoke but Ji hyun-ah doesn’t want the smell of it…it always ends up with her in his mind.

 

“Let’s welcome our guest for today “ROM-COM King” Ji Chang Wook ….How are you? Welcome to the show” the interviewer said

“Ah Yes! How are you….” Chang Wook replied

“Your drama has been consistently high on the ratings and stayed on top till the end…you’ve been dubbed as the ROM-COM King having 2 high rating rom coms under your belt...before and after your Military Service…do you have certain rules to follow or technic in doing rom coms?” the interviewer asked

“Well, since it’s not my first time doing a rom com…it’s been easier for me to grasp the flow of the character…having a good rapport with your co-actors really contributed a lot to the drama as a whole” Chang Wook replied

“Your chemistry with your leading lady really gave all the feels for the drama…how did you manage to do that?” the interviewer asked

“With regards with the chemistry…I make it a point to discuss the flow of a scene with the leading lady” he said

“What’s your favorite scene in this drama?” the interviewer asked

“My favorite scenes? Those that include the gang…3 grown up professionals living in one roof…all the scene where were all included is my favorite” he said with a smile “It was really hilarious and so much fun” he added

“And I thought you would say it's the kissing scenes?” the interviewer teased

“The kissing scenes were artistically done, nothing special about it” he replied with a crease on his forehead

“What is your take on dating a co-star?” the interviewer prodded

“Well it’s not a bad idea…I fell in love with my leading lady before…” Chang Wook said nonchalantly

“ By before you mean…before you enter the military…?” the interviewer asked

“Yes with my Suspicious Partner…” Chang Wook said his eyes looking straight on the camera

“You mean with Nam Ji Hyun-sshi?” said the interviewer in disbelief

“Yes…and I’m still in love with her…” Chang Wook said with determination…his manager was stomping and making the X sign, asking the interviewer to stop the interview but since it’s live…he cannot do anything about it.

“So what happened? Did you confess?” the interviewer prompted

“I will…hope she’ll accept me” Chang Wook said solemnly “No more probing” he looked at the interviewer straight in the eye and smiled sheepishly.

“Woah! You really got me there…you really don't know how to beat around the bush...you're the man!….Well there you go folks…Nam Ji Hyun-sshi if you are watching now please listen to our Ji Chang Wook's plea” the interviewer teasingly said

 

“Have you gone crazy?” said his manager while shaking his head and stomping with disbelief.

“Have you seen the news Hyung? It’s all over the internet that... I’m dating my leading lady were in fact…I’m dying to follow Ji Hyun and beg her to take me back...they 're putting words into my mouth...it's unfair...I cannot take this anymore” Chang Wook retaliated

"You're now at your brightest...and you want to throw it all away just like that...Wook-ah! you're losing it....this is not you!" his manager angrily replied

Chang Wook continued with firm determination "This...all of this exhaust me...I feel numb...I don't know what to do anymore...Hyung...I want to smile again...I want her back Hyung…I will do anything to prove my love to her…if she wants me to stop being an actor and look for another option in life…I will do it…You know how much I love my craft but…hell…I’ll go crazy if this continues…I have everything but here” he said pointing to his heart “I feel empty…” he said desperately

“Hyung, I’ve been running around in circles all my life…I thank God for all the blessings He gave me…including Ji Hyun-ah…but I must admit…I messed up this time big time.....it’s my fault that I lost her trust…I desperately want her back…and I'm willing to give up everything....if that’s the last thing I could do to have her by my side....I’ll do it!” he said in tears

His manager having been with Chang Wook for so long knows when to stop. He understood where Chang Wook was coming from…he is broken hearted and he really needs help. He walked towards Chang Wook and soothe his back comfortingly....he perfectly understood now that this human Chang Wook was really exhausted and the Star is bleeding.

 

Manager-nim talked with their CEO about Chang Wook…they really need to do something! Chang Wook really lost it…he’s no longer inspired to go on and they set up a plan.
