| Friends? |
A Familiar StrangerAs the staff members exit the conference room one after the other, Ji Hyo turns towards Dong Wook's direction. He was examining the script intently. The actor didn't even move an inch when the director said they could take a break, she reckons he probably won't be getting lunch. Even from afar, the bags under his eyes can be spotted. The actor looked so much more exhausted than he did last night when the giraffe and the ace had seen him.
As Kwang Soo bids her goodnight, she says, "Love, I think Dong Wook and I need to talk."
"Geureumyo, you two were very good friends. Also, I don't want hyung to be mad at you." He responds with a genuine smile. He knew Ji Hyo was a woman of reason, if she said that she thinks it's the right thing to do, then it must be the right thing to do.
Getting up from her seat, she walks over to her same-age friend. Ji Hyo was determined to patch things up with him, this uncomfortable situation has been going on long enough. Ji Hyo wanted to be free of regrets and she didn't want Dong Wook to hold any resentment towards her either. She just didn't want that one night of drunken mistake to tarnish their friendship anymore, and of course, she didn't want years of their friendship to be for nothing. Stopping right behind him, she taps his shoulder lightly. "Dong Wook ah."
As if the actor had seen a ghost, he blinks a few times. He didn't think the actress would want to talk to him again.
Sensing that Dong Wook didn't know how to respond, she settles on the seat right beside his. Flipping through the script, she tells him, "I heard we'll be shooting for nine months." Ji Hyo looks over at him, waiting for response. He seemed hesitant to answer, so she decides to take the lead instead. "Do you want to talk? I could leave if-"
"Ji Hyo, mianhae... About last night..." He whispers, his eyes glued on the same page that he's been staring at for the past few minutes. "I didn't know you and Kwang Soo are together."
"Ani. That's not your fault. Not a whole lot of people know about us. If you tell anyone, I will end you." She jokes.
