Chapter 94

Youngest of Pieces: [WHO- I AM] (8)

 

Coming back home made the ladies long for the bed, but for some reason they don’t find themselves in bed. Hannah is practicing for tomorrow’s first drama filming while she is sitting in the living-room and trying to sort movies and books with the other ladies. Her practicing doesn’t go so well at the moment.

“I can’t believe we have lived here for a month and we still haven’t unpacked everything,” Julia mutters.

The ladies have the important things put up, but the bookshelves in the living-room have been a mess. 5 Pieces have a big mix of books and films and music, and they are sorting it all out together to make it look good in the shelves.

“Oh, I didn’t know we had Titanic…” Maria mentions, lifting up the DVD with an impressed expression. Hannah thinks she and Emelia had bought Titanic once, a long time ago.

“I can’t believe it has only been a month we have lived here,” Emelia comments on what Julia said, petting Ace in her lap more than helping out with the sorting. The puppies are lying on the floor too, enjoying the company of their family. “It seems like hundred of times we have been away and come back to this place.”

“That’s probably true too,” Julia nods.

“I got no idea what you are talking about,” Hannah mutters and grabs a pile of books she has been sorting out to bring it to the shelf. She had listened more to Maria than the others, thinking about when she actually saw Titanic last time. It must have been a few years.

“I’m just saying we have lived here in a month, but more than half of that time, I have been abroad so it feels like a longer time than just a month,” Emelia explains for her with a yawn. It is a good moment of them sorting it up, and the living-room looks much better when they go to bed than it has done for a month.

 

The next morning, Hannah wakes up to her alarm. She has her day all planned out and she begins it in her bedroom; unpacking the bags she didn’t finish unpacking from coming back from Thailand yesterday, cleaning up in her room so it looks good and she takes out the things she will need during the day on her bed along with the bag she will bring with her. Dressed in a hooded sleeveless top and sweatpants, Hannah heads out of her room and go downstairs while putting her hair up in a pony-tail.

“Good morning,” she greets a happy Michin with a cute voice, bending down when she is done with her hair to pat him. She can hear movements in the kitchen and walks in there to see who it is and to drink a yoghurt. “Good morning, Emelia.”

“Morning. You seem to be awake today,” Emelia comments after taking a glance over her shoulder at the youngest. She is cleaning up after her breakfast, but Emelia too seem to be more awake today than yesterday.

“Mm… I slept really well; but now I am just nervous for the filming today,” Hannah admits. She thinks it is to sleep in your own bed after not sleeping well this weekend that made her sleep like a child.

“Ah right, the drama filming. I got so much in my own head that I forgot for a second, but you must call me to tonight to tell me about it. And I slept surprisingly well too,” Emelia says. “No one has been out with the puppies yet, just so you know.”

“I know,” Hannah nods, drinking her yoghurt between the talks, “I’m taking them out for a run.”

“You do know it’s raining, right?”

“Rain won’t kill us,” Hannah smiles softly.

She has planned to go out on a run this morning, and the rain will not stop her. She will bring both Ryo and Michin with her and see how it turns out. Finishing her yoghurt, Hannah is met by Maria and Carolina who both comes down the stairs, the ladies exchanging some words about this and that; everyone seem to be in a surprisingly good mood. Julia has already left for a morning radio, while Maria is going for her solo comeback practice (she is excited as they today will learn the dance for one of her favourite songs she has recorded) and Maria seem to be ready to leave with Emelia. Maria will get a ride to the practice when Emelia heads to the airport, so they both leave while Hannah head upstairs to use the bathroom and brush her teeth after wishing Emelia good luck on her solo promotions in Japan. Emelia said she might have a chance to meet up with FT Island for either dinner or a drink, smirking when boasting about it – it felt like some time since they all met.

Carolina has the TV when Hannah finally go out with the puppies, calling for Carolina that she is going too and Carolina sings for her before the door is closed between them and Hannah shakes her head, smiling when leaving.

Starting off walking, Hannah lets the puppies do their things before she start to jog. It isn’t raining at the moment, and that feels good when they start off. Ryo is more used to come along when Hannah takes a jog but Michin is always so filled with energy that he doesn’t seem to have a problem with it. if the puppies were untrained they would be jumping on Hannah’s legs or start rush off the moment she began jogging, but she must have taught these two well as they nicely jog next to her. After half an hour it begins to rain, and they start to almost run the way back. Hannah is covered in sweat and rain when they come back, and she knows the apartment will smell wet dog. She stretches and finishes up inside the building, feeling relaxed now when she has had the chance to clear her thoughts and let out some tenseness in her body for today’s filming. She can’t believe she is going to film the drama today. She is excited to work on this. It could turn out to be a great drama – she hope she is what her character needs.

Always prepared, Hannah had put towels in the hall to clean the puppies right when coming indoor, but when she opens the door she has to hold on to the two leashes because there are a lot of loud voices inside, and tons of strangers’ shoes covering the hall as well and Hannah looks shocked when her panicking heart calms down as she knows what it is. How could she forget it? Carolina talked so much about it yesterday, and she was even up early to fix a light make-up and clean up in the house. Manager Kim was even in the apartment before; she was in the bathroom when Hannah left though.

Barefoot Friends is a Korean reality-variety show for SBS where these fixed celebrities gets to experience “real happiness” with others through challenges and whatnot.

The main MC Kang Ho Dong is heard everywhere in the apartment, but Hannah guess they all are in the living-room. She had so forgotten they were coming! Hannah dries the puppies but keeps them in the leash when she walks inside, peeking inside the living-room when passing by in her try to sneak upstairs without being seen but with the staff having their backs against her in the living-room opening, the cast are sitting on the floor with their backs against the wall and balcony. They have brightly and loudly been chatting and nothing misses Kang Ho Dong’s eyes as he is the one calling out for her, waving his hand nicely. Hannah can feel how she blushes to see they all look at her after his greeting, she bows and waves, and she gets happy when they let her run upstairs. Maybe they saw what a mess she was.

Hannah keeps grimacing and cursing herself for missing such an important thing. She could have skipped the run and hided in her bedroom or went to work earlier to not have to be seen. Now, she showers and takes care of the puppies in the big bathroom, hearing them being loud downstairs.

Just about ten minutes before Hannah came back, Barefoot Friends rang the doorbell. Carolina had in her brightest way welcomed them inside. MC Kang Ho Dong, elderly Yoon Yong Shin, rapper Eun Ji Won, singer (SS501) Kim Hyun Joong, actor Yoon Si Yoon and After School’s UEE all came inside the apartment with huge expectations to step inside a girl-group’s dorm – and not just any girl-group, but the global charismatic and lovably 5 Pieces. They had complimented the pictures hung up in the apartment when being showed inside the living-room amazed when seeing the shelves with 5 Pieces’ collection of books and movies (even commenting on that they have books and movies in all kind of languages) and the pictures of 5 Pieces on the walls keep getting attention. Starting by sitting down after just seeing the living-room, Carolina is the one getting to talk. She points at a 3-set photos frame hanging on the wall on their right side, the frame has two more of itself next to it, all put in different heights but they are put closely together so they could just as much be just one big frame containing nine pictures. She explained that it was a gift from their fans, so even the pictures in the frames were sorted out by fans.

The photos are fun and friendly but also warm. The first picture on the left is a close-up on Hannah’s face from a photo shoot with her blushing cheeks, lips red and her eyes are really clear and it is a super pretty and beautiful quality picture. The picture below is of Carolina, Maria and Emelia from shoulder and up, Maria in the middle has her arms around the other two and they are looking in the camera with simple smiles, maybe taken backstage at an event during winter. The third picture is of Maria with Manager Lim, standing together for a picture with his hand shown on her back as Maria is leaning towards him to show the sleeveless dress she is wearing. They look like father and son in that picture – and the girls have no idea of where their fans got that picture. The frame in the middle has the first a picture of Emelia standing there in white shirt and tie and Julia wearing a pretty dress, posing together like some sort of couple; the picture was taken during summer outdoors. The next picture is a close-up of Hannah and Emelia doing weird face-expression to the camera, and it looks like they were out skiing there; the other picture is with softer colours of Hannah, Emelia and Maria together doing funny grimaces in what looks to be a backstage picture too. In the last frame it is a sweet picture of Julia and Carolina from a summer photo shoot, looking close; a picture of all members in 5 Pieces together with their stylists and managers from 2011 (I Love You promotions) wearing really pretty outfits, like a family picture and the final picture was taken somewhere in Asia when Emelia and Julia were sitting on a bench cooling off in the hot sun, smiling brightly to the camera taking the picture from the side.

While sitting there and talk about why they are there, UEE takes down a smaller frame with four pictures next to each other in the same frame from the bookshelf to show the others; the first picture is of Hannah, Emelia and a woman tightly hugging and laughing, the second picture is of young Emelia and Hannah outside a church (taken ten years ago!), the third is of Maria having Pringles chips in for a duck-mouth, blowing the camera a kiss and the last is taken from the beach of Carolina and Julia.

“What is this from?” UEE is fascinated by the picture taken of the two children. Emelia looked pale and her hair was long, brown even back then, she in fact looks like a child-version of Emelia with glasses and a big smile, her arm childishly put around the chubby blonde Hannah who also was smiling widely in the sun.

“That is from some school thing: they were like 9-10 years old there,” Carolina answers, looking happy when the others comment on that they look really cute, must have been friends for a long time and such. Carolina sees how Yoon Si Yoon glances up on the bookshelf too to see another picture in another frame, which he finds lovely as it is of Maria and someone else sit on a floor, leaning against a wall but Maria is leaning forward to lovely give a kiss on the other person’s shoulder.

“Who is this?” he asks and picks up the frame to show them.

“That’s Maria’s mother,” Carolina easily answers. The cameras film another frame in the bookshelf, a black and white picture of Maria and Hannah tightly hugging each other and smiling at the camera. They have already taken notice of the big poster of 5 Pieces above the biggest sofa and will later also see a picture of the girls with some SM Town family n a small picture in the kitchen.

Hannah had then showed up, and when she left, Kang Ho Dong told the guys among them to stop drool. The blonde girl had showed up all wet with bare arms and her hair put up in a nice pony-tail; of course guys only have one reaction.

Barefoot Friends are filming with Carolina now to learn more about the food Sweden eats – or in this case; 5 Pieces.

“What kind of food do you make here in Korea when you miss Sweden?” Kang Ho Dong wonders.

“Since the foods in stores are different from Sweden and Korea, we can’t make the yummiest things we normally eat in Sweden. But today, we are going to make a very simple meal with meatballs and mashed potatoes. We actually made it one Christmas here in Korea; it is a simple favourite for us.”

Carolina will talk a lot today, but for now starts a small round-tour with the guests.

“Where are all the members?” Yoon Yong Shin wonders, obviously noticing the silence.

“Um… Julia will come a little later, Emelia is in Japan and Maria has a schedule,” Carolina answers and walks to the left outside the living-room, and they all know Hannah is upstairs. “This is my music room.” She shows them inside the office she shares with Hannah, and the guests gets impressed when getting inside, especially over the equipment Carolina has in her side of the room. Eun Ji Won glances at a paper on Hannah’s desk while Kim Hyun Joong is amazed by Carolina’s guitars.

Eun Ji Won chuckles. “She has her whole day planned out here,” he mentions when understanding what it is written. Hannah has written down all the things she has to do today (it is a long list) and she has even written in which order and some things like when she is leaving and those things have a time schedule as well.

“Ah, correct, she has a copy of it in her bedroom too,” Carolina explains and turns to talk about her music equipment. Ji Won and UEE both lingers a bit by Hannah’s table, just taking glances of it and spotting Hannah’s own books, filled with notes in them, writing pads and even papers and books for acting lessons. UEE nods with an impressed face-expression when seeing that it is a lot of studying on Hannah’s side, while Carolina’s side is completely taken over by music.

“She is working hard on acting,” UEE whispers to one of the cameras, glancing up at the walls were pictures are too just as Kang Ho Dong comments;

“5 Pieces’ apartment is filled with love from fans.” They all notice the gifts and self-made paintings from fans around the apartment during the round tour. Carolina shows her bedroom too, but no one else’s bedroom. She shows the clothing room they have furthest in on the second floor, a room they use as a wardrobe.

“This is a part of Maria’s shoe collection – the rest is in her room,” Carolina says when pointing at the shoe shelf going all the way up to the ceiling. But it isn’t that wide as there are a lot of other things in the room too. “And Hannah has a hat collection too. Not anything fancy, she just has a lot of hats. Emelia collects rings; but she has that in her room.”

The interesting part of the apartment is the kitchen, which is their last place for the tour. The first thing they look in is the fridge, and the guests get impressed by it.

“A lot of things to drink…” Ho Dong mentions and looks through what it is, “there is yoghurt… juice… milk… banana milk… water… soda…”

“Do you like eggs?” Yong Shin wonders and points with a grin at the amount of egg they have in the fridge.

“Yeah, all ladies like eggs. And in these boxes there are different fruits and … other things.”

Opening the freezer they gets a big surprise to see a bunch of home made Korean food in different boxes together with ice cream and some other food. Carolina explains that their manager’s wife sends food to them at times; it is delicious, she adds. They look through the cabins too.

“This is Julia’s tea collection… Hannah bought this in London for her, oh, and a fan gave this to her when we were in Busan last year,” Carolina says when pointing at the collection of tea. Hyunjoong looks in another cabin, seeing things that also looks like tea and asks what that is. “That’s like … herbs and healthy things, I think. It’s Julia’s too.”

They find the food for the pets too, along with some candy for the pets and toys that had been put away. They do find instant food, the things that all idols have.

“There are labels on everything,” they notice. On the boxes with food in the fridge there are labels of what it contains, it is on other things in the kitchen too but most shelves have a label on it to show what it is on that shelf and a few things has a member’s name on the label.

Carolina chuckles, “During our first few years in Korea, we had labels on every single thing in the apartment to learn the Korean name of everything. Our manager used to question us whenever he was here,” she reveals, “But we don’t have that anymore.”

Meanwhile, Hannah has washed up both herself and dried the puppies correctly, gotten dressed and feel perfectly ready on her look for the day’s schedule. Her hair is put up in a tight bun, her hair still wet, and her face looks fresh without heavy make-up. Wearing a gray oversize t-shirt and distressed black skinny jeans, Hannah grabs her things (jacket and bag; the bag filled with things she always need) and head downstairs with the puppies. Hearing everyone else being in the kitchen, talking, Hannah heads inside the office with her things.

She sees that they have been in there, probably playing on Carolina’s guitars, but Hannah doesn’t care as she puts her things on her desk and look at the things she is going to do today. With a pen she crosses over that she has been on a run, showered and packed for the day.

“Hannah!” Carolina’s whining is heard, followed by a bark from Ryo.

Hannah rolls her eyes. Carolina is the only member who can’t take care of the pets; she is just excited to hold the leash at times – they kind of mentioned it lightly on their visit for Weekly IDOL. Carolina’s voice gets closer and louder when calling for her again and Hannah peeks out from the room to let Carolina see her. “What?”

“Could you tell the puppies to leave? They are in the way… And Ryo is barking,” Carolina is pouting.

“They just want to greet them,” Hannah mutters but she walks with Carolina back to the kitchen. Smiling shyly, she gets in the focus in the crowded kitchen. It is a good thing the kitchen is so big; the camera staff can stay on the other side of the kitchen table and the whole floor is free for the guests to walk when looking around.

“Oh, Hannah,” Kang Ho Dong steps forward to shake her hand friendly while Hannah awkwardly greets them.

She doesn’t say much when picking Michin up in her arms and moving her hand for Ryo to come along when she gets out of the kitchen to let them film alone; Ryo never has trouble to listen to Hannah, so she picked Michin up as he is the one not always listening. But how is she supposed to keep them away when she is going on her schedule? Maybe Julia will come back soon and take over. It is a good thing Ace doesn’t care at all about them; their cat is lying in Maria’s bed, cuddling in some puffy sweater Maria has given to him. Hannah takes the puppies to the office, bringing a toy she found by the stairs to easily have them entertained.

While waiting for her manager to come pick her up, Hannah goes through the script for today’s filming, sitting on the floor in the office to play with the puppies at the same time. Her black skinny jeans are not made to play with puppies… It is good these two dog-breeds don’t shed much.

 

Manager Lee is smiling when he is driving Hannah to the set. She has gotten so nervous since she left the apartment; eating breakfast at the saloon she could barely swallow and she has been drinking more water than usually due to dry mouth. Even the make-up artists had been talking to her about the drama since they noticed how nervous she was. Hannah looks good now. She has her hair and make-up done, but her eyes are terrified when the car stops outside where they will be filming.

She is not ready for this.

But she is ready for this; Hannah knows she can’t be more ready than now. She knows her character and she has met the cast, the directors are all very nice to her and she looks forward to act for a drama. If she wasn’t a singer with 5 Pieces, she would do more acting because so far she has had a blast. If she could pull off acting in Japan back in 2009 when she couldn’t even act or speak the language; she can do anything. That is a positive mind and a rare mind for Hannah; but she is just excited to act. Well, at this very moment she is just nervous and terrified; the first day, the first scene. Depending on how this day turns out Hannah can’t decide if she can look forward to this drama-filming. What if it goes bad? Maybe she makes a bad impression, maybe she can’t act the way they want? Oh the terror…

With a smile, Hannah begins to greet people right away. Nervous or not; politeness goes always first. A staff was expecting them and shows them where they will film and the room used as a resting room, but without stepping in that room they continue to go greet the directors and just talk about when the filming will begin and such.

“Oh, Miss Hannah,” film director Hong Wan Young shines brightly when seeing the blonde girl. He doesn’t get up from his chair but he reaches out a hand to shake both Manager Lee and Hannah’s hands, smiling at them both. He looks the same as the previous times she has seen him; a cap on his head is covering his thick hair and he has a long-sleeve t-shirt with a dark gray knit vest over. He always wear a vest, and the two most recent times Hannah has seen him he has been wearing the same cap as well – just an old cap with some baseball team name on it.

Director Hong asks if she has slept well and then if she is ready to impress them; his brightness makes Hannah nervous as he seems to have high expectations on her. He also goes through with them about everything they need to know about the first filming they will do, and when that is done Hannah gets to go with the drama stylist Kang Min Na to get dressed for the filming and when she arrives on the actual set where they will go through the scene, her cheeks get all rosy by the handsome actor who is there.

Lee Joon Hyuk has acted in previous SBS dramas such as City Hunter, I Am legend and Three Brothers, and he is the tall and handsome main actor in this new drama. Hannah bows the moment she sees him, but to her surprise the actor tries to dance a part of [Daze] funnily, which amuses everyone around them and he walks up to her with a handsome smile after making everyone laugh.

“Aah, it will be so much fun working together,” Lee Joon Hyuk smiles handsomely when shaking Hannah’s hand, “it is your first day today, isn’t it?”

Hannah nods, knowing she looks nervous and she isn’t really sure what to say to him. They have met before – oh please they have been on script-readings – but now it is the real deal, and he seem really comfortable. Most of them have actually been filming for a few days, but because Hannah will make her first appearance at the end of the first episode (she has only one scene in the first episode), she begins filming later.

“It will go well. I have worked with Director Hong before and he more than gladly would help if you have any questions during filming,” Lee Joon Hyuk assures her when the director makes his entrance.

The first scene is quite simple for Hannah; she is just walking through a corridor. Lee Joon Hyuk is an agent working in the building and they are filming for episode two when Hannah’s character makes her first appearances, and this is supposed to be his first time seeing her and they will just pass by each other after that he has been arguing with the boss that Hannah is about to meet. But still, walking isn’t that simple.

Hannah’s character is quite a fashionista, which is probably Hannah’s personal biggest challenge – the drama stylist was eager on her toes when she was letting Hannah try on the different outfits the other week, amazed by each outfit they tried on for the character. The washed skinny jeans she is wearing now are gorgeous and along with the highest platform ankle boots in black her legs looks much longer than what they actually are. To that she is wearing a double-ed chiffon-back vest, a black top underneath and a belt along the best that the stylist was very specific with. It reminds a little of the vests and jackets Hannah used to wear during [Black & White] promotions, especially with a belt that shows off her body-shape. The long blonde hair is styled to lie down her right shoulder elegantly and she is holding a purse in her hand that only fits the sponsored cell phone she is using.

Walking in those high heels is no worry for Hannah; she has been an idol for five years, she is used to high heels, but to repeat and repeat and repeat a “y” and “elegant” walk is something she actually has practiced for, just because she knew they would focus on her first appearance a lot because of her figure.

The first hour working at the set goes great. They make Hannah laugh and feel comfortable even if she is shy when the cameras aren’t rolling, and then she works her off when filming (she do work her for the cameras, doing exactly what the director wants). Between each scene, they take a picture, which makes Hannah laugh. She takes a picture with Lee Joon Hyuk, awkwardly standing with his hand politely on her back for the picture and also a picture with the “agent boss” played by actress Oh Seung Eun. She is lovely and adorable!

It’s clearly to say that Hannah’s terrifying moments before arriving on set was of course silly, because she has so much fun during the scenes today, meeting a few of her co-workers and joining a drama-family.

 

After the last scene today, all of the “agents” who will have a fighting scene during tomorrow’s filming go to the academy where they have been learning combat and they go through what they need to know tomorrow. And that, Hannah promises, is a lot of fun. She has met the beautiful actress Shin Min Ah earlier during combat practice, but this time Hannah is practicing with the male actors and she is amazed to see them work.

Hannah had so much fun today. It has been a great time in front of the camera and she doesn’t think she has been that bad as an actress; she is actually quite impressed with herself after getting praise by Oh Seung Eun when the two of them were in the boss’ office to act out Hannah’s character starting to work there, and Hannah was supposed to be the confident foreigner who speaks fluently Korean and she really had to be confident, y, elegant and a young woman. It was really fun! Hannah did well… She thinks that at least.

And to finish their day, they went out to eat some food just a few in the crew. Hannah has a blast there as well when talking about her previous time working in a drama, and as she is in this drama just as much the rookie and youngest as she was in the last one, she compare on that last year for Midnight Dream she was always told that the youngest pays for meals and such, while here now during dinner they had been talking about the oldest paying. No one around the table wants Hannah to pay, and a part of her thinks it has something to do with that those she is eating with today are all over 30 years old and last year she was with those around her own age – including FT Island’s Honggi who was kind of a leader at that time, as he fooled around with everyone the most.

A good reason to why Hannah didn’t hesitate to come along to the late dinner is because Jonghyun had called her earlier and cancelled their plans for tonight. Whenever thinking about him she pouts; Jonghyun had to go to the studio for some new song recording, and it could take all night. She had looked forward to meet him tonight, hoping they get time later this week…

But Hannah has a good time getting to know her new co-workers for the drama instead, which is always good since they will work together for two-three months on this drama. And tomorrow she will act with JYJ’s Jaejoong for the first time; nerve-wracking!

In the car on the way back to the apartment, Hannah gives Emelia a call. Her friend will be in Japan until they are going to the Philippines in the weekend for their concert, but the whole group is heading to Japan tomorrow in the evening for a photo shoot; Hannah had still promised to call Emelia when her schedule had ended. Manager Lee is focusing on his driving while Emelia is talking about her day.

Minhwan sends his greetings again,” Emelia says on the phone, and then she chuckles at some noise in the background.

Emelia’s schedule has also ended and she is enjoying a few drinks with the members of FT Island. She has already given the phone to Honggi once, just for Honggi to talk gibberish in Japanese and ask if she wants to do a drama with him again. Emelia had taken back the phone after that to keep telling Hannah about her day, and not until she has walked to the bathroom to be left alone (the boys were surely loud in the background) and ask Hannah about her day.

“I learned a lot of things today; and the others are really nice to me,” Hannah dreams away when telling her friend. “You know Lee Joon Hyuk, right? He is really funny! He kept making me laugh all day and he kept talking about what a big fan he is of 5 Pieces… He even danced to our song! And when all of our schedules had ended, we went out to eat just a few of us, and they said they were surprised by me today!”

You went out to eat afterwards? Wait, you are not with Jonghyun now?

“Jonghyun? No. He cancelled on me,” Hannah pouts and gives a whine by the memory returning to her, “In the last minute, he told me we can try meeting later in the week…”

Ha-ha,” Emelia gives a laugh, and then apologizes for laughing. “But it’s quite funny actually.

“What’s fun about it?” Hannah grimaces, not close to understand what’s funny.

Emelia stops laughing abruptly, and then clears . “I’m not sure,” she admits and Hannah rolls her eyes.

“You’re mean,” she pouts.

Have you met Jaejoong yet then? I can’t believe you two are going to play lovers… I’m still quite ignoring the imagination of that. And what has Jonghyun said about it? What about kissing scenes? Oh, I can imagine myself do that…

“Emelia!” Hannah whines with her whole body. “You start to sound like Maria when you do that.”

Yuck.

Hannah giggles. “I actually asked if there will be any kissing scenes, but there won’t be anyone for me. When I explained the scenes for Jonghyun, he sounded quite okay with it…”

What kind of scenes did you explain then? Oh what I would do to have seen his face when you told him everything …

“It’s nothing serious,” Hannah pouts. She is glad her members (especially Maria and Emelia) are so excited for Hannah to act with Jaejoong (to be honest, they are huge fans, even after knowing DBSK’s five members for some years) and Maria too was daydreaming about what kind of scenes they might do. Hannah is happy to say that it is more about eye contacts and simple things like link arms and brief skin contact. She is not sure she will do it well, but since it is acting she is sure she can do better than if it wasn’t acting. And this is Kim Jaejoong – he is handsome and charming and a beautiful man and what woman would not want to do any kind of scene with him?

Hannah talks with Emelia all the way to the apartment, even up the elevator. At that time Emelia asks what the other ladies are up to, and Hannah feel a little proud that she had contacted the ladies during the dinner so she can answer this question.

“Carolina said she is relaxing with some members from SNSD; she said she will be back soon though. Julia went on some night snack chase for Maria, while Maria is supposed to be in the bath or something – she really likes the Jacuzzi, Emelia,” Hannah tells her with a soft smile, stepping out of the elevator and up to the door. “Are you staying out for long?”

No, I think we are going back soon,” Emelia answers with a tired yawn. She is sitting with FT Island again; Hannah can actually hear them have a conversation about what is better – Korean beer or Japanese beer. Hannah opens the door while shaking her head, and when she steps inside the hall she can hear music playing in the living-room, making her smile wider.

“Emelia, I’m home now,” Hannah is rounding up on the phone when taking off her shoes and Ryo comes running in the hall with his tail waving to show he is happy to see her. “Yes, I promise to tell her to not bathe away her skin. Goodnight, Emelia.”

Finishing her call, Hannah picks Ryo up in her arms, kissing him and in her baby voice asking if it is Maria playing the soft music, walking inside the living-room where the music comes from. She is in a good mood even if she can’t meet Jonghyun; her day has gone perfectly fine and she did not give or get bad feelings with anyone on set, which is what she has worried about. But she has only met a few so far, it is only first day, but she looks forward to what will happen tomorrow with the second day.

Maria is lying in the sofa with Ace in her arms, the leader completely drained on energy it looks like. She is sleeping, Michin is even lying below the sofa, also sleeping and Hannah puts down Ryo in case he wants to lie down again too. Maria can sleep if she wants, Hannah thinks; she deserves it after being in the practice-room all day, working on her solo album. Quietly Hannah leaves them downstairs when walking up the stairs, wanting to change into more comfortable clothes than the black skinny jeans (the oversize t-shirt is alright though) and after that she can maybe go read through tomorrow’s script a little more or write on her computer or something while waiting for Maria to wake up or someone else to come home. She can’t wait to tell her ladies about her day; the first drama filming day. She is curious to know more details about Maria’s dance practice too – more than what she was told through text messages during the day – and she is also curious how the rest of the day went for Carolina and Julia filming Barefoot Friends.

It is quiet upstairs, you can hear the soft music from the floor below but she takes extra notice of how empty it is now when she is so worked up about her day and wanting to talk to her ladies.

Reaching the door to her bedroom she frowns a bit when seeing through the gap under the door a low shimmering light even if the lamps are turned off. She pushes the door open a bit, taking only a foot inside before stopping because the light from the corridor has shined up her bed when she opened the door and what she sees was not there when she left this morning.

There are red rose petals spread out over her bed, even on the floor there are a few and in the whole room there are candles lightening dimly up the place. Hannah’s heart is racing.

Maria is sleeping downstairs; is she toying with her? Could Carolina have been here with the members of SNSD? – She can clearly understand the prank if SNSD is here.

“Maria!” Hannah calls when leaning out her room, sighing when she puts her bag in the room, frowning when seeing something more on the bed. She doesn’t like pranks. Slowly she walks inside, feeling prepared if someone jumps out, and she reaches the bed to see that it is a note lying on her bed, and her frown becomes a grimace when reading what it says; “turn around”.
