We met again two days after our secret Han River date. I was extremely nervous since the night before. I stayed awake for hours before falling asleep at 4 in the morning. So when I reached the filming location, there were dark circles around my eyes. There goes my effort to look pretty in front of Min Hyuk oppa.

Why do you want to look pretty in front of him, Soo Jung-ah? It’s not like he cares about how you look. Or does he?

Apparently, my dark circles attracted attention from the other actors. Shin Hye unnie immediately asked me whether I was okay.

“f(x) must be working hard right now, preparing for a comeback.” She told me after telling me that I looked tired.
