Falling For You

Chapter 34

Rian bit her lip as she continued reading through the script. She couldn’t help but sigh a few times, while going through some of the lines. The character – Park Jiyeon was indeed a different one. She had her edges, however she didn’t express herself with words, but rather chose to do it with her expressions and actions. That’s why Rian thought it was worth a shot – trying to get in to the role, audition and see what happens.

She had a notebook on her side and made some notes while reading. It was the first time she was this captivated by a script. Maybe the reason was because she promoted as a solo singer through this time and didn’t have any acting gigs. She suddenly smirked. After picking up her phone she immediately sent a photo of herself, reading the script to Shi Woo and wrote to keep it a secret under it. Then she completely turned it off and focused on reading.

… … …

“Hey! Kim Myungsoo, stop following that girl! I heard her friend committed suicide the other day. Stay away from her!”

Myungsoo sighed as his eyes followed the girl’s body, walking away from him. Then he turned to his friend and punched his shoulder. “She could have heard you! Be more considerate… those things you hear – they are all rumors!”

His friend crossed his arms, already getting offended that Myungsoo was protecting a stranger. “You don’t know if they are rumors or not! One thing I am completely sure is that the chick is completely creepy and weird. I've never heard her mutter a word!”

Myungsoo hit him again. “It's because you already judge her before approaching her the right way. Don’t be such a hypocrite.” He shot a glare at him and turned away from him. However, no matter how many times Myungsoo said similar words no one seemed to care. Everyone saw Park Jiyeon as a complete weirdo, who didn’t speak at all. But none of them knew her at all… even Myungsoo who had his eyes on her, didn’t knew her completely…

… … …

“I'm sure that’s the type that doesn’t approach Jiyeon in public even though he is concerned over her. What a coward!” Rian spoke out loud, taking note of that. If it was Rian she would speak her mind and scold him for being like that… however if she had to think how Park Jiyeon would react – that was a completely different situation.

She put away the script for a moment and closed her eyes. She imagined a big school building, painted in nice colors – showing off the class of the students attending. An even bigger, beautiful garden that makes people feel relaxed. Then she imagined a girl, wearing a school uniform – a checked knee length skirt, black socks that cover her legs, comfortable shoes, a white shirt, black tie and a navy sweater. The girl had long, straight brown hair tied in a low ponytail. She barely had any make up. She didn’t have an expression either. That girl was Park Jiyeon.

When the class finishes, she is the first one who packs her things and leaves the room. Walking down the stairs, going out of the building, then the garden. She hears what everyone talks about her. However she has a poker face on. She calmly takes out her headphones and plays music while walking – isolating the hurtful words, that she doesn’t even think as hurtful.

Then Rian opened her eyes. Getting the pen, she slowly wrote another note on the notebook. “Park Jiyeon will most likely try to understand Myungsoo, because everyone already doesn’t like her… at least he worries over her. maybe she will be thankful… maybe she just doesn’t want to build emotions about people at all… maybe she will ignore him as well.”

Rian pouted and put away the notebook. While writing, more and more options came in mind and that was so frustrating. However through the script she had for the first few episodes, there were no interactions between Park Jiyeon and Myungsoo.

“Maybe I will leave him aside for now… and for some reason, why doesn’t Park Jiyeon feel like the main character, but instead a side one… no matter what, I want to play her!” Rian got up from her seat, packed the notebook, script and her phone and after putting on a jacket, she walked out of her apartment.

Shi Woo chuckled looking at the picture Rian sent him. Even though he knew she wasn’t trying to be cute, in his eyes she looked really adorable the way she took the picture. He couldn’t help but get shaken up from seeing her glittering eyes.

“Seems like you got your daily dose of Rian.” Se Na laughed. They were in the middle of preparing for recording medley of a few songs, however he received a text. From the moment she saw a smile creep on his face, she knew it was Rian who sent him the message. She also smiled, being thankful that Shi Woo finally found peace and happiness.

“Okay! I stop… let's record! We need to get this out by tomorrow, so I will work hard.” Shi Woo said out loudly. He put his phone is his po
