There was no question of spark. Sparks flew and no one noticed, except for them. They knew by themselves that there was something there. There was gentle yet covert flirting whenever they talked during breaks. They had not spent much time together, even in sets, as he did not have much part in the drama, but whenever they met, there was this unusual yet adorable tension between them, which was most probably invisible to others. 

For her, it was surreal. She had seen his dramas before and had admired him. He was cute, lovable and charming. The way he talked with everyone on the set was admirable. He was a friend to everyone, and she knew she was one of those friends as well. Yet, she knows inside her heart, she wants more attention from him, not just limiting to a friend. She wants to be noticed by him in a different light, but did not know how she could do it. She does not think she is desperate but she knows it would be lovely if he could be her date. And not just for a day or two, but for may be months and even years. 

“Oh my!” She thought to herself “Am I obsessed about him? I mean I do not know him well. He could be a different person altogether” She kept ruminating. 

He, on the other hand, likes her. He has been noticing her for days now. And he knows she doesn’t know about his stares. He finds her funny, clumsy, adorable and y at the same time, and he knows she doesn’t know those about herself. He is not the one to jump in right away, but he knows he is going to find ways to get to know her. He may look like a flirt to her, as he gives time to everyone around, but he knows only she had his attention. And he knows, she is pretty oblivious to it. 

“Let’s see how this goes for some time, and then only, I will ask her out.” He thinks to himself.

On the last day of shooting, everyone from the cast and crew gathered for dinner and drinks. The second season of the drama had finally come to an end. After few rounds of drinks, some of the members left; most of them remained for more rounds. At one table, there were Eunji and Shi Yoon with other cast members and few crew members. They were talking about blind dates and other relationship stuff. 

“I am open to blind dates. I have not tried yet, but why not, right?” He answered with a sparkle in his eyes.

“He must be a playboy type” Eunji thought to herself. She felt a little disheartened, and it was instantly reflected on her face. 

He noticed it right away. With his eyes fixed on her,

“But it would be even better if she is someone I am acquainted with or have known for a while.”

Eunji looked up and met his eyes. He was smiling to her. She smiled back in reflex, but was conflicted inside what that smile meant. 

…………………

Finally, it was time to part ways, as everybody was leaving for home after last round of drinks. 

Eunji was composed, as always, even after a lot of drinks.
