"Cut!" Ji PD yells.

Jung Woo walks back to his chair while Mi Suk is having a retouch for her solo shot. They are filming the first episode of the drama. Their first scene is where Jung Woo's character saw Mi Suk for the first time. Jung Woo picks up the tumbler on the table and sips water. Suddenly, Hye Yeon arrived on the set. One of the production staff shows her the sequence of the shoot. Hye Yeon discusses something to that staff then the staff left her. Hye Yeon walks towards Mi Suk to greet her. Mi Suk smiles upon seeing her.

"Ms. Choi, I'm glad you came." Mi Suk said while she's having her make up retouch.

"Yes. I got caught up with traffic." she paused and smiles. "How is the taping so far?" 

"It's awesome, Ms. Choi. I'm really glad we have good weather today." Mi Suk said. Hye Yeon looks up at the sky and smiles. "Yes, it's a lovely shooting day."

From a distance, Jung Woo is admiring Hye Yeon as she smiles while looking up. She looks more relaxed and happy this time. Ji PD approaches Hye Yeon and asks her something about a particular scene. Then, Jung Woo noticed that she coughs and touches her next. He thought that she needed water. He grabs immediately his water tumbler but he was late because Kwon Na Ra immediate gave her a bottle of water. Jung Woo just remains in his place, staring longingly at Hye Yeon.

Lunchtime comes.

Jung Woo and Mi Suk's fans send food trucks for them. One for their lunch meal, one for coffee and tea drinks and one for dessert. They set it up along with some dining tables and chairs in the park near their shooting location. Mi Suk and Jung Woo thanked their fans' generosity. 

Hye Yeon, Na Ra, and So Nyeo sat with their meals in one of the tables near the dessert food truck. They are starting to eat when someone sat across Hye Yeon. When she looks up, it was Jung Woo.

"You wouldn't mind if I sit here, right?" Jung Woo asks. Hye Yeon just gives him a small smile and shrugs. So Nyeo and Na Ra can feel the intensity of the situation right now. Suddenly, So Nyeo's phone rings. It was Yoo An.

"Hello, Oppa. I'm having lunch right now." she looks at Hye Yeon and bows. She stood up and walks away. Na Ra looks at Hye Yeon and Sung Woo. "Ahh... I need to go to the restroom. Excuse me." she also stands up and left them.

Hye Yeon is silently eating while Jung Woo stares at her without even touching his food. For Jung Woo, she's extra pretty that day. She's actively helping the staff in some minor stuff. She also checks the details of their actions.

"Are you just going to stare at me and not eat your lunch?" Hye Yeon said and she looks up at him. Jung Woo smiles at her and picks up his spoon and starts to eat.

"Oh. I remember. I will sing one of the OST of this drama. I wrote and made the melody of this song. Ji PD said that I have to sing this in one of the scenes in episode 8." Jung Woo said.

Hye Yeon thinks about that particular episode. It was a scene where the lead actor will sing in the bar while the lead actress watches. "Hmm. Okay," she said.

"I wrote this song while I'm in America. I want to release it at that time but I also feel that I shouldn't. Thankfully, I didn't. This is the right time to release it." Jung Woo points out.

Hye Yeon just nodded as she continues to eat.

"Hye Yeon-ah." Jung Woo calls her name. She looks at him.

"We really need to talk," he said.

Hye Yeon put down her spoon on her meal. "Not this again."

Jung Woo leans closer to her "Listen to me. I have tons of things to say to you. Just talk to me over dinner or something."

"Jung Woo-yah, I don't want to talk about it. We broke up and I moved on already. I'm happy about where I am now. I appreciate that you feel sorry about what happened to us but let it be. Let's just work peacefully together, hmm?" she asks helplessly.

"But I still love you!" he hissed. "And I want to make up to the pain I cost you. I want you back. I want us back. Please. Talk to me." Jung Woo begs her.

Hye Yeon wants to run away at that time but she doesn't want to make a scene. Then she noticed that Jung Woo leans back and picks up his spoon again. So Nyeo and Na Ra were back and sat to their seats. Na Ra is looking at her phone.

"Omo! Vice President Park is the most eligible bachelor this month on the BusinessBuzz website. Wow. He really looks handsome." Na Ra said in a dreamy voice. She leans close to Hye Yeon and shows the article to her. "Ms. Choi, look." Na Ra gave her phone to Hye Yeon and Hye Yeon read the article about Dong Joon.

Jung Woo keeps his eyes on Hye Yeon who's reading the article. He noticed something on her. She's smiling timidly but in a happy way and her eyes are not bored, blank or sad. He can't help but feel jealous of the way Hye Yeon response in just reading the article about Park Dong Joon.

Hye Yeon returns Na Ra's phone to her. "The article is decent." she smiles.

So Nyeo speaks "Ms. Choi, I haven't seen you hanging out with VP Park this past few days."

Hye Yeon took a sip of her drink before she answers. "Vice President Park is negotiating for a franchise of KEBN's drama to some countries in Asia. When I recently talked to him, he said he had a meeting with some Philippine producers for the rights to televise some of our drama in the Philippines. And I've been busy too." she shrugs.

"Wow, that's a big thing. Exporting our TV drams abroad." Na Ra said.

Hye Yeon nodded. "I hope this drama will be exported too." Then she looks at Jung Woo, who looking at her with a serious face. "Especially that we have Lee Jung Woo-ssi as the main actor." she smiles at him before she continues to eat. Jung Woo silently eats too while Na Ra and So Nyeo talk.

A few days later, Lee Jung Woo had a guesting in an entertainment talk show. The host welcomes him back and asks how is he. They talk about his experience of filming in America.

A moment later, the host continues the interview about his comeback project.

"Your comeback project is a TV drama, right?" the host asks.

"Yes, it is. We already start the shooting a few days ago" Jung Woo answers.

"I see. And this is also a reunion project with Kang Mi Suk."

Jung Woo nodded. "Yes, I'm really happy to work with her, especially having Ji Seung Hoon PD as our director. It's a great honor for me."

"Yes, Ji PD is a really great director. And aside from Kang Mi Suk, this drama is written by the rising writer this year, Choi Hye Yeon-ssi" the host paused. "You and Ms. Choi used to date, right?"

Jug Woo smiles. "Yes."

"Was it awkward to work with her despite your past together?" the host asks.

"Honestly, I'm really happy to be able to work with her. She's a beautiful and talented woman. It's one of her great qualities. I watched 'Captivated by You' while I'm in America. It's a masterpiece. The storyline is not the usual one and its heartfelt. It's one of the reasons why I wanted to be the part of this drama because I know Hye Yeon gives her heart on this story and I want to give my best to give justice to the role" Jung Woo points out.

"Have you and Ms. Choi in good terms?" the host asks.

"We're okay. She's professional and I'm okay with that."

The host smiles at Jung Woo "I can sense some bitterness to your answer, Jung Woo-ssi."

Jung Woo laughs "No, no, you misunderstand me. It's nothing, really."

"Jung Woo-ssi, do you still like Ms. Choi?" the host asks.

"Yes, I do," he answers immediately. "Hye Yeon is a very admirable woman. She's kind and very down-to-earth. It's hard to forget someone who means the world to you."

"That's true. But, do you p

I am very happy with this ending. This couple went through so much that they deserved a happy ending. You set it in a very romantic setting too. I loved that they both helped at the restaurant and how he handled unwanted attention- Wow!
I am just very pleased with your story and I really liked that it was non-Kpop. In my mind I can picture it as a drama, I would watch it for sure. Thank you again!!!
