A/N: Early update again. You like? Hahaha.

Ji Seung Hoon never experienced this in his entire career. He doesn't understand it at all. How can an actress not deliver such lines properly? It's been 30 minutes since he asks Lee Joo Yeon to internalized and think about how to deliver those lines with emotion.

Suddenly, Dara arrived on the set. She just got out of a meeting when Chae Rin calls her about the situation. She approaches Seung Hoon.

"Ji PD-nim, is everything okay?" she asks.

"No. It's a disaster! And I don't understand why. I thought she's a versatile actress? Why she can't deliver this line properly?!" he hissed.

"Which line?"

"On Scene 31," Seung Hoon said. Dara picks up the script and checks it. She reads it and understands. It's the scene where the lead female character rejects the lead male character. She smiles at Seung Hoon. "I'll talk to her and help her."

"Please do. Time is ticking." Seung Hoon said. Dara left Seung Hoon and looks for Joo Yeon. She found her on the set where she's still reading the script. Not too far from her is Ji Yong who's also internalizing his lines.

"Lee Joo Yeon-ssi?" she calls her name. Joo Yeon looks at her and smiles. "Writer Park," Joo Yeon greets her. Dara approaches her and sat beside her.

"Are you okay? I heard you're having a hard time on this scene." Dara said. Joo Yeon sighs. "I am. I feel embarrassed because I'm delaying the production. Ji PD was so mad at me a while ago." she paused. "I mean, this is a great scene and I know this will mark as one of the important scenes this drama but I don't know what emotion I will give on this. As crazy as it looks, I'm too happy with my love life now for this kind of scene." she gave her an apologetic smile.

Dara smiles and nodded. "I get it. Park Min Ah's character is really complicated. She's torn between her feelings with Mr. Jang and what she feels towards Song Jae Sung. You see, in this scene, she already likes Jae Sung but she's still attached to Mr. Jang even though he let go of her for the sake of his wife. And Jae Sung being hopelessly romantic, she knows that whatever she does will break him. So, she wanted to end their connection is the less painful way possible." she paused. "Do you want me to help you on how to deliver your lines? I mean, this is just a suggestion. You can change it according to what's more comfortable for you."

"Ohh! Yes, please. It will be a big help." she said. Then she looks at Ji Yong. "How about you do it with Ji Yong-ssi so he will also know the proper emotion for the role?"

"What?" Dara was shocked.

"Ji Yong-ssi, come. Writer Park will deliver my lines with you so we can see what proper emotion we should do with this scene." Joo Yeon said. Ji Yong sighs and approaches them. Dara feels like she's trapped but she must not show that she's uncomfortable. Ji Seung Hoon came to the set at that moment. Joo Yeon and Dara stood up and Joo Yeon went on the side to watch them. The other staff watches too. Chae Rin decided to video it so she can show it to Joo Yeon for review. Dara faces Ji Yong.

"Are you really sure you're doing this?" Ji Yong asks in a bored tone.

"Yes. For the drama's sake." Dara said. She put down the script on the sofa.

"You're not going to read the lines?" he asks. Dara smiles at him. "I wrote those words. I know it very well. You know the required action on this scene, right?"

"You're right, Writer Park," he said amusingly.

"Okay. Let's start with your line." Dara said. Ji Yong nodded. Ji Yong took a deep breath while Dara relaxes her arms. Then they look at each other.

"You were Mr. Jang's lover," he said.

"I don't have time for this, Jae Sung," she said and tries to turn her back on him but Ji Yong holds her arm and forced her to face him again. "I don't care if you don't. What I want to know is why you are still holding on to him where he already let go of you?"

Dara pulls her arm off his hold "It's none of your business."

"It is my business because I'm in love with you!" he yells at her. "I love you, Min Ah. And I know that you have feelings for me too but you're stopping yourself to fall for me. Why? Why are you stopping yourself to be loved by a person who can give his whole heart to you!"

"Because his love is the only thing I know!" Dara said in a loud but heartbreaking way. "I love him. He might be far away now, with his wife on his side, but he's here." she pats the middle of her chest. "He's here inside my heart. His love is the only thing I know. And he leaving me doesn't change the fact that I love him."

"Min Ah-yah, he is someone's husband! He's a family man! Why are you devaluing yourself by loving him?" Ji Yong said in a pleading voice. She can almost see the pain in his eyes.

"He's there when I almost got when he first meets me. He's the only person who believes in me when my parents disowned me when I decided to do fashion design instead of being a doctor. He made me feel his equal even our status are complicated. He loved me on all those times we were together." she said in a hoarse voice, that it sounded like she's about to cry. "Tell me, Jae Sung. Was it too much for me to hold on to the only person who valued me as a person? Was it too much to wait? Was it too much to hope that he will choose me someday? Was it too much for me to keep on loving him?"

Ji Yong was shocked when tears fall from Dara's eyes.

"Min Ah-yah."

"You said that you're in love with me, but are you? Do you really love me? Or you're just curious about the woman who lives in the apartment facing yours?" she said in a stern voice. She wipes her tears and looks straight to him. "Don't mistake lust into love. I have no time for your petty game," she said. Her tone is like a cold-hearted person. Suddenly, a loud round of applause pulls Ji Yong and Dara back to reality. Joo Yeon and Ji Seung Hoon approach them.

"Wow! Writer Park, I didn't know that you can act!" Joo Yeon said. Chae Rin and Jennie approach them too, both smiling broadly and looks like they are about to fangirl over her. Jennie is carrying a box of tissue and show it to Dara. "Ms. Park, tissue.". She gets a few piles of tissue and wipes her tears away. "Thank you, Jennie."

"You're not just a good writer. You're also can act. You really are a Jack of all trades, Writer Park. Any plans on acting? I would love to be the director of your first acting job," Seung Hoon said. Dara smiles at him and shook her head. Seung Hoon looks at Joo Yeon "Did you catch up with her?"

Joo Yeon nodded her head. "Yes, PD-nim"

Chae Rin butts in "Lee Joo Yeon-ssi, I recorded it. If you want to review it, I can share the video with you." she said.

"Oh. That's perfect. Send it to me." Joo Yeon said. She excused herself and Chae Rin and Jennie follow her. Seung Hoon asks the staff to ready the set in 20 minutes and he went back to the director's chair. Dara looks at Ji Yong. He looked shocked.

"You did great. Your emotion is on-point." Dara compliments him.

"Ahh... Yes. Thank you." he said. "Dara-yah."

"Hmm?"

"Have you decided yet?" he asks. Dara knows what he means. It's been a month already when she told him that she needs time to think about it.

"Would it be okay with you if we talk in the Dong Mansion? Neither your place, my place or any public places are proper to have a conversation," she said.

Ji Yong agrees. "I'm fine with that. Message me whenever is it," he said. She nodded. "I will. Excuse me," she said and she walks away from him.

Ji Yong remembers the words she let go of the dialogue a while ago.

'Was it too much for me to hold on to the only person who valued me as a person? Was it too much to wait? Was it too much to hope that he will choose me someday? Was it too much for me to keep on loving him?'

Maybe Dara wrote those words back then when he left her because when she said those words a while ago, it pierced his heart so deep that he can feel the pain in his chest.

"No." Seon Woong said.

"Oppa." Dara pleaded.

"Why do you even want to talk to him? And what's there to talk about?" he asks his sister as they are having that conversation while he's checking the edited videos for the variety show he's directing.

"I want this to be done once and for all. If I still don't talk to Ji Yong-ssi, he will not stop bothering me. I want to give him the chance to talk then get over with our past." she explains. Seon Woong continues to watch the video on the screen and write down some changes he wants.

"I even suggest that I want us to talk in your home, Oppa. And he agrees."

Seon Woong looks at Dara. "Yah! Are you crazy? I don't want that man in your life, how can you expect me to welcome him at my own home?!"

Dara shrugs. "Okay. Then, we'll just go to my place. Or better yet, his place."

Seon Woong glares at him. "Can I strangle you?"

"Oppa, please. I want to get over this. We're just going to talk. I had no plans on dating him again. I just want a proper closure." she paused. "Please."

Seon Woong sighs and looks back to the screen. "Fine. Do it as soon as possible."

Dara smiles "Thank you, Oppa." Seon Woong nodded. "Go now. I have to finish this." Dara just nodded and left Seon Woong. Seon Woong hopes that after they talk, Ji Yong won't bother his sister anymore.

Dara and Seung Hyun had dinner in a Mexican restaurant in Itaewon that night.

"Good?" Seung Hyun asks her as he watches her enjoy her chicken enchiladas. Dara nodded and sipped her beer. "This is so delicious. I never tried Mexican food before."

"I'm glad you love it," he said as he scoops a spoonful of his brisket enchiladas.

"By the way, I heard something," he said.
