Loud cheers followed Yujin till she steps into the van that calls for the end of her schedule.

IVE has just finished their filming for their new comeback After Like. All that song does is bring serotonin into everyone's body.

Those that weren't fans became hardcore divers.

However, Yujin was the only one in the van whereas the other members have already left with another.

"Are you sure you wanna do this? It's nearing midnight and you have another schedule tomorrow." The manager worriedly asks, looking through the rear mirror.

Yujin was busy reaching for her long coat at the hind seats.

"It doesn't matter. Go to the location I sent you." Yujin politely smiles while the guy went with it, starting the engine.

"You work too hard. Taking care of the others, making sure they're fine when you don't have time for yourself. And even dating someone secretly. What can you not do?"

Yujin lay back on the warm seat, looking out the tinted window. "I'll do anything as long as I'm alive oppa." she chuckles, reaching for her phone.

"Just make sure there's no one following us." Yujin places her earphones in and shuffled her playlist.




 

"And...cut! Good take. Let's take 10." The director announces, going back to review the scenes.

A girl dressed in traditional hanbok, replicating a majestic princess from the Joseon Dynasty bows slightly before walking across the bridge.

"Minju-ssi, come here for a moment." The director called while she carefully made her way to him.

They monitored her performance as he gave some advice on how to amplify her words and emotions. She nods, willing to take any feedback given to her.

It's her first ever role in an actual drama that consists of many well-known celebrities.

"That's all. You're doing great." The writer gently pats her shoulder, giving her a smile.

Minju voiced her gratitude and went toward her managers who were preparing the place for her to rest.

It's not easy filming at midnight where dark skies are their only audience.

The makeup artists touched up her makeup while she carefully sips on her water. The manager gave her the script for her to revise.

"The next scene would be the last. Hang in there."

Minju nods, reading her script as she gets her hair and makeup done. There was no sitting down since they couldn't afford to mess her outfit up with a shortage of staff at the moment.

A black van pulls up behind the buses, causing rocks to scatter against each other.

Curious, Minju looked over to see who it was since there shouldn't be anyone coming at this time.

The door opens, revealing a tall individual who had a white cap on, a mask, and a long brown coat that covers their body.

Mysterious.

"Who's that?" The manager mutters, going ahead to check for safety purposes but Minju stopped him.

"I know her." she gave an assuring smile.

The manager narrows his eyes. "Minju, I told you—"

"I won't get caught," she promises as the unknown individual makes their way closer to them.

He gave up. "You better not do anything funny that'll cost my job." he jokes and asks the rest of the staff to give the
