Defining the Relationship
Summer Night's Dream‘Cut, that’s a wrap!’ the director yelled.
Shin Hye bowed to the crew to thank them for their hard work. She let out an exhale while blowing air up to her forehead, lightly ruffling her loose bangs. She has been filming her new film for the last ten hours and was more than ready to go home and lay in her comfortable bath tab filled with warm water and lavender scented bubbles.
Bling.....bling.....
The loud ringtone cut through the silent set, instantly drawing glances from the crew to her bag. Shin Hye smacked her forehead and silently cursed at herself for being so absentminded. She quickly ran towards her bag to shut off her phone in respect to the crew. The director caught her worried face and gave her a warm smile while making an ok sign with his right hand hinting to her that it was ok to pick up the call. She nodded sheepishly and mouthed a thank you, she felt blessed that she was working with such an understanding and nice director, if it was anybody else they would have yelled at her for disturbing the filming.
‘Yoboseyo’ she picked up the call with an annoyed tone without looking at the caller ID.
‘Wae? Why do you greet me with a yoboseyo? There’s no way you don’t know that I’m calling you’
‘Wae? I greet everyone with a yoboseyo.’
‘But I’m different. I’m not everyone’
‘Chinca?! Last I checked, you have two arms, two legs, two eyes and a beating heart. Your features sound like a normal person, unless you’re hiding something I don’t know to make you an alien from a different planet.’
‘Aish! There’s no winning with you’ he gave up, either luck never played on his side or he is horrible at arguments. It was most likely both.
'Oppa'
‘Wae? Oppa? Are you still there?’
‘I’m more than here. I’ve been waiting outside your filming studio for the last hour. Are you almost ready? We’re going to miss the party!’
'Party?'
‘Woo Bin’s birthday party at his house’
‘Aish! I forgot. All this double tagging between filming, commercial shoots and school is really giving me temporary amnesia. I’m becoming more and more forgetful by the day, sooner or later it’s going to be by the hour then by the minute. Aiya…oppa, we just wrapped up let me bid farewell to the crew and I’ll be out. Gwamo’ without waiting for his response, Shin Hye ended the call.
Aish this girlfriend of mine, always worrying about work. I will need to have a serious talk with her later tonight about work life balance, more like work and Min Ho balance. We’ve been back from Paris a couple months now and I’ve only seen her 3 times and each time has been brief, it was like a hit and run. If I can’t be the first priority than I should at least be the second priority. How on earth did I end up as the fifth priority on her checklist? How did family, school, filming, commercials come before me?! Good job Min Ho! And now you’re sitting here in your cold car waiting for her like a whipped boyfriend, man, how did the tables turn?
‘Wae?!’ Shin Hye waved her hand in front of Min Ho’s face.
‘Yah!’ Min Ho jumped from his seat in shock. He swore only a couple of seconds had passed when she hung up on him.
‘Earth to oppa! What were you thinking about?’ she tilted her head and gave a quizzical look.
‘Shin Hye you scared me! Try not to be a ghost next time you enter my car, arasso.’
‘I called you not once but twice’ she made a peace sign with her right hand and stuck in his face ‘next time you wait for me try not to be in deep thought or you’ll get wrinkles faster than me’
‘Aish, there you go again. C
