When It's Time. | SEULRENE

Chapter XIV

When we were at the venue already, I received a lot of signals and nudges from unnie. God!

"Give me your phone." She whispered. I look up to her.

"Why?"

"You've been smiling looking at it for a while now. Everyone's staring at you." I look around and some of the staffs and artists avoided eye contact with me.

"Mianhe" I apologetically smiled at her and slowly give her my phone.

I just got added on the girls' group chat and they've been talking a whole lot, maybe that's the reason I couldn't stop myself.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." A man's voice came in.

He took the seat across me. I eyed him, continuing to apologize to everyone, until our eyes meet. She bowed.

"I'm sorry for the wait." I smiled at him, I can tell he was surprised by it. 

"It's fine." I said before looking back down at the script.

"Since everyone's here now, let's start." The director said.

It took us hours, with breaks of course, before we're actually done for the day.

After the reading I went directly to unnie to ask for my phone. Unnie just shakes her head and sighed.

"I guess this will be a good change." Unnie said to me. "You're finally interacting with everyone."

"Are you telling me that I'm a snob before?" I questioned.

"You're not. You were just expressionless when talking to other people." She said. "Considering this will be your last work, let's make this memorable." I scoff.

"Ooh! You're gonna miss working like this?"

"I will actually, but I love being in the office more. The entertainment industry is a headache, there's so much to control." She said.

"At least you'll miss it."

"How about you?" I smiled and shook my head.

"Not really. No." She laughs.

"You really are crazy for doing this." Maybe I am.

"Irene." Someone spoke behind me. I turn to face the person.

"Suho."

"It's a great pleasure to be working with you on this project." He bowed. I did the same.

"I feel the exact same." He then handed me a paper bag. I look at it.

"It's cookies." I look around and I see others have ones too. So I accepted it.

"Thank you." I said.

"Let's all work well together." He then excuse himself.

"Isn't he part of EXO?" Unnie ask.

"Yes." I said focusing back on my phone, I need to check if Seulgi's home already.

"You trained long in that company. You never bump into each other before?"

"I came to the company when they already debuted. Seulgi. She was able to train with them."

"I thought we're going to silence someone again." I scoff.

"Unnie! You're making it sound like we're out here killing someone who recognizes me from before." I said and look up to her. "Take me home already, my girlfriend is waiting for me."

"Can you lower your voice? Someone might hear you." She called me out. "Let's go." I just smiled and followed her.

We bid goodbyes and say thank you as we leave the place.
