I received my second mission at my own dorm.

Young-Pil came over one week later to hand me my mission. Over the last few weeks, Young-Pil and I had grown an affinity. I always teased him that he looked like Lee Seung-gi, one of the top male actors in the industry. He had a boyish smile and when he smiled, he had a deep dimple on his left cheek. Only on his left cheek. He told me that he tried to make one on his right, but it failed. He was a very humorous lad. I also found out that he was actually only a year older than me. So that made him Young-Pil Oppa. In fact, I soon realised that being twenty-four, was a 'golden' age. I was just the 'right' age, not too old nor too young. Younger stars were cast as child celebrities while older stars were basically the seniors, like Min-ho. Twenty four seemed to be the transition period.

Young-Pil was nice enough to 'pre-warn' me about his coming. Actually, he was supposed to just turn up on Monday morning and film me as whichever state I was in. But that would be totally devastating for my image. Imagine messy hair, pale face with no make-up, bunny PJs, Jeez, that would totally ruin me. Over the last month, Bae had successfully built me an image which was all over in google search. I was the 'sweet, cute, quiet' Shin-Ee. I was amazed that I appeared on Wikipedia as well! That just showed how powerful the Internet was!

So, when the bell rang on Monday, I was ready. But I couldn't be too obvious about it. So, I had on a simple PJ (which I consulted Bae and he gave his consent). I had my hair brushed but let down; at least it wasn't all over the place. I managed to sneak some powder onto my face too. Thanks to Bae's miraculously products, my skin did better. It was more radiant and less porous. These korean facial products really were impressive. But of course, you had to be hardworking about it. I had to spend at least an hour before bed tending to my skin.

I opened the door with a small gap, pretending to be surprised. I was becoming a better actress day by day. A gap wide enough to film part of me. He slipped in the mission card. I read it out loud, as I usually did.

"Today, you will begin your second mission. Hope you enjoyed working in the hospital. Your next mission will take you through the era of time back into the past. You are to report to Director Shin Yong-hwi at XXX location. Filming will start at one today."

I pretended to rub my eyes, still sleepy. I almost yawned but thought better of it.

"I better get ready..." I mumbled and shut the door on Young-Pil. The second time I opened the door to him, he had stopped filming and capped up the lens.

"Good job as usual," he grinned.

"Thanks..." I said. "You want to come in?"

"Are you ready to go or you need more time?"
