Chapter 21: Good Mornight!
I looked at him and it was Mark.
“Why?” I said.
Mark looked at Taehyung. “Can I borrow her for a bit?”
“Oh, it’s fine. We’re just talking.” Taehyung said.
Mark pulled me.
“Is there something wrong? Or do you want to tell something?” I asked him.
Mark is acting kinda weird today.
“I’m hungry. Let’s eat.” he said.
“Is that all?” I asked.
He nodded, “Yes”
Mark is really kinda weird today. I don’t know why. Oh well. I accompanied Mark in the food stall here and we ate some foods there. After eating, we went back to the dorms and rested.
Finally, I can feel my bed. Wooh! I’m soooo tired today!
1am the next day…
*knock knock*
Is someone knocking?
*knock knock*
I opened my eyes and looked at my phone. It’s 1am and someone is knocking. Can’t he know that everyone else is sleeping?
*knock knock*
Fine. I’m going out.
I rose up my bed and fixed myself first before going out. I opened the door.
“What do you—Oh, there’s no one?” I said.
I looked at my left. There’s no one. Then I looked at my right.
“Mark hyung?” I said.
He suddenly looked.
“Did I interrupt your sleep?” he asked.
“Kinda. But what’s the problem? It’s 1am and you’re still here wide awake.” I said.
“I can’t sleep.” he said.
“Do you need someone to talk to?” I asked.
He nodded to me.
“Since I’ll not be able to return to my sleep…”
“I’m very sorry for interrupting your sleep. You may return now.” he said.
“No. I won’t be able to sleep again. I have sleeping disorders. Haha. Plus, you need someone to talk to and I think it’s now my time to listen.” I said.
I went out of our dorm.
“So, where do you want to go?” I asked.
“Backstage?” he said.
“Backstage will definitely be fine.” I said.
We started walking until I realized, I was wearing shorts.
“Uh-oh.” I said.
Mark looked at me, “Why?”
“Just wait for a minute. I just need to go back to the dorm.” I said.
I immediately ran to our dorm and I immediately put my jogging pants on. After that, I went back to where I left Mark.
“I’m back. Sorry.” I said.
“Uh, so you changed clothes?” he asked.
“I really don’t wear shorts when going outside. I’m not comfortable with it. I prefer to wear pants or skirts as long as it’s not that short.” I said.
“So you’re kinda conservative.” he said.
“Haha. Now you know another thing about me.” I said.
He smiled at me.
Ugh. That smile always kills me. My heart started to beat fast again.
“So if I were to buy you clothes, I won’t buy you short clothes. I’ll always buy long clothes.” he said then he laughed.
“Yah, that’s not what I meant. What I mean is that, I don’t usually wear clothes that will let other people see my body. I don’t need clothes that are too long. ‘Too much always kills’ so I just want the normal ones.” I said.
We arrived at the backstage where he first saw me cry.
“I can still remember the moment when you first saw me cry.” I said. “Yah, why can’t sleep by the way? Is there something wrong?”
He sat down to the same place where he sat when I cried.
“I just can’t sleep. I’m feeling nervous about what is going to happen today, on our first day of shooting.” he said.
Mark is feeling nervous? O.o
“You’re feeling nervous too?” I said.
He nodded, “I don’t know. But I really feel uneasy. It’s just that may be I don’t know how to act?”
“You don’t know how to act? Oh come on.” I said as I come near him to cheer him up.
“So what do you when you sing on a music video? Isn’t that acting too?”
He looked at me.
“Yah. While making ‘A’ story, the short film, I did a lot of mistake and my line was just like, ‘A’ let’s go. And I did it for 5 or more times. Plus being in music video is different. I only need to show my face there. There’s no need for scripts. What if I forget my line?” he said.
“Then improvise.” I said. “Most actors/actresses don’t usually say what’s on the script. There may be part that what they said is really what is written on the script but there are parts too that, they improvise.”
“What do you mean?”
“What I mean is that, as long as you know what is happening on the scenes, you’ll be able to say things. Uhm, have you watched ‘Skip Beat’?” I asked.
“I’ve heard of it but I haven’t watched it.”
“There’s no more time to watch that series but it only shows there that you should be filled by the character.” I said.
“Filled by the character?” he asked.
“Uhm, have you read about your character in Dream High? What does it says about?” I asked.
“I am going to play the role of Han Sol who’s something like…” he paused.
“Like?” I asked.
“He’s like someone who is a little mysterious and a quiet type of person. He doesn’t like to mingle with people. He was just forced to study there until he fell in love with you.” he said then he looked at me.
“Somewhat like JB’s character before in Dream High 2?” I asked.
“Somewhat like that. But Han Sol is not famous.” he said.
What should I say to him so he will boost his confidence? Someone who is kinda mysterious and was forced to study something he didn’t like. Think Rhianne. Think.
O.o
“I knew a person like that.” I said.
“You know a person like that? Who?” he asked.
I stood up and went near the curtain. I hid there then I jumped out.
“Me.” I said.
He laughed for a bit then, “You?” he said.
I nodded. “Yes. That was me when I was on my college years.” I said.
He looked so surprised with that. Why? Don’t I look quiet and mysterious?
“Before, I took an entrance exam on the best university in our country. I was hoping that I’ll pass the exam and be able to take music or film. Then the results came out. The good news is that I passed. And the bad news is…”
“There’s a bad news?” he asked. I nodded.
“The bad news is that I was not able to reach the cut-off grade on the course I’m applying to. So I was transferred to another course, Statistics.”
“Statistics? It’s too far from music or film.” he said.
“Yeah, I know. On that very moment, I don’t know if I’m going to be happy with it. I thank God that I passed the entrance exam. I mean, 70,000 students took the exam and only 12,000 were chosen and I’m lucky to be one of those 12,000 students. But, I don’t want to take the course.”
“So what did you do?” he asked.
“Me? My parents wanted me to continue that course because they say that after graduating, I’ll be able to find a good job and have a good salary. Since I love them, I chose to follow them.” I said. “Like in your character, I was forced to attend that school. I’m a very quiet person, to be honest. That’s why I don’t have many friends in our school. So… the only thing I can advise you about your character is that imagine you’re in a situation you don’t like.”
He looked up like he was thinking.
“Example, you were forced to marry someone.” I said.
“But marrying is not yet in my plans.” he said.
“Okay, so let’s just change it. You were forced to be in a relationship with someone.” I said.
“Like example, I was forced to be in a relationship with Yerin but all I want is to be with you.” he said.
“Yeah.” I said.
Wait a minute what did he say?
Buffering… -_-
“Yah. What did you say?” I asked.
“I didn’t say anything.” Mark said while he was pretending that he did not say something.
I came near him.
“Yah, you said something.” I said.
I was about to catch him when I slipped.
*aaaaaah*
I closed my eyes. Oh Lord, am I dead already? Why can’t I feel any pain?
“Rhianne-a, are you alright?”
No, I’m not yet dead. I’m still alive. I opened my eyes seeing Mark’s face so close to me. I think his face is like centimeters away from my face. We looked at each other for so long. Then I realized that he was holding my back supporting me not to fall.
I immediately stood up then bumped at his head.
“Awwww. My head.” I said while touching my head. “Yah, are you fine? I’m sorry.” I came near him
He looked at me. Oh my gosh, that 70 degree look. Oh my gosh, I’m gonna die.
I gave him a pout look.
“Does it hurt?” I said as I was trying to reach his head. “Aish, why do you have to be so tall?”
He smiled at me and lowered down a little. “My head hurts. There’s only one thing that will make it heal.”
“What? I’ll do it.” I said.
“Promise?” he said.
“Yeah! Promise! Even if our neighbors’ cockroaches die.”
He laughed at what I said.
“Kiss it.”
My eyes started to open very wide. He is asking me to kiss his forehead?
“What? You said you’re going to do it.” he teased me. “Aish. You don’t know how to take promises seriously.”
He then stood up properly and pretending to be mad.
“Yah, lower down faster. I’ll kiss it.” I said.
He smiled then he lowered down. I was about to kiss his forehead when…
*mwah*
He kissed me on my cheeks.
I put my hands on my cheeks. I was shocked. Then suddenly, I realized, yeah.
He kissed my cheeks. I looked at him.
“Yah. Why did you do that?” I said.
“You don’t like it? Well then I’m going to get it back.” then he kissed me again.
“Yah.” I said.
Then he smiled.
“Ah jinjja. You’re really something.” I said.
I was about to get him when he ran immediately. He loves to leave me. -_-
Then I went back to the dorms alone. Suddenly, I saw Mark in front of our door.
“Yah!” I said.
He smiled then he came near me. He lowered down a bit and whispered,
“Good mornight!”
