"That's a wrap!"
The shooting for another episode of Knowing Brothers has just ended. Today's guest is a very special one. She is a veteran and multi-awarded actress. She starred in many dramas and movies in Korea and even overseas. She was declared by almost every Koreans as the most beautiful celebrity. She was voted by directors, producers, cameramen, makeup artists, reporters and other celebrities as the most beautiful celebrity on-and-off camera. Plastic surgeons all over South Korea voted her as the most beautiful person and claimed that she has the perfect features. She is no other than, Kim Hee-sun.
Her surprise guesting on the show made everyone expects that this episode will reach the 5% mark. As Sangmin mentioned, 'Kim Hee-sun is the star that starstruck other celebrities'. And we have someone who witnessed it first hand, the youngest member of the cast. James even said on the show that he had goosebumps the moment she enters the classroom.
.
.
"Uh.. excuse me Ms. Kim Hee-sun.." James shyly approaches the actress.
"Oh hey James.." Kim Hee-sun warmly smiles at him.
"Uh.. can I ask for favor?.. Can I... uh.. take a photo with you.." he shyly asks,
"Of course!", the actress happily grants his request. After that they chat for little bit until James bids goodbye to her.
.
"Kamshamnida Ms. Kim Hee-sun~ it's really an honor to finally meet you" James politely bows and thank her.
"Haha aigoo~ You're welcome! You are doing great in the show, I hope you will continue that....". Kim Hee-sun says a few words of encouragement to James.
.
.
James head back to his waiting room to get fix his things before he leaves.
"Hey where'd you go?" Kyunghoon asks James, who just enters the room.
"I ask Ms. Kim Hee-sun for a photo, as a remembrance, and then we chat a little bit.." James replied while he went to get his things.
"Why? you're not even posting it in your SNS.." Kyunghoon chuckles.
"What? Last week I posted the photo with Seo Ye-ji. Didn't you see it?" James said to him.
"But you didn't post the one with Han Chae-ah.." Kyunghoon replied.
"She have a boyfriend.. I don't want to be in the middle of something now that rumor with Mina and Me are dating finally died down.." James continue to pack his things while he is having a conversation with Kyunghoon.
Kyunghoon chuckles and asked, "about that, did you guys have a talk about it?"
"Yeah. There wasn't enough evidence to support that we are dating so both of our agencies, uh.. really doesn't give a crap about it.." James explained.
"What about that photo? Isn't that an evidence?.."
"Luckily she posted a photo in her SNS when we are having dinner, and it was the same time where that paparazzi shot was taken. So it helped to quickly dismissed the dating rumor." James explained, ".. you know what hyung, I never imagined that I will be included in a dating rumor.." he chuckles.
"Haha you're happy about that?" Kyunghoon laughs.
"Not really, no. I was happy and very surprised because her fans didn't get mad or something.." James replied.
"Consider yourself lucky, usually fans will react the opposite." Kyunghoon remarked, "Hey, tonight is your first shooting in that drama right?" Kyunghoon asked,
"Yeah.. and I'm very nervous.." James replied,
"Relax, just remember what you learned in the acting classes you took and you'll be fine.." Kyunghoon said to him. "Are you doing a scene with Park Bo-young?" he asked after.
"Not yet hyung. I'm doing a scene with Park Bo-young's parents, in the drama. Then 3 days from now, I will be doing a scene with her.. " James anxiously explains.
"You will probably mess up a couple of takes when you finally doing a scene with her.." Kyunghoon chuckles a bit while teasing him.
"That's what I'm afraid.." James knows that he will surely mess up couple of takes when that time comes.
"So I guess you will not be able to play with us later.." Kyunghoon said to him.
"Yeah, and hyung can you tell Hayoung sorry I won't be able to play again, I promised her last week but I didn't know today is gonna be my first day of filming in the drama.." James ask Kyunghoon for a favor.
"Sure. Only to Hayoung?"
"You mean to Baekhyun hyung and Jungkook? Screw them!" James jokingly said, ".. kidding! it's fine, they already knew.." he added. James is done packing up and ready to go.
"Araseo~ good luck then" Kyunghoon pats James' shoulders.
"Gomawo hyung. Byee" James said goodbye to Kyunghoon and to everyone else in the waiting room.

Meanwhile...
"Unnie.. unnie.. unnie!" Yeri rushed towards their leader.
"Why?"
"Look!" Yeri shows an article in which there's a video included in it. The other members got curious and they gather themselves to see what it is.
The members of Red Velvet started reading the article silently. The title is 'Sign Language Oppa: Kindest Celebrity', the identity of the said celebrity wasn't mentioned in most of the article until the very end. Except for Yeri who already read the article, each of the girls seems to be very curious the further they read the article. Just before the last two paragraphs of the article there was a video recording from a netizen who witnessed everything.
The story in the article happened earlier this morning when a young student girl was seen standing and looking at a nearby food cart in the side of the street. The girl was quiet and it looks like she was hesitating to do something. One person notice her and approaches the girl to check if she was alright because she was just standing for awhile. To the surprise of that concerned person, it turns out the girl was deaf. That person tries to communicate but unfortunately that person doesn't know sign language. It got the attention of the by-standers and some of them tries to help. Then all of a sudden, this celebrity happened to just walking by when he notice the little commotion happening on the side of the street. That celebrity, after realizing what was going, stepped up to help the young girl. Everyone was surprised that the celebrity suddenly communicates with the deaf girl because he happens to know sign language. It turns out, the young girl wants to buy a food in the nearby food cart but she is shy and scared to order because she is deaf. That celebrity helped the young girl to buy the food she wanted and the young celebrity even paid for it.
"That's James!!" Irene quickly recognizes him at the start of the video, even if the angle is still in his side.
"What?... yeah that's James oppa!!" Joy is also surprised to found out that the celebrity the article is referring to is James.
"Wahh Daebak~" Seulgi and Wendy is amazed seeing that James knows sign language.
The video that was posted and now circulating in the internet only captured him already communicating to the young girl. The story further tells everyone that James accompanied the young girl all the way to her school. That story is now rapidly spreading to the internet and because of the praiseful comments about James, the netizens are now calling him 'Sign Language Oppa'.
"That is so heartwarming.." Wendy remarked and all the girls agrees.
After reading the article, Irene can't help herself but to smile.
.
.
.
Couple of hours later..
James is now in the middle of the shooting for the drama Strong Girl Bongsoon. James is playing the role of Dongjin, Bongsoon's cousin. His first scene is when he accompanies his grandmother who is visiting Bongsoon, played by the actress Park Bo-young.
*(for those people who watched the drama, remember the scene where Bongsoon's grandma beat those gang members. That is also where James will first appear in the drama)
Even though he is very nervous, James manage to act well during the scenes he was included. Thanks to the acting lessons given to him by UAA and some acting advices from the Song-Song couple, he manage to perfectly portrayed the role that was given to him. As expected, he is there to be funny as well.
.
After the shoot, James let a big sigh of relief now that it is over, he was fairly satisfied for his acting given it is his first time. Now the real challenge for him will be happening in a couple days, he will now act and do a scene with the main cast. The script was given to him and it was nerve-racking because he will be doing a couple scene with Park Bo-young..
"Holy shit that's a lot of lines..",
James is getting anxious while reading the script. He did not expect that he will be having a lot of line. Looks like he needs to concentrate and prepare for the next filming day.
.
.
.
Later that night..
James is waiting in a bus stop when he receives a call from Irene.
"Hello noona.. you're still awake.." James picks up the call from Irene.
"Yeah, we were watching a movie. How about you, why are you still awake?" Irene asked him.
"uh, well I can't sleep in a bus stop.." James replied,
"Oh.. haha.." Irene laughed for a few seconds, ".. where are you?" she asked,
"hmm not sure what the name of this district.. we just finished filming and I'm going home now, or probably stop by to eat dinner along the way.." James explained.
"It was today? I thought... nevermind, how was it?" Irene completely forgot James' filming was today.
"Good, actually. The directors was satisfied with my acting.." James replied.
"That's great!!.." Irene is happy for him.
James interrupts her. "Not so fast noona, the real challenge is in the next filming day.."
"Why? What do you mean?" she asked,
"Noona, don't tell anyone okay?.. I just got my script and I'm doing a couple of scenes with Park Bo-young, then I have a lot of lines...." James proceeds to explain to Irene why he is feeling anxious about the next filming day.
"Really? Haha you're screwed!" Irene teased him, "I know! Thanks noona.." James just laugh with her.
.
"Anyway, do you think you can come here for awhile?" Irene suddenly asked him. Her members heard what she said and they poke out their heads like meerkats and with a grin in their faces.
"To your dorm? At this hour? Why?" James is surprised and confused on why Irene want him to come over to their dorm.
"I-I have something to give to you.." Irene answered,
"alright... can I ask what is it?" James asked,
"Ani~ it's a surprise.. you will find out.." Irene cutely giggles.
"Araseo~ I'll be on my way.."
"Okay bye.."
.
James then decided to just take a cab so it will be faster. While on the way, James decided to give Song Hye Kyo a call to inform her about the his next parts in the drama. The actress is like a mentor to him, she has been a great help for James' development in acting.
30 minutes later, James arrived at Red Velvet's dorm. He message Irene that he is already in the front door, he doesn't want to use the doorbell because some of the members might be already sleeping since it's already past midnight.
Seconds later the door opens..
"Noona annyeong~" James greets Irene with a smile.
"Come in.." Irene let him in, ".. take off your shoes then put down your bag here and come with me in the kitchen.." Irene gives him instruction.
"Eh?..." James is confused why he needed to do those things, but he did it anyway and follows Irene in the kitchen.
"I cooked some ramyeon, you haven't had dinner yet.." Irene gets a bowl and start pouring ramyeon in it.
"Oh no, noona.. you don't have to.. I can just---"
"Sit down.." Irene cuts him off and firmly instructs him to just take a seat. James just did what Irene told him and didn't say a word. Maybe it's a natural reaction out of fear.
"Here.." Irene puts a bowl of ramyeon in front of him and gives him utensils. ".. if you want more just tell me, there's still some left in the pot.
"K-kamsahmnida noona~~" James shyly thanked her. He is about to take a spoon but he stops.
"What's wrong?" Irene asked,
"Noona.. join me. It's uncomfortable if I'm the only one eating.." James said to her.
"No, that's only for you.." Irene replied.
"Please! I'm not going to eat if you're not going to.." James begs and insists that he will not touch the food if Irene will not join him.
Irene frowns a little and pouts, "Araseo~". She gives up and get a bowl of ramyeon for herself.
.
Irene sits right across of him and the two of them started eating..
"Noona, good thing you guys have this high stool or else you won't be able reach the top of the kitchen counter.." James giggles after playfully teasing her.
"What?! Yah!! I can reach it!!" Irene's temp is rising up.
"Haha just kidding, mianhae.." James apologize but he is still laughing at Irene's reaction, "noona, you are so cute when you are mad.." he remarked.
Irene slowly starting to blush after what James said. She tries to control and stop it..
"Is that why you are always teasing me?" Irene ask him trying to divert the topic.
"Ani.. you are already cute even if I don't tease you.." James casually replied as he was focusing on eating the ramyeon. He doesn't realize it yet the words that is coming from his mouth.
Irene failed and it only makes her blush even more. Good try on her part nonetheless. Because of her flawless and white complexion it will be easier to notice her blushing..
"Uh-hem.. its hot.. its spicy.. " *coughs*, Irene acts like her tongue is burning to excuse herself in order to hide from James that she is blushing.
"I'll get the water.." James tries to offer help but Irene quickly refuses it. "No, I'll get it" Irene swiftly jumped out from her seat and rushed to get water. Irene had her back towards all those time she is trying to cool herself down.
Meanwhile James resume eating until it finally hits him.. "eh? *coughs*" James started choked a little because of the ramyeon and he started coughing. He also starts to blush after realizing the things he just said to Irene.
Irene quickly pours and give him a glass of water.
"You okay?" Irene is concerned,
*coughs* "yeah, spicy~~too hot.." James used the same excuse.
"Here, have some more.." Irene refills the glass with water.
"G-Gomawo~"..
Irene went to get another pitcher of water. While getting it, she saw the wrapper of the ramyeon, it says 'mild spiciness'. She bites her lips and clenched her fist for trying not to laugh and facepalmed herself.
"Here, in case you need more.. water." Irene tries her best to hold it and keep a straight face, but her lips are twitching.
"Oh, okay. Uh... noona this ramyeon is too spicy" James shyly commented.
"Yeah.... it is..." Irene cannot control her lips from twitching so she just bites her lips. She can burst into laughter any moment now. She slightly covers half of her face with her hand.
"Uh.. something wrong noona?" James noticed that Irene seems like she is trying not to laugh.
"Nothing.. nothing. Uh.. hey that's for you." Irene points at the brown paper bag on the other side of the table counter beside James. Diversion successful.
"Oh.. what this for?" James attention completely turns towards the paper bag.
"Just a little present for you.." Irene smilingly said to him.
"A present? what for? it's not my birthday.." James said to her.
"I know.. just open it" Irene got impatient then she reached for the paper bag and gives it to him. James puts down the spoon, wipe his hands and proceed to open the paper bag.
While James is focusing on the paper bag, Irene starts explaining something about the present, "Listen, you probably already have it but this is something special..".
"Wooow~ H-ho..noona, how.. wa..how did you..." James cannot utter the words properly because building up excitement.
"I know you like them, and since they were also at the music shows because they also had their comeback. So I asked them personally to sign this album." Irene gives James the latest album of AKMU, and she asked the brother-sister duo to sign it. They gladly signed it and they even wrote a short message for James. "Yeri helped since she is close friends with Suhyun.." Irene added.
"Wow.." James is reading the short message written in the album, "Chanyuk and Suhyun really wrote this for me?".
"Yes~" Irene is just smiling as she watched James adoring her present. "So, do you like it?" she asks.
"I love it! Thank you so much noona~..." James is really thrilled by Irene's gift.
"I'm glad you like it. Anyway let's eat, the ramyeon is getting cold..", Irene and James resumed eating their ramyeon.
..
..
Several minutes later..
"James, I didn't know you know sign language.." Irene asked him,
"Yeah, let me guess.. you saw the article?" James said to her and Irene just nods. "and I'm guessing you're next question is why do I know sign language?".
Irene giggles and nodded to him again.
"Alright, the reason behind it happens years back." James decided to tell Irene a little more about his past. "I already told you that I didn't finished high school because of financial problems. That is where it all started, well sort of, after I quit school I started to take different kinds of job. Then about a year later, one of my closest friend in grade school who is a half Japanese. He heard that I quit school so he called me to offer help. I rejected the money so instead he offer me to work for his family. I accepted it and went to Japan where I work for him and his family for about 3 years before I went here in South Korea. And part of my job is to take care of my friend's younger sister, who is deaf. Then I started to learn sign language so I can communicate with her".
"I-I didn't know that. So what exactly is your job at your friend's family?" Irene is curious.
"hmm more like a Butler I guess, I'm also the cook and sometimes a driver." James replied, "his family is filthy rich.. F.Y.I. haha" he added.
"Oh, that makes sense." Irene remarked. "So why did you leave? Did something happen between you and your friend?" she asked afterwards.
"No, we're fine. It's just that.. something happens and I decided to left Japan." James' facial expression gradually changed. Irene noticed it so she decided not to get into it, "I see. So are you excited on meeting Park Bo-young?" Irene changed the topic. It was rather successful because James reaction quickly changed as he became anxious again.
..
The two of them talked for another half an hour until James realized what time it is..
"Mianhae, I forgot it is already midnight.." Irene really felt bad that James has to go home very late because of her. She is also concerned for his safety as well.
"It's okay noona, it's not your fault. And again, kamsahamnida~!" James bows to her in a polite manner.
"Yah, I told you, no need to do that. Stop being too respectful and polite.." Irene is trying to pull him up and prevent him from bowing to her again. "You sure you'll be fine? I mean you can sleep here for the night, it's already 2am.." Irene offers as she is worried for his safety.
"Noona no no. Both of us will be in trouble if your manager finds out, especially you. I don't want that.." James quickly rejects her offer.
"I know but.." Irene tries to reason out but James stopped her.
"Noona, I'll be fine.. don't worry" James gives her an assuring smile.
"Araseo~" Irene cutely pouts.
On the inside James is dying seeing how cute Irene is. He opens the door to let himself out before he looses it.
"Alright, I'll be going noona. You should sleep now, it's really late.." James told her.
"Ani~ I will wait for you. I need to make sure you got home safe." Irene said to him.
"Noona no need for you to do that, you need to get as much sleep as possible.." James replied,
"Ani~!"
"But noona--"
"ANI~" Irene cutely frowns as she insists.
"But---"
"AAANIYOOO~!" Irene insists even harder, in which she become cuter and cuter.
James who is already dying and his heart is about to explode can't take it anymore so he just surrenders.. "Araseo~ I will call you immediately once I got home..".
"Okay be safe. Goodnight.." Irene smiles and looks him in the eye.
"Goodnight... noona.." James is getting trapped in Irene's gaze.
It suddenly became quiet as both of them looks in each other's eye. Both are getting hypnotized as if they are falling in the deep abyss inside their beautiful eyes. A few seconds has passed and both of them are still locked into each other's soul piercing gaze. Moments later the two of them starts to slowly moving towards each other, unconsciously pulling themselves closer to each other. If this was a romantic movie, a song being played in a piano will be heard while their faces will move closer.. and closer to each other... until their lips touches...
.
.
.
.
But it's not, both of them snapped back at the same time.
"Uh.. I-Ill get going now.. t-thank you again for the album. Goodnight!" James waves goodbye and started walking away.
"Goodnight.." that was the only word Irene able to say. She watched him walk for a little while before she close and locks the door.
Upon hearing the door shuts from afar.. James let out big sigh while he looked back.
"Ugh! She is so cute, dammit!! I want to hug her!!" James let out his frustration, he really did a good job holding himself back there. "*sighs* woo.. I should visit a doctor to check if my heart can still take it. Lot of things are happening that my heart can barely manage.." James said to himself.
.
.
.
.
Couple of days has passed...
James had just arrived in the set of Strong Girl Bongsoon. They quickly put him in different clothes for the character he is portraying. While the stylist are doing their job to him, James is going over the script to memorize and recalls the things he prepares.
Several minutes later he is ready for the filming. He went to meet the directors to say hi, as well as to the staff and crew. And finally, the moment he has been waiting for... meeting the lead actress, Park Bo-young. The staff calls him and escorted him to meet Park Bo-young.
"Excuse me..." the senior staff approached the actress. James is just right behind the senior staff following her. "Boyoung-ssi... your cousin Dongjin is here.. hehe" the senior staff said to the actress. The actress turns her head towards them and she smiled immediately..
"Omo~" Park Bo-young looked at James and greets him with a smile, "Annyeonghaseyo!" the actress bows to him.
James got startled because the actress bows first, he quickly bows to her as well.. "A-Annyeonghaseyo~"
"I'll let you two get acquainted, you have plenty of time to rehearse while we set everything up.." the senior staff leaves them.
"I'm excited to finally meet you!" Park Bo-young said to him,
"Eh? wait that's my line.." James replied, and that makes Park Bo-young giggling for a few seconds.
"We got excited when we found out that they cast you for the part. I watched your stand up online...." Park Bo-young reveals to him that she has watched his stand up videos online.
James is very much surprised to hear that, and... a bit weird. "another one.. there's already a number of famous celebrity that I met said they are a fan. hmm I wonder who else.... does Park Shin Hye knows me? How about Shin Min Ah and Son Ye Jin? Oh my god, Park Bo-young is so small, she is so cuteee! I wonder who is taller, Irene noona or Park Bo-young?... hmm... what the hell James.." he saying those thing to himself.
"Ohh.. jinjja? Kamsahamnida.." James bows to her, ".. wait... we?" he asked,
"Me, Hyunsik and Jisoo. They also watched your stand up videos.." Park Bo-young explains. ".. especially Jisoo, he is a fan of your show.." the actress added.
"Really? wow.. that makes me... more nervous.." James is being honest, knowing that the lead actors knows who he is only makes him more anxious.
"Haha don't be! Just relax, I know this is your first time acting but don't worry you'll be fine. I heard from the directors and the staff that you did great last time.." Park Bo-young tries to comfort the newbie actor.
..
Park Bo-young and James spend a couple more minutes to get acquainted to each other before they start rehearsing a bit for their scene. Even with comforting words from the lead actress, James' nervousness didn't completely go away. He doesn't want to make mistakes once the camera starts rolling.
..
For their first scene, Bongsoon woke up late and she is in a rush to get to work. Then when she opens the main door hard, not knowing Dongjin is just right there playing with the family pet dog and the result, Dongjin was sent flying across the yard. All because of Bongsoon still can't control her powers..
"Action!"
..
"AHHH!!"
"Dongjin-ah!!" Bongsoon quickly rushed to her cousin who she accidentally sent flying across the yard.
"Dongjin-ah, Dongjin-ah.. are you okay? are you hurt?" Bongsoon is panicking as she checks her cousin to see if there's anything broken.
"aaaggghhhh~~" Dongjin groans in pain.
..
Park Bo-young can't hold it, she burst into laughter because of James' groaning sounds, she finds it really funny.
"Cut!"
"Mianhae.." Park Bo-young is trying to stop herself from laughing. Even the crew finds it funny also.
"Okay, let's take it from where Boyoung-ssi is checking him" the director gives them instruction.
..
Time for take 2.. "Action!"
"Dongjin-ah, Dongjin-ah.. are you okay? are you hurt?"
"aaagggghhhh~~"
"Did I break any--...." Park Bo-young tries to hold it in but burst out laughing again.
"Cut!"
"Was that okay?" James is now also laughing because of Park Bo-young.
"Yes, mianhae.. the sound of your groan is too funny.." Park Bo-young is trying to stop herself from laughing.
"Should I change the way I groan? Haha" James asks, he then tries to groan in other ways. From high pitched to the one like a broken record groaning. It doesn't really help because it makes Park Bo-young laugh even more.
"Haha good job James. Let's take a shot of that different groans, we will just decide on the editing." The director likes what he is seeing.
..
They finally managed to finish that scene on the next take. After that, Park Bo-young heads to another filming location. As for James, he will be staying at the current location because he still need to do a couple of scene with the other cast.
.
.
Hours later, James also head to the next location where he is going to do a scene with the Park Bo-young and Park Hyung-sik. The next location will be in Ainsoft building, Minhyuk's company where Bongsoon is working. Dongjin was asked by Bongsoon's mother to deliver something to Bongsoon.
..
"Uh excuse me, where can I find Do Bongsoon.. " Dongjin is at the receptionist. After the receptionist gives him instructions, Dongjin heads to the floor but before he can go any further someone stopped him. It was Secretary Gong, CEO Minhyuk's secretary. After asking Dongjin a couple of question, Sec. Gong accompany him to the CEO's office, where Bongsoon's desk is also located.
*knock knock*
Dongjin slowly opens the door, "Annyeonghaseyo~" he greets the the CEO Ahn Minhyuk, which is played by the lead actor Park Hyung-sik.
"How can I help you?" Minhyuk asked him.
"I'm looking for Do Bongsoon. I was told she is in this office.." Dongjin replied.
Minhyuk stood up and approaches Dongjin while giving him a suspicious look, "Who are you? Why are you looking for her?" he asked.
"I-I'm her cousin.." Dongjin replied,
"AA-Ahhh.. come in come in.." Minhyuk suddenly become polite to him. "Have a seat.." Minhyuk assist him to sit in the sofa.
"Bongsoon just went to the bathroom. So what is your name?" Minhyuk asked him.
"Dongjin. How about you mister?" Dongjin asked him also.
"I'm Minhyuk.. I'm Bongsoon's boss.." Minhyuk replied.
..
Bongsoon then enters the office and surprised to see her cousin.
"Dongjin-ah!!" Bongsoon is so happy to see her favorite cousin that she is sounding like a dolphin, in a cute way. She quickly hugs him.. then
*cracks*
Bongsoon hugs Dongjin so tight, his back makes a cracking sound
"Wahhh!!" Minhyuk screamed after he heard that cracking sound
"Do-Dongjin-ah.. gwenchana??" Bongsoon is starting to worry. Minhyuk helped Bongsoon to lay carefully Dongjin to the sofa.
"aaaggghhhh..." Dongjin groans in pain.
"gwencha--- pfftt" this time it was Park Hyung-sik who burst into laughter. It was followed by Park Bo-young.
"Come on, not again.." James said and joins the two in laughing. Even the staff and crew still finds it funny after witnessing it earlier that day.
This time, it took them more takes to move on from that scene than what happen earlier because Park Hyung-sik laughs easily.
Apparently James is doing better than everyone expectations, even his. He did so great in the other scenes that the director praised James for doing such a great job at his character after his last scene for today. Park Bo-young and Park Hyung-sik also praised him, both of them are looking forward for a fun scene with him again. He is yet to also do a scene with the other lead actor, Ji Soo.
..
Later that night..
James is currently heading somewhere when he got a call from an unknown number..
"Yeoboseyo?" James answers the call.
"Oppa, it's me.. Hayoung.." it was Apink's Hayoung who is calling him.
"Oh.. Hayoung-ssi.. wait how did you get my number?" James asked her,
"I got it from Heechul oppa.." she answered.
"I see, so why did you call?"
"Oppa are you going to play tonight?" Hayoung asked him,
"Ani~ mianhae.." James apologized.
"hmp! Oppa you said last time that you are going to play this time.." Hayoung is cutely whining on the other side of the call.
"I know, mianhae.. but a close friend of mine suddenly invited me for dinner...." James explained the situation to her. "... but wait, if ever the dinner ends early then I might still be able to catch up with you guys" he taught of an idea.
"And what if it's not?" Hayoung asked him.
".. uh, well.. okay I will treat you something you like.." James answers,
"Ha! Let's eat at that restaurant where you take Mina. The food in the photos looks delicious. No taking back oppa!" Hayoung voice change from being sad to happy.
"I was actually thinking of buying you in-game items, but okay if that's what you want.." James just accept it.
"Okay oppa, save this number, it's my personal. Inform me if you can make it. Byee!"
"Araseo~ byee!" James ended the call.
.
.
Couple of minutes later he finally arrived at the meeting place, a restaurant, an exclusive one. James enters the restaurant to look for the person invited him to dinner. Seconds later he spotted that person and he rushed to that table..
.
.
.
.
"Hyung.. sorry I'm late." James said to that person.
"Hey James! Don't worry it's okay.."
It was Lee Dong-wook, one of the star of the mega-hit drama Goblin. Him and James had previously met, and since then they kept in touch.
"Anyway, this is my personal assistant.." Lee Dong-wook introduce his to James.
"Annyeonghaseyo~" James bows and politely greets her, and she greets him back.
"Just give me a call Dongwook-ssi.. if you guys are done.." the personal says goodbye and leaves the restaurant.
"Uh hyung, why she leave?" James asked the actor,
"Don't worry, she is just going around the area to shop or something to enjoy herself, it's my reward to her." Lee Dong-wook explains,
"that's nice! You are a kind boss hyung haha.." James compliments him.
"Aigoo, it's nothing. So anyway, let's go!" Lee Dong-wook stood up.
"Eh? to where? we are not eating here?" James is confused.
"Upstairs, I have a little surprise for you.." Lee Dong-wook told him.
"huh?.." James looks at him in confusion.
