"Hello, I'm Park Tae, follow me."
I did forgot the visit of the KBS team, since Hyoshin is doing his great return several news programs are interested. However I did not expected to see them coming here. Too much in one day. Being the coordinator of all the shooting is not easy. I am glad I don't have to do this everyday.
"Is it hard?" I hear behind me.
I finished helping KBS team with the installation of their material in the room. Hyoshin was having his last shoot for the magazine.
"It's okay, I'm used to it."
Sweet voice again this sweet voice. I wonder how he's doing everyday. Someone like him would be ask out everyday.
"That....just now..."
He's hesitating, others can see it as a flaw but I think it's good for him to have remorse even though he's not the one responsible.
"Don't do it."
"yes?"
"I am not embarrassed,angry or hurt so you don't have to add something."
And I am really not, he's not the one who made this too me. Sometimes I think he's too good for this business world like his friend. He need to correct some aspects of his behaviour.
"How do you do it?"
"Doing what?"
"This."
He doesn't show it, no he can't show it but I know what is it talking about.
"Human are all predictable"
"Not all of them."
He points his finger to my direction, If he was really able to know me, He would see that I am also predictable like all other humans. Having this strange gift on me doesn't mean I am more special than the others. I just can observe things better than others.
"You should rejoin your friend, Your help is needed."
Hyoshin was trying to find a good pose for the interview.
"I think Yeri can take care of herself"
Yeri? Is she really his friend?
"I was talking about your friend."
I point my finger to Hyoshin.
"Ah, How did you know it?"
"You don't really try to hide it."
I saw earlier that he did not have a good expression when Yeri is here, even during the gathering last time we could feel the lack of interest he had for her.
At least someone else can see my vision of her.
"Tei it's done." Says one of my colleagues
"Ok let's do it."
"How was the photoshoot?"
The photoshoot went on smoothly and I can't be more than happy for my friend. I know he was really nervous for today.
"Nervous at first but we can say that Bell really helped me to get through this."
"She's really adorable."
"Where were you ?"
"I was with Tei"
"Oh!!!!!!!!"
I don't like his expression since I know exactly what he means.
"Don't! I was just worried about what happened earlier."
And I worried for nothing.
"And?"
"She told me to not think about it."
"She seems easygoing."
"And straightforward."
Her exchange with Yeri comes to my mind.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing,what do you want to do now?"
"I ask the photographer if they wanted to have a gathering after the shoot."
"Did he say yes?"
"Find a good restaurant for tonight."
"Why didn't you go with them?"
I am watching videos on my uncle's computer in his house. The idea of this gathering didn't appeal to me. Since I know the outcome I didn't force myself to go with them.
"I can't force myself to spend time with someone I don't like."
"And why are you not in your house?"
"You'll see in a few hours."
This man will always give me a headache.
"It's really hard to understand you."
"I don't really try"
"What?"
"To be understood by others."
It's pointless
"Call me if you need company."
"Have fun and don't annoy her too much."
"I will try."
"And why is she not here?"
"She has still other stuff to do tonight."
I was a little expectant of tonight but I see she slipped away quickly.
Always surprising.
"Now I understand her behaviour." Yeri says
"What do you mean?"
"When you are workaholic, your behaviour become weird and strange."
She starts to attack her now, and in her own territory. She still doesn't know how to suppress herself.
"No, Tei is just too serious when she's working maybe this is why you have this impression but she's really good."
Too good for you Yeri.
"How long do you know her?"
"It's been 10 years now."
"Wow, you're really close then."
"Too much sometimes."
What does he mean?
"I mean this is because of me she's here in South Korea."
"Is it not too late?"
"Not for me."
I am on the phone with my brother who is in America. And when he calls it's always for a location scouting.
"Did you see it?"
"I have just opened it. Do I really have to watch it now?"
I am watching the mails he sent me. Several emails containing videos.
"Are you busy?" He asks
"Tired, but explain to me."
"It's a video from the latest musical."
This is why the costume are so extravagant.
"And?."
"I have the project to export it in Korea."
Already, as I know it's just been 1 month that the musical has been played in America.
"So?"
"Can you give me an objective opinion on it."
An opinion? I am great fan of musical but I am more interested by the process than by the show.
"Don't you have someone else to do it in your office?"
"I have but none of them are in Korea right now."
Of course.
"Ok I suppose that I will spend my time outside."
At least I will have something to do the next days.
"I will send you the list."
"Ok Have a nice day."
"Good night."
"He's really heavy."
The end of the gathering is unexpected.Our Hyung drinks too much and talks too much.
"Tell me something I don't know." Hyoshin says.
"Do you have his key?"
Hyoshin search in every pockets of his clothes.
"Don't you have it with you?"
"Don't tell me I have to look for it?"
"I think we will have to wake up his wife."
I think she's the last person I want to see tonight.
"Oh my wife is here? Did she come back? I will introduce you to her...
He starts to talk again, since he's moving a lot we are not able to keep him in a stable position.
"I don't think it's a good moment to be introduced to your wife.
"Oh here she is....
A familiar face is standing in front of the door.
"You came earlier than expected." She says letting us go through the entrance.
"Tei...why....?"
I am in shock to really see her in the house. Is it true? Is it her?
Because of my thoughts I didn't notice that we are already in the living room.
"You can take him upstairs..."
We follow her upstairs and come in the bedroom. Taking a glance at her I see that she's already in her pyjama and seems familiar with the house. Is she living here?
"Oh...our Tei is here, my family is here.." Our Hyung says.
We put him on the bed, because of the alcohol he doesn't seem ready to go to bed. Looking at Tei she sighs silently observing the scene before us.
"Thank you." Tei says.
"He didn't drink too much...."Hyoshin starts
Hyung starts jumping on the bed. I don't know how the night will end.
"This...."
"Lying will get you anywhere." She says.
She's right.
"I am so sorry."
And I really are.
"Don't be, I was expected it."
"Is it not the first time?" Hyoshin asks.
"It's always like that, don't worry this is a soft reaction."
I look again at Hyung still jumping on the bed. This is a really bad drunk habit.
"You should go" Tei says pointing at the door.
"And again sorry for the inconvenience. "
This was a really bad end for our party.
"Did you sleep well?"
My uncle has just woken up from his sleep. I am in the dining room fixing the breakfast.
"How did I get here?"
"No comment" I say drinking my tea.
"Was it that bad?"
"I think your liver want to cure the hangover."
"Did you cook something?"
He goes to the kitchen and look at what I cooked.
"Sit and eat."
He obeys very well, and starts digging on the soup.
"What is the plan today?"
"We have to go buy the material for future shooting?"
After a meticulous examination I saw that several cameras were not good. And if I want my uncle to keep doing his job we don't have other solution.
"Will there be another?"
"In the future."
"What is this?" He says pointing at the soup.
"Hangover soup, ah don't forget to call your friends they have been worried since they left earlier."
Their reaction of his drunk habits were hilarious, my uncle is really not predictable when he's drunk. But jumping in his bed it's a habitual behaviour so I was not worried.
"One second." He says disappearing with his phone in the living room.
"Don't you need to go shopping?" Jiyoung says getting on the car.
"Later, I have to go to my house before, and you?"
I think my uncle still need rest after his exhausting day yesterday.
Observing Jiyoung I see that his complexion is good today.
"What?"
"I can see you had a good night yesterday."
"I ate, drank and annoyed some faces."
"I knew it."
"How?"
"She was not with them so I supposed she was busy somewhere else."
What did he do to her?
"Overall...It was fun."
"But?"
"Your spirit was there too."
My spirit?
"I am not dead yet."
"Not in their minds."
"hey..."
"They talked a lot about you."
"Don't tell me..."
"Yes them."
Keeping my distance was a good idea.
"Wow I am sure she was not happy to have her spotlight stolen, I am glad I was not there."
I hope my uncle did not reveal too much.
"Why? going to gathering, making friends,socializing with others are a good thing."
"Not with everyone."
"Why don't you like them?"
"We don't go well together."
And it's true.
"I would have said otherwise"
"Not talking with them during the shooting would be weird."
I mean Jinyoung did a photoshoot few days ago, I could not treat him as a ghost.
"Are you not too weird now."
"Quiet."
"Jiyoung-ah"Are you busy today?" I ask him out of the escalator.
Why do you call him everytime?
Did Someone speak?
"Why?"
"I have to go see a play.
No chance! He doesn't like play.
How do you know it?
Okay do I talk to myself? I don't think I am hearing my own thoughts.
"It would be interesting but....
"You can't come?"
Let him alone!!!
Okay now I know I am not the one thinking like that.
"Why?"
"I have to see someone tonight."
"Who is it?"
Everyone except you don't insist.
I start to feel insulted.
"Someone."
"Okay, next time I hope you come with me."
Don't count on it.
I turn around no one except me and Jiyoung on the floor. I begin to be paranoid, where does this voice come from? I can't imagine everything. By my answer and those of Jiyoung I know someone was seeing and listening to our conversation.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes, see you"
"Bye."
Don't come near my lover!!!!!
This starts to scare me.
