“Do you have your documents?”
"Yes, big sis, how many times are you going to ask me that?” I rolled my eyes as if she could see me.
“Alright, good, please don't forget to tell them my name,” she reminded.
I was preparing for a movie audition. I came to Korea not only to escape my miseries but also with the
My heart was beating in my chest as I watched the lady approach the stage. I started encouraging myself to focus on locating my parents instead of wasting time here.My eyes didn't leave the lady's figure as she took the mic and showed them her talent. But like other contestants, she only managed to say a word as the judges raised their rating cards, and it was zero. This proved there was no chance for me, the lady came running off the stage.“I thought he liked me,” she said as she ran past me. I turned to leave when I heard one of the judges call for me.
“Jun, she's opening her eyes,” I heard a manly voice say as I struggled to open my eyes. By my surroundings, I quickly recognized that I was in the hospital.“Wh-who are you?” I asked as I struggled and sat up.“Please be careful.” His voice held so much concern that I glanced at the man who rushed to my side and took my hands into his.“I am glad you're okay,” he said, and I shook my head in confusion
“Jun?” “Jessica?” We were both shocked to see each other. “I thought I was meeting the female lead of the upcoming movie, have you concluded yet?” He asked and gestured for me to have a seat.“I'm the female lead,” I said and sat down across from him as I looked around. “Are you Minjun?”“Yes, well, I guess luck is on our side because, with this, it will be believable. But tell me, how did you convince the judges?” He asked as his hands played with the pencil in his hands. I didn't respond as my eyes caught sight of the frame of his picture on the wall which said, ‘CEO MR. MINJUN YANG’, it was clear he was the CEO of this company.“You're the CEO of this company?”“Yes.”“You act and manage a company?” I know I was asking too much, but I wanted to be sure.“Yes, let's just say acting is my passion and the company is my responsibility,” he responded with a warm smile, and I nodded. “You have much to gain from this deal, considering you want to pursue your acting career, having a fathe
I closed the door and turned to her. After being chosen that day, I didn't see her again, she was not even among those who were congratulating me.“And you stay in this crap?” She was looking around with judgy eyes.“Excuse me, but who are you?” I asked because I didn't even know her name.“I know you know who I am, I mean, before taking what's rightfully mine, you should have done some research.”“What?” I walked up to her. I knew she wanted the female lead role, but it was given to me now.“Just look at you, how could they choose you over me? I still wonder if the judges were drunk or if you had a one-night stand with Jun.”“I didn't sleep with anyone, I'm talented, and they saw that. Why can't you accept it and move on? You're a famous actress, and I'm sure you will be accepted and given the female lead role anywhere you go,” I advised. I didn't have time for her, as I still had my family to find.“I know, but do you think you can deliver? Do you think you will do better than me?”
“What are you doing here, and how did you find me?” I followed him, and Jade, being Jade, threw himself on the couch.“Is that how you welcome your friends?” He crossed his legs, took the TV remote, and switched between channels.“Jade, what are you doing here?” I asked in a serious tone.“I came to see you, aren't you happy to see me?” He asked, and I shook my head in disbelief. “And of course, since you left, I've been following your sister, and she was kind enough to lead me here,” he said as he stood up and walked to me. “I am hungry,” he added.“Does your uncle know I'm here?” “Uncle no, but I must say your leave left him heartbroken, but that is not why I am here, he shouldn't have married a woman that does not belong to him.”“Why are you here, Jade?” I asked, curious, and followed him to the kitchen, which he figured out on his own.“I am here for, oh, gosh, is this how you eat?” “What the hell are you doing here?” Jade got scared seeing Loren eat, while Loren got angry at h
“I think you have the wrong address,” Jade said, and I don't know what came over me as I decided to watch."No, I'm sure this is the right address, her name is Jessica,” Jun insisted.“There's no one named Jessica here, check the next door, man,” Jade said, trying to close the door, but Jun's hand was in the way."Man, I said...”
We were lost in each other's eyes for a second. I could see him leaning in for a kiss, and I closed my eyes. It's stupid, but I did. The thought of Clinton with Sophia didn't help either until a ball hit my legs. That's when I shot my eyes open, and surprisingly, Jade had his eyes open, staring at me.“Jade..”“I'm sorry, I didn't.”“It's not your fault.” I cut him and bent down to pick up the ball, which was still in b
~KOREA 2021~~JESSICA~“Hello? I'm home,” I said as I entered my apartment and kicked off my shoes, which landed on Jun, but being skilled, he luckily caught them. “At least the karate classes are put to work.”“You gotta stop doing that, what if the kids could be near?” He said and took steps towards me.“Good thing they were not near, where are they?” I asked as I walked past him, straight to the kitchen.“They are in their room, how did it go?” He asked, and I shot him a clueless look. “Your manager told me about it—the shoot with Jeeps.” He sounded uncomfortable.“Oh yeah, it was alright. I didn't like most of the pictures, but we managed to get two or three for the cover,” I said as I started making a sandwich.“Dinner will be ready in a few minutes, why don't you freshen up? I'm sure by the time you finish, I will also be done.”“Can I have the sandwich first? I'm so hungry,” I begged. He was against unhealthy eating, which reminded me of Clinton.“No unhealthy food, a proper mea
