It's been one hour since she started swirling around the high bookshelves, but she was unable to find the book she desired. When her legs felt numb and she was exhausted, she leaned on the side of the bookshelf. A frown appeared on her face, she didn't feel shy to pout, even if people might have been watching. She was too focused and annoyed, because she's never lucky when it's about finding the books she needs. So Eun wanted to ask for help, but everyone seems so busy to find their own, thus she decided to not disturb them.
"I'm so tired", So Eun muttered to herself, frustrated and hopeless. She stared again at her sticky note, to verify the title and the author of the book. She decided to try one more time, with the same result. Annoyed, So Eun was about to give up when she saw a tall and handsome man walking towards her, pushing the book cart. With just one glance, she knew he is one of the librarians. He started to check book IDs one by one and put them back to their place. "Um, excuse me..." So Eun asked while the man was busy tidying the book. He turned around and gazed at her with indifference. "May I ask you a favor? " So Eun continued, trying her best to be friendly with him. The man didn't reply, and kept his calm expression while looking at her. It seemed that he was disinterested. "Um, here! ", she showed him the note. So Eun insisted: "I've been looking for this book for hours, but I can't find it. Please, help me!" The man looked at her note, and quietly continued his activity. "Excuse me; maybe you don't understand Korean language? I'm just asking you for a favor! "So Eun added, irritated by his cold behavior. With his deep and manly voice, he said that others are able to find their book by themselves, annoying her even more. "I know, but I already told you I searched one hour for it and I haven't managed to find it! Can't you even help me? You work there though!" continued So Eun. He coldly explained, avoiding her eyes, that his job isn't finding the books but caring for them. "This book is certainly around this bookshelf and you can fiind it easily while tidying up the books" So Eun added, trying to argue with the handsome librarian. This time, the tall man turned his head and stared blankly at her. Seeing this, So Eun became teary-eyed and let out her frustration: " Please, help me, I really need to find this book, my life is at stake because of it ! If I can't find it, I will be unable to complete my assignment! As a result, I will be expelled from my faculty. I've been so busy doing my part time job while studying to pay my dorm rent! It is my dream to graduate from this faculty, so I can't quit, right? Please! " The librarian responded to So Eun's tears with a cynical smile. On his face, there was no trace of sympathy for her. It seemed like he was mocking her instead. He rubbed salt on her wound with a succinct comment: "Your acting is bad." "What?" she said, in disbelief. She couldn't believe her acting didn't move him. Her pride as an actress was badly hurt by his frank mockery. Their eyes met and she noticed his name tag as well. "Yak! Lee Hyuk Soo-ssi, I'm from acting department, how can you say that my acting is bad?? What does a librarian know about acting?? "Her voice filled the room and captured the attention of the other visitors. Hyuk Soo reacted quickly and covered her mouth with his hand, making So Eun taken aback. The man stood right in front of her and their faces were incredibly close. So Eun pushed away Hyuk Soo's hand and screamed "Yak! Are you crazy?!" but he covered her mouth once again. His low voice followed: "You're the one who is crazy! This is a library!" He made her realize what she did. She looked around, only to find everyone glaring at her. Trying to apologize, she respectfully bowed and became quieter. Hyuk Soo took a book from the bookshelf near So Eun, handed it to her and called her "pabo". He then walked away from her, continuing his job while pushing his book cart. So Eun gazed at the book from her hand, and found out that the book given to her by Hyuk Soo was the one she was searching for all along. She sighed deeply and stared angrily at Hyuk Soo's wide back. Then she whispered to herself "Mwoya (What the heck) ? He knew where it was, but didn't want to tell me? What the heck?!Crazy and cruel man!!", turned around and stared at the bookshelf. So Eun scolded herself as well for not seeing the book, even if it was near her. "After all I'm unlucky and not stupid", she comforted herself. Remembering that Hyuk Soo called her "pabo" she muttered only one word: "Jerk!" The following step was registering the book she borrowed, and she went towards the PC. The concept of the library was developing the independence of the visitor; the people who wanted to borrow books had to do everything by themselves. When she reached the computer, So Eun was surprised to find out that is different from the computers she was accustomed with. It didn't have a keyboard, but she knew there should be a touch screen system. To register the book under her name she had to log in first. So Eun touched the screen, but she was unable to find the screen keyboard. This confused her even more. She looked around for help, but she didn't see someone who seemed to want to give her help. Then she looked in the other direction and saw Hyuk Soo who finished his job and was walking towards her. Seeing him, she pouted, lifted her chin and turned her face. She wasn't willing to ask for help from this cold guy. Hoping that the keyboard will appear and she will be able to leave the library soon, she poked the screen again. She tried many times, but the fortune wasn't on her side. Hyuk Soo saw her, smiled and thought that she's stupid in everything she does. The librarian approached her and touched the shortcut on the bottom right and made it appear. He then cynically asked her "You can do anything by yourself, can't you? ", and So Eun rolled her eyes and said "Get lost "to him. He replied dryly that he "won't stay any longer with a stupid one" and walked away. Furious, So Eun kicked the air after he left her. She wanted to kick and punch him; he was so damn annoying with his handsome face. After that, she prayed that if she were to come back here for another assignment, she won't bump into him again.Three days after she finished the assignment she borrowed the book for, So Eun came back to return it. She went straight to the admin, the person she should hand the book to. The woman is surprised to discover it's the same person she hoped she won't meet again, the jerk. When she saw him lying in his admin chair, she pouted. Hyuk Soo was immersed in reading a book. The glasses he was wearing made him appear more handsome than before. So Eun slowly approached him and put the book on the table, trying to not look at him or act annoyed in front of him. Soon, Hyuk Soo realized that someone came to return a book. He tilted his head, and changed its direction towards the customer. When he saw So Eun in front of him, awkwardly trying to avoid eye contact, he smiled. "I came to return the book I borrowed." So Eun stated. Without saying a word, Hyuk Soo took it, checked the book's ID and So Eun's ID on computer. He quickly resumed his reading after finishing his duty, but So
It was a rainy day. After finishing her classes, So Eun decided to savor a warm coffee from the automated coffee machine to keep her warm. She put some coins and patiently waited for the coffee to be poured. Because it was very hot, So Eun didn’t sip immediately. With the coffee in hand, she approached the glass doors and was mesmerized by the rain. The rain seemed to be one of the things which could soothe her heart, and she loved it. She loved to lose herself in trying to count the raindrops fallen on the window glass, and breathing the ionized air. After rain, everything seems purer, a new, with a fresh smell. Suddenly, the memories of having been asked by Hyuk Soo what is her name clouded her vision, just like the vapors from the coffee she held in her hand steamed the glass doors. “Aish, couldn’t he ask what my name is in a nicer way?” So Eun said to herself, pouting. At the thought of paying him a visit, she grinned widely, but then wondered which kind of excuse
The rehearsal class had just ended at 6 p.m., so Eun was packing her belongings and preparing to leave when her friend approached her and invited her to dinner before she left. So Eun remained silent for a while, contemplating her offering; today she works full-time at Campuss and has no time to do anything else or visit the library. She recalls Hyuk Soo asking her to visit him every day; she isn't willing to go that far, but every time she thinks about it, she can't just refuse. "I apologize... "I'd like to go to the library before going home," Eun said sweetly to her friend. Her friend is perplexed and frowning her brow as she wonders about So Eun. Their tasks were completed, and they didn't need to find any literature for the foreseeable future, but why did So Eun continue to visit the library? She then made a joke to So Eun about how diligent she is. So Eun just laughed awkwardly at her remark. She feels silly for no reason; she is not visiting the library becaus
Kim Young Kwang is a nice person, and Han So Eun naturally grew closer to him after their first meeting. They exchange messages, naturally follow each other on social media, and occasionally comment on each other's posts. So Eun learned from their conversation that Young Kwang and So Eun have similar book tastes. Young Kwang enjoys romance novels as well. He tells So Eun about the most unforgettable story he's ever read, which piques her interest. So he suggests she borrow his novel. They decide to meet at Hyuk Soo's library after So Eun's last class. It was almost dinnertime when she finished her class, and it was pouring outside. So Eun, thankfully, does not forget her umbrella. As a result, she can walk without fear of getting wet. Young Kwang, on the other hand, has just arrived at the library. He drives there and parks his car near the library. Because of the heavy rain, the library is not as crowded as usual. He notices Hyuk Soo, who is preoccupied with his work because his shi
He glanced at his phone, it's almost a time to have a lunch break. It's been 1 day 11 hour and 25 minutes, he counts. She doesn't reply his message. She clearly read it though but why she doesn't reply? It's become a mystery for him. Hyuk Soo open their chat room and type a new message for her. He want to asks her where does she plan to have lunch but he doesn't sent it, in fact he clear the message.He was waiting for her message from yesterday But nothing come from her. Maybe she is busy. She doesn't even come to visit the library too. Is she angry to me? Did I do something that irritated her? He tries to remember their last meeting but he find nothing. He gradually become bored, the library isn't crowded in the lunch break time so he has nothing to do at all while waiting for his time to have lunch.He open his SNS which he never did for a long time just to kill the boredom. He doesn't follow a lot of people so his wall is full of Lee Young Kwang curent and old post. After some min
It's finally weekend. On the weekend So Eun usually get up at noon because she cherish her precious sleeping time so much. But not for today, at the dawn her eyes was widely open, she can't back to sleep anymore. To be honest she didn't get a good sleep at all last night and the culprit of her restless night is no one else but Hyuk Soo. She isn't quite sure if he is really going to fetch her today but yet she is belwidered to thinks what outfit she has to wear to meet him. She decide to get up early, pull out all of her clothes on the bed even when everyone around her is still sleeping. She cant decide about the outfit because she doesn't know where are they going to go, so she thinks to ask him. wasn't ask him about their destination in this early morning would only make him assumed that she is really excited about their date? Are they even going to date? Nope. She throw away her phone on the pillow.In the end she choose a casual yet chic outfit as her concept. She takes her phone a
The primere has finally arrived. It takes place on Saturday night. So Eun dresses in a semi-formal red gown that makes her stand out. She did her hair in a simple chignon with a curly accent. She has to look her best because this is her first time on a primere. She prefers to wear a fabulous red dress because it makes her feel brave and bold. She wants to meet people in Hyuk Soo's world with confidence, without embarrassing the man. She wants to show him that she, too, can enchant people with her charm. So Eun doesn't want to diminish Hyuk Soo's charisma by appearing as an unbeatable partner for him at this important event. Hyuk Soo arrived earlier to fetch So Eun, he dressed in black and wearing a long coat. He is always fashionable, but he is making an effort to look better for this day. At first glance, no one would be able to tell him apart from a top model. With his black coat, Hyuk Soo appears very charismatic and manly. The all-black theme he chose for his outfit g
At A Private Restaurant There is a group of fashionable rich ladies gathering together. They happily chatted and enjoyed the dishes. At this time, Kim Min Hee arrives and greets them. They are her college friends. One of her friends, who works as a lecturer, informed her that their college is going to put on a big drama show. She invited them to come. "Where are you teaching?" the other friend confirms it. "Seoul University," she answered. This fact attracted Min Hee's attention, who was disinterested in all conversation before. She recalled that her brother told her about a place where Soo Hyuk works. It is a library near Seoul University. "When and where will it be held?" Min Hee speaks. Her friend informed her that the drama show is going to be held on December 25th. There are a lot of producers invited to discover new talents. "May I participate?"Min Hee continues. She is more than just welcomed. Her friend even asked her to become the evaluator of the show
Hyuk Soo is surprised to see So Eun standing in front of him. He never imagined meeting that woman at that particular library. He has no idea how to react to her appearance there, so he can only blink his eyes several times. So Eun just stares at him silently, as if she doesn't know what to say. Worse, she doesn't want to see him and despises the fact that she has to meet him now. "Ah... Emm... What a coincidence to meet you here," Hyuk Soo stammered as he stroked his neck. He is extremely nervous and awkward. He makes a concerted effort to greet her, but So Eun remains silent. As a result, the actor concludes that So Eun wishes for him to simply vanish right there and then. Maybe she's still mad at him. "Well, then... Emm... I'm leaving." When Hyuk Soo notices So Eun making an unfriendly gesture, he decides to leave her alone. He doesn't want the woman to be uncomfortable with him. When So Eun finally makes a sound, he turns around and prepares to leave. "Do you mind taki
The drama's filming has concluded, and it has become quite popular with a high rating. So Eun goes to the farewell party with all of the actors and crew to celebrate the success of their drama on the set. The producers ensure that everyone can share a delicious meal. The party went off without a hitch and lasted three hours. After everyone has said their final goodbyes, So Eun returns to her private make-up table to collect her belongings, where she discovers a bouquet of flowers and a letter. 'So, Eun-ah, congratulations on finishing this drama successfully and gaining more recognition from others; I am so proud of you. Maybe we won't see each other after everything is done here, so even if you don't want to hear me out, I decided to tell you here. Please accept my apologies. I sincerely apologize for what I did to you the last time. I wouldn't ask you to forgive me because it's understandable if you hate me for the rest of your life. But, just so you know, I am overjoyed that
So Eun is taken aback when Hyuk Soo unexpectedly kisses her passionately. The actress is attempting to push him away and free herself from his sculpted body. Hyuk Soo keeps trying to kiss her lips and devour her lips wholeheartedly everytime she successfully breaks their kiss briefly. He continues to kiss her until So Eun loses her strength. It's been a while since the actress has been immersed in his passionate kiss. She is finally able to satisfy her longing for his touch. So Eun begins to surrender and allow the tall man to fully explore her lips. She was about to enjoy the kiss when the thought of Junsu entered her mind. So Eun used all of her strength to quickly push Hyuk Soo away. It allows them to finally break their kiss unexpectedly. So Eun's teary eyes as she stared coldly at Hyuk Soo were able to restore the top model and actor's sanity. He took all of his actions rashly and hurt her. It makes Hyuk Soo feel like a complete jerk who takes advantage of her without res
Junsu has been staring blankly with an unreadable expression since So Eun vanished from his sight. He sighs deeply, and all traces of his usual friendly smile have disappeared completely. He recently sent his girlfriend on a business trip with her ex-boyfriend for a week. To be honest, Junsu is terrified of letting So Eun go with Hyuk Soo. Even though they are traveling in a large group, the thought of his girlfriend being involved in the same project as Hyuk Soo makes him nervous. He is well aware that the two ex-lovers may still love each other based on their actions. Junsu is well aware that So Eun hasn't completely moved on from Hyuk Soo before they start their relationship. He felt a heavy burden in his heart when So Eun told him about her new drama project and mentioned Hyuk Soo's name. He has a strong belief that Hyuk Soo will become a stumbling block in their relationship. Even so, he pretends to be okay with it because he doesn't want to be the reason So Eun fail
So Eun wakes up later, when the sun is already high in the sky, and finds herself awake on the couch. It startles the actress because she had overslept on the floor and Hyuk Soo is sleeping on the couch. But when she wakes up, she can't find Hyuk Soo anywhere; it's just her in her room. She looks around and notices a piece of paper with a message written on it on a nearby table. She is familiar with handwriting, Hyuk Soo is the one who writes down the message. She grabs the paper and carefully reads the message he left for her. "I sincerely apologize for bothering you in this way, So Eun-ah... From now on, I will try to be more cautious around you so that I do not bother you or make you feel uncomfortable, and I apologize if I have crossed the line..." That was the note he left for her. So Eun is trying to figure out what he means by that. It appears that Hyuk Soo is simply stating that he will put their past feelings and relationship behind them. He appears to want to f
"Oppa... What exactly are you doing here?" So Eun asks, perplexed, as the man who came to visit her late at night in her room stands silently in front of the door. Hyuk Soo's expression is sad and depressed as he stares at her with puppy eyes. "I miss you," he finally admits. Hyuk Soo forced his way into So Eun's room, closing the door behind him automatically. "What exactly do you mean? It may give everyone the wrong impression of our relationship, so please return to your own room." So Eun is attempting to force Hyuk Soo out of her room by pushing him with her hand, but her hand is stopped in the air between them by the ringing of her cellphone. Her boyfriend has called her. "Please don't answer his call in front of me," Hyuk Soo discovers through her phone screen. He quickly takes her phone away from her hand and rejects Junsu's call. "What exactly are you doing? Please return my phone!" So Eun demands that he return her cellphone. She reached out her hand to reclaim h
The first script reading for the drama begins today, which means So Eun will see Hyuk Soo for the first time since the award ceremony. There are many famous actors and actresses who she has never met in person before attending the script reading. The drama project appears to be successful in large part due to the involvement of many wonderful people. So Eun still can't believe she's one of them. "Lee Hyuk Soo imnida" Hyuk Soo, the male lead character, politely introduces himself in front of everyone. In turn, the remaining actors and actresses introduce themselves. Everyone begins to shake hands with the other members of the set, as well as So Eun. From a close distance, she notices Hyuk Soo walking even closer to her; their direct meeting will begin very soon. So Eun focused her attention on the tall man in front of her. Hyuk Soo extends his hand for a handshake, which she accepts casually."Let's work hard together for this drama, Han So Eun-ssi," he says formally, his vo
So Eun and Junsu are now spending the night together in Junsu's apartment, preparing their special dinner. They celebrate Junsu's previous successful live performance and make up for the time they were apart for a week. So Eun hasn't told Junsu about the drama offer she received. She is still hesitant to accept the offer because she is unsure how she will work with her ex-boyfriend, Lee Hyuk Soo. She has been stealing glances in his direction since they started cooking together. She is still debating whether or not to tell Junsu about the drama. She doesn't want to make the man uncomfortable by bringing up her ex-boyfriend, but she does believe she needs his opinion on whether she should accept the offer or not. So when they start eating, So Eun keeps staring at him and attempting to strike up a conversation, but she is still unable to speak. "Why are you so worried?" Junsu, who notices So Eun acting strangely, can't help but question her. He can tell that his girlfriend is at
Junsu opens his eyes to find the top model and actor staring in their direction while Hyuk Soo is frozen in place. As a man with good manners, he gently pushes So Eun away from him, feeling awkward about being watched while kissing his girlfriend in public. So Eun is looking at Junsu with a puzzled expression when he pushes her and breaks their kiss. That man is staring at someone behind her. She follows her gaze and discovers Hyuk Soo staring at them with a death glare. When she saw him, her face hardened. The top model and actor can't stand still when the couple is staring at him like that. He has the impression that he is an intruder. He approached them slowly and steadily, passing the couple. He continues to walk away without looking back. He has to accept that she now belongs to someone else and not him. When Hyuk Soo walks past her without saying anything or even looking at her, she feels relieved but also burdened. She's relieved that Junsu doesn't need to know about
