Chapter Text
She was one of the first cast members to arrive.
Dressed in plain brown poloshirt and denim pants with her hair in a messy ponytail, she bowed towards the writers, directors, and other crew members that were already there before heading to her designated seat. To her left were two empty seats and placed there are pieces of papers with the names Jung Kyung Ho and Yoo Yeon Seok.
'So it's them I'll be sitting next to.' She thought to herself before turning to her script.
Suddenly a cheerful voice could be heard from the door.
"Annyeonghaseyo!"
She turned to see none other than Mr. Yoo Yeon Seok greeting everyone with his bright smile as he went towards his seat.

He was already sitting in his chair when he turned to his right to see her. He quickly stretched out his hand and greeted her.
"Annyeonghaseyo!" He smiled. She shook his hand and greeted him back, "Annyeonghaseyo, sunbaenim."
"You're Ms. Shin Hyun Been, right?" He asked though he didn't knew why he saw a faint surprised expression in her eyes when he did.
"Ah, yeh." She replied simply while smiling.
"I'm Yoo Yeon Seok." He introduces himself.
"Neh." She bowed. "I've been a fan of yours, sunbaenim." She replied shyly.
"Ah, really? But I'm the one who's been a fan of yours too." He grinned. "I've watched some of your work. You're a really talented actress." He complimented. It was true, he's seen some, if not majority of the films she was in.

"I hope we can get along and work well together." He smiled again, a contagious one as she finds herself smiling at him too whilst nodding.
It was a small talk, probably to ease the awkwardness since the seat between them was still unoccupied, but she was thankful for it.
Suddenly, Jung Kyung Ho finally arrived and sat at the empty seat next to her. They greeted each other simply.
Not long after that, the cast and crew were complete and the table read began.
