My Own Korean Drama
Chapter 10 - Run!
It's exhausting but it's exciting
Run!
People were running around in padding jackets, none of them dared to take off those thick clothes. The Han River tonight looks cold, either because it's still winter or because of my mood. I inhale the aroma of coffee from inside my cup. I should have gone to sleep but my head was still filled with our conversation earlier. I don't know if my actions tell Min-wook right or wrong. There was a sense of relief that Min-wook finally found out about Auriga, and me but on the other hand my heart was uneasy if only he could not accept that. I really don't want to lose Min-wook.
I looked back at the cup in front of me. Coffee has always been my friend at night. Caffeine has no effect on me. I stared at the teapot that was almost a toilet. I poured the contents back into my cup until the contents ran out. I straightened my back. My stomach is starting to hurt. I frowned slightly feeling the nausea that attacked. I got up from the chair and walked to the sofa. My mind has no intention of sleeping. My phone is back vibrating. When I saw Min-wook's name, I sat down.
“Min-wook?” slowly say.
“I'm in the underground parking lot.” The voice at the end spoke. I was really surprised. I didn't think he would come this late. I immediately turned off the call and picked up the padding on the walk in closet. I walked out of the room while holding my stomach. It's really painful. I got down to the lower parking lot using the elevator. I leaned against the cold wall waiting for this iron thing to get to the bottom floor. When the elevator doors opened my eyes began to blur. I tried to reach the glass door in front of me with a shock. My legs are getting weak, and ready to fall. I was prepared to feel the coldness of the floor, and the pain of the impact. I closed my eyes, ready, but the cold floor did not come, and there was a warm feeling holding me. I opened my eyes, and my gaze went straight to the eyes of someone I was worried about earlier. Min-wook is in front of me right now. From his gaze alone I can confirm that there is anger in it, I do deserve to be scolded. I smiled knowing it. This man in front of me has been too patient to face me, let me be scolded this time.
Min-wook returns to the car after buying some medicine for me. His face was the same as before. I can still feel the aura of annoyance, jealousy, and worry mixed in. Min-wook opens the medicine packaging along with the bottled water he bought.
“You're still pissed at me?” I asked while receiving the medicine from his hands.
“I'm not upset,” replied Min-wook who contrasts with his face and voice intonation. Not cold intonation full of anger. His intonation was like a sulking child. I chuckled slowly and then put the medicine in my mouth. Min-wook gives the bottle to my hand.
“Why did you come to my apartment?” I asked after I swallowed water.
“Ah, that's because... um..” Min-wook looking for a reason. I took his hand and held the big hand.
“Sometimes there are times when we have a fight, say if you don't like it,” I said as I looked at my hand holding Min-wook's hand.
“See, I'm upset, I want to run to the guy, and teach him,” said Min-wook who feels adorable to me.
“We should be back soon, you have a schedule tomorrow morning right?”
“What if I don't want to go back? I still want to be with Nuna,”
“What if we just run away? I still want to be with you, too,”
Don't think weird about what happened to us last night. Min-wook drove me back to the apartment after I took my medicine. We kept our routine as usual. I'm now working on the next scene. Speaking of Min-wook, I remembered what he said last night. After the two of us got to the apartment parking lot, I opened my seat belt and kissed Min-wook on the cheek at a glance.
“Nuna!” Call Min-wook when I close the door.
“Ya?” I asked in the downgraded car window.
“If you want to run, tell me, let's run together,” Min-wook said solemnly. I just sniffed and smiled with mystery. I waved at him and then went into my apartment.
Now I think back to his words. Would I dare to take that offer one day? Facing bullets seems easier than having to escape from the company. I don't want to see Su Ryeon Unnie disappointed. My name was called back to return to the set immediately. I stuck myself in the glass again. This time my clothes are more open than ever. I stroked my left chest. Makeup is so great, any scar will be covered. There was supposed to be a gunshot wound six years ago on my left chest. I smiled at the girl in front of me. I saw the reflection of my makeup artist in the mirror. There was someone next to my reflection in the glass, the girl was Gu Boy's main makeup assistant. He made me make it today. I turned around then bowed in gratitude before finally leaving the waiting room.
After filming was over, all the crew and cast bowed to each other in greeting. If I usually go straight home, today everyone gathers at a dining venue to celebrate the last day of filming. After this I had a week off before finally getting back in front of the camera. In front of me was an eomuk tang that was still emitting steam. The smell was so good that it piqued my appetite. My memory returned when for the first time I ate this Korean speciality food. I put off eating to take a photo.

Can we eat this on a date next week?
I remember you every time I enjoyed the eomuk tang.
Park Min - wook
I'll enjoy it a lot.
Next monday
Nuna's House
I'm not patient
“What is Min-wook ssi?” Whisper Ji Ah who is sitting next to me. I nodded in embarrassment like a teenage girl. I don't know why I'm still like that, everyone's been watching me when Min-wook and I were both mature.
“You'll meet again next Monday?” Ask Ji Ah again. I nodded my head again. Ji Ah just kept quiet while smiling mischievously. I'm looking down embarrassed.
“By the way I didn't see the makeup assistant who was dressing me up earlier,” my words switched the conversation.
“So I heard him talking to PD-nim that he already has an irrevocable promise.” Ji Ah explained. I just nodded in understanding. I really wanted to thank him for covering up my scar.
MY OWN KOREAN DRAMA
Like the stories you hear, all those who work in the Korean entertainment world, we were secretly dating. Find a place that no one else can find. I sat opposite my girlfriend in the living room of my apartment. The winter air that was felt on our skin changed with the warmth of the room heater. Min-wook opens the lid of the container he was carrying. Fragrant broths croak when the lid is open. I took one stab and bit him a little bit. I closed my eyes enjoying the taste of the fish inside. Min-wook looks at me with one corner of his lips pulled.
“Nuna, I will buy the apartment unit next door belonging to Nuna,” said Min-wook who made me stop chewing. I blinked a few times my eyes. Min-wook laughed then took the eomuk tang from my hand.
“Actually I have been able to buy my own apartment since three years ago, it's just that I'm too busy so that apartment will be idle in vain.” Back Min-wook explained.
“So we don't need to date at two in the morning on the Han River?” My toot. Min-wook broke down before finally answering, “we can date in my apartment.”
“What will you do on your birthday?” I asked as the two of us sat on the sofa while enjoying the view of the Han River.
“Now, I have a schedule that day, maybe I will celebrate with Gu Boy again,” Min-wook replied lightly. I just smiled bitterly considering that we really couldn't celebrate a special day together.
“When can we celebrate a special day together?” I was yawning with the winter snow. Min-wook's phone is ringing. My girlfriend took it out of her pants pocket and saw who called her. Lee Jae Eon, Gu Boy's manager. Min-wook gets up from the sofa receiving the call.
I turned to look at the Han River which was starting to be filled with couples enjoying the changing seasons. Some of them started removing the padding jacket and then carrying it in hand. The seasons are changing so fast, I think only yesterday I saw people walking half-run away from the cold air that could make them get the flu. I feel locked up here, I can't run like everyone else.
“I have to go back to dorm soon, there is a briefing for my schedule next month,” said Min-wook when he returned. I nodded and got up from the sofa and drove him to the lower parking lot.
MY OWN KOREAN DRAMA
I woke up to my cell phone ringing. I opened my eyes and grabbed my phone with half-closed eyes. I stared at the name on my phone. This is my manager, Ji Ah. I should be on vacation for another two weeks. Why is Ji Ah calling me so early? Holy hooch! It's still four in the morning! I raised the call.
“Nuna! You haven't seen the news?!” Shouted Ji Ah right in my ear. I didn't answer.
“Dating news with Min-wook has been published by Rispact!” Shriek Ji Ah once again. My eyes opened immediately. So I've been sniffed by Rispact.
“What company already gave clarification?” I panicked half sleepy.
“This morning you have to meet Go PD-nim,” said Ji Ah. I exhaled a rough breath. I had to deal with the company leader for dating. It's a ridiculous thing. I closed my eyes to confirm Ji Ah and then the call was interrupted. Shortly after, my phone went off. Message notifications. I came back to see who sent me this early.
Park Min - wook
Nuna
Is nuna okay?
Christina Mackenzie
Nuna is fine
Park Min - wook
Alright
See you at the company
MY OWN KOREAN DRAMA
Min-wook is also called to meet Go PD-nim. I don't understand why this country is having a problem dating someone. I walked as leisurely as possible towards the floor where Go PD-nim was. My steps stopped when I saw Min-wook who was in the elevator. I stared at him for a moment before entering into this iron chamber.
“I hope this does not affect the performance of Gu Boy,” I said while leaning on his arm.
“Me too, hopefully this does not affect the drama rating of Nuna,” said Min-wook then exhaled violently.
Go PD-nim sat down while reading the file on his desk as we both walked in. After allowing us to sit down, the conversation went straight to the core of us gathering.
“Your date is already a public secret in PE, I guess this shouldn't be a big deal, do you want to respond to this news?” Go PD-nim spoke casually. Everyone in this company knows about us.
“I just want to know who is the person behind all this,” said Min-wook who quite surprised me. Min-wook didn't talk to me about anything.
“Dresser Chris lately,” said the man in front of us firmly.
“The young lady? She looks good.” I was quite surprised by that.
“Someone pays a fine for breach of his contract, it means there is someone behind this all,”
“But who,” I said unconsciously. Min-wook grabs my shoulder embracing me tightly.
“Don't worry, the company will work hard to protect you,” said the company's leader optimistically.
MY OWN KOREAN DRAMA
Now I'm with Min-wook sitting in one of the hidden cafes in Gangnam area. If you hear rumors of entertainment industry workers dating in remote places, it's true, we need privacy. Please understand that. I write this as one representative of many heads. People working in this industry are tired of entertaining so at least let us sit quietly with our loved ones without worrying about the news of romance going down what we have built.
“Nuna wants anything else?” Min-wook asked while holding my hand on the table. The cup containing hot chocolate I haven't touched since, contrasting with Min-wook who lives half. I stared at him for a moment before finally shaking weakly.
“All will be well Nuna,” said Min-wook trying to calm down.
“I don't care if I fall, but you, there are six others who will share your destiny.” I started to open my voice. Gu Boy I've considered my own family. I know how much each of them aspires to be, and right now I could be the reason they fall. Min-wook just fell silent, looking down not answering anything. The atmosphere turned silent for a while.
“Come!” Invite weak. Min-wook looked back at my face not understanding what I meant.
“You word I can invite you to run if I want, can we run now?”
There comes a time when I really want to run away from reality. There were times when I had to actually run, whether it was running towards success or running away from success. For those of you who are tired of running after success, sit down for a while, you need to rest. For those of you who are tired of success, run for a moment, get out of reality. When your heart is fine, go back, face whatever it is with courage.
