Good morning, good morning,

I'm from Miracle Entertainment. With this e-mail, I intend to invite you to cast in the film 'The Dark Prince' adapted from the novel of the same name, on:

Day/date: Monday, March 29, 2021

Hours: 19:00

Place: JCC

I thank you for the attention. We hope to have your arrival.

Although Egon has read the *e-mail* several times, he still does not believe that he received an invitation to play a movie. Seeing the progress he has made since he started his career as a stagram celeb, he thinks he may indeed be quite talented as a celeb. But to play a movie? He was worried that he could not give the best results, even though he was the perfect picture of Egon in the novel 'The Dark Prince.'

"Well..how is this?" Egon hung up his phone and put it on the bed. He sighed in confusion as he rubbed both of his palms on his face.

Not yet had he managed to solve his problem with Mysha, he had already gotten a new problem that forced him to think more.

If Egon was indeed a human who came from the same world as Mysha, perhaps he would not hesitate to take this golden opportunity to become even more famous. Unfortunately, he is not a native here. He did not know when he would return to his place. Even if that time comes and Egon is required to choose, he must choose his place of origin. Because there's something he has to finish.

His burden and responsibility as a prince as well as a royal knight, makes it difficult for him to choose always with Mysha.

"I should have been aware of this before I did that to Mysha" he murmured.

Egon then assumed that Mysha had actually been aware of this first, so Mysha immediately refused and avoided herself. He now understands that the attachment that is established between him and himself, will instead make them both tormented with each other later.

He took a deep breath while stretching his body. ‘Thinks like that it's good to talk about directly,’ thought.

He also looked back at his phone. It had been 15 minutes since she last sent a message to Mysha, but there was no reply.

It was not good if he constantly forced Mysha to speak. He should give him longer. However, seeing the food that he had bought to eat together, Egon again moved from his seat and went out.

'I'll try to talk to him again. If he still avoids me, I better stop bothering him,’

***

"Mysha?" Egon knocked on the door of Mysha's room once more, but there was no answer.

"I want to talk to you for a second. I think we should talk about this all right." Further.

Egon stared at the food that had started to feel cold in his hands. Did he have to eat it himself, like the days before? Or is it better that he hangs it on the door so that Mysha can eat it?

"Git!" Mysha who immediately ran small when the elevator opened, came over to Egon. His breath was breathless as if he had run from a far away place.

"Did you wait long? I was just outside," Egon had not had time to ask her how she was, Mysha had already worried about Egon who seemed to still be faithful waiting for Mysha at her doorstep.

"You must drink" said Egon without answering his question. Seeing Mysha's flushed cheeks and her lipstick starting to fade, Egon could immediately imagine the distance Mysha had traveled to run up here.

"Yes, I'm thirsty. Let's go in first." Mysha said as she opened the door of her room.

Egon was slightly surprised to see Mysha's room was quite messy. Not like when Egon lived there. Even on the first day Egon appeared, his room was neatly arranged.

Mysha who noticed Egon's gaze on the state of her room immediately gave an explanation, "Ah, since you are not here, I always go to the cafe until late at night. There's no time to clean this up."

'Ah, is that the reason why he never opened the door for me?' Egon remembered very well that Mysha was busy with her thesis and her work as an editor. That was why, the possibility of Mysha being outside at night was unthinkable to him and just came to visit him immediately. He did not know that doing work at the cafe is one that many young people do there.

"Here, I brought you some food. Maybe it's not as warm as when he just came," said Egon while handing over food that had not been opened.

Mysha's eyes instantly sparkled when she heard the word food. Although he had previously gone to the cafe with Floria, he had not had time to eat a heavy meal, just a glass of water and a bowl of salad. Mysha took the food from Egon's hand and thanked him. Without much pleasantry, he opened it and invited Egon to eat it together.

"It looks so good!" Looking at the contents of the food that Egon had bought, Mysha looked overjoyed. Despite living with Egon for only a short time, he was very happy that Egon could remember what had been his favorite all along.

"Eat!" Egon responded with a smile. He never got tired of seeing how Mysha expressed herself honestly.

Seeing Egon's smile, Mysha's ears turned red. ‘What's right, I'm going to date this guy? Seeing her smile at me like this alone, it made me hot,’ Mysha tried to calm herself down before she started eating food into her mouth. He was afraid of his unworthy feelings, making his hands tremble.

"So, there's actually something I want to talk to you about," the new Mysha will feed her mouth food, hesitantly lowering her spoon back down. He dared himself to look into Egon's green eyes. He had already made up his mind to answer Egon when Egon had sent him the message earlier, although now he had to slightly hold his empty stomach to finish the food in front of him.

*"Miracle Entertainment*Connecting with me, they invited me to cast this week?"

"Huh?" Mysha who had thought the reason for Egon's arrival was to discuss the matter two weeks ago, was stunned after hearing what Egon said.

"Haha.. You can hear it while eating. Sorry, you must be very hungry" said Egon with a big smile. He thought that Mysha was too hungry to digest the words she said to him.

Mysha who returned was embarrassed to hear Egon's words that didn't match her expectations, directly lowered her head. Not wanting to look awkward, he then took a spoon that he had put on his plate and ate back his food.

"They seem to be planning to adapt the novel 'The Dark Prince' into a drama"

"What!" Mysha immediately reacted when she heard Egon say the title of her favorite novel. "Geez! Actually I do not like it when people carelessly adapt a novel that has been written well, into a drama, which usually even looks far from expectations. But, if you're playing the role of Egon, it might be an exception!" continued.

Egon also laughed at Mysha's attitude which suddenly turned passionate. If he could assume, Mysha had two weaknesses. First is good food. Second is the novel 'The Dark Prince, ' especially the character of prince Egon. Although he should have been pleased with Mysha's feelings of admiration for ‘prince Egon,’ he still could not accept the fact that Mysha seemed to still assume that she and prince Egon were two different characters.

“So, are you going to join the casting?” With a hopeful look, Mysha was looking forward to the reply of the man in front of her.

Seriate..
