“Tada~ The bride has arrived.”
Jaerin’s cheerful line caught completely off guard.
Why was Jaerin here?
What connection could an idol possibly have with The Pianist?
While I was trying to piece things together,
the answer ca quicker than expected.
“You’re the second-act female lead?”
“Did you figure it out that fast? We’ve said, like, two lines.”
That part of her was always so charming.
She said it with a smile, then threw herself into my arms.
“I missed you so, so, so much. Video calls and texts just weren’t enough.”
“You were on a world tour. You’ve been insanely busy. Are things settled now?”
“Completely. I’m finally on personal ti.”
Snuggle, snuggle.
She nuzzled her face into my chest, and I ran my hand through her hair as we caught up.
“You used your personal ti to co audition?”
“They said it didn’t matter who it was, as long as they could act and you were involved. So I applied right away.”
“Aren’t you tired? Shouldn’t you be resting?”
“This is my way of resting.”
Jaerin rubbed her face into a few more tis before stepping back, clearly satisfied.
“Everything besides the shoot is rest ti, so, uh... co visit at the hotel later.”
There was no mistaking what she ant by that.
I nodded and replied teasingly.
“Did you build up your stamina?”
“T-That’s... that’s a different kind of stamina, okay? Dancing’s not the sa thing!”
While we were goofing around after reuniting—
“Excuse . There’s still ti before we start filming, but I wanted to explain sothing.”
The director approached cautiously with a script in hand.
Now that I thought about it, Evelyn still hadn’t shown up.
Could this be about that?
And sure enough—
“Because of that attacker last ti, CAE decided to postpone filming until she stabilizes.”
The director inford Evelyn wouldn’t be joining.
Honestly, I couldn’t bla her.
Actually, doing it this way was probably the right call.
Even I had a hard ti convincing Seokho hyung to let co back.
It was pure luck that nothing happened last ti.
Just the fact that I’d faced an ard attacker made it an insanely dangerous situation.
Even if it was a shoot backed by Disney,
if they couldn’t guarantee 100% safety, it was only natural to be scared.
I really wanted to go. I’m so sorry.
The boss was furious...
But it’s not a contract breach or anything. It’ll just take a little ti.
I’m really sorry. Really.
As soon as the director finished talking, Evelyn’s ssage ca through.
She’d been quiet lately, and now I knew why.
