Next day, Producer Kim's office:
Juho sat in front of Producer Kim with his legs crossed. His manager standing beside him, paying attention to the conversation happening.
"So, you want to sing the theme song for the movie?" Producer Kim asked.
"Yes, Taehee told me about the plot of the movie. Some tweaks here and there and the song would be just perfect for the movie." Juho answered.
"And you personally came all the way here for this?" Director shot confused glance.
Juho was successful, everyone wanted to work with him. His success was so huge that even the agency he worked in didn't exercise much control on him. He made his own music and it was odd for him to come here asking for work.
"Why are you interested in this project? I heard you had an album coming out." Director asked again.
"Let's just say the movie is precious for me." He replied.
Obviously, it was important to him, it won him his first date with Kamou. It was her first project as the main lead, her hard work was finally paying off. He wanted to be a part of it.
*************************************
Kamou reached Producer Kim's office just in time. She was wearing a white suit with a pink shirt underneath. The buttons of her suit were open, paired with colorful dangling earring. She looked classy yet very professional. It was her first meeting with the rest of the cast and being late was a big no. The lady on the reception guided her and her manager to the meeting room.
Through the glass door she could see some people sitting inside, collecting herself she opened the door and entered with Miss Min. With a smile plastered on her face she greeted Producer Kim, who then introduced her to the rest of the crew. While talking to the crew members her eyes trailed off on a familiar face.
Startled she looked at him confused. 'What is he doing here?'
The guy smirked at her startled expression. Not wanting to gain anyone's attention she ignored him and continued with her conversation. A few minutes later, Producer Kim came up to her along with the guy.
"Miss, you might be knowing Park Juho. We just roped him in for the theme song and he will be joining us for today." Producer Kim explained.
Kamou bent a little greeting him with a hello.
'So finally, you decided to greet me. I thought you were going to ignore me today as you did to my text last night. So, you want to keep it professional, fine by me.' Juho thought to himself. He gave a slight nod to her hello and moved on.
In time everyone was seated along the large table in the middle of the room. Only the important people related to the movie were present. Kamou was seated just opposite Juho. The chair beside Juho was still empty. Probably it was for the male lead who was yet to reach.
Within a few minutes a handsome man entered the room with sunglasses on. He greeted everyone and introduced himself, not that it was necessary, everyone knew who he was. So, it was final the male lead was Yun Taehee.
Taehee while saying hello to other people approached Kamou. She got up from her seat and elegantly shook hands with Taehee. It was not the first time they were working together so they were familiar with each other.
Juho who was observing the whole scene unfold was pumping with jealously inside. 'I don't even get a decent 'Hi' from her and there she is all smiles, shaking hands with my best friend.'
Taehee sat next to Juho as Kamou took her seat. Once settled she looked around, she knew that Producer Kim was prominent in the industry. It was evident with the people working in the movie, they were all successful and she was the only one who was inexperienced in the room.
She felt someone was constantly starting at her. She looked up and if eyes could kill it would be in that very moment. Juho was pissed, she could see it in his eyes.
'Why is he so mad? And what do I have to do with it?' She thought to herself. Not bothered with it she concentrated on her script.
The actors read out their parts of the script. After that the crew gave their opinions on the story and how they feel about it. At this point any changes in the script were invited.
The shooting was scheduled to start in next 20days. The movie will be filmed in two schedules because some parts needed to be shot in foreign location. The director decided to go ahead with the foreign shoot first and then come back to Korea for the rest of the film. Therefore, most the crew would be flying to London within the next two weeks.
****************************
After the script reading, the Director took them out for drinks. They would all be working together for the next couple of months; hence it was good for them to know each other before hand.
Kamou's manager, Miss Min was not able to join her as she had to report back to the company. They all chatted and drank there for a while and slowly some of them started to leave. At the end only Kamou, Juho, Taehee and second lead were left. Kamou was the only female in the mix.
Kamou had to take a taxi back home as Miss Min picked her up today. Realizing it was getting late she got up and bid farewell to everyone and prepared to leave. Coming out of the bar she was waiting on the sidewalk for a taxi. A black car stopped in front of her.
The driver pulled down the window and offered to drop her home. Kamou hesitated a little, it was getting late and she was a little intoxicated. Giving in she opened the door and got into the car.
