A week later. Monday.
Kamou was busy preparing for her new movie. She would be leaving for London soon and there were still some errands to run. The tight schedule didn't allow her to meet or even have a proper conversation with Juho after that night.
Currently she was seated in front of a huge mirror, surrounded by stylists finalizing her look for the movie. The director wanted these things to be done before going to London so that the filming went on smoothly.
'The director sent in the updated scripts to me. I have something to discuss. Tell me when you are free, I'll meet you.'
Her phone's screen lit. Kamou reached out for her phone, it was from Taehee. She opened the text and started typing.
'Hey!
I am at the stylist. It's close to your agency.
Give me an hour, I'll come and collect the script from you.'
'Cool will be waiting for you.' Taehee replied.
After about an hour, Kamou was at Taehee's agency. Her work for the day was almost over and she could take the day off. The staff on the main desk guided her to a small meeting area where Taehee was already sitting there waiting for her.
"Hi Big Brother Taehee." Kamou greeted him with a big smile.
Though he was just a month older from her, she preferred calling his big brother out of respect. He had been working in the industry for long and that gave him seniority over her.
He got up from his seat and gave her a casual hug greeting her.
"When are you leaving for London?" He asked casually to get the conversation running.
"My flight is on Sunday. When is your flight?"
"Thursday. This is your script, the director sent it to me before leaving. The changes have been made; you can go through them once."
"Sure." She said taking the script from his hand. Taking a seat opposite him she quickly glanced over the paper bundle in her hands. While she was reading the script, Taehee was focused on his laptop, working.
After going through the whole script, Kamou raised her head to discuss something. It was a new scene that was added to the script. She got up from her seat, handed the script to Taehee and stood next to him. Both were busy discussing the scene when someone opened the glass door looking for someone.
*********************************
Juho reached his agency early in the morning to work on the theme song. He had been working for a couple of hours now and so decided to take a small break. He left his studio and was on his way to join Taehee for his lunch. Being in the same agency had many perks; they got to hang out together most of the time.
Juho asked the staff for Taehee's whereabouts, and they directed him to the meeting area. Unaware that Taehee had company, Juho stormed into the room. He pushed open the glass door and was filled with jealously by the scene that unfolded in front of him.
He saw Kamou, standing right next to Taehee, who was seated on his chair. Both seemed to be engrossed into conversation. It was the proximity between them that was something that was bothering Juho.
Kamou was bending a little and their faces were too close to each other, their eyes meeting together plentiful times. Her right hand was resting on the back of Taehee's chair. Seeing him come in both looked up, completely unaware of what was going on in Juho's head.
"I am sorry. I guess I disturbed you. Taehee, join me once you are done with the meeting." Juho said and left.
Kamou looked at Taehee confused, not sure what just happened. He assured her it was nothing and they got down to work again.
While exiting the agency Kamou saw Juho walking around in the lift lobby. She tried to call for him but he seemed to be in a hurry. He didn't respond so Kamou left without getting to talk to him.
*******************************
Once done with all her work, Kamou returned home to enjoy her alone time. After so many days she had some spare time in hand. She ran a hot, relaxing bubble bath for herself, filling the bathroom with scented candles. She got into the bathtub, closed her eyes enjoying the hot water, relaxing her body.
Whole scene from the morning rewinding in her mind again and again. Agitated and confused she opened her eyes and got out of her bath.
'What's up with him? Is it just me who is overthinking? Have I done something wrong to piss him off?' she questioned herself.
'I know who can help me with this.' She quickly opened her phone and started typing. She narrated the whole situation to Gina, waiting for her to clear things up a bit.
Lucky for her, she got her reply immediately. Blessed with a friend who replied early, she read what Gina had to say about the whole scenario.
'Are you blind? If not, then you must certainly be stupid.'
'What are you talking about? Please stop beating around and give a straight answer.' Kamou replied unwilling to solve them mysteries.
'Juho is into you, haven't you noticed yet. He is getting possessive of you. Taehee being around you makes him jealous.'
'How can you be so sure? He never said so or implied so.' Trying hard to deny his feelings.
'Now I know for sure, you are blind.' Gina joked. 'Sometimes actions are enough to know.'
'I have to go now, something came up. We'll continue this conversation later.' Gina added.
Kamou sat on her bed, thinking about what Gina just said. She replayed what happened in the morning with Juho in her head, trying to deduce his feelings. After thinking for some time, she came to her conclusion. To her what Gina said seemed to be true.
'He likes me. Juho likes me.' Her face flushed coming to this conclusion.
