Joon-won sighed as he sat down inside the noodles shop. He looked around and couldn''t find Jung-Hwa anywhere. So he texted her about it and only got the response that she was runningte and that she was on her way. She even told him to order for himself. Seeing that message, Joon-won started calling for himself. He was hungry and got her permission.


    As he was digging into his ramen, he felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around to see an out-of-breath Jung-Hwa next to him. Slurping his noodles, he passed her a ss of water. Gulping down the noodles, he looked at her and said, "So why were youte? Order your food too.."


    Jung-Hwa ordered her food and then replied to his question, "Why was Ite? It''s because of you. Now everyone in the entire school thinks I know what you are doing and where you are every second. I don''t even know why these idiots think like that. It''s so frustrating. The teacher called me and asked me when I woulde back to the sses. That snotty bastard is too scared to ask the vice-dean, and so he called me up. Ugh, he is so irritating." She groaned while clutching her head.


    Joon-won hummed and didn''t know what to tell after hearing that. He can''t just say that he would be back on Monday because he had no ns to do so. He wanted to go to Yun-hee''s University and check her enrollment.


    "So, leave all of this mess. Talk about the shooting. Do you have any pics you managed to sneak in behind the scenes? How was the director? Was he like those directors in the movies, all mean and stubborn."


    Joon-won sighed at the machine gun which was going off and said, "It was good. And pics? I didn''t take any pics behind the scenes. I''m a small actor so they had a use in my contract about any pictures. If I''m famous, there might be no such uses but not now. The director was good. He gave me more scenes after all." And continued to eat the food in front of him.


    "How were the actors? You never told me who the actors involved in this film were. I only know senior Hea-Jung is involved in this film. So, who were the main leads. They should be at least B-grade because you told that it''s a medium-sized budget movie."


    "Yes, both the main leads were B-grade actors. Their names are Chea Young and U-Hyun. I don''t know if you know them. Both of them are good people, they gave me a party yesterday too." As he said their names, he could hear Jung-Hwa mumble at the end and turned his head to see her searching their names on the inte.


    "AH! This must be Chea Young''s first movie as a main lead. Until now he only acted as a side character in big movies. But this U-Hyun seemed to have some experience as a female lead." Showing her phone to him. Joon-won also looked at the information as he had no idea about both of them except what he saw in the set. He tried to identify the movies both of them acted in but couldn''t remember seeing any of them and so he just shrugged it off.


    "Eat your noodles. Do not let them go cold." He pointed at therge bowl the waiter just put in front of her. Jung-Hwa seemed to be very hungry as she just dug into the bowl.


    Slurping the noodles she looked at him and asked, "So, is Yun-hee and your fathering tomorrow? Do you want me toe with you? There are no sses tomorrow after all."


    Joon-won shook his head and replied, "No, I''ll go and pick them up tomorrow morning at the station. If you want to meet Yun-hee and spend some time then I''m nning to take them to the museum in the city, you cane along." He knew she and Yun-hee were now good friends and so there was no problem in inviting her to join them.


    Jung-Hwa nodded and continued, "So, is she going to stay with you at home or in the dorms?"


    "Don''t ask dumb questions. Of course she is staying at the dorms. There''s no way I''m going to live with her and it''s good to have the dorm experience too."


    Jung-Hwa nced at him and replied, "You sound like such a hypocrite at the moment. You speak like you have the dormitory experience. You live in your t instead of the dorms." Joon-won turned a deaf ear to herment and just continued to eat.


    "Did you n out your next movie? I''m sure there must be some audition opportunities you have."


    "There are a few opportunities for some small roles. I''m thinking of whether to wait till this movie that I just acted to release or take on these small roles. This movie might take another 2 or even 3 months to release until then I can''t waste my time. I told Do Hwan that I''ll tell him my decision by the end of the week. What about you? Are you going back to your drama house to act this year?"


    Jung-Hwa nodded and said, "Yes, I''ll go back and act a bit more. I also feel like I''m not at the level tond roles right now. I need more time to tune my acting further too. So by the middle of this semester I''ll look at myself and decide if I want to try auditioning. Until then, I''ll just continue to act in the drama house." Jung-Hwa originally nned to stop the drama house when the semester started but after seeing Joon-won get a role she decided to continue.


    "Right with this out of the way, what about those two idiots Roh Ji and Hyeong Myung?" Jung-Hwa really hated those two idiots and wanted to ept the Star Batch offer after knowing the teacher was going to give it to them if they didn''t take it.


    "Why are you being so petty? Just leave it be. It''s not like their skills will actually improve from only changing the batch they study in. Concentrate on your acting for now and leave all this aside." Jung-Hwa just took a deep breath and nodded. Both of them continued to eat and just like Joon-won said he ended up paying for it.


    Standing outside the shop Joon-won looked at Jung-Hwa and said, "Alright then, go back to your room now. I''ll send you the text about when we will go to the museum." Jung-Hwa nodded and walked away.


    Joon-won quickly made his way back home and started organising everything in the house. The house wasn''t messy but he was just making sure where everything was onest time before sitting on the couch.


    He took out the phone and video called Min-Seok. He wanted to know how they were and if they were ready. Their bus was at 6 in the morning and they will be at Arios by 10. So it was a medium sized journey. The call got answered and he could see and hear Yun-hee shout.


    [Dad, leave all the bags alone. It''s already the 5th time you are checking them now. We packed everything. Look, even Joon-won called.]


    Joon-won sighed hearing her. It was within Min-Seok''s habits to act like that. Even when the original Joon-won was moving to Arios, the night before was aplete hell hole.


    "Is he going through all the bags worried again?" He asked Yun-hee who looked very tired and as expected she nodded and replied.


    [Yes, this is the 5th time already. He is in a way worse condition than he was when you were going away. He might just go crazy being alone in the house if it continues like this.]


    "So, is everything packed and ready then? Are you guys going to pack breakfast to eat or eat somewhere the bus would stop?"


    [Yes, everything is ready for tomorrow. I told dad that we could eat on the way but he insisted that he would cook onest time for me. So I guess we would pack our breakfast for tomorrow.]


    "Hmm, alright. Once call dad."


    She nodded and screamed on top of her lungs for Min-Seok. Min-Seok seemed to hear her as he came running with a few things in his hand.


    [Do you need more clothes to pack? Keep these two for casual wear.]


    Yun-hee just snatched the clothes in his hand before handing him the phone and running away.


    "Dad, rx a little. We can buy things here. If you continue to do that, she might not want toe home on Holidays too. You don''t want that to happen right?"


    That seemed to do the trick as Min-Seok calmed down. Both talked for awhile and Joon-won went to sleep.
