Arriving at set, Dylan "parks" (Get it! It"s a pun! Get it!).The others thank me for my wonderful care, while hurrying off to wardrobe and make-up. Just as I, press the alarm for the car which triggers central locking, my phone begins buzzing. Reaching into my pocket to see who the person calling is. The caller ID on screen surprises me.
"Why is he calling me so early"
After pressing call b.u.t.ton, I speaks into the receiver, "Good Morning, uncle and what do I owe the pleasure of your call "
"Dylan, What did you do last night?" He asks in a very domineering tone.
"Have drinks with friends" I respond slightly annoyed at the way he is talking to me
"Dylan! This is not a game. What did YOU do to Director Lee??" He screams
I take the receiver away from my ear and plug my ear with my finger as I grimace.
"Chill uncle. Let me explain...."
Stopping me from talking, he interrupts "Come to Seocho-gu, when you done with your work"
"Got it"
*Click*
I expected a little backlash but seriously, his not even going to even let me explain?
Ai, whatever. Let"s just focus on todays shoot.
Seeing the instense expression on my face. Chae-won who has patiently waited for me, she asks with a voice full of concern, "Everything okay?"
Directing my gaze to her soft cheeks and meek expression. I only find myself more and more drawn into her absolute cuteness.
"Yeah, everything is cool" I rub her head, messing with her hair a bit. She shakes my hand of but she clearly doesn"t mind.
"Does it have anything to do with what happened last night?" Chae-won asks while slightly holding onto my s.h.i.+rt like a little puppy.
"A little bit yeah but don"t worry." I a.s.sure her, "Nothing like that will ever happen... to you again. I promise" I say seriously , while I stick out my pinky wiggling it for her to complete the pact.
She intertwines her small hands with mine and we seal the promise.
We then make our way together after the other two and get ready for another full day under lights and cameras
................
"Thank you for the hard work" I bow as I greet the staff and make my way to get changed into my clothes.
In the dressing room, I can hear Seungi-Hyung singing SNSD "Tell me your wish" with all his heart.
"Hyung you know we can hear you, right?" I question sarcastically
He just responds with his usual contagious bright and cheerful chuckle before answering back, "You don"t like SNSD? Come on! Are you even a man?"
"Ofcourse I like SNSD"
"See" He motions with his entire body throwing his hands in my direction, "You can"t deny it"
"But I don"t like Hyung singing SNSD though" I playfully insult him.
Thinking about it. Back in my past life/the future, he ends up dating Yoona for a bit. I wonder if that will still happen.
"Hyung, whose your bias" I not so "randomly" question as I take of my s.h.i.+rt and begin to change.
"Yoona!" He answers excitedly
I guess his taste hasn"t changed.
"You know I met her before... when I was in family outing"
"I know! I watch T.V" he says annoyed. Thinking that I"m trying to show off.
"I have her number too"
"WHAT! you have yoona"s number"
"I guess you can say we friends, she helped me out before when Joo-hyun was in a little trouble because of me at S.M"
Seungi makes his way over to me and slaps me on the back, "You going to introduce us right? You not going to keep her all to yourself"
"Depends..."
"On what?"
"Whether see wants to meet you or not (hehe)"
"Ai this.. " He scoffs and throws his loose clothes at me, "Hey! you have to"
"We"ll see, hyung. We"ll see" I offer him some hope. Right up until we reach our vehicles he doesn"t stop pestering me.
Seeing his persistence, I might have to plan something special for the last day of shooting.
.........
Making my way to S group headquarters. I arrive at the destination 15 minutes later with the help of the sat-nav.
Looking at the three 40 story buildings, I"m confused as to which building I need to enter.
Seeing a lady with a lanyard pa.s.s by, I flag her for her attention.
"Excuse me miss, which building is S group?" I ask
The 30 something, well put together korean-american responds , "All three"
"Wow!"
"I always knew S group was big but seeing it live just reminds me of that"
"Do you need help?" She kindly offers to a.s.sist me
"Actually... I"m here to meet the vice president. Mr Lee. You can say I"m a relative." I answer
"OH, go this way (she points me in the direction I am to take), sign in by reception and you will be helped"
"Thank you," I bow slightly expressing my grat.i.tude and do as instructed.
She gives me a kind word of good luck and well wishes before she hurries off somewhere else.
When I make my way to reception, it seems like the middle of the 3 man unit recognizes me and quickly stops me from greeting and asking questions, leading me to a private elevator. 39 stories later, I enter the only office on the floor.
Stunned by the sheer size of the room, it takes me a moment or two before I finally spot that the other person , a somewhat handsome, 40 yr old man, whose still in great shape and but for the signs of ageing could easily pa.s.s as a 20 yr old. His on the phone and has a doc.u.ment in his hand while sitting by his long mahogany desk.
Moments later, he puts the phone down and turns his attention to me, with a big smile on his face he says "Dylan, my boy. You are here?"
"Uncle?"
