"All the wedding preparation has finished with this. Soon we will greet our stars for today, Mr Jeongwoo Kim and Ms Miran Moon!" The host announced while calling the groom.
Soon all the guests started clapping and Jeongwoo entered the wedding hall. Everyone was very happy for the couple but there was one person who was very hurt and just witnessing the wedding of her beloved boyfriend.
Hwang-Yura
Yura was a very kind and hardworking and talented actress. After the death of her parents Jeongwoo was the only person she trusted and loved the most. And here she was witnessing his marriage with someone rich. She was just remembering the moment when he told her that he is getting married.
Flashback...
The Previous week. She was very happy to meet her boyfriend after a long and tiring week. He called her in a cafe and threw an invitation card in front of her while sipping his coffee.
At first, she was confused so she was about to ask what it was but before she could complete her sentence "I am going to get married. My prospective father-in-law is the strongest presidential candidate." he said, while looking down.
"That's why our level is getting further apart now." He replied.
It was a shock for her. She felt a sharp pain in her heart. All the precious moments and memories they made together were flashing in front of her eyes. She was just sitting still while listening to him without any expressions.
"I don't know if you're that naive or just straight out stupid. You don't even get suspicious when I always ignore your call once a month because of a photoshoot. Well, How could you even know the schedule of an overseas photoshoot if you never do it, Right?"He said. All his words were like piercing her heart.
She trusted and loved him so much so she didn't think he would betray her like this for something But in the end he called her stupid for just trusting him.
Flashback ends...
The newly wedded couple made an entry. All the guests were clapping and cheering for them while yura was looking at them while sitting at the table. She was getting irritated looking at his face but was showing that didn't care about him.
A cup of tea falls from her hand. And she made fist.
Be patient, Be patient!! She was only repeating these words to control herself and not beating him.
"I have to be patient for the sake of myself. He already invited me all the way here to eat, So let's eat first. Let's treat this as his last gift!" She thought while eating as much as she could.
But was disturbed by a waitress there.
"Excuse me Miss. The seats for guests have already been arranged. I will escort you to your seat if you tell me your name". She asked politely.
Yura was just looking at her as she was embarrassed about herself.
"What am I doing here? Why would I even sit nicely while eating? Is it because I wanted to pretend that I don't care?If it's not because of that either..." She thought.
"Oh, so both of your parents died in an accident.. It must've been hard for you to live alone.. From Now on I will always be by your side"
All the words by people were going through her mind.
She was looking down while tearing up.
My apology Miss, but the guest that's guest is supposed to sit here...
Yura immediately stood up and said,"Yura Hwang.. My name is Yura Hwang.
"Ah Miss Yura Hwang please follow me"
The waitress said while guiding her..
Her seat was in a corner. She didn't want to let anyone see her in a crying state so she started searching for her sunglasses.
But it was nowhere to be found. She thought she forgot it on that table.
On the other hand...
"Woah. Seung hyun kang, they gave you soup right away after you sat?" His friend asked.
Seung Hyun Kang was a famous actor and CEO.
He simply replied no while noticing the sunglasses. He was about to pick them up but suddenly Yura picked them up and ran away while saying sorry.
Both men were looking at her dumbfounded to process what just happened.
Seung Hyun Kang thought that he had seen her somewhere.
His friend was enjoying his food and chatting with others while Seung Hyun was still thinking where I saw her?
He drank the soup and thought what will even change even if I remember.
While Yura was embarrassed how clumsy she was looking there. After the wedding ended she came home and called her best friend and her assistant to ask her to search for auditions.
She wanted to show him what he had lost. She was in the film industry for many years but wasn't acknowledged as she was only behind the main leads. But this time she wanted to try for a better role. It will be a new start for her.
"You passed You passed" her best friend came shouting "Time told you to come!"
She was reading a book when her best friend as well as her assistant came running to her.
After coming back from her ex's wedding she auditioned for many roles and the best movie in which many big celebrities had auditioned for the main actors had selected her. It was the best news and also shocked for her.
It was very hard to believe. She immediately stood up.
Are you serious? "Time" choose me?" Yura asked standing up. and her friend replied.
They both hugged each other. Yura had tears in her eyes.
"Sis, I'm not dreaming ain't I?" Yura said."It's real! Silly, you cry again!"
Time was a new movie by Director Young Han
Yoo, A respresentative of the Korean movie Industry. The movie that's very much awaited will cover two box office actors, Seung Hyun Kang and Chang Heyon Cho!
She auditioned to be the female lead two months ago but she had no hope as no-one contacted me. She was in the film industry for seven years but she was only in supporting roles.
"Wait, It's not time to be happy! Do they not ask us to come and take the script? Don't we have to do reading because it has been changed? Oh, Maybe the shoot is pushed back?" She was running here and there as she was so excited.
"No... They said the production is going as scheduled. They told you to come to the shooting that will take place three days from now in Busan." her friend said.
"What? Are you sure it's for shooting, not reading? She asked.
But her friend said that it was really for shooting. Soon Yura became upset as she understood that she doesn't have any lines?
She grabbed her friend and asked if it was for hyerim part. But her friend was confused and said that it was for Suzy.
Once again it was for supporting character and she just sat on the floor looking expressionless.
Suzy was the male lead's ex, Her face is revealed several times for the flashbacks but she drowned in despair and finally ended her won life.
Yura had already memorized all the lines. All the happiness on her face was gone and she was looking very upset.
But she thought that If she have to act somebody who gave up hope on leaving. Then maybe she can act well.
She stood up with a smile on her face and said," All right! Maybe I can play it well and steal the public attention! When else can I act in" Time"!" cheerfully.
"Now you can return it directly the handkerchief," Her friend said.
A year ago...
Cut Cut!! The director was shouting at Yura as she was doing it wrong. She was very embarrassed and said sorry to the director.
"You're just an Extra, However you've been doing nothing but mistakes, Even the mistakes that even lead didn't do! The director shouted, and asked to take a break.
Her best friend came running to her and asked if she was okay.
"That Director always scolds people whenever he's feeling unwell. Sorry Yura, You got scolded because of nothing." she consoled her.
But Yura told her that she is ok and told her that she is going to the bathroom.
She went running into a corner and suddenly stopped while placing a hand on the wall. All the words were and her insults were going through her head. In these six years no one ever really remembers her. Tears started running down her eyes.
"Ah, Why do I cry? The shooting has yet to finish" while consoling herself.
Suddenly someone extended a handkerchief to her it was none other than the male lead and her senior Seung Hyun Kang. She started wiping her tears immediately
"Ah, Senior I'm sorry, Because of me the shooting is delayed" while forcing herself to smile
She was apologizing again and again. He held her hand and gave her the handkerchief and told her that the dress came form sponsor so you can't make it dirty so use this.
Yura thanked him and he went away saying she don't need to return it.
But in middle he turned back and asked her name. He was shining like the sun lightening her world and giving her hopes And she told her name.
Flashback ends...
She was now in the car still thinking about him while holding a handkerchief in her hands and smiling.
"At that time I couldn't say thank you because I wasn't feeling well but Maybe he had already forgotten about me. However I'm honoured that I can play in the same movie as him" She thought.
Not knowing what was coming for her next.
The shooting was in Busan so Yura left with her best friend. She arrived at the shooting location.It was on the seaside the sound of waves were very peaceful but it was very crowded She greeted the Director everything was going pretty good until she saw a familiar face which she didn't wanted to meet.
"Jeong-Jeong Woo Kim",Yura said with shocked and disgusted face.
"Yura-Yura Hwang?"Jeong Woo said with the same irritated Why are you here face.
They both were very shocked to see their exes on the shooting location."Why are you here?" they both shouted in unison.
"Of course I'm here for the shooting and why are you here??" she replied Jeong Kim was going to say something but suddenly someone told him that the director was calling him.
His face immediately changed and he smiled talking with them.Yura was shocked to see the change in his expression and she was thinking how did she never noticed that.
He turned to Yura and said," Looks like you got a minor role, Huh.You'd better watch your words, I don't want your name to get entangled with mine." in a very creepy and cold tone.
Suddenly the director called him and he went with a smile and a friendly face.Her friend Jin Kyung came running towards her and said," Yura!! It's bad! I just heard from the crew that Jeong Woo Kim. "she was going to continue but seeing Yura's disgusted face and expressions she figured that she had already met him.
"How can he be here" Yura asked.
Her friend told her that Jeong Wo Kim is replacing the second main lead Chang Hyeon Cho.Some investors suddenly took back their investment, so the production cost is insufficient.
It wasn't very shocking that he got the part because his wife was the daughter of a presidential candidate.It was very easy for him to get the part without any hard work.
Yura had almost forgot about him her wound was almost healed but she was sad that he became the main lead when she was just an extra despite all the hard work.
Jin Kyung advised her that she could shoot next time looking at her depressed face but Yura stopped her.
"Why should I avoid him? Casting any minor role is more satisfying and honourable than having the main lead through dirty ways" Yura said with a smile.
Jin Kyung knew that Yura was upset but she was happy that Yura was trying to move on.
She smiled and unloaded the drinks and said that she will join Yura after sharing the drinks with the crews. yura asked her for a drink but she denied and said to focus on her acting and went away distributing drinks in the crew.
In the last seven years her friend Jin Kyung was the only one who supported her and gave hope.Jin Kyung was like a family to her.And now it was her time to shine and make her proud.
On the other hand
Seung Hyun Kang was talking on the phone with his friend who was replaced by Jeong Woo Kim but he was not unhappy or sad.
Kang Hyun didn't know that he would meet that Jeong Woo Kim so early and like this. He came to greet him in the morning but had so much attitude which only made him irritated more. Even the crew and the director were wrapped around his fingers because his wife has a great authority. And his best friend had to give up the role because of him.
He laid down on the bed thinking how messed up it was. Suddenly his assistant barged in saying that he had very bad news.
Kang Hyun asked him what happened but he just shouted at him.
"Why are you just sleeping here!! Help us to stop the Director Yoo!! He would kill someone if we let this continue"
Kang Hyun immediately stood up and went to the set.
The director was shouting on Yura again that
her acting was terrible.
"Why are you hesitating and looking terrified? You're supposed to act as somebody who killed herself by drowning!! But why are you looking like someone who's asking for help instead?? The director shouted.
While Yura was shivering and apologizing by the sea as she was wet.
"How many times are you going to apologize? If you can't do it, just go back to Seoul and don't cause any trouble" the director shouted at yura but the assistant director advised to take a break and Yura thanked him.
But the Assistant director said that she don't need to be thankful and she's the third person that casts as Suzy and they are already tired to search for a new one.
Jin Kyung immediately covered her with a warm blanket and took her to her car. Jeong Woo Kim was just staring and witnessing the whole scene and went to her car.
He opened the car and sat next to her.
"I know you're not a famous actress but I never knew that you are willing to cast as someone who died in the first scene But if you want I can give you another role." He said with a creepy smile.
But Yura immediately denied and told him to go away. He was insulting her that she doesn't have any value and she should be thankful that he was in a relationship with her for so long. She got out of the car and sat outside.
Kang Hyun just came outside his room and saw a girl shouting stop it. At first he didn't say anything.
She trembled and sat outside near the car and started crying. He immediately understood looking by her long hair and her white dress that she was Suzy.
Suzy he called. Yura turned and saw her senior behind her.
