Episode 5

Lee Ha Eun 

Been days…. Weeks…. Finally…. It's his turn and I feel like throwing up.

It's the last episode but we still have more actor.

“Everyone, get ready. We’re about to start!!” the director said as he told us to get ready because we are about to start tapping. 

Episodes went really well, we got good feedback from the people who had watched it. But some of them keep telling me that it will be weird for me and Lee Jong Suk to ‘kiss’ because we look a lot and we look like siblings.

“Lights camera and action!!!!!!!!” We all started filming for the episode, today we will be making an episode fast.

After the episode of Taecyeon sunbae buying me stuff, and about the CEO daughter, being 'siblings' but we weren't got me really confused.

And also getting a splash of water on my face was enough.

I heard a knocking sound, I turned around and tucked my hair behind my ear while smiling.

But the other actor was there already gazing at me and keep making the bell sound.

"We'll start shooting once the store closes in ten minutes. Wait over there." He smiled.

"What?" I said.

"Come on."

He grabbed my arm and went to the other set and cameras were there already, and the fake crew.

"Right here. Be careful. Careful"

I acted looking around, feeling confused about what was going on.

I walked and walked until I got to the crew. They were waiting for me and talking to each other.

But then once the man moved, I got to face him, he looked at me and smiled.

'Wow! Lee Jong Suk!' My eyes widen.

He keeps smiling so I did.

The other actors I worked with were still there. Watching because they want to know what will happen.

"Ms. Min Soo Jin-ssi? I'm the director." The actor-director said as he offered me his hand to shake.

But since my script was to ignore the director and keep looking at Lee Jong Suk.

"Say hi to Les Jong Suk." He said.

I pretend to trip and he caught me. I looked up to him.

"Are you alright?" Lee Jong Suk said.

I nodded and said, "Yeah, I am."

"AND CUT!! BREAK!!" The actual director cut.

I went to the stylist for them to fix my messy face.

"Omg, Lee Jong Suk! Girl, you are so lucky!!" Jae nudged my arm playful.

"Lucky? Haha, I guess." 

We all talked for a bit and I talked to the other male actors I worked with.

"Ha Eun! Hello, been a while." Kai ruffled my hair as I smiled at him.

"Yeah! Also, guess what guess what." I grinned and did a little jump.

"Hmm?" He smiled.

"We will be debuting after 3 weeks, " I whispered to them, of course, I tiptoe.

"Really?! That's good news! I will support you and your members!" Kai chuckled.

"Thank you so much." I beamed.

"Ha Eun-ssi!! It's starting now!" 

"Okay! Wait!"

"I need to go now." I waved to them and went to the set.

"READY… ACTION!!"

All I needed was to stare at him.

'I can't believe I'm shooting a TV commercial with Lee Jong-suk'

"So Jin-ssi, you look very nervous." I looked at the fake director.

"You didn't know Lee Jong Suk would be in this commercial?" The actor-director said.

"Didn't you? Huh? Huh?" 

I shook my head.

"if you can't do it, we'll replace you with one of your coworkers," he said.

Yes please do it.

"I'll try my best!!" One of the actresses I work with who has the same uniform as me.

"She'll do fine."

"I'm sorry. Now begin" the actor who told me to go here push them away.

"It's her first time so it's natural for her to be nervous." Lee Jong Suk said.

ItS HeR fIrsT TImE sO ItS NatUraL fOr hEr tO bE nErvOuS

I did as I was told, just ADMIRE HIM.

"Oh, sure. Soo Jin, you're lucky to have a nice celebrity vouching for you." The actor-director said.

"Alright start rolling."

"We're all set, start the shooting!"

"You're going to walk along like a happy couple who are going on a trip together." The actor-director said.

"So smile a lot. Act like you're happy" 

I'm not happy at all, and they made me change my clothes.

'I can't believe I'm holding arms with Lee Jong Suk'

"READY…. ACTION!!!"

Both of us started walking, and I was walking with small steps.

"CUT!!"

"Soo Jin-ssi, are you just learning how to walk? Huh? Have you ever held arms with a boy before?"

I had A LOT.

"We can do it over right now!" Lee Jong Suk said.

"Shall we? I guess we could hahaha, now let's try to keep a good vibe going. Hahaha."

Lee Jong Suk suddenly put his arms around my shoulder, that was in the script after all.

He tapped my shoulder and said "try to relax" he smiled and ALL I NEED TO DO WAS STARE AT HIM BECAUSE I WAS TOO ADMIRED BY HIM.

He placed a necklace but I had to hiccup so I did.

"CUT!!" 

The fellow female actress worked laughed while clapping her hands since she has to.

"What the…" the actor-director said.

Lee Jong Suk tried again but I have to act like I'm ticklish. 

"Wait a minute!!" I said and push him away slightly.

"CUT!!"

"cut!! Ugh!!"

He tried and again one more time.

"Cut! Cut!!"

"I'm so sorry. So sorry, sir!" I said but all he did was chuckled because it's funny, and yes even it was at the script but this chuckled is a real one.

We walked towards the actor crew.

"This isn't working out. We'll have to replace her." The actor-director said.

Yes, please.

"I think I can do it!" The other actresses work said.

"Be quiet, be quiet. Sorry" the guy said as he pushed them away.

"Sorry"

"How about we take a short break, director?" Lee Jong Suk said his line.

"Could we talk for a second?" He said.

No please:")

"Huh?" I said my line and looked at him confused.

Our next location was on the second floor.

Both of us sat at the chairs, he handed me a cup of coffee. 

I bowed a little.

"I think you'll be less nervous if you got to know me better," he said.

I don't need to know you better.

'Right. I'm no longer a timid, clumsy woman. I acted so dumbly around Lee Joon Gi, Park Hae Jin, Ji Chang Wook, Kai, and Ok Taecyeon!' 

'But not this time!'

I crossed my right leg and placed it to my left one, like how Lee Jong Suk sitting.

"Thank you," I said.

"You've suddenly improved. You're in character?" He said.

Yes yes

I sat properly again.

"Oh, no, sorry," I said.

"Well, can I ask for a favor?" He said.

I nodded and said "what kind of favor?"

He moved towards a bit to me "Let's just get to know each other better" 

WE DON'T NEED TO!!!!

'He's interested in me too, like the others, I really wish I could date Lee Jong Suk. Will it really happen this time?''

I regret saying that.

"No kissing!!!!" I said my line but half of it, it wasn't. It was coming to me, Lee Ha Eun.

"Well, you see…."

He laughed "Why are you suddenly saying no kiss?"

"Well, there's a reason for that. I'm in a situation, you see" I said.

Yes, there is a reason behind it.

"This will hell our acting in the commercial, this is how we get to know each other better, " he said.

"Yes! Of course, we should get to know each other. I can give you my number. " I said.

"Your number?" He smirked, he's enjoying this.

"Yes, I'll give you my number," I said, he grabbed his phone. His actual phone from his suit.

"I'll give you my number," I said once again since I have to say it.

I took his phone and act like I'm putting my number. 

"Here it is. So we're friends now." I said.

"Are you relaxed now?" He said.

No, I am not, because any minute the kissing will come up.

I nodded "yeah."

"Shall we go?"

"Ok"

We acted the thing we had to awhile ago, of him putting a necklace to me.

"Cut! Ok ok!"

The actor crew started clapping. 

"Very good!"

"Well done! Fantastic!" The actor\-director said.

"Jong Suk, you made her look beautiful with the way you handled it." The actor\-director said.

eXcuSe mE?

"You're a real pro."

"Thank you," Lee Jong Suk said.

"But you know that scene we were supposed to omit? But I think we need to shoot it to raise degrees of completion" the actor\-director said.

Oh, no…. This scene is the thing I don't want to do with him.

"Alright, it looked a bit out of place in the storyboard…." Lee Jong Suk said.

"Yeah, we need the scene. So let's shoot one extra scene." The actor\-director said.

NO NO NO NO NO

"Alright," Lee Jong Suk said. But my line said just nod.

"Great! Get the kissing scene set ready, Mr. Kim." The actor\-director said. 

HECK NO NO NO, 

While the camera was on those people. 

I turned to him and shook my head but all he did was smirk at me.

"Got it, director. Folks, prepare the set for the kissing scene." I looked around as the actors and actresses moved to their places.

"A kissing scene?" I turned my head to him "Do we have to kiss for real?" I said my line but I really meant it.

To the other actors, I didn't kiss them because they said it will be weird but they will make it, it looks like we kissed like almost kissing.

But not with this scene?!?!

"No, it's acting. It's simply a kissing scene. Nothing more." He said.

I want to smack his head because he's enjoying this way too much:"\)

I smiled and nodded "then our lips won't touch? It'll just look like we're kissing, right?" I said my other line.

Please, I want it like the others, almost kissing like it will look like we are kissing.

"We're ready. Actors, take your position." The actor Mr. Kim said.

"Let's go." Lee Jong Suk smiled at me even though that smile is not a smile at all. It's A.DAMN.SMIRK.

"Action!"

Both of us walked together, holding hands. But we are actually gripping each other hand really tight. 

"Oh my goodness!" I acted as I slipped but he caught me.

The camera went really close, so both of us are having our close up.

No… no… heck no….

"I can just pretend to kiss you, right?" I said my line.

He smiled, "No, it's not a fake kiss. You've got to get into your character." He said while the camera was on him.

My eyes went wide but good thing the camera was on him.

He dropped the bags, and place his hand on my cheek and moved towards me.

Well, this is the end anyway.

I can't take this anymore.

"I'M SORRY I CAN'T!!" I pushed him away and acted like puking. 

"AND CUT!!" The actual director said.

"What's wrong Ha Eun?" The PD said.

"I CAN'T KISS HIM!!" I pointed at him, all he did was a laugh on his ass.

"Huh? What's going on?" I heard my managers and members said, started whispering to each other.

"His face getting closer to my face is a nightmare, so no," I said and trying not to cringe. 

"Ha Eun, you're being really rude to Lee Jong Suk." Soo Rin said.

"But it will be weird if siblings kiss each other on the lips when they are adults already." I acted puking again, all I could hear was him laughing really hard.

Everyone at the set started at us shocked, and I noticed what I said.

"It's really, oh gosh. Baby sis, we are not actually going to kiss. HAHAHA, I told the director and the PD not to tell anyone about it especially you." My brother said as he was laughing his ass off.

Yes, Lee Jong Suk is my older brother, and yes he is not in France. And Yes I lied because I don't want to be treated like I'm special just because I'm his little sister. 

"Wait… you two… are siblings?!" Sang Hwa said as she was pointing at the two of us.

"No wonder they look similar…"

"I thought they just look alike but turned out they are siblings!"

"So director, there will be no kissing right?! Please tell me!! I don't want to kiss him! That's so yucky!!" My brother tried to kiss me but I try to push him off.

"Yes, there will be no kissing just like the others. Sorry about it Ha Eun, your brother told us not to tell you that you two are not going to kiss." The director apologized to me.

"Oh thank goodness." I sighed in relief, my brother kiss my cheek which lots of girls fangirling. 

"But since we still have more to shoot with Lee Min Ho, so we should start now. And we'll just cut that scene when you almost threw up by making your brother face towards yours." The director laughed.

"I can't believe that he's your brother!!"

"Why didn't you tell us!"

"Because if I told you guys… you will act differently towards me just because my older brother is a well-known actor, Lee Jong Suk." I sighed in defeat because they have been asking lots of questions. 

"Does manager Chul, Manager Hyuk know about this?"

"Yes, even PDnim, but I told them not to tell anyone and I wanted them to act normal towards me because I don't like special treatment." I smiled at them both of my managers ruffled my hair.

"Oh wow, but you… you don't trust us…?" 

"I do but-"

"But she was just afraid that you'll act differently towards her, she doesn't like it when people do that." We all turned around and saw him there, smiling.

"Omg...it's Lee Jong Suk," Rae said as she covered her mouth in shock.

People around us started whispering, the whispers got even louder when he places his arm around my shoulder.

"Well, if you will excuse me. I need to take her home." My brother bowed at them as he grabbed me towards his van.

"... Lee Ha Eun, why did you lie to us…" my mom said, as I was sitting in front of them.

"It's just… I don't actually know, when I was going home after school before a guy came up to me and told me to audition to Big Hit, at first I thought it was a scam but he gave me his business card too. So why not check if it's true,  and it was true. So I auditioned, and I got in… and it's changing me… I like my members, they are nice to me. Me auditioning change my view to idols and acting." I looked down and started tearing up.

"But you should have told us the truth."

"I'm sorry mom… I'm sorry dad… and brother." 

"It's okay now, and about both of you being siblings are going wild right now. So I guess we need to tell them the truth." My mom said and showed us the article.

"Yeah we should…" my brother and I said at the same time.

JEON JUNGKOOK 

>Breaking news<

Actor Lee Jong Suk and rookie actress Lee Ha Eun turned out to be siblings after the film 'SEVEN FIRST KISSES' 

I'm so sure about it now…. It's her, she's Hannie.

"Wow damn, I was right all along, that's why they look alike." Jhope hyung said while reading the article too.

Everyone is talking about it, even at the company. PDnim confirmed it, that they are siblings.

"Yeah, because they have that same beauty mark." Jin hyung said as he stroked his chin.

"But why she didn't tell us?"

"Hyung, we are not that close to her." 

"Still! She should have told us! Me! I am her friend after all!" Taehyung-hyung crossed his arms.

"We can't blame her for that, she has reasons." Jimin hyung sighed.

"Jiminie, aren't you close with her?"

"Not that really close, also I don't think she will tell me anyway."

"We should just accept it," Suga hyung spoke.

"Yeah, we should."

"Hannie…" I mumbled as I keep staring at her picture. 

"Hey, Ha Eun." I walked towards her, as she was stretching.

"Huh? What is it sunbae?" She sat up straight and gazed at me.

"Here…" I passed her bottle of juice, and I scratch the back of my neck.

"Huh? Thanks sunbae." She grinned.

\*bell noise\*

… there is goes again, the bell. And the red string is showing again.

Is, is she perhaps me soulmate?! Hannie?!

"Ha Eun, here." Jhope hyung gave her a towel.

"Woah, thanks sunbae. Why are you all giving this stuff to me? First Jimin sunbae gave me chocolate, then Taehyung sunbae gave me a hat, Namjoon sunbae gave me a notebook to write on, Jin sunbae gave me a cupcake and then Suga sunbae gave me a damn bear hug."

"...what? A… ``bear hug?"

"Yeah, he hugged me and told me to keep going and do a great job." She shrugged.

"I actually like it, I needed a hug at that time and support. So yeah hahaha." She said.

"Oh, okay then. How about this " I hugged her and she dropped everything because of the sudden hug.

I buried my face on her neck, her scent. I miss it…

"Hey guys, where is Ha Eun\- Jungkook… what in the world are you doing?" A male voice said.

I turned around and it was Taehyung\-hyung.

"What? I only hugged her, what's wrong with it?" I said as I pull away from her frozen body.
