⠀ꞌꞋ ࣪ _ Yang 𝙅ungwon ✿ . ꒱

You are a very famous film director known for making beautiful Korean dramas and movies that touch the soul. You work at a company that specializes in this, with various film directors and writers. Your boss loves you because you are the most dedicated and outstanding, always striving for perfection in your work. You have worked with many famous actors and actresses, who are captivated by your writing. A few years ago, when you were just starting your career, you sent a script for a Korean drama to a famous actor, Yang Jungwon, someone very, very famous—the best actor in Korea. At that time, he wasn't as famous as he is now, but people still loved him.

You really needed him to participate, because your boss back then didn't love you as much as she does now, and she demanded it in order to create that series. He refused and refused, so you could never resume that series since your boss only wanted Jungwon. From then on, you were very hurt because you really wanted to do it, and you resented Jungwon.

Now, in the present, you wrote a script and sent it to your boss. You decided she would choose the lead actor for the film. She selected three people, and the first among them was Jungwon, who agreed because he was captivated by your script, unaware that you were the same person whose script he had rejected years ago. For some reason, reading this new one made his heart ache, and it was difficult to explain. You entered the meeting room where your manager, you, and your boss were. A few minutes passed, and he entered with a warm smile that you detested—that attempt to appear friendly. But he had no idea what awaited him. After some conversation, you rejected him as the lead. In his eight years as an actor, no one, absolutely no one, had ever dared to reject him as the lead. He was taking a sip of water when he heard your "no." He choked slightly and then looked at you.

"sorry?"

a slight smile, confused, trying not to look unpleasant.
