* * *

Yoojin ate a portion of her tomato caprese.

She wished she could eat the nicely sizzling ribs, some fried pork, or some steak that the chef was cooking, but she couldnt do so when she thought about the aftermath.

‘Calories, calories.

The logic that girls of her age should eat because it was their growth period only applied to others of her age.

As her dream was to become an actress, high-calorie food was like a poisonous goblet.

It would bring her bliss one she drank it, but not long later she would regret it.

“Arent you eating too much vegetables”

Next to her, the guy named Yoo Jiseok spoke.

Yoojin had never suspected her own sociability until now.

She was confident that she would make friends even in a place full of strangers.

Even to her though, Jiseoks sociability was something else.

Although people of their age would become friends easily, Jiseoks attitude of asking the embarrassing questions straight to their faces made her admit defeat.

He didnt seem like a bad guy, but he was a little uncomfortable to deal with since he asked personal questions.

“Oh! Youre on a diet You dont look like you need one though.”

Jiseok smiled as he spoke.

Yoojin smiled slightly.

Although it might have been empty flattery, it was still good to hear nonetheless

“Were you close with Maru”

“Were we”

Yoojin redirected the question to Maru.

“We were close enough to prepare for a drama together.”

“And how close is that”

“Then Ill correct myself and say that were close enough to not care about a few months of not contacting each other.”

“Your way of speaking really hasnt changed.

You and I might not have been in contact, but I called up your girlfriend several times, you know We even talked behind your back.”

“....”

“Pfft.

Look at you frown.

You act so sweet in front of her but youre always so cold against others.”

“What, you want me to treat you sweetly too”

“Forget it! I might puke what I just ate.

Your girlfriend can have all of it.”

A suitable distance.

Yoojin believed that the reason she could talk to Maru with ease was because of that.

They could feel glad to meet each other again, and they could just as easily part ways without feeling disappointed.

Their relationship was lighter than that of a friends, but little heavier than that of just acquaintances.

It was hard to form such a suitable distance with other males of her age.

Most of them either tried to close that distance, and some just distanced themselves after confessing to her.

“You two look like good friends,” Jiseok interrupted and spoke.

Yoojin snorted at that remark.

“What good friends Hey, you shouldnt get close to that guy either.

You just saw, didnt you Ive never seen this guy act nice at all.”

“Isnt that whats good about him”

Jiseok had a playful smile on his face, but Yoojin was able to discover a slight sadness behind his smile.

She almost subconsciously asked what he meant by it, but she gained a hold over herself and stayed quiet.

They werent that close enough to ask such questions yet.

“Ah.

I wonder if theres anything exciting.

Its a party after all.”

Jiseok stood up from his seat, disappointed.

“Who the hell is he” She asked Maru while Jiseok was away.

Maru kept on chewing or a while before speaking in a low voice.

“We just saw each other twice during the audition.

Oh, I guess we saw a play together.”

“You saw a play together Isnt that a little strange I thought you two werent close.”

“Why dont you try having him next to you Youll find yourself thinking that its much better to just have him do what he wants rather than refusing him all the time.

Hey, why dont you take him at this opportunity Ill yield him to you.”

“Hell no.”

“Thats a pity.”

Yoojin watched Jiseok who was walking around the hall by himself.

He was greeting everyone he came across.

Some smiled and accepted his greeting, but most people usually just scanned him from top to bottom before just walking away.

Despite that, he did not relent and walked around to the table to strike up a conversation.

Seeing that, Yoojin was flabbergasted.

She didnt know if that guy just had no shame or that he had a good personality.

Even so, he didnt seem like a bad guy from how he ended the conversations on a good note.

He was an overly cheerful guy.

Yoojin was satisfied with her evaluation of him and nodded her head.

“Looks like he wants attention.”

“I dont think thats the whole story.

If he really wanted attention, he would have kept going.”

“Really”

“Maybe he just likes people a lot, like, really a lot.”

Maru picked up his plate and stood up.

Yoojin, not wanting to be left behind alone on the table, also stood up.

Maru headed towards the desserts section as though he was about to finish his meal.

There were cakes, ricecakes and fruits all nicely displayed.

Yoojin gulped.

She could hold herself in against the temptation of meat, but the temptation of chocolate and bread was hard to resist.

She especially couldnt take her eyes off the chocolate fondue in a bowl, as well as the cute cookies and marshmallows next to it.

“One dip with that cookie is a hundred calories at least, right”

Maru spoke heartlessly from the side.

All this while, he was dipping cookies into the fondue.

“Im not eating it.”

“Itll melt in your mouth.

Though, it will also go straight to your weight.”

“Youre picking a fight, arent you”

When she glared at Maru with a frown, Maru suddenly held out the cookie sticks with chocolate sauce all over it.

“Wh, what”

“One is fine.

It says here that they didnt use flour to make this cookie.

And they say chocolate is good for satiety.

A little is good for the health, and the skin too.”

“....”

“Appetite is something like a balloon, so it will burst if its pent up too much.

You should at least give yourself a reward.

Also, youre too skinny.”

“How am I skinny”

Although that was her answer, her hands were already holding the cookie sticks.

Her eyes were fixed on the shiny chocolate.

It had been a month since she started her diet since she passed her audition.

She had endured that much so perhaps just one was fine

“It, its good for the skin”

“Youre gonna eat it anyway, so lets not worry about the details.”

“Itll be your fault if I gain weight.”

Yoojin took a bite out of the cookie.

At that moment she subconsciously gasped.

It felt as though all of her tension was loosened.

It felt as though something sharp pressing against her nerves had just disappeared.

“You shouldnt be so harsh on yourself.

Once others get worried about your health, it will no longer be a diet.

Stop losing weight.

Youll be much prettier that way.

I liked you better during the rehearsal.

If you dont believe me, you can ask my girlfriend.

Shes much more plump than you, but shes still pretty.”

“But she… doesnt gain weight even though she eats a lot.

And how is she plump This is why men are no good.

If shes plump, then the majority of people in this world would be obese!”

“Well, my girlfriend does have a good body figure.

And its not that she doesnt gain weight.

She swells a lot when she eats.

Its just that she exercises like mad.

Hm hm, shes my girlfriend but I gotta say, shes amazing.”

“You pervert.

Youre a huge pervert.

And youre hopeless too.”

“Men are all perverts.

Its just a difference of whether they show it or not.

Any man has a fantasy or two in his head.”

“I should just stop talking with you,” saying that, Yoojin had a look at her hand.

She had eaten the whole piece while she was talking.

Groaning, she hesitated a little before picking up another cookie and dipping it in the chocolate.

‘Forget it, lets have another one!

“I think two will definitely make you gain weight though.”

“Shut up!”

Seeing Maru shrug, Yoojin took a bite out of her cookie.

‘Im so calling her to talk bad about Maru, she felt that only then could she relieve her stress.

“...Still, its good,” only after realizing what she said did Yoojin shook her head.

Maru had already returned to the table first with a plate full of food.

He then started eating quietly by himself.

“Just what does she like about him….”

Although she mentioned that she would talk behind his back, it was usually nothing more than a joke.

It was more of a grumble than an actual insult.

Moreover, the topic changed to fluffy love stories most of the time.

Yoojin didnt particularly like talking about such things, but she always ended up listening to the end when she heard her friends lovestruck voice.

Last time, it was about the shoes.

Even though they stopped for just a brief moment, Maru had secretly remembered it and later bought it for her as a gift.

He even saidI picked them up on the way here, along with presenting it to her in beautiful packaging.

Yoojin, who heard the story, felt that it was childish, but she also felt that she would be very happy if she was in the same situation.

Honestly, she felt like Maru wasnt ordinary when he gave her a ring as a present.

She even thought that he might be a playboy.

She was at first worried that some bad guy was hitting on her, but she found out that she was worried for nothing after seeing how Maru acted.

He made the girls feel at ease with some jokes, but he never went beyond that.

Meaning, he never did things that might cause misunderstandings.

She understood this deeply when they were in the amateur actors class.

The only person Maru acted seriously towards was that girl.

It was so blatantly obvious so the other girls in the class never had other feelings for Maru.

He was so good at drawing the line.

It was easy to become his friend, but no one felt any feelings for him beyond that.

It was like that now as well.

Others might see that they were on close terms from how they acted, but as one of the involved parties, she clearly knew that Maru was keeping his distance.

It was only thanks to that she was able to talk comfortably with him.

Yoojin believed that a man and a woman couldnt befriends, but she also felt that Maru could make being friends possible.

They were in a relationship that was neither serious nor light, yet they were close enough that they wouldnt feel awkward after not having seen each other for a long time.

‘If I was to date anyone, it should be a guy like him, right

All girls dreamed of becoming the main character of their life.

Yoojin wasnt that different.

Perhaps adults would say that she was worried about unnecessary things, but 2nd year of high school was plenty grown up, no Also, Yoojin grew up listening to scary stories from other actresses thanks to her mother.

She considered herself pretty mature mentally.

Though, she didnt grow up entirely of her own volition.

‘Im something, still trying to become an actress after all that.

She was well aware of how underhanded, dirty and competitive this industry was.

However, once she had admired it, she couldnt take her eyes off it.

She wanted to become a top-tier actress even if it meant becoming controversial.

Perhaps this movie would provide her a foothold for that.

“What are you thinking about so deeply”

Suddenly, a voice called out from behind.

It was Jiseok.

“Whoa, that startled me.”

“It was that startling”

“It was.

Anyone would be startled if you come out of nowhere like that.”

“Im sorry if I startled you.

It wasnt my intention, haha.”

Jiseok took a step back with a smile.

He was unpredictable.

She wondered what kind of thoughts he had in his mind.

“The people here are all so interesting.

Places with a lot of people are always fun.”

“Youre something too.

Is it that fun just grabbing random people to talk”

“Yup.

Its immensely fun.

Its always been my dream to talk to as many people as possible.”

“Thats a rather small dream.”

“Right I think so too.”

It was that sympathetic smile again.

Yoojin pouted.

She felt as though she wronged him.

Jiseok immediately moved elsewhere and started chatting with other people.

“Hes a strange kid.”

Yoojin had a glance at the chocolate fondue before walking over to the table Maru was sitting on.

She was approaching the table when she saw that someone had arrived first.

It was a lady who had a body figure that made her exclaim out loud.

Her hair was thick purple.

The night dress with an open back didnt look inappropriate on her at all.

‘Who is it

Next to her, Marus expression wasnt that bright.

It didnt look like he detested her though.

It was his face when someone not particularly close to him approached him.

Yoojin saw that everyones gazes had gathered towards that table.

People started whispering amongst themselves immediately.

Yoojin walked towards the two.

Just at that moment, the woman sat down opposite of Maru, which was originally her own seat.

“So we see again here.”

The womans voice could be heard.

At that moment, Yoojin stopped her steps and widened her eyes.

This voice was familiar to her.

‘Dont tell me its…

Yoojin quickly walked forward and stood in front of her.

Then, she exclaimed out loud subconsciously.

An actress she admired was standing in front of her.

The lady general that only did pieces she wanted.

The proud woman that never bent to the force of the media!

“Do you two want to have a talk Ill get out of the way.”

Maru pressed the part between his eyes with his fingers and spoke.

Yoojin ignored Maru and stood in front of her.

“Unni, Im a huge fan of yours.”

That was Yoojins first line towards Joohyun, who had a smile on her face.
