‘Omma, what’s wrong?’
‘Anya, I’m just really happy for you. I know how hard you worked – not sleeping and eating and shooting in the cold like that. I worried about your health, really, I couldn’t even sleep at night. It looked like Shin Hye went through a lot, too. Just made me think about what you must have gone through,’ she replied, sobbing now.
‘Ya, your son is rarely home and you just cry in front of him,’ his Dad told his Mom.
Min Ho smiled and stood up to hug her. ‘Omma, gumawo. Stop worrying about me, okay? I’m fine. I’m always fine. I love what I do and there are people who take care of me very well,’ he told her warmly.
‘I know, I know. I just want to do more for you, that’s all. It’s difficult being Lee Min Ho’s omma.’
It's even more difficult to be Lee Min Ho, he thought.
After dinner, Min Ho went to his room and decided to just rest. He still felt weak and wasn’t really up to doing anything. He grabbed his phone from the table and lay on his bed. He browsed through his messages that were mostly from his manager but then he saw Bum had texted him an hour ago.
Bum: Hyung, I’m on my way to have dinner with Shin Hye. :)
Min Ho sat up straight and thought back to his conversation with Shin Hye that afternoon. Did she say anything about dinner with Bum? Oh yeah, she said she was meeting friends.
He typed.
Min Ho: Ah, really? Tell her I said hi.
When he sent it, he felt a pang of jealousy. He wasn’t jealous that Bum was with her, he was jealous that he could go out with her in public and not worry about rumors or scandals or angry fans. To add insult to injury, Bum was dating Moon Geun Young publicly – and he’s never seen him happier. He wondered if people would be as accepting if he came out with Shin Hye.
He sighed and resisted the temptation to ask where they were having dinner and make a quick drive by. ‘Anya. You have a lot of thinking to do. Stop being reckless,’ he said out loud and closed his eyes.
Shin Hye and her friends were laughing over Ara’s story about one of their shoots. She was having a great time, but at the back of her head she was still worried. She kept checking her phone and hoped that the others didn’t notice her being so on the edge. He’s probably sleeping, quit worrying and have fun, she told herself.
‘I remember one time, the boys were playing basketball during the break, and Woo Bin was so into it,' Shin Hye joined in on the conversation. 'He had a serious face on, while everyone was just having fun. Of course all the other actresses and female staff members were watching and cheering. When he was about to shoot, he made this fancy move – probably to impress the ladies – and he slid and fell on his butt. But the funnier part was, because he didn’t want to be embarrassed, he smiled coolly – but the pain was all over his face. We couldn't stop laughing! It even delayed filming. Remember, Ha Neulie?’ SHe chuckled.
Everyone continued laughing as Ha Neul provided more back story.
‘Oh. Shin Hye-ah, Min Ho hyung says hi.’ Bum blurted out. The others were too busy talking to hear Bum. But Shin Hye turned to him, confused.
‘What?’
Bum raised his phone. ‘Min Ho hyung just sent me a message. He says hi.’
Shin Hye’s mouth opened to ask again, but she already knew the answer. So he isn’t asleep. She instinctively looked at her phone. Still no messages. She forced herself to smile, ‘tell him I said hello.’
Bum smiled at her and typed. Shin Hye was bothered now. If Bum had told him that they were having dinner together, he should have messaged him or called. But he hasn’t. Is he mad at me? What did I do? She tried to convince herself that maybe she was just being paranoid. After all, it was her who told Min Ho to stop texting her all the time, especially when he was at work. But he wasn’t at work… at least she knew he had no work.
She bit her lip as she tried to recall if she said anything wrong when they talked on the phone.
‘Shin Hye. Ya. Shin Hye!’ Ara nudged her.
Shin Hye looked up at her in surprise. ‘Eh?’
‘I asked if Ha Neul made a fool of himself during filming. He must have, right? I mean, it’s in his DNA.’
‘Oh? No. I don’t remember. He barely has any scenes,’ Shin Hye replied nonchalantly.
‘BURRRRNNNNNNNN!’ Ara teased.
‘YA! Aish. Ya, Park Shin Hye! Do you want me to tell them all your funny stories? I was holding it in because I didn’t want you to be embarrassed, but if you’re like this…’
Shin Hye wasn’t paying attention anymore. She wanted to call him and ask what was wrong. But she didn’t know if she should. Is this pride? Ani. It’s worry. But who was she worried about? Him? Or if he changed his mind about her? It’s barely been a day, keep it together.
‘What’s wrong with you?’ Bum snapped her back into reality. They were all looking at her now.
‘Oh? Nothing. I was just thinking about my schedule tomorrow,’ she replied awkwardly.
‘Stop thinking about work,’ So Eun told her. ‘Do you guys want to go somewhere else? We could go to a bar,’ she suggested.
‘I can go, but I can’t stay long,’ Bum told her.
‘Ahh, I’m jealous. Geun Young must be waiting, huh?’ Ha Neul asked.
‘Anya. I just have an early appointment tomorrow. But I can stay for about 2 hours,’ he explained.
‘I’m game. Shin Hye, what about you? Want to drink?’ Ara turned to her.
YES. I want to drink. A lot. ‘If you guys are going, then sure,’ she replied.
‘You know I won’t refuse. Let’s go to Le Cox this time,’ Ha Neul said.
‘So she was sitting there, and I couldn’t stop looking at her. My manager even nudged me and said I was bordering on creepy already. But she was so pretty,’ Bum recounted. ‘So I came up to her and finally talked to her. I mean, we talked during script reading and all but this time, we had a real conversation. I was a goner after that..’
Shin Hye smiled the entire time Bum was telling them the story of how he won Moon Geun Young’s heart. She remembered filming for Heirs and all the times when Min Ho made her heart flutter. She suddenly missed him. She glanced down at her phone again.
‘Man… I wish I was cast for your role,’ Ha Neul frowned as he took a sip of his drink.
Ara hissed. ‘As if. Moon Geun Young is out of your league,’ she told him heartlessly.
Ha Neul glared at her. ‘You know, just because I rejected you before, doesn’t mean you should be bullying me,'
‘EXCUSE ME?’ Ara’s eyes were full of wrath and everybody started laughing.
'Look, I know all this sassiness is just to hide how much you really want me, but I can see through this charade,' he continued, casually sipping his drink.
Shin Hye looked at Ara whose mouth was open in shock.
‘That bet?' Ha Neul rolled his eyes. 'I’m sure you just wanted me to buy you a bag so you can have something to stare at longingly every night when you recall our moments together in college,’ Ha Neul smiled.
‘YAAA! Do you want to die?!’
‘Oh. You’re not denying it, though,’ So Eun teased.
‘Don’t start with me, So Eun,’ Ara turned to her now. ‘Bummie is here. Do you want me to tell him you had a crush on him when you were filming Boys Over Flowers?’
‘Ya! That’s not true!’ So Eun gave Bum a sideway glance.
‘It’s okay, I already knew. She confessed,’ he laughed as he drank his wine.
‘Ya, So Eun-ah, you’ve got guts!’ Ha Neul teased.
‘Stop lying!’ She whacked Bum with her clutch bag.
‘Don’t! I’m kidding, I’m kidding,’ Bum tried to block himself from So Eun’s hits. Shin Hye saw his phone light up as soon as he did, too. ‘Oh, I have a call. Wait a minute,’ he stood up and walked to the corner of the bar.
Shin Hye grabbed her glass. She honestly didn’t want to drink, but she was hoping it could loosen her up. She hasn’t stopped thinking about Min Ho since he messaged Bum. And he hasn’t contacted her yet, either. She looked at Ara and Ha Neul who were going at it. Some guests were still staring at their table, but they've been doing that since they walked in. Kure. I have famous friends. And I'm Park Shin Hye. Why am I being like this? She sipped, strengthening her resolve to stop being paranoid.
Bum sat back on his seat. ‘Is it okay if someone comes over and joins us?’
‘Geun Young noona? Moon Geun Young noona?’ Ha Neul asked excitedly.
Bum chuckled. ‘Ani. Lee Min Ho hyung.’
Ha Neul, Ara, and So Eun all looked at Shin Hye who was now wide-eyed. Omo.
‘Omma, what’s wrong?’
‘Anya, I’m just really happy for you. I know how hard you worked – not sleeping and eating and shooting in the cold like that. I worried about your health, really, I couldn’t even sleep at night. It looked like Shin Hye went through a lot, too. Just made me think about what you must have gone through,’ she replied, sobbing now.

‘I know, I know. I just want to do more for you, that’s all. It’s difficult being Lee Min Ho’s omma.’
It's even more difficult to be Lee Min Ho, he thought.

Ha Neul, Ara, and So Eun all looked at Shin Hye who was now wide-eyed. Omo.
