Care Package

“Cut! Good job, yeorobun, let’s take a break,” PDnim said. 

They were on the set of Nam Ji Hyun’s current drama and the weather has been extra chilly the whole day. She put her puff jacket on and rubbed her hands.

“Jihyun-ssi, we did very well today,” Lee Joon Hyuk said, smiling at his younger co-star. “I do hope the weather improves though, I can feel the bite of the cold this early and it’s only 2 PM!”

“Yes, Joon Hyuk-ssi, I hope so too. We still have a few hours of shooting to go,” Jihyun replied.

“Jihyun-ssi?” her assistant called. “We need to go somewhere. Are you free?” 

Jihyun nodded and excused herself. “Where are we going? Did they change the shooting schedule?” She asked, walking fast to generate more heat.

“No, Jihyun-ssi, just the location. They want to see you to decide if you need to change what you’re wearing.” They were near the entrance of the set.

“Ok, kamsahamnida, unnie, for telling me. I do hope I…” she trailed off, upon rounding the corner and seeing a Churro King food truck parked at the entrance.

The sign on the truck read “Jihyun-ssi, Joon Hyuk-ssi, and all the staff: keep warm! I am rooting for you! Hwaiting!”

Jihyun turned to her assistant, her face breaking into a smile as she saw her unnie’s mischievous grin. “So this is the new location? Ya, unnie, that was sneaky of you.”

“Psssshhh. Let’s go see what we can eat, but first take a picture!”

Jihyun approached the person manning the food truck. “Annyeong haseyo, Nam Ji Hyun imnida,” she greeted, bowing deeply. “May I know who sent this please? I would like to thank him or her personally.”

“Annyeong haseyo, Jihyun-ssi,” the attendant said, leaning over to speak in a lower voice. “He said his name is Yul, and he wants you to have this as well,” he said, handing over a separate food box.

“Ah, kamsahamnida,” Jihyun replied, taking the box from the attendant. She lifted the cover and peeked inside to see her favorite macarons and a couple of tea bags.

“Wow, dongsaeng is generous, that he is,” Joon Hyuk said, coming up from behind her. “Oh, he told me he’s going to send something over,” he said kindly, noting the surprised look in Jihyun’s face. “And he said to keep it from you because it’s a surprise,” he added, eyes crinkling up with a smile.

“Ahhh that guy…” Jihyun said, smiling as she fought her blush from creeping up to her cheeks. “Let’s choose something to eat and drink!”
