After a hectic load of work with all those shooting and interviews, I was tired. I wanted to catch some fresh air. So without letting my manager know I slipped out for a walk. All dressed from top to bottom so that no one could recognize me. Sometimes I think to myself, why I had to become an actor. I walked keeping my head down until I reached a place with a very little crowd or I could say the streets were empty. I took off the mask and cap I was wearing to hide my face, taking in the breeze that was flowing.
I could smell all sorts of cooking coming from the surroundings but still it felt nice to be free. I have almost forgot how it felt to be free. I walked deeper into the streets. As I went deeper I saw a guy lean and thin and tall but not more than me in black trench coat walking with a backpack. Another guy was tailing him, I saw a knife on the guy tailing the one with backpack. I decided to ignore as I kept on walking slowly behind them. The guy one who was tailing took out the knife and started closing the gap between them.
I ran towards them as I got hold of the guy with backpack and started to act friendly with him. As soon as I kept my hand on his shoulders he swung the bag at me hitting me hard on my face.
"Who are you?" he asked me panick in his voice.
"Aish" I said.
"Why are you following me?" He asked me again.
It really hurt me so bad. I saw the other guy running away with the corner of my eye. I looked up to face the guy. As soon as I looked towards him I felt helpless. He was damn gorgeous. His face small and perfectly formed. Those eyes of him piercing into me in panick. I could see fear in his hazel grey eyes. I didn't even realise when I started walking towards him. As I neared him our eyes met each other as he kept on walking backwards as I neared him. He reverted his eyes away as I came closer to him.
"What do you think you're doing? Don't come closer or else I'll hit you again" he said still taking back steps.
I kept on going closer and the next moment I knew was getting hit by his bag once more as he ran as fast as he could deeper into the street. I ran behind me. He entered into a gate as he locked it giving me a look and rushed into the house.
I don't know what came over me, I wanted to see him again and if possible get to know him talk to him.
After sometime I walked back to home. I took a shower and got in pjs and sat on the edge of the bed still thinking about the encounter. My head still hurting from the hit. It let me think what could've been in his backpack that when it hit me it hurt like hell. It left me curious and kept me wishing for more of meeting him.
My head kept hurting. It swelled a bit. I took some painkillers and decided to visit a physician next tomorrow morning before my schedule starts.
Next morning I woke up to a head ache. The spot had swollen a bit more. Whwn I came out to have breakfast my manager looked towards me in concern.
"What happened to your face?" He asked me.
"Nothing much. A little bit of swelling" I answered.
"And where the hell did you go last night?" He asked annoyed.
"To get some fresh air" I said chuckling.
"When will you understand. You can't just go out. What if someone had recognised you?" He said fuming in anger.
"Ok. I am sorry hyung" I said trying to make a baby face.
"And how are you going to shoot today with that face?" He asked.
"I'll be fine" I said. "It can be covered with make up".
He gave up with a sigh.
"Anyway hyung drive me to the hospital. I have to get this treated" I said to him.
He nodded in reply. After we had breakfast I asked my stylist to get my clothes ready as I was getting my hair done. After it was all done I got in to the clothes that had been set aside by the stylist. After few minutes we drove away towards Seoul medical centre.
As my manager got us checked into the hospital. He led me towards the VIP cabin. People were following me asking for autographs. It was a lot of commotion. Once we were inside the room I sat on the bed and decided to lie down waiting for the doctor to come in. After some time a nurse came up to us.
"Are you ready to see your doctor Mr. kim Jung hoon?" she asked smiling at me.
I nodded and smiled back at her. After few minutes a guy in white coat I assumed was the doctor walked in his face looking to his followers maybe interns or something talking to them. As he entered he looked towards me.
"Annyeonghaseyo. How may I help you sir?" He said as his mouth stopped. He looked at me with a blank expression. His stature paused at the place where he saw me. A smile crept on to me as I saw him. His beautiful eyes looking towards me as our eyes made contact.
At that split second our eyes met, it send electric current through my body. He got his composure and said in a shocked voice.
"You?"
"What coincidence?" I said still grinning
"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked in panick.
"Is that the way to talk to a patient?" I asked him as I looked towards the nurse and other staffs with him.
He adjusted himself as he cleared his throat and he walked towards me.
"Doctor Park, do you know each other?" the nurse asked.
"Yes" I cut him off when he was about to say something.
"No" he said glaring at me. "We don't know each other".
"Now now now. Are we going to act like this ha?" I said grinning.
"Should I tell you, how we met?" I looked at the nurse and the others beside him eyeing them.
"Can you all please step out for a bit?" He said to them
They all nodded and walked out before giving me a look.
I eyed towards my manager indicating him to go out as well. After they left I looked towards him.
"I didn't knew doctors can hit someone like this?" I said to him pointing at the swelling at the side of my forehead.
"Yes we can, if the person is stalking him creepily" he replied back at me.
"Excuse me who was stalking you?" I asked.
"Obviously you" he answered back.
"Me?" I asked my voice turning up in a high pitch tone.
"Excuse me. You should be thanking me" I said.
"For harassing me?" He reverted back at me.
"There was a guy holding a knife following you. If not me you would be badly injured last night" I said.
"Keep telling yourself that" he said.
"Its the truth" I said to him straining on the word truth.
"Then why didn't I see anyone there beside you?" He asked.
"When you hitted me with your bag he ran away" I said.
As soon as I said that he went into thoughts maybe he remembered seeing something.
"Are you telling the truth?" He asked me sounding confused and embarrassed at the same time.
"Or else why would I come up to you?" I asked him.
"Don't know maybe you found me alone. So may be.." I cut him before he could complete cause I knew where he was going with that.
"Do you know who I am?" I asked him.
"Why would I know you? Are you someone famous or are you some superstar" He asked me back.
At that a small laugh left my lips.
"Why are you laughing?" He asked me.
"Are you sure you don't know me?" I asked him again.
"You look familiar but I don't think I know you" he answered looking at me confused.
"You know you have caused me big problem" I said to him smiling.
"How?" He asked.
"How am I suppose to go to shoot with this face?" I asked him.
"Please don't joke around, let me call them back" he said dismissing me.
He walked to the door and slide it open and asked them to come in.
"Can you please sit properly here?" he said gesturing towards a bed at the near end of the cabin. "I need to check your wound".
"Guys do you know who I am?" I asked them looking and smiling at them.
"Ya. Who doesn't know you?" The nurse asked back. He looked at the nurse confused getting a chuckle from me.
"Would you kindly tell your Doctor Park who I am?" I said to the nurse.
"Doctor Park, you don't know him?" Ome of the interns asked him looking at him shocked.
"No. Why?" He said to him.
"Seriously?" he said in a surprised voice.
He nodded no and looked at me confused. I winked at him. He immediately reverted his eyes from me, his face all turning red.
"He is a korean actor and a kpop idol member mostly featured in drama" nurse said.
As soon as the nurse said that he quickly looked up to me as if he just remembered seeing me somewhere.
Our eyes met again. This time he reverted away his eyes in embrassment. After that it was silence in the room. No one spoke nor him neither me or the nurse. He cleaned up the swelling before prescribing me medicines and asked me to get an x-ray. After it was done nurse went out with the prescription. He looked at the interns and asked them to go follow up on other patients. They all left, now only me and him was in the room.
"So?" I said.
"I am sorry" he said keeping his eyes looking down to his knees.
He looked so cute with red cheeks because of embrassment.
"I don't need your sorry" I said to him.
"Then?" He asked.
"You have to take care of me until this gets better" I said to him with a grin.
As soon as I said he looked up to me. Our eyes met again but this time he didn't reverted.
"What do you mean?" He asked me glaring.
"I mean what I said" I replied to him.
"Are you imagining yourself in a rom-com drama?" He said to me.
"So you do watch dramas?" I said to him smiling. "Then how come you don't know me?"
"Maybe you're not that good with acting or maybe you're not that famous"
"So you have seen me in a drama?" I said smirking.
"No" he said blushing. His cheeks turning beet root red. He looked down to his eyes trying to hide his embrassment.
"So what do you think about what I said?" I asked again.
"About what?" He asked.
"About you taking care of me".
"Not gonna happen" he replied.
"Then should I go to your seniors" I said to him grinning.
"What are you gonna do by going to my seniors" he asked.
"Don't know. Maybe tell them how you beat me and not even taking responsibility" I said to him smirking.
"Go tell them. I should also tell them how you harassed me" he reverted back glaring at me.
"Who's gonna believe?" I asked him. "Atleast I have this wound".
"I..." I cut him off.
"So should I go?" I looked at him.
Our eyes met I could see sincerity in his eyes. After sometime he nodded yes.
"What?" I asked him.
"Fine, I'll do it" he gave up.
"That's more like it" I said to him smiling.
"Give me your cellphone" I asked him handing out my hand.
"Why?" He asked.
"Just give me" I said to him.
He took out his phone from his pocket and handed it on my hand. At that moment our hands brushed with each other, literally very hair on my body stood up from that touch. I immediately took back my hand as I feeded my number into his and called on mine. After it got connected I disconnected and gave back his phone to him.
"That is my number" I said. "Make sure to pick it up whenever I call".
I gave him a last smile as I walked towards the door.
"Ah and once you get my x-ray call me if there is something" I said as I walked out the door closing it behind me.
After saying those words I walked towards the van as I had a shoot today. I was already late. We drove to the set as fast as we could. It was a whole lot of scenes that had to be shot today. Since the drama I was shooting was being liked by the netizen so the producers decided to extend it for another five eposodes. Currently we were shooting the last second episode.
It was around half past two in the afternoon. I was on a break. As my next shot was around three so, I was having coffee at my vanity van going through my dialogues. After few minutes my phone rang. It was a landline number. At first I ignored the call thinking it was some sort of spam call. But it kept calling for another two or three times so I decided to pick it up.
"Annyeonghaseyo" I answered.
"Annyeonghaseyo" came the reply from the other side.
"Who's this?" I asked in korean.
"Is this Kim Jung hoon?"
"Yes this me. Duguseyo?"
"Ah! I am calling from the hospital. I called to tell you that your x-ray reports are normal. So no need to worry" the person said.
"Is this Dr. Joshua?" I asked a smile playing on my lips.
"No. I am a resident. Dr. Park asked me to call you, he is a bit busy at the moment" he answered.
"Ok" I answered.
"Have a nice day" he said and disconnected the call.
I got disappointed. I really expected it to be Joshua. I decided to call him. As I was about to dail his number the director called me as it was time for my shot. I decided to call him afterwards and I went for my shot.
