New Character Unlocked

A lot of things are happening these past few days and after denying it for so long she couldn't hide the fact that she is greatly affected by all of it.

She's too tired to even deny that things around her are getting complicated.

The only thing that can she do is hope for a better day.

A brand new day sets for her, and everything feels heavy.

The only good thing today is that her shoot starts in the afternoon, so she has time to calm down and went back as fast as she could.

She doesn't have to worry about anything else but make sure that her eyes no longer look like she did a cry fest. Well, she did though. She couldn't deny that with either of them.

As usual, she never talked about anything after crying it out with Jun. She's too exhausted and drained.

She thinks it's just a waste of time to talk about her feelings with other people.

She sleeps the whole day thinking it would help her with the puffy eyes, but they got swollen more when she woke up.

"I hate my life," she said as Jazmine laugh at her cute remark. "Look at those eye bags I got from all the crying I did, and oversleeping didn't help at all."

She's complaining like she is the one who was having a hard time hiding those eye bags. "If you could stay still and let me do your makeup, then you would probably stop complaining by now."

Rana Mae has been in the industry for so long but she still hasn't learned the basics of makeup. "Remind me again why I need those?" pointing to the bunch of make-up and brushes in front of them. "My head hurts every time I see those pallets."

Jazmine is having a good time, she feels like she has an upper hand over her. "This is why you need me," Rana Mae nodded, making her eyes twinkle.

"I don't know how I will live without you," she said with a puppy eye. "Should I let you accompany me in every event?"

"You should," Jazmine is beaming with happiness. She's excited about her new experience.

She would want to come with her and meet new people. Even though she knows that not all in the industry are true to themselves just like Rana Mae, she is happy to meet them as well.

A production staff called her. Good thing is that she is already prepared. She went ahead as Jazmine cheered for her in the back.

Her scene today is about a man and woman who will meet by an accident and was destined to be with each other but in some foreseen events the world would not let them stay with each other.

Rana Mae sat in her character's favorite spot in the coffee shop and was busy writing her report for her work.

None of them could bother her until Shavinna sat in front of her without permission.

She looks at her with a question on her face, "I'm sorry to bother you but can I sit with you?" Trixie, Rana Mae's character could have said no, but to maximize her energy for work she simply nodded her head.

The woman in front of her keeps looking back like she was waiting for someone when an attendant came to their table, "Have you seen him today?" she said in a low voice just enough for Trixie to hear.

The guy leans forward and that earned a scowl from Trixie, "You don't have to go that close to a woman. Leave some space for her to breathe," both of them look at her but her eyes are still focused on the screen. "What are you looking at? Move."

Janna, Shavinna's character, could not help but smile at her. Trixie seems like she doesn't care even an inch, but here she goes and could not mind her own business. "Yes, Ma'am." He said apologetically to Janna. "I haven't seen him today."

But then, the door of the coffee shop opened and there he is, the guy they are talking about. "Trixie," the woman in front of them did not even raise her head but raised her free arm instead.

"What took you so long?" she said not removing her gaze from the screen. "I've been worrying about the client in the afternoon but here you are so calm and relaxed."

He sat beside her and took the laptop from her, that action shocked Rana Mae and she looked at him. He winks at him as he leans his broad shoulder on the couch like he's home. "Trixie, breathe first."

Rana Mae could not recite her line not until Shavinna kick her under the table. She looks at her and when she's back on the scene she took the laptop from him. "Would you please do as you promise? Treat me to some coffee and that chocolate cake or I'll punch you in the face."

"Okay, okay! Stop giving me that look," Ronnie, Eljin's character, stood up and went to the counter.

Janna and the waiter are still looking at her, "Are you talking about that jerk?" she said smirking. "He's nice and sweet but has no sense of time. He is also a flirt but if he loves he really does." Trixie stole some glances from her and smiled. "You are pretty. He'll like you."

"Aren't you her girlfriend?" she awkwardly asked.

Trixie raises her eyebrow at her, "Do I look like I like him?"

Janna isn't convinced, because how could she know him that much? "You don't like him?" she reiterated.

"I am his friend so basically I liked him as a person," she said still working on her laptop. She couldn't even throw them a gaze.

Janna didn't know how to respond, "She is married with her work. So she will never see my worth." Trixie simply rolled her eyes as she continues. "My friend here will never set her eyes on me."

"I should set my eyes on you or else you'll never finish your job," she sounds strict but she is smiling.

Ronnie sat down beside her as she helps her clean her mouth, "How can I even like a woman like you?"

She's dense, and everyone around them could tell that he likes her. But she's too naïve to believe that. "We should finish this now, Ronnie. Why are you wasting your time idling?"

Janna saw how his eyes twinkle whenever she smiles at him.

It's like his whole world depends on her happiness. She thanked them for letting her sit with them and went back to her office.

She owned the coffee shop, which is in front of their office.

As soon as the director's shouts cut, Rana Mae immediately stood up and went beside Jazmine who was waiting for her with bottled water.

Shavinna together with Eljin watches the scene, and they are both smiling satisfied with one take!

They are happily walking toward Rana and even before they could come near her, she excused herself.

Now, they understand what she meant by everything's going to be all right last night. If this is what she means, she should be ready for the consequence she will face.

Minutes later, Jun came with drinks and thanked everyone on the set for taking good care of Rana Mae.

The news about them being caught dating in the park hasn't been released yet. Since it's a process of letting the whole crew and production talk about them.

Shavinna and Jazmine knew nothing about this plan, and were confused when they saw Rana Mae and Jun about to hug but then realizes people are watching. Typical action from some artists who are trying to hide their relationship.

"They are not an artist for nothing," Jazmine commented laughing as she walks closer to them and shake hands with him. She did not mention anything about it, and just like what they want she's hiding the fact that she knows exactly what is happening.

Shavinna acted shocked as well and pulled Rana Mae excitedly, wow, what a great actress! "Things are going smoothly between you guys."

Rana Mae already caught them acting with her and smiled, "Your acting is so bad. Please do better," she even pats her on the shoulder.

She laughs viciously and caught everyone's attention while holding her mouth, everyone including Eljin is looking at their spot. "That's too much," Jun said laughing at her.

"Do you guys really want to make him believe?" none of them answered her that's why she continued acting like she was happy about something that cause a controversial talk inside the set.

Rana Mae shakes her head, "Jun being here is already an issue, Shavinna. Don't act on your own accord." Her best friend pouts at her making her laugh. "But I appreciate your help."

Shavinna and Jazmine couldn't hide the fact that this is not a good idea.

She's causing him too much pain!

"Why? It's not like he still feels the same way for me." Jun is the only one that laughs because they can practically hear the pain in her voice knowing he loves someone else.

Jun pats her on the head, making her scowl, "Our poor Rana Mae."

"Stop teasing her, Jun," Shavinna said smiling at her best friend who was trying to get herself busy with the thread hanging on her coat. "Look how she's losing her sanity on her own decisions."

The door opened, "Can I talk with Rana Mae alone?" all of them looks at Rana Mae. Looks like she didn't hear him. "Brianna Madelyn." that tone.

She shrugs her head, "Can we talk about it later, Jin?" she's not smiling. She looks at him begging him to give her some time to sort out her feelings.

He sighed, "I don't know what you want anymore, Rana Mae. You look like a different person to me."

"Do I really look different? Or do we just grow apart?" it's the same question she keeps asking herself. Because none of what's happening is making sense. "I left you already. I hurt you. What do you still want from me, Eljin?"

Her last question is like a knife being stabbed, "Why are you asking me that?"

"Because you are confusing me. It's like you want me back. It's frustrating! Why don't we live the life we have before we meet each other? Let's just do that, Eljin. Please," her eyes are about to cry, but she needs to hold back.

"Do you think I can do just that, Brianna Madelyn?" his stern voice is giving her enough chills in the spine.

"Eljin," she called her name longing. She misses him.

He smiled, "Okay. Let's do just that, Rana Mae."
