”Are they really coming?”

Having gotten her admission ticket, Amanda simply couldn't hold back her excitement, which made her ask her friend the same question repeatedly on their way to the broadcasting station. Were Kelley Coin and Yun Woo really coming to the set? Would she really get to see the taping?

”That's right,” Chris replied, also struggling to hold back a smile, much like all other audience members. His heart had been thumping even on the subway ride to the station. Having met online, Chris and Amanda would get together for concerts and various stage presentations at least once bimonthly. Upon discovering that they spoke similar languages and shared similar hobbies, they bonded quickly, and Chris harbored feelings for Amanda.

”You don't think Coin will storm out in the middle, do you?”

”Maybe. Honestly, though, I think it's worth seeing it at least once.”

”No! That means the taping will stop!”

”Well, what can we do? Nothing's free in life,” Chris said, putting his hands in his pocket.

Then, elbowing him on the side, Amanda said, ”What do you think Yun Woo will be like? Exemplary? Mature? Innocent?”

”Whatever he'll be, he'll be anything but boring. That's for sure. At least, he was in the magazine, anyway. I wonder what he'll be like in real life, though.”

”Do you think he's nervous? He's never been on TV in the States, and it's his first TV appearance in a long time. On top of that, he'll have Coin by his side.”

”It is remarkable, I'll tell you that much,” Chris said. Although he initially wondered what it would be like to be in Yun Woo's position, that didn't last long as he was struck by a suffocating fear of being away in another country.

”It's a scary thought, really,” she said. At which point, Chris felt somewhat validated by her.

”I don't think it'd bother me at all,” Chris said proudly and confidently for no apparent reason.

However, looking indifferent, Amanda said, ”You know what? I just can't picture Yun Woo getting nervous. I'd love to see it one of these days though.”

”We'll find out soon enough,” Chris replied, coughing awkwardly.

”I'm gonna scream from the top of my lungs as soon as they come out. What if we make eye contact?”

”Well, there go your virgin eyes.”

”I'm so anxious to meet Coin and Yun Woo!”

Since he was also looking forward to the occasion, Chris agreed with her silently, enjoying the fact that they were sharing that excitement together.

The audience erupted into cheers. Juho couldn't remember the last time he had heard it. Perhaps, that was why he was so caught off guard. Meanwhile, looking impatiently at Juho, Coin walked ahead. Following him, Juho recognized the green sofa on the set, which he had only seen on TV.

”This is crazy.”

The audience was shouting from the top of their lungs as the two authors appeared on set. Then, the host, who had been preparing for the taping, walked toward them, pretending to be taken aback by the explosive cheers.

”People love you guys!” the host said to them. Of course, his voice was being buried by the thunderous applause from the audience. A man with well-defined facial features, there was no awkwardness between him and the two authors since they had met prior to the taping.

”This is normal,” Coin said arrogantly. The host smiled naturally, but there was something about his smile that gave off an exaggerated feel.

”I'm sure it is,” Juho said. To which, Coin replied, ”I'll make it a goal of mine to expose that mundane life of yours.”

”Mundane? I worked hard to get here.”

”Looking forward to it, you two,” the host said. Looking intently at the young author, who was talking to Coin, the audience was anxious to know what the three were talking about.

”Ready?”

Juho turned his head and looked toward the person to whom the voice belonged. It was the host, who had been hosting the show for over a decade. Juho recalled having seen him on TV, hosting a film festival.

”Good to go.”

”You don't seem nervous, Mr. Woo.”

”It's not like I'm alone.”

At that, the host narrowed his eyes and looked toward Coin, who was standing next to Juho. Coin's presence wasn't exactly the most comforting.

”What are you looking at?”

”Oh, nothing. I'm just really looking forward to this interview.”

”Is that so? I'm bored out of my mind already.”

”C'mon, Kelley. You have Mr. Woo here by your side.”

”It's not like he can make the cameras in front of me disappear.”

”No. There would be even more cameras around with Mr. Woo on set. In fact, that's exactly what happened.”
