214 The Beginning of Something Big (1/2)

The set had become even noisier when she came out.

Mr. Choi was standing next to a good-looking man, seemingly discussing the script.

”Ah! You're done?” Mr. Choi exclaimed as he noticed the duo.

”Hello, Hyun Bin. It's been a while,” Mrs. Choi smiled, greeting the younger, good-looking man.

”Hello, President Park. It really has been quite some time since we last saw each other. You look as pretty as always,” the man cordially replied.

”Oh my, your mouth is as sweet as ever,” the older lady giggled, gushing over the younger man right in front of her husband.

Mr. Choi rolled his eyes at his wife, but did not interrupt their greetings. ”Gosh, my wife, how can you flirt with another man right in front of me?” He sighed deeply in faux-sorrow, causing the gathered people to break into amused smiles.

”And this is...?” The A-list actor, Yoo Hyun Bin, glanced at Yeo Ri curiously, his eyes lighting up. He examined her from top to bottom, nodding in appreciation. ”Really pretty,” he complimented.

”Ah!” Yeo Ri exclaimed, a blush rising on her cheeks.

It was Yoo Hyun Bin, standing in front of her, in the flesh!

She had never thought that a day would come where she could stand face-to-face with an actor that she had constantly seen across the screen. Yeo Ri felt so starstruck that she had forgotten how to function for a moment.

”H-hello...!” As soon as Yeo Ri caught herself staring at the man, she bowed her head in a fluster. How embarrassing! How could she act so weirdly in front of this super-famous celebrity, she inwardly berated herself. What would he think of her now!

Yoo Hyun Bin smiled at the familiar reaction. He knew what kind of effect he had on new people, especially girls. Finding the young girl adorable, he grinned, ”Hello!”

”Hyun Bin-ah, you remember that commercial that went viral the other day? She's the girl that everyone was raving about,” Mr. Choi, Choi Hyungsik, introduced.

”H-hello, My name is Lee Yeo Ri. Please take care of me,” Yeo Ri hurriedly greeted. Her heart thumped wildly. Her legs felt weak from the utter surreality of the situation. How did her life came to this point, she wondered. Just a few months ago, she was living with no direction, no goals, and no meaning, but now... she was facing a top star, in a professional movie set!

”Ah, that girl! My manager-hyung was literally going crazy trying to find out who she was,” Yoo Hyun Bin laughed. ”He's sick today, so he didn't come with me... this is great, I can make him cry even more. Miss Yeo Ri, do you mind if we take a picture?” He grinned naughtily.

”T-that would be my honour!” Yeo Ri readily nodded, her face still flushed. Usually, it would be her, as a fan, who would ask for a picture together, so this favour was truly not difficult at all.

Choi Hyungsik chuckled as he observed them. Clapping his hands twice to get their attention, he announced, ”Alright, you two can take all the pictures you want later. For now, let's get to work. In position, everyone!”

”””Yes~!””” the crowd replied in a cacophony.

”Do your best, Yeo Ri-ah. It's okay—Hyun Bin will take the lead so you don't have to be so nervous,” Park Soo Yeon encouraged her young protégé.
