Chapter 39
You entered the room where the swimming pool was dressed in a maid outfit that Sai managed to get for you, in order for you to have access all over the hotel as a worker of it.
You swiftly pushed your cart at the corner of the room where your other supposed coworkers had placed many others, filled with food and drinks for the filming crew, as requested by the company, as you got informed. This was supposed to be their last filming for the night and a very intense scene was going to take place in this very room, as you heard some stuff gossiping about it out of excitement.
Unfortunately for them, however, not many were allowed in the room, but the general manager of the hotel who had expressed his desire to see the filming process and one staff crew that was to look after any requests the director may have, and you surely were planning to be that one worker that stays around, so when the director asked for the place to be cleaned, you just pretended to fix something at the wheels of your cart, making the other two coworkers hurry out instead, leaving you the only hotel staff member inside this vast pool room.
A sigh of relief left your lips as you stood straight again and left your eyes to travel around, in search of Jungkook's manager to whom you have been referring to for so long as the elevator guy. " I need to find that guy's name." You thought as referring to him like that sounded a bit ridiculous especially now that you could easily find his name and so you did, by taking out your phone and googling the name of the actor Jeon Jungkook and searching who he had as a manager.
"Ho DuHo" You read his name and you pursed your lips for a moment, as you tried to pin the name in your brain and not forget about it, then you put your phone away and continued your search for the individual, till your eyes finally took notice of his figure, standing by the side of Jeon Jungkook, who you did not recognised at first glace, mostly because of how much different he looked.
Dressed in a black leather jacket, with his hair styled upwards, revealing his undercut and some intense dark make-up, that made him look quite fierce, contrary to when you had seen him at his hotel room, on his white robe, with his hair all over his face. One thing surely remained familiar on him however and that was his serious expression as he was listening to a man that you assumed to be the director.
Your eyes left them soon, looking around the room, in an attempt to find yourself a better position. One where you could be closer to the elevator guy but not close enough to fall in his notice cause if he was to see you, he most likely would recognize you. While doing that however something suspicious fell to your notice. Up, on the semi half-floor that laid at one side of the room, on a sunbed, stood a woman dressed quite fancily, wearing sunglasses as if it was the middle of the day and the sun was hitting her.
What was weird about her was not her attire as many rich people may go around in this hotel but what caught your eye was that no people were up there but her. She could be a guessed that may have paid to see the filming but if that was so, the general manager of the hotel would most likely have someone accompany her if he would not have done so himself and stand beside her, instead of being on the bellow floor among the other staff crew as he was.
The voice of the director that shouted to get on stand by drew your attention away from that woman and the actors hurried to take their places before the dump slate filled the room that grew quiet with its sound. Jungkook stood at one side of the pool and the other male actor stood at the other, and they both started walking towards each other simultaneously while giving some serious stares to one another.
Once the two came face to face, they halted their steps, fire, and malice being embodied in their gazes as they stared at each other in a silence that started growing uneasy for the ones witnessing it, even though it was just acting. The director's face was glued on his screen watching very carefully the scene unfolding, as he was having high expectations of this moment.
"You dare appear before me?" The guy spoke between gritted teeth as he puffed his chin towards Jungkook and he broke his lips to a smirk, leaving a scent of arrogance travel in the air.
You couldn't help but think of him as a good actor at that moment even though you were not aware of what characteristics his role consisted of, he sure was pulling it of very well. To the point that it made the people that were observing the scene, get emerged in it and forget that it was not real.
No wonder he is one of the top actors of this country.
"I dare do more than that," Jungkook replied and without a split hesitation, landed a punch on the guy that was standing before him, making him fall on the floor. The director shouted at that moment, bringing the scene to a pause, and a female rushed by the man that was down, applying some make up at the side of his lips along with a drip of fake blood, then over the director's order, they continued filming, from exactly where they had left it.
Jungkook walked to the man and grabbed him by his collar, bringing him to face him and the man smiled at him, despite his injury. "This bastard really things that can mess with me, huh?" He said before headbutting Jungkook and getting out of his grip. An action that made the direct shout cut, and scolded the actor for the collision of their heads didn't come out realistic enough.
You felt a bit of sympathy for the man, as you found the words of the director a bit harsh on the tone but he didn't seem to be bothered by it and instead the just got ready again to film the part from where Jungkook grabs him by his collar for a second time. The scene unfolded properly this time or so you assumed since the director did not stop the filming process and Jungkook with the other male actor, acted on their argument which definitely was an action scene.
Their fight sure was entertaining to watch, especially at the part where Jungkook seemed to be winning and had the man on his back by the edge of the pool, his head hanging above the water as his face no longer looked as confident as prior. The scene was cut there once again as the director asked for the cameramen to get ready for the pool scene and check the cameras they had implanted in the water.
As Jungkook and the other actor were standing on stand-by, the man suddenly excused himself as he had a human need to use the restroom and that delayed the filming a bit more than planned, as the man did not return despite the fact that ten minutes passed. The director demanded someone to go look after him as he stood on his chair monitoring the material he had gathered so far and Jungkook just stood aimlessly at a corner of the room, leaving his eyes to roam around while he was waiting. Never imagining that he was to lock eyes with you -as you were in the other corner of the room-.
He couldn't help but find you familiar for a brief second then he remembered where he had seen you and he sure did not hesitate to approach you, making you panic a bit upon realizing that he was coming to speak to you.
"You are the maid from Letoile Hotel, right?" He raised his eyes as now stood before you and you proceeded to give him a proper bow before admitting to his guess.
"Yes, I work here too." You lied as he had no way of knowing that you weren't speaking the truth and surely it was no crime to have two jobs and cover two shifts.
"Oh, what a coincidence. Nice seeing you nonetheless. "He smiled, looking almost pleased that he happened to come across you. "How did you found my acting so far? You said you weren't a fan of me last time we met."
"Oh well...You are obviously pretty good at your job." You replied while having a feeling that your statement back then may have ticked his ego a bit.
"Not good enough for you to say that you became my fan after this, though." Jungkook tilted his head to the side as he spoke, a polite smile on his lips which left you with no choice but to return that smile to him, despite the fact that you couldn't help but be a bit awkward about it and unsure why he had approached you.
Was that really all he wanted to say or had he mayhaps seen you that night when you were pretty much spying on him at the balcony? The thought only made you unsure of the vibes his smile held.
"We are back! Sorry for the delay!" The voice of the actor broke your worry as it drew Jungkook's attention away from you for a moment, but he still looked towards you and told you to enjoy the scene before taking his leave and going back to doing his job.
Your interaction with him had left you quite uneasy over the possibility of him knowing that you are on to something but the past was not the only thing you had to worry about but it was the present and the stare full of hatred and jealousy that that woman seated at the sunbed was giving you, behind her black shaded glasses.
---To be continued...
