Woosung eventually gave up on his beloved kimchi fried rice and left abruptly. Judging by his passport-related grumbling, it seemed like he was heading overseas… I didn’t care to know and just hoped that he wouldn’t become B.F.F with Lim Hyeonsu or (especially) Kim Heeyeon.

“Hello~.”

“Ah! Seo Hoyun.”

On the other hand, the shooting went smoothly. Everything else was not going my way, so I headed to the shooting site in a bad mood. At least the staff welcomed me warmly.

“You came today, too! You don’t have any shooting today, do you?”

“Haha, there’s one scene. I came a bit early to study as well… That must be heavy, let me help you.”

When I took half of what the staff was carrying, they were obviously happy. Yeah, I know, I’ve moved a lot of these… They’re really heavy.

“Is there anything I can help with?”

“You bring happiness just by showing your face, Hoyun…”

“…Ahaha.”

I often showed up at the filming set, so the staff seemed to be a bit more open to me, and I took the opportunity to throw in a bait.

“Min Jiheon-sunbae is filming today, right?”

At this point, I should be able to hear the staff’s gossip about the stars and their bad behavior.

Pretending to be innocent, I cleverly baited the question, but the staff just gave me a bright smile and a thumbs up.

“Yes! Today was also a huge success! Min Dajung did what Min Dajung does.”

“…Min Dajung?”

“He’s so nice that she got that nickname![1] Even after he’s done filming, he would ask the staff how they were doing…”

I decided to cut off the conversation as it wasn’t going anywhere productive.

Ding!

[Unlucky, huh?]

I admit that.

I was about to leave after simply chewing on the message, but Min Jiheon was approaching me with an unusually bright expression.

“Hey!”

“…”

I had an ominous feeling and tried to quickly escape, but I failed. Darn it.

Ding!

[Have a nimble day!]

Alright, got it.

The system window was well aware of Min Jiheon but couldn’t take a picture, yet it was so good at nagging me.

The staff who had been moving the props had already gone off to their next tasks, so no one was around. Min Jiheon just grinned as we spoke openly. I even felt like there were sparkles around him, and, though I didn’t know why, I could tell he was in a great mood.

“Why are you so happy today? It’s annoying.”

“Um…well, you see.”

He held a different kind of hotdog in one hand, a total of five, and a cup of coffee in the other.

As I stared at him, Min Jiheon scanned me up and down and then blurted out nonsense.

“Are you a rabbit??”

“…What the fuck?”

I asked back in disbelief, but Min Jiheon just took a big bite of his hotdog and continued his nonsense with a “Don’t you think you look like one?”

Somehow, I quickly pushed Min Jiheon aside and walked briskly towards the crowd where the manager greeted me in a fuss.

“Hoyun, surprise~!!”

“…?”

“Here! Take this!”

“Manager, what on earth is this?”

“Hurry up, stand over here!”

Feeling bewildered, I took the coffee. As I looked down, I saw a huge picture of my face on the cup holder, and below it was a sentence.

“’Please take care of our rabbit’…?”

And at the very bottom, in a corner, I saw small letters that read “From, the kids.” I muttered, feeling a bit unsettled.

“I don’t remember getting married and having kids.”

“The members used the money they got from the settlement to send a coffee truck! Isn’t it amazing?”

Instead of feeling any other emotions, my mind quickly calculated the cost of the coffee truck.

Well, if they each chipped in, it wouldn’t have been that much… But why bother sending this?

“Leave this kind of thing to the company.”

“The kids kept insisting. They said they’d use their own money.”

“They’re still so naïve… This is the time to brazenly use the company’s money.”

“Hey, I can see you’re already feeling proud.”

Feeling embarrassed by my manager’s words, I touched the corner of my mouth.

Well, it was touching.

I took a picture in front of the coffee truck and sent it to the group chat.

– Me: Why are you all doing this?

It hadn’t been long since I sent the message when I got a reply.

– Kang Ichae: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋSeo Hoyun must be so embarrassed, right?

– Kang Ichae: He can’t be honest today either, can he?

– Jeong Dajun: ㅋㅋ Oh ㅠㅠ Hyung… At times like this, we have to revive your spirit with “money”ㅠ

– Kang Ichae: We’re not lacking in attendance, but money~~

– Jeong Dajun: ↑ This one too ㅠ

– Kang Ichae: Jun, I’ll wire you money with my playful sideㅜ

I ignored their bickering. Soon, a more productive message came from my same-aged friends.

– Seong Jiwon: We split the cost, so it didn’t cost much!

– Seong Jiwon: Is the coffee okay? Does it taste good?

– Kim Seonghyeon: ㅋㅋㅋ Let’s just say thanks

I sent a message saying it tasted good. I hesitated a bit, but I also added a thankful emoticon and closed my phone.

Well, it was okay to accept this much. After all, it’s just one day for the food truck, and the coffee truck would only cost a few hundred thousand won.

…That was a mistaken belief.

I was speechless as I looked at the coffee truck that came every other day.

[OMG guys, Seo Hoyun got a food truck
