Crashing Into You - Chapter 255

TAN JA NIN: We’re just apart from each other for just about 5 hours and you miss me already?

LEE JIN HO: What can I do, I always wanted to be with you every hours, minutes and seconds of my life?

Tan Ja Nin’s heart skipped a beat when she saw his reply and read his message over and over again.

Did he really miss her?

TAN JA NIN: I miss you too.

Her face blushed when she sent that message and waited for his reply. But she was already checked in at the hotel and was already lying on her bed but she did not receive any messages from him.

She sighed. She felt so happy earlier and could not even breathe when she read his message. Her heart was frantically panting because of it’s rapid beating. She looked at her wristwatch and it was almost 11 o’clock in the morning. Her phone on her hand suddenly lit up that it almost slipped from it because she was so excited to see the message.

But to her dismay, the text came from the production assistant telling her to come down to the hotel restaurant for lunch. She was quite disappointed for she had hoped that the text came from Lee Jin Ho. She got up from the bed and took her handbag. She went down to the restaurant to take her lunch.

….

Tan Ja Nin kept on looking at her phone while she was having lunch with the whole production team.

“Are you waiting for a call?” The adverstising agency manager asked her when she noticed that she kept looking at her phone.

“Now, I am having second thoughts if I should believe you when you said that you don’t have a boyfriend earlier. You look like a girlfriend waiting for your boyfriend’s text.” The advertising agency manager said teasingly.

She shook her head. “I really don’t have a boyfriend. I-I was waiting for my mom’s call.”

“If you’re waiting for your mom’s call and she haven’t called you yet then call her instead.”

Made sense. If she was waiting for someone call and he didn’t call her, why not give him a call anyway?

“Uhmm” she said. “I’ll call her after our lunch!”

The advertising agency manager smiled at her. “You must have a good relationship with your mom!”

Tan Ja Nin nodded and cut a slab of pork steak from her plate and stuff it into her mouth. She felt guilty for telling her all these lies.

“It tastes good right?” The advertising agency manager asked her to continue the conversation between them.

“It is.” She said.

The advertising agency manager was a foodie so their conversation had made a big turn. They discusses everything about foods until they had finished their lunch. She had forgotten about the text that she had been waiting from Lee Jin Ho momentarily.

…..

The shooting has started at exactly 3PM and they only had break in between takes. They were able to finish all the day scenes before the sunset. It was almost 8 in the evening when the production assistant told them that they need to come back at the hotel to have their dinner. Their location was just 50 meters away from the hotel and for just about 5 meters they already reached the hotel lobby.

“The boss of Shunshinati is really generous. Look, this is the first time that I handle a project that our lunch and dinner are all being taken at the hotel restaurant.” The advertising agency manager told her while they were having their dinner at the hotel reataurant. She was seated next to her again. She liked it thou because the advertising agency manager was a conversationalist and there was no dull moment if you were with her. She felt really comfortable being around her.

“I have met him once when we presented our portfolio to him and gosh he is so goodlooking. I’ve heard he got his degree at Harvard University so he is not just a man of good looks but with a good head on his shoulder too! Lucky is the girl that he is dating!” The advertising agency manager said. Her eyes were glistening as she talked about Lee Jin Ho. She had a crush at first sight when she first met him.

Tan Ja Nin almost choked and reached out for the water at the table to drink immediately.

It seems like the woman beside her has a huge crush on his boyfriend.

“But I don’t know if he has already a girlfriend. I tried to look online about the news about him and I couldn’t find any news if he is dating or not.” The advertising agency manager said. “Have you also met him when you signed a contract with them?”

Tan Ja Nin nodded.

“How do you find him? He is oozingly handsome right?”

Tan Ja Nin smiled. “I thought you already have a boyfriend why are you still swooning over him.”

The advertising manager giggled “What can I do, he is like a demi-god that were sent here on earth?. I am just daydreaming about him because that’s all I can do. With his status and looks, I am a no match to him.”

“Right, so stop thinking about him and concentrate on your boyfriend instead.”  Tan Ja Nin looked at the advertising agency manager and she looks fine to her. But of course she could only agree on her statement because she don’t want other girls to swoon over her man.

She was stunned.

Her man?!

“You haven’t answered me when I asked you earlier if you find him goodlooking.” The advertising agency manager told her.

“He is fine.” She answered.

“Just like that. He is just a fine to you?”

Tan Ja Nin was surprised with the advertising agency big reaction.

“Every girls on my team swooned over him when I show them the picture of him on his profile on Weibo. But take you, you only find him like just fine!”

Tan Ja Nin could not help but laugh “Are you his number 1 fan?” She asked the advertising agency manager.

“Yes, if he will enter the world of entertainment, I will definitely create a fandom for him.”

“He is not that handsome anyway!” She said, trying to discourage her.

The advertising agency manager snorted. “One day, I just don’t want to hear from you that you also fall for him, because I will laugh at your face.”

Tan Ja Nin hissed. “Fall for him?”

“Uh-huh!”

Tan Ja Nin lowered her head and absentmintedly looked at the foods on her plate.

…..

After dinner, they went to the next shooting location to shoot the last 4 four scenes. It was almost 10 in the evening. Tan Ja Nin looked at her phone before the shooting starts and was disappointed when she didn’t receive any text or call from Lee Jin Ho. The last text she received from him was during the morning when she sent a photo to him.

‘What can I do, I always wanted to be with you every hours, minutes and seconds of my life?’

‘I miss you already’

I miss you my foot!

If he really miss her why there were no texts from him after she said that she missed him too.

Hmp!

Men were naturally born liars!

And will just say things without meaning!

“Actors! Get ready! The film will start rolling in 2 minutes!” The director shouted that made Tan Ja Nin came back to her senses.

Tan Ja Nin momentarily washed away her thoughts about Lee Jin Ho and start immersing herself on her character.

The director was so happy because he never had to do many Take on the scenes and they packed up earlier by 1 o’clock in the morning.

Tan Ja Nin went back to her hotel room and thrown herself tiredly into the queen-sized bed. She looked at ceiling and she imagined Lee Jin Ho’s face on it.

She brushed her eyes with her fingers.

Her eyes was tired.

She closed her eyes and she saw Lee Jin Ho’s face again. She took a pillow and covered her head.

Why does she keep on thinking of him when he never thought of her for the rest of the day?

She did not receive any text from him again.

She knew that everything that he said to her this morning were all just lies but why does her heart still hoping to receive another lie from him?

Even if just a lie, she wanted to receive a text from him asking her ‘How’s your day?’ Or ‘Have you taken your lunch?’ Or ‘Did you have your dinner already?’ Or ‘Are you tired?’

But none of these messages were sent to her.

‘One day, I just don’t want to hear from you that you also fall for him, because I will laugh at your face.’ The words of the advertising agency manager rang into her ears.

Fall for him?

How can she fall for him, one day?

If she was already falling for him?
