Chapter Text
"Cut!" The director screams. "Nahara, Y/N, can you try to have a little more chemistry?"
"We're trying our best, Morga," I reply, frustrated.
"I'm a lesbian and he's gay," Nahara adds defensively.
Morga sighs. "I know. But if you can't act with each other, one of you is gonna have to go."
"We've been working for hours," I say. "Maybe that's contributing?"
Nahara nods. "I didn't have coffee this morning, either."
"Alright," Morga says with another deep sigh. "Go home for now. We'll reconvene tomorrow."
"Thanks, Morga," me and Nahara say at the same time.
She nods silently and we head out, both snagging piles of snacks from the snack table.
"Wanna have takeout at my place?" I ask. "I've got extra everything so you could even stay over."
"That sounds lovely, but my cats need food."
"I've got cats too, I could send you a car."
"You don't need to go out of your way," Nahara jokes.
"Nonsense, I insist."
"Alright, if you say so." She walks away smiling, her bag filled with snacks.
I pick up my phone to call my driver, but I have a couple missed calls that I decide to call back.
The phone rings a few times, then-
A female voice answers. "Hello?"
"Hi there, this is Y/N Y/L/N. I have some missed calls from this number and I wanted to ask about their purpose."
The voice gasps. "Um, hi! I'm sorry I'm being so unprofessional. Let me get somebody really quick."
A hand covers the receiver but it just barely muffles the screaming that follows. "He called back! Y/N called back!"
A slightly more muffled, male voice shouts "Oh my God! Is he on the line right now?"
"Yes! Get over here!"
"Hello," says the male voice clearly. "So sorry to keep you waiting, I'm sure you have many responsibilities to attend to. I'm Julian Devorak, President of your Fan Club. I know this may sound stupid, but we're holding a meeting that will be on Zoom and in person, and we just wanted to know if you could come and say a few words?"
"Well firstly, I'm glad to finally be hearing from the President of my Fan Club. Secondly, I would love to come by and say some words. If you could just give me a date and time, I can see if I can work something out."
"Thank you so much! The event will be on December 13th, from three in the afternoon to six in the evening."
"Ooh, I don't get out of filming until 5:15 that day. Where will the event be held?"
He gives me the address for the event.
"Shoot, I won't be able to make it there before 5:50. I could do a meet and greet immediately afterwards, free of charge."
He gasps so roughly that he chokes. "Seriously? A free meet and greet?"
"Well, we could ask for tips to donate to charity. I'll let you figure that part out."
"Of- Of course! Yes! I'll schedule that right away. Would you like it to be open to the public?"
"If possible, I would prefer that."
"I'll get right on it! Thank you so, so much. I won't let you down."
I chuckle a little. "Alright. Well, you have my number, so you can call or text anytime."
"Anytime? Anytime at all?"
"Obviously! You are President of my Fan Club, after all."
"O- Okay! Well, if you have any questions about the event or the meet and greet, you let me know. I'll text you later so that you can get my contact in your phone."
"Sounds good. Talk to you later, Julian."
He says "Yep. Bye." abruptly and hangs up.
