Lee Dong-wook: whispers, looking at the painting I-I need to tell you something important! About that day, seven years ago.
listens carefully What do you mean?
takes a deep breath, stutters That... that day, I was the one who saved you. I heard about the kidnapping and I... I couldn't just stand by.
stares at him, shocked You were the one who saved me? How?
gazes into Persoge's eyes I followed the kidnappers, tried to blend in, and waited for the right moment to strike.
shakes his head, still processing I... I can't believe it. Why didn't you ever tell me?
runs a hand through his hair, visibly nervous Well, I didn't want to take credit for something that happened by chance, y'know?
smiles But still, it wasn't just a coincidence, was it? You noticed what was happening, you took action. You...you saved me. looks into his eyes And I've been noticing you ever since
blushes, stutters Y-you have? I-I mean, I didn't expect you to remember, after all these years...
laughs softly I remember every detail, Dong-wook. And I've always wondered why I never saw you again after that night. leans closer Maybe it's fate, bringing us back together here, at this art exhibition.
takes a deep breath, looks directly into Persoge's eyes Maybe it is fate, bringing us together again.
softly smiles Fate or not, I'm glad we met again. pauses So, tell me more about yourself. What do you do now, after all these years?
stutters, blushing W-well, um...I-I've been acting, actually. It's something I've always loved, ever since I was a kid.
eyes light up Really? That's amazing! Have you won any awards?
nervously scratches the back of his neck Y-yeah, a few... some small roles here and there, but I've been working hard, trying to make a name for myself in the industry.
smiles encouragingly You're doing great, Dong-wook. Keep following your dreams, and I'm sure you'll go far.
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage Actually, there's something else I wanted to ask you...
chuckles Alright, shoot. What's on your mind?
stutters nervously, blushing W-would you...like to maybe, um, go out with me? I-I mean, if you're interested, of course.
grins Of course, I'd love to. Let's start with dinner this weekend?
grinning from ear to ear, stutters excitedly R-really? Dinner this weekend sounds amazing! I-I promise I'll pick you up and dress nicely.
