Congratulations - Bogum
(Admin: Mitzy, this is not my greatest work, I hope that you still liked it anon)
You hold the award between both of your hands, bowing to the other actors around you. You brush your hair away from your face, taking your seat next to your co-star, Seo Kangjoon.
"Congratulations, you deserve it," Seojoon smiles, gesturing towards the trophy in your hands.
"I thought Song Hyekyo would win," you admit, "Encounter was really popular."
Kangjoon nods in agreement. A comfortable silence falls between the two of you as the show continues. By the time the show is over both you and him are ready to leave. You are stopped in the hall of the auditorium by another actor. You recognize him, anyone could, Park Bogum the "nation's boyfriend" titleholder. You are younger than him despite your earlier start in the industry.
"Congratulations on your award," he blurts, you smile gently humming.
"Thank you, I'm surprised you didn't get one yourself," you admit.
You look around realizing that Kangjoon had left you when you stopped to talk to Bogum. You let out a sigh, not that you expected your friend to wait, he had been complaining about wanting to leave for around an hour. He still could have at least mentioned that he was going to leave first.
"Something wrong?" Bogum asks looking around himself.
You shake your head: "Kangjoon isn't here, I was looking for him."
Bogum hums nodding his head, continuing to look around, in an attempt to find the odd-eyed actor. You pull your phone out of your bag laughing at the text Kangjoon sent you.
"He left, he said he'll take mt to lunch tomorrow to make up for not celebrating with me tonight," you laugh, turning your phone towards Bogum to show him the message.
"Sorry, did he leave because I stopped you?" Bogum murmurs, you shake your head.
"No, he's been ready to leave for hours now," you explain, brushing off his worries, "he doesn't like sitting in one place for a long time."
You can tell that there is another question on the tip of Bogum's tongue that he is pushing away. You can already guess what it is and why it is hard for him to ask. Both of you are actors, both of you get the questions of whether you are dating a co-star are not every time you film a new show. You let out a small laugh, hanging your bag on your shoulder once more.
"You don't have to be afraid to ask, we're not seeing each other, Kangjoon is friends with my older brother," you explain.
"I stopped you because I have been a fan of yours for a long time," Bogum admits, "I still feel starstruck speaking with you right now," the formality in his words feels foreign since he is older than you.
"You don't have to speak so formally, if anything I should be speaking with more formality to you," you trail off, "you're older than me," you remind, "I only started acting two years before you."
Bogum lets out a shy laugh covering his mouth with the back of his hand while he laughs. You hate eating alone and Kangjoon is not going with you anymore, it is awkward to ask Bogum. The words sit at the forefront of your mind, but it takes you longer to ask than you would like to admit.
"Since Kangjoon left me, do you want to get dinner with me?"
"Of course," Bogum rushes, "it would be an honor."
