Light steps led the writer across campus as his brain whirred and buzzed with all the ideas he’d been carefully curating. Since the drama club had reached out to the creative writing department for a collaboration Sunwoo’s usual cogitations had easily slipped into overdrive. He’d never have the time to write half the piece idea’s scrawled across five notebooks, but that wouldn’t stop him from trying. Though, he had made the concession to only bring one with his most favorite plots secreted in its pages along to the meeting with his partner.
No matter how much thought he’d already put into the writing, ultimately, he’d never get the right formula without meeting the actor himself. Sunwoo adored working with others and considered bouncing ideas off of someone else a deeply exciting and vital part of most creative endeavors. Unfortunately, outside of class assignments, he didn’t get to do it very often.
Nose twitched at the heady aroma of roasted coffee beans and sugary delights as he approached the little café where they’d agreed to meet. It was probably for the best. He walked right up to the counter and ordered an espresso to make up for the hours of sleep he’d missed with his brain too busy to relax. Unused to sleep deprivation, one might be able to forgive him for walking right past the actor while sipping his drink, but the familiar bars of music hummed by a charming voice had Sunwoo freezing where he stood. Head tilted to the side, the freshman focused and soon found himself humming along before nipping back a few steps.
When dark eyes landed on the source he exclaimed, “oh! It’s you, hello!” Sliding into a seat he dipped quickly in greeting. “Is that Oh My Girl? I love them!” Fingers hunted through his bag to withdraw his supplies and set them out on the table before him. “I do hope you haven’t been waiting long.” While the freshman was usually early, there was the chance on such a distracting occasion he might’ve missed the mark. “I’ve been so excited I’m a bit surprised I managed to do anything else at all today.” Flashing his typical beam, Sunwoo knitted fingers over his notebook and regarded the other warmly. “So, can you tell me a bit about what roles or stories you find most interesting?”
