//c_B+15 000010:#RECEIVE; 000020:Good morning! 000030:#CALLBACK; 000040:Hello? Was it a busy morning for you, honey? 000050:#START; 000060: 001;Did you call that friend of yours? 000070:Oh...you mean Yuri? She didn't pick up. Guess she's sleeping. But it'll soon be time. I'll just wait a bit more. 000080: 002;Are you on your way? 000090:I'm already at the station! 000100: 000; 000110:It's been so long since I found myself at a subway station. I almost got lost in the middle. 000120: 001;Subway? Why did you choose to disregard the bus today? 000130:Remember we discussed the weather in the chat room before? The wind is howling outside... 000140:I figured my hair will be ruined if I use the bus on a weather like this. Hence I decided to use the subway for once. 000150: 002;Are you sure you'll get there in time? 000160:I think I've got enough time. 000170:The hair-dressing part did take some time, but I won't be late. 000180: 000; 000190: 001;I thought you don't really care about the way you look... 000200:This time I took some care. Since now I know my friends are getting married. 000210:And I was invited for catch-up for once. So I really shouldn't go out there wearing a hoodie and a dreadful face beneath. 000220:Plus Yuri's going to give me a job... So I should wear appropriately. 000230: 002;Send your love to subway - more punctual than bus! 000240:What's that, honey? You totally sounded like an ad. Hehe. But bus station lies closer to my house than subway! 000250:On my way, I saw how there was construction taking place at the entrance. So I had to take the long way, but I ended up getting lost since I rarely walked that way. 000260: 000; 000270:##073_40 000280:Every passerby is holding an umbrella. I'm so glad I listened to you and did just the same. 000290:## 000300:##073_50 000310:Looks like the weather is unusual after all. Everyone except me has an umbrella. 000320:I hope it doesn't rain... 000330:## 000340: 001;Then what's your plan once you see Yuri? 000350:I guess we'll just eat...and talk about my job? I guess that's it. 000360:Yuri said she's busy today. I don't think there will be anything more. 000370: 002;You should ask her everything you need to know while you're at it. 000380:Gotcha. I should jot down questions before I see her. 000390:Since she might be too busy getting ready for the wedding... 000400: 000; 000410:About making film trailers... Years ago, I never thought Yuri would make a career out of this. 000420: 001;How come? You didn't think she's the type who would work with trailers? 000430:Well, when I first heard about it, I did think it's not really surprising. She was a really fast worker. 000440: 002;You never know what the future is like... 000450:You're right. Some people are now working on something completely irrelevant to their majors, and some of my friends are now working on something similar but different from films... 000460: 000; 000470:Just because you majored in film doesn't mean you will become a director or an actor. But Yuri was really good at directing. She also had these keen eyes with scenes. 000480:So I guess deep inside I had no doubt she'll work with films. 000490:Oh, speaking of which, I didn't ask her how demanding the work is or that the schedule is like... But since it's editing video, I guess it will be demanding... 000500: 001;Honey, you're too occupied with work. When you see her, tell her congrats for the wedding! 000510:Oh, that's right. I have this comment in mind to congratulate her. It includes something about Doyoung, so I'm going to make sure I deliver it to her well. 000520: 002;Do you think you'll get busier? 000530:Umm...I think we'll have to wait and see. It'll depend on the atmosphere of the company or the supervisor I'd get to work with. 000540:I'm not worried about the job itself. It'd always be people that provide the difference. 000550: 000; 000560:Oh, here comes the train, honey! 000570:I really shouldn't talk out aloud in subway, so let me call you again later. 000580:Hope you have something good for lunch! Love you! //c_L 000590:#RECEIVE; 000600:Hehe, darling! 000610:#CALLBACK; 000620:Oh, hey, sugar! 000630:#START; 000640: 001;Are you done talking with Jay? 000650: 002;I thought you had loads of questions. That was fast. 000660: 000; 000670:Well...I did call him, but he hung up right away. So we didn't get to talk. He said he's busy with his work these days, so I guess he was working right now. 000680: 001;But isn't it lunchtime? 000690:Yes, but if you have something else to film, your lunchtime is bound to be messed up... 000700:I wish I can tell you something that can cheer you up. But looks like I have only boring work to share with you. 000710: 002;Hmm... That's weird... I'd thought he's your close friend.. 000720:Huh? No - we're so close! Hehe. 000730:Jay said he's busy these days. I'm sure he'll call again. 000740: 000; 000750:But that ended sooner than I'd thought... 000760:Originally I'm supposed to work on my scenario here. There are so many things to see nearby. 000770:But I should go home now. The weather's bad. 000780: 001;That's right. You've got tons of things to do! 000790:But why do I feel like this is such a shame...? I guess I don't want to go back home alone. 000800: 002;You said it's raining heavily. Are you going to be okay? 000810:I don't think so. I'll end up home all wet. Hehe. 000820: 003;I wanna be back home, too... 000830:You're not done with your schedule, are you? 000840:Don't work too hard. You should take a break from time to time. 000850: 000; 000860:I think I feel so relieved now. I was worried I won't find any part-time. Thank god I found one on video editing. 000870: 001;Yes! Thank god! 000880:You're right. I mean, I'm really familiar with this task. I'm going to talk to Jay to hear some more about it. 000890: 002;What's the working environment like? 000900:I'm gonna have to pull an all-nighter a lot, which I'm prepared for... But it'd be best to ask Jay. Hehe. 000910: 000; 000920:Oh. According to Yuri, it'd be pretty liberal if you do what you're supposed to. 000930:Yeah, as long as I stick to the deadline... Which is actually a challenge. 000940: 001;If you think you're good at it, you should consider making it non-temporary. 000950:Hmm... Nah. The reason why I said yes to this job is that it's temporary. 000960:Once I start working full-time, I won't be able to work on anything else... I'm going to make my indie film real no matter what. 000970: 002;I'm worried we won't get to talk a lot... 000980:That's what I was worried about... 000990:The goal for this part-time is no working overnight and pulling all-nighter! And constantly keeping in touch with you. I'll try my best, hon. 001000: 000; 001010:It feels like everyone is working full-time except me. I'm basically the only freelance. Once this movie project is over, I should really settle down with my career. 001020: 001;What's Jay's occupation again 001030:Jay? Oh... Maybe I didn't tell you. 001040:He's an assistant director. He's got tons of work these days, and he's making it so obvious that he's busy... 001050:But as a freelancer, I'm kind of jealous of him. 001060: 002;That's the difficulty of living as a freelance... 001070:I know, right? 001080:##000_03 001090:Of course you also know about the hardship of freelancing... 001100:It's an unstable job. Since you're not gonna be busy at all times. 001110:## 001120:Right now I'm working as a freelance before I really start my career, so there's nothing I can do about it. But once I make my own movie, I'm going to really start thinking about my career. 001130: 000; 001140:Still it's much better than working part-time on something that has nothing to do with my career. 001150:I'm really tired when I'm back home from work, and I felt like I'm one step behind making up for the movie-watching and studies I've been missing... 001160: 001;Yeah, from now on you should look for jobs in this area. 001170:Right... It'd be best to find something that can make me money and add more experience for my resume... But the problem is it's so hard to find one. 001180: 002;You have to keep in touch even if you're busy studying! 001190:Of course I will! I'll talk to you whenever I can. Hehe. 001200: 000; 001210:Oh, hang on, honey. Jay just called me. 001220:Let me call you later! See you at dinnertime! //c_N+20 001230:#RECEIVE; 001240:Oh, hello? 001250:#CALLBACK; 001260:Honey...! I'm so glad you called. 001270:#START; 001280: 001;Did you drink? 001290:Yeah, but I didn't drink a lot. 001300: 002;Did you see Jay? 001310:Yeah, we had a nice drink. 001320:Huh? No, wait. We had a nice chat... I heard you wrong... 001330: 000; 001340:Ugh...... 001350: 001;Are you okay? 001360:Yeah... I'm not drunk. I'm just a little dizzy. 001370: 002;You're drunk.... 001380:Aww, no I'm not...! I didn't drink a lot. 001390:##013_24 001400:Oh, right. You don't drink... Maybe you don't like the way I sound right now. 001410:But don't worry. I'm really fine. 001420:## 001430: 000; 001440:Jay's become better in speed drinking. 001450:..How in the world can he drink so fast? It was impossible to catch up to him. But I did keep my drinking pace. 001460: 001;How much did he drink? 001470:I think his alcohol allowance doubled. I told him I had to take control since I have to get ready for tomorrow, but he told me so does he. And he basically chugged his glass. That was a shocker. 001480:Wouldn't that affect his work tomorrow...? 001490: 001;You'll work better when you're drunk.... 001500:You work drunk....? Is that possible? 001510:Though it does work when you're drunk, don't you get to find out the next day that what you created is actually a mess...? I think I'll end up like that... 001520:##013_21 001530:Oh...that's right. You're strong with alcohol. Hehe... 001540:## 001550:...Still I really should take good care of my health. 001560: 002;When you're drinking, it's time to enjoy! Think about work tomorrow! 001570:Honey, I'm glad you draw a clear line between your working life and personal life... 001580:But you don't get a new body every day, do you? 001590:Hah... But I really wish that's the case. I wish I get a new body every morning. 001600:##000_02 001610: 003;Me too young! No idea what you mean! 001620:That's right. You shouldn't copy something like that. I'm not going to introduce you to Jay...... 001630: 004;I'm never going to be an adult like him. 001640:That's right. Good choice. That's a really bad drinking habit. 001650:Once we get to drink together, let's keep a proper drinking manner. I'll tell you about it one by one. 001660:## 001670:##000_03 001680:||##000_04 001690:||##000_05 001700: 005;Life is short! Just drink! Chug! And die! 001710:Should I?! 001720:Haha, I'm not gonna drink that hard. I should call or message you every day... So I should avoid getting too drunk to do that. 001730:## 001740: 000; 001750: 002;Come on - I know you can drink better. Show him what you're made of!! 001760:Please don't try to kill me, hon... 001770:##013_20 001780:And...I can't add another item to my list of embarrassing history, can I? Remember what happened two months ago...? 001790:## 001800: 001;Okay, then - let's have round 2 of drinking and make one more addition! 001810:No, honey! Please don't do this! Let's stay sensible... 001820:I'm not going to repeat my embarrassing history. I'm going to get a drink for hangover, too...! 001830: 002;Hmph, you didn't fall for it. You pass! 001840:Hehehehe... You really shouldn't test me with something like this. 001850:Aww, I'm really gentle and well-mannered while drinking! There's no need for me to go through a test like this... Is it because of my embarrassing history from 2 months ago? 001860:Let's grab a drink someday in the future. I'll show you THE definition of well-mannered man. I should make up for my lost image. 001870: 000; 001880: 000; 001890:Anyways...Jay went to use the restroom. I think we'll end up at karaoke in a few minutes... 001900: 001;Whoa - I wanna see you sing! 001910:Haha, I wish I could send you a picture later on... But there's only 2% of my battery left... 001920: 002;Still you constantly keep in touch! You know your basics! 001930:Really? I feel thrilled about getting a compliment. 001940:I thought you'd be disappointed if I don't talk to you for the day just because I'm with my friend. So far I kept talking to you whenever I could, didn't I? 001950:And...I wanted to make one last call since my battery's almost gone. 001960: 003;Excuse me - you left your wallet behind! 001970:No - I didn't. Hehehehe. I wasn't serious when I told you about my wallet. 001980:I can't afford to leave it behind when I'm seeing an old friend for once. 001990:But there's something else I felt behind. 002000: 000; 002010:I didn't think I'd be outside for so long, so I didn't bring my charger with me. 002020:But I'll call you when I can once I get back home. 002030: 001;You're not avoiding my request for a song, are you? 002040:Aww, did you forget? I once won second place for a hospital singing contest, remember? I'll sing for you someday. 002050: 002;You should always stay prepared. 002060:I'll say. How could I leave my charger behind and take the rest......? 002070:I'll call you once I'm back home if my head allows. 002080: 000; 002090:Jay was so talkative today... Our conversation just wouldn't end. 002100:He wants us to finish around 3 tonight...but I wish I could stop him. Maybe I made too much fun of him before. 002110: 001;Is he having a hard time with his work? 002120:Probably? Ever since he became an assistant director? 002130:Everyone knows how had he's been working, since they've been a team for so long... But now that he's become an assistant director, looks like they're giving him too much work to do. 002140: 002;What did you guys talk about? 002150:We just talked about our personal current events. Like, what's happening these days. 002160:But we just couldn't finish our conversation on that topic. 002170:It's fun to talk to Jay. There are so many stories from his workplace. 002180: 000; 002190:But really, talking while drinking is pretty much the same for everyone. Ask what the weather's like. Ask how's everything going. And if there's anything special that took place, talk about that and agree with each other. 002200:I think he missed such triviality of life. 002210:Just minutes ago, we talked about how everyone else is busy so we can't hear anything from them. I think he's been really because of the recent filming at countryside. 002220: 001;Yep, co-workers cannot be the same as friends. 002230:That's right. They can't. He's spent the present with his co-workers, but he's spent his past with friends. 002240:So there would be tons of things to talk about. And friends would feel much friendlier. 002250: 002;Filming in the countryside? 002260:There's a beach scene, so he had to drive along the coastline. He had to find a spot with a beautiful coastline, so he had to film at the far end and then film again at the other end. 002270: 000; 002280:And things are so hectic during filming. The whole staff have to move, and the equipment has to be shipped separately. Most of all, you have to stop all work if your actor isn't there. 002290:There's this top celebrity notorious for tardiness and temper who's joined his movie. And this troublesome actor arrived late but then complained about how the script sucks. 002300:So apparently Jay got so stressed out in the middle... 002310: 001;Aww.... Poor him. 002320:But I must say Jay is Jay, alright. He had every reason to be upset and annoyed, but he kept the details short. He said let's not talk about something depressing and ruin the reunion we had for once. So we stopped talking about it. 002330:I can always listen to him if he's having a hard time, but I felt it'd hurt his pride if I keep trying to pry it out from him. 002340:He'll talk to me again once everything's passed. I'm going to wait until then. 002350: 002;That's so mean. Who's the actor? 002360:I can't tell you that. Jay didn't tell me in the first place. He kept it to himself since it's related to his work. 002370:He told me I'll find out even if he doesn't tell me. Actually, I think I know who it is, but it's still a guess. So I won't say who. 002380: 000; 002390:He's a good buy...but sometimes I feel bad for him. Still he's passionate about this job. That's why he bears with such discomfort. 002400:After all that talk, I ended up being a complainer. 002410: 001;What if you meet someone similar and end up like Jay? 002420:Umm...I will. That can't be helped. This is a human business, so I'll get to meet a variety of people. 002430:Still there'd be a good reason when someone's angry, so if I try to figure out why, I'll find a solution to every trouble. I've actually dealt with plenty of unwelcome people. 002440: 002;I think it's always the passionate people who suffer losses and get to sacrifice... 002450:You're right. People tend to just quit quickly if they feel nothing about their jobs. 002460:But people bear with difficulties and hold on to their jobs because they like working on them. 002470:I could connect with Jay even more because I understand how he feels. 002480: 003;I'd just quit. 002490:Jay finally managed to settle down after trying to find his position for a long time. So I want to cheer him on. 002500:I'm going to tell him such jerks are really nothing. He should really do what he wants to. 002510: 000; 002520:I think I'm getting sober as I talk to you. You're my remedy for everything! Hehe. I might as well end up defeating death and aging. 002530: 001;You should stay with me until death do us part! 002540:Yep, I'll definitely end up defeating death. Hehehehe. You're right. I should stay with you as long as I can. And stay healthy, too! 002550:But Jay has to go work tomorrow, so if he insists on drinking more, I should at least pretend to try stopping him. 002560:Though Jay would be a bit disappointed. 002570: 002;There you go again with exaggerations... 002580:Haha, the words would just slip out of my mouth. Is it because I'm drunk? 002590: 001;Aww, seriously, you should drop it now. 002600:Haha. Ha. Okay, okay. I'll stop drinking. 002610: 002;That one was pretty good. 002620:Really? So have you finally started to give it up for my wits?! 002630: 000; 002640: 000; 002650:Oh, hang on. Jay is back. 002660:And my battery managed to last. Hehe. I guess 2% is sturdier than I'd thought. 002670:You should go to bed now. It's getting late. 002680:I'll make sure I don't stay out too late, too. 002690:Good night, sugar. Love you.
