Ms Park Don't Let Me

Chapter 3: You Win, I Lose

It was the next day. It is THE day. The day that would decide who gonna win. Byeon WooSeok's ego or your pride.

You got ready. Looking at the mirror with a confident smile on you face.

"You're going down ByeonWooseok-sii."

You reached to your office. As you parked your car, a sports car parked right beside you. You both came out of your cars. It was WooSeok. He came right on time. You both face each other. You greeted him.

"Good morning ByeonWooseok-sii. I hope you are prepared for today.", you said with a confident smirk.

WooSeok straightened up slowly from his car door, one hand still on the handle. His eyes locked onto yours-sharp, unyielding.

He just stared. Then, a slow, dangerous smirk tugged at the corner of his lips.

"Good morning, Writer Park."

His voice was smooth-too calm. Like he'd already won.

"And don't worry."

He stepped closer, just enough to make your pulse flicker-though you'd never admit it.

"I'm not just prepared..."

He tilted his head slightly as he walked past you toward the office entrance.

"I'm going to own this character."

You chuckled small. He stopped and looked at you.

"I like your confidence. Let's see what you've got."

Your smile turned into a serious look. You walked past him in the office building.

WooSeok didn't respond-just kept moving, keeping pace with your steps as you both made your way inside. Every so often, his eyes would glance over, studying the calm expression on your face, the confident way you held yourself.

He could feel it in your every move. This wouldn't just be about acting ability today. It was a battle of will. And he wasn't going to lose to anyone-especially not you.

As they reached the elevator, he spoke up.

"You look like you mean business."

You just smiled. You both reached to your destinated floor. Your manager came to receive WooSeok. He was totally different person with celebrities specially with A-list celebrities. You rolled your eyes. Then walked passed them. Seseung run towards you as soon as she saw you. Greeted you with brigth smile. As she saw WooSeok behind you with your manager, she immediately bowed and greeted him too. He smiled and greeted her back.

"Is the studio ready?", you asked Seseung and she nodded.

You turned and looked at WooSeok, "Shall we?", you asked him with a smirk.

His gaze only followed you as you started walking, his eyes still holding that glint of challenge. He fell into step easily beside you, responding to your question with a nod.

"Lead the way."

"Of course."

You walked to the studio and he followed you right behind. As you entered, Misoo and Jina were already there, prepared everything. WooSeok stepped into the studio, casting a cursory glance around the set. He took in the preparations, the arrangement of the lights, the angle of the camera... all the little details a veteran actor would automatically notice.

You stood right beside Misoo who was standing behind the big camera.

"Wooseok-sii, please stand infront of the camera."
