We reached the shooting spot. The rest of the crew were already there, waiting for us.
'Is this Mia's son?' Mina noona squealed as Deen climbed out of the car with us. 'What's your name?'
'Anneyeong, I'm Deen,' Deen replied.
'Your son is so cute!' noona exclaimed.
'Thank you unnie,' Mia said.
'Let me introduce him to the staff.' Mina noona scooped Deen onto her lap. Deen was clearly flabbergasted by the attention from the stranger but there was no stopping to Mina noona's excitement. Before Mia could say anything, Mina noona strode off with the kid in her arms. Soon the female staffs were flocking to the little kid, pinching his chubby cheeks, squealing at his cuteness. Some even kissed his cheeks, putting lipstick marks on them.
'That kid is receiving more attention than me!' Cheng said, affronted.
'Clearly, you have competition,' I joked.
'Tsk tsk,' Cheng tutted. 'He is gonna grow up to be a casanova. Just look at him enjoying the attention.'
'Hey, don't put my son on your level,' Mia warned. 'He's gonna be faithful to his future wife.'
'Are you kidding me?' I rolled my eyes. 'That's a mini Cheng right there. That's how he was during our trainee days.'
'Oh yeah, he'll be like me,' Cheng said proudly, popping a gum in his mouth. 'Like his cool uncle. I am gonna teach him all the tricks to win women's hearts.'
'Don't you dare,' Mia and I said in unison.
'Anyways, I gotta go bring out the clothes,' Mia said. 'I'll be back in a while.'
She hurried off towards the trailers. Cheng and I stood there, looking at the women fawning over Deen. But Deen seemed to be enjoying the attention. His initial shock wore off and he was happily chatting with the ladies.
'What do you want to be when you grow up?' Se-Ah noona, our assistant manager, asked.
'I don't know,' Deen said. 'Maybe an astronaut.'
'Aigoo, you can be an idol,' Mina noona suggested. 'Or a model. Just train at our agency.'
'No,' Deen said firmly. 'I love eating and sleeping. My cute looks might make me an idol but I don't wanna give up food.'
The women around him went 'aww'. Cheng and I looked at each other. The kid is gonna be a player, we silently agreed.
