Our Friendship

"I think this is the … end," he whispered as he slowly closed his eyes. His lips are shivering.

He's standing at the edge of the longest bridge in the city. Outside the sidewalk, barefoot, with just a little room for his body to stand longer. His knees are about to give up, he can't hold himself anymore. With its 318-meter height from the water, his life will surely end in a few fleeting seconds.

Hopeless, looking desperate to end his life. With tears slowly running down his cheeks. His hair flowing freely as the wind blows to his face. His hands are spread like wings grabbing the pole of the bridge creating a more dramatic effect.

Despite this situation, his heart seemed oddly steady. He is ready to leap at any moment, but a shout echoed through the cold wind and stopped him.

"Cut!" the director exclaimed. "That was amazing. Bravo!"

"Let's call it a day!" he clapped three times before announcing it to everyone in the set.

The night's shoot was typical. Indeed it was hard. Especially with the biting cold and more wind blowing in his face.

The second he jumped across the safe space of the sidewalk, a jacket was given to him. A thick black fur coat is enough to cover his shaking body. Even with this setup, no complain was heard from him. He even bowed and thank everyone for a successful shoot.

Everyone gave their best, especially the main character, Zoren, of the upcoming movie entitled 'The Carter's Message'.

Zoren is widely known as Zee. He initially rejected the role in this melodrama movie. Being in this drama is not really his choice. Lot of crying, and being in a tangled romance is not the theme he really is fond of. But he had to do it anyway, as it was her mother's favor.

His mother, Mayen, didn't stop begging him for a month to accept the role. One of her goal is for him to have more friends and maybe start dating the female lead. She likes to set up her son with anyone she thinks is going to take care of him.

With multiple pleas, Zee finally agreed and accepted the role. After all, he wants to do things that make her mom happy. He's willing to go to great lengths to bring joy to his mother's life.

Zee is a top-tier actor known for his expressive and captivating eyes, well-shaped eyebrows, and a straight, proportionate nose contributing to his overall symmetrical and attractive facial structure.

He is known for his charming smile and friendly demeanor, with lips that are neither too thin nor too full. His oval face shape adds to his handsome appearance, and he usually has clear, healthy skin, making him look youthful and vibrant.

At the age of 27, he's the highest-paid person in the industry of all time. His TV commercial fee has skyrocketed from 600 to 800 million won just this year. One of the reasons for this is because of a commercial.

He had a beer commercial in which he had to let a snake crawl from his hands to his neck. It has to be a snake as this is what the beer brand 'Snake It' logo is known for.

Many of his fans were shocked by the video of his commercial. It became a trending topic for a whole month after it was uploaded.

The video created quite an uproar in the online community. Some viewers thought it was amazing, while others were skeptical and believed that it had been edited in some way.

The divided opinions among viewers added to the buzz surrounding the video, making it a significant and talked-about moment.

"Thank you, everyone," Zee's voice resonated, his eyes are smiling. He gracefully acknowledged the team after completing the final shot.

He began the process of removing his safety gears. Standing beside her is Jenesis, her personal assistant. She also chimed in with a heartfelt expression of gratitude to the team.

With her quiet presence and simple clothing, her nerdy appearance is undeniable and carries an aura of intelligence. She wears silver eyeglasses and small earrings. With thin lips, almond eyes, and well-defined nose, she looks like a cute assistant. Physically, she possesses a slender physique that adds to her overall appearance.

She has a respectful manner towards everyone she meets. Her lighthearted greetings can cheer a person's mood. But she also possesses a streak of seriousness that can catch you off guard.

"You're the top trend today," Jenesis sneered as she helped Zee gather their other belongings.

"Really? Hasn't it been a month already?" he asked, looking both confused and amazed.

"Yes, it was, but with a snake on a video is really quite amazing."

"Can I have my phone, Jen?" Zee asked to her as they walk to the van.

Jen is the short name for Jenesis. It's her nickname, which he just made up. Jenesis reached into her black sling bag and quickly retrieved his phone for him.

"Your mother called earlier," Jen said. "I told her you're still at work."

"It's already 9 pm. Why hasn't she gone to bed yet?" he asked.

"She must've been waiting for you to come home. I thought you were having dinner tonight."

"Dinner? For what?"

"You forgot again, didn't you?"

Zee stopped walking and started thinking about what the dinner was for.

"It's the first of the month today," she said, looking away from him.

"We should go now," Zee said as he grabbed her arm and started running towards the van.

Jenesis is not just Zee's personal assistant. She is his closest friend. Their friendship had its roots in a tragic incident that unfolded during their high school years. It was in the heart of a forest, a place that held both beauty and danger.

It's where their paths crossed in a life-altering way.
