Chapter 126: Second Meeting With Anna (E)
After winning the Best Rookie award in her film debut last year, Anna signed up for a drama where she was playing the role of the female lead.
What followed next was a series of exhausting days that lasted a whole eight months!
Therefore she had already planned a trip to Umi a day after the last day of shooting to unwind herself.
However, things didn't go as planned.
What was supposed to be an eight-hour sleep ended up becoming twelve hours and she almost missed her flight.
'Thank god,'
Anna sighed in relief as she verified her boarding pass one last time before entering the flight.
She wore a black leather jacket and complimented it with a black and white checkered skirt.
Her eyes were behind rose-tinted glasses and on top of her head was a black beanie cap.
Together they all depicted a style which felt unique to her while at the same time making it difficult for others to perceive her real identity.
With a small red handbag in hand, she made her way inside the flight.
'3D…there it is!'
Anna finally settled her gaze on her seat, but the next moment, her gaze also went towards the person sitting just behind her.
When their gazes met her eyes widened and she couldn't help but involuntary call out, "Jin!"
Hearing his name being called out by the woman in front of him Jin thought that she might be a fan of his but the voice felt familiar to him thereby making him frown.
Seeing the frown on Jin's face Anna removed her shades as if to help him and Jin's eyes widened in the same manner Anna's eyes did a few seconds back.
"Anna! It's you!" Jin exclaimed with a surprised expression on his face.
"Yes, it's me," Anna replied with a charismatic smile and continued, "Looks like we are fated to meet on flights,"
"It sure seems like that," Jin chuckled when he heard her.

Glancing at the seat next to Jin and seeing that there was no one sitting on it she asked, "Is that seat vacant?"
"Yes, wanna come?" Jin understood her intention and asked.
"Of course, there's so much I want to catch up on," Anna swiftly changed her position and sat next to him.
As the two caught up on things the flight safety instructions were completed and it had started moving towards the runway.
"I never knew you were such an amazing actor you know? When I first watched your movie I was shell shocked by it, it was truly a surprise," Anna mentioned and the topic of discussion shifted to Jin's acting.
Jin chuckled when he heard her and said, "To be honest, even I didn't know that I had talent in this regard, if not for your suggestion I most probably wouldn't have followed this career line,"
"Be sure to mention that to the reporters later when you win an award in this LIFA alright?" Anna said with a smile.
"Sure will," Jin answered with a smirk.
Hearing this the smile on Anna's face widened.
Her gaze then went out the window as she saw the flight taking a turn to finally enter the main runway.
"By the way, how's your fear of flying? Is it the same as before?" She asked in a teasing manner.
"You can be rest assured, something like that only happens the first time," Jin replied confidently.
Hearing his Anna sighed, "That's a pity, I was looking forward to it,"
Jin just ignored her words. It was then that the flight's propulsion engines were powered up and it started gaining momentum.
Feeling the intense vibrations all around him Jin's earlier bravado all went down the drain as he clutched the armrests with both his hands and tightly closed his eyes.
Seeing the familiar scene playing again Anna started giggling but Jin completely ignored her.
He didn't want to open his eyes for even a second cause the window was right next to him.
When the appropriate altitude was reached and the shaking stopped Jin finally opened his eyes.
Beside him, Anna had her left elbow on her armrest with the side of her face resting on the palm of her hand.
When Jin turned towards her he was met with her teasing gaze as the following words escaped her mouth, "Are you alright Mr Villain? If your fans got to know that the man who induced so much terror in them is so terrified of flying they would roll on the floor and start laughing…pftt"
A chuckle left her mouth as she finished her words.
"You sure are as playful as before," Jin glared at her with narrowed eyes.
"That's because you're still as fun to tease," Anna countered back.
"Glib tongued as always," Jin snorted in his defeat.
"Thank you," Anna loved the defeated look in Jin's eyes and continued, "So what are your plans when you arrive at Umi?"
"Film Shooting. Isn't that obvious?" Jin asked.
"Huh? You will be shooting for at most 8-10 hours each day. What about the rest of the time?" Anna asked back with an unbelievable expression on her face.
"Then I'll exercise to maintain my physique and finally rest," Jin said as a matter of fact.
"Are you kidding me?" Anna understood just by Jin's expression that he had no plans to explore the city and continued, "We are going to Umroi, the capital city! Shopping! Trying out new delicacies! Exploring different cultures! Visiting the seaside! There are so many exciting things to do but you're telling me that you're not even a tad bit curious about them?"
"Why would I be? Unlike you I've come for work and not for vacation," Jin replied and looked at her overly enthusiastic self weirdly.
"No! I can't stand this! Where's your director?" Anna asked with a self-righteous tone in her voice.
'Is she gonna go and berate him? Let's find out,' Jin thought in amusement and pointed towards Anderson who had just returned from another session in the lavatory.
Anna then went to Anderson but instead of an argument that Jin had expected they amicably talked with each other and Anna finally returned after a while.
A frown formed on Jin's face seeing this and he couldn't help but ask her, "What did you talk to him?"
"What else? I'll be accompanying you guys during these 20 days. You'll be exploring the cities with me after work every day, aren't you thankful? " Anna asked with a proud smile on her face.
An involuntary sigh escaped Jin's mouth when he heard her which only brightened the joy on Anna's face.
'This sadistic woman…' Jin grumbled in his mind.
