Chae-Won Choi, playing Neena, was completely immersed in her role.
She had spent years as the lead of the show, so not only did she act like Neena but thought like her too.
With quick feet, she traversed the curving dirt path leading to the top of the hill marked with trees.
It was raining fiercely, and her transparent umbrella only did so little to shield her from the barrage.
The girl desperately clutched her purse to her chest, trying not to let it get wet.
She had just gotten off the bus, and if she had known it would rain so hard, she would have brought her coat along. Or perhaps she would have stayed at the office or gone home.
Neena walked past the shabby wooden sign that read Pavillion of Illusions.
Soon, she saw it.
Surrounded by a cluster of trees too small to call woods was a gazebo built in the traditional Eastern style. Flowering vines had climbed its pillars and roof.
Finally in sight, Neena rushed towards the gazebo for cover and heaved a sigh.
