Mindlessly scrolling through Twitter, Sunjae paid little attention to the hair and make-up artists flitting around him with brushes and hot tools. As long as he kept still, they could work efficiently and he would leave his dressing room immaculate.

Beside him, other actors were getting their hair and make-up done. Some Japanese rapper was blaring from someone's speaker, drowning out the noise of the hair dryer. Some were napping, going over their lines, or, like him, doom-scrolling online.

My Colleague Made Me Blush A Thousands Suns was a drama he was currently filming, playing the second male lead. A role he often got typecasted as. Which was... fine, if not a slight blow to the ego.

He figured he had enough experience on his resume for a casting director to give him a chance, but he knew the fickle nature of the industry. It was already a miracle that he was a relatively known and respected actor in the field. His manager said he had his height to thank.

After filming, he had a networking dinner tonight. Sunjae rather looked forward to diving into bed and watching some American sports movie, but alas—appearing at social events was part of the job description.

He couldn't complain, he reminded himself. He had the job of his dreams, financial security, a nice place, a tight-knit group of friends and a flawless reputation. People would kill for a life like his.

And yet.

For a while now... he couldn't really describe it... but in the last couple of months, he has been feeling empty. Or rather: never-quite fulfilled, like someone had stolen the last bite of a meal. He felt himself looking over his shoulder, or watching the front door late at night; waiting, expecting. But there was nothing to expect. He had his life in order.

Inhyuk would immediately assume that what Sunjae was missing was a girlfriend, but that felt too simple of a statement and it didn't encompass that odd, melancholic feeling. Besides, he wasn't looking for a relationship; he was a content single man.

(Quietly—embarrassingly—he did wonder at times if something was wrong with him. Why didn't he crave companionship? Why did his attraction to women stay surface-level? Was there something inherently broken or—if he were to take a romantic's perspective—was his very soul waiting for The One?)

He wished to shake off this feeling, but it stuck to him like glue.

"Sunjae-ssi?"

Snapping out of his thoughts, he realised his thumb had been hovering over his screen for a while now, unmoving. He looked up at the make-up artist. "Yes?"

"You're ready. You can wait for the director's directions now."

"Ah, thank you." He rose from the chair.

As he walked out of the room, the male lead passed him by with a large, iced Americano and the script rolled under his armpit. He was shorter than Sunjae, but he had the face that all male leads had—something unattainable, masculine, and relatable all at once. The actors were amicable, but Sunjae doubted they'd hang out much after promotions wrapped.

(And yeah, Sunjae was a little jealous of him. Why wasn't he 'unattainable, masculine and relatable' all at once? That would maybe solve his issue.)

Walking onto set, he watched as two actors from the ensemble were in the middle of adlibbing a comedic scene. A production assistant walked up to him with the latest director's notes and script changes. An on-set make-up artist immediately checked him for any imperfections. It wasn't like this on every set, but this one ran like a well-oiled machine.

Again, he had nothing to complain about. Ryu Sunjae was thriving.

... And yet.

His eyes skimmed over the notes, perplexed. "He wants to remove the kiss between Doha and Minju?"

The assistant shrugged. "Some executive producer doesn't think it's a good idea."

Sunjae frowned. "But we've been leading up to it. That's what my character is for. To confuse the female lead."

"I know." The assistant cringed. "I'm just relaying the message."

Nodding, he read the notes again. Those executive producers loved to throw around their opinion as though it held the same merit as the money they possessed. Now his character's arc made no sense.

With a huff, Sunjae tucked the notes into his script. He would for sure talk to the director about this once it was time to film his parts.

"Can you believe it? They totally removed his arc!" A voice behind him perked up, indiginified, speaking to someone else.

Looking over his shoulder, he watched two crew members speaking to each other. Or rather: one was, animatedly so.

"Remind me again why executives have all the power?" the same person asked, miffed.

Her colleague shushed her. "Because they have all the money. Now be quiet. You're the intern, don't start shit you cannot solve."

The woman looked much older than some twenty-year-old intern, Sunjae observed. More about his age. She had a short stature and a square-ish face, long hair piled in a claw clip at the back of her head. Like all of the crew, she wore dark, unassuming clothing.

She pursed her lips. "I'm not saying I'm going to solve it, but I'm just saying... even if they have all the money, doesn't the director... or even the actors... have some say in the matter? The character of Doha is so integral to Minju's growth. It would be a shame if that kiss was scrapped."

"I think so, too," Sunjae found himself saying, grabbing the attention of the women. Walking towards them, he got a better look of them.

The experienced crew member turned as pale as a ghost and bowed her head, apologies about gossiping spilling from her lips.

The intern also bowed her head, though less pronounced, and mumbled a similar apology. Yeah, she definitely wasn't twenty years old. Someone younger would've been peeing their pants about now.

He dismissed them, his gaze sticking to the intern. "Don't apologise. I agree. It's a shame my character's arc is possibly getting reduced."

The intern nodded. She seemed quite pleased that he agreed with her, a slight grin growing on the edges of her lips in the same way that lured people to view the Mona Lisa. "You're going to speak to the director, right?"

"I will."

"Good." Her colleague elbowed her. "I mean, that seems like a smart decision, Sunjae-ssi."

It was almost imperciptible, the way his head tilted slightly after she said his name. He heard that a million times a day. Sunjae-ssi. Sunjae-ssi. Sunjae-ssi. Yet hers... no, he found it too embarrassing to admit. (He found that she said it the sweetest.)

Sunjae coughed, feeling a lump in his throat. "Oh, uh, what're you interning for, by the way?"

"Oh, I'm sorry." This time she bowed for real. "I didn't introduce myself." She smiled. "I'm Im Sol. I'm an intern in the writer's room for the show."

Sunjae blinked.

Oh.

Im Sol.

A sudden swell in his stomach, his chest, his head bloomed at the sound of her name. Im Sol. The physical sensation made him dizzy.

Im Sol.

A short, breathy laugh puffed from his lips. "Right. Um. Hi. Im Sol." The name came out like it was his own. "Welcome on board. Um." The disorienting feeling wouldn't fade. She, however, simply looked at him in confusion. "I have to get ready."

He walked away in seconds, grabbing his racing chest.

Im Sol.

Im Sol.

Why did it feel like that name has left his lips as many times as he has breathed?

Im Sol.

Im Sol.

Im Sol, where have we met before?

Imagine Dash Haber getting you something for your birthday

Dash is a courier. An executive courier to be exact. Your executive courier to be more precise. He's only supposed to pick up the packages from the V.I.L.E. operatives after they have been "collected" and then deliver them to you. It's a job, one that he greatly enjoys, that comes with minimal risks. He doesn't have to go into museums or vaults and have to worry about dodging guards and tripping security measures. No, the only thing he has to do as a courier is to hand over the packages to you and take in your reaction. To bask in your joy as you admire the newest addition to your collection and preen under your compliments as you thank him for another job well done.

It's why he knows he has to get you something great for your birthday. A birthday he has been meticulously keeping track of on his device - though there was no way he could ever forget any detail about you. He's not worried about what to get you as he knows exactly what to get you: the Winter Fabergé egg.

It's a beauty, though it pales in comparison to yours. Frost seems to cover the egg, with an opaque white coloring on the outside surface. Ice crystal studded with diamonds and made from quartz, platinum, and orthoclase covers the exterior. As impressive as the outside is, it's the interior, the surprise, that seals the deal. Opening the clasp at the top reveals a miniature flower basket inside. A basket that is studded with diamonds and is made from platinum and gold, the wood anemones are made of white quartz, the leaves of demantoid, and the flowers lie in gold moss.

It's the perfect thing to get you as it would round off the nine you already have which is why it's the reason why he went to Qatar and infiltrated the Doha Royal Palace with Tigress, Mime Bomb, and Neal the Eel. He wanted to do something big for you - a grand gesture to show his devotion to pleasing you - which is why he decided to personally be a part of the retrieval process.

There were many instances during the infiltration when he regretted having come up with that idea and wished he had just stuck to his usual courier duties after being forced to endure Neal's puns and Tigress' yells at Mime Bomb. Though he had doubted it greatly during the mission, the egg had been secured with surprisingly no alarms raised.

And now days later on your birthday, he holds out the Fabergé egg to you with a bow, arms outstretched as he presents Winter. Dash hears you let out a sharp gasp and you take the egg into your own hands. He straightens up and a smile appears on his face as you trace the ice crystals with a finger before moving upwards and unclasping the top. Your breath hitches when you see the spring flowers. You trace one of the flower's petals and admire the demantoid center.

Setting the egg down on a nearby table, you take large strides to reach Dash. He straightens his posture, preparing himself for your praise but he's left shocked when you lean into him and press a kiss at the corner of his lip. Despite it being everything he had ever hoped for, he left frozen and has no clue what to do next. You move to whisper into his ear, "Thank you for the Fabergé," before leaving the room.

But maybe he doesn't regret the infiltration so much, he thinks, raising a hand to where you kissed him as his face flushes a bright red and gives a wistful sigh.

I feel like Doha should buy Sori some flowers or ice cream or something for indirectly giving him the opportunity to comfort his boyfriend.

Some final thoughts…

Well, we made it to the top. And on the day that we were making it to the top, there was a snowstorm the night before and I fell on and thru some ice. I landed on my ribs and broke one of them. I ended up completing the final day up with a broken rib, and then did another ~25 miles down the trail with a broken rib. We also ended up walking about 15 miles around Kathmandu. It honestly took the wind out of my sails. It sucked. It hurt. It still hurts. And as of yesterday (11 April), I went to the doctor and the only thing I can do is be lazy for the next 6 weeks for it to heal. It feels really weird and uncomfortable to have spent 2 weeks putting so many miles under my feet, to come home and sit on the couch so my rib can heal.

The going down part of the trek is kind of a… lie. Even going down you’re still going up. In and out of valleys. We still added about 3k feet of elevation gain in the 25 miles we did going down. Not as intense as adding 3k feet of elevation gain in 6 miles going up, but was still intense. We woke up the morning after base camp feeling like absolute garbage. The elevation really takes a toll on you and that’s one of the worst days that I’ve ever felt, and the rib didn’t help. Even our guide felt bad that day. So getting down in elevation was great. With every 1k foot drop, breathing got a little easier.

We trekked down for 2 days. We were meant to trek down for 3 days, but, due to a change in our flight back to Kathmandu, we had a change of plans. We were told that our flight from Lukla (beginning and ending of the trek) to Kathmandu was canceled and we’d instead have to take a flight from Lukla to some city 5 hours away from Kathmandu and then take a bus. Or, we could take a helicopter for $350. We chose the helicopter. Turns out, the price of the helicopter from where we were in Namche Bazzaar to Kathmandu was the same price as the helicopter from Lukla to Kathmandu. We chose to skip the final day and 10 miles of trekking and take the helicopter from Namche.

We got back to our hotel in Kathmandu Wednesday morning around 11 and we didn’t leave the bed all day, with the exception of getting some lunch and dinner, which we did at the hotel. Thursday and Friday we explored the chaos of Kathmandu and on Thursday night we joined our guide Kiran and the owner of the company that we used for some Mexican food. Kiran told us that he’d never had Mexican food so we had to change that. We found a spot owned by a Mexican expat and they had outstanding food.

And with that, our time in Kathmandu was done. We had a 0230am Saturday flight to Doha and then a 730am flight back to Atlanta, then a drive back to Nashville. Finally, around 10pm Saturday night, after traveling for about 36 hours and being awake nonstop for more than 50 hours (I couldn’t sleep on the plane with the sore rib) we made it home.

I’m still jetlagged.

All and all, it was an incredible trip. Painful at times, rough overall, but the most beautiful place I’ve ever been. Would I do it again…. Yes, but this time I’d take the helicopter from base camp and skip any of the trekking down. And hopefully, next time, I don’t break anything.

I’m already looking forward to the next adventure in October with I do some of the 14k’rs out in California and climb the highest mountain in the continental US.

But for now, doctors orders, rest.

A Culinary Journey Through the Best Café in Doha

Doha, the capital of Qatar, has evolved into a cosmopolitan city, known for its towering skyscrapers, luxury shopping malls, and a thriving food scene that blends traditional Middle Eastern flavors with global influences.

The Café Culture in Doha: A Blend of Tradition and Modernity

Café culture in Doha has rapidly transformed over the past decade.

The best café in Doha sits comfortably at the intersection of both traditional and contemporary influences. While it embraces modern aesthetics and an international menu, the café has also retained elements of Qatari hospitality that make it distinctly local.

For instance, their signature Arabic Coffee Infusion, which blends traditional Arabic spices with high-quality coffee, provides a truly unique taste that captures the essence of Doha. This creative take on a classic drink is a perfect example of how the café mixes tradition with innovation.

While coffee is the star of the show, the menu at best café in Doha is much more than just a coffee lover’s paradise.

Lunch options at best café in Doha are equally diverse, ranging from salads and sandwiches to more substantial mains like grilled chicken, pasta, and falafel wraps. The café places a strong emphasis on fresh, high-quality ingredients, ensuring that every dish is as flavorful as it is satisfying.

No café experience would be complete without dessert, and the best café in Doha certainly doesn’t disappoint in this department. The dessert menu features a tempting selection of cakes, pastries, and traditional Middle Eastern sweets such as baklava and knafeh. One must-try dessert is their pistachio baklava, which combines layers of crisp filo pastry with a sweet, nutty filling and a touch of rosewater syrup.

A Complete Guide to Exploring Mina District Fish Market: What to Expect

The Mina District Fish Market, located in the heart of Doha, is a vibrant hub of cultural and culinary activity. Known for its fresh seafood, lively atmosphere, and local flavour, it offers visitors an authentic glimpse into Qatar's traditional fishing culture. Whether you're a seafood lover or just curious to explore a local market, Mina District Fish Market is a must-visit. This guide will walk you through what to expect when visiting, ensuring you make the most of your experience.

Getting There

Mina District Fish Market is conveniently located near the bustling Corniche area of Doha, making it easy to access from most parts of the city. If you're driving, there's ample parking nearby. For those without a car, taxis and public transportation options are readily available.

Market Hours

The market is generally open early in the morning, around 5 AM, as fishermen bring in the day's fresh catch. It's best to visit between 6 AM and 9 AM to witness the hustle and bustle of seafood trading. Late mornings and afternoons can be quieter, but the seafood is just as fresh.

What You'll Find

The Mina District Fish Market is renowned for its wide variety of seafood. As you stroll through the stalls, you'll see everything from local favourites such as hammers, kingfish, and prawns to more exotic catches like squid and octopus. You can also find crabs, lobsters, and a variety of shellfish. All seafood is sold fresh and is often displayed on ice to maintain its quality.

Buying Seafood

Whether you're planning to cook a seafood feast or want to sample a local delicacy, purchasing seafood at the market is straightforward. Most vendors offer fish by weight, and prices are typically negotiable. Don't hesitate to ask for a better price, especially if you're buying in bulk.

If you're unfamiliar with how to choose the freshest seafood, here are a few tips:

Check the Eyes: Fresh fish should have clear, bright eyes.

Firm Flesh: Press the fish lightly; the flesh should spring back.

Smell: Fresh seafood should have a clean, oceanic smell, not a strong fishy odour.

Fish Cleaning and Preparation Services

One of the conveniences of shopping at the Mina District Fish Market is the availability of cleaning services. After purchasing your seafood, you can have it cleaned, filleted, and prepared for cooking at nearby stalls. This is especially helpful for visitors who may not have the equipment or expertise to clean fish themselves.

Best Time to Visit

For the freshest catch, visit the market early in the morning. The lively atmosphere during the early hours offers a unique insight into the local fishing culture. However, late morning and early afternoon visits are great for those who prefer a quieter experience, though the selection may be more limited by then.

Nearby Attractions

The Mina District Fish Market is situated near other points of interest, making it a great stop on a more significant day out in Doha. The Corniche, with its scenic waterfront views, is just a short distance away, offering a perfect spot for a post-market stroll. Souq Waqif, a traditional market that offers everything from spices to textiles, is also close by and worth a visit for a more complete local experience.

Where to Eat

If you're not in the mood to cook but still want to enjoy the market's fresh offerings, many nearby restaurants specialize in preparing seafood straight from the market. They allow you to select your fish from the counter and have it cooked to your preference—grilled, fried, or baked. It's a beautiful way to enjoy the freshest seafood without the effort of cooking it yourself.

Cultural Experience

Visiting the Mina District Fish Market offers more than just the opportunity to buy fresh seafood; it provides an authentic cultural experience. The market is a lively space where local fishermen, residents, and visitors mingle. You'll get to observe the age-old tradition of bargaining, hear stories of the sea from seasoned vendors, and feel the energy of a market deeply rooted in Qatar's fishing heritage.

Market Etiquette

While visiting, it's essential to follow some basic market etiquette:

Always ask before taking photos of vendors or their stalls.

Bargaining is familiar, but always remain polite and respectful.

Be mindful of your surroundings, as the market can get crowded, especially during peak hours.

Conclusion

The Mina District Fish Market is more than just a place to buy fresh seafood—it's a window into Qatar's rich fishing culture and a vibrant part of Doha's everyday life. From the fresh catches of the day to the colourful interactions between vendors and customers, the market is a sensory experience worth exploring. Whether you're a local, a foodie, or a tourist, visiting the Mina District Fish Market offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and flavours of Qatar. With this guide, you'll be well-prepared to make the most of your visit, whether you're there to shop, eat, or soak in the atmosphere of this bustling marketplace.
