After getting his makeup done at the shop, Jaeho hurried to the studio without a moment to breathe. His driver, Byunghoon, tensed his grip on the steering wheel due to the pressure of the day’s tight schedule.
“Wow, it’s tough getting back to work after a while. Aren’t you tired, hyung?”
“I’m fine. You can take a nap during the interview.”
The stylist Sumi, who joined midway, didn’t hold back her compliments about how Jaeho had become even more handsome since she last saw him. She observed his face from different angles, scrutinizing his strikingly good looks.
“You look better than ever. Smiling more. What’s going on? Do you have a girlfriend now?”
Unable to hide his smile, Jaeho slightly lowered his head. He was worried his expressions were too transparent for an actor, but fortunately, Sumi didn’t seem to notice.
“Come on. What woman would be with Lee Jaeho? He’s like a monk. Sigh. But your hair has grown a bit, hasn’t it? Should have trimmed it. Could you lift your head a bit?”
Jaeho managed his expression and looked straight ahead.
“It’s not long enough to trim… But compared to when I was shooting for , it does give a softer impression. Is that okay? It’s different from the movie’s image.”
“It’s fine as it is.”

“Why does oppa keep smiling like that?”
Sumi muttered bluntly as she packed her makeup bag.
The leading trio of had gathered after a long time. Lee Jaeho. Go Sanghyuk. Woo Minjae. They were all the same age. Initially awkward, they had grown close while filming the movie and were now good enough to call each other friends.
The interview was arranged early because of Jaeho, who anticipated a long break from acting in the near future.
“Everyone looks much better now, especially Lee Jaeho. Did you get something done on your face?”
“Not at all.”
“I still feel sore in my back muscles. The director really pushed us hard.”
Go Sanghyuk grumbled. After exchanging greetings and reviewing the interview script, the setup was complete.
“Hello! I’m reporter Han Yura! Today, we have prepared a delightful meeting with the handsome leading trio of the movie . Shall we start with an introduction to the movie?”
Though it was a three-lead movie, most of the attention was on Jaeho due to his significant role. He smoothly handled the lengthy interview without any signs of trouble.

“Lee Jaeho! You played the role of ‘Kim Hyuk,’ blinded by revenge. Every scene was amazing, but especially the scene where you take revenge on your old friend who caused your lover’s departure – all the staff gave a standing ovation. How did you feel filming that scene?”
Jaeho took the microphone.
“Well… just, ‘I’m going to kill him…’?”
The audience chuckled a bit, and a soft smile appeared in Jaeho’s eyes.
“That’s exactly what I did. Kim Hyuk is a character who can’t forget the false accusation he suffered. In a way, he is obsessed with the past. He can’t live his future without resolving that issue. The character’s traits are somewhat similar to mine. I’m also someone who can wait a long time for a goal and not waste that waiting period. I’m also obsessive in certain aspects. Like Kim Hyuk’s lines, I don’t really want to change that about myself.”
“What aspects of your personality are similar to Lee Jaeho?”
“Hmm. As I said, I know how to wait for my goals. And I don’t waste time during that waiting. I have an obsessive nature too. There are times when I show fixation on specific things, and like Kim Hyuk’s character, I don’t particularly want to change those traits.”
“Woah, Jaeho and obsession? I’m sensing the charm of a bad boy! Can I ask what kind of obsession it might be?”
His gaze slightly lowered, reflecting the autumn sea. In his mind, he pictured the shadow of a woman squatting under a pine tree, feeding a cat. The image made his heart ache slightly.
“Um, it’s a bit abstract, but something like a certain kind of affection.”
“?”

“Yes, I think I have an obsession with a kind and affectionate personality.”
After giving this enigmatic answer, Jaeho smiled contentedly.
The microphone was passed to the next actor. Jaeho pondered about Dasom. He wanted to kiss every joint of her fingers and whisper love to her. He missed the beach where he could do just that as much as he wanted.
It was paradise. A place beyond compare.
Being in Seoul made it clear how far apart they were. The reality where you can walk ten steps to knock on her door only existed there.
In about a week, their month at the beach would end, and he would have to return to Seoul. A place where they had to devote more time to their practical lives and get used to not seeing each other for over a week if luck was bad.
He was thirsty. Jaeho suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of anxiety, as if Dasom was too far away.
“Now, for a special question. Jaeho, have you ever wanted to take terrible revenge on someone, like Kim Hyuk does?”
Ha Jaewoo.
A name flashed through his mind like a bolt of lightning.
