It reminded him of the night Eunsu had confessed on the screen.
“Oh… what’s this.”
As Juhan’s lips passed over his cheek to his ear, Eunsu, who had moistened his throat by tilting his neck diagonally while being held close, mumbled.
“I really said I just kissed and went home… and they edited that out…”
Juhan burst into laughter, with his lips still moist under Eunsu’s ear.
“That does sound obvious when it’s cut. Anyone would hear it and think I didn’t go home that day.”
“That’s right. But you did go, huh… Without rain, ah, holding an umbrella in one hand.”
Juhan’s shoulder shook with laughter.
Even when kissing, awkwardly mixing, or after parting ways, there were times when he couldn’t dare to do anything further because it felt incredibly awkward, and his heart felt like it would burst.
“Anyway, only you and I know about it.”
“Yeah, but…”
With a nonchalant tone, Eunsu murmured and pulled Juhan closer.
Amidst the persistent flow of breath and touch, it was difficult to think any further.
In the hasty air, a passionate kiss continued.
Until the preview for the next episode, showing the two going to buy a couple ring.
“The sales have increased tremendously.”
After three weeks and six episodes aired, Seonkyung brought up the topic during a long-awaited post-work meeting.
Jaerim also quickly responded, “And our SNS followers have increased significantly.”
Even Somin spoke with a slightly embarrassed expression, “I never thought there would be a day when we deliver so many dishes.”
It was the most solid atmosphere since this team was formed two years ago.
“But the explosive growth in followers might be because the CEO and the manager don’t have personal SNS accounts. A lot of the comments are about you two. Many ask if there are no selfies.”
“Ilsasail” was indeed a huge success, confidently ranking first in the Whatplus entertainment ranking. It gained tremendous attention and mentions.
“In fact, I observed how others are doing it, and they all gradually post things like couple photos or updates on personal SNS. Especially on the “Heaven” side, wow. They even do live broadcasts well.”
Since they were in the fashion industry, they had been making great use of Instagram from the beginning. After the broadcast, they gained popularity by revealing behind-the-scenes stories from that episode through personal live broadcasts, or by obtaining and sharing pictures taken at parties with the cast.
Eunsu spoke after thinking for a moment, “Posting pictures isn’t difficult, but after the program ends and it cools down a bit, such posts might actually disturb the mood of “Bida.” Anyway, I’ll think about it.”
Juhan added, “Anyway, it seems like the effect is much greater than we thought. But especially in times like these, when there’s a higher chance that things that seem trivial might turn bad, even if everyone is tired in body and mind, let’s stay alert.”
“Yes.”
Although business was booming and items were selling like hotcakes, there were frequent debates about when the containers would arrive, and if customers crowded in all at once, there was often the issue of not being able to properly enjoy the tasting. So, even if only for a while, they decided to try a reservation system. After a heated discussion about what the theme of the special promotion for this month should be, the meeting ended.
“Now, let’s all go home.”
The “Bida” employees all walked outside together.
After Jaerim, Somin, and Seonkyung dispersed towards the bus stop and subway station they usually took, Eunsu called a taxi.
“It’ll be here in three minutes.”
Juhan, who was standing next to him, nodded.
“I could take you.”
“No, it’s okay. You’re busy, why bother?”
Today was the day when the female participants of “Ilsasail” planned to meet for dinner.
As always, it was a gathering arranged by Future in the group chat.
The program is doing well, and everyone is reaping the benefits, so we decided to have a party. However, due to conflicting schedules, Juhan and Yeonseop couldn’t find a suitable time among the guys, so this time, we decided to gather just the girls.
“I’m here. I’ll go in.”
“Yeah. Let me know.”
“Got it.”
Eunsu lightly grabbed Juhan’s hand, then got into the taxi.
Lately, with so many things to handle, Juhan often found himself working in the studio until late at night, possibly even until dawn.
[Sisters, I’ve arrived!]Shortly after the taxi departed, Eunsu received a message from Mira.
Surprised by how quickly she arrived, Eunsu replied that she came out early to shop nearby, adding playful emojis. She also mentioned that, even though she was the first to arrive, she might be late for the reserved restaurant due to her being distracted by shopping. She included some aegyo-mixed words, saying she was on her way and would see them shortly.
After sending a brief reply, Eunsu absentmindedly entered a portal site.
As she was flipping through the pages, she stopped when she saw a particular headline.
[“Yoonbin Injured During Filming… Currently Hospitalized at Hanguk University Hospital”]She thought it might be an April Fools’ joke, but the unexpected title was as elaborate as she never imagined.
Curious, she clicked on it, and the unbelievable content revealed that Yoonbin had been injured and transferred to the emergency room during the action scenes filmed early this morning.
Really… is it true?
If something like this happened, why didn’t he contact me…?
She tried calling Yoonbin immediately, but there was no answer.
Eunsu anxiously leaned forward, gripping the front seat and addressing the driver.
“Driver.”
“Yes?”
She spoke with a trembling voice.
“I’m sorry, but could you please go to a different place? To Hanguk University Hospital. Something urgent came up.”
In the taxi heading to the hospital, and even upon arrival, after trying several more times to contact him, the manager finally answered the phone.
The manager explained that he had kept Yoonbin’s phone since before the accident, but due to the overwhelming number of calls after the news broke, the battery had run out. They managed to charge it just now.
Following the manager’s guidance, Eunsu quietly entered the 22nd-floor single-room ward.
Although it was a VIP ward, and the doctors and nurses wouldn’t spread rumors about who they saw, Eunsu still felt uncomfortable seeing the nurses over there.
So, she tried to hunch over as much as possible, covered her face, and quietly entered Yoonbin’s room.
“…Eunsu?”
Yoonbin, in a patient gown, sat up on the bed, his eyes widening.
His left arm was in a cast.
There were a few abrasions on his face, and on top of them, some medicine shimmered.
Eunsu approached quietly and sat on the chair beside the bed.
“Oppa.”
