“What are you going to do after the show ends?”
Eunsoo was momentarily at a loss for words.
I hadn’t thought that far ahead.
Why hadn’t she? She suddenly felt flustered, realizing this only now. Yunbin’s gaze, waiting for an answer, felt unusually suffocating today.
“The recording is this month, and the broadcast starts in September? So it’ll likely be a hot topic at least until the end of the year. It’s June now… so that means keeping the secret for at least half a year.”
Yunbin’s voice made the familiar information sound like a completely different schedule.
Eunsoo then realized her mistake. For some reason, she had been under the impression that everything would end after the two-week recording, not considering the aftermath.
At least half a year, and then what…
Overwhelmed by a sudden sense of enormity, Eunsoo’s expression hardened noticeably. Yunbin’s tone softened, returning to its usual gentleness.
“Then, around the beginning of the year, depending on the situation, you can reveal that you’ve broken up. If the program does well, there’ll be lots of articles, but they’ll be quickly overshadowed by other news. So don’t worry too much.”
“Uh-huh, yeah.”
Eunsoo responded feebly and forced a smile. Yunbin reached out to gently pat her head and then tapped her shoulder before moving away.
“Since you’ve decided to do this, I won’t say more. I hope it ends well.”
“Thanks.”
After a while, Eunsoo stood up. Yunbin offered to call his manager to take her home, but she declined.
“I’ll manage on my own. If someone sees the manager taking care of me, it might seem odd. Don’t want unnecessary rumors or scandals.”
Yunbin paused momentarily at her words.
“Speaking of which, wouldn’t a scandal with me jeopardize your program appearance?”
Eunsoo looked incredulous.
“That’s your concern? You should be more worried about yourself. I’m just an ordinary person, but you’re not. And with me, of all people? Wouldn’t that be strange?”
Yunbin looked at her intently before speaking.
“It wouldn’t necessarily be a problem because it’s you.”
“Huh?”
“Right?”
Yunbin’s casual smile somehow didn’t prompt Eunsoo to immediately respond.
Her and Yunbin? It sounded as incongruent as a scandal between siblings. She knew Yunbin probably felt the same, but she understood his point. He was seasoned enough not to care about baseless rumors or gossip.
“I’ll be going now.”
“Alright. Sorry I can’t see you out.”
“Don’t be. I’ll just head straight out. The taxi will be right outside.”
Eunsoo left with a light-hearted grumble, striding out confidently on her own.
After she left, Yunbin stood at the door, his arms crossed, then turned away. The reality of her presence, just moments ago, felt suddenly dreamlike.
He looked at the two teacups left on the table and then wandered around the living room. Eunsoo’s words, both recent and from years past, echoed in his mind.
‘Oppa. I actually have something to tell you…’
It was the year he turned twenty-four. Eight years into his career, already having received every award a singer could win and establishing himself as an actor, he had just finished his first lead role in a drama and was enjoying a rare break when Eunsoo contacted him. That day, she hesitantly broached a topic.
‘About Juhan. I’ve mentioned him before.’
He had felt something heavy drop inside him. Yunbin had always been perceptive, becoming even more so in the treacherous world of entertainment. Juhan was one of the two friends Eunsoo often talked about. Even though he’d never met him, Yunbin had an inkling.
That friend, I probably couldn’t like him.
“I’m so embarrassed to say this because it’s my first time talking about it, but I felt I had to tell you, oppa.”
No, Eunsoo, don’t. I wish you wouldn’t. I…
“He’s actually my boyfriend. We were just friends, but it turned into that.”
Yunbin remembered the blush and the smile on Eunsoo’s cheeks when she said that. It was a happy expression he had never seen before, one that was vividly imprinted in his mind.
And then, years later, Eunsoo had a face he had never seen before again – silent tears rolling down her cheeks. That was the first time he had seen her cry.
A man who could make Eunsoo laugh like that, and cry like that.
Yunbin’s intuition wasn’t wrong. Juhan was someone he could never like.
He hoped Eunsoo wouldn’t get tangled up with him anymore. He wished they would become strangers after breaking up, like ordinary couples.
“But, why does she keep…”
Yunbin’s lower lip pressed against his teeth.
“Wow, I was totally out of it today.”
“I know, right? I don’t even know how the day went by.”
After an exceptionally busy day, darkness began to fall. The faces of the employees also darkened with fatigue.
The shop was overwhelmed with customers today. Ahead of the upcoming shoot for “Work and Love, Love and Work,” a large influx of furniture from arrived, and next week a container from Europe was due, prompting a sale to make space for the new stock. The response was explosive.
