Green finished her call with Park Chan Wook and immediately opened her email to send Sun Woo’s photos as a compressed file. At first, she was going to send only the A-cuts, but ended up including all the B-cuts in the compressed file as well.
“I’ll look at them when I’m bored.”
This single remark from Park Chan Wook was filled with affection for Sun Woo.
At times like this, quantity over quality! It seemed best to send as many as possible.
After sending the email, Green felt proud inside. It felt like she had done something greatly filial, so to speak.
On the other hand, she couldn’t understand at all why someone who cared for Sun Woo so much would directly expose the fact that he was an illegitimate child to the world.
At one point, Green too had been frightened by Chan Wook’s words that sounded like a declaration of war. She also felt greatly betrayed when she learned that he had revealed Sun Woo’s private matters to the press.
But the more she experienced him, the clearer it became. The fact that, like In Young, Park Chan Wook also cared deeply for Sun Woo.
If he didn’t care for Sun Woo, she thought, he wouldn’t have needed to warn her in advance, nor would he have kept Sun Woo’s secret until now.
But no matter how much she racked her brains, it was difficult to grasp Park Chan Wook’s true intentions.
‘Ah, I don’t know! How can a sparrow understand the profound intentions of a phoenix!’
Shaking off her complicated thoughts, she looked at her mailbox again and saw a new message had arrived. It was Morgan’s proposal for participating in the Paris Collection audition.
As Green carefully examined the contents, her forehead slightly wrinkled. She wasn’t at all satisfied with it.
‘I should discuss this with Hannah.’
She had just returned from France yesterday after finishing her work. Since Hannah wasn’t answering her phone, Green sent a text message and headed to Hannah’s house.
When she was almost at Hannah’s house, she received a call from Sun Woo.
“I’m at Hannah’s now.”
“No. You’re leaving tomorrow, so I should go home early. Are you going to be late?”
“Okay. See you later.”
After hanging up, Green hurried to Hannah’s. But when her friend opened the door, her face looked terrible.
“Jo Hannah, why do you look like this? Have you been crying?”
Her eyes were red and swollen, clearly indicating she had been crying until just moments ago.
“Who’s crying? I didn’t cry!”
Even as she shouted, her voice was choked with tears. Green stretched out her arms and hugged Hannah, who was much taller than her.
“Who did this? Which bastard made our Hannah cry? Tell me! I’ll go dump a bucket of poop in front of his house!”
“Stop being ridiculous, you idiot! I can imagine you pooping!”
Hannah couldn’t help but chuckle even as her eyes glistened with tears. Seeing her friend laugh, Green finally felt a bit relieved.
“What happened? Didn’t Jenny go straight to England?”
“Yeah. Apparently, this movie is getting a good response in Europe. She’s going to tour England, Germany, and Spain. It seems Cannes is out of the picture, but it might do quite well at the box office.”
Hannah had been calmly reporting on Jenny’s recent activities, but at Green’s question, her eyes welled up with tears again.
“Green, I… I got rejected by Ahn Yong Gi! Sob…”
“What?”
Green was genuinely shocked. Although Hannah might seem a bit silly at times, that was only in front of her friends. Objectively, she was incredibly beautiful.
Not only that, she had once worked as a model, so her figure was outstanding, and she was now one of the top five talented stylists in our country.
In short, pretty face, great body, highly capable – she was the perfect girlfriend material. Blood is thicker than water, and Green felt fierce anger towards Ahn Yong Gi.
“It’s really funny. After being worn out by Jenny’s pickiness, at night when sparks were flying and a sexy beauty like you says she likes him, he still says no?”
“He says his ideal type is small and petite women. Why did our parents have to make me so tall like a beanpole! Sob… I shouldn’t have stolen my little brother’s milk when I was young.”
Hannah, who had been barely holding back her tears, burst into tears again. Green, feeling hot with anger, blew out hot air from her nostrils.
“Let’s change your ideal type while we’re at it. There are so many men with inverted triangle bodies and good physiques, why do you have to like such a dummy?”
Green tried to comfort her, but once Hannah’s tears started, they wouldn’t stop easily.
Seeing Hannah so heartbroken, Green couldn’t even bring up Morgan’s matter. She could only comfort her by rubbing her back.
After crying in Green’s arms for a long time, Hannah finally raised her head and blew her nose into a tissue.
“Green, what brings you here suddenly?”
After hesitating for a moment, Green thought it might be better to talk about work than stay in a state of heartbreak, so she showed Morgan’s proposal.
Hannah, still sniffling but driven by professional instinct, looked over the proposal, tilted her head, and asked.
“The first part is the best selection from existing work, and the latter part is what you’re going to shoot new, right?”
“That’s right.”
“But the new shots aren’t much different from the existing ones? Why bother shooting again if it’s going to be like this?”
“That’s what I’m saying! What would you do if it were you?”
Hannah’s eyes narrowed as she scrutinized Morgan’s photos.
“Since he doesn’t have much fat on his face, if it were me, I’d go for a decadent beauty, like Timothée Chalamet style.”
“Oh my God! That would be really amazing. Hannah, you’re a genius!”
Green couldn’t help but exclaim as she imagined Morgan oozing with decadent beauty. Her hands itched with the desire to capture a Morgan she had never seen before on camera.
“There’s an old saying that you should cover a man with another man. Hannah, let’s cover that dummy with Timothée!”
“What are you talking about?”
“Do Morgan’s portfolio work with me, Hannah. Please?”
“Get out!”
Hannah shook off Green’s tightly held hand and went into the bedroom, slamming the door shut.
As Green sighed lightly and turned around, her phone rang. It was Sun Woo.
“Yes, Sun Woo.”
“Really? Wait a moment. Hannah, I’m leaving!”
Green hurriedly packed her bag and continued her conversation with Sun Woo as she left through the front door.
“What brings you here?”
At Sun Woo’s sudden confession, Green stopped in her tracks. Her heart was beating so fast that it was hard to breathe.
After taking a deep breath, Green rushed out the door. Sun Woo’s car was waiting in front of the building.
Green quickly got into the passenger seat. The moment their eyes met, both their eyes curved into crescents without anyone initiating it.
Sun Woo’s car was driving in a completely different direction from home.
“Sun Woo, aren’t we going home?”
“No, we’re not.”
“You’re going on a business trip tomorrow, where are we going?”
“I packed everything and left home.”
Seeing Sun Woo who seemed to have come with a firm resolve, Green gently held his right hand. Thinking that this hand she was holding would be gone tomorrow, a tender feeling welled up anew.
Sun Woo, without taking his eyes off the road, quietly kissed the back of her hand that he was holding.
*****
The place Sun Woo arrived at with Green was a 5-star hotel suite closest to Incheon Airport.
Green smiled, feeling Sun Woo’s desire to stay together as long as possible until just before his departure.
The suite, with two walls made of floor-to-ceiling windows, offered a panoramic view of the sea of Yeongjongdo and the international airport.
As it was a bit early for dinner, the two went to the hotel pool first.
Green dressed up in a daring bikini and swam two laps excitedly. Then she sat on a sun bed and leisurely appreciated Sun Woo swimming.
Although she usually likes water, right now it was more pleasing to see the fit Sun Woo swimming skillfully.
But as time passed, she became upset. All the women at the pool were focused on Sun Woo. Some were even scanning him quite blatantly.
After swimming about six laps, Sun Woo approached Green with water dripping from his sculptured body.
Green could almost hear the sound of women swallowing their saliva from all around.
But somehow his expression wasn’t good. Wondering what was wrong, Green stood up, and Sun Woo frowned even more, glaring fiercely at the men around.
Sun Woo took a large towel and wrapped Green’s body tightly.
“Shall we go up to the room now?”
“Shall we?”
Green picked up another towel and pretended to wipe his dripping body, blocking all the women’s gazes.
After showering, the two decided to use room service instead of going to a restaurant with a nice view. The scenery visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows was too beautiful.
“Did Hannah say she had any difficulties in Marseille?”
“That’s not the problem. Can you believe it, Hannah confessed to Director Ahn and got rejected! He said his ideal type is petite women.”
“Yong Gi? That’s not true! That guy’s ex-girlfriends were all over 170cm!”
At Sun Woo’s words, Green felt betrayed by Ahn Yong Gi once again. No, what’s wrong with our Hannah?
Sun Woo led Green, who was upset until they finished their meal, to the floor-to-ceiling window.
Standing in front of the beautiful sunset of Yeongjongdo, Green’s mood improved a bit. Sun Woo, hugging her tightly from behind, kissed her ear and said,
“The CEO asked me to be the model for the resort’s print ad.”
“Really? Hmm… I think it would suit you well, but are you really going to do it?”
“Actually, I was going to refuse even if it meant resigning, but… he said he’d assign Han Green as the photographer?”
Green turned around to look at him in surprise.
“Really? Then I’m going to Marseille where Sun Woo is?”
“Yes. I’m going to submit the proposal as soon as I arrive. So you can come to me as quickly as possible.”
Green was so happy that she jumped and hung on his neck.
“Oh my! I’m so excited! Marseille! And it’s my first time doing an ad for a big company like K1 Construction!”
Suddenly, Sun Woo’s eyes narrowed.
“Is that what you’re excited about right now?”
“Of course, being able to see you soon is what I like best. And it’s also nice that I can get paid to photograph my favorite model.”
Green quickly kissed his lips with a peck as she answered.
“Ha! Sounds like you won’t come if you’re not paid?”
Sun Woo pretended to be upset and bumped his forehead against Green’s. Green rubbed her forehead with her palm and answered with an embarrassed face.
“I’m a professional too, and now I have to pay studio rent regularly, so I can’t work for free. So, Sun Woo, please tell the CEO to pay me well.”
“Be honest. Do you like me more, or money more?”
At another sudden balance game, Green stretched out her arms to wrap around his neck and kissed him again with a peck.
“I just like rich Jin Sun Woo so much.”
“Han Green, you’re so annoying.”
Sun Woo, who had been frowning at Green’s words, pulled her slim waist and fiercely devoured her lips. The shadows of the two people overlapping became tinged with red in the sunset.
Feeling anxious about the little time they had left together, the two passionately indulged in each other all night. The cruel time flowed unusually fast.
