Her soft voice bade him farewell, igniting a strong desire in him to kiss her again.
In-ho paused while getting out of the van, glancing back at her.
Seeing Su-yeon smiling brightly filled his view.
“Ah, I want to devour her.”
The urge to kiss her intensified into a deeper longing.
His jaw clenched tight.
He wanted to climb back into the van for a deep kiss, but he firmly gripped his hands instead.
Then, he recited a mantra he often used in difficult times.
“I am not a beast. Not a beast. I’m a human. A human. So, I must hold back. I can hold back.”
After repeating the mantra several times, he felt his body’s heat subsiding a bit.
In-ho forced himself to move his heavy steps.
If he lingered any longer, he feared he might not be able to leave the van.
He stood firmly on the ground, smoothing out his wrinkled pants.
Then he turned back to look at Su-yeon.
“I’ll be back.”
A bright smile graced his lips as he greeted her.
The last scene of the shoot was one they had postponed due to In-ho’s absence.
Thus, it was relatively easy for In-ho, not requiring the peak of heart-wrenching emotions or the tenderness of a finale.
However, Yoo-ri’s feelings were different.
She had hastily followed In-ho, who had already left the set, but couldn’t catch up to him. Just as she was about to call out to him, she saw a junior staff member stopping In-ho.
Yoo-ri quickly hid herself.
“Hello.”
“Ah, yes.”
In-ho responded with a bewildered expression to the staff who suddenly blocked his way and greeted him.
“You’ve worked really hard all this time.”
“Ah… Yes, thank you. Your name was Jun-seo, right? You’ve also worked very hard, Jun-seo.”
Although it was not unusual to exchange pleasantries and acknowledge each other’s hard work, In-ho found it somewhat awkward as it was an unfamiliar person going out of their way to greet him.
Nevertheless, In-ho sincerely reciprocated the gesture.
He thought that would suffice.
He hastily moved to pass by.
In-ho was eager to get to Su-yeon as soon as possible.
But then, a staff member stopped him again.
“Thank you for what you did last time. The wrap-up party will be crowded and chaotic, so I wanted to thank you in advance today.”
“Last time?”
“Yes, for the help you gave last time. If it weren’t for you, I probably would have been fired. There’s still post-production work left, but thanks to you, I could finish my on-site work well.”
“Oh…”
In-ho looked puzzled.
‘Helped last time? Something big must have happened if my help prevented them from getting fired.’
Despite pondering the staff’s words, he couldn’t recall anything. Then he saw Su-yeon lingering near the parked van, filling his gaze.
‘Ah, was that what Su-yeon mentioned before?’
He belatedly remembered a conversation with Su-yeon and nodded convincingly.
“Thank you for being grateful. But, may I go now? I’d love to chat more, but my wife is waiting.”
“Oh, yes! Go ahead. I’ll see you at the wrap-up party.”
In-ho nodded lightly to Jun-seo and hurried away, almost running towards Su-yeon.
Her smiling face became clearer as he approached.
“Were you waiting outside? Was it stuffy in the car?”
“No, not really. I just stepped out because the breeze was so nice when I opened the window.”
“That’s good. Oh, but about what you told me last time.”
“Which thing?”
“About helping a staff member when our bodies were switched.”
“Oh, right, that.”
Su-yeon clapped her hands and nodded.
“That person just came and thanked me a lot.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Actually, I was distracted at the time and didn’t listen properly to you. What exactly happened?”
“It was nothing much.”
“What kind of ‘nothing much’? What did you do with my body?”
“Ah, In-ho, we’re outside, talk quietly. Someone might hear us.”
“There’s nobody around. And what if someone hears? They’ll just think we’re playing around, right? Who would believe if they heard that two people switched bodies?”
“That’s true.”
In-ho’s explanation was too straightforward.
That made Su-yeon stop surveying the surroundings and link arms with In-ho.
“Still, we should talk about it in the car, just in case.”
Her casual arm linking was uncharacteristically natural and familiar.
In-ho liked it very much.
Though late, it felt like they were finally filling in the natural aspects of their relationship.
Eagerly, but for different reasons than Su-yeon, In-ho hurried to the van.
The small moments seemed overwhelmingly happy.
So much so that he might have been too complacent than usual.
“…Bodies switched?”
