The van carrying In Ho and Su Yeon raced effortlessly along Olympicdaero.
Su Yeon stared intently at the swiftly passing landscape outside the car window.
What crossed her gaze was definitely a night view with the Han River as the background, but what filled Su Yeon’s mind was something far from the night view.
“Brother, I wish you would stop ruining yourself. Especially if it’s because of me. Brother, I…”
“Don’t you still understand? Us being together like this is for our sake. It’s for me!”
It was a line exchanged between Yu Ri and In Ho just before their kiss.
At the end of the line, the two locked lips.
Su Yeon could not erase the scene she had seen with her own eyes.
Visiting the filming site with In Ho was not planned.
Having had coffee together, he received a call from the manager that he had arrived at the restaurant parking lot, and then he got up from his seat and made an unexpected proposal.
“There’s only one shooting part today, so it’s going to end quickly. If you’re okay with it, do you want to come along? Let’s go home together when it’s over.”
Why he made such a proposal, Su Yeon was still unable to understand In Ho’s intention.
Just his proposal seemed to imply that he wanted to be with her, her heart fluttered, and at the phrase ‘let’s go home together when it’s over’, she couldn’t help but blush.
“…Yes.”
There was no reason to refuse.
She didn’t want to refuse either.
So, she followed him.
They arrived at the shooting location about an hour after boarding the van, and just before getting out of the car, he spoke.
“I’ll be back soon. Just wait a bit.”
It was nothing special.
However, the gaze of In Ho uttering those words contained a very gentle warmth.
She didn’t know when she had received such a look.
Merely because of that, her heart throbbed to the point that she couldn’t speak, and without being able to answer, she sent him off like that.
She came to her senses only after a while of sitting alone in the van.
It was a set she had visited a few times, so it wasn’t too unfamiliar, and more than anything, she felt frustrated just sitting in the van and impulsively got out of the car.
Although she was just lingering in front of the van, there were people who recognized her because they had become familiar with her face during her last visit.
It was incredibly awkward, but thinking of In Ho, she greeted them with a smiling face.
Then, she accidentally overheard a conversation.
“What’s wrong with Shin Yu Ri today? Why is she doing things she doesn’t usually do?”
“I don’t know what’s going on with her? Ah, I thought it would be over quickly, but it looks like we’re going to have to stay until sunrise.”
It was a complaint of two staff moving equipment.
The not too long conversation enchanted her and she turned her steps towards the set.
Halfopen, as she squeezed herself through the door of the set building, she heard a familiar voice.
It was the sound of In Ho reciting his lines.
A female voice followed behind his pleasant voice.
Su Yeon moved quietly, seeking a gap among the crowd.
She only stopped walking when she found a spot where she could see In Ho clearly.
Then, an unexpected scene filled Su Yeon’s eyes.
In Ho, who had been listening to Yu Ri’s lines, lowered his head and kissed her.
Su Yeon looked at the scene with wide eyes, then quickly turned her back.
Her heart started to race uncontrollably, and her breath became rough.
A feeling and emotion that she couldn’t express with any words wrapped around her body in an instant.
As she was in a state of confusion, the director’s disgruntled voice echoed, followed by the staff’s commotion.
Su Yeon, who didn’t have the courage to stay in the place any longer, hurriedly left the set.
Then she dashed off, climbed back into the van.
Even after a while, her breathing did not return to normal.
She had not married without knowing that her husband’s job was an actor, but it felt like she had witnessed an illicit affair that she should not have seen.
Because of that, Su Yeon was unable to compose herself for a long time.
Even when Myung Woo got into the driver’s seat and a little more time passed before In Ho boarded the van.
“… Yeon Ah. Choi Su Yeon.”
Su Yeon, who had been lost in thought, regained her focus and her eyes sparkled.
She turned her head almost instinctively towards the source of the sound.
Then she saw In Ho with a rather worried look in his eyes.
“Yes?”
“Are you very tired? You don’t look well.”
Su Yeon blinked her eyes without answering.
His words were simple, but they clearly carried concern.
If it was the Seo In Ho she knew, it would definitely be out of worry…
But for some reason, Su Yeon didn’t want to reply.
She couldn’t even explain the reason why she didn’t want to answer, as she herself didn’t understand what she was feeling.
As her eye contact with In Ho extended, unspoken emotions kept deepening.
Su Yeon deliberately avoided his gaze, and then lowered her head.
“No, I’m fine.”
Her voice was uncharacteristically cold.
The Villainous Demon Lord Laid an Egg for Her (Female-Dominated)
Several months after transmigrating into a book, Yu Wu found herself facing the demon lord Li You, who could no longer conceal his dragon horns. With one hand on her aching waist and the other gripping a sharp sword, she stared at him.
The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
