“Good work.”
As soon as the director’s cue fell, In Ho bent his waist towards the surroundings and greeted them.
He tried to act as if nothing was wrong, but the headache that had been persisting since dawn showed no signs of leaving.
It was only after In Ho left the set that he frowned and let out a deep sigh.
He slowly started to walk, looking around him.
No matter how much he turned his head, he could not see Myung Woo.
He had asked him to buy some medicine from the convenience store during the shooting, but it seemed he hadn’t returned yet.
Fortunately, if there was one, a van was parked in the nearby parking lot.
“Did he walk to the convenience store?”
He didn’t know why he did so, but it was fortunate that there was a place to rest.
In Ho headed towards the van, shaking his head a couple of times.
It was a terrible headache.
He had never had such a severe headache before, and he couldn’t understand why his head hurt so much now.
Since switching bodies with Su Yeon, there had been more things to worry about, but he felt relatively at ease because of last night’s events.
At least he thought he could see a thread of resolution in his relationship with Su Yeon.
Just thinking about the events of the early morning confirmed this.
Though brief, it had been a warm time spent with Su Yeon after a very long time.
But what could be the problem?
In Ho frowned and let out a deep sigh.
He barely managed to summon strength into his legs, which seemed about to give out, and reached the van.
Then, along with the sound of panting, he felt someone approach him.
“Huff, huff, hyung. Is it break time?”
He turned his head to see Myung Woo.
In Ho just nodded his head any way he could.
Then Myung Woo extended a bag towards him with a face full of worry.
“Hyung, this.”
Seeing the bag with the convenience store logo, it seemed that he had bought the medicine he had asked for.
In Ho accepted the bag and patted Myung Woo’s shoulder.
“Thanks. You should have driven, why did you run there and back?”
“Ah, about that…”
“Anyway, thanks. I’m going to take the medicine and nap for an hour, wake me up about 10 minutes before shooting starts.”
“Got it. But hyung…”
“Later. I need to rest now.”
Myung Woo seemed to have more to say, but In Ho just shook his head.
Right now, he did not have the energy to listen to Myung Woo.
His head was starting to hurt even more.
In Ho hurriedly opened the door of the van.
And just when he was lifting one leg…
Every second, he thought of getting some rest as soon as possible, but contrary to that, his body stopped moving to climb into the van.
“Ah, so…”
What’s this? Why are you here all of a sudden…
“I was worried because you said your head hurt…”
Why are you here?
“I brought the medicine.”
It was Su Yeon.
Filled with focuslessness, it was definitely Su Yeon.
“You look really sick. Does your head still hurt?”
Su Yeon was looking at him with a worried face.
In Ho belatedly examined the bag he had received from Myung Woo.
The bag he thought would definitely contain medicine was filled with energy drinks.
Whether she understood the meaning of his gaze on the item, a kind explanation followed immediately.
“Ah, I asked Myung Woo to buy some energy drinks. Since the shoot was exhausting, it could be fatigue causing your headache…”
In Ho raised his head to look at Su Yeon.
As soon as their eyes met, Su Yeon shyly looked away.
Why did it make him laugh to see that?
In Ho couldn’t help but smile.
((())) ((())) ((()))
With a straight back and modestly closed legs.
The hem of her carefully chosen dress quietly sat on her thigh, and her neat fingers didn’t know what to do but torment the hem of her skirt.
Su Yeon couldn’t even lean back comfortably in her seat, as she was worried about In Ho, who had taken some medicine and was sleeping.
She knew he didn’t have any sleeping habits, but maybe it was the medicine, he didn’t move at all.
Su Yeon slowly moved her stiff neck.
His handsome face quickly filled her eyes.
The prominent nose falling between the thick eyebrows, the neatly seated eyelashes, the lips that met and didn’t move, and the chest that rose and fell at a steady rhythm.
Her deep slumber was evident.
Only then did Su Yeon slowly exhale the breath she had been holding back.
She didn’t forget to be cautious, fearing that even that might disturb In Ho’s sleep.
She gently leaned her back, which she had been forcefully holding upright, against the sheets and fully turned her head towards In Ho.
Once again, In Ho’s face filled her sight.
Her heart throbbed as if it were about to burst, just from that alone.
Had there ever been a time when she could look at In Ho’s face so comfortably?
No, there hadn’t been even a single instance.
Even when they shared a bed, she obstinately stared at the ceiling, refraining from any movement, in case she disturbed In Ho’s sleep.
It was the same during physical contact.
Whenever she was embraced by In Ho, she felt too embarrassed to open her eyes.
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
