“The man with the handkerchief?”
Won Ho tilted his head, wondering what the story was.
“Well, Se Kyung once told us about a man she met on the set. It was something that never happened before, so it must have been etched in her mind. Se Kyung was so tired that day that she had a nosebleed on set, and an incredibly handsome man approached her and said, ‘Bend your head.’ He wiped her blood with his own handkerchief.”
Yuna prattled on excitedly as if she had experienced it herself.
Won Ho, engrossed in her story, kept exclaiming in admiration.
Wait… did I even share such a story?
Seeing Yuna reciting the dialogue flawlessly, Se Kyung lifted the corner of her mouth in awkward amusement.
“But that man, he wasn’t an actor, right? Have you met him?”
“Ah? Ah…”
Caught off guard, Se Kyung swallowed her saliva. Yuna frowned at her ambiguous reply.
“Which question are you answering? That he’s not an actor? Or you met him?”
Both.
Swallowing her response, Se Kyung avoided Yuna’s probing look with a troubled face.
“That man, wasn’t he said to be acquainted with actor Moon Seok Ju? Oh, then you could’ve met him. You’re in the same agency as actor Moon now, right?”
Her memory was impressive. It was an incident that happened more than 3 years ago, why didn’t she forget anything?
“Well…”
Se Kyung’s eyes shifted. It seemed like even Won Ho, who sat next to her, was now curious about the other’s love life.
But why did she have to share her unrequited love story at a place where she came to receive a wedding invitation?
“I haven’t met him.”
“Did he leave the company? Then ask actor Moon. He must know.”
Of course, he knew. In fact, that man had never left the company.
“Never mind. That’s an old story. Let’s just eat. They’ll be closing soon.”
Se Kyung, changing the subject, put salad and pasta on Yuna’s plate. She opened her mouth wide in surprise at Se Kyung’s blatant diversion.
“That’s suspicious…”
“What’s so suspicious?”
Se Kyung responded nonchalantly and shoved a piece of chicken into Yuna’s mouth, signifying the end of that conversation.
After an hourlong meal, Se Kyung bid them farewell as they left the restaurant.
As Won Ho brought the car from the parking lot, Yuna, who was in the passenger seat, lowered the car window and looked up at Se Kyung.
“I’ll hear the rest of the story that you didn’t finish today, later.”
“I guess so.”
Yuna tightly gripped Se Kyung’s hand, who was nodding with a smile.
“You know, right? I’m very grateful to you. I wouldn’t have been able to last for seven years without you on our team. I know you struggled more than anyone else. If it weren’t for you back then, we… No, I might have fallen into depression.”
Yuna’s hand tightened, and her voice choked up. Se Kyung responded to her in a more lighthearted tone.
“Marry me, Blue? Why are you like this today, of all days? It’s so out of character. Look, I’m getting goosebumps.”
“Hey, seriously. I’m trying to be serious here.”
Tears welled up in Yuna’s eyes but quickly retreated. Se Kyung giggled and stroked Yuna’s head.
“Being serious doesn’t suit you at all. I know everything in your heart, so you don’t have to say it. Go home. See you at the wedding.”
“Geez… Okay. Anyway, remember I’m on your side. If you ever need my help, tell me. I’ll help you with anything.”
“Sure.”
Se Kyung withdrew her hand from Yuna’s grip. As the car with them inside pulled away, Se Kyung began her walk towards the hotel.
That’s when her phone, nestled in her pocket, buzzed briefly.
[Are you sure there was nothing going on between you and Tae Jo?]The unexpected message from Seok Ju made her heart sink.
What? Did President Jin actually remember everything?
As she lifted her hand to the keypad to reply, the screen changed and a new caller ID appeared.
[President Jin Tae Jo]She gasped. Her startled hand slipped and hit the green call button.
Hello?
At the sound of the voice coming from the other end, Se Kyung clenched her eyes shut.
“Yes. President.”
For some reason, her voice seemed to tremble finely at the end, like a sheep’s bleat.
Se Kyung covered her mouth with her hand.
She suddenly felt an urge to scream.
After the call, Tae Jo placed his phone on the sofa table.
“She says no, but I can’t urge her not to lie.”
He revisited the content of his call with Seok Ju.
When asked if he had indeed left me alone in the hotel room, he was silent for a moment.
That gap felt suspicious. It was simple to answer either yes or no, but what was that odd lapse of time?
…Why am I like this after drinking expensive alcohol.
The words that followed a brief interval were complaints against him.
It wasn’t as if he had left him on the roadside. Why grill him about taking him to a hotel early in the morning?
Why are you doing this? Was there something strange?
There was something strange. His shirt was off, he was covered with a gown instead of a blanket, and there were unidentified stains on his clothes.
If this isn’t strange, what is?
“…….”
