Tae-seok, hiding his hand behind his back, forced a casual tone.
“Who sleeps during work hours?”
“Ah.”
Yeoreum blinked her eyes open.
“I’m sorry.”
“You can leave for today.”
He wanted to tell her to go home early to rest because she looked tired, but the words that came out were entirely different and harsher. He regretted it as soon as he said it, and his annoyance showed on his face.
“Yes. I’m sorry.”
Yeoreum apologized again, glancing around nervously. Tae-seok frowned.
“Go.”
The door slammed shut.
[Star Icon]Yeoreum sat in a daze, organizing her thoughts.
Even though it was a grueling schedule with barely two hours of sleep a day, she shouldn’t have fallen asleep here. This was the second time. The most uncomfortable place in the world was this house, yet she was sleeping peacefully.
Crazy. Absolutely crazy.
‘I should sleep more at night. This can’t happen again.’
She felt pathetic. Shaking her head, she turned off her laptop and started packing up. What must Tae-seok think of her? Probably the epitome of shamelessness. Isn’t it normal to lose sleep in such a situation?
‘Well, I’m not normal right now.’
She had been behaving like an emotionless person in front of him, pulling her facial muscles taut to block any smile. Would it have been easier if she were a robot? Her cheeks ached from the strain.
“Let’s go. Just go. Forget it.”
After packing her bag, she stood up and pushed her chair into the desk. She double-checked if she had left anything behind. But then.
‘What was Tae-seok about to do just now?’
He was definitely reaching out to her when she opened her eyes. Was he going to touch her? Why?
Then she remembered she hadn’t heard a knock. Did he sneak in?
She tried to recall his expression as she pushed his hand away, but nothing came to mind. She felt strange. She didn’t dare ask him, but unanswerable questions kept piling up.
‘Touch? More like he was about to hit me.’
She looked in the mirror and then headed for the door, noticing the necklace around her neck. Her eyes widened in shock. Yeoreum hurriedly buttoned her blouse all the way up. Of all days, why did she wear this necklace today?
‘He couldn’t have seen it, could he?’
It meant nothing. She had just grown accustomed to it over time. Nevertheless, she resolved never to wear this necklace again.
A long sigh escaped her as she left the room. The man was nowhere to be seen.
‘But, hitting or touching, sneaking in is wrong, isn’t it?’
He was a strange man indeed. His revenge seemed incomprehensible. Unable to argue, Yeoreum simply turned and walked away.
[Star Icon]Days passed, and several unspoken rules formed. Yeoreum arrived ten minutes before 1 PM, prepared her coffee in a tumbler, printed the script from the previous day, and sat on the sofa.
Tae-seok would come with a red pen, and they would start the meeting, usually lasting 10 minutes, at most 30 minutes.
It was a strictly business-like time discussing only work.
Occasionally, Tae-seok would pick unreasonable fights, but other than that, it was bearable. He generally got annoyed by honesty.
If she hadn’t eaten lunch or had barely slept the night before, he would scowl and grumble. Yeoreum decided never to tell the truth again.
Aside from that, when it came to the script, he was a helpful mentor. He pointed out impractical shooting setups and found and corrected difficult-to-pronounce words.
Yeoreum arrived at 12:50 PM as usual and prepared her coffee, sitting on the sofa. Tae-seok just opened the door for her and retreated back to his study. Out of boredom, she took out her phone and saw a message from Ji-hyuk.
After a moment’s hesitation, she sent an emoji of herself sweating profusely while running. Ji-hyuk replied with an emoji of hearty laughter, which made her chuckle lightly. Just then, Tae-seok came out.
[Noona. Did you see this? It’s about our drama, and the anticipation is huge. Annoying how most of it is about Tae-seok hyung, but the content seems fun.]A link came through. Yeoreum clicked on the article.
Most of the article discussed financial aspects like advertising, rights, and OTT platforms, concluding that it was one of the most anticipated dramas for the first half of next year.
Moreover, the participation of two members from ‘LovelyRose’ had garnered positive responses. The group, known for its mass appeal and talent, had stirred interest over whether they would contribute to the OST.
Ji-hyuk kept sending laughing emojis, making Yeoreum smile again. She hadn’t noticed Tae-seok sitting in front of her until he spoke.
“What are you doing?”
“Ah. Sorry.”
Yeoreum hurriedly closed her phone and shut off her expression. Tae-seok watched her carefully before asking again.
“Who is it?”
“Ji-hyuk… Ah, no.”
Suddenly, his intense gaze made her nearly hiccup in fear. Had she provoked him again? In such moments, she felt suffocated.
