“……Ji Oh?”
Yeo Woon’s eyes widened at Seol Ji Oh’s sharp tone.
It seemed he had misunderstood when she was exchanging account numbers with Min Ji Wook just a while ago.
“Yes, it was a number…… an account number.”
“What? Why would the director need that?”
“Well, actually….”
After explaining everything from encountering Min Ji Wook in Macau to the situation just now, Seol Ji Oh’s eyes widened.
“He recognized you all covered up?”
“Yeah. I was surprised too.”
“The director doesn’t usually pay attention to anyone. How did he recognize you?”
Seol Ji Oh stroked his chin, asking. Yeo Woon, who had no idea how Min Ji Wook had recognized her, could only tilt her head in response.
“I wonder. Does he have a keen eye? Anyway, he gave me money.”
“……Didn’t he say anything else?”
“What else would there be? He just said what he had to and left. I felt the same last time, the director is really……”
“Last time? You talk to the director often?”
The way he asked was a bit strange. Yeo Woon stopped talking and looked up at Seol Ji Oh.
It was a little uncomfortable, the way he spoke as if she were secretly meeting with Min Ji Wook.
Wasn’t it more strange not to talk to the director while shooting a movie?
Yeo Woon felt suddenly aggrieved.
“All we did was talk because of work. But what about you?”
“……?”
“You just came from filming a kissing scene, why are you acting like this towards me?”
At the mention of the kissing scene, Seol Ji Oh looked at Yeo Woon with a slightly flustered expression.
“You saw the shooting?”
“No. I couldn’t bear to watch, so I came here.”
Yeo Woon turned her gaze away with a hurt look.
How could she watch him kissing another woman.
Seol Ji Oh, with a regretful look on his face, rubbed the back of his neck and spoke.
“……I’m sorry. The truth is, I came to check on you because I was worried about that scene. But for a moment, I thought the director was getting your number.”
At his apologetic voice, Yeo Woon let out a small sigh.
Seol Ji Oh had been worried about me too……
She knew about the kissing scene in advance, and she understood that it was inevitable due to their professions.
But while her mind was clear on this, her heart was an entirely different matter.
It was something she would have to overcome going forward, right?
Yeo Woon dropped her gaze, looking down at her feet, and spoke.
“We can’t help it, it’s acting.”
Seol Ji Oh, seeing Yeo Woon slump, felt an urge to hug her immediately, but there were too many prying eyes around.
As he looked around feeling frustrated, Seol Ji Oh’s eyes paused as he spotted something.
Keeping his gaze fixed somewhere, he licked his lips with his tongue and spoke in a low voice.
“……Can you spare a moment?”
“Huh?”
After glancing at his wristwatch, Seol Ji Oh pulled Yeo Woon along.
“Follow me.”
Seol Ji Oh led her towards the building behind where they were standing, opened the back door carefully, and went in. Yeo Woon followed him with a puzzled look on her face.
This building was a remodeled abandoned structure that was used as a movie set, mainly utilized by ‘Cheon Su Ho’. There was no filming scheduled for today so it was quiet.
Seol Ji Oh, who was familiar with the place, opened a door at a corner on the first floor.
It seemed to be a storage area with items stacked row by row. Yeo Woon blinked and asked Seol Ji Oh.
“Ji Oh? Why are we here……”
As soon as Yeo Woon fully entered and the door closed, Seol Ji Oh pulled her into his arms.
Caught in his wide embrace out of nowhere, Yeo Woon blinked in surprise.
What if he suddenly hugs me!
Heat began to rise in her face. But at the same time, Yeo Woon closed her eyes tightly because she enjoyed Seol Ji Oh’s large embrace too much.
Before she knew it, she had become accustomed to his scent and the warmth that wrapped her whole body, and she felt her heart easing and yet swelling at the same time.
But can we be hugging like this here?
At the thought that suddenly popped up, Yeo Woon opened her eyes and looked around the warehouse over Seol Ji Oh’s shoulder.
Windows with blinds down, cluttered items all around.
Fortunately, it didn’t look like a place where people frequented, but still, it was a space where anyone could barge in at any time.
The thrill that the location brought was significant, but the thought of being caught in such a state made her hair stand on end.
After a moment of hesitation, Yeo Woon pulled herself out of Seol Ji Oh’s embrace and reached out to the door handle as soon as she got out of his arms.
Click.
The lock on the door handle clicked shut. Only then did Yeo Woon seem relieved, looking at Seol Ji Oh with a relaxed expression.
But Seol Ji Oh’s expression was slightly different.
As if Yeo Woon’s action of creating a private space had stimulated him, his gaze had grown hotter.
“Sigh……”
Seol Ji Oh murmured slowly, with a low chuckle.
“I didn’t expect this.”
Yeo Woon looked up at Seol Ji Oh, momentarily taken aback.
He seemed to have misunderstood her locking the door as a signal of seduction.
Yeo Woon blinked her eyes quickly.
