“No, it’s not like that. It was just… a happening. I’m okay.”
Yeo Woon smiled brightly as usual. However, the experience of being maliciously harassed by someone wouldn’t be so easily okay.
She must have been greatly shocked and hurt.
“Come here.”
As he extended his hand to Yeo Woon, she leaned into him. Embracing her small figure that fit perfectly in his arms, Seol Ji Oh thought.
He couldn’t let this pass as it was.
A little while ago, Seol Ji Oh, who had gotten Lee Jin Cheol’s number, called him. And the moment he heard the voice on the other end of the line, Seol Ji Oh realized that he was the man talking about Yeo Woon on the rooftop a few days ago.
‘I heard some stories.’
Lee Jin Cheol had clearly said that then. He had ‘heard stories.’
Then, from whom did he hear these stories?
When Seol Ji Oh asked about it over the phone, Lee Jin Cheol burst into anger.
They were all stories he made up himself, simply because he didn’t like Yeo Woon.
He ended with telling Seol Ji Oh not to call again and abruptly hung up.
The anxious trembling voice and overreacting behavior.
It seemed like Lee Jin Cheol was hiding something.
Then, Yeo Woon, who was in his arms, rustled and opened her small mouth.
“Actually, Ji Oh…”
“Yeah?”
“I was a bit scared. It was the first time I felt hated for no reason.”
Seol Ji Oh lowered his gaze to look at Yeo Woon. Yeo Woon’s round eyes blinked several times as if holding back tears, and then a clear tear flowed down her cheek.
Seol Ji Oh’s eyes widened. It felt like his heart dropped to the floor.
Yeo Woon was crying…
Seol Ji Oh was upset with himself. Despite being her boyfriend, he didn’t know that Yeo Woon was having such a hard time.
“Since you weren’t there yesterday… I felt like I was abandoned alone in this big filming set.”
But soon, Yeo Woon wiped her tears with the back of her hand and raised her voice cheerfully.
“But I endured it! It’s an opportunity I earned. I couldn’t be defeated by such rumors!”
Seeing Yeo Woon smiling at him, his heart hurt even more. Seol Ji Oh hugged Yeo Woon tightly in his arms.
“You don’t have to pretend to be okay in front of me. You can cry, you can be angry. That’s why I’m here.”
Seol Ji Oh swept his hand, filled with affection, down Yeo Woon’s back. Then, Yeo Woon burst into the tears she had been holding back.
“…Sniff. Sob.”
I wish she could feel a little bit at ease in my arms.
After a while, Yeo Woon, finished crying, came out of Seol Ji Oh’s embrace, sniffling.
“Are you done crying?”
“Yeah….”
Yeo Woon, who nodded, had reddish eyes. Her moist eyes, still wet, were directed at Seol Ji Oh.
“Do my eyes look very red? Does it show that I’ve been crying?”
“Hmm. I don’t know… I’ll have to take a closer look.”
Seol Ji Oh purposely narrowed the distance between him and Yeo Woon.
As he approached her cute face, looking at him with round eyes, Seol Ji Oh suddenly bit Yeo Woon’s nose.
“Ouch!”
Yeo Woon’s eyes, surprised by Seol Ji Oh’s attack, widened like saucers.
“Hey?!”
“Your strawberry nose looked ripe. I wanted to taste it.”
“You! I was surprised!”
She raised her hand and slapped. Even the sight of her hitting his shoulder was adorable.
It was a big deal that he wanted to taste more than just her nose.
Today’s last filming was with Go Hyun Ah. It was a car scene, so he had to ride in the car with Go Hyun Ah for about an hour, but the strong perfume smell made his head dizzy.
As soon as the shooting was over, Go Hyun Ah got out of the car and asked Seol Ji Oh.
“Mr. Ji Oh, what are you doing after today’s shoot?”
“…I need to rest.”
“Do you want to have a glass of wine after we finish today? I found a nice place!”
Seol Ji Oh just stared at Go Hyun Ah. It was fascinating that Go Hyun Ah kept asking him despite his constant refusal.
He was going to give the same answer this time too.
“I’m a bit tired. Maybe next time.”
“Ugh… you always say next time.”
Go Hyun Ah pouted her lips. Someone might find that face adorable, but for Seol Ji Oh, it was simply burdensome.
“You’ve worked hard.”
As he greeted and was about to turn around, Go Hyun Ah caught Seol Ji Oh from behind.
“But is it really not true? The rumor about Yeo Woon.”
Seol Ji Oh frowned.
Why is this topic suddenly coming up?
Looking back, Go Hyun Ah looked at Seol Ji Oh with a curious expression.
“The casting of Yeo Woon, it had nothing to do with you?”
“…Of course. She was selected through an audition. Director Byun personally picked her.”
“Ah, really?”
Go Hyun Ah nodded several times and then mumbled to herself.
“But how did Yeo Woon, who didn’t even have an agency, audition?”
Seol Ji Oh raised an eyebrow.
What is she trying to say now?
Seeing the stiffened expression of Seol Ji Oh, Go Hyun Ah smiled cunningly and spoke cheerfully.
“No, it’s strange. Director Byun is not the type to hold open auditions. Just auditioning is like reaching for the stars. And Yeo Woon, who was close to being a nobody, auditioned and got in one go.”
“…What are you trying to say?”
“I’m just curious. You must know.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
