At Min Jiwook’s question about when they would eat together, Yeo-woon finally recalled Min Jiwook’s words from the hospital.
On the day Min Jiwook came to the hospital with a rabbit doll, before leaving, he had clearly said, “I’ll buy you a meal when you’re discharged. As an apology.”
Recalling the memory that she had completely forgotten, Yeo-woon looked at Min Jiwook. Unconsciously, her mouth hung open in surprise.
Min Jiwook, seeing Yeo-woon not saying anything, playfully curled his lips as if amused, but soon, he spoke to Yeo-woon with a look of regret.
“Forgetting it already, that’s too much.”
“Ah… that.”
Simultaneously, Yeo-woon remembered Seol Ji-oh’s voice, advising her not to accept anything from Min Jiwook.
Yeo-woon couldn’t outright refuse Min Jiwook, but making an appointment was awkward. She blinked her eyes, uncertain of what to say.
When Yeo-woon continued to hesitate, Min Jiwook added impatiently, “How about the day after tomorrow? We have a break from shooting.”
“Tomorrow… the day after tomorrow?”
“Yes.”
“Ah…”
As Yeo-woon kept hesitating, he turned his gaze away from her, looking at a corner of the floor as if he was sulking.
“If you’re busy… I guess we can’t do it.”
Min Jiwook’s softly muttered words weighed on Yeo-woon’s heart. She carefully observed his expression, which seemed as expressionless as usual, but upon closer inspection, it seemed a bit gloomy.
Suddenly, a sense of guilt overwhelmed Yeo-woon. Min Jiwook had helped her a lot, even visiting her when she was sick. Wasn’t she being impolite?
Hesitating for a moment, Yeo-woon finally spoke to Min Jiwook.
“…Let’s eat together.”
At Yeo-woon’s words, Min Jiwook turned his head to look at her. With slightly enlarged pupils, his expression seemed to ask, really? Yeo-woon nodded in response.
“I don’t have a schedule that day.”
“…Thank goodness.”
Only then did Min Jiwook show a faint smile that seemed to say, finally?
Yeo-woon thought lightly of it. It was just a meal. Why did she refuse the director for such a small thing?
At that moment, the entrance of the set became noisy. It seemed that the staff were arriving one by one.
Seeing a prop team staff member carrying a load, Yeo-woon got up from her seat to help.
“…”
Min Jiwook watched Yeo-woon’s retreating figure and sighed quietly. One hand was pressing against his chest.
‘What is this, my heart is pounding.’
At this age, he never thought a simple suggestion to have a meal would make him so nervous. He wondered how anxious he was, fearing that rejection might come out of Yeo-woon’s mouth.
Min Jiwook pressed his dry lips with his tongue. Feeling an emotion he hadn’t experienced in a while, a smile like a suppressed sigh escaped from Min Jiwook’s lips.
The lighting on the set dimmed.
There were significantly fewer people guarding the set than usual. Director Byeon Ju-ho called the two actors before the shoot.
“If you miss the emotional line, it’s over. Hold it well. Chun Soo-ho is Chun Soo-ho, and Cha Yeon-joo is Cha Yeon-joo.”
“Yes.”
“I understand, Director.”
Yeo-woon nodded with a determined expression. Seol Ji-oh glanced at Yeo-woon and asked, “Are you okay?” with his mouth. Yeo-woon nodded, awkwardly smiling.
Her heart was pounding, but Yeo-woon tried to calm herself by taking deep breaths.
The rehearsal for the movements was already finished, and now only the actual shooting remained.
Feeling tense, Yeo-woon kept getting thirsty. Seol Ji-oh, somehow knowing this, handed her a bottle of water.
“Here.”
“Yeah, thanks.”
As Yeo-woon opened the water bottle, her fingertips trembled slightly. He whispered softly as he looked at Yeo-woon.
“Just think of me as Chun Soo-ho, and you’re Cha Yeon-joo. Today is the day you finally get the Chun Soo-ho you’ve been dreaming of.”
Yeo-woon nodded. Having observed the character Cha Yeon-joo many times in the scenes from the work early in the morning, she vividly pictured the emotions she needed to portray.
Now, only the actual concentration work was left.
“Alright, let’s go.”
At Director Byeon Ju-ho’s words, Yeo-woon and Seol Ji-oh headed to their designated positions. Feeling her heart pounding like it might burst, Yeo-woon focused gradually as she took on the role of Cha Yeon-joo.
This scene was undoubtedly in a bed, but it wasn’t focused on a sexual scene. Instead, it was a scene concentrating on the internal conflict between the two characters.
Chun Soo-ho, who hates for revenge despite having a woman he loves, has to seduce the daughter of the man he hates for revenge—Cha Yeon-joo.
And despite knowing that he is a presence that, driven by twisted greed, will lead to the destruction of himself and his family, Cha Yeon-joo chooses him.
It was a scene where the abnormal desires of the two characters dramatically unfolded, laying the groundwork for the climax as the accumulated wrong choices led to destruction.
Thinking of Director Byeon’s advice to capture the emotional line well, Yeo-woon walked towards the door.
