But today, Yeo-un had to face Seol Ji-oh. It was an appointment made a long time ago, so suddenly canceling it was impossible.
To shoot with him while pretending to be fine… did she have the courage for that?
Could Seol Ji-oh…?
Arriving at the studio with a worried heart, the studio was bustling with preparations.
Yeo-un greeted the photographer, changed her clothes, and came out.
The studio was quite spacious, decorated with a vibe that highlighted the brand’s image.
As she walked to the shooting location, Yeo-un examined the lovely and antique furniture and props that exuded a charming atmosphere.
While contemplating which prop to use, the area behind her buzzed.
Yeo-un bit her lip in an instant. Even without turning around, she knew. Seol Ji-oh had entered the studio.
He always entered with the attention of everyone.
Without turning around, Yeo-un continued to touch a trivial prop, waiting for the sound to subside.
After a short wait, the surroundings quieted down again.
Did he enter to change clothes?
Even the mere thought of Seol Ji-oh being in the same space as Yeo-un made her heart pound. Even though she hadn’t seen him in person.
‘What should I do about today’s shoot…’
She lost confidence. There were so many people, and if she were to cry… that would be the worst. She couldn’t even go home now.
“Well, I have to figure it out somehow.”
Yeo-un took a deep breath and turned around. But as soon as she turned around, a large shadow loomed before her.
“…!”
Seol Ji-oh was standing there. Yeo-un was so surprised that her mouth fell open. He looked at her with an expressionless face.
“…”
“…”
They couldn’t say anything. Even at a glance, he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.
Tears welled up unintentionally. Feeling her eyelashes getting warm, Yeo-un turned her head, avoiding eye contact, and took a step back, increasing the distance between them.
While Yeo-un walked away, Seol Ji-oh just stood there silently. He didn’t say anything or move.
“Now, let’s go into the shoot. We’ll start with a test shoot, so you two can relax.”
Yeo-un nodded at the photographer’s words. Only then did Seol Ji-oh begin to move.
The two awkwardly stood, facing the camera without striking any pose.
The photographer, who had been pressing the shutter for the test shoot, lowered the camera with a slightly perplexed expression.
“Wait, you two… Did you fight? Why do your expressions look so dark?”
Although the photographer seemed to be joking, the two didn’t react. This left the photographer genuinely bewildered.
“What’s going on? Did you really fight?”
Yeo-un forced a smile at his words.
“No! Everything’s fine. Sorry!”
Yeo-un, who deliberately raised the corners of her mouth, looked at Seol Ji-oh, urging him to pull himself together.
“This is work, so let’s do it properly.”
“…”
Seol Ji-oh looked at her. His jet-black eyes seemed to have a lot to say, but his lips didn’t move.
Yeo-un forced a smile and assumed a pose as usual. Seol Ji-oh, too, professionally composed his expression and focused on the shoot.
At that moment, the lighting that illuminated the two suddenly flickered and went out with a pop, leaving the studio in darkness.
“What the?”
The photographer shouted, lowering the camera. Yeo-un, feeling a bit flustered, looked at the extinguished lights.
There were a total of four lights installed in the studio, and the largest main light among them had gone out.
“We’ll pause the shoot for a moment.”
Soon, the staff began to inspect the extinguished lights.
Yeo-un stood there, pondering how long it would take to fix the lights. In the midst of her contemplation, she heard Seol Ji-oh’s voice.
“Why are you so thin?”
It was a voice she hadn’t heard in a long time. Yeo-un looked at him, hiding the momentary drop of her heart.
Who is scolding whom? You’ve lost more weight yourself.
However, Yeo-un only stared at him without answering. The gazes of the two met in the air for a moment.
The place where the two stood was dark, and everyone’s attention was focused on the extinguished lights, making it possible.
Seol Ji-oh lowered his voice and spoke.
“What should I do… How can I make you feel better? I’ll do whatever you want.”
“…If I suggest breaking up?”
For a moment, it seemed like Seol Ji-oh was biting his lips. Despite doing everything she asked him to do, he could only tremble his lips and couldn’t answer.
Can’t you break up?
“Why can’t you answer?”
“Please…”
Seol Ji-oh closed his eyes and spoke. Soon, a pitiful voice flowed from him.
“Please don’t suggest breaking up. I can’t live without you…”
As soon as Yeo-un heard those words, she turned away from him. She felt herself shaking without mercy at his one word.
Even though she hated him so much, she also wanted to hug him because she felt so sorry for him.
Yeo-un couldn’t understand her conflicting feelings. Her heart just wouldn’t do as she wanted.
‘I really don’t know what to do now…’
Yeo-un felt like tears were about to flow and decided to leave the scene. Since the shoot would stop until the lighting was fixed, she needed to calm her mind during that time.
Running to the bathroom, Yeo-un covered her mouth inside the stall and let out her tears.
“Sob…”
‘Please don’t suggest breaking up. I can’t live without you…’
His voice kept echoing.
What should I really do about you?
What should I do about myself…?
When Yeo-un came out after fixing her makeup in the waiting room, the studio lights were brightly on. Upon closer inspection, they were not the original lights.
It seems they couldn’t fix it and brought different lights.
Yeo-un adjusted the lights and walked toward where Seol Ji-oh was standing. He turned his gaze away when she approached.
The photographer spoke in a loud voice, seemingly apologetic.
“I’m sorry. The lights aren’t working. I replaced them with the ones we used before. I placed them a bit closer since they are smaller, so be careful with your movements. Let’s get back to shooting!”
As Yeo-un replied, she leaned toward Seol Ji-oh. Whether her heart was torn or not, she needed to focus on the shoot for now.
Seol Ji-oh also silently focused on the shoot.
The sound of the shutter and the photographer’s admiration filled the studio.
Although the two were smiling at the camera, they hardly looked at each other.
“Shouldn’t the two of you face each other a bit?”
At the photographer’s direction, Yeo-un reluctantly turned her head toward Seol Ji-oh. The smiles became awkward, and she couldn’t help it.
With all her might, she raised the corners of her mouth, and in front of her, she saw Seol Ji-oh forcing a smile as well.
Yeo-un let out a small sigh.
What are we doing right now…
As if his own gaze had conveyed something, Seol Ji-oh’s smile also faded.
At that moment, a startled voice from one of the staff members was heard.
“Uh?! Why is that happening?”
In an instant, Seol Ji-oh’s eyes, which had been looking at her, turned toward Yeo-un’s back. Yeo-un, also surprised, tried to turn her head, but he suddenly turned his body toward her and embraced her.
What’s going on?
Before she could fully comprehend the situation, a sharp noise echoed and soon a dull pain struck her body.
Dash! Boom!
Sparks spewed out as the exploded lighting fixtures fell toward Yeo-un.
However, when Yeo-un opened her eyes, she felt no pain in her body. In a puzzling moment, she saw Seol Ji-oh collapsed beside her.
“Ji, Ji-o?”
He was lying there, bleeding.
