It had been quite a while since she had seen Seo Ga Ram. Yeo Woon picked up some vegetable tripe, which Seo Ga Ram liked, from a store and headed to Seo Ga Ram’s house. Upon arrival, Seo Ga Ram greeted her in a casual outfit.
She quickly set up the tripe, and they sat opposite each other and cracked open some beers.
After gulping down the refreshing beer and taking a spicysweet piece of tripe as a side dish, it felt like every cell in her body was waking up.
“Is the movie preparation going well?”
“Yes.”
Yeo Woon nodded her head. Then, as she absentmindedly glanced at her cell phone, Seo Ga Ram’s eyebrows twitched.
“……Are you dating someone?”
“Eh?”
Yeo Woon’s eyes widened at the sudden question. Seeing the change in Yeo Woon’s expression, Seo Ga Ram was startled and immediately pressed on.
“What, do you really have a boyfriend now?”
Yeo Woon blinked her eyes, somewhat flustered.
How did he know?
“No, you, who normally aren’t interested in your phone, are looking at it every minute! Who the hell is it? Someone you shot a drama with this time?”
Yeo Woon bit her lip, wondering whether to tell Seo Ga Ram the truth or not.
If she mentioned Seol Ji Oh, it was clear that Seo Ga Ram would be surprised and taken aback.

But then again, she didn’t feel like she could keep lying to Seo Ga Ram…
Looking at Seo Ga Ram’s reaction, Yeo Woon carefully opened her mouth.
“Seol Ji Oh……”
“……?!”
Upon hearing the name that Yeo Woon hesitantly muttered, Seo Ga Ram was momentarily in a frozen state. Then he suddenly jumped up from his seat.
“Don’t tell me it’s the Seol Ji Oh I know? The Seol Ji Oh that the whole nation knows?”
As she nodded her head, Seo Ga Ram, with his mouth agape, stared at Yeo Woon, then slapped his own forehead.
“No wonder! The look in Seol Ji Oh’s eyes when he saw you last time was not normal. What is this, since when?”
Yeo Woon burst into laughter at Seo Ga Ram’s overly theatrical reaction. However, he seemed unfazed, flopped down in front of her, narrowed his eyes, and stared at her.
His subtle gaze was somewhat unsettling.
“Are you dating?”
“…….”
“Or, did you at least kiss?”
His tone was quite sticky. Feeling pressured by Seo Ga Ram’s curious gaze, Yeo Woon avoided eye contact.
“Well, no, what……”
As Yeo Woon awkwardly avoided answering, Seo Ga Ram’s eyes widened and he slammed his hand on the table.
“You did, didn’t you?”
“Hey!”
“These things. As I said, there’s no such thing as friendship between men and women!”
As Seo Ga Ram, who had a good voice, grumbled, Yeo Woon was startled and quickly shushed him, putting her finger to her lips.

“Be quiet! Everyone will hear you.”
“Ha, is that the problem now? You’re dating?! Tell me everything properly. From when is it day 1? Tell me everything as it is, every single detail, confess now!”
“……First of all, you need to calm down.”
Yeo Woon, who didn’t have much dating experience, always found Seo Ga Ram eagerly stepping in when she seemed to be flirting with someone. Indeed, Seo Ga Ram would draw the line if anything seemed off.
Yeo Woon pondered where to start her story. Then suddenly a question swept through her mind.
Are we in a relationship? We haven’t talked about dating yet…
“I’m not sure about the first day, but for now, Ji Oh…said he likes me.”
“Eh?”
Seo Ga Ram’s expression became strange. Wondering if she had said something wrong, Yeo Woon added more details.
“He said he never thought of me as a friend. And what else? That he’d spend all his money and time…or was it that he’d already spent everything?”
Yeo Woon gave a shy, bashful smile. At that soft smile, Seo Ga Ram’s expression suddenly turned fierce.
“What? You haven’t even talked about dating yet? Even after you kissed?”
“……Eh?”
“Isn’t Seol Ji Oh a playboy?”
Seo Ga Ram, who already had big eyes, widened them in anger as he spoke. Yeo Woon quickly opened her mouth, thinking she needed to calm him down.
“That’s not it! I just needed some time. And Ji Oh is in Macao right now, so I can’t see him often.”
However, Seo Ga Ram still looked at Yeo Woon with suspicion.
“Woon, I’m a bit worried about you, sister.”
“What about?”
“A man as extraordinarily goodlooking as Seol Ji Oh must have had a lot of women, right? Moreover, just by his looks…he has the appearance of a bad guy. I have a bit of an eye for bad guys.”
Seo Ga Ram, holding his hand in the air and speaking like an expert, made Yeo Woon laugh a little. Seo Ga Ram, rather annoyed, said this was not the time to laugh and continued his explanation.
“You can tell just by looking at him, he looks like someone who’d make several women cry. He should be just moderately goodlooking! I’m not sure if our naive Yeo Woon isn’t suffering for nothing.”
His words, which were confusing whether they were criticism or praise, were simply laughed off by Yeo Woon as a joke.

“Don’t worry. Seol Ji Oh is not that kind of man.”
He was such a warm person who expressed his feelings to me first when I was busy avoiding him and would even rush over from overseas at just a word of wanting to see him…
Yeo Woon swallowed the words she was too shy to say out loud, laughing to herself.
Seeing this, Seo Ga Ram suddenly reached out and pinched Yeo Woon’s cheek.
“You’re really naive! Anyway, stay alert! If something feels off, run away immediately. You remember what happened with Kang Hyun Ho…”
Seo Ga Ram cut off abruptly. He had a lot to say, but he didn’t want to bring up an exboyfriend to a friend who was just starting a new love.
As if understanding Seo Ga Ram’s feelings, Yeo Woon steered the conversation away with a reassuring smile.
“Tell me about you. Are you still seeing that man? The one who said he would take responsibility.”
“Oh, that man?”
Seo Ga Ram naturally thought of Choi Hyun.
“Sigh….”
As a deep sigh slipped through Seo Ga Ram’s lips, Yeo Woon asked, puzzled.
“Is something wrong?”
“Woon, honestly, I’m the type to feel a spark at first sight! That’s my style. You know.”
Yeo Woon nodded silently. Remembering together the outcomes of those sudden sparks and feelings.

“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
