“It’s the same with getting involved in your father’s business. If I take up a place and enter, my brothers would be happy. The more you have in hand, the more insatiable you are in front of a huge wealth, you know that, don’t you? I would be no different if I caught fire in competition, but I should avoid it at all costs.”
Even though he’s not growling openly now, he was saying that there’s no compromise when it comes to protecting my food bowl, no matter how deep the brotherhood.
“Hmm…….”
Yeo Jin was completely taken aback by Seo Jun’s sharp answer.

However, it was true that she was not secretly displeased with her son’s cold judgment.

So Yeon boarded the bus with a lunch box filled with fruit and simple food.

Coinciding with the office workers’ quitting time, So Yeon, who had not expected it, found an empty seat and sat there.
[Let’s meet at 8pm.] It was a text sent two hours ago from the shooting site by Tae Seo Jun, who is preoccupied with the shooting of the drama . Reconfirming it, So Yeon threw her gaze out the window, listening to the music coming from the Bluetooth earphones plugged into her ear.

Since declaring herself as Eom So Yeon’s training partner, Seo Jun had called So Yeon to the company almost every day. So Yeon, who moved to Samsungdong according to his time without regard for day and night because of that, used public transportation instead of her car for the past two weeks.

Every time she finished practicing late and returned home, Seo Jun insisted on taking her home, and So Yeon finally gave in to his will after a few disputes.

How easy it would be for a very busy person with a continuous shooting schedule to spare an hour or two a day.

Especially, he was more thankful and sorry because he did not forget to share positive energy even while spitting out all sorts of harsh words about his lack of acting skills.

The only thing So Yeon, who seemed to reveal even the deepest feelings when expressing her feelings, could do was to silently follow Tae Seo Jun’s will.

That way, he would be able to collect one more beautiful memory to recall when he missed her.

So Yeon, who was blankly staring at the passing scenery, suddenly looked at her vibrating cell phone.
[Are you free next week? I want to buy you a meal before I start shooting the drama.] It was a message from Jo In Ha.
[What are you talking about. I should be the one to buy you a meal since I’m always owing you. But for a while, I think I’ll be too busy. Let’s have a meal after returning from the location shooting in Spain.] [It’s a shame, but I can’t help it. Instead, buy it at a fancy place, not something trivial.] [Of course, senior.] Inability to see kindness as just kindness. So Yeon, who had a lot to apologize to Jo In Ha, sent a cautious reply and sighed heavily, looking out the window again.

First kiss, first man, first love……

The one person who inevitably ends up in these memories of the first.

I won’t be able to part with him until my body turns into a handful of dust.

So Yeon knew.

A cyclops who can only look at one man. A fool who knows no other way but to hug tight even if that person becomes a thorn and scratches and pricks inside and outside of her body.

I knew that I was that cyclops fool who didn’t even know how to let out a small moan even while holding that pain.

Before long, the bus entering Samsungdong slowed down right in front of the building.

The intense glow of sunset touched her small, slender face as she got off at the bus stop. For a moment, So Yeon watched it gently sinking behind the desolate city with strength in her eyes.

The sun, burning all of itself and disappearing in brilliant colors, only to rise again in dazzling dawn.

Could I live a life like that sun?

The corner of her mouth lifted slightly at the end of her thought advised her. If the uncertain future worries you, be more engrossed in what you have to do today.

With a dazzling smile that washed away all her previous contemplations, So Yeon hastened her steps.

As she got closer to the company, her heartbeat sped up.

At the thought of seeing him soon.

“‘On your gleaming blade, my blood….'” So Yeon couldn’t recite the lines of the female protagonist who loves Gi Cheon Yul till the end. It was a part where she had to touch the coactor’s face, but she just couldn’t do it.
“From the start, again.”
So Yeon, feeling his attitude more irritable today than usual, recited her lines with high tension.
“Hurry up and tell me. You’re not trying to kill me. Surely, on your gleaming blade, my blood….”
Like buffering, So Yeon, whose words were blocked again, let out a frustrated breath.
“Ah… I can’t do it.”
“Why can’t you do it?”
“…!”
Without any resistance, her light body was lifted and placed on the desk. Seo Jun brought his lips close to So Yeon’s ear.
“I think it’s not enough just thinking of me as Mr. Eom So Yeon. Isn’t that the person who used to touch my hand? You used to speak informally well, where did that audacity go?”
His deep voice dug into her ears. So Yeon, who had been hunching her shoulders, quickly turned her head towards Seo Jun’s face.
“What are you doing now….”
“I’m thinking, maybe I should do this.”
Seo Jun’s hand gently slid down from her forehead, twirling the ends of her long hair.

His hand was quite large for a man, but his long and straight fingers were even more delicate and beautiful than a woman’s. As if they were made to only hold beautiful things in this lifetime.

When his hand grasped her chin, So Yeon inhaled sharply. The heat that seared her skin made her dizzy, unsure if it was her own or his.

Seo Jun had been waiting for a long time.

Why did she disappear without a word that day long ago, he wanted her to explain. If he was to be a bit more greedy, he wished she would say she didn’t forget him during this time.

However, she until the very end….
“Why are you pretending not to know?”
Seo Jun had been lingering in the hallway of the company even when it wasn’t the promised time. Just in case he could encounter Eom So Yeon, as if by coincidence.

But such a thing did not happen.

Even during rehearsals, she was busy avoiding his gaze every moment. As if she was desperately hiding something and didn’t want to be caught.
“Do I seem funny to you?”
“…….”
So Yeon, wondering what he was talking about, gently shook her head.
“Ah, ignoring people is Eom So Yeon’s specialty.”
Seo Jun put more force into the slender fingers that held her small chin.
“Then, is Mr. Director’s specialty making people flustered?”
She could feel the shaky breath in her softly retaliating voice. How about her guarded gaze? She looked like a scared kitten, making him want to bite her.

Instead of showing his displeasure, Seo Jun curled his clear lips upwards.
“It’s not my specialty, but why did I do it?”
I, who has never been attached to someone who doesn’t like me. I, who has never been hung up on a little touch. I, who never looks back at things that have ended. Why do I want to behave the opposite way in front of Eom So Yeon?

And one more thing.

Why do I wish for Eom So Yeon to only look at me, only think of me?

Not just a bit, but to the point of going crazy.

As his haughty face slowly leaned into her, So Yeon’s full eyelashes trembled.

Having once experienced Tae Seo Jun’s deep desire, she seemed to know what he was trying to do.

However, swept away by the atmosphere that seemed to demand her to offer her lips without resistance, So Yeon soon closed her eyes. Her instinct told her not to resist, that it was okay.

Their breaths mixed. Just as Seo Jun’s lips were about to touch the slightly parted lips.
“……!”
Seo Jun quickly lifted his bent face.

His sharp senses quickly detected the peering gaze.
“……?”
Just as the last small gap was about to disappear, So Yeon, who had looked towards the practice room door following Seo Jun’s gaze a beat late, felt a shiver down her spine for some reason.
