Between a glass, two glasses of wine, So Yeon and Seo Jun had quite a conversation.
‘She’s trying to do a tough job, Ms. Eom So Yeon. The profession of an actor isn’t all it appears to be.’
‘Where would a job not be tough? You have to overcome with will. Even if it’s an unknown road, if you have a clear goal, you have to go. Even if the best choice steps on my feet, even if I regret it.’
This petite woman was surprisingly feisty.
That fact plunged Seo Jun into a long silence. He wondered what he was doing to this girl who had just outgrown her girlishness, himself who couldn’t trust his own feelings of attraction.
The crystal chandelier light cast a deep shadow on her sculpted face. A subtle smile settled on it.
It was a selfmocking smile.
So Yeon’s face turned red at the sight of that smile.
As alcohol built up within her, So Yeon’s guard gradually loosened, and the informal language occasionally mixed with honorifics, the consistently low and smooth voice seemed to be constantly tempting her.
Is this what it feels like to be in love? When alone with a man, does the heart float and feel strange like this? Or is it because he’s too handsome that I’m swaying?
Complex thoughts tangled in her mind made her head hot.
10:30 p.m.
Checking the wall clock, Seo Jun cleared the glass to one side of the table and rose from the dining table chair. He was going to end the drinking party.
“Tell me now. What is it that you want?”
An unexpected encounter. Its start was a favor, and its end was a price. And he was talking about the last of those. So Yeon, standing tall under Seo Jun’s chin, looked up at him closely.
There wasn’t a man who made my heart flutter so much. Even if I don’t know about ‘dating’, couldn’t he teach me about a similar emotion, ‘love’? Wouldn’t it be less regretful? It doesn’t seem like I’ll meet a man who attracts me as strongly in the future…
So Yeon’s insides were burning, like she could hear the harsh voice of that director, Yun or whatever his name was, again.
So Yeon’s thoughts were gradually drifting in a dangerous direction, her heart trembling since she was in the elevator and her spirit was stolen.
If I wake up from sleep tomorrow and he’s not there, this might be the last time. That urgent feeling kept impelling So Yeon. Perhaps not only for herself, but for Seo Jun who was betrayed by love, the warm touch of a person could be a comfort.
“Didn’t you say anything earlier?”
“I could give you more generously than that.”
The instincts of twentytwo years old, just awakened by the first kiss, was something she herself could not understand. Encouraged by the kind words of Seo Jun, So Yeon finally said it.
“May I hug you? Me… Tae Seo Jun.”
“……”
Between them, who had already kissed, it’s not just a hug she’s talking about. He must know what she means.
Seo Jun, whose shining eyes seemed to understand what she was saying, chuckled.
“Haven’t you heard that you shouldn’t trust people easily?”
Anyway, So Yeon thought that today would be the last time she would meet Seo Jun.
“If you thought about that when you said it.”
“……”
Seo Jun’s heart started to beat ferociously.
The fact that his eyes vibrated once greatly was because his sanity was momentarily disturbed by the unexpected reply. However, the calm look in his eyes was so eerily calm and perfectly beautiful.
It’s not a matter of swallowing the prey in front of him right away…
Seo Jun, who wrapped his big hand around the chin of a small face as if holding it, tried his thumb on her plump lips.
She was a tender woman. Her red lips, which were colored like a blooming flower at the slow movement of his fingertips, opened slightly like a newly blooming bud.
Whether it was because of the hot touch stuck to her skin, or because of the strange feeling from her lips, So Yeon’s shoulders narrowed and shuddered.
Is this how a young animal feels when bitten by a fierce beast’s fangs? So Yeon, who was pierced in the heart by a man who never let go of his leisure and grace, could only flutter her long, dense eyelashes without moving.
When his touch left her face after a while, So Yeon exhaled a deep sigh of relief.
But that was also for a moment.
The moment she saw Seo Jun naturally putting his thumb into his mouth, the embarrassment was solely hers.
“No, no…!”
Why is he…!
In an instant, So Yeon, known for her bewilderment, no longer saw the famously gentle Tae Seo Jun as a gentleman. Yet, despite his incomprehensible behavior, her problem was that she was falling for him, who maintained his noble demeanor.
“Look at this. If you’re so scared with just a touch of my fingertip, what are you going to do with me.”
“……”
Softening his expression, Seo Jun gently stroked So Yeon’s head, who could not make any sound.
“It’s because of me that you didn’t see or hear anything, once words and actions are out, you can’t pick them back up.”
Putting both hands in his trouser pockets and bending down to match So Yeon’s height, his wise smile looked like a winged angel to anyone.
“Heh…..!”
Were you making fun of me?
