Thud. Thud.
As the sound of fast footsteps grew closer, Hye Yoon grew tense and Ji Ho seemed calm, as if he knew who it was. There could be no other, as there was only one person who would visit this house. The robust voice could be heard even before the face was visible, indicating just how urgent the situation was.
“Ji Ho! These guys, this is a composite of….”
Bong Gi’s words stopped at the entrance of the dining room. He was dumbfounded by the scene before his eyes. Ji Ho, having a meal with a woman at the table. Woman, breakfast, cooking? When viewed separately, these were all words that simply could not be tied to Ji Ho.
“It’s okay. It’s Manager Hyung.”
“…Ah, hello.”
“Chuckle.”
Ji Ho laughed at the whisper that was hardly audible enough to be a greeting. Hye Yoon bit down hard on her lips, which were tightly pursed over her tensed shoulders.
“Hyung, this is the scriptwriter of PD Kim’s drama.”
‘Ah, is that so?’
Bong Gi barely managed to hold back the words he was about to say. Only convoluted words like ‘So actors and scriptwriters synchronize their breathing like this before starting a project these days?’ were circling in his mouth.
He couldn’t help it, seeing as this was all he could see. Hye Yoon’s hair, which was not yet fully dry, the top that looked big as if she was wearing a giant’s clothes, and most of all, Ji Ho’s smiling lips, as if he liked what he saw.
This was a situation he was seeing for the first time in his nine years with Ji Ho, and it was an expression he was seeing for the first time.
“Yes. Nice to meet you.”
Bong Gi barely managed to compose himself. And then he suddenly came to his senses. Remembering why he had run so frantically made him realize this was not the time. Time was not plentiful.
“In truth… I’m very surprised. I thought it was nonsense, but then it’s not. My mind is getting confused now.”
“What’s going on?”
Only then did Ji Ho, who had been the most relaxed in this situation, look at Bong Gi. His smiling lips, which had hung onto Bong Gi’s unusual tone of speech, descended. And Hye Yoon, who had been alternatively watching the two of them, also gradually straightened her hunched shoulders.
“I should be the one hearing what’s going on.”
Bong Gi roughly shuffled over in his slippers and placed his phone on the dining table. The brightly lit screen contained images of Ji Ho and Hye Yoon from the previous night. Ji Ho’s eyebrows twitched nervously.
“Look, we need to resolve this now if we want to avoid a shitty situation tomorrow morning.”
As Ji Ho pushed the screen further with his finger, the pictures continued endlessly. Laughing while looking at each other, leaning on each other’s shoulders, reading a book together, getting in and out of a car.
Even the scene of carrying a drunken Hye Yoon into the house.
“This is…”
Hye Yoon couldn’t finish her short sentence because her heart was throbbing violently. It wasn’t just that she was at a loss for words; it felt like she was suffocating. All the moments when her memory had cut off were densely packed into dozens of photos. Ji Ho didn’t say anything.
“We’ll talk about the cause and consequence later. Anyway, they contacted me saying they are going to release this as the main news tomorrow morning.”
“…..”
“All we can do is decide whether or not to remove a few photos from here.”
“Then… ask them to remove this photo.”
Ji Ho, who had been listening expressionlessly, suddenly scrolled through the photos on Bong Gi’s phone. Soon, his finger stopped and pointed at one photo. A picture clearly showing the cover of Hye Yoon’s fairy tale book.
“Are you crazy? You should ask them to remove the last photo. Don’t you know what kind of imagination this can invoke?”
“Hyung… It’s okay.”
It was Ji Ho, twelve years younger than Bong Gi, who tried to calm down the escalated situation. As if nothing was going to happen, or perhaps even if it did, that would be all. His voice was mild and soft. It seemed like that voice was trying to reassure Bong Gi and Hye Yoon.
“We have to admit to the romance in the first place to be able to remove the photos.”
Bong Gi hastily tied his words. For some reason, the mature tone made his nose twitch. He remembered him saying not long ago that he wanted to take a break, which made him more concerned.
“If you give an exclusive interview, they say they will discuss and carry only a reasonable number of photos. If you don’t, there’s no need to say, they will release everything.”
“We were together because something happened yesterday, not in a relationship.”
“Oh, are you going to say that while showing a photo of carrying a woman in at midnight? Who’s going to believe that?”
“…Right. No one would believe it.”
Ji Ho laughed sarcastically. When he caught eyes with Hye Yoon, who seemed unable to breathe properly while watching both sides, there could have been warmth for a moment.
“You bastard, are you laughing?”
“You can’t admit to the romance, so they’re saying they will release everything….”
