His lips slowly began to part. The quiet soliloquy lingering in his mouth instinctively moved toward the light. Right next to him, to the dazzling woman.
“…Maybe I should only say such beautiful words.”
“Huh? What’s wrong with saying that something great is great?”
Hye-yoon’s small face was full of affection. Jiho engraved her smile, which matched the innocent curiosity so well, into his heart.
And his eyes, facing her, began to look around again.
What she did most today. But this time, it was for a different reason. Not just her memories, but to add Jiho’s memories. It seemed like Jiho’s distance transferred completely to Hye-yoon’s voice a moment ago.
“Well, since this is the last shoot for Jongsu and Heesoo… I’ll be a little absent-minded while acting. I shouldn’t interfere with Jang Hye-yoon this time. Adult Jiho should enjoy walking with little Jiho.”
The end of the gaze that slowly enveloped the surroundings was eventually one person. The bright smile, like spring sunshine, also turned toward one man. If he had known a little earlier, he might have stepped back a few times in his heart. Still, he was grateful for the remaining chance.
“No, that’s not it. What’s the point if Jang Hye-yoon is missing from here?”
“Huh? Was I such a big presence?”
But Jiho soon spoke with a firm voice. His neat gesture suited him well. Hye-yoon shrugged her shoulders for a moment. Although she playfully raised her chin as if she had become a great person, it was only for a moment.
In front of resolute sincerity, jokes disappeared amusingly and completely.
“What’s the use of salvation if the world disappears?”
“…”
Her stiffened head held high.
A man telling her that she is the world in a small way. It seemed like he was trying to hold little Jiho’s hand and bring him to himself. Although he wished he could feel more moved at this moment, in the end, he was the one who enjoyed the complete emotion and lingering.
“Wow… Maybe I should only say such beautiful words.”
There was a moist feeling in the voice filled with subtle trembling.
Jiho smiled faintly. The words returned to him were far more beautiful than when they came out of his mouth. Looking at the eyes that seemed like they might really cry, he mixed a bit of playfulness. Of course, everything was sincere.
“I want to say only beautiful words to a beautiful person, you know?”
“…This is serious trouble.”
“What is?”
Of course, there was no lie in Hye-yoon’s words either.
“Whether it’s shooting or whatever, I want to take you when I go to Seoul.”
“Wow… This is really serious trouble.”
“Hehe. Is the writer too irresponsible?”
“No. Because if you ask me to go, I won’t refuse.”
The two of them giggled briefly. They decided to put off the heavy and deepening feelings for later.
Jongsu: (thinking) Becoming a cool adult?
Heesoo: (looking at Jongsu) Like an uncle?
Jongsu: (looking at Heesoo, smiling) Yes. An adult like our dad. (hesitating, looking straight) An adult like you.
The pedestrian crossing signal changes.
“Cut! We’ll finish shooting here today! Writer Jang Hye-yoon, thank you for your hard work!”
With Minwoo’s loud voice, applause poured from everywhere. Short greetings, laughter, and applause blended like harmony. Hye-yoon nodded slightly as the lowered gaze passed over her body. Wearing a school uniform had become so familiar. Even to Heesoo, whom she had been with for two months, she silently conveyed her greetings. Your world, which I couldn’t create more for you, will surely be arranged as you want.
And when she raised her head, she could meet Jiho’s gaze. His gaze was warm enough to make you forget about winter.
“Thank you very much, really. It’s a bit regrettable.”
“Yes. Now… the actress play is over.”
He looked at Hye-yoon’s fresh tone with a pleased expression.
“I’ve never seen a drama special with so many ads attached.”
“Have you ever seen real-time comments pouring in?”
The dinner, which started at 9 o’clock, had already passed 10 o’clock in the blink of an eye. The opening was so different from the usual time that started after several ads were packed together.
On the channel next to it was a drama that had been the number one in ratings for several months. Therefore, in fact, competition was out of the question. Everyone thought that it was enough to raise a toast just to be able to do this low-budget drama side by side on Friday at 10 o’clock.
Of course, it was overwhelmingly number one in terms of publicity. Because Jiho and Hye-yoon were dominating all SNS at this time.
‘Let’s not peek today.’
‘What?’
‘Whatever. Let’s just watch the broadcast for now, and we’ll see the reactions later.’
