“I really feel unfair.” Hye-yoon wanted to send a firm gaze, but the rapidly continuing conversation didn’t allow for such a moment.
“One of the actors that day kept pestering me.”
“Why?”
In the end, she had no choice but to postpone the explanation. Hye-yoon tried to refill the empty beer glass of the assistant director. His hands receiving the glass were as long as the continuing answers.
“He kept asking me to introduce you. How old are you? Give me your number… No, why ask about age if you’re going to talk about the work? So I said I didn’t know the contact information, but he didn’t believe me. He kept calling me until that day.”
“Wow… I didn’t know. Please tell me.”
Hye-yoon was immediately absorbed in the untold stories. With the help of alcohol, her voice became louder, conveying even small emotions greatly.
Therefore, Hye-yoon also felt embarrassed and sorry.
“Oh, my boyfriend was right there, you know. And the director told me never to say anything. The writer really hates that.”
“I do hate it. I’m sorry for causing you trouble for no reason.”
“There’s nothing for the writer to be sorry about. Just telling you that this happened. Since it’s the last time now… Are you disappointed?”
The booming voice sank abruptly in front of awkward sincerity. The four letters ‘Are you disappointed?’ felt too small, too precious. The two laughed and clinked their beer glasses.
In the middle of passing a sip, eyes rolled and touched a place. When Hye-yoon and Jiho made eye contact again, the smile that flowed down her eyes disappeared. Under the dim eye smile, the finely curved lips spoke silently.
‘You don’t dislike it?’
So, she also quickly moved her lips as if whispering.
‘I said sorry.’
Hye-yoon was trying to convey emotions that couldn’t be fully expressed in words all over her face. For a moment, the female staff sitting on the opposite side caught the tail of the assistant director’s recent words.
“That’s right! Two people asked me to introduce Hye-yoon. They didn’t know Hye-yoon’s real appearance was different from the photos, so they didn’t know that Jiho is her boyfriend. Once I told them, they immediately backed off.”
“Hye-yoon is subtly popular.”
“Who doesn’t like a cute girl in the world?”
At the laughter, she looked awkwardly. The diminishing smile on the beautiful face seemed about to vanish. With a faint trace of a smile, Jiho nodded his head.
Jiho was a bit annoyed. Whenever Hye-yoon made eye contact, she showed a world-smooth face. The vague eyes saying ‘I’m unfair’ weren’t cute only to his eyes. It wasn’t just an unnecessary worry, especially since the pouring words from all directions were perfectly waking him up.
“Jiho, thanks to you, I worked comfortably all this time.”
“That’s something I should say. Thank you very much.”
“Mr. Jiho, do you still have one more week left? Finish that as well, us.”
Jiho tilted the bottle to another new staff member. A courteous celebration of the two months spent together. Now, he needed to focus more on this. He completely withdrew the gaze he sent to Hye-yoon.
The one who was anxious, glancing around with a guilty conscience, was always a problem, even interpreting trivial actions in a big way.
His gaze lingered and then left. Anxiety and impatience were growing all over Hye-yoon’s face.
“You seem to have received three glasses, but please take one more of my drinks as a bonus. I really want to give it to the writer before she gets up.”
“Oh, Manager.”
When the feeling of being upset surfaced on her chin, during the time when she was feeling uneasy, Bong-gi came up beside her. Eyes filled with various emotions were piled up on the smiling face. Hye-yoon smiled faintly at him.
The thick beer bottle in his hand felt unusually small. Swoosh. Amidst the pouring sound of beer, Bong-gi’s first feelings were heard.
“You worked hard. Somehow… you suffered both in front and behind the camera, really?”
The two laughed similarly. Between their gazes, only the three of them knew stories were silently exchanged. Hye-yoon also casually filled Bong-gi’s glass.
“Do you have any plans for the next project? Even a rough plan?”
“Yes, not now.”
Without a second of hesitation in the answer, Bong-gi shook his head. Actually, since he was managing all contacts toward her, he knew. Still, just in case, he asked.
“…So, both Jiho and you are taking a break.”
He said what he wanted to say. He lightly handed the beer.
“Oh, after the drama ends, Jiho said he might go on a trip… I heard it a long time ago.”
“Who said that? Jiho?”
“Yes.”
With only white traces left in the empty beer glass, Bong-gi looked at the glass quietly and raised the corners of his mouth sadly.
“Travel… You have to come back for it to be called a trip.”
A faint sigh was heard at the end of his words. Hye-yoon lifted the beer bottle again, pondering his words.
What is he saying? Does that mean he won’t come back?
