Hye Yoon, with her forehead furrowed in an adultlike manner, spoke in a determined voice. The firmness that was hard to form on her soft face was wasted on such a statement. Ji Ho laughed, thinking that even that suited Hye Yoon.
“Heh, what about the writer?”
“I obviously look ordinary, right? I was like that when I was a student too.”
“Where should I look……to see that you’re ordinary?”
“What?”
But Ji Ho’s determination didn’t need to exert power anywhere. His eyes deepened in the blink of an eye as his eyelids flickered once. Even within the faint smile remaining on his lips, the eyes looking at her were endlessly serious.
The warm questioning gaze, and the one person who quietly watched.
“What are… you two doing? Are you starting the saltiness from the beginning?”
In the end, a frustrated sound burst from Min Woo’s mouth.
“Senior, that’s not it……”

“Mr. Ji Ho, why do you call her a writer? You can call her by her name as usual.”
At this point, even the title of ‘writer’ sounded pretentious to Min Woo. As Min Woo alternately glanced at the two, Hye Yoon expressed both their shares of embarrassment alone.
“No! Absolutely not! That’s not allowed.”
It absolutely wasn’t allowed. Considering how much her heart had raced when he called her by her name, this reaction was not an overreaction. Hye Yoon clenched her fist tightly and glared at Min Woo.
“Why are you saying it so scary?”
While looking at the same person, Min Woo had an odd expression, and Ji Ho looked on as if he knew the reason, with a joyful expression. Then, in response to Min Woo’s eyes seeking agreement, Ji Ho naturally added more words.
“The writer is right. Work is work.”
“What good is just saying that? Both of you have honey dripping from your eyes.”
“Is that so……”
At Min Woo’s grumbling, Ji Ho and Hye Yoon’s gazes intertwined. He looked at Hye Yoon, tilting one eyebrow in a naturally cute manner, and her eyes seemed so densely filled with unfairness that he had to laugh.

Her eyes, forehead, nose, and chin that couldn’t speak were pleading for him to stop. The problem was that this girl, who was like a child, seemed unaware that each of these little things were a time bomb.
“I’ll just accept your considerate heart. Hye Yoon has a position at the filming site too.”
Indeed, such expressions were never tiring no matter how many times he saw them.
At the sound of her name from Ji Ho’s mouth, Hye Yoon jutted out her lower lip. At her reaction, Ji Ho too quickly lowered his head and barely held back the corners of his mouth that were about to rise. It was the bitterest moment for Min Woo, who had no way of knowing the circumstances between the two.
“Director, we’re all set for shooting.”
“Is that so? Then shall we slowly begin?”
A single sentence from the assistant director soaked into the space between the three, which had been as light as a cotton puff. Like wet cotton, the atmosphere slowly grew heavier. The time to validate the reason they had gathered here was approaching.
The first scene was the one where the two people first meet.
The simple scene description written in the script was all there was. The task of expressing those three lines in a way that left an impact for more than three hours was entirely up to Ji Ho and Hye Yoon.
“Wow, the twoshot is really good. It’s insane.”

As the two in rehearsal were captured on the camera monitor, the assistant director whispered next to Min Woo. It was unclear whether he was speaking or being deeply moved.
“Isn’t it? I just wish they were a bit more scrawny.”
“What can we do about that default state? Let’s just give up on that. The viewers will just have to filter it out for themselves.”
“How did Mr. Ji Ho end up looking like that?”
“Heh. Director, you always say this whenever you see Ji Ho, right? You should get used to it.”
Despite having worked together on a project several years ago, Min Woo still seemed unable to get used to Ji Ho’s face.
“Alright, when Jong Soo opens the front door and comes in, Hee Soo gets up from the sofa and they both look right at each other!”
“Yes.”
Min Woo explained the upcoming scene in a loud voice. Hye Yoon had to get used to the fact that she would be called Hee Soo once the shooting started.
“Haa……”

As the surroundings quieted down, the delicate tremble trapped within her small body leaked out.
“Do you remember what I told you?”
“Huh? Which……what did you say?”
Ji Ho, who was looking at her out of the corner of his eye, soothed Hye Yoon’s pounding heart with his soft voice. Her eyes, looking up at Ji Ho, rippled softly with tension.
“I told you to do as you wish.”
“Ah……”
“I’ll accept whatever it is.”
Ji Ho’s eyes, looking down at her as he tilted his head, were screaming for her to look at him.
To read his heart. To trust him.
Hye Yoon simply nodded like someone overwhelmed by his energy. Only when Ji Ho gave a slight smile, showing he was pleased, was she able to smile as well. With that silent whisper, Ji Ho moved out of the entrance and Hye Yoon moved to the living room sofa.

“Ready…… Action!”
With Min Woo’s signal, Hye Yoon played Hee Soo, who found Jong Soo’s house unfamiliar and was visibly dispirited even though she tried to act otherwise. That was the Hee Soo that Hye Yoon had analyzed for several days.
And maintaining that tone, when she turned her head at the sound of the front door opening, she could see Ji Ho standing at the door.
For a moment, Hye Yoon felt as if chills were running down her calves beneath her school uniform skirt.
Jong Soo, who waited for his dad who came home about twice a week by boat, and Jong Soo, who came back late from school on the days when the house he shared with his dad was empty, was standing there looking at her.
“Oh, Jong Soo’s here. Why are both of you standing there? You’re family. You know Hee Soo, right? She’ll be living with us for a while until she moves into her dorm. Take care of her even when dad’s not around. Listen well.”
“You don’t have to say that, uncle.”
“No, he’s just like that because he’s not assertive, but he’s gentle.”
“Dad, I get it…… stop it.”
From peeking at Hee Soo at his dad’s words to the face trying hard to hide the rising embarrassment, Ji Ho was absent from that space.

“Cut! Good. Let’s move on to the next scene.”
