The flickering in the dark room on the bed ceased with Ji Ho’s message. The short sentence didn’t just illuminate Hye Yoon’s room.
“I’m still awake……”
Her fingers, quicker than her heart, swiftly typed ‘Are you finished now?’ but she couldn’t bring herself to press send. The reply seemed to end their conversation.
“Yes… Sleep well, Mr. Ji Ho.”
Perhaps it was a shame for the feelings she couldn’t express to just disappear, they flowed out like a monologue. It was a little upsetting without reason, and she knew it shouldn’t be, but it was. When the phone screen turned off, Hye Yoon’s room darkened again. Just like her heart.
The filming continued for several days. During those days, Hye Yoon slowly adapted to the place, and Ji Ho gradually showed fatigue on his face.
Next was Ji Ho’s individual filming scene. Hye Yoon approached Min Woo, who was sitting in front of the camera, tentatively.
“Senior, does Mr. Ji Ho start his standby earlier than me?”
“No? It’s the same.”
Both of them looked at Ji Ho moving in the camera monitor. Even though the equipment was good, it seemed incapable of capturing his aura.
“But why is that?”
“He always seems to arrive before me.”
“Yes. That seems to be Ji Ho’s working style. He usually comes around 7, right? You come at 8, don’t you?”
“…Yes.”
“Me too.”
Min Woo zoomed in on Ji Ho’s face in the camera screen with a smile. It was like a considerate gesture for Hye Yoon. It was fortunate that the subtle fatigue didn’t seem to be captured, not just his aura. Well, if he looked tired, that would have been attractive in its own way.
“It’s amazing seeing such a busy person do that. Of course, it’s good for us. We hardly see any NGs. There are cases when he’s not satisfied and asks for a retake.”
“That’s true. He must be tired……”
“Yes. He’s a perfectionist. But… as a boyfriend, is he okay?”
“Pardon?”
Hye Yoon, who was staring at Ji Ho filling the screen, quickly lowered her head to Min Woo. His expression as he sat on a low chair looking at her was not very playful.
“Usually, if one is strict with oneself, they’re the same with others. Where does human nature go? Even if suppressed, it tends to pop out when irritated.”
“Um… he’s extremely generous. Kind, like he takes care of other people.”
Hye Yoon hesitated in her answer. Looking back, every bit of Ji Ho fluttered her heart, so she had to suppress the feelings that emerged.
Without a second thought, he was unconditionally tender to me.
“…Who says so?”
“Pardon? What do you mean?”
However, as soon as her answer ended, Min Woo retorted. As if telling her to think again and again.
“Who says Ji Ho is good at taking care of people and is kind?”
“It seemed so when I always watched him…”
At his somewhat indifferent tone, Hye Yoon’s shoulders momentarily tensed. Seeing her disconcerted, Min Woo relaxed his expression.
“Well, Ji Ho is polite and kind. But that’s just it. He never goes beyond that. He prevents others from caring too. Didn’t you feel the wall?”
“……”
“In this field, the only way to avoid a single scandal for ten years at the top tier is just one. Building high walls and living alone within them.”
Min Woo, who let go of the closeup in the monitor, returned entirely to his usual bright smiling expression. Looking at Hye Yoon blinking slowly, lost in thought, he lifted his head high.
“Anyway, it’s a relief. If what you say is true, it means Ji Ho has been caring and tender to you only.”
“…Is that so.”
“Yes.”
In response, as if there was no need to think twice, Min Woo nodded. At the sight of him curling the corners of his mouth with a somewhat sullen expression, she gave a faint smile.
Hye Yoon looked at the real Ji Ho standing outside the monitor. Having heard such words, it was hard to convince herself that he had acted like her lover just for the sake of acting.
‘Could it be……’
She was afraid of the small expectations growing.
“I think I should stop eating.”
“Huh? You’ve only eaten half though?”
Lunchtime. In the appetizing lunch box, more than half of the rice and side dishes remained. Min Joo showed concern towards Hye Yoon, who put down her chopsticks. Even though Hye Yoon ate slowly, she always cleanly finished her given meal, which drew more attention.
“Yeah. When I eat a lot, it becomes a burden during shooting.”
“Is it because your condition is not good?”
“Not at all. I feel good with a moderately full stomach.”
Hye Yoon tapped Min Joo’s hand, which had stopped holding the chopsticks. After confirming the hand moving again, she looked around. Groups eating their lunch boxes here and there. She figured the waiting room not being on the terrace, and even behind the set building would probably look similar.
“Min Joo, I’m going to go in first and read the script.”
“Okay. I’ll also finish eating and follow soon.”
“No rush. Come slowly. Chew your food well, take a walk.”
Hye Yoon, who gently lifted her school uniform skirt, patted Min Joo’s head as if looking at a good child.
