Hye Yoon headed towards the set with her script. The waiting room seemed to be used for eating as well, and it was a bit suffocating to go by car.
Squeak
As the heavy door opened with difficulty, silence fell. An empty set after everyone left.
“……Huh?”
And there, only one person remained.
In the set located on the border of light and darkness lit by a few lights, Ji Ho was present. Unaware of Hye Yoon’s presence yet, he was engrossed in reading the script, leaning against the sofa in the living room set.
The tie loosely untied beneath the slightly open collar of his shirt. The long fingers twirling a pen looked elegant, as if they were playing a soft melody. The tip of his feet was idly fidgeting, with his long legs crossed.
She took a step after staring blankly at him. If she didn’t, it seemed like she would keep watching. In the approaching shadow, Ji Ho finally raised his head. Despite the unexpected appearance, he didn’t seem surprised, almost as if he had been waiting.
“Hmm…… what is it?”
However, contrary to the calm light playing on his face, his tone was feigning surprise playfully.
“Ah, that…… I was going to go to the waiting room…… I even thought about taking a car……”
“Chuckle. Don’t back down knowing it’s a joke.”
As Hye Yoon stammered with awkward sentences, Ji Ho lightened her efforts. Even though he knew it was all really a joke, he was still so enthusiastic about his response. He watched her head moving bashfully with satisfaction.
“Did you eat?”
“……Yes.”
“As it’s more physically demanding than you think, you should eat well.”
The low voice echoing in the tranquil space like a forest, the subtly spreading smile. Hye Yoon bit her lips tightly. If she didn’t, she felt like the thumping sound of her heart would leak from her lips.
‘……Who said so?’
‘What?’
‘Who said that Ji Ho treats people well and is affectionate?’
Therefore, it was natural that Min Woo’s words were tormenting her again.
Ji Ho, who couldn’t know the complexity in Hye Yoon’s mind, beckoned to the empty seat next to him. Her hesitating little feet looked like a lost duckling, and Ji Ho gave a slight smile.
“Wow…… Ji Ho, do you even do this?”
However, unlike her hesitant steps, when she saw Ji Ho’s script up close, she approached it instantly. The script was filled with words in every margin. He had written down his emotions and movements beneath the stage directions and lines.
The extent of his effort was surprising, so she could momentarily forget many things. His deep eyes looking up at her, akin to a deep well, and their knees that came so close as if they were about to clash due to her drawing close as if driven by her curiosity.
“I have to make an effort when I’ve been given such a good script.”
“But this is too…… quite remarkable.”
“Everyone does this much.”
“No. No one does this much.”
She looked hard at the script as if she would pierce through it. Ji Ho naturally stuck the pen in between the pages of the script and closed it. Hye Yoon couldn’t take her eyes off it till the script was fully closed, as if she wanted to see more.
“Hmm…… I think I need to reflect a lot.”
“Eh? Suddenly?”
Her curiosity was bubbling, but Hye Yoon quickly became downcast and hung her head low. Ji Ho watched her intently.
“Seeing Ji Ho make so much effort for Jong Soo, I started feeling guilty about Hee Soo.”
“I see……”
He also added an interjection to let the drooping Hye Yoon grumble more. Even knowing it was wrong, she couldn’t help it. It wasn’t that she could only think straight when it came to this woman.
In Ji Ho’s eyes, looking up at an angle, affection bloomed faintly.
“I want to express why Jong Soo fell in love with Hee Soo in a way that the viewers can strongly feel…… But I don’t have the skills to match my ambition. And my effort is lacking too.”
She seemed to bubble with gloom from her small chin.
“In that case, there’s no need to worry. You’ve already expressed it all.”
“……I know you’re just saying that to make me feel better.”
“No, really.”
Ji Ho uncrossed his legs.
“The writer said that at the end, when Hee Soo left for the dormitory, Jong Soo cried thinking about Hee Soo’s shoes that had disappeared from the entrance. Realizing he loved her? But for me, it’s the opposite.”
A stubbornness was felt in her serious voice. Hye Yoon looked at Ji Ho. She cast a deep gaze at the man who made you want to believe anything.
“Jong Soo…… likely loved Hee Soo from the first day she came home. From the first moment he saw Hee Soo’s 230mm sneakers at the entrance.”
“……Love at first sight?”
He put down the script he was covering on the couch next to him. As if, from now on, it was not the domain of .
“Yes. Not because he treated her well, or because affection slowly developed.”
And then he slowly got up. Hye Yoon, now realizing that their knees were about to touch, quickly stepped back. When her feet stopped, as always, she could see Ji Ho looking down at her.
Ji Ho hesitated for a moment. What was the best way to convey sincerity? When words and gazes felt inadequate, perhaps the best would be when their body temperatures touched.
“From afar like this…… precisely.”
He lightly grabbed Hye Yoon’s shoulders with his two outstretched hands. The feeling of warm silence spreading from his palm throughout her body. She intended to convey her heart, but it felt like she received it through her stomach.
“The moment they found each other’s existence.”
“……”
“That’s when they loved.”
In the empty set, their gazes intertwined. In each other’s eyes, only their own faces were filled, transparently rippling.
Despite her pounding heart, Hye Yoon didn’t avoid his gaze. She wanted to find the true owner of this affection. Whether it was Jong Soo, or the actor An Ji Ho pretending to be a fake lover.
Or truly, the man An Ji Ho.
A small expectation was already sprouting.
