Hye Yoon quickly changed the subject to hide her embarrassed heart and reddened cheeks. However, it was not just a question to avoid the situation. It was a question she had always been curious about but never had the chance to ask.
She lowered her head for a moment. And biting the soft flesh inside her mouth, she hoped the heat on her cheeks would subside soon.
“You said that you wrote to meet me.”
“……Yes.”
The still bowed face softly answered towards the floor. Ji Ho thought. If he wanted to see that clear face properly, there was only one way.
“So who do you think I wanted to meet by participating?”
Only to make her look up, even out of curiosity.
“Who I wanted to meet… I asked Kim PD to let us see each other alone before we participate.”
While chewing on his words quietly, Hye Yoon suddenly raised her head. Seeing her face, Ji Ho warmly squinted his eyes.
The face he thought would be pretty was prettier than he expected.
“……Me?”
“Yes.”
Surprised, Hye Yoon pointed at herself with her index finger and asked again, her surprise seemingly suppressing her shyness.
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
To her question, with eyes widened as if she couldn’t imagine, Ji Ho moved his head strongly as if a nodding sound would be heard in response.
As if there was no room for anyone else but her.
“We’re going to start shooting!”
The staff’s strong voice burst the bubble of romantic air enveloping the two. Ji Ho quickly expanded his view to outside the set, stepping back into reality. However, Hye Yoon, still trapped in the aftermath, stood there with a dazed face.
As a distant look clouded Hye Yoon in his side glance, a quiet smile spread on Ji Ho’s face. It was a pity, but he had to bring her here now.
“Let me know if you write a sequel later.”
“……Yes.”
“We can easily help from our side.”
“……Yes.”
Such a small and slow response meant that it was still not real.
“Well, it’s fine if you write something spicy with me in mind.”
“……Yes. ……What?!”
“Heh, you’re back now.”
About an hour of filming continued after that, but Hye Yoon couldn’t remember how she acted during that time.
Throughout the filming, Ji Ho’s voice and gaze swam in her heart.
“So I asked her sneakily. Where the foundation product was from.”
“Wow, Min Joo. You’re really something. You asked such a thing to a sister you’re not even close with?”
“I was just too curious. Every time I see her, her skin looks so good.”
It was the first time the three of them were on the way home together. Min Joo continued to tell stories from the filming set that Hye Yoon didn’t know. Perhaps because she hadn’t been able to move her body while driving, her shoulders and arms on the passenger seat moved constantly without a break.
Only Woo Joon, who was driving, remained silent.
“But why is Kim Woo Joon not talking?”
“……Huh? Did you call me?”
‘Silent Kim Woo Joon’ sounded weird, as if the words didn’t match up. At Min Joo’s action of looking at him from the passenger seat, only then did Hye Yoon, sitting in the back seat, pull herself tightly.
“Right. Woo Joon, did something upset you? At the filming set?”
Just 3 hours ago, he seemed to be busy joking whenever he made eye contact with her. But for him to become so reticent now. Beyond feeling awkward, Hye Yoon was a bit worried.
“No. I just have a bit to think about.”
“You’re thinking?”
“Hey, Hye Yoon. You must have heard wrong. Kim Woo Joon thinking.”
Their deliberate joke to lighten the mood didn’t reach Woo Joon’s ears. Because he was truly deep in thought.
When did he start thinking deeply? About 2 hours after leaving the filming set.
‘But… Is it just my feeling?’
‘What?’
‘No, just. Doesn’t it seem like he keeps looking at me?’
‘Who?’
‘……An Ji Ho.’
Woo Joon silently chewed over this morning’s events. The heat from Min Joo’s glare, filled with reproach, which poured out before his answer was even finished, seemed to linger on his right cheek as if it was still there.
Yes, he dismissed it as just his imagination. But there were too many. Too many moments when his eyes met with Ji Ho’s.
Whenever he felt a chilling sensation, as if it was cold enough to hurt, Ji Ho was always staring at him. And when their eyes met, Ji Ho would turn his gaze away nonchalantly, and a couple of times he didn’t even avoid his gaze, as if trying to see it through.
And once, he even smiled slightly. Just as he had the first time they exchanged a casual eyecontact, kindly.
“……What’s with the smile. Either keep staring or don’t.”
“Huh? Who’s smiling?”
“Never mind.”
Feeling frustrated, Woo Joon murmured to himself. The part he couldn’t understand the most was that one time. That one time Ji Ho looked at him as if he was about to carve him out and then lightly smiled when their eyes met.
That naturalness. That weirdness.
In fact, the cause of this situation was Woo Joon’s hands.
Fondling the saggy shoulders of Hye Yoon, or playfully touching her body. Each time, Ji Ho couldn’t hide his discomfort. Woo Joon had witnessed a variety of mistakes throughout the day, things that the usual Ji Ho would never do.
That one time when Ji Ho lightly smiled when their eyes met was actually the Ji Ho everyone always saw. If things were normal, Woo Joon would have seen only that side too.
If only he didn’t touch Hye Yoon.
“Woo Joon, why are you really like this. Huh?”
Hye Yoon started to worry about Woo Joon, who couldn’t easily let go of his serious expression, even at her and Min Joo’s jokes. Min Joo’s gaze, quietly watching him, also held the same concern as Hye Yoon.
“……No, it’s about An Ji Ho.”
“An Ji Ho? Why?”
At the unexpected mention of Ji Ho’s name, Min Joo reacted as quickly as a ball bouncing off the floor. The worry disappeared instantly from the corners of Hye Yoon’s surprised eyes.
“Ha… that guy seems gay.”
“What?!”
Unlike Min Joo, who asked back as if shouting, Hye Yoon couldn’t say a word.
