“What nonsense…”
“I think An Ji Ho likes me.”
Woo Joon nodded his head as if to affirm, even muttering to himself, ‘Yes, that’s right.’ Min Joo shook her head vigorously before turning her eyes to the back seat.
“Hye Yoon, close your mouth.”
Thanks to her, Hye Yoon managed to close her mouth, which was wide open like a moon. Having checked on the person who was most surprised, Min Joo began to question Woo Joon relentlessly.
“So, you’ve been thinking this way?”
“Yes. I told you since this morning. It seems like An Ji Ho keeps staring at me.”
“Are you feeling okay?”
“Min Joo, I’m serious.”
Despite Min Joo’s stunned expression, Woo Joon turned off the radio nonchalantly. In the silence of the car, only the voices of a man who wasn’t laughing and a very unhappy woman resonated.
“I’ve been thinking about it. What could be the meaning behind the way An Ji Ho was looking at me today…”
“What?”
“Like… he was suppressing a very strong emotion? Yes, exactly that feeling.”
“Could it be he was suppressing the desire to strangle you?”
Unfortunately, Min Joo’s sarcastic comment turned out to be the right answer, although Woo Joon could not possibly know. His head, filled with confidence, showed a sign of denial.
“And sometimes, he would smile?”
“Maybe he found something funny?”
“No. It was like a strained smile. Yes… It must have been difficult. It must have required courage.”
“You’re in bad shape.”
No matter how seriously Woo Joon spoke, Min Joo did not seem to be in the mood to take him seriously. While Woo Joon and Min Joo’s funny arguments were going on in the front seat, only Hye Yoon was left wandering like a child abandoned in a strange neighborhood.
“Don’t get the wrong idea. An Ji Ho likes girls. I’ve heard he had two girlfriends.”
As if to squash the pointless argument, Min Joo threw in his love history. Simultaneously, pretty names that Hye Yoon had tried hard to forget began to weigh her down, sitting on her shoulders. Sitting alone in the back seat, Hye Yoon glared at the back of Min Joo’s head with drooping shoulders.
“Of course, he could’ve dated. He can’t have rumors spreading that he likes men.”
“Oh… that seems plausible?”
“So, pretending to be in a relationship with Hye Yoon wouldn’t be a loss for An Ji Ho.”
Angry eyes now turned to glare at the back of Woo Joon’s head. Her two best friends were taking turns discussing the least favorite topic.
“Jang Hye Yoon, didn’t you sense anything like that?”
“Never! Absolutely never! Don’t say such nonsense.”
Hye Yoon shook her head vigorously as she moved her body towards Woo Joon, who was looking at her through the rearview mirror. She just wanted this conversation to end quickly. Because even if it was a nonsense story, one tends to get sucked in if they keep listening.
“By the way, a while ago, An Ji Ho said that Hye Yoon was cute.”
“Look at this, I knew this would happen. It’s obvious he’s a pro.”
“At what?”
“Pretending to like girls by complimenting one who isn’t even cute.”
“Geez, you guys…”
Min Joo was enjoying Woo Joon’s reaction and kept fueling the fire, and the one burning most in those flames was Hye Yoon rather than Woo Joon.
‘No way…’
Therefore, the strong denial in her heart was already spreading as a small anxiety. Woo Joon, oblivious to her feelings, placed one hand on his chest and concluded the conversation.
“Anyway… I’ll be careful.”
It was a rather gentle tone for his broad and clumsy figure, saying that he would be careful. Min Joo laughed faintly at that sight, but Hye Yoon couldn’t laugh, her surprised heart still not at ease.
“Hye Yoon, why are you so gloomy all day today? Is it because Ji Ho isn’t here?”
The next day. Today was a day without Ji Ho’s filming. His filming schedule was going to proceed almost like this from now on. Resting one more day than others in a week, and on filming days, he would work twice as hard.
“That’s ridiculous. I just couldn’t sleep well.”
“So, it’s true you couldn’t sleep, and it’s also because of Ji Ho.”
“Ah…”
Min Woo smiled at Hye Yoon who mumbled the end of her answer. Hye Yoon was often childlike, she spoke wellbehaved and nice words, but was awkward at lying. She was deep yet delicate.
So, in Min Woo’s eyes, Hye Yoon, standing next to Ji Ho, was not lacking at all.
Rather, she was pitiful. When he heard that the two were dating, at first he thought ‘Jang Hye Yoon, you set your standards high.’ but in the end he concluded ‘An Ji Ho, you even have an eye for women.’
“By the way, I’m thinking of changing the filming scene tomorrow.”
“Oh… I heard from Ji Ho.”
At Min Woo’s words, she remembered what Ji Ho had said on the set yesterday. His cautious touch followed by the words that the scene might change.
What made her heart flutter and her body stiff yesterday, today it weighed heavily on her heart. Even though she believed she was not the one, she had chewed over Woo Joon’s words all night.
