In fact, nothing changes even if Ji Ho likes men. He did nothing wrong, and he had nothing to apologize for. Just a speechless bitterness was lumped together. About the relationship with absolutely no hope.
‘Look at me… What, if Ji Ho liked women, was there a lot of hope?’
The absurd sprout that Woo Joon had planted had grown into a vine and was tangling up Hye Yoon’s heart.
“So, Hye Yoon, you’re okay with it too, right? Changing the scene.”
“…”
“Writer Jang?”
“…Ah, yes. I think the same as Ji Ho.”
Hye Yoon was a bit late in responding as she had to push through the rapidly growing vine. At her response, Min Woo gave an odd smile.
“It’s nice. Filming with real couples.”
“Excuse me? What do you mean?”
Hye Yoon reacted with the opposite speed to the word ‘couple’, looking startled.
“That’s right. Since you’re a couple, you wouldn’t feel sorry even if you raise the intensity.”
“…What?!”
“Huh? Why?”
“Intensity?”
And she stared at Min Woo as if she was starting a fight with the followup words. Rather, Min Woo was the one who was taken aback by her reaction.
“What? Did you agree without even knowing what scene it is?”
“Ah…”
Hye Yoon quickly rewound time. A scene she barely grasped along with a frown on her face.
‘How about changing the scene we’re going to shoot the day after tomorrow?’
‘If Ji Ho is okay with it, then so am I.’
‘Do you know what scene it is?’
The playfulness in Ji Ho’s eyes was assumed to be one of the usual affections she’d always seen. That must have been the problem. He had even told her to meet Min Woo.
“But since you’re the writer, you know. There isn’t much physical intimacy in this work.”
“That’s right… Then, what scene is being changed?”
“Hee Soo looks at Jong Soo, who fell asleep before she leaves. It’s the only scene that shows Hee Soo’s feelings, so I want to make it more explicit. Lightly press lips to his cheek? Just slightly.”
“…”
When her response didn’t continue, Min Woo turned his head and alternately looked at Hye Yoon’s face and the small fist resting on her thigh. He found it cute, wondering if that fist was about the size of her currently open mouth.
“Hehe. Hye Yoon, are you this cute even when Ji Ho isn’t around? You’re going to dislocate your jaw.”
Min Woo reached out without realizing. When the mind moves, the body follows. As he lifted her small jaw with his hand, Hye Yoon who had closed her mouth, focused on him.
“Then you’re okay with changing the scene?”
“…Did Ji Ho say it’s okay?”
“Yes.”
His gaze, implying that it should have been obvious, mischievously stared at Hye Yoon.
“Ah, he did say that. He said if you seem even slightly hesitant when asked, we should go back to the original plan.”
However, no matter how playful the teasing that popped up now and then was, it couldn’t surpass the jealousy. Min Woo recalled the memories of the previous day. Precisely, the affection shown by the man who wasn’t here.
“And… Can I say this? It’s something that came up naturally while talking about this scene.”
“What is it?”
“He said not to put any pressure on you during the filming. Hee Soo has done her part just by existing, and he’ll handle the rest.”
“Ah…”
“I thought Ji Ho is certainly protective of his person. No, his woman.”
“…”
Hye Yoon silently lowered her head. Because he was too affectionate, warm, a good man, the lump of disappointment was growing.
‘Let’s do as we always did. Treat as we always have.’
She had made this resolution several times, from the moment she fell asleep the previous night until she opened her eyes in the morning. Even counting on her fingers and toes wouldn’t be enough to keep track.
“Did the shooting go well yesterday?”
“…Yes.”
Even if everything Min Joo said about his exlovers was true, and if that was only the tip of the iceberg, and even if Woo Jun’s assertion was correct, she knew all too well that nothing would change.
“By the way, have you discussed the changing scene with the director today?”
“…Yes.”
The problem was that such rational thinking disappeared in front of Ji Ho’s face. Also, the problem was that disappointment was looming everywhere his gaze landed, making it difficult to look at him properly.
And the bigger problem was,
“Um… Did something happen?”
“…”
“From your two ‘yes’ responses, Ji Ho could read your feelings.” She didn’t want to lie, at least not to Ji Ho, even amidst all this. Problem. Problem. Problem. Problems that couldn’t be solved were piling up like a mountain.
Hye Yoon just lowered her head without answering. Rather than lowering, it was more of a sag.
“Something definitely happened.”
Ji Ho watched the awkwardness with a faint smile. The broken Hye Yoon had once again attracted his attention.
“It’s definitely comfortable in many ways. Working with real lovers.”
The two looked at Min Woo, whose step was as refreshing and swift as his personality.
Despite the early morning, he looked cheerful and alternated his gaze between Ji Ho and Hye Yoon. One side seemed to lack energy today as well, so he decided to pour his attention to the side where the conversation seemed smooth. Min Woo curled up the corner of his mouth towards Ji Ho.
“Imagine it was any other time. Just trying to change a little bit of the skinship scene, there would have been a back and forth. Do you like it, do you dislike it, then how far do you like it, that side can’t go any further, sigh…”
“Chuckles. It seems like you want to change something more.”
“Oh, of course. It’s better to just talk about the main point instead of showing off tricks, right?”
There was a reason Min Woo looked cheerful from the morning. His ambition to eventually draw the picture he wanted by lifting the mood in a good atmosphere.
Having worked with numerous directors, Ji Ho immediately caught onto his intentions, while Hye Yoon was still unable to grasp the situation and stood there unable to relax.
“Let’s go a bit further with that scene. Not on the cheek, but a kiss on the lips.”
And with Min Woo’s following words, her body froze solid.
