And quickly, as if waiting for his words, he took them. A fearlike emotion he felt for the first time from a man much younger than himself, and of the same sex.
‘If he continues to bother you, let me know my number.’
And with a faint smile on his lips, his eyes softened as he added one last word. In fact, even if his eyes were wide open, it didn’t seem like his mood had completely improved. Absolutely not.
Min Woo shivered briefly as if he could feel the emotions from two days ago.
“Hye Yoon, aren’t you scared of Ji Ho?”
“Eh? Why would I be scared of Ji Ho?”
Seeing Hye Yoon look at him with an innocent face made it hard for him to speak. Like, ‘Everyone else is scared of him. They’d like to die for him, but they hesitate a thousand times before speaking to him.’
“Just… never mind.”
The words he wanted to say were spinning around the edge of his throat.
“By the way, Ji Ho.”
“Yes.”
An hour before Hye Yoon’s offwork time. Ji Ho, who had been having a conversation with Bong Ki, walked back into the set. Hye Yoon had been licking her lips all afternoon, preparing to say something.
“Well… there’s this guy Cha Do Hyeok. I heard he might be coming on Friday.”
“I see.”
Despite his affirmative response, a moment of coldness flashed in his eyes. Afraid that her feelings would be revealed, she kept her head lowered and only moved her eyes slightly.
“Min Woo senior is also coming just for a bit to see him. He’s not going to stay long and he has some business around. … Just a greeting with me?”
“Yeah. But why are you checking with me?”
As if Ji Ho wouldn’t know her feelings.
“…Because it seemed like you disliked it.”
Only then did Ji Ho faintly smile at her. Hye Yoon, the only person who could see his real smile, would never know that in her lifetime.
They looked at each other for a while longer before Ji Ho suddenly spoke.
“What are you doing next Friday? It’s the last week of filming in Seoul, so there’s no filming on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.”
“Well… Maybe packing for Busan? I’m not sure yet.”
And her gaze wandered blankly as if she couldn’t think of anything. Ji Ho calmly watched Hye Yoon’s face.
“Then let’s go see a movie that day. It’s the premiere of this film.”
“……”
Hye Yoon lifted her head without a word. Though they had briefly met at a cafe, it had been rather sudden. The thought of meeting him properly for the first time started her heart racing.
“Huh?”
Towards the quiet Hye Yoon, Ji Ho tilted his head. It was enough without him showing eyes seeking so much agreement.
“……Alright.”
It seemed like she nodded her head in time with her racing heartbeat. Seeing Hye Yoon’s satisfied expression, Ji Ho too mimicked her nod and stood up.
“And don’t look out for my reaction because of Cha Do Hyeok.”
“Ah……”
“Having to pretend not to be angry while watching your reactions is my situation.”
“Hey…… there’s no such thing.”
Ji Ho said such nervewracking words too nonchalantly. It made her wonder if she was the weird one for feeling nervous.
“So that I don’t have to be cautious while watching the movie.”
As Hye Yoon turned her gaze away for a moment in her own thoughts, Ji Ho used her curiosity to draw her gaze back to him.
“Huh? Why would you need to be cautious while watching the movie?”
“I was already furious because I didn’t like the trailer, and I think I’ll feel the same about the main film.”
Hye Yoon’s eyes widened in unjustified laughter.
“Ah, seriously! That was just a joke. I’m not that narrowminded.”
“Chuckles. Really?”
“Yes. Really really!”
“We’ll see that day. How magnanimous you are.”
A clenched fist and a foot pounding on the floor. Ji Ho looked over her with pleasure.
“So next Friday is our date. But I do have a bit of schedule, so I’ll pick you up after work.”
“……Yes.”
Did the phrase ‘I’ll pick you up’ also count as a heartfluttering one? Hye Yoon concluded that she was strange for feeling excited about such a trivial phrase.
The shooting continued for about an hour after that, and the day of wearing a school uniform here would end if tomorrow came. The remaining set shooting was all in everyday clothes. They would wear it again during the outdoor shooting in Busan, but it would feel a lot different from now.
Even if they didn’t say it, they often stared at each other when they had a chance.
Trying to remember a little more of the beautiful sight.
“Alright, everyone? I want to hear some opinions about what extent would be good for tomorrow.”
It was when the afternoon shooting was all over and Ji Ho and Hye Yoon were about to exchange eye greetings. Min Woo’s excited voice was getting closer from inside the bustling set.
“What is it?”
“What is it. I’m talking about the level of the kissing scene.”
“Mommy……”
The word that bubbled up in response to the thought of going home was indeed “mommy”. She immediately felt like her whole body was shrinking and she involuntarily missed her mother. Ji Ho alternated his gaze between the two with amusement.
“What extent do you want?”
As soon as Ji Ho’s tone hinted at laughter, Min Woo continued his words as if he had been waiting.
“Well, me, for starters, as Jongsu is a high school student, it shouldn’t be too raunchy. But then again, it’s a dream, isn’t it? Moreover, it’s a dream had at a very passionate age. So then what……”
“So, you’re saying don’t go too bland?”
“Yes. Please.”
The true intention that had been completely revealed was very simple. Ji Ho and Min Woo laughed at the clear expression of ‘please’.
“Anyway…… please do it well between you two. Ah, Ji Ho, you should do it. Hye Yoon is… she seems to have frozen in that state.”
Min Woo was all smiles until the very end as he left the set. With the thought that he wished tomorrow would come quickly. And Hye Yoon, watching Min Woo retreat, slowly relaxed her stiff body. She wanted to try to appear composed, even though it was late.
“But do you know that?”
“……What?”
However, Ji Ho seemed to disagree with that decision. Hye Yoon looked at Ji Ho at the question that had been cut off both front and back. Naturally, Ji Ho, who was waiting for her gaze, had been looking down at her from the start.
“I’m pretty good at kissing.”
“Eek……”
At his voice uttering a strange expression she had never heard before, Hye Yoon’s small mouth opened wide. On the other hand, the corners of Ji Ho’s mouth were playfully raised.
“Look forward to tomorrow.”
