“Would it be rude if I asked for your number?”
That was his main purpose for coming today. So this time, he had no intention of avoiding her gaze. Of course, he didn’t expect Hye Yoon to avoid so easily.
Whenever he looked at her, as soon as his words ended, she turned her gaze away. Maybe she didn’t want to show any empty hearts or actions as much as empty words.
She seemed like a type of woman he had never seen before in his life.
“You could ignore my call even if we exchanged numbers out of courtesy.”
“……I think that’s more discourteous.”
“Ah……”
A small sigh escaped from his mouth, which had been speaking without hesitation. His brows, drawn together in a strange awe, were also directed at one person.
His moist eyes looked very young and fragile, but with those eyes, he looked at people astonishingly well. He said everything he wanted to say, but his words were shivering instead of being sharp. He looked deeply into whatever he was told, listened deeply, and smiled gently.
Was it because it was strange, he really wanted to know more.
“Can I… ask one more question, since I have already shown my audacity?”
He who had been speaking coolly, for the first time attached a slow speech.
“Yes, it’s fine.”
Hye Yoon looked at Do Hyuk. She thought all she could do for him was to answer his questions. Today and in the future.
“Are you really dating Ji Ho?”
“What?”
And an attack always comes in the moment of complacency, thinking you’ve fully understood the opponent. Her eyes, widened in surprise, looked at him, but he was looking at the ground, too busy talking. Fortunately.
“I know all the circumstances here. There was no love affair scandal, and judging by the fact that it started with an outright admission, it must have been coordinated in advance.”
“……”
“And… PD Kim said it, didn’t he? That the scenario was given to me first. The article about being lovers was released not long after receiving that…”
He, who was rolling the end of his sentence in his mouth, finally lifted his head. However, Hye Yoon’s eyes had already returned to their original size, and she was looking at him quite seriously.
“It’s too fast.”
Their gazes were fixed on each other. It was Do Hyuk who asked the embarrassing question, so the eyes that would accept it belonged to Hye Yoon.
“Wow… I don’t know how to take in such an unfamiliar look.”
Unexpectedly, Do Hyuk’s gaze wavered.
Could there be a man who wouldn’t waver under such intense scrutiny? He, who had asked the question and ended up answering it, found himself ridiculous.
“That’s why I’m looking at you too. I don’t know how to take such an unfamiliar question.”
It was a humorous situation, Hye Yoon calming him down after observing even his wavering gaze.
“Do Hyuk!”
At that moment, a man standing in front of a distant car called Do Hyuk, pointing at his wristwatch. He kept emphasizing the time, hinting that he should end the conversation quickly.
“Oh, it’s a shame. But we’ll see each other again soon.”
“Me?”
“Yes. I heard you have a shoot in Busan. We also have a stage greeting in Busan. That day… I hope Ji Ho won’t be there.”
He got up heavily from his unwilling to let go position. His tone was playful, but like Hye Yoon whom he met for the first time today, he tried speaking sincerely. Following him, Hye Yoon also stood up awkwardly, smiling.
Watching her dust off her pants, Do Hyuk added another sentence. His eyes always scrutinized deeply, so he wished they would understand this feeling too.
“I said that thinking I might just pretend it was a coincidence. If I tell you like this, I think you might think of me in the meantime.”
At his words, Hye Yoon tensed her face. The small wrinkle on her nose was a sign that she couldn’t agree.
Once? Leaving such a question.
“I think it will be several times.”
“That would be really nice. But you’re not going to give me your number, right?”
“Yes.”
“Wow, you’re really firm.”
Do Hyuk tried to hide his stinging feelings by unnaturally lifting the corners of his mouth. Hye Yoon mimicked his expression in a similar way. The hand gestures directed at him from afar were getting faster.
“Then I’ll listen to the answer to the question from earlier in Busan. We’ll have plenty of time then.”
“……Yes.”

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect.

He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
