He didn’t want to show that weak side of him, especially in front of that man who was relaxed from the beginning to the end.
So he exaggerated a bit.
“Hey, I’m the one who was just fine even with a hole in my forehead. This is nothing compared to that time…”
“….”
He meant to tell her not to worry, but the atmosphere soured as if cold water had been thrown onto it.
Because it was a scene where he had been hurt on behalf of her under the lights at the filming location.
Semyoung was regretting his words and hastily made an excuse.
“Um, Kang. My words didn’t mean that……”
“That’s why I told you to just leave me be.”
Listening to Kang’s gloomy voice, he felt an urge to punch his own face out of regret.
“No, I just thought you might starve all day…… That’s why I said that.”
At Semyoung’s voice, which sounded like he was about to fall through the floor, Kang laughed weakly.
“I won’t die just because I skip a meal. So you should worry about yourself. If possible, don’t come too close to me.”
“Hey. I am your manager after all, how can you tell me not to come near you?”
“I say this because you keep getting into trouble when you’re with me.”
She calmly said and then forced a smile.
At a loss for words, he sighed heavily.
Kang’s fingers, awkwardly winding the bandage, kept touching his bruised skin, but it was his heart that hurt more.
Semyoung said as if making a plea.
“I won’t leave.”
“…….”
“No matter what happens, I’ll be your manager till the end.”
Semyoung, who had seen up close how everyone who stayed by her side left her, was the one who said this.
So he knew very well why Kang was worried, what thoughts led her to say such things.
Knowing his feelings, she just smiled bitterly.
San, who had been quietly watching the two from a distance, opened his mouth.
What a tearjerking scene.
“You two seem very close.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Semyoung responded.
“Yes. As you can see, we’re very close.”
San nodded with a light smile.
“It seems that way. Because I’ve been watching……”
Watching what?
Soulmates? Or, longtime lovers? Family?
Semyoung stared at his lips, waiting for what he would say next, and after a moment, San spoke.
“You look like a mother and daughter.”
“What?”
Kang, who had been caught off guard by the words “mother” instead of “brother” or “father,” burst into laughter.
It was natural that Semyoung’s face crumpled.
Taking advantage of the unintentionally softened atmosphere, San began briefing the two about the task at hand.
It wasn’t much different from the usual security work.
He said there was no need for a long speech, as showing the client’s safety with actions was more trustworthy than babbling about it a hundred times.
If there was one thing that was hard to accept immediately, it was the fact that his socalled close protection was applied even outside the official schedule.
Just by looking at the man in front of him who had become his neighbor, it seemed as if he could see the picture that was to be drawn in the future.
Of course, all decisions would have been made according to Director Hwang’s instructions.
However, it felt like it was too much even for something that should be stripped if it comes from above.
“But isn’t that too much of an invasion of privacy? Celebrities are humans too, I don’t think there’s a need to do so even on their days off.”
Sam Young asked, to which San replied with a smile.
“If something unpleasant happens to Mr. Seo Kang on his day off, will the manager take responsibility?”
As if poking at an accident that occurred while he was away a few months ago, Sam Young couldn’t say anything.
Perhaps from the beginning, since the roles they were given were different, it meant not to waver more about this.
The atmosphere stiffened for a moment, but San casually continued the conversation.
“You don’t have to worry too much. Most of the things, except for special situations, apply only when Mr. Seo Kang needs me.”
His gaze turned to Kang.
“So, whenever you feel like you need me.”
“……”
“Just call me.”
((())) ((())) ((()))
That night.
Sam Young, who returned home, finished his remaining time by doing the piled up housework.
After folding the laundry that had been washed and hung during the day, she organized it, cut the green onions that had been planted in the Styrofoam box and sorted them according to their use and put them in the freezer.
Having finished her busy day, she took out the ginger syrup she had made herself.
Then, she scooped the contents with a rice spoon and transferred them to a bowl and poured hot water.
When she went outside, the pungent smell of ginger spread into the chilly night air.
Sam Young sat on the bench in front of the rooftop room and drank it.
While she was busy moving, San’s face flickered in her mind.
“Hoo.”
She unknowingly let out a sigh into the dark void, with her mind in disarray.
“Ah, the full moon is bright.”
She was talking to herself, looking up at the night sky where the moon had set.
Thud.
A heavy footstep brushed past Sam Young’s ear.
Startled, she turned her head while clutching her rice wine bowl.
The ambiance of the moonlit neighborhood rapidly became bleak with someone’s arrival.
If she wasn’t mistaken, the man standing in front of her was definitely San.
“What brings Director Han here at this time… No, how did you know our house?”
Sam Young blinked as if she couldn’t believe it.
However, instead of answering the question, he just smiled with an unexplainable smile.
The end of the black trench coat worn by San fluttered in the windless night.
The moonlight illuminating the darkness and the night view of the moonlit neighborhood blurred with light.
And the mysterious figure of a man, from head to toe in black, blending into the place was surreal.
Looking down at Sam Young, who was blankly staring at him, San spoke.
“Why I came here.”
“……”
“Don’t you, the manager, know better?”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
