By Zephyria If Sung Se-han is just alive and well, I promised with all my heart that I would never be greedy.
I clearly gave up the heart that I would miss for the rest of my life as a price.
But.
Now, I’m starting to get greedy.
Seeing Sung Se-han in front of me, the greed that was growing like a snowball emptied my head.
Now that we’ve met again like this, maybe it’ll be okay.
There’s no Status Window now, and no risk of accidents, right? Wouldn’t it be okay to like Sung Se-han as much as I want?
There must be a reason why we met again. Maybe it’s a reward given to me for only longing for him all this time….
Bang! I couldn’t leave my head alone, which was having ridiculous fantasies. I gritted my teeth and slammed it against the window, and Jeong-min, who was startled, grabbed my shoulder.
“Hyung! Be careful!”
“Huh? What’s wrong?”
“What, what’s going on?”
The members who had been sleeping started rubbing their eyes and looking around, and the car became noisy. I covered my forehead and quickly waved my hand.
“It’s nothing! I dozed off and hit my head on the window….”
“Heol? Be careful. Tae-kyung Hyung…!”
“Tae-kyung Hyungnim! Are you okay?”
After reassuring the surprised members, I closed my eyes again, pretending to sleep.
Fortunately, my throbbing forehead seems to be reminding me of the cold reality.
Get your act together, Lee Tae-kyung.
If you don’t want to see Sung Se-han get hurt again. Please.

“Hoo…!”
Even before the cover song video was released, I took a seat in an empty conference room. No, it would be more accurate to say that I was pacing back and forth the whole time rather than sitting.
My heart was pounding so much that I couldn’t sit down at all.
I don’t know how long I’ve been waiting for today, when I can listen to Sung Se-han’s cover song, Heaven, again. I recalled the day when the cover song was released last time and I listened to his husky vocals with a full heart, dozens of times.
Because of the penalty, the videos of the other teams, except for Perfect Puzzle’s cover song, which was scheduled to be uploaded at 2 PM, had already surpassed 100,000 views in an hour.
I also did my best to complete the video, but honestly, I didn’t really care about the number of views or the ranking. I just wanted to see Sung Se-han’s video. I just had a desire to hear that song again that I had missed so much.
“Time…!”
I sat down at my desk five minutes ago, opened my laptop, and reverently put my hands together.
One minute left. Ah, my heart feels like it’s going to explode.
Exactly 2 PM. Perfect Puzzle’s cover song was uploaded. My fingers, which were hurriedly clicking on the screen, slipped with tension.
“Huh?”
I blinked my eyes, wondering if I had seen it wrong, and then leaned my face closer to the laptop to check again.
“Why… did this change…?”
Sung Se-han’s cover song wasn’t Heaven. Everything was the same for the other teams without the song changing, but for some reason, only Perfect Puzzle’s song had changed.
“Uh… what? Belle Vibe Debo?”
BBD’s ‘Do Me!’. The moment I checked the song title, I jumped up from my chair.
“What! He sang that?”
I grabbed my head with both hands and took a step back. I felt like I wanted to get away from the laptop.
“No, he sang that……?”
It’s not that I don’t believe it, but I don’t want to believe it. I had been listening to and singing along to the music that Sung Se-han listened to since I was in middle school, but at that time, I didn’t really know the meaning of the lyrics and I didn’t think deeply about it.
“Maybe….”
But after recognizing that the song was full of sexual lyrics, I never listened to it again.
No. Maybe my memory is distorted and I’m thinking too much about it.
“Is it okay…?”
I hesitated and approached again, then sat back down in my chair.
“It’s okay, so the company must have allowed it, right…? And the production team must have reviewed it too….”
When I checked the thumbnail with a calmer mind, it was the same recording studio as last time in the background. Sung Se-han, who looks like a scene from a pictorial wearing a black short-sleeved T-shirt and black-washed jeans, is visible.
“No, this….”
The composition of the black and white thumbnail was similar, but the atmosphere was completely different from before. When I saw Sung Se-han making eye contact with a languid and intense gaze, I was somehow afraid to play the video.
And from the moment I clicked on the video, it was proven that my anxiety was not at all excessive.
The moment a large hand swept back his hair, the video began with the moaning sound of the sampling filling the audio.
“Crazy…!”
I covered my face with both hands and fidgeted, and eventually took my butt off the chair and stood up. Even while doing so, I couldn’t take my eyes off the video.
Sung Se-han was originally told by fans that his eyes were too lewd.
He’s not doing any big actions, he’s just singing sensually and making a few gestures, but he’s making the people who are watching feel embarrassed. My face was getting hot and I was having trouble breathing.
“Really crazy…!”
Sung Se-han is telling me to touch his whole body with a seductive gaze, so there’s no way my heart can be safe. I couldn’t even dare to go near the laptop and was anxiously tearing at my hair.
“Hey! You crazy bastard!”
I couldn’t help but scream because of the guy who was doing the original song’s rap as it was, which I had been half-expecting.
“That, crazy bastard…!”
The moment Sung Se-han, who was staring at the camera, at me, subtly moved his waist, I couldn’t hold on any longer and collapsed. Sung Se-han’s sensual vocals continued to play.
In the morning, at night, you can do it whenever you want.
“Is this, really okay? Even underage fans will listen to it…? Is it really okay?”
My whole body was hot and flushed, and I couldn’t come to my senses. The fact that I was spacing out and breathing heavily after watching the cover song was embarrassing even to myself.
“What on earth are you thinking? Why did you choose such a song….”
I was waiting for Sung Se-han, who sang sweetly like an angel, but a guy who smiles darkly like a devil appeared.
I was so captivated by that devil that I couldn’t come to my senses, and I was squatting for a long time.
“Tae-kyung Hyung!”
The door burst open and Jeong-min ran in. Because my legs were weak, I leaned on the desk to lift myself up.
“Jeong-min, why….”
“Tae-kyung Hyung! Sung Se-han came to find you!”
My head froze for a moment, so I couldn’t react immediately.
“What…?”
“Perfect Puzzle’s Sung Se-han came to find you, and right now the dancer Hyungs and staff Noonas are all taking pictures together and it’s a mess! But he came to see Tae-kyung Hyung! He’s coming now!”
Wow, what on earth is this. I spaced out again because of Sung Se-han, who was rushing at me without giving me a moment to breathe.
“You were here.”
Even as a tall man in a black suit strode into the conference room, I could only stand there blankly with my mouth open.
“Then… I’ll leave you to talk.”
Jeong-min, who bowed to Sung Se-han, hurriedly left the conference room. Before the door closed, my eyes met with Jeong-min, who seemed somehow dejected.
“Ah, I understand.”
Sung Se-han, who had strode to the opposite side of the long desk, picked up my laptop with one hand. I watched every detail, even the smile that spread across his brown eyes as he checked the screen.
“You wanted to enjoy the cover song alone.”
There was laughter in the low voice that came from right in front of me.
Perhaps because of the hairstyle with his left forehead exposed, his masculine and delicate facial features seemed more prominent today. No, in fact, everything, from his brown eyes that shone with light to his high nose and cool mouth, was eye-catching.
“What are your thoughts on my cover song?”
Sung Se-han, who had put down the laptop, sat on the desk. My eyes were drawn to the scene where the black fabric was wrapped around his thigh muscles and stretched taut, and I forced myself to lift my head. And I slowly crossed my arms as if to defend myself from the man in front of me.
“Visiting without prior notice.”
I wanted to make my voice sound businesslike and distant, but it didn’t work.
“You really have no manners.”
I had been constantly resolving and resolving for the past few days. That I would only watch Sung Se-han from afar. That I would never have other thoughts.
That I wouldn’t have thoughts like wanting to see those beautiful brown eyes up close.
So this isn’t my fault. In this kind of natural disaster situation, I can rather say that I’m the victim. If there’s fate, it should definitely take this into account.
If it doesn’t, I’ll never let it go.
“I’m now.”
Sung Se-han, who was sitting on the desk, turned his body towards me.
“I’m asking what you thought of my cover song.”
He rested one hand on his thigh and stared at me with his face tilted at an angle.
Ah. My mouth was so dry that I desperately wanted a sip of water. Sung Se-han’s face and body moving in front of me, the Cologne scent, and even every small movement all felt like they were striking my heart, so I don’t know how long I’ll be able to act expressionless.
“Why are you asking me that?”
“Because your reaction is important.”
His broad shoulders, hidden by the suit, leaned a little more towards me.
I felt pain in my forearm and realized that my hands, which were crossed, were clenched tightly.
Sung Se-han… says my reaction is important, and he came all the way here because he wanted to hear my thoughts.
How can I ignore that?
Maybe a little, that much would be okay to say…?
