└ Ah… do you know that? They say you lose your memory when you see someone handsome… Ah… do you know that? They say you lose your memory when you see someone handsome… Do you know that? When you see someone handsome…
15 Didn’t you say the Manager quit? Is the changed Manager appearing?
└ Where did you hear that he quit?? I can’t find it even if I search
└ 22 Where did you hear that??
└ ???;;; The Manager didn’t change, what are you talking about?
└ The post isn’t showing up;; There was a sighting of the previous Manager coming for a part-time job interview
└ ??????
└ That’s a rumor. There was no verification, it was just the writer’s speculation. It’s been blinded now.
└ Don’t post information that isn’t confirmed…
└ Common_Rumor_Creation_Process.txt
16 (Deleted comment.)
└ I’m telling you there’s no talk of the Manager changing;;;
└ 15 If you checked the thread and confirmed it, delete it. It’s a rumor.
└ Ah, I just saw it ㅠ Sorry
17 ㅠㅠㅠㅠHulk fixedㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠIs Actor Ji doing okay??ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ He must be okay if he’s appearing on My MaeSo????
└ ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠNam-bong, please post an announcement about Actor Ji’s conditionㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ Still, the news of his comeback is good news ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
└ Ha, Actor Ji, walk only the path of health
└ Jizel, be healthy forever…22
└ 333
18 Appearing on My MaeSo is good… but I’m a little disappointed that he didn’t say hello first…
└ I know… how many fans are worried right now
└ If you go into the original article, there’s a sentence that says, ‘Meanwhile, Ji Hyeon is focusing on recovering from the accident and is currently recovering a lot.’ It seems like they released the article as an announcement of his comeback and fixed appearance?
└ Can you give me the article link?
└ https:https://www.hotstar.co.k/view/1427210
└ Thanks
└ Oh, I’m Won-ik, I forgot the article source, I’ll add it to the text!
19 Fixed on My MaeSo!!!! Ahhhh!! Kyaaaa!! Aaaaaaack!! Aaaaaaack!! Kyaa!! Aaaaaaack!! Aaaaaaaaaaack!! Aaaack!! Aack!! Kyaaaaaaack!! Aaaaaaaaaaack!!
└ Who let the crows loose
└ Patient, stay fixed
└ Fi…xed? Aaaaaaack!! Aaaaaaack!! Aaaaaaack!! Aaaaaaack!! Aack!! Kyaaaaaaack!! Aaaaaaaaaaack!! Aaaack!! Aack!!
└ S.B. Calm down!!
20 I’m so happy ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Can we see Actor Ji filming dramas now??? I want to see him talking with his colleagues off the record, wiping off his makeup after it’s all over, talking to the Manager while looking at the script, resting at home, getting his hair done, taking a walk, exercising, going to the drama after-party, taking a walk, breathing, etc. I don’t want much, just until he’s sixty……..
└ Isn’t this Ji Hyeon’s biography instead of My MaeSo?
└ Introducing My Ji Hyeon
└ Is My MaeSo even going to last that long? Haha ㅠㅠㅠ
21 ㅜㅜㅜHulk, if it’s fixed, are they going to do studio filming too?? I want to see him talking with other guests too…
└ Wouldn’t they???
└ They probably will. ㅇㅇ
└ They didn’t last time..I was disappointed
└ Hahaha I was okay with it not being there.. Actor Ji’s small talk is a bit awkward haha
└ I’m satisfied with just seeing his daily lifeㅠ
22 (Eun-ho smirking while looking at Ji Hyeon.)jpg)
(Ji Hyeon wearing Eun-ho’s hat.jpg)
Let’s go with the JiKwak chemistry…
└ Let’s go22
└ Let’s go333
└ JiKwak??
└ Ji Hyeon x Kwak Eun-ho
└ Ah;; Who’s already making up couple names
└ I told you not to do RPF with non-celebritiesㅜㅜ
└ ???Even if it’s not RPF, a lot of people combine their names and call them that???
└ JiKwak is perfect
└ Let’s go JiKwak4444
23 Since only his daily life was shown last time, I want to see him working a lot this time. Like the comment above said, it would be nice if they showed him looking at the script or acting. Personally, I think Actor Ji’s potential explodes when he’s in front of the camera. The chemistry with the Manager will be good too. If you disagree, you’re right.
└ I agree with this comment
└ 333 I agree with everything too
24 I’m going to smash my head, so someone wake me up in August……….
└ S.B. Me too… how do I wait….
└ Let’s help each other smash our heads
└ Then who’s going to wake us up?
25 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋLast time, a lot of people hated Actor Ji appearing on variety shows, but everyone likes it this time, it’s so funny ㅠㅠ Everyone says they hate it, but their bodies honestly watched My MaeSo…
└ My parents watched it, so I couldn’t help it
└ Don’t make excuses
└ That’s right S.B. I just watched it.
Now I’m just living for August, get lost you insensitive July.
Who likes Actor Ji appearing on My MaeSo?
Hello, I’m Nu.
└ Hello, I’m Nu2
└ Hello, I’m Nu3
└ I’m Nu4
28 Ha, I don’t want my boyfriend to become more famous… (Eun-ho with his arms crossed and frowning.jpg)

└ ㅋㅋ???????????????????????????
└ Oh s.b. I’m sorry~
└ It’s okay if you know
└ Why do you do things you’re going to be sorry for?
└ You guys are so united only at times like this, right?
29 Is the photo in the original post from the My MaeSo interview??
└ The outfit at that time was legendary
└ The cardigan is so prettyㅠㅠㅠ I’m going to copy it
└ (Screenshot of D Company online shopping mall.jpg)
└ Four thousand… five hundred…..? The unit isn’t won, is it…?
└ Of course not, it’s dollars haha
└ Ah~ That’s a relief~
└ …No it’s not s.b. I’m going bankrupt…
30 Oppa, I’m ready for a public relationship…
(Eun-ho smiling and the caption ‘I have someone I like’.jpg)
└ Ah… I don’t know what the original comment is saying, but the photo is crazy.
└ Seriously, I don’t know what the original comment is saying, but it’s guilty, anyway.
└ I don’t know what the original comment is saying, but don’t seduce me if you’re not going to marry me.
└ I don’t know what the original comment is saying, but my heart is beating so fast.
└ I don’t know what the original comment is saying, but the Manager seduced me instead of the person he likes.
└ What am I going to do with you after seducing you?
└ You’re the original commenter, aren’t you?

402 S.B. I lived only for today… everyone gather around… [♨Long-awaited first broadcast of fixed My MaeSo♨ | https:https://www.todayspring.com/jihyeon/2394393111]
The apartment, with its tight security from the entrance, was a place Eun-ho had visited every day for the past few years. Inside the complex was a well-landscaped flower garden, and you couldn’t enter the building without a designated card. In that place, where there were many complexes but somehow a desolate atmosphere, lived the great actor whom Eun-ho had to assist for the time being.
Eun-ho bowed to the guard at the entrance and moved his steps to the complex, which he could now find with his eyes closed. The time was still early, but considering the schedule he usually handled, it was a bit late. Well, there was no filming schedule anyway, so it didn’t matter either way.
“I wonder if he’s sleeping…”
Should I contact him in advance? He thought about it, then just shook his head. He had announced his comeback, so he probably had a rough idea of when I would pick him up. Even if Eun-ho didn’t know he was coming, Ji Hyeon would know that he had a hospital appointment this morning.
‘Eun-ho.’
‘Can I contact you?’
Since that day, Ji Hyeon hadn’t contacted him at all. It was something he had fully expected, because he didn’t think the guy would send a message or call without a reason. Even more so when he was in such an awkward state as now, let alone after he returned as a Manager.
‘You have to decide for yourself.’
Yeah, even if he hadn’t said that, he probably would have stayed quiet.
“…….”
Eun-ho had received the necessary card for the building entrance from CEO Byun in advance. It was Ji Hyeon’s house, where he lived alone, but CEO Byun generally took care of the management. Of course, CEO Byun wouldn’t have easily handed over the card unless the other person was Eun-ho.
Eun-ho got on the elevator, pressed the top floor, and adjusted the backpack he was carrying on one shoulder. He was dressed in all black, and even his bag was black. He wasn’t wearing a hat today, but his hair was black, so it was the same thing.
With a ding, the elevator stopped and Eun-ho came out and approached the door. It had been quite a while since he had been here, but not so long that he had forgotten the password. He entered the familiar numbers and opened the door lock, and the even more familiar scenery of the house came into view.
‘Nothing’s going to change, is it.’
Eun-ho first took out the indoor slippers prepared for him and put them on. The soft slippers with a bear on them were something Ji Hyeon had ordered online, saying they were his exclusive shoes. After handing them over, he had a look of great anticipation, but when Eun-ho accepted them without a word, he looked a little deflated.
I thought he liked cute things, but he himself wore plain gray slippers. One for the homeowner, one for guests (CEO Byun sometimes wore them), and one for Kwak Eun-ho. Of those three, only Eun-ho’s were cute light pink.
‘His personality is really…….’
He didn’t notice it at the time, but looking back, he thought he knew. Maybe Ji Hyeon wanted to see Eun-ho grimace at the sight of the bear slippers. He was a playful guy in strange ways, so it was a plausible guess.
“…….”
Ji Hyeon wasn’t in the living room, which he entered slowly. He checked the sofa just in case, but there wasn’t a single strand of hair on the fabric sofa. The table was clean, and there was no sign of anyone in the kitchen.
‘Is he in the bedroom.’
He said he wouldn’t leave empty medicine bottles lying around. I wonder if he’s going to keep that promise. Eun-ho glanced at the table once more and moved towards the stairs. On the first floor were the living room, fitness room, study, and storage room, and on the second floor were the bedroom and dressing room, as well as empty rooms.
Come to think of it, it had been quite a while since he had gone up to the second floor. Ji Hyeon was always lying on the sofa, and he would greet Eun-ho, who came early in the morning, with a prickly greeting, saying, ‘Why are you so late?’ Naturally, he had stopped going to the bedroom.
Eun-ho headed straight for the bedroom as soon as he reached the second floor. It wasn’t like he had forgotten the layout of the house just because he hadn’t come up often. In the early days of working as a Manager, he would always come up to the second floor like this to wake up Ji Hyeon.
There was no need to knock on the tightly closed door. Eun-ho carefully opened the door and looked inside through the half-open door. He had come to wake him up, but he couldn’t help but lower his voice, thinking that he might still be sleeping.
“…….”
A dimly lit bedroom, and in the middle of it, a bed all alone.
‘He must be sleeping.’
The figure lying with his back to the door was clearly Ji Hyeon. The way he covered himself with the blanket up to his neck, the way his long legs peeked out, the way his shoulders were broad, and the way his back was wide.
He usually wakes up when the door opens, but today he seemed to be sleeping deeply for some reason. He could tell from the fact that he was still motionless, instead of wriggling and turning to look at Eun-ho.
Eun-ho left the door half-open and slowly entered. Because the blackout curtains were carefully drawn, no sunlight came in despite it being morning. Should I pull those curtains open first? He changed his mind and approached the bed.
And, it was the moment he called Ji Hyeon in his unique, blunt voice.
“Ji Hyeon-ah.”
Suddenly, Ji Hyeon, who he thought was sleeping, got up. His reaction was so extreme that even Eun-ho, who was standing next to him, was startled. Ji Hyeon turned his head and looked at Eun-ho, his eyes wide and his lips moving.
“……Kwak Eun-ho?”
“…….”
It was as if he had seen a ghost. Just like when he had run into Eun-ho in the office. Even in the dark, he could clearly see his eyes shaking.
“Why are you…….”
“Weren’t you sleeping?”
At Eun-ho’s question, Ji Hyeon pressed his lips together. He hadn’t moved at all even when the door opened, so he thought he was getting a good night’s sleep for the first time in a while. But in the gaze that looked at him from under his disheveled hair, there was no sign of sleepiness at all.
“I wasn’t sleeping.”
He wasn’t not sleeping, he couldn’t sleep. Eun-ho swallowed those words and picked up the remote control on the bedside table. He operated the button to pull back the curtains and adjusted the bedroom lights to be brighter. While the window was sliding open, Ji Hyeon frowned as he checked the cell phone he was holding.
“……What about President?”
“What about him, he must be in the office.”
He has insomnia and he was on his cell phone. Eun-ho thought to himself and put down the remote control. It seemed that he hadn’t heard the news of his comeback at all. Instead of saying that he was working as a Manager again, Eun-ho recited the schedule in a very Manager-like manner.
“You know today’s the day you go to the hospital, right? It’s hard to postpone university hospital appointments, so even if you’re tired, just get up today.”
“…….”
Whether it was fortunate or not, Ji Hyeon got up without asking anything. He slowly got out of bed and frowned with his hand on his forehead. His face was somehow dazed, but he couldn’t tell if it was because he couldn’t sleep or for some other reason.
“Wash up and come downstairs.”
Leaving only those words, Eun-ho left the bedroom. There was no need to help him wash up, so there was no reason to stay there any longer. If he washed his face and put on his going-out clothes, he would come down to the first floor.
Eun-ho went down to the kitchen as a habit and opened the refrigerator. He didn’t usually have a lot of food, but now there was really nothing there. There were a few bottles of water, a few eggs, and an apple out of the blue.
I thought he had lost some weight. It was clear that he wasn’t managing his weight at all because there was no one to take care of him. Unless it was a work with exposure, he would only wear suits all day long, so he wouldn’t care even if he was a little thin.
Mechanically, he took out the eggs and apple and looked for a frying pan in the cupboard. It would be nice to hire someone just for meals, but he couldn’t because he didn’t like other people intruding. At least when CEO Byun took him around, he would feed him sandwiches in the car from time to time.
‘But he probably didn’t eat them well…….’
He’s such a picky guy, Eun-ho thought and sighed. He felt sorry for CEO Byun, who had adjusted to his picky nature, but he couldn’t help but laugh at the fact that all of that had become his role again. Not because it was difficult, but because he didn’t think it was a difficult task.
In fact, there was still time until the filming of ‘My MaeSo’, but Eun-ho returned to his Manager duties a little early. He thought that even though quitting was instantaneous, it would take time to return. He was worried that he might make a mistake while filming the observational variety show.
When he started filming in earnest, he was going to spread the word that he was looking into something he wanted to do. Then, later, he would reveal that he was quitting as a Manager due to personal reasons and would be leaving ‘My MaeSo’. He had already finished talking to CEO Byun so that there would be no backstory.
Well, the guy who’s coming into the kitchen right now doesn’t know anything about it.
“Sit down, you didn’t eat breakfast, did you?”
“…….”
Ji Hyeon came into the kitchen with a towel around his neck and his bangs a little wet. He stared blankly at Eun-ho, who was standing across the island table, then went to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of water and drank it all in one gulp.
And then, Ji Hyeon, who had crushed the empty bottle, turned to Eun-ho and said.
“Honey.”
It was a casual call. Eun-ho didn’t even turn to look at him and replied.
“Why am I your honey.”
In the past, he would have answered ‘why’ without a word. It was a title he was already familiar with, and he didn’t think he would point out that fact again. Nevertheless, he retorted in a dry tone because he thought he should be wary of even these small things.
Didn’t the fans say that when ‘My MaeSo’ aired? What kind of friends call each other honey? He was also the same in that he didn’t have a sense of distance, so he thought he should put some safety measures in place now.
“…….”
Ji Hyeon didn’t say anything for a while and just looked at Eun-ho. It was a persistent gaze that felt like it would pierce through the back of his head, but Eun-ho tried to ignore all of it. Not long after, Ji Hyeon, who had let out a sigh, muttered to himself.
“……I thought.”
It was a reaction that was hard to understand. So was the way he turned his gaze away without regret. He put the towel he had around his neck on the chair next to him and sat down on the chair opposite Eun-ho.
And then, no words were exchanged again. Ji Hyeon just stared blankly at Eun-ho, resting his chin on the dining table. As if there was something fascinating about sprinkling salt on eggs. His gaze was so persistent that even while sitting still, Eun-ho could feel the weight of it.
“What are you making?”
When Ji Hyeon asked, Eun-ho let out a small sigh without realizing it. It seemed he had forgotten to breathe at some point. Clearing his throat unnecessarily, Eun-ho put on a calm voice.
“Scrambled eggs.”
“Are there eggs left at home?”
“A few.”
It was a familiar conversation, and one with little nutritional value. It wasn’t awkward, but it wasn’t natural either; even though it wasn’t uncomfortable, he kept becoming conscious of it. Even the way he called his name, turning to look at him.
“Ji Hyeon-ah.”
“…….”
Ji Hyeon’s gaze turned toward Eun-ho. Or rather, perhaps it had never left him in the first place. Eun-ho took a plate from the cupboard and asked Ji Hyeon.
“How much do you weigh right now?”
The weight listed on his portal site profile was measured when he was actively modeling. When he was that thin, his condition was usually poor, so he maintained a slightly heavier weight during shoots. At least 5kg, up to 8kg more. Only when the first digit changed did his stamina genuinely improve.
“Well… I haven’t weighed myself lately, so I’m not sure.”
“Didn’t they weigh you at the hospital?”
“No reason to.”
Hearing that vague answer, Eun-ho roughly sized Ji Hyeon up with his eyes. The time they had spent together wasn’t in vain, so just looking at the visible parts gave him a rough idea. Especially how his facial contours stood out sharply, making his expression seem more sensitive.
“You need to gain a little weight.”
Having quickly reached that conclusion, Eun-ho scooped the well-cooked eggs onto the plate. He then began peeling an apple he had set aside, washing it clean and using a knife. He planned to just get through today and stock the refrigerator starting tomorrow. To film, he’d need some stamina, and being in the hospital must have caused a lot of muscle loss.
“Eat that and finish the apple too. I’ll go grocery shopping tomorrow or something.”
“…….”
Ji Hyeon silently picked up the fork on the table. Eun-ho thought he would start eating, but instead, he just poked and shuffled the food around on his plate. Just as Eun-ho was about to tell him to stop playing around and eat, Ji Hyeon slowly began to speak.
“……I’m confused, so I’m asking.”
His light-colored pupils turned toward Eun-ho. They were never particularly bright to begin with, but lately, they truly felt submerged underwater. Or rather, so submerged they were eerily still. If their eyes happened to meet, it was enough to make words stick in his throat.
Like now.
“Is this manager work?”
“…….”
In an instant, Eun-ho thought, ‘Oh no.’ It felt strange to say yes, and strange to say no. His mind went completely blank, or perhaps his conscience pricked him as if struck right at the core.
Being a manager didn’t mean only handling work-related tasks. Checking the celebrity’s condition and creating a suitable filming environment were also part of a manager’s role. It might not be common for managers to cook meals like Eun-ho did, but it wasn’t unheard of either.
But strictly speaking, Eun-ho hadn’t calculated and acted on all of that. It was more like out of habit, just taking care of things the way he always had. From the moment he entered this house, his body moved on its own—what excuse could he possibly give?
But as if interpreting that silence in his own way, Ji Hyeon furrowed his brow and spoke.
“I’m not criticizing……”
“I don’t know either.”
“…….”
“How would I know if other managers do this or not.”
Thud—the apple split in half on the cutting board. After cutting it into quarters, he removed the seeds and sliced it into small, bite-sized pieces.
“I just do it out of habit.”
Everything related to Ji Hyeon was like that. Taking care of him, staying by his side—to Eun-ho, it was just part of his daily routine. Even his feelings of affection had settled into a habit, so unless he made a conscious effort to reflect, he wouldn’t even be aware of them.
“Don’t ask me every little thing. I’m a manager for the first time too, so I don’t really know how it’s done. Honestly, I don’t even know how I should treat you right now.”
Everything was a first for Eun-ho too. Liking someone was a first, becoming that person’s sole existence was a first, having such a big fight was a first, and staying by his side again without any resolved emotions was also a first.
“……That’s something you should know instead.”
What on earth should he do? If he could, he wanted to grab Ji Hyeon and ask. What to say, how to treat him, how much to accept and how much to care for. And even why he expected those things from him.
“Stop talking nonsense and just eat. What are you going to do if your awkward behavior shows on broadcast?”
Feeling unnecessarily embarrassed by the scolding, Ji Hyeon quietly began to eat with his fork. He lifted a fluffy, bright yellow piece of egg and put it into his mouth with a clean, effortless motion. His table manners were always impeccably elegant, so while chewing, he became perfectly well-behaved again.
‘Guess he’s not fully recovered yet.’
Watching him, Eun-ho suddenly realized one thing. Although the cast was off, he still seemed to have discomfort using his right hand. The way he awkwardly held the fork, occasionally setting it down to clench and unclench his hand. Even if it didn’t hurt, there must at least be a tingling sensation remaining.
‘And he wants to make a comeback with that hand…….’
He should rest for at least three months. But Ji Hyeon had decided to return to the filming set immediately next week. His reason was that without the lead actor, progress would stall—since when had he become so professional? No…… Well, he did have a serious side when it came to work.
“Go to the hospital today, check the results, and if your condition isn’t good, rest a bit more.”
“…….”
“If you return with that arm and something goes wrong, only the company will get blamed by the fans.”
“…….”
“CEO Byun is very worried too……”
Eun-ho, who had been talking for a while, noticed Ji Hyeon’s fork movements gradually slowing and closed his mouth. At a glance, he seemed fine, but his expression had subtly stiffened. It wasn’t that he was in a bad mood; it seemed the current situation was just terribly uncomfortable for him.
“……I won’t nag anymore, so just eat.”
This was the guy who never flinched at this level of nagging. Normally, he would have brazenly listened with one ear and let it out the other. He might have even casually said something that would make CEO Byun gasp if he heard—like what does it matter if the company gets blamed?
“…….”
But today, wasn’t he being excessively…… too, severely self-conscious? Earlier, he had no problem casually calling him ‘Darling,’ but now he was acting as if a knife were held to his throat.
Unable to do anything else, Eun-ho swallowed a small sigh and stood up. Since watching him seemed to make him more uncomfortable, he decided to just leave the spot altogether. Ji Hyeon turned to look at Eun-ho a beat too late, but he didn’t stop Eun-ho from going out to the living room.
After the meal, they headed to the hospital in the car Eun-ho was driving. Eun-ho, who had returned the car key earlier, had received it back along with the apartment key from CEO Byun. Although it was clearly his own car, Ji Hyeon didn’t ask at all where Eun-ho had gotten the key.
Throughout the drive to the hospital, Eun-ho kept glancing anxiously at the rearview mirror. Ji Hyeon had come out of the kitchen about ten minutes later, and even though there wasn’t much to eat, he finished much faster than usual. Just in case, Eun-ho checked and saw that the apple he had left for him to share was also completely gone.
“…….”
Is he indigested? Though he thought that, he couldn’t ask. Because the moment Ji Hyeon got in the car, he leaned his head against the window and closed his eyes. His complexion seemed alright, but since he was so adept at hiding things, nothing could be taken for granted.
Fortunately—or so it seemed—no particular unusual reactions came from Ji Hyeon until they arrived at the hospital. It was the same when Eun-ho checked the appointment, and even when they waited briefly and took the X-ray.
“The bone has fully healed, and if you just rest well……”
Although Ji Hyeon, the person in question, seemed to be listening half-heartedly, Eun-ho paid close attention to the doctor’s words. His condition wasn’t bad, and his recovery ability was good. They said daily life would be fine as long as he didn’t overdo it, but the standard for ‘overdoing it’ was clearly different for Ji Hyeon.
The next appointment was in a week. Same time, 11 a.m. As soon as the payment was completed with the corporate card, Eun-ho hurriedly moved. Because Ji Hyeon, who was quietly following behind, looked strangely anxious.
‘I need to get him home quickly or something.’
He was like a time bomb about to explode. At times like this, Ji Hyeon’s condition often plummeted rapidly. Then, a panic attack was only a matter of time—a situation Eun-ho never wanted.
After that, Ji Hyeon didn’t say a single word on the way home. Glancing in the rearview mirror, Eun-ho saw him with his head against the window, eyes closed. He considered telling him to use a neck pillow, but feeling awkward, he decided not to bring it up.
And it was when they arrived in front of the house and finished parking.
“……You weren’t asleep?”
Eun-ho asked, startled as he turned out of habit. Because Ji Hyeon was gazing steadily at him. He definitely had his eyes closed until they were reversing, but it seemed he opened them during the short moment of unbuckling his seatbelt.
“…….”
Ji Hyeon didn’t answer; instead, he gave a small nod. To that Ji Hyeon, Eun-ho didn’t ask anything and just said this.
“We’re here, so go on up.”
Surprisingly, Ji Hyeon froze for a moment upon hearing that. Then, he frowned and moved his lips. For some reason, after hesitating for a long time, he finally asked in a faint voice.
“……Aren’t you coming up?”
His tone was pitiful enough to make one’s heart soften, if only briefly. He shouldn’t keep looking so pitiful. Thinking that, Eun-ho put on an expressionless face. And the words that came out sounded quite cold even to his own ears.
“You don’t have any more schedules today.”
“…….”
He figured there was no need to be together all day like before. Since there were no schedules anyway, he thought Ji Hyeon could just rest at home.
“I’ll come pick you up tomorrow.”
That’s what he said, but Ji Hyeon’s reaction was far from normal. Instead of answering, he just blinked blankly. His beautifully drawn face gradually distorted, and the blood drained from his pale face in an instant.
And at the same time, nausea burst from his closed mouth.
“……Ugh.”
It was a small sound, but enough to fluster Eun-ho. Ji Hyeon covered his mouth with the back of his hand and hunched his upper body sharply. As if even he found this situation irritating, a small, gritted curse dug into Eun-ho’s ears. Eun-ho frantically searched his bag for a plastic bag, thinking:
“…….”
Ah, fuck. I knew he was indigested.
He had felt uneasy since earlier. If his stomach was upset, he should have stopped eating. The problem was that while being conscious of Eun-ho’s gaze, he stubbornly finished even the apple. For such a sensitive guy, it would have been strange if he had gotten through it without any issues.
“First, here……”
As Eun-ho, having found the plastic bag, handed it to the back seat, Ji Hyeon snatched it away. Eun-ho thought he would immediately vomit, but instead, what he did was frown and glare at Eun-ho.
“…….”
“…….”
For a while, their eyes exchanged glances. Despite his pale face drenched in cold sweat, Ji Hyeon firmly pressed his lips together and gave a fierce look.
There was no way Eun-ho wouldn’t know what that gaze meant. Unable to do anything else, Eun-ho swallowed a small sigh and opened the driver’s door. As soon as he got out and closed the door, the inside and outside were completely separated.
‘It’s not like I’ve known him for just a day or two…….’
He had no intention of blaming him for having a stomach ache. Eun-ho was the type to always carry a plastic bag, hand cream, lip balm, and all sorts of basic medicines. Vomiting was nothing to him, but it seemed Ji Hyeon felt completely differently.
Whether he thought it was dirty, or didn’t want to show a weak side—seeing how he had no problem asking for hand cream, the former was more likely. Given his particularly fastidious personality, it wasn’t unreasonable for him to find his own sensitive reaction irritating.
“Haa.”
Eun-ho ran a hand through his hair and glanced at the window. Beyond the heavily tinted window, no silhouette was visible. As expected of a celebrity’s car. The fact that he couldn’t see inside was truly frustrating.
Ji Hyeon got out of the car about ten minutes later. Eun-ho, who had been waiting nearby until then, went up to the house with Ji Hyeon without a word. Ji Hyeon remained silent until they reached the top floor, and even after returning home, he left Eun-ho behind and disappeared into the bathroom.
And when he came out, he was wearing a pure white robe, as always. Water dripped from his hair, and the front wasn’t properly fastened. Ji Hyeon, who had come out while sweeping back his wet hair, stopped in his tracks the moment he spotted Eun-ho sitting on the sofa.
“…….”
“…….”
Drip—a droplet rolled down his prominent collarbone. It pooled briefly in the hollow before trickling down around his chest as Ji Hyeon moved his head. He seemed a bit thinner than before, but because of that, the muscles in his upper body were starkly visible.
“You didn’t leave?”
Eun-ho couldn’t answer the softly spoken question. The clumsily tied waistband precariously covered only the essential parts. If he took a few more steps like that, there might be no place to rest one’s eyes.
“……Do I look like I’m leaving?”
Eun-ho answered in a calm tone, pretending nothing was wrong. He should have worn a hat. Thinking that, he averted his gaze from Ji Hyeon. The words he spoke carried a slightly complex sigh.
“I need to see if you’re okay before I go.”
How could he just leave when the guy was sick enough to vomit? Whether the cause was physical or mental, he needed to see his condition improve to feel at ease. No, even if he were to leave, he should at least say he’s going.
“How’s your stomach?”
“It’s shitty……”
Ji Hyeon, about to answer reflexively, hastily swallowed the rest of his words. After staying still for a moment, he finally straightened the collar of his robe and gave a revised answer.
“It’s just like that.”
It was different from when he had pretended to be a well-behaved child to protest against Eun-ho. Unlike then, this ‘pretending to be okay’ was clearly visible after some deliberation.
‘Such an easy-to-read bastard.’
Why was someone so good at acting so transparent? He didn’t know if it was only to his eyes or to others’ as well. If it was the former, it was a great relief, but it also made him bitter that he knew him so well.
“Go upstairs and get some sleep or something.”
“…….”
Ji Hyeon didn’t answer and just slightly bowed his head. As if pondering something, he slowly rolled his eyes, but the place he moved to wasn’t the stairs but the sofa where Eun-ho was sitting.
Since Eun-ho was sitting diagonally across, Ji Hyeon sat on the long sofa with a backrest, as he always did. It was the spot where he would lie down and stay up all night with his eyes open when he couldn’t sleep. Clearly, he must have been exhausted, because instead of sitting upright, he lay down lengthwise, using the armrest as a pillow.
“If you’re going to lie down, lie on the bed.”
“Too lazy to go up.”
Then at least put some clothes on. He was lying there defenseless, wearing only a robe. With his head toward where Eun-ho was, he placed a hand on his forehead and stared blankly at the ceiling. His eyelids, fluttering faintly, looked so fragile.
“You don’t need to take any medicine?”
“Yeah.”
Ji Hyeon answered shortly and closed his eyes. Moving his lips as if choosing his words, he muttered in a voice so soft it was barely audible.
“I’m sick of anything called medicine.”
It was a perfectly understandable statement. Even the medicines he usually took weren’t just one or two, and getting injured must have increased the types. True to his words about being sick of medicine, he detested even things like nutritional supplements.
“……If your stomach was upset, you should have stopped eating.”
Somehow feeling like his insides were crumbling, Eun-ho spoke in a slightly reproachful tone. The entire situation felt unbearably painful, beyond words. His chest area stung as if pricked, making him swallow dryly.
“You told me to finish the apple too.”
Ji Hyeon answered in his uniquely gentle voice. He sounded a little wronged for some reason. But he had said it without knowing it would hurt. He thought he should increase his weight, so he was trying to feed him something.
“Did you think I’d feed you until you threw up? It’s not like I’m torturing you with food.”
No answer came back to the words he said with a sigh. Ji Hyeon probably realized that he had overdone it. Normally, he would have told Eun-ho the moment he felt something was wrong and stopped eating.
“…….”
“…….”
Since when did silence become awkward? He couldn’t tell what the guy with his eyes closed was thinking.
He was about to ask if he was going to keep acting awkward like this, but he decided to just drop it. He figured that rushing a sick guy wouldn’t lead to a good situation. Besides, this awkward atmosphere wasn’t entirely Ji Hyeon’s fault.
‘I can’t do this on the show.’
If he did, the community would be in an uproar right away. They’d say Ji Hyeon and the Manager seemed to be fighting, that their relationship was strange, and there would be all sorts of speculation. There’s smoke even when there’s no fire in this industry, so there’s no need to start one.
“……Why are you so conscious of me?”
So Eun-ho suppressed his frustrated feelings and cautiously opened his mouth. Not because he was worried about ‘My MaeSo’, but because he didn’t think they could stay like this forever. As for the show, well, whatever, he didn’t care if it was a mess. But Ji Hyeon’s insides being a mess was another matter.
“I said I’d work as your Manager until we’re done filming. It’s not like I told you not to talk to me, so why are you acting so uncomfortable when you can just treat me normally?”
The words that started calmly had a bit of emotion mixed in at the end. He wondered if he had shown his frustration too much, so he clicked his tongue softly, then opened his mouth again as he looked at Ji Hyeon, who was still silent.
“If you’re really uncomfortable, just quit…….”
“I’m not uncomfortable.”
“…….”
“I’m not uncomfortable.”
You look really uncomfortable right now.
He swallowed those words down his throat. It was because Ji Hyeon turned his head and looked at Eun-ho. His light-colored eyes, as if they could see through him, came straight to Eun-ho.
“Eun-ho.”
“…….”
He felt it sometimes, but Ji Hyeon calling him that had a very unfamiliar side to it. His voice softened so much that it felt strangely ticklish. Ji Hyeon wasn’t the type to call anyone affectionately, but it was even more so because it was a friendly title as if he was conscious of it.
“I’ve been thinking.”
The gentle introduction made him feel nervous for some reason. So much so that Eun-ho straightened his back and corrected his posture. Ji Hyeon, who blinked and opened his eyes weakly, slowly continued.
“You said that the things I ask of you and want from you aren’t done between normal friends.”
That was exactly what Eun-ho had said. He remembered it word for word, as if he had thought about it a lot. He must have thought a lot about it. The moment Eun-ho thought that, Ji Hyeon cautiously asked.
“Then why have you been putting up with it all this time?”
“…….”
He was speechless. Because he had nothing to say to his question. Eun-ho’s various emotions held him back from pretending to be okay.
“Because you feel sorry for me?”
“…….”
“Or maybe…… you’re just humoring a childish bastard.”
The following question didn’t have the usual sarcastic nuance. Rather, it was as if he wished it were so. The question, which sounded somehow desperate, seemed to be trying to find an excuse in a way.
“You’re still mad at me, aren’t you?”
“…….”
“But why are you being so nice to me? It’s confusing.”
He started the conversation calmly at first, but the last words sounded a little unfair. It was clear that he, like Eun-ho, had mixed emotions as he continued to speak.
“……We’re friends even if you’re not my Manager.”
Eun-ho picked out a reasonably good reason from the many words swirling in his mouth and spat it out. He felt that he shouldn’t argue for too long today. The current precarious atmosphere was as unstable as walking on ice.
“Of course I’m worried if my friend is sick.”
“…….”
He looked like he had a lot to say, but Ji Hyeon didn’t open his lips. He just looked at Eun-ho with sunken eyes. For some reason, that gaze even seemed unpleasant.
“……Call me if you’re sick, even in the middle of the night.”
Eun-ho said that and got up from his seat right away. There was nothing he could do by staying any longer, so he was really going home now.
“Are you leaving?”
But at the same time, Ji Hyeon got up. Without even fixing his open gown, he asked with a somewhat embarrassed face.
“……You’re not staying longer?”
It was the same as when he asked if he had left earlier. When did he think he had left, and now he’s reacting like that because he’s going home. Even the words he added as if protesting.
“You said you’d stay to see if I was okay.”
“I’m leaving because you look okay.”
He might not feel well, but he wasn’t in a state where he was about to die. In fact, he would have felt a lot better after throwing up. He probably wouldn’t have had any major problems eating dinner. And maybe his being there was making him more uncomfortable.
“…….”
Ji Hyeon slowly distorted his face and moved his lips. It wasn’t the feeling of turning pale like before, but as if he couldn’t find the words to say. And soon, a restless voice uttered a familiar request.
“Just sleep here…….”
“Ji Hyeon.”
At the same time, a low voice called Ji Hyeon. Ji Hyeon looked at Eun-ho with a face that seemed nervous for some reason. He had been feeling like his stomach was churning since earlier, so Eun-ho stared straight at him and said.
“I guess you forgot, but I’m gay.”
What is this guy trusting in? He kept thinking that. When he came out wearing only a gown, when he lay on the sofa in that outfit and talked, and even now when he shamelessly told him to sleep over.
“Do you think you can sleep in the same house with a guy?”
He said it with half a mind to get angry. He was sure that if he said that, he would get upset and tell him to leave. It was definitely a different matter to be okay with a friend being gay and to be able to be ‘that’ kind of target himself.
“I’ll come early tomorrow.”
With those words, Eun-ho turned his back without even looking at Ji Hyeon. He didn’t have the confidence to hear what kind of expression he was making or what he was going to say.
Fortunately, Ji Hyeon didn’t hold Eun-ho back and didn’t say anything until he left the living room.
Strictly speaking, Eun-ho didn’t like ‘men’. Ji Hyeon was a man, but he had never felt any kind of desire for any other man besides him. Even in the wet dreams he had in middle school, it was a female actress in a movie he had seen in passing.
If he was asked whether he would meet a woman or a man, he would probably say a woman. Even in the future he had vaguely dreamed of, he had only imagined building a family after a normal relationship. Well, even that wasn’t a concrete plan, but just a vague ‘I’ll probably do that someday’.
Anyway, that’s why it was contradictory to say that he couldn’t sleep in the same house with a man. No, even if the other person was a woman instead of a man, he wouldn’t have seen someone he didn’t care about in that way. Staying in the same house wouldn’t have been a problem for Eun-ho at all.
So this was a slip of the tongue that he would never have made under normal circumstances. It was a moment of impulse, a tantrum disguised as avoidance. If Ji Hyeon showed an awkward appearance because of it, he would have no choice but to be careful as well.
When he went to Ji Hyeon’s house the next day, he was sitting on the living room sofa instead of the bedroom. He wasn’t wearing a gown like yesterday, but the dark circles under his eyes looked like he hadn’t slept a wink.
Ji Hyeon, who had been silently staring at Eun-ho as he came in, belatedly greeted him after Eun-ho took off his hat and put it on the table.
“You’re here early.”
In fact, it wasn’t early compared to before. When he arrived around this time, Ji Hyeon would always make a fuss, saying he was late with a dissatisfied face. Every time, there was always an empty medicine bottle lying on the table.
“I said I’d come early.”
Eun-ho, who answered roughly, adjusted the plastic bag he was holding. He had stopped by a nearby supermarket on the way and bought some simple side dishes. Basic ingredients such as eggs, onions, carrots, and ham.
“Did you get some sleep?”
Ji Hyeon didn’t answer the question he asked without any expectation. He probably hadn’t slept a wink, so it was a natural result in a way. Eun-ho didn’t bother to urge him and changed the question.
“How’s your stomach?”
“……Just so-so.”
This ‘just so-so’ didn’t seem like a lie. He didn’t know for sure, but he seemed to be much better than yesterday. He was going to ask if he had eaten dinner, but he decided not to bother asking because he knew what kind of answer he would get.
Instead, Eun-ho nodded and asked.
“Should I make you something to eat, or do you want to get some sleep first?”
He should take a nap because he has to digest after eating. But if he just let him sleep, he thought his stomach would be empty for too long. So he gave him a choice first, but Ji Hyeon returned a call instead of an answer.
“Eun-ho.”
“…….”
He felt strange when he called him that. When his uniquely sweet voice softened gently, he often felt an unbearable tickling sensation. So he couldn’t even answer ‘why’, but Ji Hyeon blinked as if he didn’t care.
“Is the person you like a man?”
“……What?”
What a random question. Eun-ho, who was momentarily flustered, swallowed a hollow laugh with a dumbfounded face.
“Why are you talking about that now?”
Where did this guy hear my words? He said he was gay twice, but he didn’t know why he was bothering to confirm a fact that was obvious. He didn’t answer the question, so what was he thinking in that head of his?
But Ji Hyeon lowered his eyes and muttered as if he didn’t expect an answer.
“A male actor your age…….”
“…….”
Eun-ho couldn’t help but feel nervous at those words. He was afraid that he might say something like ‘Do you like me?’ He didn’t think Ji Hyeon had that much sense, but he had been doing a lot of unexpected things lately.
But before long, an unexpected name popped out of Ji Hyeon’s mouth.
“Park Tae-soo?”
“Are you crazy?”
Eun-ho, who was serious, answered right away. Park Tae-soo. He was the villain in
“Hey, do you think I have such bad taste…….”
He didn’t. Really, incredibly. So how could he have liked this kind of guy for so many years?
“……It’s not Park Tae-soo.”
Eun-ho swallowed a sigh and said firmly. He didn’t know how he had misunderstood, but if you looked at the conditions, it was roughly right. The problem was that there were countless male actors with similar conditions.
“Shin Yi-chan is…… of course not.”
Ji Hyeon guessed again, as if he was thinking about the people closest to him first. This time, Eun-ho didn’t even need to correct him. He seemed to be mentioning a few other male actors’ names, but suddenly his face was filled with displeasure.
“Is it because it’s a man that you said you have no intention of getting together?”
Did this guy take the wrong medicine again? No, it might be more likely that he didn’t take the medicine.
“Is that why you’re not confessing?”
Ji Hyeon, who had been talking less lately, persistently asked about the parts related to him today. He added another word without even knowing that Eun-ho’s face was getting more and more frowned.
“Does the person Kwak Eun-ho likes prefer women?”
“…….”
The person I like just hates people.
Those words rose to the tip of his throat and then subsided again. He almost got angry, but Eun-ho was more confident than anyone else in pretending to be okay. He didn’t have such a weak mind that he would be swayed by these words.
“……Why do you want to know that?”
So Eun-ho stroked the back of his neck and let out a thin sigh. Ji Hyeon, who flinched, narrowed his brows, so he stared at him intently.
“You said you wouldn’t ask about that.”
Ji Hyeon said that. He told him not to make excuses that he didn’t mean because he wouldn’t ask any more. He did ask again once more on the rooftop after that, but he thought it was a tacitly concluded topic anyway. But why, why is he bringing up that story at this timing?
“I said that person doesn’t like me, so I don’t really have any intention of getting together. Why do you keep reminding me of someone I gave up on a long time ago?”
He deliberately spoke as if he was dealing with someone else’s business. He didn’t forget to make his voice sound calm so that he wouldn’t seem to have any lingering feelings. Of course, it was easy to maintain a blank expression without having to try.
“I don’t want to talk about that.”
“…….”
Ji Hyeon moved his lips with a face that seemed to be welling up with something, but he lowered his eyes without saying anything. He thought it was going to end like that, but he started to speak softly, as if he was about to say something.
“Then…….”
But a long time passed and the rest of the words didn’t come out. Ji Hyeon, who paused and hardened his expression, closed his mouth tightly with a face that seemed somehow shocked. Like the time when Eun-ho told him that he shouldn’t be the only one for him.
“…….”
Why does he have that expression? He always thought he was an easy guy to understand, regardless of how complicated his insides were. But lately, he felt more and more difficult. How to treat him, how much to draw the line, and even what to say.
As he worried about those things, he ended up just finding Ji Hyeon difficult.
“……So are you going to sleep, or are you going to eat?”
Eun-ho shifted the bag in his hand to the other side and asked. The conversation had been unnecessarily long, so they had been standing awkwardly and talking for a long time.
Ji Hyeon, who had been serious until then, looked up at Eun-ho blankly and said.
“I don’t have any schedule today.”
“…….”
“It’s a day I don’t go to the hospital either.”
But so what. There was no way Eun-ho, as his Manager, wouldn’t know his schedule. When he was silent with that thought, Ji Hyeon asked in a subdued voice.
“Will you be here even if I wake up?”
“…….”
Ah, I can’t keep feeling sorry for him.
Was the reason he kept hesitating because he was afraid he would leave in the middle? It’s not like they’re playing around together, so he couldn’t understand why it mattered whether he was there or not. The problem was that Ji Hyeon ended up getting weak-hearted every time.
“Go up and get some sleep first.”
Ji Hyeon twitched his eyebrows at the blunt words. Eun-ho added in a softened voice with a deep sigh.
“I’m not going anywhere, so sleep in the bed. Let’s eat together when you wake up later.”
He doesn’t usually sleep for long, so he should eat lunch when he wakes up. He thought it would be good to make a stew and give him a proper meal for the first time in a while. He wouldn’t be able to get enough to eat anywhere else, but he was sure he would just eat protein drinks even if he had all kinds of delicacies in front of him.
“…….”
But instead of going up to the second floor, Ji Hyeon just stared blankly at Eun-ho. He didn’t even blink, and he didn’t even show any intention of answering. At that, Eun-ho frowned and asked.
“Why, what is it, again? Should I sing you a lullaby?”
“……You can’t sing.”
“Hey.”
When he spoke in a low voice, Ji Hyeon finally looked away. He made a sound like the wind was escaping, then slowly got up from the sofa. He stretched his arms above his head with his hands clasped together, tilted his neck left and right, and then turned to look at Eun-ho.
“Wake me up if you get hungry. Don’t eat lunch alone.”
“How many hours do you think you’ll sleep?”
“I think I’ll sleep a little longer today, so that’s why.”
Isn’t it good if you sleep for a long time? He wouldn’t be so hungry that he couldn’t stand it, but even if he was, he had no intention of waking Ji Hyeon up. It was obvious that he would suffer for a long time later if he didn’t sleep when he could.
“If you’re bored…… watch TV or something.”
Is he treating me like a guest? Eun-ho smiled wryly as he thought the same thing Ji Hyeon had said sometime ago. It wasn’t like he had come to his house for a day or two, and it wasn’t the first time he was alone while Ji Hyeon was asleep. He found it funny that he was suddenly worried about his ability to be alone.
“Okay, go to sleep.”
He must be lacking sleep, Eun-ho thought as he headed to the kitchen. He was going to organize the things he had bought in the refrigerator and watch TV as he said. If he searched Newflix, where
“Make sure you wake me up.”
There was no need to answer that. As Kwak Eun-ho silently left, Ji Hyeon finally went up to the second floor. The sound of his slippers dragging, jjik jjik, lingered in his ears, strangely so.
Despite the request to be woken up, Ji Hyeon came down from the second floor as soon as it turned 12. Fortunately, he looked much more refreshed than before, and the sharp expression had also softened considerably. Ruffling his messy hair, Ji Hyeon checked that Eun-ho was sitting on the sofa and let out a sigh of relief.
Come to think of it, Ji Hyeon was always anxious about Eun-ho’s absence. Whether it was when he didn’t have a schedule, when he was sleeping at night, or even in the middle of filming. He would show his displeasure with the slightest separation, and he would do things to stay within sight if he was about to move even a little further away.
In other words, that wasn’t normal.
From the moment he became aware of it, there were more than one or two strange things. He hadn’t noticed because it had gradually seeped in, but looking back, their current relationship wasn’t common. As the number of things that bothered him increased, even insignificant moments began to be noticed.
Why does he eat the food I make without any hesitation? Why does he insist on stopping me from leaving when we’re just doing nothing together at home? If he hates being alone, he could meet other people, so why does he stubbornly insist on Kwak Eun-ho?
At one point, he thought of this as an expression of loneliness. He vaguely imagined a future that might never come, thinking that things would change someday when he had a lover.
However, Ji Hyeon didn’t meet anyone. When a co-star occasionally showed interest, Ji Hyeon would consistently feign ignorance and act like he didn’t notice. If it wasn’t business, he wouldn’t even exchange words, and if it wasn’t acting, he wouldn’t even touch skin.
‘Kwak Eun-ho, I heard you like women?’
I wish I could know that too.
Even if I excused it as a heart that had given up everything, the truth was that it was just invisibly covered up. He had no intention of developing the relationship, but he also had no reason to give up on him. If Ji Hyeon had met someone else or drawn a firm line, he would have cleanly given up on his feelings a long time ago.
Yes, he knew. In the end, it was all selfish excuses. He attached various reasons that sounded good to him, and he was just settling down in the end. So now, wouldn’t it be better to find a way to overcome this situation somehow?
“Tell me if you don’t feel well.”
It was Monday, the day he was returning to the set of the drama
“I’ll cancel the filming right away, so don’t force yourself.”
“I told you I’m fine.”
Ji Hyeon gave a perfunctory answer and clenched and unclenched his right hand, examining it closely. There was no awkwardness in moving it, and he didn’t seem to be complaining of any particular pain.
“I’m all better. It doesn’t hurt as long as I don’t overdo it.”
“……”
The problem is that you look like you’re going to overdo it. Eun-ho, thinking to himself, swallowed a sigh. It wasn’t a one- or two-day thing that the guy with the disgustingly high price tag didn’t think about his body and just ran wild. Once he was focused on one thing, he couldn’t pay attention to anything else, and he was also a perfectionist in strange areas.
“If something happens to you, the filming team and the company will get criticized. Keep that in mind.”
He knew that this was more effective than worrying words. Even when he made a sullen expression, it was enough to add just one more word.
“And I’ll get criticized for what the Manager is doing.”
“……”
The effect wasn’t bad. Ji Hyeon raised his neat eyebrows and made an unpleasant expression. He didn’t know what he was thinking, but he would probably keep his word, even if it was out of annoyance.
Because their visit to the hospital had been delayed, the staff and actors were already gathered at the filming site. According to the schedule he had received while discussing Ji Hyeon’s return, they were planning to film scenes with other actors first.
“Ji Hyeon!”
“Oh my gosh, are you feeling okay?”
As soon as Ji Hyeon and Eun-ho entered the filming site, all sorts of people rushed over to ask how he was doing. Ji Hyeon, who had paused for a moment, smiled with a gentle face as if nothing had happened. Fortunately, he didn’t seem to be in too bad of a condition today.
“I’m fine. I’m all better now.”
“Oh, that’s a relief. We were so worried.”
“You don’t have to wear a cast anymore?”
While Ji Hyeon was greeting people, Eun-ho took a step back and looked around the filming site. He didn’t think he would be back here again, but ridiculously, this whole situation was quite familiar. It would definitely be a busy day, but he felt more at ease than when he was studying.
“Sunbae, are you really okay now?”
When the staff had mostly left, Bo-young, wearing a police uniform, approached. Bo-young, who asked how he was doing with a worried face, discovered Eun-ho a beat later and widened her eyes. And as she had done before, she greeted him in a friendly manner.
“Oh? Manager, you’re back? Did you have a good vacation?”
Instead of answering, Eun-ho glanced at Ji Hyeon for a moment. He wondered what he should say to the people on set, but it seemed that he hadn’t said he quit in the first place. Eun-ho answered with an indifferent face as Ji Hyeon avoided his gaze, looking a little nervous.
“Yes, I had a good rest.”
There was no need to say that he had quit. He didn’t want to explain the detailed internal situation to outsiders. It would be troublesome if he made a mistake during the filming of ‘My MaeSo’.
“That’s right, I heard the news. I heard you’re re-shooting ‘My MaeSo’? When I heard that, I thought President was going to be in it……”
While Bo-young was talking to him in a friendly manner, a familiar face could be seen in the distance. It was Park Tae-soo, dressed in all black. Eun-ho, who had inadvertently turned his head, bowed his head to greet Tae-soo because their eyes met.
“……”
“……”
However, Tae-soo didn’t even pretend to see Eun-ho and went the other way. Ignoring the Manager’s greeting wasn’t that strange, but it was strange that he had ignored Ji Hyeon, who was standing with Eun-ho.
‘Didn’t he see us?’
It wasn’t a distance where he couldn’t have seen them. Of course, it wasn’t like they had no presence either. Even if he hadn’t seen them, he would have shown his face when the filming site was so bustling. Since Ji Hyeon was Tae-soo’s Sunbae, he would have come over to greet him if he had any sense.
“Sunbae!”
Instead of Tae-soo, who had already disappeared, Shin Yi-chan approached them. Eun-ho thought that the way he was running over in a hurry was like a dog wagging its tail. A little too big to be a dog, though.
“Sunbae, are you allowed to move around now? I wanted to visit you, but they said I couldn’t because you needed to rest……”
“Oh, Yi-chan-ah. Take it easy. Sunbae must be dizzy.”
“No, Noona, that’s true, but……”
Yi-chan, who was chattering away, was scolded by Bo-young and made a sullen expression. He didn’t know if they had become close while Eun-ho was away, but his honorifics and tone seemed quite friendly.
‘But even so, he’s still calling him Sunbae.’
He said he had become close with his fellow actors. It seems he doesn’t know that friendship doesn’t develop just by going to company dinners together. It’s not necessary to drop the honorifics, but the fact that he didn’t even pay attention to that revealed Ji Hyeon’s immaturity.
“Anyway, I was really worried.”
“Well…… I’m okay now.”
Ji Hyeon answered kindly to his words with drooping eyes. It was better than ignoring him, but Eun-ho still felt awkward. But it seems he made an effort. No sooner had he thought that than Yi-chan turned to Eun-ho.
“Hyung, did you have a good vacation?”
“Yes, I had a good rest.”
It was a similar question to what Bo-young had asked. Eun-ho also gave the same answer without much thought.
“Did you go on a trip?”
“No, I just took a break for personal reasons.”
“I’m glad you had a good rest!”
His cheerful voice was consistent. Looking at him, he was reminded of the face that had been hesitant and intimidated. Yi-chan’s appearance when he came to the waiting room on the day he quit being a Manager.
‘I’ll treat you to a meal next time……’
Come to think of it, didn’t he say he would contact him? The reason Ji Hyeon and he fought was because of that one business card. Eun-ho was comfortable if he didn’t contact him, but he didn’t know if there had been any change of heart.
“Hyung, that, you gave me your business card last time.”
But at an amazing timing, Yi-chan rolled his eyes and lowered his voice. It was the very topic that Eun-ho was thinking about. Bo-young had already gone over there, and only Yi-chan remained by his side with a troubled face and continued his words.
“But that’s……”
“Shin Yi-chan.”
Suddenly, someone cut off Yi-chan’s words. It was Ji Hyeon, who had been standing silently next to him. Ji Hyeon naturally blocked Eun-ho and pointed to a chair in one corner of the filming site.
“Let’s go over the lines for a bit. It’s been so long since I’ve filmed, I can’t get a feel for it.”
“Ah, yes!”
It was a natural suggestion, but it was enough to make Eun-ho look bewildered. What do you mean you can’t get a feel for it because it’s been so long since you’ve filmed? Besides, if you really had to go over the lines, it didn’t have to be with Yi-chan.
“Hyung, I’ll talk to you again later!”
Yi-chan quickly left Eun-ho behind and followed Ji Hyeon. He wasn’t upset about that fact, but Ji Hyeon, who was subtly looking at him, was quite funny. In Eun-ho’s experience, that was the expression he made when he had done something wrong.
What did that guy do again? Eun-ho, thinking that, swallowed a hollow laugh.
Filming ended in the late evening. In fact, it was thanks to the fact that they had filmed all of Ji Hyeon’s parts first, since he was the most important. The time spent filming and throwing away scenes without delay was short, but the only problem was that he seemed tired because he didn’t even have time to rest.
“Thank you for your hard work!”
“Drive safely!”
On the way out of the filming site, receiving various greetings, Eun-ho turned around as soon as he sat in the driver’s seat and checked Ji Hyeon’s condition first. Fortunately, he wasn’t sweating, his face wasn’t pale, and he didn’t have the usual unpleasant expression.
“Your arm?”
“It’s fine.”
As if to prove that those words weren’t a lie, Ji Hyeon rotated his right shoulder a few times. Today, the filming was mainly indoors, so the most he did with his right hand was take notes. Only then did Eun-ho start the car with a relieved face.
“……”
“……”
On the way home, Ji Hyeon silently read the script. He’s just unnecessarily physically strong, so he still has the strength to read the script even after filming all day. If he had just taken a nap, he would have left him alone, but if that was the case, there was no need to make allowances for him.
“What did you do with my business card?”
“……”
Ji Hyeon flinched at the sudden words. Eun-ho, who was driving, couldn’t see properly, but the words that followed also sounded suspicious.
“……What business card?”
There was no way he couldn’t know. If you’re going to act shamelessly, hide it completely. How can I ignore him when he’s glancing at me? Someone else would have casually ignored it, but Eun-ho, who had been watching Ji Hyeon for a long time, didn’t.
“The business card I gave to Shin Yi-chan last time, what did you do with it?”
“Ah…… that.”
Fortunately, Ji Hyeon didn’t pretend not to know until the end. He probably thought it was no use denying it. But the slow words that followed weren’t exactly an admission of guilt.
“Why are you asking me that?”
It was a nonchalant retort and natural enough to be fooled. It was strange to ask Ji Hyeon about the whereabouts of the business card that should actually be with Yi-chan.
Yes, if he hadn’t added one more word.
“How would I know if he lost it?”
Um, Eun-ho, whose Adam’s apple bobbed, stepped on the brake. He gently stopped the car at a traffic light and looked at Ji Hyeon through the rearview mirror. His handsome eyes met his, and he asked casually.
“Did he lose the business card?”
“……”
It was an expression of realization. He could tell by the way he frowned.
“I didn’t know that.”
Well, he had roughly expected that. There had been no contact so far, and just listening to the introduction that Yi-chan had made, he could tell that there was a problem with the business card. Nevertheless, he had pretended not to know, but Ji Hyeon hesitated for a moment and then told Eun-ho.
“He said he lost the business card and asked me for your number. But I told him not to contact you because you were resting.”
“When?”
“Not long after you quit.”
He didn’t seem to be lying this time. It was also true that he added, “I said it nicely.” The traffic light turned green at a good time, and Eun-ho looked straight ahead again and said calmly.
“Good job.”
Was he being so cautious just for that reason? Even if he’s been intimidated these days, that’s a bit too much. It’s not like I’d say anything if he didn’t give me the number.
‘Or there must be another reason……’
Of course, that didn’t mean he was going to pry into it. He had only asked once because he was wondering if he had caused an accident, but he didn’t intend to make it difficult for him. Besides, it was really ambiguous to be persistent with Ji Hyeon these days.
“……Is that all?”
“What?”
“Is that all the reaction you’re going to give me?”
“Then what else should I say?”
It was fortunate for Eun-ho that Ji Hyeon had told him not to contact him. The moment he quit being a Manager, he had completely forgotten about anything related to Yi-chan. If he had contacted him out of the blue, he wouldn’t have had a good reaction either.
“Honestly, if he had contacted me while I was resting, it would have been annoying.”
That’s why I told him, but there was no answer from behind. Unfortunately, he was driving, so he couldn’t see what kind of expression Ji Hyeon was making.
After a long time, Ji Hyeon asked Eun-ho again.
“Are you going to meet him?”
“Well, if he contacts me, I’ll meet him……”
Isn’t the nuance of ‘meet’ a bit strange? At best, he’ll just have a cup of tea and listen to Yi-chan’s excuses. In fact, now that so much time has passed, there was no need to talk about it.
“I know roughly what he’s going to say, so there’s no need.”
He wasn’t curious in the first place, and he wasn’t particularly interested. He had only given him the business card because he was afraid that something more troublesome would happen, and Eun-ho would be more comfortable if he didn’t contact him. What good would it do to drag out the conversation and get caught up in gossip?
“……”
Ji Hyeon just stared at Eun-ho without saying anything. All he could see in the rearview mirror was his eyes, but he didn’t know what he was looking at, sending a blank gaze. After a long time, Ji Hyeon muttered in a small voice as if talking to himself.
“……You’re really mean too.”
“……”
He let out a hollow laugh. He wasn’t going to deny it, but he wondered if that was something he should hear from Ji Hyeon. It wasn’t like he was upset, he was just a little dumbfounded.
“Don’t say useless things and just sleep.”
At the same time as those words, Ji Hyeon withdrew his gaze. He leaned his head against the backrest and turned his head to look out the car window. The faintly swaying night lights permeated his light eyes.
“……”
“……”
It’s rare to have a relationship where silence isn’t awkward. He didn’t know how long it had been since he had been with that precious guy. Without either of them being on edge, and without being nervous. This moment when the softly audible breathing wasn’t burdensome.
‘I wish we could just stay like this.’
If that were the case, there would be no need to quit being a Manager. Eun-ho was suited for this job, and he didn’t hate staying by Ji Hyeon’s side. There was nothing as tiring as trying to make a change, so he desperately wanted to maintain the quiet state.
Well, he knew that it was ultimately a futile wish. Maintaining the status quo was as difficult as making a change, and their relationship had already begun to change. All that was left was to finish it perfectly.
The filming of ‘My MaeSo’, and his feelings for Ji Hyeon.
In the days that followed, uneventful days were repeated. A schedule of picking up Ji Hyeon early in the morning and taking him home again after filming. Ordinary days when Ji Hyeon didn’t make any big whims, and Eun-ho had no reason to get angry at him.
“Manager, it’s been a while!”
And the day of the long-awaited ‘My MaeSo’ filming arrived. Eun-ho shook hands with PD Yoo, who greeted him happily, and exchanged eye contact with the camera director and staff.
“Thank you for your hard work on this filming.”
“Oh, I should be the one saying that.”
Unlike last time, they weren’t planning to reveal the inside of the house this time. Because of that, the observation cameras were only installed in the van they would be riding in. The main filming locations were the studio and the hospital, and today, the alleyway, an outdoor filming location, would become the backdrop for “My MaeSo.”
Although
“Just do as you did last time, comfortably…”Therefore, since they had to adjust to the filming schedule of
“Please feel free to depart when you’re ready.”
As soon as PD Yoo finished speaking, Eun-ho got into the van. Ji Hyeon was already sitting in the back seat, looking at the script.
Ji Hyeon glanced at Eun-ho, who got into the driver’s seat, and spoke as if to himself.
“You’re not wearing a mask this time.”
That got a good reaction, the voice that flowed out casually lingered in his ear. Eun-ho fiddled with the back of his neck for no reason and replied.
“I wore it because the filming team told me to then.”
Come to think of it, he must have watched “My MaeSo,” too. He felt awkward for some reason. He had forgotten about it because he hadn’t specifically talked about it, but being on TV in front of a guy whose job was an actor was quite embarrassing. At that time, the CG that sprinkled all sorts of glitter the moment he took off his mask also felt embarrassing.
“Can we leave?”
“Do as you please.”
As expected, unlike the nervous Eun-ho, Ji Hyeon shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent face. As if to prove he was an actor, he exuded a unique relaxed atmosphere as soon as the cameras were installed.
Eun-ho glanced at Ji Hyeon and clapped his hands in front of the camera installed in the front.
There was no need to have a conversation on the way to the filming location. He had learned from the last filming that even if he didn’t deliberately turn on the radio, he had faith that PD Yoo would edit it accordingly.
So Eun-ho let Ji Hyeon read the script throughout the journey. All he said was asking how his condition was, as he always did, and telling him not to overdo it if his arm hurt. Ji Hyeon also just replied that he was fine, as usual.
“Actors, please wait over here!”
The alleyway that had been scouted in advance was, as always, chaotic and noisy. It was always like that at filming locations, but in the case of outdoor filming, they had to move much more busily than usual. Since filming conditions could change flexibly depending on the weather and other conditions, they could potentially waste an entire day.
The same was true for the scene they were filming this time. It wasn’t a long scene, but he heard that the order had been pushed back because the location scouting and weather were ambiguous. After everything was ready, Ji Hyeon got injured, so they had to wait for a long time again.
“Don’t overdo it, ever.”
Eun-ho repeatedly urged Ji Hyeon. This was because the scene Ji Hyeon was filming today was an intense fight scene that took place in an alleyway. Not Min-hyuk possessed by Jun-hyuk, the prosecutor, but just Kwon Min-hyuk. As the main character of
“If it hurts even a little, just call NG. Got it?”
“……”
Ji Hyeon didn’t answer and just stared at Eun-ho. For the past few days, he had always had this expression whenever Eun-ho said something he was worried about. He seemed to be listening intently, but he also seemed to be thinking about something else. His slowly blinking eyes somehow looked innocent.
“Give me your arm.”
Eun-ho carefully rolled up Ji Hyeon’s sleeve and meticulously examined the wrapped bandage. He didn’t forget to check Ji Hyeon’s complexion just before his hand touched him. If he showed symptoms of mysophobia again, he was going to just look at it from the outside without touching it. Fortunately, Ji Hyeon didn’t show any particular resistance, and the bandage wrapped from his wrist was also fine.
“Tell me if it comes loose, and I’ll rewrap it.”
Since injuries were common after filming an action scene, Eun-ho knew how to do most first aid treatments. He had also memorized various taping methods, and at one time, he had seriously considered learning sports massage. Of course, he quit because he thought he looked more like a sports player’s Manager than an actor’s.
“I’ll be watching from the side, but in the end, you have to take care of yourself when it hurts. So keep my words in mind.”
“……Uh.”
Finally, a small answer came from Ji Hyeon. Eun-ho felt relieved at the sight of him even nodding his head and let go of his arm. Ji Hyeon fiddled with the part that Eun-ho had touched, and for no reason, he repeatedly clenched and unclenched his right hand.
“We’ll just match the movements once and then go!”
Ji Hyeon left for the front of the camera, and Eun-ho took a seat where the staff were. There were so many cameras that the “My MaeSo” filming team with the MBS mark wasn’t even noticeable. So Eun-ho just crossed his arms as usual and stared at Ji Hyeon with a serious look.
‘Of all things, he had to injure his right arm……’
‘He’s a born actor when I see him like this.’
Even though it didn’t suit his usual personality, Eun-ho thought he was a very passionate actor. But when he told him this one day, Ji Hyeon replied, ‘This is all I know how to do.’ His face was somehow self-deprecating, and yet, a faint sense of pride could be seen.
“Please be quiet over there!”
Because it was a long take scene, they had to check the movements with the supporting actors several times before the actual filming preparations were finished. When the PD gestured busily, a staff member quickly ran out to prepare the slate. After hitting the slate with a thud! sound to signal, Ji Hyeon, with his disheveled hair, shouted in a rough voice.
“You crazy bastards!”
The advantage and disadvantage of OTT dramas is that explicit swear words are broadcasted as is without filtering. Since Kwon Min-hyuk was a character with a foul mouth, Ji Hyeon had always been living with swear words on his lips on set recently. He wasn’t originally someone who spoke politely, but it felt different when he said those kinds of curses.
‘It’s amazing how his voice changes so much……’
Ji Hyeon basically used a relaxed and sweet tone. It felt as soft as cappuccino foam, but when he played Kwon Min-hyuk, it was the complete opposite. He swaggered and sneered, and he also made a sound of scratching his throat with a lot of pretense.
“Not gonna move? You fucking……”
Before he could finish speaking, the supporting actor standing in front of him swung his fist. Ji Hyeon dodged it familiarly by lowering his posture and kicked up a wooden stick that had fallen on the floor with his toe. After grabbing the towering wooden stick with one hand, he hit the supporting actor’s back without hesitation.
“Agh!”
That was the beginning of the full-fledged fight scene. The moment the wooden stick that had been broken in advance broke in half, the people surrounding Ji Hyeon rushed at him.
‘Please let it end in one take……’
The longer it took, the more tired Ji Hyeon would be than anyone else. Holding the wooden stick, swinging the weapon, all the actions he was doing now would put a strain on his right arm. He would be able to do it easily at first, but as his stamina ran out, it would inevitably become difficult.
“Kwon Min-hyuk, you son of a bitch, I’m going to kill you today!”
“Try killing me, you fucking bastard!”
He couldn’t hear the shouting voices well. Eun-ho checked Ji Hyeon’s movements without even blinking. Blocking another person’s fist with one hand, kicking the supporting actor with his foot and staggering back with annoyance. And even getting hit in the head from behind and falling forward.
“……”With a thud sound, Eun-ho narrowed his brow slightly.” His already serious face hardened even more.
“You idiot. That’s what happens when you’re alone for too long?”
“Even the great Kwon Min-hyuk can’t beat a gang.”
He’s…… I think he landed on his right hand wrong.
“……Ah, these sneaky bastards.”
Ji Hyeon, who slowly recited his lines, spat on the floor and got up. To be exact, he only pretended to support himself with his right arm and grabbed the wall with his left arm to maintain his balance. Cracking his neck and loosening his shoulders was the same as the script, but the fact that the hand holding the wooden stick had changed to his left hand was a little strange.
“Where do you think you’re going, you bastard.”With a thud!” sound, the supporting actor kicked Ji Hyeon’s back. It was naturally a scene in the script, and staggering was probably acting as well. However, the fact that he was clenching his right hand tightly was not acting.
‘……That’s real.’
I told him not to hold back. He never listens.
“Come at me all at once, you losers.”
“Where do you think you’re getting that swagger from!”
Eun-ho, who had become anxious, frowned, but he couldn’t barge in during filming. Ji Hyeon held the wooden stick in his left hand and continued the movements he had matched again. It wasn’t a difficult movement, so there was no problem with the action even though the hand holding the wooden stick had changed. After a period of continued fighting, this time Ji Hyeon blocked a wooden stick swung by another person with his right arm.
“……”
Even if it was a wooden stick that had already been broken, it couldn’t have been painless. Even if he was wearing a protective gear, the impact would have been transmitted as is. The sweat dripping down his temple was definitely not just because of the hot weather.
Yes, otherwise, there was no way he would have gritted his teeth like that.
“Aaaagh!”
At the end of someone’s scream, Ji Hyeon switched the wooden stick to his right hand. He took a shallow breath and raised his arm high, then swung it violently at the only supporting actor standing. With a thud! dull sound, the wooden stick broke, and the large supporting actor fell to the floor with a thud.
“……”
For a while, no sound was heard. In the deathly silent scenery, only one person, Ji Hyeon, stood tall. And not long after, Ji Hyeon threw down the wooden stick and slumped to the floor.
“Cut!”
Eun-ho’s lips trembled slightly. His gaze was still fixed on Ji Hyeon. While Ji Hyeon was panting heavily, the PD shouted loudly once more.
“Okay! Let’s take a short break!”
At the same time, Eun-ho kicked off his seat and approached Ji Hyeon. Thanks to walking almost as if he was running, he was able to reach him in the blink of an eye. The moment Ji Hyeon, who had been sitting powerlessly, swept back his hair and raised his head, Eun-ho just spat out one word while suppressing the rising curses.
“Get up.”
“……”
He was going to lift him up if he couldn’t get up, but Ji Hyeon got up from his seat obediently. As expected, he didn’t use his right arm, and instead, he patted off his clothes with his left hand. Eun-ho, who had been staring intently at his limp right arm, turned around first and walked towards where the car was parked.
“……”
“……”
Was it because he had at least some sense? Ji Hyeon followed Eun-ho silently. He didn’t ask where he was going, and he didn’t say where it hurt. Feeling the presence following him obediently, Eun-ho swallowed dryly to suppress the bubbling inside.
The van they had come in was parked not far away. Originally, he would have made Ji Hyeon sit on a chair prepared in one corner of the filming location, but now he needed a place to avoid the eyes of others. The others would probably think they were just resting in the car for a while.
“Get in.”
As soon as they arrived at the car, Eun-ho first opened the back seat door. When Ji Hyeon hesitated (probably because he didn’t want to get in because his clothes were dirty), he lowered his voice and urged him.
“Get in quickly while I’m being nice.”
Perhaps realizing that the atmosphere was unusual, Ji Hyeon got into the car obediently. Eun-ho got into the seat next to him instead of heading to the driver’s seat. And as soon as he closed the door, he spoke as if ordering him.
“Arm.”
This time too, Ji Hyeon obediently held out his right arm. Not knowing where to start or how to touch it, Eun-ho closed his eyes tightly for a moment and then opened them, grabbing his sleeve. Inside the sleeve that he had carefully rolled up like that, he saw a wrist that was swollen as expected.
“……”
“……”
It felt as if his vision was turning black. It also felt as if the inside of his stomach was burning hot, as if he had swallowed a ball of fire. As soon as the string of reason he had barely maintained snapped, Eun-ho chewed out with a coldly hardened face.
“You’re crazy, really.”
Ji Hyeon parted his lips. But before Eun-ho could say anything, he poured out the boiling anger as is.
“Are you not going to use your right arm for the rest of your life? Are you trying to retire after filming this one scene?”
I told him to say something if it hurt. Whether it was an NG or not, shouldn’t the actor be alive first? No one was asking him for a spirit of sacrifice, but there was nothing more stupid than overdoing it on his own.
“I told you not to hold back. Where do you keep your mind? How long has it been since you injured your arm, and you’re throwing your body around like that!”
As he spoke, his emotions gradually became agitated. No, he didn’t even intend to speak calmly in the first place. He was afraid of this, he knew this would happen, so he brought Ji Hyeon to the car. If he had caused a fuss in the middle of the filming location, it was clear that the atmosphere would have become bad.
“You’re not some clueless rookie, you’re someone who knows enough, so why……!”
“Kwak Eun-ho.”
But before he could finish speaking, Ji Hyeon suddenly called his name. It was an unexpected action from a guy who would normally listen quietly. Just as he was about to tell him to shut up and listen, thinking he had gone crazy, Ji Hyeon gestured with his chin towards the front seat.
“……There’s a camera there.”
“……”
Eun-ho, who had shut his mouth tightly, looked in the direction he was pointing. A camera installed alone in the black van. The red light coming from that camera was watching Eun-ho exactly.
“……Ah.”
I’m screwed.
Eun-ho, who rarely got angry, often raised his voice when it came to things related to Ji Hyeon. For example, when Ji Hyeon crossed the line without knowing the extent of his anger, or when he found him sleeping like a dead man after taking alcohol and medicine together.
‘Are you crazy?’
He learned from Ji Hyeon that worry turns into anger when it’s excessive. The feeling of his heart sinking was similar to the feeling of the ground collapsing under his feet the moment his Grandmother passed away. His insides were rotting, so all that came out of his mouth were all sorts of accusations.
‘Are you crazy and trying to die? What kind of crazy bastard eats that with alcohol!’
He was furious and raised his voice as if he was about to grab him by the collar. Ji Hyeon, who rarely showed a flustered expression, asked with a blank face after a long time.
‘……Are you worried about me?’
‘Fuck, is that even something you need to ask……’
There were so many ways to shut him up. He wouldn’t know what to do if he came out brazenly, but when he started to look at him carefully, it was even more ambiguous to get angry. Frustration welled up, but Eun-ho barely suppressed his anger after receiving a promise that he would never do that again.
Fortunately, or perhaps unfortunately, that never happened again after that. He was a guy who didn’t listen to what he was told, but he was obedient at important moments. No, maybe the threat that he wouldn’t let him off if he did something similar even once more had worked.
In any case, Ji Hyeon steadily worried Eun-ho, and because of that, getting angry had become commonplace. Even if he poured out his resentment a little excessively, it was even more so because that bad-tempered guy was listening meekly.
Yes, so Eun-ho didn’t even know how that would look to others.
After discovering the camera in the van, the short break time ended not long after. Eun-ho, who was going to take Ji Hyeon to the hospital, had no choice but to drop his plan because Ji Hyeon firmly said that it wasn’t that bad. Ji Hyeon’s claim that the part that was injured in the first place wasn’t wrong also played a part.
After rewrapping the bandage, he even threatened to stop filming if he overdid it again. He belatedly chose his words, conscious of the camera, but he also had a half-resigned feeling. Since the water had already been spilled, he thought he should say what he had to say since it had come to this.
Ji Hyeon nodded his head kindly again and looked at Eun-ho with innocent eyes, unlike usual. He was a guy with glamorous features who looked sensitive, but at times like this, he looked endlessly weak. So much so that the words he wanted to say came up to the tip of his chin but disappeared with a sigh.
“Um, PD Yoo.”
And when all the filming for
“I have a favor to ask.”
PD Yoo, who was checking the footage, looked like he had fully expected what Eun-ho was going to say. It was clear from the way he nodded without any surprise that he was telling him to go ahead. Eun-ho spoke as politely as possible about what he had been thinking about all along.
“I’m sorry, but I’d like you to edit out the conversation we had in the car earlier.”
He had that thought within five seconds of spotting the camera. First, he would leave it as it was, and then ask PD Yoo about it later. Begging for edits was something he had done more than once or twice while working as a Manager.
“Is it because of the viewers’ reactions?”
As expected, PD Yoo didn’t even ask what scene he was talking about. That was because Eun-ho’s flustered reaction to the camera would have been captured as it was. Eun-ho nodded and continued slowly.
“Yes, I don’t think it’s right for a scene of me getting angry at an actor to be aired, no matter what.”
There were more than one or two reactions he could anticipate. No matter what, there was no way to avoid negative opinions, such as whether a Manager should act like that, or whether Ji Hyeon was so docile because he had been yelled at so much.
“And it’s not just about my image… I think the actor might feel like he’s not being respected. And of course, there will be talk that the filming team isn’t taking care of him properly.
He wouldn’t mind if they only criticized him, but it seemed like they would also say that Ji Hyeon was foolish and that the filming site was a mess. It was even more worrying because it was right after the accident where the lighting fell and he got hurt.
“Please.”
“Hmm…”
Eun-ho thought he would readily agree, but PD Yoo seemed to hesitate for a moment. He made a long humming sound and frowned ambiguously. The answer that came back was a subtle nuance that wasn’t quite positive.
“I’ll edit it well so that kind of talk doesn’t come out.”
“……”
Was it just his imagination? It sounded like he was saying he would air it as it was without cutting it. Just as Eun-ho was about to say something, PD Yoo waved his hand with a friendly face.
“Don’t worry. I’m not the kind of person who causes problems with things like this.”
There was credibility in that statement. In fact, PD Yoo Hye-seon tended to respect the cast rather than create sensational content. Unlike other programs that turned even trivial remarks into controversies over personality, his goal was to create a heartwarming program that everyone could watch without feeling uncomfortable.
“I’m a little greedy for that scene, so I want to make the most of it. I fully understand what you’re saying, Manager, so please trust me and leave it to me.”
He was so confident that even Eun-ho was overwhelmed by his confidence and had no choice but to shut his mouth. He would be filming with him anyway, and the fact that he didn’t want to cause any trouble for him was also quite trustworthy.
“……Yes, then I’ll leave it to you.”
In the end, Eun-ho gave up on the edit and nodded. He was relieved that he had spotted the camera before he started swearing. He figured that PD Yoo would cut out the word ‘crazy’ at least, so it wouldn’t be bad to trust him and leave it to him.
Eun-ho gave PD Yoo a light bow and headed back to where Ji Hyeon was. Ji Hyeon, who had been wearing all sorts of fake wounds, had already returned to his clean-faced state. Because his bangs were fixed with bobby pins, his round forehead was fully exposed.
‘Like a boiled Egg.’
He slept like crap, but his skin was unbelievably good. His smooth forehead was clean without any blemishes. As he scanned his well-groomed eyebrows and long eyelashes with his eyes, Ji Hyeon lifted his eyelids as if he felt his gaze.
“……”
“……”
Their eyes met in the air, staring straight at Eun-ho. The sky was already pitch black, but the lights illuminating the set were brightening Ji Hyeon’s face. His eyes, which took on a particularly light color when exposed to light, were so beautiful that they could easily be mesmerizing.
He lived up to his looks. When he was still, Eun-ho could understand why fans called him ‘Jizel’. It was a nickname that Ji Hyeon hated, but Eun-ho had never seen a more handsome face than his.
“Did he say he’d edit it?”
The words that popped out were enough to bring him back to reality, which he had forgotten. Eun-ho quickly came to his senses and ran a hand over the back of his neck. The stylist who had been standing next to Ji Hyeon glanced around and moved away from them.
“Well… he said he’d try to make sure there’s no talk about it.”
“So he’s not going to do it.”
He simply shrugged at the pointed remark. Ji Hyeon took out the pin he had stuck in his hair and roughly ruffled his bangs. There was one pin left on the side of his head, and Eun-ho unconsciously reached out towards it and said.
“Hold still.”
“……”
Ji Hyeon stopped moving and looked at Eun-ho. Eun-ho carefully removed the remaining bobby pin. He was so focused on not pulling his hair that his face naturally got closer.
“What were you going to do with this left on?”
It wasn’t like he was putting in pins for a day or two, but it was funny that he always left one on the side of his head. He even chuckled without realizing it, but Ji Hyeon didn’t say anything and just stared at Eun-ho. Then, the moment their eyes met again, he flinched and quickly turned his head away.
“……I didn’t know it was there.”
His tone was stiffer and more brusque than usual. Even the way he fiddled with the part that Eun-ho’s hand had touched was like that. Eun-ho thought that maybe he had touched something that made him feel bad, and held out his hand to Ji Hyeon.
“Give me the pin you took out. I’ll give it to Yeonju.”
Originally, the stylist would have taken them all out, but Ji Hyeon hated being touched so much that they tried to minimize contact. It was clear that she had only removed his makeup and left today, just in case she offended him.
“Wait a minute. I’ll be right back.”
He must be very tired, so he should take him home quickly. He still seemed okay, but there was no telling when his condition would worsen again.
“……”
Ji Hyeon handed over the bobby pin and silently watched Eun-ho’s back. Eun-ho, who left without looking back, didn’t notice Ji Hyeon’s gaze.
And those two were quietly watched by a camera with the MBS mark.
To get straight to the point, they couldn’t go straight home. It was because the filming team hosted a light dinner to celebrate Ji Hyeon’s return. That was the reason in name only, but they knew that it was actually for the filming and promotion of ‘My MaeSo’.
The dinner was held at the barbecue restaurant that Eun-ho had seen in the photos. Eun-ho had been planning to refuse if Ji Hyeon didn’t like it, but he silently headed to the barbecue restaurant after confirming that he didn’t show any particular resistance. Despite filming for such a long time, he even seemed to be in better condition.
Ji Hyeon didn’t eat any meat, but instead drank a few cans of non-alcoholic beer that Eun-ho had bought for him. He looked like he wanted to drink beer, so he asked the restaurant staff for permission and bought it from a nearby convenience store. Ji Hyeon probably didn’t even know it was non-alcoholic.
That’s how they finished the dinner and headed home. Ji Hyeon leaned his head against the car window and blinked blankly. He couldn’t have been drunk from drinking non-alcoholic beer, but he seemed to be spacing out throughout the dinner. Eun-ho was about to ask if he was sick, but he checked the camera installed in the van and casually brought up another topic.
“Get some sleep if you’re tired.”
“I’m not tired.”
He always answered so diligently. Didn’t he know that he had no credibility at all when he said that with a tired face?
“Even if you’re not tired, keep your eyes closed.”
“……”
This time, there was no particular answer. Instead, he adjusted his posture and quietly closed his eyes. Only quiet breaths occasionally lingered in the car, where not even the radio was turned on.
Ji Hyeon kept his eyes closed until they arrived in front of his house. Eun-ho thought he might have fallen asleep for a moment, so he didn’t say anything to him. He looked back every time they stopped at a light, but he only checked his complexion and left him alone.
“Thank you for your hard work today!”
The filming of ‘My MaeSo’ continued to the underground parking lot of the apartment. All the schedules were finished when the staff removed the camera installed in the van and Ji Hyeon exchanged greetings with PD Yoo. Since the next filming was an interview at the studio, PD Yoo dismissed the filming team, saying that he would see them tomorrow.
After everyone had left, Eun-ho checked that the car doors were locked and gestured towards the entrance of the building.
“Go in. I’ll pick you up tomorrow.”
“……”
He was planning to go straight home from here, but Ji Hyeon didn’t respond to Eun-ho’s words. He lowered his head for a moment and spoke in a slightly awkward tone.
“Come up for a bit and be my scene partner.”
“Scene partner?”
What script was he going to look at at this hour? Even as he thought that, he asked anyway. Ji Hyeon still couldn’t make eye contact and spoke slowly.
“Yeah, it’s not working out well when I do it alone.”
He had been doing well on his own until now. It was a ridiculous excuse, but he couldn’t bring himself to say no. The ‘My MaeSo’ filming team had already left, and there was no reason for Eun-ho to accept his request.
So Eun-ho checked the time and swallowed a sigh. He thought that the guy, who hadn’t been acting up lately, was being very creative in telling him not to leave. It was an obvious ploy, but that was why he was willing to go along with it.
“……Where is it not working out?”
As soon as he came up to his house, Ji Hyeon took a shower first. It was a semi-habitual action, and Eun-ho, who was left alone, couldn’t help but feel awkward. Just as he was wondering if he could sit on the sofa because he felt strangely awkward, Ji Hyeon came out to the living room after finishing his shower.
“……What.”
He looked at Eun-ho, who was standing in the living room, with a somewhat dissatisfied look. Fortunately, he was wearing home wear instead of a gown, and had a towel on his wet hair.
He looked Eun-ho up and down again and asked as if he couldn’t understand.
“Why are you standing there like that?”
“……”
Why was he standing there like that? Because the owner of the house had gone to wash up, so he was standing here like this. When Eun-ho gave him a dumbfounded look, Ji Hyeon muttered in an even more dumbfounded tone.
“Why are you being so awkward now……”
Well, it wasn’t that he didn’t understand. When Ji Hyeon treated him like a guest, Eun-ho had reacted the same way. Originally, he would have sat on the sofa and waited for him, whether he washed up or not.
“Who was it that asked me to look at the script and then went to take a shower?”
After replying nonchalantly, Eun-ho sat down on the sofa. He sat in the diagonal seat he always sat in, and Ji Hyeon just stared at Eun-ho. Since the script was on the table, Eun-ho gestured towards it and asked.
“So where do you want me to look at?”
Only then did Ji Hyeon silently sit on the sofa and bring the script. He flipped through the pages and then opened it to a part and placed it on the table. He slid the script in front of Eun-ho and then slyly averted his gaze.
“This part isn’t working out well.”
“……”
Was he just opening it to a random page?
Even as he thought that, Eun-ho looked at the script that Ji Hyeon had handed him. Min-hyuk and Yoo-jin. ‘S#32’, which featured the two of them, was one of the few love scenes in
‘It’s going to be tough when we film it again.’
Eun-ho skimmed through the script and thought to himself. It was a fleeting scene, but there was a scene where they lightly kissed. He knew that the guy, who was extremely reluctant to have contact with others, would be stressed out again just to film this one scene. It would be fortunate if they could film it in one take without any NGs, but things wouldn’t always go as planned.
“Do we just have to go over this one scene?”
“For now.”
It was an unsatisfactory answer, but he just let it go. Since he had followed him up here in the first place, he didn’t think that they would only go over one scene. At first, it might have been because he didn’t want to be alone, but once he started practicing, Ji Hyeon would become serious.
“You’ve memorized all the lines, right?”
It was an obvious question, but he asked it anyway. Eun-ho got up from his seat and moved to the seat next to him when Ji Hyeon nodded. It was better to be in the same position as the script as much as possible because he had to look at the lines, as well as the movements and eye contact.
“Start when you’re ready.”
When Eun-ho said that, Ji Hyeon gently pressed down on the top of the script he was holding. The way he was peeking at it made it seem like he really didn’t know what kind of scene it was. Eun-ho barely managed to hold back a laugh and waited for him to start his lines.
“……Are you really not going to talk to me?”
The voice that came out slowly was quite different from Ji Hyeon’s. The languid feeling was completely gone, and instead it was low and rough. Ji Hyeon tilted his head, lowering his eyebrows as instructed.
“Really……? Really?”
The scene they were going to practice was the part right after the scene they filmed today. It was a scene where Min-hyuk’s lover, Yoo-jin, was upset when she saw her lover’s face full of scars. Conversely, Min-hyuk had to be mindful of Yoo-jin and gently soothe her mood.
“I said I was wrong……. Huh?”
There was a hint of aegyo in the long drawn-out words. It was exactly the tone of voice he would use to act cute to appease his lover. Eun-ho was inwardly impressed by how different he could be from his usual self and read Yoo-jin’s lines.
“You always just say that. Don’t you think about how worried I’ll be?”
How could the word ‘Darling’ be so stiff? It was a line full of worry and affection, but all Eun-ho could do was literally ‘read’ it. Acting was all he had done in the kindergarten talent show, where he played the role of a tree, so it was unreasonable to expect a great emotional connection.
“What did I tell you last time? I said I wouldn’t let you off easy if you did it again.”
“I didn’t want to fight either, Darling……. But what can I do when those bastards attacked me first.”
Even in front of Eun-ho, who was speaking like a machine, Ji Hyeon acted with a serious attitude as if he was on a real filming set. This was what Eun-ho thought was amazing about him, from the first time he looked at the script until now. Every time he opened his mouth, the atmosphere was ruined, but Ji Hyeon would say his lines without a care.
‘An actor is an actor.’
Well, it was a good thing. Since he wasn’t expecting him to have great acting skills, Eun-ho could help him practice without feeling pressured. Besides, Ji Hyeon said that after practicing with Kwak Eun-ho, it definitely helped him to hold back his laughter in front of actors who were bad at acting (although it was ambiguous whether it was a compliment or an insult).
“You’re using harsh words again, again. I told you to cut down on the swearing?”
“Me? When did I swear? Darling, I didn’t swear. What are you talking about.”
Ji Hyeon widened his eyes and then smiled brightly. In the story, Min-hyuk was a man who put on a so-called ‘tough’ act in front of others, and only softened in front of Yoo-jin. He was hot-tempered and had a fiery personality, but he was also a hopeless romantic, which didn’t suit him.
“I’m really sorry. I won’t worry you again.”
“……Really?”
“Yeah, really.”
“Can you promise?”
“Should I pinky swear?”
Ji Hyeon, who answered right away, held out his pinky finger. Eun-ho didn’t even look at it and just casually hooked his finger around it. He was thinking to himself that he would have to wash his hands for a long time after filming this.
“Do you trust me?”
His smiling face was so bright. He didn’t know, but after it was actually aired, it was obvious that only this scene would be cut and uploaded everywhere. Along with comments like 「I hate hearing ‘Oppa’, but it sounds so good when Actor Ji says it ㅠㅠㅠ」.
“I don’t know, I’ve been betrayed by people I trusted more than once or twice.”
“Our Darling needs to have their foot kissed to heal it.”
“You’re so good with words.”
They were having such a sweet and romantic relationship. With a light feeling, Eun-ho turned the script to the next page. Eun-ho had read the script in advance, but he didn’t memorize all the scenes. The only parts he paid attention to were the battle scenes where he had to use his body a lot.
And the contents of the next page were like this.
「The two people look at each other. A strange atmosphere flows.
Min-hyuk ……
Yoo-jin ……
Silence. Min-hyuk’s smile gradually disappears.
Min-hyuk (Cautiously approaches Yoo-jin)
Yoo-jin (As if she had a premonition, slowly closes her eyes)
Min-hyuk (Presses his lips to Yoo-jin’s lips)
They are just touching lips.
After a long time, Min-hyuk takes his lips away.
Min-hyuk (Whispering) ……I love you.」
It was the kiss scene they had checked earlier. The only scene in the entire
‘I’ll just kill time here…’
Just like when they linked fingers earlier, Eun-ho took his eyes off the script, planning to just pretend. Ji Hyeon would probably say the next line on his own after a suitable amount of time had passed.
But the moment he turned his head, Eun-ho stopped moving, unable to even breathe.
“……”
“……”
Since when had they been this close? He definitely thought there was some distance between them, but Ji Hyeon’s face was too close. He probably looked at Eun-ho without much thought either, but the moment their eyes met, they both shut their mouths.
‘…It is in the script, though.’
The two people look at each other. A strange atmosphere flows. Eun-ho, who barely managed to recall that fact, blinked slowly. If Ji Hyeon was trying to get into character, he needed to accommodate him to some extent first.
As expected, following the direction, the smile disappeared from Ji Hyeon’s face. His uniquely pale eyes were fixed on Eun-ho. When was it? Like when their eyes met after wiping off his makeup earlier. Their gazes intertwined in the air, starting to take on a strange atmosphere.
“……”
Ah, even so, wasn’t this a bit strange?
It wasn’t the first time he’d seen Ji Hyeon at this distance. When he occasionally stood in as his scene partner, or when he removed something from his face, or even when he took out a hairpin, Eun-ho had approached him quite closely.
‘…No, this is farther than that.’
His exquisitely handsome features, as if drawn, captivated his gaze. His fluttering eyelashes, he couldn’t tell if it was acting or real. Ji Hyeon’s face slowly got closer, and even until the moment he lowered his eyes and tilted his head.
“……”
“……”
He realized too late that their lips had touched. By the time he came to his senses, a soft sensation had settled on his tightly closed lips. The fragrant scent of shampoo brushed the tip of his nose, and a warm heat was transmitted from their touching lips.
What was happening? That thought was fleeting. Eun-ho just blankly stared at Ji Hyeon, unable to push him away or move away. He felt so detached from reality that he even felt like his heart had stopped for a moment.
Then, the moment their touching lips parted,
“……!”
Thwack! Eun-ho, who reflexively threw a punch, jumped up from his seat. He heard a sound that seemed quite painful, but he didn’t have time to realize that. Eun-ho covered his mouth with one hand and took a deep breath that he had been holding in.
“Hah……”
He felt a burning sensation on the back of his neck. The sensation he had felt a moment ago, even though it was just a brief moment, was unforgettable. While neither Ji Hyeon nor Eun-ho could look at each other, Eun-ho was the first to speak.
“……Crazy bastard.”
Was this bastard really crazy?
They had practiced love scenes together, but they had never practiced kiss scenes. If a scene involving physical contact came up, they would just pretend to do it and move on. But what change of heart had he had in the meantime? Even if he was a practice partner, he had no obligation to do this.
“Do you think I’m a joke?”
“……”
“I’m gay, you fucker, do you think you can do this?”
He knew it was an excessive sense of victimhood. Given Ji Hyeon’s personality, he probably hadn’t thought that far ahead when he did it. He might have been caught up in the atmosphere, or there might have been another reason.
However, what was certain was that the kiss he had inadvertently given had touched Eun-ho’s sore spot.
“There’s a limit to how much you can look down on someone……”
Eun-ho was so careful not to upset Ji Hyeon that he was even wary of touching him. He was always secretly nervous when he had to touch him. But now, Ji Hyeon had brought his lips to his without any hesitation.
“Do I have to do this kind of thing while practicing the script?”
He was more angry at the embarrassing feeling. He felt like his feelings had been exposed, so he blurted out words as if a thief was caught red-handed. He was so frustrated that he had reacted to that brief contact that he couldn’t control the anger that surged up.
“You might be used to rubbing your mouths together as part of your job……”
“……”
“But I’m not.”
Ji Hyeon couldn’t say anything and just stared at Eun-ho with a blank look. More precisely, the moment he moved his lips to say something, Eun-ho wiped his lips with the back of his hand and turned his head.
“……You do the rest on your own.”
Ji Hyeon didn’t even have time to grab him. Eun-ho threw the script down and turned around, leaving the living room. His thumping footsteps seemed to show how angry he was.
“……”
Not long after, Bang! The sound of the front door closing was heard. Ji Hyeon, who had been blank until then, belatedly covered his mouth with the back of his hand and widened his eyes.
His face, filled with embarrassment, was flushed red all the way to his ears.
