Fortunately, the place where the production presentation was held was not far from his house, so he arrived in 30 minutes. He could tell which hall the presentation was being held without asking. The front of the screening hall was filled with fans waiting with gifts.
Choi Inseop cautiously cut through the crowd and walked forward.
“No entry except for those involved.”
At the entrance, an attendant in a black suit blocked Inseop.
“I’m Lee Wooyeon’s manager.”
After hearing what Inseop said, the host sneered.
“Really.”
“Seriously, go to bed and go when I’m telling you nicely.”
The host waved his hand, annoyed.
“Really. There is also a picture of us together…”
Inseop was browsing through the photo gallery on his cell phone, but was startled and turned off the screen. A picture of Lee Wooyeon holding him by the chin and forcing a kiss on the cheek appeared. When was it taken?
“Photo? Hahaha. There’s a bunch of people like you here. That woman over there is Lee Wooyeon’s aunt, but there’s Lee Wooyeon’s cousin.”
The women who were in the direction the host pointed to hurriedly turned their heads.
“I’m not lying.”
“If you are Lee Woo-yeon’s manager, then I am Lee Wooyeon’s older brother.”
No matter how well he looked at him, he couldn’t take Inseop seriously, who only looked like a freshman in college. He looked around, but there was no one he knew. Choi Inseop had no choice but to sit down in a corner with his shoulders drooping. He couldn’t even make a phone call to Lee Wooyeon, who was in the middle of a production presentation. Still, he sent a text message thinking that he should let him know that he has arrived.
“Ha.”
Inseop let out a sigh.
It was only then that he discovered that he was wearing mismatching socks. He came running without even drying his hair, and it was a mess. Inseop tried to put his hair back, but it was stretched out shortly after. Come to think of it, the jacket was also strangely crumpled. Looking at the condition of the clothes, it seemed that he had come wearing clothes that he had hung up to give to the dry cleaner.
“Why am I doing this…”
Mistakes that were not made before were often made. It seemed that the tension had been relieved. Thinking that he should stand up, Inseop put his hand in his pocket.
“What.”
Feeling something on his fingertips, Inseop took his hand out of his pocket.
What paper was it? Is it a receipt? All receipts were submitted to the office.
Inseop unintentionally opened the dotted paper, then widened his eyes. It was a note from Naima. To think he’d completely forgotten about this… he really was out of his mind.
“Why didn’t you come in?”
Hearing the voice from above, Inseop froze. Lee Wooyeon was looking down at Inseop.
“How.”
“My manager didn’t come in.”
“It’s during a presentation, how did you come out?”
“I came out after saying that I was watching the video. I have to go in.”
Lee Wooyeon sometimes showed affection like this casually. The way he speaks like a normal person. And each time, Inseop was so happy that he lost his mind. Heat rose in the face. Inseop lowered his gaze and muttered, “Go in quickly.”
Lee Wooyeon held out his hand. While Inseop hesitated, Lee Wooyeon grabbed In-seop’s hand and lifted him up from his seat. The place where Lee Wooyeon’s warmth touched became hot. Inseop secretly rubbed his sweaty palms on his pants.
“Isn’t it Lee Wooyeon?”
“OMG, it’s Lee Wooyeon. It’s the real deal.”
“Wooyeon Oppa! Oppa!”
Soon, people began to gather around to take pictures. Inseop quickly got up from his seat and stood in front of Lee Wooyeon.
“I’m sorry. I’ll ask you to take a picture later.”
It was good that he skillfully blocked people, but soon after, Inseop was pushed away by the force of people pushing. Lee Wooyeon, seeing Inseop pushed through the crowd like a sheet of paper, was annoyed. In his heart, he wanted to twist the heads of the people who were pushing Inseop away.
Lee Wooyeon pulled Inseop’s shoulders and hugged him.
“I’ll go in first.”
“I’ll go in first.”
He advanced, shouting and ripping through the crowd. The security who blocked Inseop earlier opened the blocking line with a perplexed face when he saw Inseop standing next to Lee Wooyeon. He apologized to Inseop.
“It’s okay.” ‘
Inseop bowed his head.
“Who said sorry to Inseop?”
Lee Wooyeon asked in a low voice.
“A while ago, I was trying to go in as Wooyeon’s manager…”
He could easily guess without listening to the rest of the story.
Lee Wooyeon’s lips loosened.
A baggy suit, youthful face, slightly frightened look, anyone could tell that he was a young student. Perhaps because he overslept, his hair was not properly styled, and his hair, which was swept to the side, added to his youthful impression.
“I don’t think I look like a manager.”
Inseop smiles timidly. Like a herbivore that disarmed opponents, his large eyes slightly bend and close. He had a pretty smile
“Uh, where are you going?”
“To the bathroom.”
As Lee Wooyeon strode forward, Inseop followed suit.
“I was late today…”
Before Inseop could finish his words, the sound of the door being locked rang out. Lee Wooyeon dragged the wide-eyed Inseop into the bathroom.
“Why the door…!”
Lee Wooyeon lowered his body to match. There was no time. Every time Inseop tried to say something, he changed the angle and pressed his lips together. Gradually, the strength of the body was released. Shortly thereafter, Inseop gasped for breath and ended up in Lee Wooyeon’s arms.
“Haa.”
Inseop let out a breath through slightly parted lips. Lee Wooyeon narrowed his eyes and smiled.
“Did you sleep well?”
He murmured, sucking lightly on Inseop’s lips.
“… sorry. When did I go to sleep last night?”
Inseop asked in embarrassment, unable to raise his head properly.
“About two o’clock.”
The call continued for about an hour after that. When Inseop raised his head in doubt, Lee Wooyeon answered.
“I didn’t know you were sleeping, so I kept reading”.”
“I’m sorry. What should I do if you’re tired?
Inseop made a worried face. Lee Wooyeon said, “yes,” and agreed softly. In fact, Lee Wooyeon has rarely felt physically tired even though he was still mentally on edge. CEO Kim praised Lee Wooyeon’s stamina as a gift from God at first, but these days he took it seriously. He dropped a booklet on the side effects of medicine in front of Lee Wooyeon, or told a story about a celebrity he knew who ruined his life by messing with something bad. It seemed that it was difficult to put Lee Wooyeon’s physical strength into the normal category based on his common sense.
“What time do you finish? Can I get you an energy drink?”
Despite experiencing his physical strength all night in bed several times, Inseop sincerely looked sorry.
Lee Wooyeon kissed Inseop’s eyes. Inseop slowly raised his head. At first, he couldn’t even raise his head as if he was ashamed of doing this, but lately, he’d been quite hesitant to make eye contact. Lee Wooyeon kissed again. Inseop opened his mouth and responds to his movements.
Lee Wooyeon gave strength to the arm that embraced Inseop and kissed him as if swallowing his lips.
No matter how many times he sucked, he liked these little lips. It was insanely good. The sound of his short breathing, the wet lips, and the twitching movements were so lovely that he couldn’t help it.
Lee Wooyeon muttered softly between kissing Insep, who was almost faint.
“I… why do you like me so much?”
His eyes had a mixture of confusion and burning lust, which he himself felt because he did not know the reason. Lee Wooyeon rubbed Inseop’s back. Inseop shook his body.
“If I’m going to tell you that I’m tired of you…”
Insep drew in a breath. Just imagining that such a day would come made his blood run cold. As if Lee Wooyeon had read Inseop’s fear, he continued by gently caressing his back.
“Slap me on the cheek and curse at me. I’m the only one who accepts a bastard like you, so come to your senses.”
“Yes?”
Inseop opened his eyes wide, unsure whether he was serious about the rather radical request, and asked again. That expression also stimulated the man’s lower parts.
Lee Woo-yeon kept kissing Inseop’s small lips, and demanded an answer.
“Yeah, I’ll do that.”
When Inseop nodded with a look of a once-in-a-lifetime resolution, Lee Wooyeon smiled with satisfaction. Lee Woo-yeon whispers as she hugs In-seop tightly without an inch of gap.
“As it is, shall we just go somewhere?”
It was an unrealistic statement.
“The lake we went to together was good, too. CEO Kim’s villa.”
Lee Wooyeon smiles as he recalled the past memories.
It was something he just had to listen to and laugh at. Nevertheless, Inseop found himself thrilled like a child.
“… You should go in.”
No matter how much the video was played, the main character must not be away. It was the law.
“I have to go.”
Even while saying that, Lee Wooyeon did not release his grip on his hand.
“Go in quickly.”
After Inseop urged him once more, Lee Wooyeon let go. Lee Wooyeon, who was about to leave the bathroom, turned around as if he remembered something.
“What is that?”
As if to say something, Inseop blinked his eyes.
“This.”
Lee Wooyeon took the paper from Inseop’s hand and opened it. Inseop was surprised and took the paper back. He was startled earlier and forgot to put the paper in his pocket.
“Oh, this:”
Inseop’s mind was all over the place.
He could be honest and hand over the phone number Naima gave him.
But, obviously…
Why give it now, what was he going to do with so much jealousy, he can’t even hand over a piece of paper to someone who won’t even care, etc. Lee Wooyeon’s sarcastic teasing seems to be vivid in his ears. So far, the agency has not announced an official position regarding the dating rumors. Today’s presentation was also a gathering of reporters, so Lee Wooyeon will not be able to avoid questions about the dating rumors. He shouldn’t create any problems.
He’d rather say that he received it. He’ll believe it too. This man also has two eyes.
“…it’s nothing.”
Inseop closed his eyes and replied. Even though he knew that he was cowardly, he chose to avoid it. His heart raced. Lee Wooyeon gazed at him and his cheek tingled. It looked as if the note would be snatched away at any moment and he would be terribly threatened. Shall he apologize for that?
“I know.”
“Yes?”
“It’s nothing.”
Inseop widened his eyes and looked up at Lee Wooyeon. As a former stalker of Lee Wooyeon and current lover of Lee Wooyeon, he prided himself for knowing enough about him, but this kind of reaction was not expected at all.
“If Mr. Inseop says it’s nothing, then it must be nothing.”
“… Yes”
He was deceiving Lee Wooyeon, and his conscience was pricked, and he was so sorry that he felt like dying.
“You won’t throw it away?”
“Yes?”
“It’s nothing.”
Inseop had no choice but to throw the paper he was crumpling in his hand into the trash can.
“Then I’ll go in.”
“Yes. All right.”
“Inseop, count to thirty and come out. Because I don’t want to show your sexy face to anyone right now.”
Lee Wooyeon smiled and opened the bathroom door and left. Inseop sighed and looked at the note in the trash.
“I’m sorry…I couldn’t tell you.”
As he was about to leave, he remembered what Lee Wooyeon had said and walked to the sink.
He didn’t know what Lee Wooyeon meant by sexy face, so he looked into the mirror for a while. Maybe it was because of his hair style, he just looked more sophisticated than usual. He washed his face with cold water. His wet face was reflected in the mirror.
“Were you just kidding me?”
The odds of that were slim. Still, as Lee Wooyeon had said, Inseop started counting in his mind. At twenty-two, the bathroom door opened.
“Fuck, who the fuck locked the door. It’s annoying.”
The harsh, swearing voice was familiar to his ears. When he looked up, their eyes met through the mirror. It felt like his blood was running cold.
“uUh. You.”
It seemed that he recognized Inseop as well, so he immediately pretended to know. Inseop quickly bowed at a 90 degree angle.
“Hello.”
“Your greeting will freeze me to death. But what are you doing here?”
It was Kang Youngmo. Celebrities who are friends with the main actors were invited to the production presentation. Who the hell was friendly enough to invite this person? Inseop broke into a cold sweat and answered calmly.
“I’m here for Lee Wooyeon’s production presentation.”
“Eh? What about Cha-cha-cha?”
Cha cha cha was the nickname of Chief Cha.
“Chief Cha is hospitalized due to an accident. I’m taking his place temporarily.”
“Oh my. If Lee Woo-yeon is by your side, you should buy everything. Isn’t it really creepy? If you don’t want to be left behind, then quit your job.”
“…Then I’ll be on my way.”
Inseop bowed his head again. He didn’t want to have a long conversation with Kang Youngmo.
“Hey, but are Chae Yeonseo and Lee Wooyeon really dating?”
The smirking laugh made him feel bad.
“I have nothing to say about the actor’s private life.”
“Why don’t you have anything to say? You are close with Lee Wooyeon. I heard he changes his manager often because he has a foul temper. Cha-cha-cha is going to follow CEO Kim, so even if you say you’re in charge, you’re not.”
Kang Youngmo lit a cigarette. Cigarette smoke soon filled the bathroom. Even though there was a sign saying no smoking, Kang Youngmo didn’t seem to care at all.
“How much do you get from your company?”
“Yes?”
“How much do you get? Do you get a lot of money?”
“I get it in moderation.”
Inseop was taken aback by the money talk without context.
“How much? Two hundred? Three hundred?”
Kang Youngmo asked, spitting cigarette smoke in Inseop’s face. Inseop covered his nose with his hand.
“You’re a grown man, so where are you arrogantly covering your nose?”
“I’m sorry.”
“You, too, are struggling to make money as a child.”
At first glance, he sounded worried, but since he knew Kang Youngmo, his words did not sway him.
“Don’t get pennies there, come and work for our company. I’ll tell them to give you plenty of money.
“I will only be grateful.”
“Don’t just take heart, tell me anytime if you need money. huh? In the meantime, get along with Lee Woo-yeon.”
It was an outright conciliation to bring him Lee Wooyeon’s weakness. He didn’t even want to answer. Inseop just lowered his head and passed Kang Youngmo.
“Isn’t it strange that Lee Wooyeon came in here earlier and waited for a while before coming out? Oh, did he lock the bathroom door and play with you here?”
It was thoughtlessly thrown toilet humor. The problem was that Inseop did not respond appropriately. Seeing Inseop blush, Kang Youngmo raised his eyebrows and said, “Oh!”
“What? Did he really stick it in? Is Chae Yeonseo a shield?”
“It’s not like that.”
He shouldn’t react. He regretted it, but to no avail. Kang Youngmo put on an interesting face and grabbed Inseop’s arm.
“Come to think of it, Lee Wooyeon was covering you strangely. Ha ha ha, that’s interesting. If I dig a little bit, I’ll find something out.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. It’s late, so I’ll go in first.”
Inseop, who plucked up the courage, resolutely let go of Kang Youngmo’s hand. An unpleasant laughter was heard from behind, but Inseop did not look back and went straight into the theater where the production presentation was being held.
The director and cast members were in the process of commenting on the work in turn. Inseop took a seat in the corner and sat down. He broke out in a cold sweat and his heart pounded.
‘Okay. It will be fine. Kang Youngmo used to throw similar jokes before. Stop and just ignore it.’
The eyes of Kang Youngmo, who was lying bleeding in the back alley, and Lee Wooyeon, who was looking down at him expressionlessly, came to mind. Inseop shook his head. He didn’t have to make things that will cause the two of them to run into each other again. The company also said they would never overlap with Kang Youngmo after that. If today ends safely, they will never see each other again.
He thought so in his head, but he didn’t feel good. A bottomless, ominous feeling that he was about to lose Lee Wooyeon, whom he loved, wrapped around his whole body. His body shuddered. Inseop looked up at the stage. After the comments, it was the turn of each to ask questions. After the lead actress sequence was over, Lee Wooyeon was handed the microphone. The sound of the camera flashes rang out. It must have been blinding, but Lee Wooyeon stood in front of the flash undisturbed. He was a natural-born actor. “Please ask me questions related to the movie.”
“Lee Wooyeon played the role of Kim Sehyeon, the main character who loses his loved one in front of his eyes and throws everything away for revenge in this movie. How was it?”
“Every time I shoot a movie, I think a lot about the role, and I worry about what it would be like if I were that person. In that sense, this role was particularly difficult. The happy scenes were all in the first five minutes.”
Laughter flowed from the reporters.
“Can I interpret that to mean that Lee Wooyeon has a precious person?”
It’s a movie premier, and it was the only question that every reporter here wanted to ask.
“Do you have only one person dear to you? Haha.”
Lee Wooyeon smiled softly and defended.
“Still, I’ve heard good news lately. How about it? If you could explain this movie to them?”
“I know everyone is curious, but today is the day of the film production presentation. I would appreciate it if you set aside a seat for personal questions.”
The reporter watching the moderator skillfully blocked the question. Lee Wooyeon was fine.
“It’s okay,” he smiled at the reporter.
“When I’m filming a movie, there are works that my heart goes to without even realizing it. I don’t know why, but it’s something that makes you think about it once more, and it’s something that touches my heart.”
Even among celebrities, so-called ‘celebrities’ existed. .
“For me, this movie “Lovers” was that kind of work. I liked it, but I hope that person likes it too.”
Flashes erupted with cheers of waaah among the reporters.
Lee Wooyeon, who wore a dark gray suit and had his hair turned over with pomade, was a celebrity himself. It was to the point where the presence of the other actors standing next to him was blurred.
On the stage, Lee Wooyeon’s eyes met his.
After receiving the script for the movie <Lovers>, Lee Wooyeon showed the script to Inseop first. He was a new director. The screenplay was also the work of the director. Although not uncommon, the risk doubled for rookies. It was a combination that investors did not like.
Choi Inseop read the script all night and carefully recommended Lee Woo-yeon to appear in the movie. He liked it, and he hoped Lee Wooyeon did too. Handing over the script, Inseop said so.
“Are you going to invite them to the premiere?”
“Yes. If they have time
Lee Wooyeon looked at Inseop and replied. He thought he should turn his head, but Inseop couldn’t move.
‘If this movie fails, Mr. Inseop will be held responsible. Take responsibility and let’s go to the premiere together?’
On the phone call during the middle of filming, Lee Wooyeon said in a grumbling tone.
Inseop blinked his eyes slowly.
Several emotions crossed. A sharp pain came through his chest. He was happy that such a radiant person liked him, and he was so happy that he couldn’t believe it, and he was afraid that all of this would end when he opened his eyes one day.
And above all.
Kang Youngmo, who was looking his way from afar, met his eyes. The fact that he shouldn’t let anyone know about this happiness he had was scary.
It reminded him of Lee Wooyeon that day when he laughed with blood spattered on his pale skin. He remembered the voice of the man who said that most of the work was intentional.
Inseop gave strength to the hand that was holding the hem of his dress.
He didn’t want to lose Lee Wooyeon.
