[At the hotel lobby. I’ll come up soon!]
After sending a text message, the reply arrived right away.
[Yes! Okay.]
It seemed that Inseop’s urgent voice could be heard in the text message. Lee Wooyeon had arrived at the hotel early. He sent a text message shortly after confirming that Inseop had entered the elevator.
Lee Wooyeon got into the elevator and pressed the floor of the room with his card.
He doesn’t want to live here.
If he’s homesick, it was okay for him to take a few flights to the United States, but this was a completely different matter. It was also something he hadn’t even thought about.
Lee Wooyeon crossed his arms and tapped the other arm with his fingers. It reminded him of what Manager Cha said about how anxious he would be if the other person was him. That wasn’t entirely wrong. If he thinks about it, even he would not believe himself.
Would you rather stay together in the US for a while? ..no.
Lee Wooyeon clicked his tongue.
It was a good way to overcome Inseop’s anxiety, but it was also the most dangerous way. Filled with love, Inseop’s family was useless to the point of being wonderful. Inseop, a childish and lonely person, had to limit himself to the only person he could rely on. In this situation, if he lets him meet his family, it could be an opportunity for him to settle down in the United States.
Then what should he do?
Suddenly, the elevator arrived at the floor. Even as he walked down the hallway, Lee Wooyeon kept trying to figure out the thoughts in his head, but no answer came. He felt shitty. When he opened the door with the card key and went in, he was startled and saw Inseop sitting on the sofa from the back.
“I’m here.”
Lee Wooyeon deliberately announced his presence out loud.
“Ah. You came?”
Inseop’s clothes were neatly folded on the table.
“They brought me the laundry earlier.”
When Lee Wooyeon gazed at the clothes, Choi Inseop muttered something like an excuse. He had told them not to bring in the laundry until he asked for it. He didn’t know that Inseop, who always hid even when he ordered a meal through room service, would call and ask for laundry.
Sometimes he’s uselessly good at acting. It’s annoying.
Lee Wooyeon tilted his head and looked at Inseop, then stretched out his hand.
“…!”
“Why are you dressed like this? You’ll catch a cold.”
Inseop hadn’t even properly adjusted the hem of his bathrobe, as if he had changed his clothes in a hurry when he heard Lee Wooyeon was coming.
“I’m sorry.”
When Lee Wooyeon meticulously tied the laces of his gown, Inseop was nervous and did not know what to do.
“What is that?”
“What is it?”
Wooyeon pointed at his feet. It was only then that Inseop realized that he hadn’t taken off his socks.
“Ah, I, I put on my socks because my feet were cold…”
If he entered a lying contest, he would be eliminated without even reaching the threshold of the preliminary round. Lee Wooyeon looked at Inseop blankly and then hugged him.
“We-We have to leave now. It’s almost time to check-out.”
“It’s okay. We can do a late check-out.”
Lee Wooyeon held Inseop in his arms and took him to bed. Then, without saying a word, he hugged Inseop and buried his face in his chest. Acting uncharacteristically for Lee Wooyeon, Inseop said,
“Hey, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing.”
Inseop hesitantly stroked Lee Wooyeon’s hair
Having watched and experienced Lee Wooyeon’s stamina from the side, the person who knew the best was Choi Inseop. Even so, Inseop worried about Lee Wooyeon without a doubt when he said that it was difficult.
He doesn’t even remember hearing his mother ask him where it hurts. Even though he knew what a terrible monster Lee Wooyeon was, Inseop hugged him without hesitation every time.
“I? must be a bit tired.”
“Shouldn’t you take some medicine? Shall we go to the hospital?”
“I think I’ll be okay if I do this.”
Lee Wooyeon held Inseop’s arm tighter. Inseop looked at Lee Wooyeon’s face and looked worried. Lee Wooyeon called him in a low voice, “Inseop.” Inseop patted Lee Wooyeon’s head with a careful touch, as if dealing with a fragile artifact.
“Let me know if it hurts a lot. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Lee Wooyeon nodded.
At that time, Inseop’s socks, which were worn unevenly, caught his eye. The irritation, which had been so intense, was all at once relieved. There was a laugh.
“Shall we continue what we were talking about?”
“What are you talking about?”
“We decided to finish talking about how much I like Inseop.”
“Uhm, did we?”
“Actually, I hate it when someone touches my hair.”
Inseop’s hand, which was stroking his head, paused. Lee Wooyeon put his head in Inseop’s hand as if asking him to continue.
“…you said you didn’t like it.”
“I don’t like anyone else. So keep… touching me.”
Inseop moved his hand back and swept Lee Wooyeon’s hair.
Lee Wooyeon closed his eyes while hugging Inseop’s waist. He was not sure if his feelings were the love that ordinary people felt. No one can guarantee that this feeling will last forever.
But one thing was for sure.
“Inseop”.
Inseop answered yes to Lee Wooyeon’s call.
“Where did you put your passport?””
He can never let someone else touch his hair.
Never.
???
“Did you bring your passport?”
“Yes, I did.”
Inseop took out the brown envelope and held it out.
“What about your ID?”
“I put it all in there.”
Lee Woo-yeon asked for his passport and ID card under the pretext that he might go to overseas photo shoots soon.
“Let me know if you need any other documents. I’ll get it ready.”
Lee Wooyeon smiled softly, facing his clear eyes. Inseop was a person who would give up his heart if Lee Wooyeon said he needed it. No, he’d add that he should be careful not to fall down while giving his heart.
“If you need any documents, I’ll tell you then.”
Lee Wooyeon thought that he should keep the document envelope handed over by Inseop in the safe for the time being.
“Then I’ll start.”
Inseop turned the steering wheel. Today was not an official schedule, so he drove Lee Wooyeon’s car without using the bus. Sitting in the passenger seat, Lee Wooyeon leaned by the window and stared at Inseop.
“Is something wrong?”
“I’m looking at you. Can’t I do that?”
“Don’t say that outside…”
“It’s not outside. It’s just in the car. Who’s watching?”
“You should always be careful. Just in case.”
Inseop closed his lips and made a serious look. Lee Wooyeon thought that the scandal with him seemed to play a role in Inseop’s anxiety and stress.
“Okay. I’ll do as Inseop says.”
Inseop glanced curiously at Lee Wooyeon, who answered calmly unlike usual.
“Why?”
This time, Lee Wooyeon asked.
“No. Are you still tired?”
Lee Wooyeon burst into laughter.
Shit. He’s so cute.
“I’m not tired.”
Lee Wooyeon smiled happily as he immediately stopped the car and swallowed his desire to put his cock between Inseop’s crotch.
“I’m glad. I was worried a lot,”
Inseop changed lanes by checking the rearview mirror.
“Oh, I’m so happy when Inseop worries about me.”
Lee Wooyeon leaned his head on the passenger seat and said.
“It’s better not to worry.”
He pretended to be serious, but Inseop’s red neck was seen through his shirt. He put his finger between his shirt and neck and asked if it was hot.
“It’s all right. It’s dangerous while driving, so don’t mess around,”
Inseop said, quickly adjusting his shirt collar. Lee Wooyeon withdrew his hand while he was trying to tell him that he was joking. He folded his arms and closed his eyes.
“Do you want me to wake you up when I arrive?”
“I’m not sleeping”.
Lee Wooyeon answered with his eyes open.
“Go to sleep. What if you’re tired again? You have two schedules today.”
If an actor did not have work, there was no schedule enough to call it a break period. However, when he entered a production or a movie was shown, he would be very busy.
“It’s like having two interviews
“Have you read the expected question I sent you yesterday?”
Inseop e-mailed Lee Wooyeon with an interpretation of the movie and an explanation of the character in detail enough to write a thesis. Lee Wooyeon smiled silently at the manager’s sincerity.
It was surprising to see Inseop believing that the interviewers would be genuinely curious about it. The question to be asked today was obvious. ‘How did you meet Chae Yeon-seo, how did you go out with her, and a word to her.’
“Yes, I’ve read it. It’ll help you a lot.”
“I hope so. Take a nap. I’ll wake you up in 20 minutes.”
He couldn’t sleep, but when Inseop told him to, Lee Wooyeon closed his eyes again. Twenty minutes later, when he arrived at a cafe in Pangyo, Inseop stopped the car.
“We’ve arrived.”
Lee Wooyeon deliberately didn’t open his eyes because he liked the way he gently shook him.
“We’re here, Mr. Wooyeon.… Are you sleeping?”
“Yes, I’m sleeping.”
Lee Wooyeon answered with his eyes closed. Lee Wooyeon opened his eyes while Inseop was thinking about how to respond to his pranks.
“Don’t you know how to wake up Sleeping Beauty?””
“… If you’re awake, hurry up and go.”
Although Beauty was a noun referring to women, Inseop thought that it was not unreasonable to attach it to Lee Wooyeon. Lee Wooyeon laughed and removed his safety belt. As he was leaving the car, he turned his head when Inseop did not move.
“Don’t you want to go with me?”
“I’ll wait in the car.”
“Wait inside the cafe. Why wait in the car? It’s difficult.”
“It’s all right. Hurry up and come back.”
Again.
Even though he knew Inseop drew a subtle line, Lee Wooyeon doesn’t say anything.
He nodded.
“Call me if you have something to do.”
“Yes.”
Lee Wooyeon closed the car door and disappeared.
