Chapter 308 – Lick It Up

He changed into plain clothes like jeans and a gray hoodie, and even put on makeup. She said that only her back and her hands came out, but since she was wearing makeup, I thought it was strange.

After putting on my makeup first, I came out and looked around at the busily moving staff. Inside, I found Minah talking to the director and walked away.

“It’s Minah.”

“So this is it, okay?”

She stopped talking to the director and looked at me with her acting face.

“What’s going on, Jiheon?”

“No, didn’t I say that only the hands and the back were shown? Why are you wearing makeup?”

“Ah, that’s it.”

It was the director who answered.

“I signed a contract like that, but I think the face should come out to some extent. But it’s not the front, it’s the side view, can’t we?”

Enough of that, what.

“All right. But if that’s the case, please let me know in advance.”

“Thank you. Because this sort of thing happens often. I forgot it was the first time.”

“No.”

“Thank you. Then wait a moment until the other model comes out.”

“Ah yes.”

“…”

While I was talking with the director, Minah forgot to act and she just stared at me. Then, as soon as she finished the conversation, she asked.

“Jiheon.”

“Yes?”

“Why don’t you wear makeup on a regular basis?”

“Uh, why? Matches well?”

“Yes, very much.”

As Mina said that, she looked at me, and she laughed along with me. She was a bit shy, and above all, I could feel her feelings for me in her eyes.

“Could you please move aside?”

She forgot the director who was next to her. Remembering its existence, I hurriedly apologized.

“Oh, sorry.”

“No. Chae is a person who deserves it. A man in his 40s like me might forget.”

He acted as if he didn’t exist, and his tone was slightly sulky. It didn’t look like he was offended though, so Mina and I laughed lightly and apologized.

“Sorry.”

“I’m sorry too, Director.”

“Are you okay.”

Nodding lightly, he looked at me with his face with the corners of his mouth raised.

“Excuse me, but can I talk to the boss? Because of work.”

“Ah yes. It works. Sorry to disturb you.”

“Are you okay. You came to ask about work in the first place. Are you okay. And there’s a chair over there.”

As the director said, he reached out his hand somewhere on the set. He said, pointing to the chairs lined up in front of the brightly lit set.

“Would you like to sit down over there and wait a minute? Until we start filming.”

“Yes.”

Simply nodding her head, I spoke to Mina before going.

“Minah, I’m going. See you later.”

“Yes.”

Contrary to what she said, Mina, who replied that she knew, raised her arm and held her hand.

“Uh? What’s the matter?”

“Wait.”

She squeezed my hand as if savoring her touch. Then she looked down at me with a soft smile, and I noticed that that face was full of sincerity.

“… Hey?”

“Ah.”

I also forgot that the director was there. It was regrettable, but the two of us let go and apologized again.

“Sorry, this happened again.”

“I will be careful, Director.”

“It’s okay, really. By the way, are you two going to get married?”

“Sure.”

Minah answered confidently, and I also nodded her head.

“Ah, that’s right. You said you were married.”

But seeing us like that, the director smiled meaningfully.

“Then, you should have a lot of fun now. Yes. It’s a good time.”

“What is that…”

“Well, I’m just talking to myself. Hey, did you say your name was Jiheon? Please sit in a chair and wait. I’ll call you when filming begins.”

He evaded his words and pointed again to the chair he had been told to wait for earlier. I wondered what it meant, but when I saw Minah saying it was okay, I headed to her waiting room.

The chair I was told to sit on was a fishing chair. He sat on an iron frame that could also be used outdoors and on a sturdy cloth that replaced a cushion.

I took out my smartphone from the pocket of my hoodie and watched YouTube while waiting for the filming to start. I was about to watch one video and move on to the next one when I heard a familiar voice.

“Were you here?”

“Are you done?”

Thinking that the demon king had come, I turned my head to the side casually. At that moment, I was able to realize that Mina had been blindly watching the day she put on her makeup.

“Uh.”

The outfit was not much different from when I usually went out. It was about the extent of changing from a green tracksuit to a dark navy blue one.

But the face was different. Her spotless white face gleamed softly, and her blue eyes reminded her of the Mediterranean. The lips also added a healthy beauty and were so attractive that I thought I wanted to kiss them unintentionally.

I hurriedly turned my head away as my head became hot without my knowledge.

“Hoo?”

There was no way the demon king could not see my reaction. My vision of her glance saw her approaching with a playful smile.

“Hey, why?”

“What, what. What am i

“Why can’t you look at Jim like that, I mean.”

“When did I not look at you?”

“Did you say that?”

She said in a mischievous voice and sat down next to me. Then, dragging the chair she was sitting on, she came right next to her. They came so close that the armrests of her chairs were pressed against each other.

“You.”

The demon king called me from a seat so close that I could feel his breath.

“You. Jim is calling.”

I was distracted by the sound of her whispering voice. Every time her breath exhaled by the demon king tickled my cheek, that part seemed to heat up, and her smile was reminiscent of her, and her mind was complicated.

“Jim is calling, so are you going to just ignore it?”

Even in the midst of that, she was excited and focused on teasing me. I suddenly became very shy and muttered in a sinking voice that my heart would explode if I got any closer.

“What, when did I ignore you…”

“Are you ignoring me now?”

“Oh, no… ?”

“Right. Are you doing this while getting hit?”

Took

The still-excited demon king lightly hit me with his elbow. This shock, which was only a slight touch, came as a bigger shock than a hard blow with her fist.

“Or should I be right so I won’t ignore it?”

No! That doesn’t mean hit hard!

Seeing him raise his fist, he hurriedly turned his head and shouted.

“Oh no! I won’t ignore you!”

“Ah, something.”

Seeing me urgently shouting, the demon king made a disappointed expression. He lowered his fist, which seemed ready to strike at any moment, and spoke with a slight pity.

“I wanted to see more of your moe moe expression.”

“Uh? What is that?”

“Your face was ashamed when you saw your luggage.”

“… You’re really a year older than me, right?”

“Even with a one year age difference, isn’t there a big difference in physical strength?”

The demon king, who spoke terrifyingly as if he were acting, clenched his fist.

“Do you want to experience it with your body?”

More than half of it was a joke, but less than half of it was serious. I laughed shamelessly and clenched her fist as it slowly rose.

“No, I’m just asking. But it’s always embarrassing, yes.”

“Noisy.”

The Demon King took his fist out of my hand and hit my forearm with it.

Puck

“Ah, a little.”

Of course, it was only a century that could only be heard. She didn’t even hurt, but I protested against her by stroking the area where she had been hit.

“Don’t hit me. Violently.”

“Noisy. Shut up if you don’t want another shot.”

“…”

“Do you really want to shut up?”

“You said to shut up?”

I smiled and put down the hand I was stroking and leaned my upper body on the back of the chair. At the same time, stretching out both arms, stretched out and asked the demon king.

“Hey.”

“Hmm.”

“Don’t you have something to ask me?”

“Um, I don’t know.”

“Lets think. There will be one.”

“You…”

Her words clouded over, and she frowned and pondered. Then she asked, as if shouting at me with a bright face, saying that it must be the correct answer.

“You! Didn’t you come out of her room without turning off the gas?”

“It’s an induction in my room.”

“Hmm? So, what did Jim open earlier?”

“?!”

What the hell did you do to my bedroom! No, wait.

“You didn’t come to my room today.”

“Ha ha, it was! Jim’s mistake!”

The Demon King winked at me and hit himself on the head, just like in the cartoon. He laughed because he was so cute that he openly copied the cartoon character.

“Oh really.”

I wondered if it was okay to be this cute, so I lightly reprimanded the demon king. So, she lightly glanced at her and told her what the question was.

“I should have asked if you were pretty.”

Haha! That’s it!”

My words made the demon king laugh happily. Then she nodded and continued her speech.

“Okay! Then ask! What about Jim’s makeup?”

“Pretty.”

“Did you know you would say that?”

Even as she said she knew, she laughed from ear to ear. Seeing that, I laughed along and asked.

“What. Why are you laughing when you know that?”

“That’s a cliché!”

The demon king and I laughed and chatted with each other while waiting for the filming to begin.

“Sister, brother, you know what? Is there always something to eat on set?”

Until Se-hee came with a cookie in her hand.

“Uh, hey.”

“You.”

We asked with the same mind while watching her eat her sweets on her palm.

“You should have said that sooner.”

“Where are you? Where are you?”

We asked and got up so we could go right away. Seeing this, Se-hee munched her mouth with the snack in it and gestured towards one side of the set.

“Hey.”

There was a table where he pointed, and the cookies piled on it caught his eye.

“Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

The demon king and I became one and tried to walk to the table. Before that, Se-hee handed the chocolate snack in her hand to the demon king.

“Sister, there is only one of these left. I brought it for my sister.”

“Thank you, Sehee. Ha!”

“Hey! Do you eat it all at once!”

Honestly, I thought I would split it in half. However, the Demon King ate it all by himself, befitting his nickname, and I asked Se-hee with a small hope.

“Is there another one?”

“That was the last one.”

“Really? Was that really the end?”

“If you want to eat well, come here.”

“Thank you?”

Se-hee held out her hand as if to eat. However, there were only traces of melted chocolate on his white palms.

“Lick it.”

“Hey!”
