Chapter 106 – First Shooting (2)

“All you have to do is look at me with a slightly vain yet wistful gaze, since you are so good…”

I just slightly raised the corners of my mouth and smiled at Director Kang, who was ordering me to act in a strangely condescending manner.

… I’m annoyed.

The reason why he takes such a low stance is probably because of the debt he owes me.

I didn’t like Director Kang’s servile behavior or his oddly grown beard as if he was suffering from artist’s disease.

Director Kang, who had been explaining intently, looked at me and quickly returned to his seat.

I glanced at him and then turned my gaze to look at Kim Cho-in sitting across from me.

He was giving answers to Hyeon Ha-yeon, who was smiling and making fun of her.

A few days ago, I remembered Kim Cho-in confidently explaining things to Hyeon Ha-yeon in a way that she understood well.

… It’s so absurd…

I laughed briefly and sat down.

Still, it didn’t seem like Hyeon Ha-yeon smiled or received any skinship, perhaps because the ‘education’ had been worthwhile.

If that were the case, filming would have ended here.

“Shoot in! One two…”

Everyone outside the angle held their breath and stopped moving.

As I always did, I held my breath for a moment and waited for Director Kang’s voice.

“Action!”

At the same time as the cue sign announcing the start, the extras make a small noise.

I positioned my face to look as natural as possible.

Among the many people filling this large lecture hall, I looked at the two men and women sitting directly opposite me.

A friendly atmosphere, as if the two were in a different space.

At that time, Hyeon Ha-yeon picked up a pen and started scribbling small notes in her notebook.

Just like what Choin and I did.

… What a bitch.

I cursed under my breath and looked at them until they signed.

She naturally raised her arms, changed her posture, and slowly shifted her gaze to look at Kim Cho-in.

I always knew he was handsome, but seeing him really dressed up made me feel uneasy.

Kim Cho-in…, My man is a little stupid, but kind and considerate.

My foolish love that only knows me.

The owner of my body, my lifelong companion…

Just as I taught, the corner of my mouth moved just a little without me knowing as I tried not to touch Hyeon Ha-yeon in the slightest.

I stared at him in fascination, forgetting that I was acting.

He looked at Hyeon Ha-yeon’s cunning prank and burst into laughter.

… Huh?

The moment a small smile appeared on Choin Kim’s face, his heart sank.

Kim Cho-in, perhaps knowing how I felt, took the pen that Hyeon Ha-yeon had been using with a faint smile and began to scribble small notes, just like Hyeon Ha-yeon had done.

I blinked and looked at them, wondering if I was looking at them wrongly, but this time they were clapping their hands together and smiling.

Out of embarrassment, my gaze began to tremble a little.

… Something, something is wrong…, How could Kim Cho-in…, Can you smile at that bitch?

I almost got so shaken up that I forgot I was filming, but I was finally able to come to my senses when I heard Director Kang’s sign signaling the end.

I wanted to grab Kim Cho-in and check right away, but I couldn’t do anything about the close-up shooting that immediately followed.

… Probably not, I must have been wrong…

You may have just heard a funny story and laughed.

… Yes, that’s right.

I tried to rationalize it, took my posture as ordered, and looked in his direction.

After finishing filming, Kim Cho-in looked at me slightly away from Hyeon Ha-yeon, as if he had been like that for some time.

If it was far, it was far. If it was close, it was close. The gaze he gave me contained a slight fever, and it seemed to melt my cold heart.

… Of course, I guess I was wrong.

Kim Cho-in cannot smile sincerely at a woman who is not himself… That was natural.

Because I touched it like that.

I secretly exchanged glances with Kim Cho-in, who was looking at me from the other side, calming my startled heart and concentrating on my acting.

*

If…, Maybe I’m sick.

My heart was pounding non-stop, and no matter how I looked at it, it looked like I was in pain.

As I was moving to the filming location after finishing filming in the classroom, Jiyeon Lee grabbed me and dragged me into her car, saying she had left something behind.

I followed her without her suspecting anything, and Jiyeon Lee got into her car and pulled me over.

Suddenly, when I got into her car, Jiyeon Lee closed the door and immediately crashed into her lips.

To her confusion, I asked her why she did that…

“… Quickly, hug me and tell me you love me.”

She was embarrassed by the sudden request, but since Jiyeon Lee wanted to do it, she had no choice but to do it.

I held her tight until she was satisfied and only then was I able to release her.

Jiyeon Lee, who was holding me, gently stroked her head, and her touch was strangely cool, making me feel refreshed.

When she got dressed appropriately and returned to the scene, preparations for filming were still in full swing.

While Lee Ji-yeon was listening to Director Kang explain the next scene, Hyeon Ha-yeon sneakily approached her and started talking.

“… “Oppa, where have you been?”

She was slightly annoyed by Hyeon Hayeon’s vague question, but she tried her best to answer as if nothing had happened.

“… Jiyeon said she left something behind, so she went to the car.”

She ate a little bit, but it wasn’t a lie.

Hyeon Hayeon, who was standing next to her, slightly peeked out her face and looked up at me, slightly covering the corner of her mouth and whispering softly.

“… “Oppa, there was lipstick on the corner of her mouth.”

“Huh?”

She was startled and reflexively covered her mouth.

Hyeon Hayeon, who was watching my actions, said quietly with a smile on her face.

“… “Oppa, what have you been doing?”

“… Huh?”

I was agitated by Hyeon Hayeon’s gaze staring at me and rolled her eyes here and there, and Hyeon Hayeon gently pulled on my collar and whispered.

“… “Come here.”

“Now, just a moment…”

The place Hyeon Ha-yeon was taken to was behind an unoccupied temporary dressing room.

There were no people walking around, but there were a lot of people busy moving around.

Hyeon Hayeon, who had cornered me, looked at me with her arms crossed.

It was already a tight-fitting dress that made her breasts stand out, but with her arms crossed, my attention was drawn to her without realizing it.

The moment I swallowed my saliva without realizing it, Hyeon Ha-yeon slowly approached me and spoke to me.

“… “Oppa, why can’t you tell me what you’re doing here?”

The distance was close enough that the faint scent of cosmetics coming from her tickled the tip of her nose.

“… Well, really, just something…”

I brought you something. I tried to say it, but her mouth wouldn’t open.

Hyeon Hayeon’s eyes were so unusual that it was difficult for her to say anything.

… Uh? It’s so close? What should Jiyeon do?

Maybe it was because of her previous memories, but even though she just closed her mouth and stared at me, the dark memories crept up on her and confused her mind.

“No, that’s…”

At the moment when I was torn between whether to tell the truth openly or hide the truth, Hyeon Ha-yeon grabbed my hand and whispered.

“… Brother, why are you lying again…, Huh?”

The moment her hands touched, I felt goosebumps all over her body as if she was electrified, and I tried to shake off her hand, but she came one step closer and stopped my action.

Her beautifully curved breasts were so close to my body that they were slightly pressing on me, so I couldn’t breathe, and my hands were shaking.

Hyeon Hayeon’s memories and Lee Ji-yeon’s memories collided as if she was having a seizure in her head.

“Ah…, Ugh…”

My head hurt as if it was going to explode, and I let out a painful groan and closed my eyes, and the sensations that were touching my body slowly disappeared.

Only after the soft touch disappeared did it feel like the weight that had been weighing down my lungs was disappearing.

“Huh, hah…, Ha…”

Breathing heavily, I carefully opened my eyes to see Hyeon Ha-yeon fiddling with my hand and smiling faintly.

As I was watching her actions because my head was blank, she said, pressing my hand as if Hyeon Hayeon was giving her a massage.

“… “Oppa, I like you, but you shouldn’t lie.”

“… Ugh, yes.”

Without realizing it, I obediently agreed to Hyeon Ha-yeon’s words and felt her touch.

“… Now, the other hand too.”

… Something, something strange…

Before I realized the strangeness of the situation, she hit her head first.

“Come on, you were trying to hide something from me, hurry up.”

“… Uh, uh…”

Suddenly, it occurred to me that the fact that I was trying to hide something from Hyeon Ha-yeon was a bad behavior and there was nothing I could do about it.

… Huh?

What is it, why… Oh, no!

At that moment, Hyeon Hayeon massaged his hand a little harder, and he came to his senses.

“Ugh, ah, it hurts…”

“… I’m sorry, it’s over now.”

Hyeon Hayeon gently let go of her hand, and I looked at her, touching her still numb hand.

Hyeon Ha-yeon said with a faint smile.

“Brother, I will forgive you for lying… Instead, should I wait a little while and then act properly?”

“… Yeah, yeah…”

She answered obediently and said Hyeon Hayeon would come first and returned to the scene.

She stood there blankly, feeling the cool breeze passing by her ears, and gathered her thoughts.

What happened so quickly made her feel like her head was floating and wouldn’t settle.

… What the hell…

She took a deep breath, calmed her pounding heart, and slowly returned to the scene.

It was only after gulping down a cool drink that was left in a corner of the scene that I felt like I had completely calmed down.

She approached Director Kang, who was looking for me, and heard an explanation about the next scene.

Then, I had some free time, and for some reason, I felt like I had to be next to Jiyeon Lee, so I rushed over, and Jiyeon Lee glanced at me and greeted me.

“… “Where have you been?”

I couldn’t lie to Jiyeon Lee, so she told the truth.

“… “I brought you something to drink. Would you like me to bring it to you?”

… Huh?

“No, it’s okay…” … By the way, do you know what the next scene is?”

“… Oh, you know…”

I started dating Hyeon Ha-yeon through the content of the music video, and we started making love while walking around campus, and Ji-yeon Lee watched from afar.

At Director Kang’s order, you should lightly link arms with Hyeon Hayeon or walk around holding her hand.

I have to show Jiyeon Lee that side of me…, I started to get a little worried.

… What if Jiyeon gets sad again?

Jiyeon Lee seemed to notice that I was looking a little serious at her concern, and she gently placed her hand on my back and said.

“… Don’t hold hands, okay? I really want to throw it all away, but I’m holding back because of you…”

He was just putting his hand on her back, but it felt like a strange pressure was pressing down on her shoulder.

… Ji-yeon, you shouldn’t be sad…

“… Well, you know…”

After using the interlude to have a short ‘conversation’ with Lee Ji-yeon, preparations for filming were already complete.

Lastly, I checked my makeup and clothing and entered the angle.

While standing side by side with Hyeon Ha-yeon on a road lined with green trees and waiting for Director Kang’s autograph, Hyeon Ha-yeon softly whispered.

“… “Oppa, what are you going to do?”

As if the shock from earlier hadn’t subsided, she flinched a little at Hyeon Hayeon’s voice, but she tried her best to pretend it was nothing.

“… Hold my arm lightly.”

Of course, you shouldn’t hold her hand, so wouldn’t it be okay to lightly fold her arms?

She quietly brought out the plan she had thought of in advance, and Hyeon Hayeon glanced up at me.

The moment she turned her head and made eye contact with Hyeon Hayeon, a dizzy headache passed by.

… Sigh.

While I was shaking my head and coming to my senses, I heard the staff’s voice.

“Shoot in! One…”

I slightly raised my arm and made it easy for Hyeon Ha-yeon to grab my forearm.

“Two…”

After pausing for a moment, Hyeon Ha-yeon obediently placed her hand on my forearm.

“Three! Action!”

At that moment, Hyeon Ha-yeon’s arm came up and wrapped around my arm.

My body froze at the soft touch of her forearm, and in the end, I went numb.

“”… Sorry!””

After quickly apologizing, we took our positions again and waited for the cue sign.

This time, Hyunha-yeon gently grabbed her forearm, and I narrowed my eyes and glared at her.

The moment Hyeon Ha-yeon saw my eyes and smiled mischievously…

Suddenly, my heart started pounding.

… Huh?
