He heard someone knocking on the door urgently. Lee Wooyeon did not even move. But the knocking on the door got louder and louder.
“Actor. Actor.”
Urgent voices followed. Lee Wooyeon raised his body, frowning his eyes as if he was not happy. Inseop let out a small breath. As he showed a visibly relieved expression, Lee Wooyeon’s stomach twisted.
“Actor! It’s urgent!”
Lee Wooyeon strode toward the door. When he opened the door, Kim Kangwoo spat out his words without breathing as if he had waited.
“Call. It’s the representative. A very urgent call.”
Then he held out his phone. Lee Wooyeon received Kim Kangwoo’s cell phone with the expression of receiving a well-wrapped cockroach as a gift.
“Yes. I changed my phone.”
Even while he was on the phone, Lee Wooyeon’s eyes were on Inseop.
<Lee Wooyeon! Why don’t you answer the phone?>
“It’s not that I didn’t answer the phone, it’s that I can’t.”
<Why not, ah right. You broke your cell phone yesterday. That temper of yours.>
“Did you call to talk about my temper?”
Promising to take responsibility and bury his young brother-in-law if he called to talk about it, Lee Wooyeon inclined his head.
<No, that’s not it, I think you shouldn’t go to the awards ceremony today.>
“Isn’t that talk over?”
Choi Inseop did the same, but CEO Kim also objected to participating in this film festival. It was because it didn’t look good.
<It’s not over. Don’t go to the awards ceremony. In any case.>
“Why?”
Lee Wooyeon asked lightly.
If it was trivial reason, he would dig two pits.
<… Chae Yeonseo dating rumors will come out.>
“Did you call me in case I didn’t know? If you keep losing your memory like that, you should go to the hospital.”
Lee Wooyeon clicked his tongue as if he was truly sorry.
<Not you! With someone else!>
“Um. Is that so?”
Lee Wooyeon murmured indifferently and looked at Inseop. And then to Kim Kangwoo, who was standing right next to Inseop and clinging to him.
“Hyung-nim. Aren’t you feverish? Your face is red.”
“Oh, no. It’s okay.”
Kim Kangwoo’s hand touched Inseop’s forehead without hesitation.
“Isn’t it a little warm?”
As expected, he should’ve pretended not to know earlier and broke that bastard’s fingers.
While Lee Wooyeon was thinking about that, CEO Kim’s serious voice continued on the other side of the cell phone.
<I’m not exactly sure yet, the head of the reporter desk who caught the scoop is my junior in graduate school, so I begged him to block it until tomorrow. Unfortunately, a picture was taken of me entering the hotel, so I couldn’t even take it off.>
“Ah. A bitch without an award”
<Hey man! Watch your words!>
CEO Kim was frightened and shouted. Lee Wooyeon shrugged his shoulders and replied, “No one’s listening.”
<There is no award.>
CEO Kim started whining and talking. How can this be?
What was he going to do if he came out like that in a situation like this? Is he crazy to go to a hotel, how can he act like an amateur when it’s not like he has been doing business for a day or two, etc.
<I ruined my image myself, but what about your image?>
“What about my image?”
Lee Wooyeon asked as if he were talking about someone else.
<Think about it. You even risked dogfighting because of your girlfriend, but she cheated on you with another guy. How pitiful you must look.>
“Would you feel sorry for me?”
As the phone call got longer, he saw Inseop’s face looking at him with a worried expression.
<Of course not. Ha, I wasn’t going to say this, but your eyes look like you’ve given up. It adds to the real story.>
Lee Wooyeon glanced at his eyes reflected in the window and smiled with satisfaction. If possible, he wanted to look more pitiful than a dog. If so, Inseop would pick it up without hesitation.
<… sorry. I have no face. It’s meaningless to talk about it now, but I think I did something wrong for my greed.>
The greatest strength of CEO Kim was his honesty. It was a great virtue for the person present to meekly admit his fault. Lee Wooyeon also praised CEO Kim for that.
“I’m glad you know.”
<… >
Of course, praising and forgiving were two different things. This one was something he would use over and over again.
“Does Choi Inseop know this?”
He lowered his voice and asked.
He didn’t know. If that were the case, there would be no way Inseop would work hard to pick out hairstyles for awards ceremonies with a plain expression. He had to make sure though.
<No. I’m the only one who knows. Not even Manager Cha knows.>
“It’s great. Don’t say anything until the article comes out.”
The work with Chae Yeonseo was directly recommended by Choi Inseop. It was clear that if Inseop knew this, he would stop participating in the awards ceremony, just like CEO Kim. He needed a trophy. He had to play the role of a pretty wrapping paper that would plausibly hide his dark intentions.
More than anything, he wanted to look perfect from head to toe today. No, he had to.
<Okay. I won’t tell him, anyway, let’s pretend you’re suddenly sick today. Or you fell suddenly You’re good at acting.>
“To use the grand prize winner’s acting skills for something like that?”
<You haven’t received the grand prize yet!>
“Then I have to go get it. And don’t ever contact Choi Inseop about this. Be mindful of who I am with.”
Having said that, Lee Wooyeon said, “Kangwoo, can you give me some water?” and shouted as if to be heard.
“Yes! Actor!”
Kangwoo ran towards the water purifier.
<Lee Wooyeon, you…!>
Without listening to the angry cry, Lee Wooyeon immediately turned off the power.
It was only then that Choi Inseop came.
“What happened?”
“Nothing happened.”
“He said it was urgent.”
Inseop’s big eyes shook with anxiety. Even if it wasn’t, it was a situation where there was a lot of talk because of the violent incident on the road.
“Because of the hairstyle.”
“Yes?”
“They told me not to do hair like that at the awards ceremony last time.”
The previous award ceremony hair was uniquely divided between likes and dislikes.
“I see…”
It wasn’t just a word out of courtesy, but Inseop seemed to believe that with all his heart.
People often use the expression cute for small and young things, things that are a little short of being pretty, and things that are immature but bring a heartfelt heart. Before Lee Wooyeon knew Inseop, he didn’t know exactly what ‘cute’ felt like.
“How about this? The suit you’re wearing now is the most similar to the costume at this time, and I remember that the reaction was very good.”
With a serious face, Inseop presents the photo he saved on his cell phone. It was a magazine B cut that was not featured in a pictorial before.
Cute.
When did he save something like that?
When he thought of Inseop, who must have been diligently looking for pictorial photos, he felt a tickle in his chest, as if he had swallowed a wad of cotton. Emotions that he hadn’t dared to touch before flooded in like a tidal wave.
“If I had known this would happen, I would have looked for more pictorials in advance…”
He stared blankly at Choi Inseop, who was muttering to himself in a pitiful voice. Even now, he wanted to lock the door to the dressing room, take off his baggy shirt, and suck his nipples until they were swollen.
Lee Wooyeon glanced at the door.
“Actor. Here is the water.”
“Thank you.”
Lee Wooyeon accepted the water cup.
“Are you done with the cell phone?”
“I’m sorry. My cell phone is broken, so can I borrow it for just one day? I need to talk to the CEO.”
He liked that CEO Kim was out of touch with his younger brother-in-law.
“It’s okay. Please use it to your heart’s content.”
Lee Wooyeon smiled, putting Kim Kangwoo’s cell phone in his pocket. Seeing an opportunity, he was going to break it in half and throw it in the trash.
“You can use mine.”
Inseop quickly held out his cell phone.
“That’s okay.”
When Lee Wooyeon refused, Inseop put the phone back in with a sullen face.
It was amazing. He can’t get angry at all, but no matter what he did, he can look this pretty all over again.
At Lee Wooyeon’s serious gaze, Inseop said he didn’t know where to turn, and quickly turned his head.
“Well, then I’ll pack up the clothes and put them in the car.”
“Hyung, I’m coming too.”
Kim Kangwoo quickly intervened.
A bastard who didn’t know how to read the room.
“Clean up the clothes later. And Mr. Kangwoo, could you go down and get some shoes for me? It’ll be in the car.”
“Yes, I see.”
When Lee Wooyeon asked him kindly, Kim Kangwoo quickly nodded.
“And the manager”
Lee Wooyeon turned his head. Their eyes met. Before Inseop could look away, Lee Wooyeon reached out and grabbed his arm.
“Please choose my hairstyle.”
As Inseop inadvertently tried to shake off his hand, he remembered what Lee Wooyeon had said earlier, and he nodded quietly.
“Then, Mr. Kangwoo, please do what I said earlier.”
“Yes, I know… ”
Before Kim Kangwoo’s answer was over, Lee Wooyeon closed the locker room door.
“Ha… ”
Inseop, who was carrying his luggage, let out a sigh as he rubbed his aching shoulder with the other hand. He had been sitting face to face with Lee Wooyeon for about 30 minutes before, choosing his hairstyle. Even when Inseop carefully selected the photos, Lee Wooyeon did not show any reaction. He just stared blankly at Inseop.
In the end, Inseop was released only after being called by a designer with his hair uneven.
Lee Wooyeon’s attitude was subtle. He seemed affectionate, but there was definitely a roughness that he could sense. Even if no one else knew, Inseop could clearly tell.
He has a lot to say, but he doesn’t talk easily. Thanks to that, he hardly ever exchanged a single word of private conversation except for work.
He wanted to hand Lee Wooyeon the money for the repair and it would be nice if all this was done neatly.
Inseop sighs as he touches the money envelope he put in his pocket.
“…”
He obviously put it here.
He put his hand in the pocket opposite him, wondering if he was confused. It was the same. Nothing caught his hand.
“It can’t be…”
Inseop panicked and searched all the pockets of his jacket.
It was gone.
Goosebumps ran down his spine. Once again he searched his pockets carefully, but could not find the envelope. Inseop remembered the last time he checked the envelope. He was obviously checking on the first floor of the hair salon. After that, he received Kim Kangwoo’s document envelope and even put it in it, and then ….
“…!”
He remembered dropping his jacket on the locker room floor. Inseop quickly turned around and started running.
“Hyung? Where are you going? We have to leave now.”
Kim Kangwoo, who was just coming out of the shop carrying a suitcase, found Inseop and asked in surprise.
“I, wait, upstairs, envelope… ”
The words didn’t come out right. Almost all of his possessions were in the envelope. He had to find it before someone found it and took it away. Rather than losing his money, he was afraid of disappointing Lee Wooyeon again.
“What envelope? Is this it by any chance?”
Kim Kangwoo took out an envelope folded in half from his pocket and held it out.
“…Sorry. I was so surprised. I’m so glad.”
“Did the envelope contain anything important?”
Inseop nodded his head.
“What is it?”
Kangwoo asked with his eyes shining. Inseop looked around and replied briefly.
“Money.”
“How much? Do you have 100 million? Hahaha”
“…”
Inseop didn’t answer anything.
“Ugh. Is it real? Does it really contain 100 million?”
“Shh. Shh.”
Inseop motioned for him to be quiet.
“Why 100 million?”
“I have to give it to someone.”
He couldn’t go into details, so Inseop just covered things up.
“Is it a check? I’ve never seen a check for 100 million. Can you show it to me?”
Since he had to make sure the check was safe, Inseop meekly nodded his head. When he took out the check from the white envelope and showed it to him, Kim Kangwoo exclaimed, “Wow!”
“It’s really one hundred million. Hyung is very rich.”
“It’s pretty much my entire fortune.”
Inseop smiled awkwardly and put the envelope back in his pocket. This time, he had buttoned up the pockets of his jacket altogether, so that he would not lose it again.
“I heard that if you pick up lost money, 10% is given to the person who picked it up.”
Kim Kangwoo, who was walking to the parking lot, said in a mocking tone.
“I did not know. Sorry. I don’t have any money right now, but I’ll be sure to pay you back later.”
Seeing Inseop apologize without a shadow of a doubt, Kim Kangwoo held out his hand.
“No. I just said it.”
“No. Of course I have to pay.”
“Then buy a meal for the night.”
“That is natural. Do you need anything else?”
“Um, girlfriend? I’m really lonely these days.”
“Okay. I’ll look into it.”
No one knows, but Inseop nodded his head, trying to find out by asking people around him as much as possible. Kim Kangwoo was excited while he smiled broadly.
“What type do you like?”
“Of course a pretty woman.”
“Anything else?”
“I have to meet her personality to know it, so that’s a pass. Well, what else is important?”
Kim Kangwoo seriously thought about it, then turned his head.
“What do you like most about your girlfriend?”
“Me? I like everything…”
Kim Kangwoo opened his car door and put his suitcase in order.
“Ah, what is that? But there will be a part that immediately catches your eye. My friend, when he sees a pretty girl with slender legs, he just falls for it. Doesn’t hyung-nim have something like that?”
Inseop replied, “shoulder,” without thinking.
“A shoulder?”
Kim Kangwoo looked back with surprise.
“Oh, that, that’s just my type…”
Perhaps it was because he had heard about the quarterback’s shoulder from Jennie a hundred times, Inseop inadvertently glanced at Lee Wooyeon’s shoulder every time he saw him.
“A girl with pretty shoulders. Well, that’s nice too. I’ve never thought about it before, but then I guess I also like a girl with a pretty neck?”
“Okay. I’ll look for it.”
“Huh? What is this carrier? I haven’t seen it before.”
Kim Kangwoo found Inseop’s carrier and asked.
“It’s mine. Sorry. It got in the way.”
As soon as he got out of the motel in the morning, he immediately got into the car, so he couldn’t find a place to put it and put it in the back of the car.
“No. It’s okay. But where are you going to play?”
“Haha. Nothing of that sort.”
He couldn’t explain all of his long story, so Inseop filled it with a laugh.
When he got out of the parking lot and drove the van in front of the building, he saw Lee Wooyeon standing at the entrance.
“Wow. Guys don;t usually say this, but doesn’t he look like a prince from a fairy tale?”
“…huh.”
Did he have to worry so much about his hairstyle? Any choice would have been just perfect.
“Does he have to be that good-looking?”
At the words Kim Kangwoo threw as a joke, Inseop muttered, with a blank face. When Kim Kangwoo stopped the car at the entrance, Lee Wooyeon approached. Inseop quickly got out of the passenger seat and opened the car door.
“You don’t have to.”
“Today is a good day, isn’t it?”
Lee Wooyeon, who was about to get into the car at Inseop’s words, stopped and looked at Inseop.
“Did I get something on my face?”
Inseop asked while rubbing the chestnuts he had earned.
“No.”
Lee Wooyeon replied. His gaze was still on him.
“Yeah. I hope it will be a good day.”
Lee Wooyeon laughed. It was a smile as clear as the clear sky.
“… Of course it will be.”
Inseop answered while lowering his head. Hearing his laugh for the first time in a while made Inseop’s heart beat fast enough to deafen his ears.
It felt like a good day already.
