“The weather is really nice today. Look at the clear sky. It’s perfect to buy kimbap on a day like this and go to the Han River to play.”
Kim Kangwoo stretched out his body and looked up at the sky.
“Where aren’t you going today?”
“Huh?”
Inseop, who was lost in thought, turned his head.
“It ended so early today. You should go on a date. Ah, it’s weekdays, so you don’t want to be with your girlfriend.”
“It’s not like that, but…”
“Then you should meet. It must have been hard to see your face because you’ve been late with work lately.”
He saw his face every day. Inseop paused, saying, “Maybe it’s because I was hesitant.”
“Did you fight?”
Kangwoo glanced at him and asked.
“…We didn’t fight.”
He tossed and turned with barely any sleep last night.
Lee Wooyeon had definitely met Chae Yeonseo before. But why did he bother to lie to him? Inseop let out a long sigh and called Kangwoo.
“Yes, hyung.”
“Can I ask you something? If it’s an embarrassing question, you don’t have to answer it.”
“Ah, I’ll tell you everything except the passcode. What is it? Ask me.”
Kangwoo replied kindly.
“Have you ever had someone you dated lie to you before? It’s not a bad lie.”
Inseop asked Kim Kangwoo very carefully.
The events that have happened recently have been too much for Inseop. He couldn’t figure out what it was, and no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t find an answer. At least, Kim Kangwoo was the only person around him who could give dating advice.
“Of course.”
Kangwoo grinned. Inseop let out a small sigh of relief.
“How can a person speak the truth every day in his life?”
“Right?”
Something must have happened. Because he didn’t want to doubt Lee Wooyeon, Inseop kept repeating that to himself.
“But that was a foreshadowing.”
“What foreshadow?”
“I used to do Taekwondo until high school, but I didn’t do well because of my injury, so I just went to physical education without thinking. I didn’t want to do anything, I didn’t have any worries about the future, and I seemed pathetic to my girlfriend.”
When Inseop was told that he had no particular desire to do anything or that he seemed to have no worries, Inseop was stunned.
“They must have been tired of it. That’s why I started seeing signs slowly. I hear things like delaying appointments, not being able to contact me, and the lies they told me about earlier.”
“What lies specifically?”
“She just said she was going to sleep, went out somewhere, went to the library alone, watched a movie with my younger brother, and when I looked at it, I wondered why she had to lie.”
”… “
“Later on, I kept doubting, and it was the worst. Eventually, we broke up.”
“…Did your girlfriend ask you to break up first?”
“Yes.”
Kim Kangwoo nodded his head gloomily.
“So I regret it.”
“What?
“Actually, I knew it was already over, but I didn’t want to accept that fact, so I turned away. She asked me several times. ‘Do you have anything you want to say?’ ?I should’ve told her to break up with me. I’m regretful that I passed the last villain role to her.”
Unusually, Kim Kangwoo muttered gloomily.
“You did your best.”
“The best doesn’t always lead to good results, dating.”
“…yes.”
As Inseop weakly confronted him, Kangwoo showed a worried expression.
“But why suddenly? You and your girlfriend don’t get along?”
“I do not know.”
Judging from Lee Wooyeon’s attitude, it was perfect.
He was sweet, kind, and even gentlemanly, to the point where he wondered if he had made a mistake.
“Ah, you’ve known each other for a long time. Relationships have good days and cloudy days, just like the weather. They say they don’t want to meet or treat you coldly, don’t they?”
“Yeah, no. Not at all. Very friendly.”
Inseop vigorously shook his head and stubbornly denied it. Kim Kangwoo smiled and said, “That’s all right,” and waved his hand. Then, as if something came to his mind, he lowered his voice and said.
“I heard this from my friends, but if you don’t perform that well, it’s 100 percent.”
“That?”
Kim Kangwoo said, covering his mouth with his hand so that no one would hear.
“Sleeping. If you fall out, the number of times you do it will decrease.”
Inseop remembered the last time he and Lee Wooyeon had been together.
He was the one who asked to be careful, so he deserved it.
“They say they don’t even want to hold hands.”
Inseop looked down at his hand. He remembered Lee Wooyeon driving with one hand intertwined.
He felt relieved at this thought, but he couldn’t help it. Because Lee Wooyeon was good. That was it.
“What are you talking about so seriously?”
Inseop gasped at the voice that came from behind him.
“Are you done with the interview?
“Yes. I finished early today.”
Kim Kangwoo asked, but Lee Wooyeon answered while looking at Inseop.
“Then I’ll go inside and say goodbye.”
Inseop tried to enter the cafe, but Lee Wooyeon blocked his way and blinked at Kim Kangwoo.
“I’ll bring the car right away.”
Quickly, Kim Kangwoo disappeared immediately. When they were left alone, Lee Wooyeon crossed his arms and looked at Inseop with a smile.
“Didn’t you sleep? Your eyes are swollen.”
Lee Wooyeon rubbed his thumb under Inseop’s red eyes.
“Ah, yes. A little…”
Inseop quickly turned his head as he felt the area around his eyes burning up.
“What are you doing?”
“I fell asleep late reading a book.”
“What book? A dirty book?”
Lee Wooyeon asked spitefully, knowing that Inseop’s bookshelf did not contain a single adult book.
“Oh, no. I don’t read that.”
“How about reading it? If you have something interesting, lend it to me too. Read it.”
“… I don’t read it, but if I find it, I’ll lend it to you.”
Watching Inseop seriously answer this joke, Lee Wooyeon briefly swallowed a laugh.
A black van arrived. Inseop quickly opened the car door.
“I have hands too. Don’t open it from now on.”
Lee Wooyeon said as he climbed into the car, and Kim Kangwoo couldn’t hold back his admiration. He had no idea.
When Inseop opened the passenger seat door, Kangwoo shook his head.
“Hyung, ride in the back today. This is the brochure that Assistant Manager Jo asked for, and since the business is nearby, I received it before parking and put it in front because I was in a hurry.
Kim Kangwoo pointed to the boxes stacked in the passenger seat and said.
“I’ll put it behind.”
As Inseop tried to move the box, Lee Wooyeon threw the car door wide open.
“Get on.”
“No. After moving, in front…”
“When will you move them all. I’m tired.”
Lee Wooyeon urged with a face that didn’t look tired at all.
Inseop had no choice but to put the box back in the passenger seat and climbed into the back seat. Then Kim Kangwoo said, “I will start,” and turned the steering wheel. Inseop fastened his seatbelt clip and looked ahead. As usual, Lee Wooyeon opened the book.
There was room for one person to pass between the two seats, but it was strangely tense.
“Please go to the office.”
“Aren’t you going home?”
At Lee Wooyeon’s request, Kim Kangwoo asked while correcting the navigation destination.
“I have something to do with the representative,”
Lee Wooyeon replied as he turned over the book page.
Inseop went to the office once a week to receive and check the schedule. Even if Lee Wooyeon complained about why he had to suffer for something that could have been received by e-mail, it was something he did not skip. It was also a habit to prepare for the unexpected, but it was to greet the people in the office directly.
Today was the day he went to the office. And Lee Wooyeon did not have any other appointments with CEO Kim.
Did he know and asked to go to the office? Inseop glanced at Lee Wooyeon. He must have felt his gaze, and Lee Wooyeon looked at him and winked playfully. Inseop turned his head behind him. 𝒃𝒆𝙙𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝙡.𝙤𝒓𝙜
“The weather is really nice today.”
Kim Kangwoo turned on the radio and opened his mouth. Loud music poured from the radio.
“You finished early today, aren’t you going somewhere?”
Lee Wooyeon said, “I don’t know,” and flipped a page.
“I want to meet friends for a drink after a long time.”
“I see.”
“Do not worry. I haven’t told anyone I’m your road manager.”
“I’m not worried.”
Lee Wooyeon smiled. It was a smile with the sincere intention to tell him to shut up. Inseop called Kangwoo cautiously, saying, “Kangwoo.” Wooyeon’s eyebrows twitched as he flipped the page.
“Besides the radio, I have a CD under it. Can you play that?”
“Yes, hyung.”
Kim Kangwoo put in the CD and turned on the audio as Inseop told him to. Against the background of the quiet piano accompaniment, a man’s voice sounded like a chant.
“Isn’t this the music inserted in the coffee commercial you shot a while ago? What’s the name of the song?”
“<Love you more>.”
After hearing Inseop’s answer, Wooyeon tilted his head slightly.
“The title is this, but why are the lyrics like this?”
Contrary to the title, the lyrics continued saying ‘I cannot love you anymore.’
“But it sounds like you can’t help but love in the end, to me… . So maybe that’s the title.”
Inseop carefully presented his opinion. Lee Wooyeon silently listening to the song murmured, and he opened her mouth.
“Why about the lyrics? What do you mean? What’s wrong?”
Like a dog begging to play with him, Kim Kangwoo asked several times.
“Because the title and lyrics are opposite.”
Kim Kangwoo stopped asking questions only after hearing Inseop’s comments.
“Sometimes these things are difficult.”
Lee Wooyeon turned over one more page of his book and continued his words.
“I don’t quite understand”
Knowing what he was saying, Inseop couldn’t answer easily.
“I am having a hard time too. I got all the English listening tests wrong.”
Kim Kangwoo, who took Lee Wooyeon’s words with a completely different meaning, said with an innocent face.
“Okay.”
Lee Wooyeon, smiling with eyes that showed no interest, turned his gaze back to the book.
Inseop looked out the car window. As Kim Kangwoo said, it was a good day that was dazzling. But even looking at the beautiful scenery, his heart was still bleak.
Why did he lie that he had never met her? As Kim Kangwoo said, is such a trivial lie a foreshadow… If so, will they eventually break up?
Is it polite for him to tell him to break up first? If so, he wants to live as a fool for the rest of his life…
“What’s going on?”
Lee Wooyeon asked with his face pressed against him.
“Oh, no.”
“No. Aren’t you sick?”
“…!”
Lee Wooyeon put one hand on Inseop’s forehead and the other on his forehead, comparing their heat.
“I don’t think it’s a cold. Do you want to go to the hospital?”
“I guess it’s because I didn’t get enough sleep last night.”
Turning his reddened face to the side, Inseop answered.
“Then get some sleep. I’ll wake you up when we get there.”
Wooyeon pushed back Inseop’s chair and took off his jacket to cover him.
The man’s scent covered his entire body. He felt like he was being hugged by him.
Inseop closed his eyes, but he couldn’t sleep. He was more nervous than before. He had trouble even breathing.
“Are you really not sick?”
Lee Wooyeon asked again. Inseop shook his head.
“I heard that the flu is prevalent these days, hyung be careful too. Actor-nim, be careful too. It looks like you’re taking some kind of medicine.”
Kangwoo glanced behind him in the room mirror and said.
“Where are you sick?”
Inseop was surprised and asked.
“I ate for prevention. Let’s catch a cold and go get an injection together.”
Wooyeon said playfully and fixed his jacket to cover her.
“… thank you.”
Wooyeon responded with a pat with his hand. He felt frustrated as if his heart was broken again at that trivial movement.
Inseop let out a long breath and closed his eyes.
It wasn’t long before they arrived at the office.
