“Why is Sanghyuk holding you?
“Why did you just stay still?”
Hayeon was speechless for a moment.
In a corner of the studio where filming had finished, the cameras were off, but there were still staff members moving around.
“…Senior, let’s talk about this here...”
“If not here, then where else can we do it?”
Jaehyun took a step closer.
The distance between Ha-yeon and Jae-hyun narrowed in an instant.
“I saw it all.”
“….”
“You know it, but you still do it.”
Jaehyun's eyes wavered.
His eyes were a mixture of anger and anxiety.
“You know that too. That’s not acting.”
Hayeon took a deep breath.
"senior."
“….”
“I too… felt uncomfortable.”
Jaehyun's expression froze for a moment.
“But, this is a filming location.”
"…so?"
“If I push it away, it might get weirder, and it might lead to a bigger misunderstanding...”
“So you just hugged me?”
Hayeon's words were cut off.
Jaehyun's words were sharp.
“…Did it look like that?”
“Then, no?”
Hayeon bit her lips tightly.
“Senior,
.
.
“Do you know how ambiguous my position is?”
“….”
“To the cast of Yeonp
My senior was a production staff member, but he suddenly came to Meggi...
Meanwhile, Senior Sanghyuk...!”
“Don’t talk about that guy.”
Hayeon paused at Jaehyun's words.
"why?"
"…it's annoying."
Jaehyun turned his head and looked at Hayeon again.
“That kid knows better than to do that.”
Hayeon finally spoke.
“Senior Sanghyuk,
“I know that you are my boyfriend.”
"…what?"
“I know we’re not dating, we’re a couple. I told you that during our break.”
Jaehyun's eyes widened.
"…so?"
“So I spoke honestly.
“I didn’t know that I was a senior catfish either, and the situation is so confusing.”
Jaehyun gritted his teeth.
“…Then I don’t understand anymore.”
“What is it?”
“Why did you keep pushing even though you knew?”
"…. that!"
“Do you know how crazy I look when I see that?”
Hayeon spoke cautiously.
“But, my senior said it was okay.. I understand since it’s filming..”
Jaehyun was silent for a moment.
“…I never said it was okay.”
"yes?"
“I said I would try to hold on.”
At those words, Ha-yeon's eyes shook.
“…Isn’t that what you mean?”
“No, I was just pretending it was okay.”
“….”
After taking a moment to catch her breath, Hayeon finally said what she had been holding back.
“Then what about you, senior?”
"what?"
“Why are you acting like a catfish without saying anything?”
Jaehyun's eyes turned to Hayeon.
“Did you say a word to me?”
“….”
“If you suddenly show up on set without saying anything and stand there as an actor...!”
Hayeon's voice became faster and faster.
“Do you know how surprised I was? I was trying to control my facial expressions in front of the camera.
“It was really, really hard.”
Jaehyun didn't say anything.
“I was constantly worried about my senior while filming,
I'm really worried about what other people think, so I'm worried about looking weird...
“My heart keeps pounding like I got caught for no reason!!!”
Hayeon took a deep breath.
“But why didn’t you say anything, senior?”
"…sorry."
“No, don’t say that,”
“….”
“It’s okay that you showed up without saying anything, and it’s not a big deal that I’m flustered, right?
"It's only your feelings that matter, right?"
Jaehyun's expression hardened.
“Seo Ha-yeon.”
“No, don’t call my name now.”
“….”
“Seniors are always like that. They speak their minds first.
Then say sorry and....”
“Then what should I have done?”
Jaehyun's voice also got louder.
"Should I have just stood by and watched? My girlfriend was doing that with another guy..."
“That’s Yeonp!!”
Hayeon shouted.
"You knew that when you started, didn't you? You knew that and still said it was okay..."
“It wasn’t as good as I thought!”
Their words clashed.
“So you appeared like this? By using the production team’s authority?”
“…Don’t say that.”
Tears welled up in Hayeon's eyes.
“I came here because I trusted you, senior.”
“….”
That was when.
“Hey hey hey kids”
Dokyeom intervened.
“It won’t work.”
Dokyeom grabbed Jaehyun's arm and pulled him.
“Even though it’s just a corner, this is a filming location?!?!? Even without cameras, you have to be careful!”
“Brother, that’s not it...”
“You come out first.”
Dokyeom took Jaehyun away by force.
“Hayeon, you should also tidy up first~? Haha”
Jaehyun looked back several times while being dragged away.
Hayeon stood there and eventually lowered her head.
A teardrop fell to the floor.
The filming was somehow completed.
The equipment was put away and people left one by one.
Seo Ha-yeon
It was Jaehyun.
“I’ll take you there.”
"…no."
Hayeon shook her head.
"are you okay."
“…Going alone?”
“Yes, don’t follow me.”
Jaehyun couldn't say any more.
Hayeon is carrying a bag
I walked out alone.
On the way home,
Hayeon happened to run into Sanghyuk at a traffic light.
“Hayeon?”
"…oh!"
“Are you on your way home?”
“…yeah haha”
“Then, should I take you there?”
Hayeon hesitated for a moment and then said.
“Senior, it’s okay during filming.”
“…?”
“It’s a little uncomfortable to do that even outside.
… sorry"
“Ugh!! No, I just thought it might be dangerous to walk at night haha”
“Thank you for telling me first though!! Be careful on your way home-”
Hayeon lowered her head and walked away alone.
At that time,
"hey."
Dokyeom said.
“This is your fault, you know that???”
“….”
“Not saying anything, that’s the worst.
I really said that~~~?????”
"…know."
“Go apologize. It’s hard even if you hit your head on it.”
"... hmm"
Jaehyun went to Hayeon's house without saying a word.
In front of the apartment, the moment Hayeon was about to enter the front door
“Hayeon-ah.”
“….”
Hayeon didn't look back.
The moment she was about to open the door, Jaehyun grabbed Hayeon's arm.
“Let go!!”
Jaehyun silently took Hayeon towards the park.
“Let go of this! Why do you always do whatever you want, senior?”
Hayeon's voice trembled.
“Can’t you see I’m angry right now?!”
At that moment,
Jaehyun buried his face in Hayeon's neck without saying anything.
"…Sorry."
Hayeon's body stiffened.
“I’m really sorry…
“I was wrong.”
Jaehyun held his breath as if rubbing his face.
“I was so scared... that's why I made a stupid choice... I was wrong...”
Hayeon remained silent for a while, then finally sighed.
"…in future."
“….”
“Don’t disappoint me like this?”
Hayeon carefully hugged Jaehyun.
"yes"
“I will also be able to talk well with Senior Sanghyuk.”
“….”
“I won’t make you feel uneasy, senior...”
Only then did Jaehyun's arms hug Hayeon tightly.
“…Thank you, heuk...”
"Wh...what is it, are you crying?"
"Ugh... no... uh"
"Huh?? Hahahaha this guy is crying, crying,
Neighborhood people~~ There's a guy here who's all grown up and crying because he got scolded by his girlfriend.. Ugh!!!"
At that moment, Jaehyun thought that he had to stop Hayeon from screaming.
We kissed.
So the two of them stood on the park wall for a long time.
It was a night of reconciliation.
