A few days later.
The final day of filming for the second half of the main campaign.
The studio was busy from dawn.
Lighting check complete.
The costume is ready.
I'll start the makeup.
Kim Yeo-ju checked her route while looking at her tablet.
Filming will proceed as scheduled.
I will finish without any delays.
"yes."
Flawless instructions, as always.
however.
"...Cough."
A faint cough was heard.
Kim Yeo-ju inadvertently raised her head.
In front of the waiting room.
Haechan was coughing while covering his mouth.
Is it a cold?
It was a thought that briefly crossed my mind.
First shoot.
"great!"
One more shot!
Haechan would normally be overflowing with energy more than anyone else.
But today was different.
I catch my breath after every cut,
He did not let go of the water bottle.
"are you okay?"
When the photographer asked.
"yes."
I answered with a smile, but.
Kim Yeo-ju noticed it right away.
I'm not feeling well.
-
Lunchtime.
Kim Yeo-ju was organizing materials alone in the conference room.
A short while later.
As I passed by the waiting room, the door was slightly ajar.
Inside, the conversation between Haechan and the manager could be heard.
The fever hasn't gone down yet.
"...are you okay."
Do you want to go to the hospital?
I can just rest once today is over.
"At this point, maybe we should postpone the filming..."
"No."
A moment of silence.
This campaign.
Manager Kim, you know, you've been preparing for this for months.
"..."
"You'll probably hate it the most if I postpone the schedule because of my condition."
Kim Yeo-ju stopped walking.
He did not open the door.
He simply left quietly.
-
Afternoon shoot.
As expected, Haechan's condition gradually worsened.
Shall we take a short break?
"no."
"it's okay."
Filming continued.
Kim Yeo-ju looked at the monitor and finally spoke.
"...Let's take a 10-minute break."
The staff looked at her with surprised expressions.
"Manager?"
We will proceed after the break.
"But the schedule..."
I will take responsibility.
It was short and decisive.
-
foyer.
Haechan was sitting in a chair with his head bowed.
at that time.
widely.
A small envelope was placed in front of my eyes.
"...?"
When I looked up, Kim Yeo-ju was standing there.
It's killer.
"..."
You can't even take medicine on an empty stomach.
Haechan stared blankly at the envelope.
"Manager Kim..."
"..."
Did you buy this yourself?
"...nearby."
Short answer.
Haechan laughed for no reason.
I was just moved.
"...It's not something to be moved by."
"no."
Haechan clutched the envelope tightly.
I'm so touched.
Kim Yeo-ju avoided eye contact.
"...Please eat quickly."
"yes."
"and."
Kim Yeo-ju paused for a moment, then added.
Please do not overexert yourself today.
"..."
Rather than the brand.
People come first.
He turned around after saying those words.
Haechan stared at her back for a while.
-
The filming was finished safely.
"Thank you for your effort!"
The staff burst into applause.
Everyone started preparing to withdraw one by one.
Kim Yeo-ju was also trying to pack her laptop.
Haechan called from behind.
Manager Kim.
"...yes."
Wait a moment.
He took a small paper bag out of his pocket.
"...What is this?"
It's a vitamin.
"..."
My mother.
He told me to always look after anyone who is busy.
Kim Yeo-ju looked at the envelope.
I'm fine.
Please don't refuse.
Haechan said with a smile.
This time.
I'm going to be a bit stubborn.
A moment of silence.
In the end, Kim Yeo-ju accepted the envelope.
"...thank you."
Haechan smiled broadly.
It's my first time.
"...?"
Manager Kim was the one who said thank you first.
"..."
"...I did a lot."
It's my first time.
At those words, Kim Yeo-ju couldn't hold back her laughter.
"...after."
The corners of his mouth went up just a little.
Haechan also laughed along.
at that time.
One employee watching the two from a distance muttered.
Those two people..."
The atmosphere has changed a lot.
-
That night.
Kim Yeo-ju returned home and sat on the sofa, organizing her bag.
A small paper bag came out of it.
'vitamin.'
I opened it without thinking.
Inside, along with a bottle of vitamins, there was a small note.
Manager Kim, you should take care of yourself sometimes too. You always work so hard. - Haechan
It was a short sentence.
but.
Kim Yeo-ju could not take her eyes off the memo for a long time.
It was the first time.
Someone.
Not his own achievements,
The one who worried about me.
At that moment.
The cell phone rang.
[Haechan]
I really enjoyed the porridge today. Thanks to it, I was able to hold out until the end. Thank you.
Kim Yeo-ju stared at the screen and slowly typed a reply.
That's a relief. Please get some good rest.
After pressing the send button.
He suddenly read his reply again.
Usually.
It was a remark I would never have sent.
-
And at the same time.
Haechan couldn't hide his smile after checking his phone.
"...This is."
We've gotten a little closer, right?
However, the two people didn't know yet.
With the conclusion of the last project.
That news awaited that would completely shake their relationship.
