My fourth relationship, which began after three ordinary relationships, was thrilling, sending shivers down my spine. It was at a studio where I, an ordinary makeup artist, met my amazing boyfriend. Of course, he was a famous model.
My boyfriend, who shined from head to toe, gave me a very good first impression. From what I'd seen, handsome or pretty people always had a bad personality, but my boyfriend was anything but that. He had a chiseled face, was polite, and left a good impression on everyone.
He's handsome, has a good personality, and is polite. He's the kind of guy you only see in dramas, and even his name, Kim Taehyung, is cool.
Of course, he was a cool guy that all the girls would fall for, but I just felt like I was seeing a celebrity.
What changed my thinking 180 degrees was the way he sincerely helped me clean up the studio.
It was the way he looked at me that made me realize that he was a little different from everyone else, even though he was kind and affectionate to everyone.
The look he gives to someone he's interested in. It was exactly that kind of look. At first, I wondered if I was mistaken, so I carefully observed the way he looked at other women, but it was ordinary, nothing special.
Since that look,
"Miss Yeoju, could you please touch up my makeup?"
Don't you keep asking me to touch up your makeup, even though it looks good no matter how you look at it?
“My lips keep getting dry. Could you put some lip balm on them?”
Don't you keep asking me to apply lip balm to your lips that aren't dry at all?
"Would you like some? I don't like this, but the new manager keeps buying it."
Don't you always hand me my favorite caramel latte?
No matter how much I thought about it, there were more than one or two strange things.
In the end, I decided to ask honestly.
"Why do you keep doing this to me? Did I do something wrong?"
Before asking "Do you like me?" without any pretense, you're laying the groundwork.
"Huh? You did nothing wrong, Ms. Yeoju. Why did you think that?"
"Then why do you keep bothering me? Do you enjoy taking care of me?"
"I've never taken advantage of you, Miss Yeoju. I've never even treated you like a joke."
"Then do you like me?"
".............."
Is silence affirmation?
"Yes. I like that lady."
"That's why I kept wanting to see you up close."
"What would you do if I had a boyfriend?"
"I heard you talking to someone else. You said you don't have a boyfriend."
"You don't know how happy I was to hear that, Yeoju."
Ah... this guy is a real player... no, he's a total fox. I almost had double eyelid bleeding.
"What do you think of me, Yeoju? Am I not that great?"
Taehyung is not that great. He's not that great in my heart☆
I'm so captivated by this face that I'm even thinking about this...
"Not really... no..."
"Then will you accept my confession?"
If you don't accept my confession with that face, you're really crazy.
This is how my fourth love affair began.
...
After dating, I started to see things about Taehyung that I hadn't seen before. Even though he seemed perfect, like a fraud, he also showed human sides.
Laughing out of the blue while filming, striking strange poses, making silly expressions, etc.
So we continued our secret relationship without any problems, but something happened that upset me.
It was nothing more than a commercial shoot with a foreign female model of exceptional beauty, and it turned out to be a closer and more affectionate shoot than I had expected.
I couldn't just declare, "This is my man," and pull myself together. I told myself, "This is just a photoshoot." But after the shoot, Taehyung whispered to me and gave me the loving gaze he only showed me, and my patience exploded.
That evening, when Taehyung came to our house, I showed him how upset I was. I answered his questions halfheartedly, avoided eye contact, and avoided any physical contact.
Taehyung, who felt something was wrong, asked me cautiously.
"My lady, what did I do wrong?"
"No. There's nothing like that."
"Then why haven't you met my eyes since earlier, why have you been hesitant in your responses to my questions, and why have you been avoiding physical contact?"
"I don't know. I'm just tired."
"If I did something wrong, tell me. I'll fix it."
"Okay. I'll just get it out of the way. After the shoot today, you whispered in my ear with a foreign model and looked at me with such loving eyes. Was it that nice?"
"I'm sorry if that hurt you. I won't look at another woman like that again."
"No. To be honest, even I thought she was lovely and pretty. She's incomparable to me."
How childish. Getting jealous over something like that.
I wasn't originally this childish, but someone made me become this childish.
"What are you talking about? In my eyes, you are the most beautiful person in the world."
"No one can compare me to you, and no one can exchange me for you."
"It was my first time, someone made me feel so childish."
From what I've heard since then, she kept looking at me, and she got angry and hated seeing me talking to other men. She said she wanted to be by my side.
You too.
You make me feel childish, strangely enough.
Behind the scenes
What Taehyung whispered to a female model during a CF shoot was,
"Do you see the woman in the purple shirt? She's my girlfriend. She's really pretty, isn't she?"
(Do you see the woman in the purple shirt over there? That's my girlfriend. Isn't she really pretty?)
The female model who discovered the heroine smiles and answers in a small voice.
"Yes, she is so pretty"
(Yes, it's so pretty.)
A genuinely happy smile appeared on Taehyung's face after receiving a positive answer.
The gaze that the female protagonist saw was directed at herself, not the model.
I didn't know that the person receiving those gazes was me.
