I'm not a private person!
It's okay, it's fine
Inside the production company that arrived like that.
???
"Huh? Can I change something that's already been produced?"
The production company employee asked with a puzzled expression. Woozi spoke with a desperate look in his eyes.
우지(지훈)
"I'm truly sorry. I sent it to the wrong address... We will pay the full commission for the amount already produced. Please."
???
"Oh, really..."
After much thought, the production company employee made a phone call and talked for a few minutes.
And then he came back and took a deep breath and said.
???
"Haa... Fortunately, it hasn't been long since it was shared. We can retrieve what's been produced so far and start over."
우지(지훈)
"Thank you so much! Really!"
Wooji bowed repeatedly in greeting. Kyo-eun bowed alongside him.
???
"I will process the fee as an invoice and send it to the company."
우지(지훈)
"Yes, I understand. Thank you very much."
After greeting each other, the two left the production company and headed to the parking lot where they had parked their car.
하교은
"...Wooji-sama, I'm truly sorry. Because of me..."
Kyo-eun repeatedly bowed her head as she stepped out into the parking lot. Her lips were tightly clenched, and she looked as if she was about to burst into tears.
Wooji looked at Kyo-eun and spoke softly.
우지(지훈)
"Ms. Kyo-eun, we handled it well. It's okay, so stop apologizing now."
Kyo-eun finally burst out laughing at his affectionate smile.
하교은
"Ugh...ugh...sob...still, it's my fault...ugh..."
Kyo-eun covered her face with both hands and wiped away her tears, but the tears did not stop pouring down.
Wooji approached silently and carefully lifted Kyo-eun's face with his hand. His warm hand touched Kyo-eun's cheek.
And he slowly wiped Kyo-eun's cheek with his thumb.
우지(지훈)
"It's okay. Everything worked out fine. Okay...?"
The distance has become closer. The space has become so narrow that we can feel each other's breath.
Kyo-eun's heart pounded, as if she could barely breathe. A still air flowed between them, as if time itself had stopped.
Kyo-eun opened her eyes wide in confusion and quickly stepped back.
하교은
"Uh.!! Uh, uh, uh, uh... Uh, I have to go to the bathroom!!"
우지(지훈)
"Uh, ah... Yes, yes... Have a nice day..."
Woozi gestured slightly flustered.
Kyo-eun ran off to the bathroom, leaving Woo-ji behind, who stood there for a while with a blank expression.
우지(지훈)
"...Ah, oh... why is this happening, really..."
Woozi tapped his chest and took a slow breath. Really, how did it end up like this?
***
Late evening at Kyo-eun's house.
Inside the quiet house. Kyo-eun put down her bag and leaned against the door, letting out a deep breath.
하교은
"Huh... ha..."
My heart was still pounding. My fingertips kept trembling.
하교은
"What the hell is this, why is it like this..."
Kyo-eun muttered, lightly wiping her face with the back of her hand.
When we first met, it was the worst relationship that started with a lawsuit.
however
하교은
".....uh?"
At that moment, Kyo-eun held her breath as a dizzying feeling surged from her chest.
하교은
'Could it be that I... have come to like Mr. Wooji...?'
As soon as I realized it, my heart started pounding like crazy. My breathing became rapid, and my mind went blank.
The moment our eyes met, the moment our fingertips brushed against each other, the whole scene flashed before my eyes like a panorama.
하교은
"...But, Woozi is a famous idol..."
Kyo-eun bowed her head deeply. A person I couldn't even dare approach. A person I couldn't even fully love.
하교은
"I'm in real trouble..."
It was a thrill I hadn't felt in a while, but the fact that it had to end before it even started made it even more thrilling.
Like that, Kyo-eun's night, quietly closing her eyes and swallowing it inside, was terribly long.
