The strong wind advisory had changed to a strong wind warning as the meteorological agency had predicted. On top of that, sudden heavy snow advisory by region? One more critical matter had been added.
Strong winds and heavy snow. He saw it on the way here, but the first snow that fell in this area a few days ago hadn’t completely melted yet. At least the roads were cleanly cleared of snow, but with the frozen snow remaining on the mountain slopes, if heavy snow fell on top of this, the return trip would clearly be more treacherous.
“How long is he planning to stay?”
He thought they would look around appropriately and leave, but as he raised his head to inform Leo of this fact, who was actively involved in the filming, Hyedam hesitated and stepped back a few steps.
“It’s hard to greet you properly.”
“Ah, yes! Hello.”
“How is it?”
“Yes? What… what do you mean…”
“Anything. Whether you like the filming or the atmosphere of the filming location…”
Taewon, who had been in a meeting until just now, was standing right in front of him.
“It’s my first time at a filming location, so everything is fascinating.”
“Really? Then. Should I show you around the filming location? It takes some time to change the set.”
“Is there a lot of filming left?”
“As you well know, the client is very picky. I don’t know what else he doesn’t like, but if we’re delayed like this, we might have to stay up all night.”
Hyedam shrank his shoulders at his actions of glancing at Leo in the distance and whispering in his ear as if it were a very important secret.
The fresh scent of wildflowers seemed to envelop him completely for a moment. It seemed like it didn’t suit someone who was always heavy and silent, but when he saw his brightly smiling face, it was a scent that suited him too well. How did he choose a perfume that suited him so perfectly?
More than that, was Leo picky? He understood that his personality was unique, but he didn’t seem that picky.
With his ultimate bias right in front of him, Hyedam was looking at Leo in the distance and thinking random thoughts when he slightly frowned at Taewon’s continued words.
“It must be hard for you, right? Then. Please speak well to the picky client. I think he’ll listen well if it’s the secretary-nim’s words.”
Does that guy listen to me? What nonsense…
“It seems like you’ve known each other longer than I have, so then you must know he’s not someone who would listen to anyone’s words.”
Hyedam, unable to reveal the fan heart hidden deep in his heart toward the dominant alpha younger than him, spoke with as much courtesy as possible.
“I don’t think so. But our secretary-nim’s name is…”
“One moment.”
He thought he would be flustered and surprised when meeting his ultimate bias and unable to speak properly, but perhaps because he kept watching him filming from close distance, words came out more comfortably than expected.
He was more handsome than on screen, had a good body, and good personality. He always acted in taciturn and dark characters so he thought his actual personality would be like that too. To someone who spoke to him first and treated him friendly, Hyedam quickly handed over his business card.
“Your name is Lee Hyedam. You have a cool name too.”
Watching Taewon who called his name with a bright smile and even said it was cool, Hyedam stuck out the tip of his tongue to moisten his dry lips.
How should he brag to Junseok about meeting Han Taewon in person and having such an intimate private conversation? That bastard won’t believe it even if he tells him, how about taking a photo together somehow?
It was working hours, but wasn’t this small deviation okay? While Hyedam kept worrying about whether to ask to take a photo together or not and touched the mobile phone in his pocket, he was startled by the touch that grabbed his shoulder.
“Should we take a photo together?”
Huh? Photo? Uh. Yeah. I’m good with that, my phone is in my pocket but whose phone is that you’re holding out right now…
Hyedam’s eyes shook unstably as he raised his head along with Taewon’s action of wrapping his arm around his shoulder and holding up his phone high, as if he had read his mind.
“I’m taking it.”
Don’t people usually go to celebrities and ask them to take it? Hyedam, who took a photo with a dazed expression, then glanced at him who asked for his phone and took another photo in the same pose.
“Han Taewon. What are you doing here instead of filming?”
Hyedam, who was affectionately taking a photo in Taewon’s arms, frowned deeply as Taewon’s heavy arm that had been resting on his shoulder was removed and the fragrant flower scent disappeared.
“It’s break time.”
“That break time probably isn’t there for you to mess around. Aren’t you changing your outfit and makeup?”
He would have talked more with the director about filming, but Leo, who suddenly popped out, separated Hyedam from his ultimate bias and was intensely exuding strong coffee scent from beside him.
“It takes quite a while to change the set. I was trying to show Hyedam-ssi around here since it’s his first time at a filming location today.”
Hyedam, who ended up sandwiched between the two people who were much bigger than him, listened to their conversation taking place above his head and then took a step back to distance himself.
“Don’t worry about useless things and let’s focus on your work. Hyedam-ssi, let’s talk for a moment.”
Without even a chance to respond, Hyedam, who moved following Leo who grabbed his hand and led him, looked up at him who only let go of his hand after going to one corner of the set.
Aren’t they friends? When he saw Taewon speaking comfortably with a grin, they seemed like friends, but when he saw Leo with his sharp edge, it didn’t seem that way. Were they rivals? But there were many strange points to call them that.
What on earth are they competing over?
In any case, Hyedam, who felt empty from the disappearance of the hot warmth that hadn’t come close for a while but suddenly gripped his hand tightly, overlapped his held hand with his other hand.
“What is it?”
Standing crookedly with one hand on his waist, Leo’s expression looking down at him wasn’t very good. Since he called him but wasn’t speaking and was just making a deliberately serious expression, Hyedam, who was hesitating, opened his mouth first.
“A moment ago. The meteorological agency posted a forecast that snow may fall locally from late afternoon today. We won’t be able to fly drones on the way back either, so if we don’t want to return too late, we should probably leave in about an hour, what should we do?”
“Let’s watch until the next filming cut and leave.”
At Leo’s words, who brushed off both of his shoulders a couple times with a short sigh, Hyedam bowed his head slightly.
“Yes, I’ll proceed with that. But you said you had something to say earlier, may I ask what it was?”
“…Let’s talk later.”
Although his expression was better than at first, he still didn’t look in a good mood, so Hyedam looked at the snack corner on one side of the filming location.
Since it was filming that continued for a long time, food was prepared for the staff, but espresso wasn’t available.
“Should I prepare coffee?”
There was a cafe about 20 minutes away from here, so there was enough time to go out briefly and buy espresso and bread for him.
“It’s fine.”
Watching Leo’s back as he headed to the set first, leaving behind an indifferent remark, Hyedam slightly clenched his fist. If he hadn’t suddenly appeared, he would have talked more with Taewon, but he suddenly appeared and ruined everything. He looks in a bad mood so even when I offer to buy him coffee, he says no. He really was an incomprehensible guy.
Hyedam, who clicked his tongue full of complaints, turned his gaze to the newly prepared set as the atmosphere of the filming location changed in an instant.
“…”
Hyedam’s expression, which had been full of irritation and complaints, melted away completely and his dimples showed along with a faint smile.
When he asked Yujin how the continuity turned out, she only said it came out amazingly. If he was curious, see it later.
But…
Taewon, who appeared wearing jeans with the buttons undone, wasn’t even wearing a shirt. With perfect abs and iliac bones exposed precariously, Taewon was glaring at the camera in front of him as if he would devour it.
“This is it.”
Hyedam smiled brightly at his overflowing heart and nodded. Without needing to see more, this CF was unconditionally successful.
What’s the point if AI virtual humans appear? They can’t surpass real people, and no matter how perfectly they create it with graphics, they couldn’t bring this atmosphere to life completely.
If it were up to him, the jeans could be lowered a bit more, but that would really get caught in the ratings review, so smacking his lips alone in regret, Hyedam focused on the muscles moving flexibly like waves.
“…”
As if everyone’s hearts were the same, praises flowed from the mouths of the staff gathered in groups of three to five watching the filming. My ultimate bias is this amazing. Hyedam, who was feeling proud alone in his happiness, slightly shook his head when something quickly passed before his eyes.
“…”
When it passed once more, Hyedam, who hesitated, looked at Leo who was again beside him without a sound and was startled.
“Why are you so surprised?”
“Because you suddenly appeared…”
“Do you like it?”
“Yes.”
“…You like it?”
After saying he liked it according to his true feelings, at Leo’s words asking if he liked it instead, Hyedam slowly took his gaze away from Taewon and looked at him.
“We can definitely create buzz with the CF. The promotional effect seems like it will be more than expected.”
Hyedam, who spoke the truth with his personal feelings completely removed, had to turn around with tears in his eyes at Leo’s words to leave now. He wanted to stay alone and watch until the end, but work was work. And strangely, Leo had been continuously low-pressure today.
