“It’s delicious.”
And naturally, the most surprised person here was Wonyoung.
“Heegang, why are you…… Is this your filming location?”
“Yeah.”
“Then the coffee too?”
“Yeah.”
Heegang answered meekly and took out the only hot chocolate latte from the order and placed it in Wonyoung’s hand.
“This one’s for our Rae.”
“No no no, wait wait wait.”
Wonyoung, who received the hot chocolate latte in a daze, belatedly came to his senses.
“We promised not to interfere when working.”
“Was I interfering?”
At Heegang tilting his head and asking, Wonyoung became tongue-tied. Today’s Heegang, who was even wearing makeup for filming, was so handsome he looked beautiful.
“I just ordered coffee for my colleagues and staff. You told me not to come to the cafe, you didn’t say anything else besides that.”
Moreover, Heegang’s claim certainly wasn’t wrong. It was a bit forced, but logically there were no flaws. However, Wonyoung stared blankly at Heegang, feeling thoroughly deceived.
Then Heegang drooped his eyebrows and asked.
“Are you angry?”
“No, if you ask like that again, what does that make me…….”
“Then you’re not angry?”
Seeing Heegang smile brightly, Wonyoung, who had been dazed, let out a ‘hah’ sigh.
“……Fine, I lose.”
But then someone’s hand reached over and picked up a coffee.
“Ah, so you two know each other?”
“Ah.”
It was an actor Wonyoung had seen several times on TV. Indeed, actors are different…… Wonyoung admired his real-life appearance and bowed in greeting.
“Ah, hello. I’m Heegang’s friend Narae…….”
But his greeting was soon blocked by a broad back and couldn’t continue to the end. When the flustered Wonyoung raised his head, he saw Heegang standing with his back to him.
“Could you just leave? We’re kind of busy right now.”
“Ha, this is ridiculous. I just got here?”
“That’s why I’m telling you to leave, right now.”
What what, why is this guy picking a fight with a senior actor? The startled Wonyoung pulled Heegang back.
“Hey, what’s wrong with you? Are you crazy?”
A warning appeared, but that wasn’t important right now. Wasn’t he causing insubordination in front of so many watching eyes?
However, even with Wonyoung’s restraint, Heegang retorted with a completely hostile attitude.
“Rae, you should go.”
“Hey, why are you like this? Since I’m here, I’ll watch you act too…….”
“That person has a lot of scandals. He’s a dirty human being.”
“You’re saying that outright?”
The senior actor shot back as if absurd. Wonyoung was equally flustered. It was somewhat new to see this kid who was always either relaxed or full of madness acting like this.
Wonyoung rummaged for something in the car, then approached Heegang who was still bristling and firmly placed something in his hand. Heegang’s expression softened a bit after checking what was in his hand.
“It’s a hand warmer. You’re sensitive right now because you’re cold. I was using it, but I’ll give it to you.”
“…….”
While Heegang hesitated, Wonyoung offered an apology to the senior actor standing opposite.
“And excuse me, Actor-nim. Our Heegang isn’t usually like this, but since I’m a civilian, I think he was a bit sensitive. I hope you weren’t offended.”
“Thanks for saying that. Then do you want to exchange contact information with me?”
[Aah……. (hesitates)]
[Quietly stares at Heegang.]
Wonyoung frowned at the choices that appeared before his eyes. Well, the times he didn’t frown at choices could be counted on one hand, but this was really like a fool. Does Narae have no sense of self?
‘I’m not Narae.’
Normally, he might have cursed and moved on. But recently, Wonyoung wanted to find his own identity, not Narae’s, and he felt that relying on Heegang wouldn’t be good considering the affection level. Now wasn’t the time to raise affection levels.
‘If I act like Heo Wonyoung, the affection level will drop too.’
Wonyoung judged so and chose the bottom choice. And while quietly staring at Heegang, he said to the senior actor with his mouth.
“No. I’ll decline.”
“…….”
Well, the choice only said to stare at Heegang, it didn’t say not to answer. He might look a bit cross-eyed, but by now Wonyoung wasn’t even embarrassed by most things.
“Hmm, are you reading your lover’s mood? Aren’t you talking while looking too much in that direction?”
To the senior actor’s somewhat mocking question, Wonyoung answered firmly.
“I’m saying this to Heegang too. I reject such petty methods, Baek Heegang.”
“I’m not scared at all of being hated by you.”
“Oh, me neither.”
“…….”
Then hearts gushed out from Heegang who had closed his mouth for a moment.
‘Ah, why?!’
Naturally, Wonyoung wasn’t happy at all. Especially since Baek Heegang was approaching 700. If it went up any more, who knew what ending route it would lead to. However, Wonyoung wasn’t given a chance to handle the current situation.
[This is a statement unsuitable for the character. A penalty is given at 3 warnings.]
[Penalty Level 1 ‘Lucky Pervert’ is activated.]
‘No!’
Along with the notification window that appeared as if they’d been very lenient, a refreshing sneeze came out of Wonyoung’s mouth.
“Achoo!”
And the hot chocolate latte he was holding in his hand splashed right onto his clothes.
“Aaaah!”
“Rae!”
“Oh my.”
Unlike the senior actor who quickly dodged in case it splashed, Heegang promptly approached and took out a handkerchief to wipe Wonyoung’s clothes. Wonyoung grumbled with his eyebrows scrunched up.
“Ah, seriously, it got all wet inside too…….”
“Really? Where?”
Heegang put his hand inside Wonyoung’s sweater with a serious face. Wonyoung belatedly realized that everyone’s eyes were focused on them and was horrified.
“Hey, hey, I’m fine!”
“If you stay like this, you’ll catch a cold from being cold. You can’t eat hot things so I deliberately ordered something cold, but I’m sorry. The cinnamon from the start too…….”
“No, everyone’s watching!”
“Then let’s go to the van.”
Then the senior actor made an ‘oooh’ mouth shape and smiled lewdly. I really want to hit that person!
“You don’t have clothes to change into, right? I have spare clothes. Let’s go quickly.”
If I get dragged along like this, the affection level will rise…… After thinking, Wonyoung shut his eyes tight and shouted.
“That’s a bit much! You probably prepared clothes in my size again……. Forget it and let me go.”
“……Rae.”
He couldn’t bear to face Heegang. When Wonyoung didn’t know what to do, an unexpected person spoke up.
“Then would you like to come to my van? Of course, Heegang hoobae-nim can come too.”
It was Heegang’s senior actor. He smiled good-naturedly and pointed in the direction where the van was parked.
“It’s right there.”
“…….”
When Wonyoung hesitated, Heegang pulled his hand.
“Let’s at least go there. Okay?”
Well, wouldn’t it be okay if it’s not just the two of us……? Defeated by Heegang’s face today too, Wonyoung thought alone while being dragged along.
Soon when they reached the van, the senior actor held out a shirt.
“Here, change into this. This is the only spare I have. We’ll all be outside so don’t worry.”
“Thank you.”
“Let’s go, hoobae-nim.”
“…….”
Fortunately, Heegang obediently left with his senior. Wonyoung took off the wet sweater and changed into the shirt. It was a bit chilly, but he’d be getting in the car soon, and if he wore the coat he left in the car, it would somehow be okay.
‘It seems a bit big though.’
The sleeves were a bit bothersome, but there was no choice due to the difference in build. Wonyoung opened the van door without much thought.
“I’m done changing.”
“Wow.”
“Rae.”
However, as soon as he opened the door, along with the senior actor’s interested exclamation, Heegang hurriedly approached and covered Wonyoung with his coat.
“Rae, you really.”
“No, why…….”
To Wonyoung who didn’t understand, the senior actor asked with a smile.
“Didn’t you look in the mirror?”
“Is there a mirror?”
“Of course. Would an actor’s van not have one? It’s right there.”
Looking where the senior actor pointed, there really was a mirror. Only then did Wonyoung see his reflection in the mirror and almost slapped his forehead.
What is this seductive appearance?
The shirt he was wearing not only revealed his collarbone but even somehow showed the silhouette inside. Needless to say, the long sleeves became the cute sleeves that Wonyoung detested. Wonyoung was dumbfounded. Even in BL games, this would be CG material.
“Did you give me this kind of clothes on purpose?”
When Heegang asked accusingly instead of Wonyoung, the senior actor shrugged his shoulders.
Heegang, completely furious, wrapped Wonyoung tightly in the coat and dragged him out of the van.
“Stay right here. Don’t go anywhere. They all know anyway.”
“……Okay.”
“Senior-nim, please come with me too.”
“Oh my, how scary. Alright.”
After seeing off the departing Heegang and senior actor, Wonyoung was waiting for them to return in a state of nothingness, when footsteps were heard not long after. When he raised his head, the senior actor was standing there with a grinning smile.
“What about Heegang?”
“I ditched him.”
“…….”
When Wonyoung took a step back with a wary expression, he laughed loudly and waved his hand.
“Ah, I won’t do anything. You’re pretty, but you’re not my type.”
“Ah, yes, you’re not mine either.”
At Wonyoung’s indifferent response, he laughed even louder. What’s so funny? It was to the point of regretting admiring his real-life appearance earlier.
“It’s funny to see Heegang hoobae-nim, who’s usually not even like a person, floundering. When hoobae-nim had a scandal before, I took that partner.”
A scandal? Wonyoung’s brow twitched for a moment, then he asked back without much reaction.
“……Why are you telling me that?”
“To make you feel bad?”
“I don’t feel bad.”
Who is Baek Heegang? A self-and-other certified Narae stalker. In his world, there’s only Narae. ‘Heo Wonyoung’ knew that fact well. But the other’s provocation didn’t stop.
“Then how about this? I’m interested in Heegang hoobae-nim.”
“…….”
“The reason I fooled around with that scandal partner back then was also because I wanted Heegang hoobae-nim’s attention.”
