[At the hotel lobby. Iâll come up soon!]
After sending a text message, the reply arrived right away.
[Yes! Okay.]
It seemed that Inseopâs urgent voice could be heard in the text message. Lee Wooyeon had arrived at the hotel early. He sent a text message shortly after confirming that Inseop had entered the elevator.
Lee Wooyeon got into the elevator and pressed the floor of the room with his card.
He doesnât want to live here.
If heâs homesick, it was okay for him to take a few flights to the United States, but this was a completely different matter. It was also something he hadnât even thought about.
Lee Wooyeon crossed his arms and tapped the other arm with his fingers. It reminded him of what Manager Cha said about how anxious he would be if the other person was him. That wasnât entirely wrong. If he thinks about it, even he would not believe himself.
Would you rather stay together in the US for a while? ..no.
Lee Wooyeon clicked his tongue.
It was a good way to overcome Inseopâs anxiety, but it was also the most dangerous way. Filled with love, Inseopâs family was useless to the point of being wonderful. Inseop, a childish and lonely person, had to limit himself to the only person he could rely on. In this situation, if he lets him meet his family, it could be an opportunity for him to settle down in the United States.
Then what should he do?
Suddenly, the elevator arrived at the floor. Even as he walked down the hallway, Lee Wooyeon kept trying to figure out the thoughts in his head, but no answer came. He felt shitty. When he opened the door with the card key and went in, he was startled and saw Inseop sitting on the sofa from the back.
âIâm here.â
Lee Wooyeon deliberately announced his presence out loud.
âAh. You came?â
Inseopâs clothes were neatly folded on the table.
âThey brought me the laundry earlier.â
When Lee Wooyeon gazed at the clothes, Choi Inseop muttered something like an excuse. He had told them not to bring in the laundry until he asked for it. He didnât know that Inseop, who always hid even when he ordered a meal through room service, would call and ask for laundry.
Sometimes heâs uselessly good at acting. Itâs annoying.
Lee Wooyeon tilted his head and looked at Inseop, then stretched out his hand.
ââ¦!â
âWhy are you dressed like this? Youâll catch a cold.â
Inseop hadnât even properly adjusted the hem of his bathrobe, as if he had changed his clothes in a hurry when he heard Lee Wooyeon was coming.
âIâm sorry.â
When Lee Wooyeon meticulously tied the laces of his gown, Inseop was nervous and did not know what to do.
âWhat is that?â
âWhat is it?â
Wooyeon pointed at his feet. It was only then that Inseop realized that he hadnât taken off his socks.
âAh, I, I put on my socks because my feet were coldâ¦â
If he entered a lying contest, he would be eliminated without even reaching the threshold of the preliminary round. Lee Wooyeon looked at Inseop blankly and then hugged him.
âWe-We have to leave now. Itâs almost time to check-out.â
âItâs okay. We can do a late check-out.â
Lee Wooyeon held Inseop in his arms and took him to bed. Then, without saying a word, he hugged Inseop and buried his face in his chest. Acting uncharacteristically for Lee Wooyeon, Inseop said,
âHey, whatâs wrong?â
âNothing.â
Inseop hesitantly stroked Lee Wooyeonâs hair
Having watched and experienced Lee Wooyeonâs stamina from the side, the person who knew the best was Choi Inseop. Even so, Inseop worried about Lee Wooyeon without a doubt when he said that it was difficult.
He doesnât even remember hearing his mother ask him where it hurts. Even though he knew what a terrible monster Lee Wooyeon was, Inseop hugged him without hesitation every time.
âI? must be a bit tired.â
âShouldnât you take some medicine? Shall we go to the hospital?â
âI think Iâll be okay if I do this.â
Lee Wooyeon held Inseopâs arm tighter. Inseop looked at Lee Wooyeonâs face and looked worried. Lee Wooyeon called him in a low voice, âInseop.â Inseop patted Lee Wooyeonâs head with a careful touch, as if dealing with a fragile artifact.
âLet me know if it hurts a lot. Iâll take you to the hospital.â
Lee Wooyeon nodded.
At that time, Inseopâs socks, which were worn unevenly, caught his eye. The irritation, which had been so intense, was all at once relieved. There was a laugh.
âShall we continue what we were talking about?â
âWhat are you talking about?â
âWe decided to finish talking about how much I like Inseop.â
âUhm, did we?â
âActually, I hate it when someone touches my hair.â
Inseopâs hand, which was stroking his head, paused. Lee Wooyeon put his head in Inseopâs hand as if asking him to continue.
ââ¦you said you didnât like it.â
âI donât like anyone else. So keep⦠touching me.â
Inseop moved his hand back and swept Lee Wooyeonâs hair.
Lee Wooyeon closed his eyes while hugging Inseopâs waist. He was not sure if his feelings were the love that ordinary people felt. No one can guarantee that this feeling will last forever.
But one thing was for sure.
âInseopâ.
Inseop answered yes to Lee Wooyeonâs call.
âWhere did you put your passport?ââ
He can never let someone else touch his hair.
Never.
???
âDid you bring your passport?â
âYes, I did.â
Inseop took out the brown envelope and held it out.
âWhat about your ID?â
âI put it all in there.â
Lee Woo-yeon asked for his passport and ID card under the pretext that he might go to overseas photo shoots soon.
âLet me know if you need any other documents. Iâll get it ready.â
Lee Wooyeon smiled softly, facing his clear eyes. Inseop was a person who would give up his heart if Lee Wooyeon said he needed it. No, heâd add that he should be careful not to fall down while giving his heart.
âIf you need any documents, Iâll tell you then.â
Lee Wooyeon thought that he should keep the document envelope handed over by Inseop in the safe for the time being.
âThen Iâll start.â
Inseop turned the steering wheel. Today was not an official schedule, so he drove Lee Wooyeonâs car without using the bus. Sitting in the passenger seat, Lee Wooyeon leaned by the window and stared at Inseop.
âIs something wrong?â
âIâm looking at you. Canât I do that?â
âDonât say that outsideâ¦â
âItâs not outside. Itâs just in the car. Whoâs watching?â
âYou should always be careful. Just in case.â
Inseop closed his lips and made a serious look. Lee Wooyeon thought that the scandal with him seemed to play a role in Inseopâs anxiety and stress.
âOkay. Iâll do as Inseop says.â
Inseop glanced curiously at Lee Wooyeon, who answered calmly unlike usual.
âWhy?â
This time, Lee Wooyeon asked.
âNo. Are you still tired?â
Lee Wooyeon burst into laughter.
Shit. Heâs so cute.
âIâm not tired.â
Lee Wooyeon smiled happily as he immediately stopped the car and swallowed his desire to put his cock between Inseopâs crotch.
âIâm glad. I was worried a lot,â
Inseop changed lanes by checking the rearview mirror.
âOh, Iâm so happy when Inseop worries about me.â
Lee Wooyeon leaned his head on the passenger seat and said.
âItâs better not to worry.â
He pretended to be serious, but Inseopâs red neck was seen through his shirt. He put his finger between his shirt and neck and asked if it was hot.
âItâs all right. Itâs dangerous while driving, so donât mess around,â
Inseop said, quickly adjusting his shirt collar. Lee Wooyeon withdrew his hand while he was trying to tell him that he was joking. He folded his arms and closed his eyes.
âDo you want me to wake you up when I arrive?â
âIâm not sleepingâ.
Lee Wooyeon answered with his eyes open.
âGo to sleep. What if youâre tired again? You have two schedules today.â
If an actor did not have work, there was no schedule enough to call it a break period. However, when he entered a production or a movie was shown, he would be very busy.
âItâs like having two interviews
âHave you read the expected question I sent you yesterday?â
Inseop e-mailed Lee Wooyeon with an interpretation of the movie and an explanation of the character in detail enough to write a thesis. Lee Wooyeon smiled silently at the managerâs sincerity.
It was surprising to see Inseop believing that the interviewers would be genuinely curious about it. The question to be asked today was obvious. âHow did you meet Chae Yeon-seo, how did you go out with her, and a word to her.â
âYes, Iâve read it. Itâll help you a lot.â
âI hope so. Take a nap. Iâll wake you up in 20 minutes.â
He couldnât sleep, but when Inseop told him to, Lee Wooyeon closed his eyes again. Twenty minutes later, when he arrived at a cafe in Pangyo, Inseop stopped the car.
âWeâve arrived.â
Lee Wooyeon deliberately didnât open his eyes because he liked the way he gently shook him.
âWeâre here, Mr. Wooyeon.⦠Are you sleeping?â
âYes, Iâm sleeping.â
Lee Wooyeon answered with his eyes closed. Lee Wooyeon opened his eyes while Inseop was thinking about how to respond to his pranks. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDonât you know how to wake up Sleeping Beauty?ââ
â⦠If youâre awake, hurry up and go.â
Although Beauty was a noun referring to women, Inseop thought that it was not unreasonable to attach it to Lee Wooyeon. Lee Wooyeon laughed and removed his safety belt. As he was leaving the car, he turned his head when Inseop did not move.
âDonât you want to go with me?â
âIâll wait in the car.â
âWait inside the cafe. Why wait in the car? Itâs difficult.â
âItâs all right. Hurry up and come back.â
Again.
Even though he knew Inseop drew a subtle line, Lee Wooyeon doesnât say anything.
He nodded.
âCall me if you have something to do.â
âYes.â
Lee Wooyeon closed the car door and disappeared.
