âItâs a sculpture, a sculpture. Oh, my God, I guess youâve been working out more latelyâ
As soon as he saw Lee Wooyeon in a dark navy suit, coach Ma Jinyoung fussed and admired him. He was a director known for his eccentricity, and word was that no matter how famous a photo model was, he would use all kinds of abusive language if he didnât like it.
âThank you. I look forward to your kind cooperation.â
When Lee Wooyeon greeted him with a gentle smile, the faces of not only the director but also the female staff around him turned bright.
âWhen Lee Wooyeon first walked into our office, I thought he was crazy at first. He was dressed badly, and his hair was wild. So I called the guard to kick him out, ha, Iâm crazy. I shouldnât have seen his face then.â
It was the 18th glass of drunken CEO Kim Seunghak. CEO Kim said this every time and emptied the glass at once.
âIt was perfect.â
He muttered the word with the most unhappy face in the world and began to drink again.
It was perfect. Inseop quietly pondered on the words by himself. Lee Wooyeon, dressed from head to toe, was perfect. Their eyes met. Wooyeon gave Inseop an eye smile. He quickly lowered his gaze. He tried to maintain a blank expression by pinching his thighs in case he would smile without realizing. Lee Wooyeon glanced at Inseop, swallowed his laughter, and began to discuss todayâs concept with the director.
Choi Inseop looked around, rubbing his tingling thighs.
âWho was the female model?â
Inseop also perked his ears because he had been curious about it for a while. The people at the door began to mutter before the answer came back. His eyes naturally turned toward it. Inseop, who casually turned his head, gasped.
Rich platinum blonde hair, green eyes, and a perfectly proportioned face made him feel like she was a fairy from a fairy tale rather than a person. The sensuous body, narrowly covered by a black slip dress, was dizzying.
ââ¦Itâs not a human being, itâs an elf, an elf.â
âSheâs really pretty. Look at the length of her legsâ
Inseop blinked his big eyes a couple of times. He didnât expect a foreign model to come. She was quite famous. Naima Kempman. Even to Inseop, who was an outsider, she was a model he had heard of.
Before he knew it, the two were greeting each other and talking naturally.
âLee Wooyeon speaks English very well.â
âJust like a native speaker.â
âWhy, you know what? Rumor is that Lee Wooyeon is an illegitimate child of a famous foreign conglomerate familyâ¦â
The staff whispered in a small voice as if they were conscious of Lee Wooyeonâs manager standing next to them.
Lee Wooyeon studied foreign languages hard for his work. The rumor was not true. Normally, he would have responded to rumors according to the manual given as a manager. However, Inseop could not say anything when he heard the obvious murmur. Inseop watched Lee Wooyeon on the scene after a long time.
âBut the two look good together.â
âI know. Usually, pictures donât sell when itâs with a foreign model.â
No matter how good a man and a beautiful woman were, it was difficult for Asians and Westerners to harmonize with each other. There is a subtle sense of incongruity not only from differences in appearance, but also from cultural differences such as attitude and gestures. In severe cases, it even felt like a man and a woman were photographed separately and synthesized. So advertisers would model the same race as possible. It was not racism, but because consumers often perceive the heterogeneity as unsophisticated. In short, it was a combination that had to be taken well.
âYou should know that Lee Woo-yeonâs chemistry is saved.â
âEven if he takes a picture with a doll, there will be chemistry.â
He heard a laugh.
People whispered as if they were watching a rare scene, but it was a familiar scene for Inseop. He even felt like he went back to those days in his memory. Lee Wooyeon was recognized as a distant being.
His heart throbbed. Oh, he definitely took his medicine before he came out. Inseop was able to be in physical condition by carefully pressing near the heart with his palm. Perhaps it was just a passing pain, but the heart quickly returned to its usual state.
Filming has begun.
âOkay, get closer, thatâs right. Thatâs great. Thatâs all right. I like your eyes and poseâ
Coach Ma Jinyoung, who was known to be picky in the industry, only shouted, âItâs good.â Lee Wooyeon skillfully led the female model and continued filming. It was a friendly atmosphere throughout the shoot. The two talked so affectionately that it was hard to believe that they met for the first time today. In particular, the female model openly expressed her favor with Lee Wooyeon.
âMr. Lee Woo-yeon, what if there is a scandal? The manager should keep an eye on him.â
A lighting staff member standing next to him joked with In-seop.
âLetâs do thatâ
âManager must be tired. Everything will be a scandal for a famous and handsome celebrity like this actor. The women will be in line.â
âHahaâ¦â
Inseop smiled awkwardly and hesitated.
What the lighting staff said was actually true. Lee Wooyeon always had women who stood in line.
In restaurants, department stores, and even when the two of them went to Milan. Women showed up for him without breathing. It was the first time he learned that women can be so active in expressing theri? mind.
âIs Lee Wooyeon dating someone? I saw in the last article that you had a secret late-night date with Ms. S. The Y in the initial article was Lee Wooyeon, right?â
âMiss S or X, itâs not me, so donât worry about that crap. I donât even have enough time to talk to Inseop late at night. Who would I meet?â
Lee Wooyeonâs voice, which was whispering affectionately, seemed to be heard in his ears.
Inseop shook his head with his face down to hide his puffy cheeks.
âHey, how can you ask that to the manager? Would he be honest with you?â
âHahahaha. Is that so?â
As soon as the person who started the rumor was about to say that Lee Wooyeon would never,
âWow, look at that.â
Someone whispered in an admiring voice. Inseop raised his head to look.
Lee Wooyeon was holding the female model from behind and burying his face around her neck. The dress cloth became tight due to the tightly hugged arms, revealing the modelâs chest shape. Even though they knew they shouldnât, they were all instinctively attracted to the female model.
But.
..
A dark blue suit and white shirt, a watch visible through the sinewy wrists, and a beautifully shaped hand. And the face of a man smiling gracefully.
Choi Inseop was inadvertently distracted by that man.
His mouth was dry and irritated. He swallowed without realizing it.
âHahaha. Manager, did you just swallow your saliva? You look so calm.â
âHey, itâs natural for a man.â
âHey, be quiet.â
The camera director shouted angrily. Lee Wooyeon and the modelâs eyes naturally turned toward Inseop. Their eyes met. Inseop quickly turned his head. Did he hear that?
âWooyeon, I liked that pose just now. You can hug her more tightly. Heâs so sexy in a suit right now. Try to be more wild.â
The camera shutter sound continued constantly.
âWell, Iâd like toâ¦Iâll be back.â
Inseop, muttering to no one in particular, left in a hurry.
His heart thumped and his face flushed. He was embarrassed because he felt like he had caught his greed. He wanted to hide in a mouse hole. As he was walking across the corridor, he saw a sign saying âEmergency Exit.â Inseop went straight to the emergency exit.
âAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhâ
He tore his hair as he sat down in a crumbling position.
âIdiot, idiotâ¦Ha. Iâm crazy.â
Manager is disqualified. There was no such thing as a crazy human being who swallowed his saliva while watching the celebrity he was managing.
ââ¦I want to die.â
Inseop muttered, looking down at the iron stairs lonely.
There was no way that Lee Wooyeon didnât hear it. What should he say? How can he make an excuse to move on? Should he say that he drooled? Or should he say that it was because he thought of the lemon pie that his grandmother used to bake?â¦Lemon pie would be more realistic, right?
While Inseop was walking, holding his head, the iron door opened.
âUh? Lee Wooyeonâs manager. Why are you doing that there?â
The staff rushed in. Inseop jumped up from his seat.
âOh, itâs just⦠â
While looking at Lee Wooyeon, he swallowed his saliva without realizing it, and he ran away because he thought he was caughtâ¦. he couldnât say that. Inseopâs eyes, who was desperately looking for excuses, looked at a can placed in a corner with cigarette butts piled up.
âI, Iâm going to smoke a cigarette.â
âManager, do you smoke? Thatâs unexpected. We also came to smoke one because itâs a break.â
âI know. I didnât think he could drink or smoke at all. When I first saw him, I thought he was a high school student. I was surprised to hear that you are Lee Wooyeonâs manager.â
âIâm good at drinking and smoking. Iâm good at it because Iâve been doing it for a long time.â
He couldnât drink or smoke, but he had to get over this situation naturally for now.
âBut why arenât you smoking?â
.
âI left my cigarette in the car.â
Inseop replied, gently pressing one chest with his hand. His conscience flinched when he remembered his motherâs voice telling him not to go back to Korea and cheat on someone. A staff member with a mustache handed Inseop a cigarette.
âHave a smoke. You donât have to pay me back.
âOh, look, thank you. ··â
Inseop took a cigarette by surprise. The man standing opposite lit the fire. Inseop politely held a cigarette with both hands and lit it.
âDonât you think the shoot will end earlier than you think?ââ
âI know. Iâve never seen that devil say that heâs so good throughout the shoot.â
The devil was director Ma Jinyoungâs nickname. When shooting advertisements or pictorials, it was also important to understand the directorâs tendency, so personality was always investigated in advance.
Inseop tried to blend in with peopleâs conversations, nodding next to them with a cigarette.
âLee Wooyeon is so good at this. He was leading the shooting today. Uh, Iâm sorry. His manager is next to us.â
âNo, itâs okay. Speak comfortably.â
It was the practice of this industry to be respected as an actor in the front, but to be called only by name in the back.
âBut the manager isnât smoking?â
âWhat? Oh, yes.â
Inseop answered in surprise when he found a cigarette in his hand. The staffâs eyes were on Inseop.
What should he do?
Heâd never tasted a single smoke. Only once, Jennie brought an unknown butt and took a sip of it, saying it was marijuana. Even then, I was lying down for an hour, feeling nauseous at a sip.
âIf youâre uncomfortable because of us, should we leave?ââ
âNo, itâs not like that. Itâs okay.â
If the manager was arrogant, even the celebrity in charge would be embroiled in a scandal. No other people was as sensitive to rumors as this.
He isnât going to die from just this
Inseop quickly held a cigarette in his mouth and breathed in. At the same time that the smoky cigarette smoke came into his throat.
âCough, coughâ¦â
Inseop coughed like crazy and coughed up the cigarette smoke. Not only his throat but also his nostrils were burning.
âAre you okay?â
Everyone looked at the young manager coughing with a bright red face with worried eyes. Inseop waved his hand like an adult and hinted that he was okay, but in fact, he was dying.
âCoug, cough. Iâm sorry.â
Large eyes with tears in them stimulated peopleâs sympathy. The man who gave the cigarette handed him a bottle of water in his hand. Inseop took the bottled water and tried to drink water, but the iron door opened again. Lee Wooyeon came in. With the unexpected appearance of the big star, everyone on the spot stopped moving.
It was the same for Inseop.
âHere you are. For a long timeâ¦â
Lee Woo-yeon stopped talking when his eyes met Inseop, who turned around. His eyes narrow. Inseop, who was better than anyone else at reading Lee Wooyeonâs expression, accurately read the feelings he felt at this moment.
He was mad.
Lee Wooyeonâs eyes were smiling but not smiling. According to CEO Kimâs expression, he was afraid to see them in his dream.
âI found you.â
Lee Wooyeon stepped closer to Inseop.
And then,
âBut why are you crying?â
His big hand held Inseopâs chin and lifted it. The words omitted later seemed to be only heard in Inseopâs ears.
Which son of a bitch made you cry?
âI didnât cry. While smokingâ¦â
Inseop lifted the cigarette in his hand, but the blue life that fluttered in Lee Wooyeonâs eyes rarely disappeared.
âThe manager smoked?ââ
âYeah, well, let me go to the bathroom for a minute.â
Inseop bowed his head and left. As soon as he closed the iron door, he ran along the corridor. Inseop quickly hid himself after discovering the warehouse where the equipment was piled up.
Heâs an adult and he just smoked at his free will. He knew it in his head, but his heart fluttered like a child caught doing something bad. He was sweating profusely.
âItâs the worst.â
He murmured and banged his head against the wall.
âWhatâs the worst?
âOh my god.â
Lee Wooyeon, who appeared without making a sound, was looking down at Inseop with a smile. Inseop was going to beg Lee Wooyeon to make some footstep sounds someday if he had a chance. It was really, really bad for the heart.
âYou said you were going to the bathroom. The bathroom is over there.â
âOh, yes. I need to talk to you for a second.â
âI thought you were seducing me because you said you were going to the bathroom and you were going to the other side.â
Lee Wooyeon smiled as he swept up Inseopâs sweaty hair.
Choi Inseop liked and loved Lee Wooyeon with all his heart, but sometimes he was genuinely scared.
âDid you finish the call?â
ââ¦Yes.â
Inseop dodged his gaze, answering vaguely.
âBy the way, Inseop.â
âYes.â
âDo you smoke?ââ
âWell, I thought Iâll just try smoking it. Everyone was smoking, so I thought they usually do.â
Lee Wooyeon pulled his lips and laughed. Then he reached out and took away the cigarette Inseop was holding. Lee Wooyeon breathed heavily with a cigarette in his mouth. The sound of the cigarette burning split the quiet air. Cigarette smoke flowed out of the lips of Lee Wooyeon. There was no pictorial even though he was only smoking.
âYou usually smoke a lot.â
ââ¦âYesâ
He didnât do anything wrong. He didnât do anything wrong.
Although he was constantly repeating to himself, Choi Inseop unconsciously looked back and confirmed his retreat. Lee Wooyeon smiled low at Inseop.
âDonât smoke things like this.â
A drowsy and sweet voice gently admonishes Inseop. Then, he lowered his head and whispered in Inseopâs ear.
âItâs not like Iâm going to eat normal peopleâs shit.â
âWhat?!â
Inseop doubted his ears for the contextless obscene rumors. Lee Wooyeon continued with a smile.
âIf you smoke something like this, your semen tastes like shit.â
Then he rubbed the cigarette against the wall and bent it. Inseop held his breath with a start as if the cigarette fire had touched his skin.
Inseopâs semen is delicious, but itâs a waste.â
ââ¦thank youâ¦â
Inseop received praise from Lee Wooyeon, who was close to violence, with his bright red face down. Lee Wooyeon relaxedly appreciated his helplessness because he couldnât decide whether it was right to say thank you.
Cute and pitiful. Such a part was mercilessly struck by Lee Wooyeonâs taste.
Fuck, he wanted to do aal sorts of things.
Lee Wooyeon swallowed the curse inside and bent down to Inseopâs lips lightly and kissed him.
âSomeone would see..â.
âDonât worry. Iâm going to dig a hole in their eyes.â
Lee Wooyeon bit Inseopâs lower lip and whispered. Inseop shook his head desperately.
âYouâll be in trouble. You canât.â
Inseop, who did not do so at all, pushed Lee Wooyeon with strength. It was a humble force, but Lee Wooyeon stepped back.
âIâm sorry.â
Lee Wooyeon bent his eyebrows at Inseopâs sudden apology.
âItâs my first day, and I think Iâve only caused you trouble. It bothers meâ¦â
It was a different meaning, but it really bothered him. Throughout the filming with the female model, Lee Wooyeon was looking at Inseop. Inseop, who tried to act as a manager pretending to be normal, was scared whenever he touched the woman, and his lower part was tingling because he was being so cute. The reason why he suggested to the filming director to take a break was because he thought about taking Inseop to a corner and taking a step back.
âI guess Iâm not used to it yet.â
He seemed to have a drooping tail and ears that didnât exist.
It was not that Lee Wooyeon had no sympathy at all. Compared to the level that others felt, the feeling was only minimal. Lee Wooyeon decided to change the subject by generously using the feelings that were not long to Inseop.
âDo you like me that much, by the way? Enough to make you drool?â
Inseop blinked in surprise at Lee Wooyeonâs sudden attack. He came to his senses closely, saying, âItâs not that Iâm drooling,â and making excuses in a crawling voice.
Lee Wooyeon noticed Inseop, who was looking his way with rapture throughout the filming. The gaze of a boy-like love affair in front of his crush attracted his taste. When he heard the sound of him swallowing, he almost had an erection during the shoot. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Fuck, he looked so cute when he ate him.
Lee Wooyeon continued his pursuit while looking at Inseop.
âNo, not to me. Are you gulping your saliva for the girl next to me?â
âNo!â
Like a fish poured into hot water, Inseop jumped up and down
He refuted it.
âThen youâre drooling for someone else.â
âLemon Pie: â¦â
âLemon pie? Who is it?â
He asked with a smile, but Lee Wooyeonâs voice was fierce. This was the Lee Wooyeon, who also said he wanted to twist his neck from time to time to plant Kate.
Lee Wooyeon was so jealous that he looked so indifferent to the world. Inseop knew that if he did not give a proper answer here, he would not be able to go home alive today.
âLee Wooyeon. I drooled when I saw Lee Wooyeon. Iâm sorry if I offended you.â
Inseop chose to be honest. Shame will follow, but through one experience or another, he concluded that this was for the better.
Lee Woo-eon smiled lightly, brushing Inseopâs head.
âOkay. Since youâve been honest with me, Iâll give you something delicious after the photo shoot as a prize.ââ
â⦠yes.â
The manâs words to feed him delicious food didnât sound straightforward. It was beyond redemption, really. Inseopâs face turned red and rubbed his cheek with the back of his hand.
âI should get going now.â
Lee Wooyeon checked his watch. He heard that his watch today was worth a house, not a car. Even with such a watch in front of him, Inseop found himself casually looking at the manâs wrist, not the watch.
â¦He shouldnât keep looking at him like this. He would be disqualified as a manager.
Lee Wooyeon, who saw Inseopâs eyes drooping, clicked his tongue.
âInseop.â
âWhat?â
âWill you do me a favor?â
âYes!â
Inseopâs eyes sparkled at the thought that he could help him.
