“So, it’s a coffee commercial?” asked Seohyun as she looked down at the one page description of the commercial shoot that Eric was faxed over the other night. She looked over at Eric who was driving them to the shoot.

 

 

“Yeah, I mean that’s a brief description of what’s going to happen but apparently we’re going to have a brief meeting before it.” 

 

 

Soon after, they arrived at their destination. Eric parked outside right in front of a small charming cafe. The two of them got out of the car and walked on inside the cafe. They were immediately greeted by the crew and were led to the corner of the cafe where the writer and director were already sitting. Yonghwa had arrived and he was getting iced coffee in the front. 

 

 

As soon as he sat down beside her, she made a comment. “That’s bad for your body you know.”

 

 

He looked at her with a mischievous smile as he said, “Good morning to you too.”

 

 

“Alright,” said the director clapping his hands together. “Let’s get started.”

 

 

The commercial was about two strangers in the cafe, one reading and one listening to music. They then take a sip of their drink which is the coffee brand Caffe Bene. Both immediately go into a daydream of being lovers, with the coffee as the main part of their romance. They then snap out of their daydream and from across the room meet eyes. That was the end of the commercial. 

 

 

Both Yonghwa and Seohyun liked the concept and were immediately shown the storyboard for it. It had them doing various romantic gestures at a different location for the daydream. They were going to do all of them and various versions of the commercial were going to be released. It was basically a one day project. 

 

 

“Okay, let’s get you guys into hair and makeup and I’ll meet you back here in thirty minutes.”

 

 

They were then introduced to two makeup artists who immediately began doing both their makeup and hair. After about twenty minutes to speedily get their faces ready, they were both given outfits to quickly change into. 

 

 

Seohyun came out of the bathroom wearing a cream oversized knit sweater, blue jeans and high camel boots. Her hair was put into simple waves and her makeup was as clean and innocent as it could be. 

 

 

Yonghwa was next to emerge from the bathroom wearing a dark blue denim button up shirt, tight black jeans and black combat boots. His hair was tousled and makeup simple. He walked over to her with a smile and a playful nudge on her shoulder. 

 

 

“I didn’t think we’d be hanging out with each other this much,” He said. 

 

 

She shook her head, “If you call hanging out work than yes I didn’t think we’d be hanging out this much either. But hey it’s good work and I love it.”

 

 

“So you admit you love being with me.”

 

 

Seohyun quickly gave him a look. “Don’t try to start something Yong.”

 

 

He leaned towards her face really close as he said, “I won’t, Hyun.”

 

 

“Great! You guys are all ready.” interrupted the director as he walked in from setting up the cameras. “Let’s get you guys into your positions and begin shoot.”

 

 

Seohyun surveyed around the room as one of the staff set Seohyun on a cafe chair. She saw Eric standing outside by the directors chair and once upon making eye contact, immediately gave her a thumbs up. She smiled as one of the makeup artists began touching up Seohyun’s face. Hanging cameras were set up directly in front of both Yonghwa and Seohyun. The cameras were able to move at any which way the director wanted. Seohyun was by the window while Yonghwa was at the other end by the cash register. He was making silly faces at her and Seohyun couldn’t help but squirm in her seat from laughter. So, she made silly faces back until the director called their attention.

 

 

“Can you guys hear me?” The director had the crew set up microphones so that he could easily direct from outside. Seohyun could clearly see him talking into his microphone. They both nodded to him to show that they heard him. “Good, now Seohyun has the earphones and i-pod while Yonghwa has the book right? Good. Let’s get started! For now, I’ll have the cameras set up directly at the two of you so what I want you both to do is just do whatever you normally do with these two items. Then I’ll have two waitresses set the cup of coffee in front of you and you both just have to take a sip. Make it look refreshing! Alright, give me a minute and I’ll call action.”

 

 

Seohyun closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths thinking about all the things she could do with her props. 

 

 

“Ready? And...action!”

 

 

 

 

Seohyun then set her steaming cup of coffee on the table, with a sad sigh knowing that it was just a daydream. As the song switched on her i-pod, Seohyun looked up and caught eyes with a handsome man staring right back at her. They both immediately smiled.

 

 

“Cut!”

 

 

“That was great! Let’s do it one more time so that I can have varied shots and then we can call for a lunch break.”

 

 

After twenty more minutes of several film shots, Seohyun and Yonghwa were finally let go to have lunch. As they went outside, Eric was already munching on a sandwich and sipping on a soda. 

 

 

“I thought we were going to have lunch together,” said Seohyun with a shake of her head. 

 

 

He shrugged with a smile. “I couldn’t wait but,” Eric turned to Yonghwa while nodding behind Yonghwa. “Someone is here to see you and she made these amazing sandwiches for the rest of the staff as well.”

 

 

Yonghwa and Seohyun turned their heads around and were both pleasantly surprised to find Yonghwa’s mom waving at the two of them in the cafe’s parking lot. As Yonghwa began to walk towards his mom, he urged Seohyun to come over with him to say hello as well. 

 

 

Yonghwa gave his mom a good long hug, expressing that it was nice of her to stop by. 

 

 

“I couldn’t not come and see where my son is shooting his first commercial,” She took a good look around. “This is nothing like those photo shoot ads you used to do. And Seohyun, it’s so nice to see you again!” Yonghwa’s mom held out her arms for a hug. “Come and join Yonghwa and I for lunch. It’ll be nice to have a good conversation between us three.”

 

 

Seohyun looked over at Yonghwa, not wanting to intrude on the minimal family time they had. But he nodded anyways as if to say that it was alright. 

 

 

Seohyun gave the warmest smile she could to Yonghwa’s mom and said, “Of course I’d love to have dinner with you.”

 

 

Yonghwa’s mom clapped her hands together with a satisfied grin. “Great! Let’s get in the car, I have reservations at a local restaurant.”

 

 

The three of them hopped into the car and went on their way to the restaurant. They all offered small chat with mostly Yonghwa’s mom asking how everyone was doing and how the commercial shoot was going. They enjoyed the rest of the ride over.

 

 

After a couple of minutes later, the three arrived outside a family based restaurant that offered grilled barbecue. A waiter greeted them at the front and took them to the back in a private room. Yonghwa and Seohyun let his mom order, not really caring what they eat as long as there was food in their stomachs. 

 

 

As they waited for the food to come out, Yonghwa’s mom up a new conversation. 

 

 

“I’ve been seeing all the ads and music video commercials on T.V. that I even can’t wait for it to be released,” said Yonghwa’s mom as she took a sip of water. “Why is it made to be such a big deal?”

 

 

“Remember the song “Timeless” by Jang Ri In and Xiah Junsu? Well the music video is their comeback as a duet couple again. SM Entertainment wants all the promotions to be suspenseful and really elaborate. There’s even going to be a premiere night for it.” answered Yonghwa.

 

 

Seohyun looked at him surprised. “Really? There’s going to be a premiere night?!”

 

 

Yonghwa nodded while smiling. “Yeah, the invitations were delivered by the post this morning. I got it before I left for the commercial shoot today.”

 

 

“That means you need a new suit!” exclaimed Yonghwa’s mom excitedly. 

 

 

“And I’ll need a new dress!” chimed in Seohyun. 

 

 

“You two should match!”

 

 

The two of them looked at Yonghwa’s mom with wide eyes. 

 

 

“We don’t have to match Mom.” said Yonghwa.

 

 

She laughed. “What? I’m just telling you that it’ll be fun and cute to do. Besides, all my friends love you guys. Won’t it be fun?”

 

 

Seohyun shot Yonghwa a look as she said to his mom with a smile, “We’ll consider it Yonghwa’s mom.”

 

 

She smiled as she placed a hand over Seohyun’s hand. “Call me Mom.”

 

 

Just then, the waiter arrived with all the food, putting a stop to their conversation. An assortment of meats, vegetables, and side dishes were presented in front of them as well as fresh bowls of rice. Seohyun was so excited because she was absolutely famished from all the nonstop work. 

 

 

“I’m glad you’re liking all the food,” said Yonghwa’s mom with a smile. 

 

 

Seohyun simply nodded as she took another bite of the freshly grilled pork. She turned her head towards Yonghwa, who gave her a quick wink. 

 

 

They all resumed eating and chatting.

 

 

 

 

“I’m going to go ahead and use the restroom,” said Yonghwa as he stood up from the table. 

 

 

They had all just finished their food and were now awaiting dessert, pat bing soo. It didn’t matter how cold the weather or cold the food was, pat bing soo was a favorite for every type of season. Yonghwa’s mom and Seohyun both watched Yonghwa walk out of the room. 

 

 

As the door snapped shut Yonghwa’s mom looked directly at Seohyun and smiled widely, “He likes you.”

 

 

Blushing, Seohyun shook her head no. “Mrs. Jung, we’re just really good friends.”

 

 

“I told you to call me Mom,” She said as she leaned into the table. “I know my son. He never brings a girl home let alone let her eat in the presence of his mother. For him to do that, must mean he really cares for you.” 

 

 

“Mrs. Ju--I mean Yonghwa’s mother, our relationship is really not like that.”

 

 

“Seohyun,” said Mrs. Jung firmly. “I know my son and the way he looks at you...” She paused and then smiled. “You just know.”

 

 

Seohyun bit the bottom of her lip nervously as she bowed her head to pick at her food.

 

 

“But don’t be embarrassed by it. My son, he’s a good person. He won’t do something that makes you uncomfortable. Surprisingly, he thinks about others before himself.”

 

 

Seohyun took a breath. She hadn’t really noticed but she had been selfish with her own feelings but he never pressured her nor did he ever peter her for an answer. She had not once thought about his feelings.

 

 

“I intercepted the waitress while I was coming out of the bathroom and got the pat bing soo for us!” said Yonghwa as he interrupted Seohyun’s thoughts. He then set the yummy dessert on the middle of the table. “And what were you two ladies talking about while I was gone?”

 

 

Yonghwa’s mom picked up the dessert spoon and dipped into the pat bing soo. “Nothing Yonghwa. Come sit down, let’s all enjoy this dessert.”

 

 

Yonghwa sat next to Seohyun and turned to her. “Will you tell me then?”

 

 

She shook her head.

 

 

He handed her a dessert spoon. “Fine.”

She smiled at him and joined in at eating the pat bing soo.

 

 

 

 

Mrs. Jung pulled up into the parking lot of the cafe where Yonghwa and Seohyun were shooting the coffee commercial. She put the car on park and let the ignition run as she said, “Have a good rest of the commercial shoot. Yonghwa dear please come visit us. Even if your dad won’t admit it, he really misses you and so does your brother. Seohyun honey it was really nice catching up with you. I hope your studies goes well. And eat more sweetheart, you look so skinny.”

 

 

Seohyun laughed. “I will Yonghwa’s mom.”

 

 

“And we need to work on you calling me mom, not Yonghwa’s mom, just mom,” Mrs. Jung turned to Yonghwa. “Feed her some sweet potato’s maybe then she’ll eat more.”

 

 

Yonghwa held his mother’s hand. “If you’re asking me to look out for her Mom, I will.”

 

 

“Good,” She turned back to Seohyun. “Come to Busan soon and have dinner with the family. It’d be nice to have you both there.”

 

 

With that, both Yonghwa and Seohyun said their goodbyes, went out of the car, and began walking back towards the cafe. The crew were just finishing up their lunch and when they found Eric he was busy talking on his phone. He mouthed for them to give him a minute. After, he hastily ended the conversation and turned back to them with a sigh.

 

 

“I have to go back to the office,” started Eric. “A new case opened up and not only are the clients requesting me but they’re demanding me to get to the office at this very second.” He turned to Yonghwa. “Can you take Seohyun home back for me?”

 

 

Yonghwa nodded. “Yeah sure, not a problem.”

 

 

Eric gave him an affirmative pat on the shoulder showing his thanks. “I’ll see you later Seohyun. Tell me how the rest of the shoot goes.”

 

 

“Okay I will,” She waved goodbye. “Thanks for bringing me this morning.”

 

 

Eric gave her a wink and playfully saluted her as he walked back to his car.

 

 

“Seohyun and Yonghwa?”

 

 

They both turned around to the sound of their names and found one of the staff standing before them.

 

 

“We’re ready to resume shoot now.”

The two followed the staff member to the back of the cafe where film and crew had already set up their cameras in the little field the cafe owned. The director walked towards them with the storyboard in his hand.

 

 

“Hope you had a good lunch break because we’ll be working until the sun sets,” He held up the storyboard in front of them. “We’ll be doing the daydream scenes. The first one we’ll do is where you guys are in the snow drinking the coffee through the thermos and then we’ll have Yonghwa lean in for a kiss. Oh come on guys don’t give me that look, romance is the theme for the holidays!” The director turned to his crew. “Hey! Do we have all the fake snow ready?! Yes? Great!” He turned back to them. “Are we good for this? You might not even have to kiss her, we’ll see how my mood goes.”

 

 

Yonghwa looked at Seohyun. “Is that okay?”

 

 

Seohyun smiled with a shrug. “It’s not like we haven’t kissed before.”

 

 

The director clapped his hands together. “Great!” He looked the two of them up and down. “The jackets you are wearing right now are fine so we’ll keep those for the scene. Oh, and Yonghwa I see your manager coming. She’ll probably want to talk to you more about the scenes we’ll be shooting since I filled her in already. Come on Seohyun, I’ll tell you the rest as we prep you in the snow.”

 

 

Seohyun followed the director towards the large patch of fake snow as he filled her in on the scenes that they were shooting. There were going to be two other scenes, another one outside and another inside. Outside, they were to go to the bridge down the street that was above a stream again drinking another cup of coffee and the two were to be as romantic as possible. The indoor scene was the one Seohyun was the most nervous about. The cafe owner had an empty apartment upstairs, furnished and apparently gorgeous and quaint.  As if they were a real couple, they were to lay together on the couch with Seohyun on top of him. She was to wake up and make him a cup of coffee and then present him with it. They sit together on the couch with Yonghwa’s arms around her. In the original storyboard, the director was just going to have them stay like that but to keep the romantic mood going he might have Seohyun kiss him. 

 

 

“Why can’t we stick to the original storyboard?” asked Seohyun as she sat down on the fake snow.

 

 

“Because, if you want people to take interest in the commercial then you have to do something daring. Besides, multiple commercials will be going out for this coffee brand and if I see chemistry from the music video teaser right , you and Yonghwa should be fine.”

 

 

Just then, Yonghwa was returning from talking to his manager. He took a seat beside Seohyun.

 

 

“She filled me in on what was going on.” said Yonghwa. “Wow this fake snow isn’t cold at all.”

 

 

Seohyun picked it up with her bare hands. “It’s really interesting. I’m a bit nervous about the last scene though. I mean, we get really intimate.”

 

 

Yonghwa playfully nudged her. “Oh come on, it’s not like we haven’t been intimate before.”

 

 

She blushed. “But I’m kissing you this time.”

 

 

“Why?” laughed Yonghwa.”Are you nervous? It’s just me.”

 

 

She looked at him in the eyes. “I think...that’s the reason why.”

 

 

He stared at her with a small smile on his face. “Do I sense something here Hyun?”

 

 

“Alright, are you two ready to start shooting?” called the director through his microphone. 

 

 

The two snapped their heads back towards where the director was sitting. A staff quickly put down a steaming hot thermos and a backpack with two small mugs in it in front of Yonghwa and ran back away from the cameras.

 

 

“Ready? Improvise as much as you can and...action!”

 

 

Yonghwa took the thermos in his hands and began to uncap it. He had already laid out the two small mugs from his bag for the two of them and began to pour the delicious hot coffee into them. Once the two cups were filled evenly, he handed one to the beautiful girl next to him. She thanked him and took a sip letting the warmth brighten her cheeks. As he took his own sip of coffee, he couldn’t help but stare at her with adoring eyes. Yonghwa loved the little things that she did.

 

 

After taking another sip, she cradled the mug in her hands and set it on her lap. She looked at him questioningly. Why was he staring at her?

 

 

With one swift motion, Yonghwa dug his mug into the snow and leaned in close to Seohyun’s face. He paused in front of her face, letting his eyes stare at her lips. He could feel her warm breath against the skin and could practically hear her heart beat through her chest. He smiled and leaned in further for his lips to seal against hers.

 

 

“Cut!”

 

 

The director peered behind his screen. “That was perfect. I want to keep that! Okay, great everything in one shot, let’s go to the bridge now! Wait, we need to do a wardrobe change first!”

 

 

Seohyun stood up, dusting the fake snow off her. 

 

 

“Isn’t the director interesting? He’s all over the place,” Yonghwa reached for her shoulder to wipe off the rest of the fake snow. He nodded his head towards the cafe. “Come on, let’s do a wardrobe change.”

 

 

Seohyun followed Yonghwa into the cafe where they met the make up artists who handed them their new outfits. Seohyun was given a Christmas nostalgic red coat to put over her first outfit and a cream scarf with matching gloves. One of the stylists began touching up her hair and curling tighter curls to frame her face. The make up artist too did her touch ups. 

 

 

A couple of minutes later, the director and two members of the camera crew led Seohyun and Yonghwa, who was wearing a deep navy blue coat, to the bridge. The rest of the crew were setting up the last scene in the upstairs vacant apartment in the cafe. 

 

 

“I love the lighting in front of the bridge, let’s start there.” The director turned to Yonghwa and Seohyun. “You two, go and stand on the bridge facing us. I want to see how it’ll translate on film.”

 

 

Seohyun and Yonghwa walked up to the bridge and faced the director and camera crew. 

 

 

“Wow, the view is beautiful,” said Seohyun as she looked out into the city skyline. It was late afternoon and the light was just beautiful and illuminating. 

 

 

“We’re going to shoot the scene like this. The light is perfect,” The director then ordered for a crew member to give Yonghwa and Seohyun cups of coffee. “Just be playful, flirty, and romantic as possible. It’ll all be one continuous shot so just again improvise. Utilize the cup of coffee as much as you two possibly can.”

 

 

A crew member came up to the bridge and handed the two their new best friends for the day. 

 

 

“And action!”

 

 

Seohyun turned to him with a smile. The cup of coffee was warming her hands but she couldn’t be bothered to drink it because she couldn’t help but stare at him with a smile. He nudged her on the shoulders and motioned for her to drink her coffee. Seohyun obliged and took a sip. 

 

 

Suddenly, Seohyun could feel his arm wrap around her waist, pulling her closer to him. She set her coffee on the bridge railing next to his. Naturally, she herself put her arms around his waist. He swayed her back and forth softly with a smile. She looked up into his eyes and couldn’t help but let out a small laugh as if she couldn’t believe he was holding her at this very moment. 

“Cut!” The director gave the two a thumbs up sign. “That was great but let’s do it again! Mix it up a little!”

 

 

 

 

“This is really awkward,” said Seohyun as she lifted her head off of Yonghwa’s chest. They had moved from the outdoor scene to the indoor scene on the couch of the living room. She was dressed in an oversized button up shirt with shorts on underneath. Her hair was brushed out and made into ‘just got out of bed’ messy look. “Am I too heavy?”

 

 

She could feel Yonghwa laugh. “No you’re not. But I can’t help but laugh. This is really awkward for me too.” This round was about their fifth take and both Yonghwa and Seohyun couldn’t help but laugh each time the camera began to roll. They had tried different positions on the couch but the director liked this one where Seohyun was laying on top of Yonghwa. He was wearing a loose white v-neck shirt and long plaid forest green pajama pants. His hair was too ruffled out for that ‘just got out of bed’ look. 

 

 

The director came up to the both of them and sat on the arm chair of the couch. “Alright, I know this scene is really weird for the two of you but if you can both try to move past that I’m sure that it’ll come out great on film. We can try as much as you two want until we get it. I understand that you both aren’t very experienced and that’s really okay. I just want to get through at least one take.”

 

 

Seohyun felt reassured at the director’s words. She took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay, I can do this.” 

 

 

She felt Yonghwa squeeze her shoulder reassuringly. “We’re ready.”

 

 

“And action!”

 

 

Seohyun opened her eyes to the bright light of the morning. What she didn’t want to do was the leave the warm body underneath her. His arms were around her body lovingly as she pressed her ear against his chest. He was still asleep and his heart was beating a slow calm rhythm. She didn’t want to leave. 

 

 

She could feel him stirring from his sleep and before Seohyun knew it, Yonghwa had woken up. 

 

 

“Hi,” He said.

 

 

“Good morning,” She replied.

 

 

Yonghwa smiled as he tucked pieces of Seohyun’s hair behind her ear. Then, he cupped the left side of her cheek. She leaned into his hand, smiled, and put her own hand on top of his. 

 

 

“Let me make you a cup of coffee.”

 

 

He nodded. 

 

 

Seohyun began to get up and untangle herself from the web of their cuddling. She made her way to the kitchen and began making up two delicious cups of Caffe Bene. As she waited for the coffee to be made, Seohyun looked over at Yonghwa who was now sitting on the couch. He was waiting for her patiently. 

 

 

“Cut! Bring the coffee to Seohyun!”

 

 

A crew member handed Seohyun the coffee. It was warm.

 

 

“Resume film!”

 

 

Once the coffee finished, Seohyun brought the two cups to the living room and handed one to Yonghwa. He thanked her as he received the warm drink and immediately took a sip. Yonghwa let out a happy sigh. 

 

 

“Just what I needed.”

 

 

Seohyun took a seat beside him and too took a sip. 

 

 

“Good?” He asked her.

 

 

She nodded happily. 

 

 

Yonghwa then motioned for her to come closer as he wrapped an arm around her shoulder. This felt the most comfortable to him. Whether they fell asleep in each others arms or apart, no matter what as long as she was there with him, nothing mattered. 

 

 

After taking a few more sips on her coffee, Seohyun set it down on the coffee table in front of them. She turned to the side facing Yonghwa and pulled her knees up to her chest. 

 

 

Yonghwa set his cup of coffee on the table as well and turned to Seohyun. He leaned his head on the couch’s headrest and looked at her. He reached for her hand and interlaced it with his fingers. He tugged on her hand for her to come beside him. 

 

 

Seohyun let her legs down and shifted towards him. She copied Yonghwa’s position on the couch without ever faltering her gaze. 

 

 

“I’m nervous...” whispered Seohyun as she broke out of her character. But she didn’t move from their position and neither did Yonghwa.

 

 

He gave her a half smile. “Don’t be.”

 

 

A crew member turned to the director who was watching them closely. 

 

 

“Should we call cut?” The crew member asked.

 

 

The director lifted a hand telling them to go on. “No, let them talk.”

 

 

Yonghwa playfully shook Seohyun’s hand. “Come on. What are you nervous about?”

 

 

“My feelings for you are different now,” She whispered back. “Rather, I don’t know how to feel about you anymore. I’m so conflicted.”

 

 

“What did my mother tell you?”

 

 

“How do you know it’s about your mother?”

 

 

He laughed. “I know her. She cares about everyone and everything. Apparently, she knows how everyone feels.”

 

 

“She told me...that I’m the only girl that you’ve let your guard down for. That no other girl has had dinner with the family let alone be invited to the family home. That you’re considerate of others and most importantly my feelings. You would never do something I didn’t want to do.”

 

 

He let out a little sigh. “Those Hyun, are all true.”

 

 

“For some reason, I didn’t see that before. I’ve always liked you Yong ever since I met you. I liked your character and how you presented yourself. You’re a nice guy and the type of person I’ve wanted to meet my entire life. I had a school girl crush and I’ve had my doubts about you. I’ve felt feelings that I’ve never felt before and that’s what is pulling me back.”

 

 

“Seohyun, what do you feel like doing now?”

 

 

Seohyun slowly began to lean in close to Yonghwa and said, “Kiss you.”

 

 

Seohyun placed her lips on Yonghwa’s and lingered until the director finally called cut.

 

 

“And that’s a wrap!”

 

 

An applause commenced as Seohyun and Yonghwa rose from the couch. They both immediately bowed and thanked the director and crew members for all their hard work.

 

 

The director then pulled the two of them aside and immediately asked, “In the last part of this scene, what were you two talking about? There were no microphones so none of us could hear what either of you were saying.”

 

The two of them didn’t say anything.

 

 

The director put his hands up. “That’s okay if you don’t want to tell me but the reason I didn’t call cut was there was so much...tension in that moment that it was too perfect for me to pass up. Anyways, I want to thank you both for working hard today. I can see why people love you two. The commercial should be out in a couple of days, it won’t be that hard to edit but other than that I hope we get to work together again in the near future.”

 

 

The three of them shook hands and the director went back to direct the crew on the clean up. Yonghwa’s manager came by and told them that she would go and get the car ready for them. 

 

 

 

 

“That was fun wasn’t it?” asked Yonghwa as they exited the cafe. 

 

 

Seohyun nodded as she buttoned up her coat. They stopped at the corner of the cafe on the sidewalk where Yonghwa’s manager would pick them up. The sun had already just set, thankfully it didn’t hinder with shooting. 

 

 

Suddenly, Yonghwa began rustling in his most interesting backpack that Seohyun had ever seen, a power button backpack. He then produced out the familiar muted pink knit gloves he had given her what felt like an eternity ago. As he gave her the gloves, Yonghwa then pulled out a matching scarf. 

 

 

In shock, Seohyun stood still as Yonghwa wrapped the scarf around her neck. “Put those gloves on, you never dress warm enough.”

 

She looked down at the gloves. "You kept them, all this time."

 

 

He shrugged. "Just in case you ever needed them again."

 

 

“Thanks but it wasn’t that cold this morning,” mumbled Seohyun as she put on the gloves. But she had to admit, she was warmer now. 

 

 

Yonghwa scoffed. “Yeah right. You probably just forgot,” He finished off with tucking the scarf under her coat. 

 

 

"No I didn't!" retorted Seohyun. "I'm all hot now because of all the coffee I drank. I've never drunk that much coffee in my life."

 

 

"Well sacrifies are to be made in this industry."

 

 

Then they were silent for a few moments.

 

 

“So...” She started as he took a step from her. “Do you want to talk about what happened back there?”

 

 

He smiled. “I was waiting for you to say something. But Seohyun, you already know how I feel. Right now, I’m just waiting on you.”

 

 

Seohyun smiled at him. “Give me time? Let me sort out my feelings and then...we’ll see.”

 

 

Yonghwa nodded just as the manager’s car pulled up. “That’s better than nothing.”

 

 

They laughed and Yonghwa held the door open for her. They got into the back of the car and Seohyun told Yonghwa’s manager her address. 

 

 

Seohyun leaned back into the car seat, exhausted from today’s work. 

 

 

Yonghwa then patted his shoulder, motioning for Seohyun to lay her head on it. 

 

 

She let out an appreciated sigh and put her head on his shoulder. Her eyes then immediately drooped to a close.

 

 

With his free hand, Yonghwa began to her hand coaxing her to fall into a deeper sleep. They were both extremely tired but having Seohyun next to him, he just couldn’t close his eyes. 

 

 

Before Yonghwa knew it, he was leaning close to her face hovering over her lips. He could feel her small steady breaths as she slept. 

 

 

He was happy. She had given him a kind of sort of answer to his feelings and that was good enough for him. Yonghwa wanted so bad to kiss her. As in really kiss her, not just to kiss for the sake of the shot or film. 

 

 

But he thought, he shouldn’t as he restrained himself from kissing her. He then leaned back into the seat and let out sigh. 

 

 

“You’re in love with her aren’t you?” asked his manager as they made eye contact in the car’s interior rear view mirror. 

 

 

He shook his head with a scoff. “Damn right I am and it’s absolutely killing me.”
