“Tired?”

“Annoyed.”

Shinhye answers while she removes her makeups. Smiling and acting lovey dovey with Yonghwa at the press conference really makes her feel uneasy. Every touch of his on her waist, back and body makes her nearly wants to puke.

“The press sure will act like that, but they only do their job.”

Shinhye turns to her manager and smiles.

“If only I can talks to you about the fake things.”

Shinhye thoughts. She sighs and put on the UV cream.

“Do you want me to bring you home?”

Shinhye shakes her head.

“I’m going out with Yonghwa, we’ll be seeing a friend.”

“Who?”

“Hongki.”

Shinhye’s manager smiles.

“Careful.”

Shinhye nods while wearing her scarf, sunglass and cap.

“I go now unni.”

                                                                                              ***

Yonghwa parks his car inside the parking lot of the building.

“Are you sure he works here?”

Shinhye nods.

“Call him.”

Shinhye take out her phone and dialed Hongki’s number.

“Where are you?”

Shinhye squints her eyes and ended the call.

“He’s yelling.”

“As expected. So, where should we enter?”

He gave the pin number, get up from there.”

“Let’s go.”

                                                                                              ***

“Yah! You are dating? Live in the same apartment? What are you talking about?”

Shinhye and Yonghwa stare boredly at him.

“Don’t yell Hongki.”

Shinhye said while sipping her juice.

“I’m getting deaf with that sound.”

Yonghwa said without changing his expression.

“Are you acting a scene from your upcoming drama? Is this publicity?”

“Aniyo.”

Shinhye stutter with her lie.

“See, I knew it.”

Hongki furrowed his eyebrows.

“Why do I have to face this guy; he really can sense if I’m lying.”

Shinhye whispers to Yonghwa.

“What are you talking about? Don’t do some lovey dovey trick to shut my mouth.”

Yonghwa leans in front; close enough to Hongki.

“Stop Hongki. People can hear you.”

Hongki laughs.

“Are you kidding me? My office is sounds resistant.”

“Yeah, we are kidding. There isn’t anything special going on between Park and me. We are acting for the sake of our career. People will look down on her because she let me in her house and spends her vacation with me, if we reveal that we are just friends. And people will stain me with Casanova title if I deny I’m in a relationship with her, but spend night at her house and staying at the same hotel with her at Busan. Is that clear enough?”

Hongki stares at them with disbelieve.

“You went to Busan? Stay in the same hotel?”

Shinhye nods.

“Coincident.”

“Nothing is going right for you guys right? Are you competing about who will get to stay at the hotel too?”

“Aniyo, it’s our manager who booked the room for us.”

Yonghwa said while leaning on the couch.

“So?”

“What?”

“Your family?”

“We’ll talk to them, but we will say that we are really dating.”

“Will that make sense?”

Shinhye nods, Yonghwa too.

“They believe that we will get close one day, and they won’t make any fuss about that.”

“Your brother in-law?”

“Hyung won’t say anything.”

“Why are you so sure?”

“He did not in my affair.”

“But Junhee noona will.”

Hongki said while staring at Yonghwa.

“She likes her so much to care about our relationship is fake or real.”

Hongki sighs.

“What if you were disclosed one day?”

“We won’t.”

Shinhye said confidently.

Hongki nods.

“If you say so. Will you stay together?”

“We’ll think about this.”

Hongki sighs.

“Hope you will not get caught.”

“We won’t. We didn’t sign any contract.”

“You have contract?”

Shinhye nods.

“Deh, verbally.”

“Don’t worry too much Hongki. We can manage.”

Yonghwa said while patting his shoulder.

“I know you both enough to worry. I hope you don’t turn the house upside down if you live together.”

Shinhye laughs, Yonghwa too.

“Keep it as a secret neh?”

“Deh. I will. Don’t worry. Just don’t let anyone know.”

“Yeh. Thanks Hongki ah.”

Hongki nods.

                                                                                              ***

“Let’s tell them separately.”

“Ani, it’s too dangerous. What if we say differently? The mothers were friends remember? They share everything.”

“So, how?”

“When is the next family gathering?”

“End of this month.”

Shinhye answers after a short thinking.

Yonghwa nods.

“I’ll ask mom to make it earlier. Can you manage on this Saturday?”

“I’ll check with my manager.”

“Okay. The faster the better.”

“I’ll ask her now.”

Shnhye took out her phone and dialed her manager’s number.

“Unni, can you check my schedule for this Saturday?”

“Deh, after the recording.”

“Obsseo? Okay. Thanks unni.”

Shinhye ended the call and turns to Yonghwa.

“I’m free after the recording.”

Yonghwa nods.

“Good, we can go straightly from the studio.”

“Deh.”

“Where do you want to go now?”

“It’s late, home.”

“Okay.”

Yonghwa presses on the gas pedal and drives to Shinhye’s apartment.

                                                                               ***

“Can you hold hands chagiya? We’ll include a little interaction at recording when the MV ended.”

Shinhye smiles and nods.

Yonghwa helds her hand.

“Turns to face each other, smiles. Yonghwa ssi, can you caress her cheek as you sing the last part?”

Yonghwa nods.

“Okay good. Now get ready on the last three lines. One, two, three start.”

They did what the MV director said perfectly. The actress did her best in acting while the rocker plays along quite well. Just a take, they did it. They only needs to acts in the MV next and they are done.

“Perfect. Working with people in love is definitely easier. You shows your true feelings.”

The director smiles at them.

Shinhye smiles while Yonghwa rubs his nape.

“Are we done here Director?”

“Ah deh Yonghwa ssi, see you in two days time. Take care.”

Shinhye follows Yonghwa’s lead out of the recording room.

“Do you need to change?”

“Yes, your dad buys me a dress again. I want to change into it.”

Yonghwa nods.

“Palli, I’ll wait in the car.”

Shinhye scoff as she walks into the changing room.

“If only we don’t need to act, I won’t ride in that car of yours!”

She stomped her feet in irritates. She changes into the dress and smiles mischievously.

“Let him wait for me longer.”

Shinhye giggles as she put on a light makeup on her pretty face really slow.

She glances to the ringing phone of hers and stuck out her tongue.

“Serves you right Jung!”

She hums a song as she put on the eyeliner.

“Craps, this is his song.”

She stopped humming the song and put on her makeup in silent.

After 5 minutes, she stands up and took all of her belonging with her before she walks out.

“Yah! Why are you taking so long?”

Shinhye’s glare at him and wear the seat belts.

“Woman takes time to change, don’t you know?”

Yonghwa scoffs and steps on the gas pedal.

“If only we are not going to the family gathering, I had left you here.”

Shinhye stares outside the window, wearing annoyed face.

“As if I’m dying to get on his car.”
