"..... From now on, I will only love you." So Eun's last shooting session's words to Junsu linger in her mind. How in the world did she even confess her feelings for him in front of so many people on set? No one would ever guess that she was simply expressing her true feelings and would dismiss it as her improvisation. But it still bothers her... a lot.
Junsu's expression when she said it felt like crystal ice and bothered her. The man appears surprised, perplexed, and dumbfounded. He looks at her as if she is the idiot who is talking nonsense. When she thinks about it again, So Eun pulls her hair in frustration. She wants to distract herself from the incident by exercising around her apartment. But as she steps out of her apartment, she is surprised to see Junsu, the subject who has her heart racing.
"You astound me!" So Eun exclaimed loudly about the impact of his appearance.
"Oh, I'm sorry..." Junsu immediately apologized to her. He has no intention of surprising her. Junsu, like So Eun, just stepped out of his apartment and insisted on going grocery shopping. He has no idea why the girl is so taken aback by his appearance; her face flushes instantly and she studiously avoids his gaze. It makes him feels awkward.
So Eun can sense their awkwardness. She cursed herself for creating such an atmosphere between them again. She doesn't want the man to feel awkward around her again, and the silence between them is killing her on the inside. As a result, she decides to speak up.
"I think the kiss thing that happened on set surprised you a lot, and I apologize if it makes you feel uncomfortable and troubled..." It hurt her to say it that way when she really wanted to kiss him on the inside. But So Eun doesn't want to come back on being uncomfortable with him, so she apologizes even if the man feels awkward about her kiss would hurt her.
"Oh, I don't mind your improvisation; the director enjoys it... And I believe it is normal for actors to improvise during the filming process. I'm not bothered because I know you do it deliberately for the success of the drama. Am I correct?" Junsu speaks casually, as if the kiss means nothing to him and is merely an act.
So Eun is disappointed by his casual and laid-back demeanor; she is deeply troubled about the kiss, but he acts as if it is not a big deal to him. The actress smiles bitterly and lowers her gaze, clearly upset. The handsome singer notices her change in expression, which perplexes him. He is staring at her while silently waiting for her response.
"I didn't do that for the improvisation," So Eun said quietly.
"What?" Junsu is unsure of what she just said. What is the point of that if not for improvisation?
"I kiss you... just because I really want to... It's not for the sake of acting." So Eun slowly lifted her face, looking directly at him. The man's expression is muddled, as if he doesn't know what she's saying. He looks at her with wide eyes and a slightly open mouth, surprised.
"... I like you, Junsu-ssi," she finally admits, her gaze fixed on the man, trying to read his expression. Junsu's expression remains unchanged after one second, two seconds, and even six seconds. He is still blank and appears perplexed.
"So... I'm just expressing my feelings for you so that my heart is less burdened. Don't mind what I just said if you've already lost interest in me by this point... I'd figure out a way to deal with my feelings with myself, so just relax." So Eun tries to maintain her cool by concealing her true feelings. When Junsu does not respond to her after her confession, she is deeply hurt on the inside. Her pride, however, would not allow her to appear as a moron or as someone who was hurt after being rejected about her confession. Especially the confession to someone she had previously rejected.
"I'll go then." So Eun tells Junsu, and as he looks at him one last time, he is still quiet. So she turns around to avoid him, only to discover that she is almost crying. Junsu finally speaks up, and she just takes a step forward.
"Are you serious?" Junsu inquires in hushed tones. So Eun doesn't respond and just stands there. She is unsure whether she must answer his question honestly or not.
When the girl doesn't say anything, Junsu walks quickly towards her and passes her. He stands tall in front of her, lowering his face to get a better look at her.
"Do you really mean it when you say you'll love me?" Junsu inquires once more, his eyes desperate. He gets his hopes up and can't take his eyes off her.
So Eun braved herself to lift her face and look him in the eyes. Junsu's eyes are filled with love for her. The concern that can always knock her off her feet, the kindness that warms her heart. She nods slowly, keeping her gaze fixed on him. Junsu's smile is full and visible on his face. He gently takes her hands in his and continues to smile at her.
"Thank you, I love you too," he says slowly, and Junsu connects their lips together without even waiting for him to respond.
He tenderly kisses her lip while his hand explores her back and strokes her hair. As a result of his sweet kiss, So Eun embraces his neck and deepens their kiss together. As they push each other, their sweet kiss turns passionate. Junsu finds his way to the unlocked door of So Eun's apartment, and they enter without breaking their kiss.
The two of them are so engrossed in their kiss that they don't notice when a couch appears behind Junsu's feet and they bump into it, causing their bodies to fall down on the sofa together with Junsu on the bottom, and they continue kissing and devouring each other's lips until they lose all the air around them.
So Eun and Junsu finally break their kiss because they are out of breath. They keep staring into each other's eyes and smiling sweetly at the person they adore. So Eun gives him another light kiss on the lips. They draw their bodies into their embrace.
So Eun wakes up the next morning in a great mood. She is now officially dating Junsu, which makes her dreams a reality. She keeps humming a cheerful song as she gets ready to go to the shooting location. She occasionally touches her lips to re-experience Junsu's lips on her. So Eun is overjoyed at the mere idea of him.
"Ting tong!" her bell suddenly rings. So Eun is startled because she rarely receives visitors, especially early in the morning.
When she opens the door to her apartment, there is a cup of chocolate drink in front of her eyes. It had taken her by surprise at first. She also discovers a written note on the cup that says 'good morning,' as well as a heart shape at the bottom. She gives a genuine smile before focusing her gaze on the man holding the cup, her boyfriend, Lee Junsu.
"How did you get this drink at this hour?" So Eun grabs Junsu's hand and forces the singer into her apartment. She doesn't want to create a scandal by allowing people to discover the two of them together when they haven't made their relationship public yet.
"I can't sleep and wake up in the morning, so I decide to go jogging. I discovered a store that sells this beverage. I know you enjoy it "said the man as So Eun began to sip the chocolate drink he had brought for her. The actress is overjoyed because she can drink her favorite drink as soon as she opens her eyes.
"How lovely... Thank you very much. Why are you having trouble sleeping?" She inquires, intrigued. Junsu gives her a meaningful smile, which piques So Eun's interest. She looks at him with a puzzled expression on her face.
"I can't stop thinking about you," Junsu admits timidly.
"What exactly was it?" As she is embarrassed by his words, So Eun naturally punches his chest playfully. But she absolutely adores it. Lee Junsu is a natural sweetheart; even before they started dating, he would frequently buy her a drink on the set to show his appreciation. But she never expected him to show up so early in the morning and buy her favorite drink. It appears that dating your next-door neighbor is exciting. You can see them whenever you want, without having to wait long.
"Are you going to just say thank you to me?" Junsu asks his girlfriend while acting upset. So Eun chuckles as he makes a cute gesture, and she tips toes on her feet before kissing his lip lightly. Junsu, who doesn't feel enough with the kiss, lands a lot of kisses on her lip multiple times.
The couple agrees to go to the shooting location together because they are neighbors. When people on the set inquire about their relationship, they can use that as an aliby. Junsu kept holding So Eun's hand while driving to the shooting location. He will occasionally play with her finger or hold her hand tightly. Junsu's love language appears to be body touch. So Eun is about to exit Junsu's car as they arrive at the shooting location. But the singer pulls her back and kisses her once more, unable to get enough of her.
"Hey, What if people notice us?" So Eun appears to object, but she doesn't seem to mind.
"Then let them become envious of us instead," the singer joked. So Eun makes a sweet laugh. They finally get out of the car together.
"Oh! Han So Eun? Lee Junsue? Why have you two gotten together?" Min Ah and Woo Bin had just arrived on the set at the time, with the actress looking at the couple suspiciously while Woo Bin smiled.
"Don't they live next door?" Woo Bin asks and reminds Min Ah, which causes the girl to recall that fact. As a result, she does not inquire further. Junsu approaches Woo Bin, and the men walk infront of the two actresses.
"So Eun-ssi... Does Junsu not appear suspicious?" Min Ah speaks quietly to the actress. Didn't want others to hear her."What exactly do you mean?" So Eun has no idea what Min Ah is trying to tell her with that.
"He does, in fact, smile a lot, but today... his smile is different. He appears to be beaming with joy... It's suspicious that he's become much more dazzling than usual... Is he dating anyone?" Min Ah is playing the role of a detective. So Eun almost laughed at her question. But she can keep it together.
"I'm not certain..." So Eun responds while keeping a straight face.
So Eun just finished her first drama and was invited to attend the Baeksang Award with all of her drama partners as well as her boyfriend, Lee Junsu. This is her first time attending this grand ceremony as an actress. There are a number of well-known celebrities whom she never expected to meet in person. The girl is very excited about it, but she is also very nervous. She quietly observes the ceremony.
" the winner of the best rookie actor award is....Lee Hyuk Soo imnida. Best wishes, Lee Hyuk Soo ssi "the MC making an announcement
The name they mentioned caused So Eun to freeze. Is he also present? Because there are so many people here, she was unaware of his exsistance. Her heart rate increased dramatically. She noticed a tall man walking up the stage at that time. He appears to be charming and dazzling. So Eun has been unable to take her gaze away from the man since his appearance. She misses him terribly.
Hyuk Soo walks confidently toward the stage. He thanks the MC and accepts the trophy from them before beginning to speak about his feelings about receiving such a grant award. He became frozen when he recognized a beautiful girl looking at him with teary eyes. Everything around him seemed to vanish in an instant. His tongue is completely numb. He can't say anything else to continue his speech. He had gone completely blank.
Junsu, on the other hand, sits right next to So Eun and looks around the stage, suspicious that the best rookie actor appears to be looking in his direction. When his gaze is drawn to something, Lee Hyuk Soo appears perplexed. Junsu followed Hyuk Soo's gaze as it moved to So Eun. After seeing his girlfriend, the man standing tall on stage has a mental break down.
