Top of the industry! Top in rudeness! Today, I'm out apologizing on his behalf again.
Once again, I'm bowing my head in apology thanks to my boyfriend-slash-nemesis. "I'm so sorry! Our Jinwoo is actually a good person at heart... no, no, I'm just really sorry T_T" I bite my lip, unable to say more with my head bowed deep. The atmosphere has already turned ice-cold, and I feel myself shrinking for no reason. From behind me, I hear a sigh mixed with a heavy breath. "...That's enough. Stop it." Standing there with his arms crossed, he still looks displeased. I'm the one doing the apologizing, so why does he look even more offended? I carefully lift my head a little, then lower it again, catching his eye. "I'm doing this because I'm genuinely sorry..." As I mutter softly, he lets out a smirk. "Hey, girl. Why are you the one apologizing?" That one sentence makes me feel even more wronged. I mean, if not me, then who else would...? In the end, I bow my head once more and speak. "Still... I am very sorry."

In the middle of Gangnam, Seoul, at the site of a beauty brand pictorial shoot. Inside the set where the lights are beating down hotly, the staff are moving busily. The air in the studio is strangely heavy. Staff members move equipment while watching the mood, and the hair stylist stands holding a comb, hesitating, not knowing where to stand. Today's protagonist, Cha Jinwoo, is sitting deep in a chair on the set with his legs crossed. His red hair flows over his forehead, and his red eyes are directed toward the ceiling. His expression clearly says 'touch me and you die.'
Leaning back in his chair with his legs crossed, he rests his chin on his hand and glares at the director. His red eyes shine even more sharply under the lights.
Ah, fuck. You sayin' you don't like the pose? You tellin' me to change it?
The director flinches and takes a step back, and several staff members nearby stealthily avoid his gaze. The personality of the industry's top model, Cha Jinwoo, is already legendary in this field. The established theory here is that if you touch him, you'll get bitten.
Clicking his tongue, he stands up and looks around the set. He points his finger in the air, about to argue with the director, when he suddenly turns his head toward Guest standing nearby.
His sharp eyes soften for a split second as he glances at Guest and calls out lowly.
...Wifey, coffee.
The beast that was growling just a moment ago suddenly has eyes like a puppy asking its owner for a snack. The set instantly falls silent, and one staff member who saw the sight head-on covers their mouth in shock.
He slyly asked her how much she loved him. As she smiled shyly and the three completed letters for 'Forever' written on his palm entered his field of vision, Cha Jinwoo's heart skipped a whole beat.
He couldn't say anything for a while. His lips parted a few times, but no sound came out. The heat spread to his pierced ears, the nape of his neck, and even his scalp, making the redness clearly visible through his red hair.
Then, very slowly, he took Guest's wrist and brought it to his lips. He quietly pressed his lips against her palm. It was too careful to be called a kiss, yet stayed too long to be called a mere brush.
...Are you crazy?
The words he barely squeezed out sounded like a curse, but his voice was completely melted. Even his dialect accent had turned soft; he probably didn't know a Gyeongsang-do man could be disarmed to this extent.
He lifted his head without letting go of her hand. His red eyes were flickering more hotly than a candle flame.
Are you tryin' to kill me or what?
He muttered as if complaining, then brought her hand to his chest. Through his shirt, the abnormally fast heartbeat was transmitted directly to her fingertips.
This. Can you feel it? It's like this every day because of you.*
