LOGINAt Tae-ha’s firm command, several paramedics rushed toward Gyeong-shin. Their hands moved frantically as they checked her for external injuries and fractures.
“Look at the state of that car! It’s a miracle anyone survived.”
“Escaped from that fireball? It’s pure luck, absolute luck!”“The woman being carried over there must be the survivor who escaped!”The murmurs around her made Gyeong-shin dizzy. Sh
Today was a historic day for Hyeon-su.During her group days, Hyeon-su had never once received a solo close-up shot from the camera.The dazzling spotlight was always claimed by the other members, leaving her with only the throat-ripping high notes. While the others lip-synced, she performed live alone, yet remained thoroughly confined to the shadows for years after debut.However, thanks to holding tightly onto a sturdy lifeline named Do-yun, she finally stood under a complete spotlight today. Naturally, her thirst for it burned brighter than ever.As the van gradually slowed down, Hyeon-su sensed they had arrived at the music video set and looked around. With her makeup and wardrobe perfectly set, her mood had already peaked.When Hyeon-su cast a subtle glance, Do-yun was listening to music through his headset, building up his emotions. Knowing how thoroughly he self-managed, he was likely listening to the duet on repeat to let its mood soak into
When Tae-ha reached out and took Gyeong-shin’s hand, she moved her feet with bated breath. He led Gyeong-shin to the room she used to occupy in the past. Throughout the walk, his footsteps were even cheerful.Entering the room, Tae-ha opened the walk-in closet door. Since it was the room where the Gyeong-shin of the past had stayed, countless clothes were hanging inside.“Is there an outfit you like?”“Pardon? We’re going to the place where I lived in the past, so why do I need to change clothes? These... still have their tags on, and they’re all brand-new, which makes me feel burdened.”Tae-ha pulled out several pretty dresses, holding them up against her body back and forth as if playing dress-up with a doll.“They’re all pretty.”Gyeong-shin’s eyes widened at the fine clothes of beautiful designs held in his hands. Every single one of the few dresses Tae-ha pick
At any rate, just as the puppies were hungry, hunger surged over Gyeong-shin as well.Tae-ha had always prepared meals for her, but just as she was thinking about whether she should set up breakfast today—“Shin, are you awake?”Right on cue, Tae-ha came out to the living room with hurried steps. Whether it was just her imagination, his expression was plain with a flustered look, as if he had been searching everywhere for her thinking she had disappeared.“...T-Tae-ha?”Gyeong-shin was about to ask what had happened last night, but soon swallowed her words. It was because Tae-ha’s face looked noticeably exhausted. Just as she was wondering if he needed a change of mood at a time like this, the conversation they shared yesterday suddenly came to her mind.“Tae-ha, do you have a schedule today?”“No. What about you?”“Exams are over, so I don't have class
“...Shin-a?”Gyeong-shin curled up into a ball, her shoulders trembling. A voice mixed with sobs leaked out from between her lips.“Oppa. I’m so sorry. I think... I have to leave again.”Tae-ha’s heart sank. The despair contained in Gyeong-shin’s voice pierced through his entire body.Leaving him again—what on earth did that mean? Tae-ha’s mind went completely blank.“Shin-a, I won't let you go now!”Tae-ha grabbed Gyeong-shin’s shoulders, but she merely let out groans, weighed down by the nightmare.“...I’m scared.”“What are you scared of?”“...I don't want to lose Oppa.”Tae-ha couldn't understand at all and wanted to shake Gyeong-shin awake right this instant. But he couldn't.Because it felt like if she woke up like this and recovered all her memories, she would immediately run away somewhere b
A picturesque man clad only in a robe was radiating a sinful charm alongside a subtle smile.Furthermore, the backdrop unfolding behind Tae-ha matched him right now all too well. The bedroom, which resembled its owner as much as the living room did, was stylishly refined, with not a single thing that wasn't luxurious.The room was exceedingly spacious, and black-out curtains were drawn tightly shut, making it feel as though she might not wake up until noon tomorrow without an alarm.Though Gyeong-shin was currently so sleepy her eyes were half-closed, she went ahead and asked what she was curious about anyway.“Haah-. I’m sleepy, but I’m just so curious. On Tae-ha’s birthday... did people... all meet me?”“I didn't invite them. They came to perform.”Suddenly, Tae-ha let out a sigh: *Phew-*. Whether something had upset his mood, sharp words erupted from his mouth.“No wonder.
Gyeong-shin fidgeted, keeping a close watch on Tae-ha’s every cue while remaining glued in front of the puppy house. Tae-ha, on the other hand, lay on the mat resting his temple on one hand, quietly tracing only Gyeong-shin’s movements with a leisurely gaze.Only after the stormy moment had passed did the two finally sit face-to-face to talk calmly.“Mi hermano mayor murió en un accidente de tráfico (My older brother died in a car accident).”“...Oh dear. I’m so sorry to hear that, Tae-ha.”“Because it was such a sudden farewell...”Even during dinner, they had only skirted around superficial topics, and until just a moment ago, they had eased the awkwardness by talking about the puppies. But only now was his true inner story genuinely beginning.“...Then what about your parents in Spain...?”“In Hong Kong... Los padres están ocupados
