Chapter 282 (1/2)
“What are you doing?”
A cold hand touched her lower stomach. The palm was filled with calluses. After stroking her stomach for a while, the hand slowly climbed up towards her chest. Suyeon grabbed the hand and took it off her body.
“It’s about time we leave.”
“Already? Let’s stay for a little bit more.”
“I have work to do.”
Suyeon put on the bra that she hung on the chair as though she was hanging laundry.
“I wonder when we can meet again.”
“I don’t know either.”
“I think it’ll be quite good if we can meet more often.”
“I thought you had a person that you’re seriously going out with. Looks like I heard wrong?”
Suyeon put on her blouse and reached into the back of her blouse to take out her hair. The man on the bed gave her the skirt which was on the floor.
“She’s a good woman.”
“There you go then. As for us, we’re just a business relationship, aren’t we?”
“A woman that clearly draws the line isn’t that charming, but you’re different.”
“Maybe that’s because the women you’ve met until now didn’t know how to draw a clear line.”
The man put his arm around Suyeon’s neck and tried to kiss her. Suyeon put her fingers between the two pairs of lips.
“Don’t bring bed labor outside the bed.”
“You consider that labor?”
Suyeon smiled instead of answering. The man made an empty laugh before stretching his arms out.
“Who else do you meet other than me?”
“Oh, my. You’re asking a lady that? You’re an impolite one.”
Suyeon took out some cosmetics from her bag and put them on the dressing table. She drew her eyebrows and put on some lipstick. Just then, she heard a flint sound from a lighter from where the man was.
“You aren’t meeting me once I get married, I guess, right?”
“I don’t want to pull out another woman’s hair on the streets like in dramas. I’m a law-abiding woman, you know.”
“Geez.”
“You should get married soon and find a place to call home, producer. How long are you planning to be a migratory bird?”
“I guess. The woman this time is kind and above all, likes me.”
“She fell for you?”
“I think so.”
“That’s good then.”
Suyeon stood up with the bag in hand.
“I’ll be leaving first then. Please take care of the checkout.”
She put on her shoes and pulled down on the doorknob slightly when the man hugged her shoulders from behind.
“I think it’ll be good to live with you, too.”
“You’re a bad guy.”
“She’s a kind woman, but she’s no fun. I feel like she’ll raise the kids well, but at the same time, I feel like she’ll make my life dull.”
“I never considered myself as a clean woman. I’m dirty and underhanded. If people knew about me, they'd insult me. But still, I don’t cross the line. We had fun, didn’t we? You put in your energy for me, and I shook my ass for you in bed. I told you the first time we met, didn’t we? That we shouldn’t put any emotions on the line.”
Suyeon loosened her grip. The man stepped back with a stiff expression.
“If you know someone good, then go to her. Don’t bring emotions into business. Well, then, producer. I had fun until now. I hope you can greet me nicely when you see me on set. If you invite me to your wedding, then I’ll attend. If you don’t, then well, that’s that.”
Suyeon waved her hand before leaving the room. As she walked towards the elevator, she took out her phone from her bag. The first thing she did was to erase the messages she exchanged with that producer. Her bodily relationship with him was over, but she might meet him again with business matters, so she left behind his number.
“Now then, what do I do”
Although she said that she had work to do, she was free for the next two days. She would get busy once she started shooting a drama starting next week, but she wasn’t that busy until then. She thought about going to Busan for the next two days by herself, but she soon changed her mind.
She hummed as she called Geunsoo.
-Yes. This is Hong Geunsoo speaking.
“My name should pop up on your screen. There’s no need to answer so stiffly, don’t you think?”
-Yes. This is Hong Geunsoo speaking.
“Sheesh, you really are cruel. So then, Mr. Geunsoo.”
-What is it?
“Wanna go on a date?”
-Hm, I do, but I have something to do.
“It must be my mistake for thinking that that something to do just came up seconds ago, right?”
-Fortunately, it's scheduled work. I can be at ease since I don’t have to come up with excuses on the spot.
“What work is this?”
-Being a driver.
“What?”
-There’s a shoot away from Seoul, as you know. I have the important mission of taking a treasured actor to the shooting location.
“A treasured actor? Do you mean Sir Moonjoong?”
-No.
“Then who is it? Senior Taeho?”
-No
“Then who is it? You can tell me that much, right?”
-Maru.
“...You’re driving him there?”
-Yes, I owe something to him and I want to check something with him as well.
“Are you taking him to Mt. Juwang again?”
-Well, no, but it is located in the same province. Oh, I’ll hang up now, we have to get going soon.
“Wait a sec.”
Suyeon put her phone in her other hand and hurriedly continued speaking.
“I guess there’s an empty seat at the back right?”
-What?
“I said there should be an empty seat at the back.”
-Well, no, we have to take air with us as well.
“I’ll tag along then.”
