While taking out tickets, Inseop looked around. It was a weekend evening, so the cinema hall was crowded with people. It’s been a long time since he went to see a movie alone. Moreover, the movie in which Lee Wooyeon appeared. He’d seen the same movie dozens of times before, but the feeling was new.

It’s been a week since he hasn’t seen Lee Wooyeon’s face. These days, almost all of Lee Wooyeon’s schedule ended after midnight. He couldn’t contact him during the day and only made one phone call at night. He couldn’t tell such a person that he would go see him, and he couldn’t even ask him to come.

So the only method he came up with was to watch his movie. He felt ashamed for some reason, so he couldn’t tell Lee Wooyeon. He didn’t want to see how much he would tease him.

Inseop put the ticket in his pocket and sat down on a chair in the hall waiting for him to enter.

“Lee Wooyeon, the evaluation of this movie is good.”

At the name Lee Wooyeon, Inseop’s ears perked up.

“They said Lee Wooyeon was no joke here. My friend said she didn’t like Lee Woo-yeon, but she became a huge fan after watching the movie, so it must be really good.”

Inseop felt better when the women sitting next to him praised him.

“What do you do when you become a fan? He’s dating Chae Yeonseo anyway. There were even rumors that the two were getting married.”

“Ah, please. How old is Lee Wooeon, it’s crazy to marry at his age. The road ahead is bright for both of them.”

“Don’t tell this to anyone. A friend of mine told me that a friend of her sister’s second cousin…”

The woman in white whispered to her friend, lowering her voice.

“Chae Yeonseo is three months pregnant. The two of them also picked out a dress at a dress shop in Cheongdam-dong.”

“..!”

Inseop almost screamed no as he jumped up from his seat.

“Ah, wow. No wonder. This is the first time Lee Wooyeon has admitted to dating rumors.”

A friend of hers, a close friend of her sister’s second cousin. In the middle of the rumor creation scene, Inseop felt dizzy. He wanted to tell them that it was absolutely not like that, but he couldn’t hastily intervene, so the frustration doubled.

“The entrance to Hall 2 begins.”

People began to line up at the cry of the cinema staff. The two women next to him quickly entered the theater as well. Inseop held his coffee and walked weakly to stand in line.

When he entered the theater, the front row was sold out. The news that his box office performance was getting better by word of mouth seemed to be true. Thanks to that, he felt a little better. Inseop found the third seat from the end and sat down. Soon after, the light went out. He had seen it at a press preview, but this was the first time he had a proper appreciation of it in a theater. Inseop adjusted his posture and watched the movie.

The commercials ended and the movie started. In the dark theater, Lee Wooyeon’s voice began to resonate. He forgot to drink the coffee he had brought with him and immersed himself in the movie. The movie ended without knowing how the two hours had passed.

“…”

Inseop took a deep breath.

It was a good movie. The script was great and the directing was sensuous. Most of all, he liked the way Lee Wooyeon moved on the screen. It was a movie worth seeing several times. Later, without Lee Wooyeon’s knowledge, he promised to come back and see it again.

As the ending credits rolled, the lights in the theater turned on. People stood up from their seats one by one, but the front door opened and a movie theater employee came in.

“After a while, there will be a surprise stage greeting from the actors and the director. I would appreciate it if the audience would wait and not go out.”

The surroundings began to stir. It was also done to promote publicity.

Of course, Lee Wooyeon was not the type to take care of that, so Inseop was quite shocked by this sudden stage greeting. CEO Kim’s words that Lee Wooyeon is working very hard these days seemed to be true.

“…What should I do?”

He didn’t want to be found out that he came to see Lee Wooyeon’s movie alone. Even if he tried to leave, the staff were already coming in, so he couldn’t leave either. Reluctantly, Inseop put on his hat on and leaned back against his chair.

One or two actors slowly began to enter. The audience screamed in excitement. Finally, when Lee Wooyeon came in, the screams reached their peak. The spectators seated each took out their mobile phones and took pictures and videos.

“Hello. I’m Yoo Taehyeon, the director of <Lovers>. Thank you very much.”

After the director’s greeting, people clapped. The microphone passed to Lee Wooyeon, who stood next to him.

“Hello.”

Even just saying hello, a huge shout burst out. Women screamed and took pictures.

Inseop blankly looked at Lee Wooyeon. It was only a week apart. There were times when they couldn’t see each other for a long time due to each other’s circumstances. However, he was strangely happy and excited. Every time he blinked, feelings for him overflowed.

Ah. He really likes that person a lot.

He realized the obvious fact by chance.

“I am Lee Wooyeon, who played the role of Kwon Hyungjoo in <Lovers>.”

“Oppa! You’re so handsome!”

Everyone burst into laughter at the female student’s shout from the corner.

“Thank you for the compliment.”

Lee Wooyeon replied with a polite smile. The microphone was passed to the other actors in turn. Inseop sat in the corner and stared blankly at Lee Wooyeon on the stage. He felt his position again.

“I think the director has a lot to say about this work. Please say something.”

The mike was handed over to the director.

“First of all, I sincerely thank actor Lee Wooyeon, who believed in me and chose this work just by reading the script. My wife told me to bow in the direction of Lee Wooyeon every New Year’s Day and Chuseok from now on.”

Everyone laughed at the director’s comment. Inseop looked at Lee Wooyeon blankly.

“I think it was possible because of the efforts of not only Lee Wooyeon, but also all the great actors and production staff. I would appreciate it if everyone would spread by word of mouth to your friends.”

Applause continued. Lee Wooyeon was handed the microphone.

“It was an honor to work with great actors and directors. Watching this movie twice or thrice is more fun than watching it for the first time, so please watch it again next time.”

After Lee Wooyeon’s comment, the girl from before started screaming again.

She said,

“Oppa! Don’t get married! Live alone for the rest of your life!”

It was a statement that was conscious of the dating rumor with Chae Yeonseo. Lee Woo-yeon, who was about to pass the microphone aside, stopped and turned his gaze to the female student. Seeing his stare as sharp as the tip of a spear, Inseop involuntarily swallowed his breath.

“Nope.”

Lee Wooyeon replied with an expressionless face. The sound of laughter that resounded in the theater died down with his short and low word. Even the schoolgirl’s face, who was jokingly screaming, hardened at the sharp words.

“The fans who always said that were the first to fall in love with me.”

Lee Wooyeon smiled softly and continued. The theater was again filled with laughter. The mic went over and Lee Wooyeon kept smiling. Everyone thought it was a mischievous sentence. However, Choi Inseop watched Lee Wooyeon closely with a nervous feeling.
