We’re NOT A Couple! — Chapter 11

I MUST'VE DOZED OFF...

NAEUN IS STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF FILMING.

DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO ASK ME TO PUT THESE UP? CAN'T YOU REACH IT?

YEAH.

It pisses me off...

KIM GAYEON WITH HORNS.

HEY, STOP IT!

PIG NOSE.

WHY ARE YOU PICKING A FIGHT WITH ME TODAY?

IT'S JUST AMAZING THAT A DENSE GIRL LIKE YOU CONFESSED TO LEE DONGGEON.

I AM NOT DENSE, OKAY?

I KNOW THEY'RE JUST FILMING, BUT THIS IS PISSING ME OFF...

Enough to wake me up.

TO THINK HE'S TOUCHING NAEUN'S CHEEKS WHEN EVEN I CAN'T...!

THAT STARE IS PIERCING.

KEEP DOING THAT AND I'LL BITE YOUR HAND, GOT IT?

THAT'S FINE BY ME.

YOU PERVERT...

IN THAT BRIEF MOMENT, KIBEOM BECAME CERTAIN,

THAT SUNHO STILL HAS LINGERING FEELINGS FOR NAEUN.

DAY TWO OF FILMING.

* Filming a winter scene in spring.

TO BRIEFLY EXPLAIN THE SCENE BEING FILMED,

BROKE UP WITH DONGGEON.

I...

HE DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME WHY... I JUST GOT DUMPED...

IN THE STORY, JUHYUK RUSHES OVER TO COMFORT GAYEON THE MOMENT HE HEARS ABOUT HER BREAKUP.

SINCE JUHYUK HAS HARBORED A ONE-SIDED CRUSH ON GAYEON...

EVEN BEFORE SHE STARTED DATING DONGGEON,

THIS IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR HIM.

WHILE SOOTHING GAYEON, WHO IS DEVASTATED BY THE BREAKUP,

FORGET ABOUT THAT SELFISH JERK AND GO OUT WITH ME.

HE SLIPS THROUGH HER EMOTIONAL CRACKS AND CONFESSES.

I'VE ALWAYS LIKED YOU.

I'M CONFIDENT I CAN LOVE YOU MORE CONSISTENTLY THAN LEE DONGGEON EVER COULD.

...HE SAID HE'D MAKE ME COMPLETELY FORGET ABOUT ACTING WITH JI SUNHO.

I SERIOUSLY FORGOT ALL ABOUT HIM UNTIL NOW.

KIBEOM'S LEVEL OF IMMERSION IS INCREDIBLE...

...MORE THAN LEE DONGGEON?

YEAH.

EVEN THOUGH DONGGEON WAS THE ONE WHO INITIATED THE BREAKUP,

HE CAME HERE TO SEE GAYEON ONE LAST TIME

RIGHT BEFORE LEAVING THE COUNTRY.

GAYEON IS ENTIRELY UNAWARE OF THIS,

AND ONLY JUHYUK KNOWS THE TRUTH.

JI SUNHO...

HIS FAKE SHOCKED ACTING IS AMAZING.

ALTHOUGH IT DOESN'T REALLY SEEM LIKE HE'S ACTING.

WHY DOES JI SUNHO LIKE GWON NAEUN THIS MUCH?

BECAUSE SHE'S PRETTY? WELL, THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY IS FULL OF PRETTY GIRLS.

BECAUSE OF HER NAIVE AND HARDWORKING PERSONALITY?

JUST BECAUSE OF THAT?

I'M PLAYING THE ROLE OF SOMEONE WHO LOVES HER, BUT I DON'T REALLY SEE HER CHARM.

THIS IS A PROBLEM.

IN TRUTH, KIBEOM HAD BEEN STRUGGLING TO IMMERSE HIMSELF IN HIS ACTING ALL ALONG.

CUT!

I REALLY FELT LIKE I WAS BEING SUCKED INTO YOUR ACTING.

REALLY? THAT'S A RELIEF.

YOUR IMMERSION IS SERIOUSLY THE BEST!

LIKE I THOUGHT, ASIDE FROM BEING NAIVE...

MMM! DONGGEON AND GAYEON'S BREAKUP SCENE,

AND JUHYUK'S CONFESSION SCENE BOTH CAME OUT GREAT!

FILMING A BREAKUP SCENE... IT FEELS LIKE WE BROKE UP TWICE.

It made filming a breeze~

IT GENUINELY FEELS LIKE NAEUN WAS STOLEN AWAY FROM ME...

...SHE'S STILL SNIFFLING.

ARE THOSE LINGERING EMOTIONS FROM HER ACTING...

OR WAS SHE OVERLAPPING THE SCENE WITH THE MOMENT WE BROKE UP?

I WANT TO COMFORT HER...

IS IT OKAY TO COMFORT HER? WHAT IF IT MAKES HER UNCOMFORTABLE...?

I SHOULD JUST DO IT. IS IT REALLY THAT HARD?

FROM THAT MOMENT ON, KIBEOM BEGAN OBSERVING SUNHO AND NAEUN.

UGH, FILMING A WINTER SCENE IN THE SPRING IS WAY TOO HOT...

IF I KEEP OBSERVING SUNHO,

WILL I BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND HIS FEELINGS?

Ji Sunho, should we throw in an ad-lib here?

H-Huh...? Like what?

When you go to the departure inspection area—

IF I KEEP WATCHING NAEUN,

WILL I BE ABLE TO SEE HER CHARM?

I DON'T KNOW.

I STILL DON'T GET IT.

HYUNG, PLEASE PASS THIS TO NAEUN.

WHAT IS IT?

AN ICE PACK. SHE LOOKS LIKE SHE'S OVERHEATING.

SHE'S REALLY SENSITIVE TO THE HEAT, YOU KNOW.

AH, SURE.

YOU PUNK! YOU SHOULD GIVE THIS TO HER YOURSELF~

So timid, unlike your character lol

HOW COULD I... HEH.

IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE GWON NAEUN COMPLETELY HATES YOUR PRESENCE, THOUGH?

SHE TOLD ME SHE HATED IT.

OH, REALLY?! WHEN DID YOU GUYS TALK?

YEAH, WELL...

I WAS RESTING, BUT I UNINTENTIONALLY EAVESDROPPED.

...AS EXPECTED.

HE DEFINITELY STILL HAS FEELINGS FOR HER.

WE'RE STILL ONLY FILMING EPISODE 1! ONCE SHE GETS USED TO IT, GWON NAEUN WILL LET HER GUARD DOWN TOO!

T_T I'M GONNA GO BACK TO DISCUSSING THE SCRIPT WITH NAEUN.

SURE, GO AHEAD.

i left in the middle of it...

IS EAVESDROPPING YOUR HOBBY OR SOMETHING?

WERE YOU RESTING?

GUESS I ACCIDENTALLY EXPOSED SUNHO'S FEELINGS.

YOU SEEM OKAY WITH NAEUN AND JI SUNHO GETTING BACK TOGETHER, DIRECTOR?

WELL...

IT GIVES ME SOMETHING TO TEASE THEM ABOUT, LOL.

ARE YOU PUNKS DATING AGAIN~?

AH...

YOU KNOW THAT REALITY SHOW WHERE COUPLES SWAP EXES? IT FEELS LIKE I'M WATCHING THAT.

WILL SHE GET BACK TOGETHER WITH HER EX-BOYFRIEND,

OR...

WILL SHE START DATING A NEW GUY?

I'M REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE ENDING.

AND WHO THIS NEW GUY MIGHT BE~?

WAAAH!

HUH?

I'M SORRY... I'LL REDO THE MAKEUP ONCE THE CHILDREN STOP CRYING.

You're here, oppa...

WHAT'S GOING ON?

WELL...

THE KID IS JUST NERVOUS IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS...

OH BOY, IT'S TOTAL CHAOS.

FILMING IS GOING TO BE PRETTY DELAYED AT THIS RATE.

WAAAH!

WE'LL TAKE A BREAK UNTIL THE KIDS CALM DOWN!

EXCUSE ME, MA'AM.

YES...?

I FIGURED THIS MIGHT HAPPEN, SO I PREPARED SOMETHING.

...LIKE WHAT?

?

TA-DA! THIS!

HUH...?

TEARS STOP

HAH?

WHAT THE HELL DID SHE JUST BRING...?
