Chapter 551: Chapter 551
.
I arrived nearby the cafe that Ban Yeo Ryung’s uncle owned; it was also where we had been lounging during every sumr and winter break.
Why was the world leading here, of all places, which reminded of Ban Yeo Ryung amid this situation? Heaving a sigh, I observed the cafe more carefully.
Sothing looked strange. The street was quite a comrcial area, having many coffee shops and people around. However, I never saw this much crowd streaming into this area and surrounding the cafes in several layers.
No matter how tasty their beverages were, the part-tirs were actually making them, not the professionals. Besides, they weren’t famous restaurants, so was it necessary to wait in that long queues? Questioning to myself, I bent my steps for now.
Although there were so many people around, I could still walk through them. And now I was at the street I knew––walking across from here to there was the way back ho.
“Excuse ,” I uttered, making my way through the crowds.
They ekly stepped aside. Most of them were young people or students. I wondered, ‘Why are these people standing in a line here?’ Then I recalled that a police station was nearby.
‘Oh, are they here to attend a protest? But no, since most of the rallies are held in Gwanghwamun...’ I thought.
All of a sudden, bright lights poured into my sight. Squinting my eyes, I quickly took one or two steps back.
After blinking swiftly, I raised my head and found electric signs, huge lightings, and vehicles busily coming and going. They were so many that I even felt curious why they had not co into my view until now.
I fell back into thought. Were they shooting sothing? However, this area wasn’t a captivating filming location unless they were shooting in the gopchang street across here.
My jaws then dropped to the ground as the story I heard a couple of months ago flashed through my head.
“Oh...”
Well, it was actually one or two months ago that I heard the news. How could I utterly forget about it?
Ban Yeo Ryung’s cafe––actually her uncle’s––was offering their location to the cri thriller TV drama that starred Yoo Chun Young.
‘Wow, so that’s how they shoot a drama, huh?’ I observed the situation inside, flickering my eyes.
Taking a closer look, the people inside the cafe through the glass door looked slightly different from the general public. Were they actors and actresses pretending to look ordinary like most people?
Among them, Lee Nara stood out, sitting at the table with the best view. She was talking to soone who looked very handso. Based on his appearance, the guy seed to be a famous actor, but his na didn’t co to my mind.
Lee Nara stopped talking, then suddenly splashed a cup of water at the actor in anger.
‘Whoa, this is like a soap opera,’ I exclaid.
anwhile, Lee Nara, carrying her purse on her shoulder, walked aggressively toward the door, then flung open it to leave the space.
At that mont, a guy approached the door. Lee Nara and the guy strongly bumped into each other. That was when she removed the furious look from her face and beca surprised.
She uttered, “Ah, sorry... Eh? Why are you here?”
After a short pause, the guy replied, “Did sothing happen?”
The mont I tried to find another way out to return ho, a familiar voice pierced through my ears. I turned around.
That was when the black hair ca into my view. The cara was blocking it earlier, so I wasn’t able to see it until now. His particularly tall figure caught my eyes too.
‘Geez, why on earth didn’t I recognize him earlier?’ I wondered self-mockingly.
When he slowly lifted his head, the glare from the lighting slipped down his chiseled nose.
It was Yoo Chun Young.
Blinking my eyes a couple of tis, I stared at him. No matter how many tis I tried to look over and over, he was the real Yoo Chun Young.
My mind felt spaced out for a second. I was, of course, aware that Yoo Chun Young was too busy shooting the drama to join our getaway. However, it was sincerely different to see him acting in front of the cara in person.
On all occasions, I was standing against the setting sun. The sky and surroundings were turning purplish-blue. Watching Yoo Chun Young in that mood blew away my mind since he looked more surreal.
His face used to look cold, almost like a ghost, but the light glares kept spreading and forming so halos above his face that he even looked paler.
Suddenly, sothing that happened a long ti ago ca to my mind for no reason.
During my elentary school days, when I had no cellphones, one night I was having a hard ti going to bed, suffering from so bad creepy thoughts. Instead of going to my parent’s room, I stepped out to the living room and turned on the TV. None of my parents, thankfully, noticed sitting outside maybe because I had quickly turned down the volu.
Pulling my knees into my arms, I watched the screen for quite a while until the space around it also brightened. The actors and actresses on the TV were just silently pouting their lips in the fade light like goldfishes.
That’s the way I was viewing Yoo Chun Young right now. Even the showering noise and busily working staff between us couldn’t return my sense of reality.
I was there standing inside the crowds, watching Yoo Chun Young from a distance. I even forgot where I was heading to.
Back in the days, at so point, I felt left out due to his splendid and surreal appearance; from the thought that we’re growing apart, I also felt empty and a bit lost.
However, not anymore right now.
Instead, he was standing under the spotlight when I was just one of the crowds of people. That feeling of distance satisfied . That’s because I could look at him as much as possible without being concerned that we would possibly have eye contact.
Although he was always at a reachable distance, I wasn’t supposed to grab his hand. Another thing flashed through my head. The conversation we had on a sumr day, sitting under the shade in the schoolyard.
At that mont, I couldn’t help but murmur, “Why does it have to be you, of all people?”
Whenever I felt the urge to give my heart to this world, his words appeared like a watchman and blocked from doing it.
‘You... you seed to have no interest in ... That’s why I like you.’
Stay beside but not too close––the aning behind his remark clarified that he wasn’t allowed to . After that mont, all I could do was just grab his hand even in my dreams.
However, he was my safety strap at the sa ti.
Whenever I was about to lose myself inside the people who’re all cut from the sa mold, Yoo Chun Young found without wandering around and just pulled out of them at once as if he was clearly aware of where I was. That way, he brought under the light, holding my hand.
Tightly closing my eyes, I murmured again––Why does it have to be you?
I truly wanted to ask him if he had the capability to find when I was staying helpless and troubled.
anwhile, the sun went down. The shooting equipnt and lightings emitted brighter radiance in the darkness; the cafe also looked warr yellow at night.
The actors, actresses, and staff gathered to discuss sothing, then they split into groups and hopped into the cars. Yoo Chun Young was talking to so folks grabbing him.
Well, he was the youngest and dearest son of the Balhae Group. I exclaid when his famous background that I had been forgotten popped into my head. Thus, it was understandable that so many people were queuing around the area, willing to see him in curiosity. Well, of course, so would be just his fans.
A guy and a girl were standing beside him on both sides and talking enthusiastically. The girl looked quite familiar whereas the guy was still undetectable. Both of them seed quite young, probably in their early twenties. At so point, they looked the sa age as .
The girl let her bright wavy blond hair down under her chest and revealed a gorgeous smile on her small, white face. There wasn’t enough light around, but her eyes surrounded by her long lashes seed to twinkle like stars in the sky.
Maybe because it was sumr in the drama, she was exposing her long white limbs under her short outfit. Considering her job as a celebrity, she was still very slim. Was she an idol?
That was when I realized the thing that Yoon Jung In asked to get for him before.
