Winter's Love

82

I was waiting for the first section of photos of the campaign. I was excited because finally, this important day arrived. I was a little early in the studio, just to go ahead and help Shin Hwa as much as I could. The photographer didn't let me do anything, obviously. He only sent me directly to makeup and hairstyle. This time I would model short clothes, so I had to make up my scars too. I had several on my legs, as you can see, I was too far away from having the perfect skin. I have done this process so many times that it was natural for me. I was ready, waiting for my turn to put on the clothes of the section when my phone rang. I squinted when I saw who was calling.

-N? Is everything ok? -It was weird to receive a call, after all, they knew that I had a job today.

-Hannie, did you finish your photo section?

-It will start late, why? -He hesitated for a moment.

-Ravi is sick, with a very high fever, but we have a presentation today -Ah yes, I expected to be able to go to the presentation after leaving the photo section-. The truth is that we can't leave him that way, nor do we have anyone to check him. If there was no other option, I wouldn't have called you -I understood what he meant, not even Hana could be with him. I wanted to make myself strong and say that they will look for someone else. But I was already looking for the car keys.

-I'll be there soon -N sighed.

-We owe you one.

-Actually, you all owe me a lot, but that doesn't matter now -I joked to ease his tension. After that day, the guys really didn't let Ravi be around me. Even in something as simple as sitting down to eat, any of them would take the chairs near me, causing Ravi to sit far away. They were still treating him equally, he was his brother after all, but at the same time, they protected me. They were so caring. So, they didn't have to feel bad about this, I firmly know that I was their last option. Besides, I was stupid. As much as I tried to be strong, my feelings for the man had not changed and I was so worried I wasn't going to be able to take good photos. Shin Hwa walked to me with a big smile and camera in hand.

-We'll go out to eat before the next round of photos. The team is very tired and I want to give them a break -That's why the people who worked with him didn't care if they had to work extra time because he always considered them-. You'll have to wait longer, it doesn't bother you, right?

-Indeed, I have to leave. VIXX called me and they need me to do something for them.

-You know that's far away, it will not give you time to go and come back -I took the bag.

-It will have a little faith. I promise to go and return -I waved at him and walked hurriedly.

-Ha Neul, he already started a life without you. You should do the same -I looked at him sadly. Shin Hwa had guessed why I was leaving there at the risk of losing one of the most important photo sections of my life.

-You and I know the answer to that question -The pain in his eyes was tangent, but this was the reality. No matter how hard I tried, Won Sik clung to me like ivy. I didn't think that I would be eternally in love with him, but I did know that I would spend a lot of time in the process. So, it was better that Shin Hwa will not wait for that. It made me feel bad.

Driving as I would drive in my country for the first time in a long time felt good, as long as I didn't meet a policeman, I think I could do my deed without any problem. I arrived about 15 minutes earlier than I was supposed to, considering where I was. The boys, who were still in the house, looked at me as if they were seeing a mirage.

-That was fast -Hongbin observed.

-What did the doctor say?

-He only needs rest, but you have to lower his fever -Hyuk handed me a bottle of water, it sure seemed like I ran a marathon.
