For Lee Min Ho, his January felt like spring. He loved the drama he's filming, and his main female lead filled his mind night and day. Except when he's filming a scene that was not related to her, Miss Kim Go Eun filled his mind from the moment he woke up, to the moment he fell asleep at night.

He had no intention to fight the feelings waving through him daily. Her presence had turned to the definition of happiness for him.

Their friendship quickly grew to a deeper level. They could sit and eat together. They rehearsed their scenes together. They shared about each other's lives and got to know each other better.

They could talk for a long time together about the differences between their country's entertainment industry and other countries. But they could also sit side by side and be silent, playing mobile games in their respective phones.

It was still winter, but for him, it felt like spring already.

One evening, he walked to her dressing room after being informed that she's ready, only to find her humming to Akdong Musician's latest song. Her staff was still there, so he comfortably sat beside her.

"Don't stop when you see me" he gently scolded her.

"Annyeonghaseyo, Sunbae" she greeted him with her usual smile. Despite the time, it's the first occasion they met that day.

"Sing it again, I'd like to hear it."

She laughed. It sounded like ringing bells in his ears. A day wouldn't be complete without hearing it.

"It's hard to do it when you ask for it like that."

"Then what should I do, pretend I'm not listening?"

"Ne. It might help."

"Really? If I pretend I'm not listening, will you sing the whole chorus?"

"I think I can do that."

"Fine. I'll play my game" he announced, taking out his phone from his pocket.

He looked so focused that Go Eun felt confident enough to resume singing "How Can I Love The Heartbreak, You're The One I Love."

Her voice was beautiful. It's soft and pretty. It filled him to the very soul.

They didn't realize that her staff had left the dressing room to give them some privacy.

He had stopped pretending he was playing his game, he messed up so bad and had to exit the game.

He locked eyes with hers, and she ended the chorus that way.

She was looking straight into his eyes. Usually, they would laugh in ten seconds. That day though, because he didn't laugh, she also didn't.

She was the one who looked away first, blushing.

"Do you enjoy it?" he asked quietly, knowing they were alone and no one was listening. "Making me this affected?"

She was already standing up, going to open the dressing room door and walked out. They were expected to standby in five minutes.
