My House Has Become a Filming Set!

༺ My House Has Become a Filming Set! – 12 ༻

 

  Shin Gihyeon . Age 26. His first work was as a supporting role in a movie featuring Kang Do-jun, and he was a huge fan. Even among Shin Gihyeon ‘s fans, his love for Kang Do-jun was well known.

 

  There were rumors that he was well-informed about all of the scripts considered for Kang Do-jun’s next project, earning him the title of a successful fanboy.

 

  As Han Taegu, there was no reason not to use such a topic-worthy guest. Moreover, it was Shin Gihyeon ‘s side that had requested to appear as a guest first.

 

  However, he, who was supposed to come the next day, ended up coming today, the fourth day, due to a delay in the filming of the drama he was currently shooting.

 

  Thus, Han Taegu came up with a brilliant plan. The early episodes would feature a bromance with Lee Yeonwoo, and the later ones with Shin Gihyeon . Naturally, he was excited about the show that showed signs of a huge hit.

 

  Shin Gihyeon  finished shooting his morning drama early and visited Lee Yeonwoo’s house, which was the address provided by Han Taegu.

 

  It was just beginning to dawn, but the filming crew and staff who needed to prepare for shooting, as well as Han Taegu who came out to meet him, welcomed Shin Gihyeon .

 

  “You must have had a hard time coming all this way.”

 

  “Not at all. I’m sorry for the delay in the schedule.”

 

  “Life doesn’t always go as planned! Just being on the show is enough to be thankful.”

 

  And here, there was another person whose life wasn’t going as planned. Lee Yeonwoo, who was peeping at the situation in the yard through the crack in the window of his room, bit his lower lip.

 

  “Damn.”

 

  Anyone could see that he was dressed like a celebrity. He easily guessed that he must have come to appear on this show.

 

  His substitute had come. No, in the first place, he might have been his substitute.

 

  Every morning, he had been heading to the apiary for a walk, but he looked after the yard that had been noisy since early in the morning, and sure enough, something happened.

 

  So, this is why Han Taegu said I could take a day off today. Did Kang Do-jun know about this situation? Lee Yeonwoo slightly opened his door and checked the other room facing him.

 

  Judging by the firmly locked door, it seemed he was still sleeping.

 

  He frowned as he checked the situation through the window crack again.

 

  He carefully scrutinized the man laughing cheerfully in the yard. It was an attractive man with a somewhat gloomy top.

 

  Lee Yeonwoo thought he was weak for beauties after meeting Kang Do-jun. However, he quickly decided to retract that thought.

 

  If he had been weak for beauties, he would not have felt such an unpleasant emotion.

 

  Perhaps it was due to the man’s appearance having less impact than Kang Do-jun’s, and the fact that he was a substitute for that man. It was a drastically different reaction from when he first met Kang Do-jun.

 

  Lee Yeonwoo became a lone sentinel guarding the house, fiercely eyeing the man through the window crack.

 

  Then he saw the man gradually approaching him with Han Taegu.

 

  “Damn, what the…”

 

  Suddenly, the two standing in front of the window tapped the glass and greeted him.

 

  “As expected, you’re awake. Yeonwoo, this is actor Shin Gihyeon , who will be shooting with us until tomorrow evening.”

 

  “Hello. My name is Shin Gihyeon .”

 

  “Could you please open the front door for us?”

 

  Although Han Taegu had received the spare house key from Kang Do-jun with Lee Yeonwoo’s permission, he asked Lee Yeonwoo to open the door first as a matter of courtesy.

 

  ‘So he had the door locked.’

 

  Always wondering why he bothered to lock the door, Lee Yeonwoo finally understood Kang Do-jun’s intention.

 

  As Lee Yeonwoo did not move from his spot and just stared at them, Han Taegu, thinking his voice might not have reached through the window, requested louder.

 

“The door! Please open the front door!”

 

  Upon hearing that, Lee Yeonwoo, on the contrary, locked even the window latch with a clunk.

 

  It was revenge, but not revenge, for Han Taegu who made him realize that he had been a substitute after exploiting all that could be exploited.

 

  “…The door, it’s locked?”

 

  Shin Gihyeon  stuttered as he saw the window lock engaged. Lee Yeonwoo stared back defiantly at them beyond the window.

 

  Han Taegu made a face as if he didn’t understand. Lee Yeonwoo was known for his unexpected and abrupt actions.

 

  He tried pushing the firmly closed window and even made a gesture asking him to open it, but Lee Yeonwoo stubbornly kept his mouth shut and absolutely refused to open the door.

 

  It was a bit dumbfounding, but understanding Lee Yeonwoo’s thoughts was still a significant hurdle for Han Taegu. Eventually, after a sigh, he found the spare key in his bag and opened the front door.

 

  “Please go in first.”

 

  “Yes.”

 

  Thinking that the landlord was a bit peculiar, Shin Gihyeon  entered the house. He hadn’t even taken off his shoes when the landlord who came out of the room was staring at him.

 

  At first glance, it seemed like he was trying to intimidate him. However, the combination of the chewed-up look of the fringe as if a rat had nibbled it, and the gentle eyes drooping down, was only funny and not intimidating at all.

 

  “…Hello.”

 

  There was no reaction from the landlord to his greeting. His dark eyes were just staring at him. Shin Gihyeon  eventually greeted formally once more.

 

  “My name is Shin Gihyeon . Nice to meet you.”

 

  Lee Yeonwoo stared at Shin Gihyeon ‘s extended hand and eventually took it.

 

  “Yes, nice to meet you. I’m Lee Yeonwoo.”

 

  How dare you make me a substitute? Lee Yeonwoo gripped the hand he was holding in his boiling rage.

 

  Shin Gihyeon ‘s eyebrows twitched slightly. Even though they had just met today, he felt a sense of repulsion from him. And despite his smaller physique, his grip was strong.

 

  Lee Yeonwoo, who had built up his strength on a deep-sea fishing vessel and laid the groundwork in the military, didn’t have a muscular build, so his lines were slim, but he could assure that his built-in strength was stronger than others.

 

  While they were engaged in an unseen battle of strength, Kang Do-jun’s door opened.

 

  “Hyung! Are you up?”

 

  “Ah, you didn’t go for a walk today, I guess?”

 

  Even as Lee Yeonwoo spoke to Kang Do-jun with sparkling eyes, he didn’t loosen the grip on Shin Gihyeon ‘s hand.

 

  “Yes. I’m not in the mood for a walk.”

 

  Expressing his feelings without hesitation, Kang Do-jun laughed as if he couldn’t help wondering why, then paused when he noticed the handshaking.

 

  Shin Gihyeon  greeted him with a broad smile.

 

  “Hello, senior! I happen to be a guest here. Please take care of me!”

 

  Kang Do-jun noticed the camera thrust in front of him and looked at PD Han Taegu, who was standing at a distance behind him.

 

  So the reason Lee Yeonwoo had asked for a favor until yesterday was because of the guest’s arrival.

 

  Moreover, the guest’s face was familiar. It was rather more difficult not to recognize him, as they happened to overlap in several projects.

 

  “Nice to meet you, Mr. Shin Gihyeon . Please take care of me.”

 

  Shin Gihyeon , who had been a long-time fan of Kang Do-jun, couldn’t hide his excitement when he offered a handshake. He let go of the hand he had been holding with Lee Yeonwoo and took his hand with a trembling heart.

 

  Despite his agency’s advice against appearing in variety shows, he insisted on being included as a guest. It was worth it.

 

  He had deliberately overlapped with several projects to make himself more memorable to Kang Do-jun. Whenever Kang Do-jun appeared in a work, he was always the supporting role. But it was okay.

 

  However, there was an invisible line for him, making it always difficult to approach. Even the handshake was his first.

 

  “Yes, senior! We meet again. Please take care of me.”

 

  Lee Yeonwoo pulled at Kang Do-jun’s clothes.

 

  “Hyung, what should we eat for breakfast? I made food since I didn’t go for a walk.”

 

  “Did you? Well done.”

 

  Kang Do-jun tousled Lee Yeonwoo’s hair, giving him praise while he was proudly saying he had cooked.

 

  At this sight, a sense of bewilderment arose in Shin Gihyeon ‘s heart.

 

  ‘What? Hasn’t it been less than a week since they met?’

 

  Although they were strangers, he had spent more time with Kang Do-jun while working on numerous projects. Yet, somehow, Kang Do-jun seemed much closer to Lee Yeonwoo than to him, and without any hesitation.

 

  ‘Why?’

 

  The Kang Do-jun he had been a fan of so far was not the type to get close to others quickly. That’s why his relationship with him had been lukewarm.

 

  Although Shin Gihyeon  was puzzled, he was determined to take this opportunity to get closer by changing the honorific to ‘hyung’.

 

  Shin Gihyeon  proposed with a bright smile.

 

  “I brought some packed meals from a lunchbox store on the way here. Would you like to have that for breakfast?”

 

  Lee Yeonwoo looked at him with a sulky expression. He had just proudly mentioned cooking, and Shin Gihyeon ‘s suggestion seemed like nonsense.

 

  Even if Shin Gihyeon  didn’t intend it, he had ignored his sincerity after setting him up as a substitute. Shin Gihyeon ‘s image fell even further in Lee Yeonwoo’s mind.

 

  “Hyung.”

 

  Lee Yeonwoo called out to Kang Do-jun in a short, forceful way. His gaze was compelling him to make a choice.

 

  Shin Gihyeon  was quick-witted. He had instantly sensed that Lee Yeonwoo disliked him, although he didn’t know why.

 

  Lee Yeonwoo appeared young. His age was still young and immature, and at such times, it was important to establish dominance from the outset.

 

  To voice his opinion, he stared at Kang Do-jun and spoke.

 

  “Senior, isn’t it troublesome to prepare a table from scratch in the morning? Wouldn’t it be more convenient to eat the packed meals?”

 

  Caught between the two, Kang Do-jun proposed an opinion after a bit of contemplation. It was a very clever solution to separate the side dishes from the packed meal and eat them with the rice that Lee Yeonwoo had cooked.

 

  However, no matter how good the solution was, there was opposition.

 

  “Isn’t it troublesome?”

 

  Lee Yeonwoo insisted that they give the packed meals to the staff who hadn’t eaten breakfast yet, and they themselves should eat the side dishes they had received from Grandma Kyeongyi yesterday.

 

  Shin Gihyeon , who absolutely would not back down, stood against him.

 

  “Ah, knowing that might happen, I also bought enough for the staff.”

 

  Lee Yeonwoo looked at him with a sullen gaze.

 

  From the first day the guest arrived, Kang Do-jun’s peaceful country life began to falter a bit.
