Romancing Miss Sunshine

13. Sugar Rush

Author's Note: too much sugar.

The day after they became an official couple, he visited her filming location during his break, since they were scheduled on different locations that day.

She could easily get ulcer problems, so she had to have lunch on time, but he deliberately postponed his so he could have it with her sitting beside him.

"When did it start to become mutual? You're so good in guarding your feelings that I found it hard to read when you're being a friendly junior or when you were trying not to fall for me."

".......when was it ever not mutual?"

He choked on his rice.

As he coughed and gasped for air, she laughed, but her hands moved to reach for her water bottle and opened it.

After he could breathe again and had gulped enough water, he raspily announced "You'll be the death of me."

She giggled at that and seeing that, he inhaled deeply. Being close to her equaled air for him. Fresher, cleaner air.

"Kim Go Eun, explain yourself. You were all "Sunbae, you'll make me misuderstand." Don't you dare saying it's been mutual since the beginning."

She was looking at him with that look, her eyes full of hearts look, and he wanted to kiss her, but he had to finish his lunch first.

"I was crushing on you like how girls crush at cool seniors in college since day one of filming. I just told myself I need to behave well. I didn't want to embarrass myself."

"If you liked me since the first day then you should've answered me sooner, Eunni-yah! Dear, Lord! Why did you keep pushing me away? We could have dated before the new year!!!"

"It didn't seem logical back then. You, liking me."

"I liked you since our first meeting!"

She blushed and looked away.

"Don't go blushing now, I can't kiss you, I'm eating!"

She burst out laughing.

"I felt that I had to keep the brakes. I really loved the story of this drama. I liked working with you. You gave lots of hints that you liked me, but I kept telling myself that I should keep my feet on the ground. Don't get carried away. You might be sweet just to build chemistry, or well, you might be like that to all the girls you had your eyes on."

"You waited to see how sincere I was, right?"

Go Eun turned to take a better look at him. He was still finishing his meal.

"Ne. How did you know that?"

"I felt it in my guts. So I just held on. Pushed through. Rained you with attention."

"........will you stop raining me with attention now that we're dating?"

He stared at her as if she grew two extra heads.

"Are you kidding me? I'm going to give you a storm of attention! I haven't even started, Kim Go Eun!"

She smiled that sweet smile that always made him went crazy.

"So you started liking me only after the new year?"

"I started liking you as..... a guy I might be with and not just the Hallyu star in December."

"Why? What made you changed your mind?"

"That night we camped at that penthouse in Busan. Remember that? You were really serious when we brainstorm the script. I knew you were sleep-deprived, but we needed to analyze the script together and you tried to read your lines in different tones. I thought, omo, this man loves acting as much as I do."
