Chapter 50: An inexplicable sense of crisis
I could faintly hear the sound of an alarm clock ringing beside me.
But the swelling in her temples made Kim Seolhyun not want to get up from the sofa at all.
She closed her eyes and frowned, trying hard to recall what happened last night.
Well…after the filming, it seems that I organized a birthday surprise with the crew and celebrated Do Hwan’s birthday.
Kim Seolhyun recalled that she drank a glass of champagne handed to her by senior Ma Dongseok at the dinner party, which tasted sweet and delicious.
As a result, I couldn't control myself and drank too much.
The memory of what happened next disappeared completely. She shouldn't have done anything out of line, nor did she reveal the little secrets in her heart, right?
Kim Seolhyun couldn't help but get nervous. She opened her eyes carefully and smelled a pleasant scent of butter, which immediately aroused her greed.
She swallowed, covered her heavy head and stood up, only to find that she was covered with a blanket.
There was also a blanket on the single sofa next to it.
Kim Seolhyun thought of a possibility and reached out to feel the temperature of the blanket, and sure enough, there was still some warmth left.
So Do-hwan was worried that I would vomit at night, so he stayed with me all night?
No, it's not certain it's him.
Jin Xuexuan tiptoed towards the kitchen. After seeing the familiar figure, she couldn't help but feel happy. The upward curve of her mouth was a visible happiness:
"Good morning, Cho Hwan. What are you doing?"
"Seolhyun, aren't you going to get some sleep?"
Jiang Zhaohuan put the French toast fried with butter on the plate without even turning his head, and explained,
"I'll make some breakfast for you. I've put some honey and cold water in the cup next to you. Add some hot water, stir it, and drink it."
Originally, Jiang Zhaohuan was planning to make a hangover soup, but the ingredients in the villa were too scarce, so he had to use honey water instead.
"Ne~Kang Sanmidha."
Kim Seolhyun picked up the kettle and poured some hot water into the cup, stirred it, and drank it quickly.
After drinking the warm and sweet honey water, I felt that my dizzy head was much better.
She felt that her physical condition had improved a little, so she rolled up her sleeves and offered to help.
"Diaohuan, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Hmm...why don't you help wash some cherry tomatoes? Pour some flour in the water, rub it and rinse it clean."
Kang Do Hwan was not impressed with the cooking skills of the female idols, especially Kim Seol Hyun.
Kim Seolhyun once volunteered to shoot a commercial before and almost caused a fire on the set.
Having someone to help prepare the fruit can indeed reduce the workload.
After Kang Do-hwan finished making the French toast and the simple bacon and egg omelette, footsteps were heard on the stairs.
When he brought all the plates to the table, he saw Gong Yoo with his hands on his head and a dejected look on his face.
"Gong Liu, would you like some honey water? Breakfast is ready."
"Ah... Cho Hwan, you've worked so hard. You were the one who carried me back to the bedroom yesterday, right?"
Gong Yoo reached out to take the honey water and drank it all. He noticed the dark circles under Jiang Zhaohuan's eyes and spoke with gratitude in his tone.
"It's just a small favor, can you wake up the others? Breakfast won't taste good if it's cold."
"Well, I'll go call them over."
Amidst the praises from everyone, Jiang Zhaohuan felt a little embarrassed.
He didn't think he had done anything special, he just simply didn't want the crew's filming progress to be delayed.
Well, to put it bluntly... he is really very ambitious in his career.
After finishing her delicious meal early, Kim Seolhyun sneaked into the next room to weigh herself.
After seeing that I had gained a pound, I returned to the living room with a sad face. It seemed that I would have to eat boiled chicken breast again starting from lunch.
She stood up and went to the bathroom to wash her face, but found "Distant Journey" on the coffee table.
I didn't know whose book it was, but I took a look out of curiosity. Unexpectedly, a postcard fell out of it.
Kim Seolhyun hurriedly picked it up and carefully brushed off the dust, but inadvertently glanced at the contents on it.
She quickly looked at the signature in the lower right corner. That familiar English—it was her?
This is a handwritten letter from Irene to Do Hwan, but why is it placed in a book? The originally happy mood was replaced by an inexplicable sense of crisis.
Kim Seolhyun bit her lip lightly as she recalled the interaction between the two of them on stage.
Could it be that the long-term interactions between couples have made them develop feelings for each other?
She caught a glimpse of Kang Do-hwan coming out of the kitchen, quickly put the postcard back to its original place, and placed the novel on the coffee table.
Kim Seolhyun pretended to be searching for something in her bag, but her mind was in a mess.
She really wanted to ask, but her personality made it impossible for her to do such a thing.
Besides, their relationship didn’t seem close enough to ask such private questions.
Until now, Do Hwan has always called himself "Seolhyun senior".
Obviously, he has changed the way he addresses other seniors in the crew to "Brother" or "Nuna".
Kim Seol Hyun suppressed the impulse in her heart, took out the birthday gift she prepared from her bag, and handed it to Kang Do Hwan while trying to maintain a smile on her face:
"Diaohuan, I couldn't give you your present yesterday, remember to open it in your room."
“Hmm? Ah, sorry for the expense, Seolhyun…”
"Stop calling me senior. It's obvious that you're not calling anyone else a senior, so why should you treat them specially?"
Kim Seolhyun really didn't want to hear the word "senior" which made her unhappy. Every time she heard it, she felt like Kang Do Hwan was trying to push her away.
Jiang Zhaohuan scratched his cheek. According to the rules of the peninsula, he couldn't call her by her name.
And that name is somewhat too intimate and not appropriate.
He originally thought that "senior" should sound younger than "Nuna", so he never changed his name.
"Then...Seolhyunnu?"
"Neh, call me Noona from now on."
Kim Seolhyun also has her own little selfish desires. At least in her opinion, "Nuna" is closer than "Irene xi".
Thinking about the photo shoot that would take place soon, she playfully put her hands behind her back and said with a smile:
"But remember not to call me Noona in the drama, our Rongguo~"
Only at times like this can she be a little bolder.
Jiang Zhaohuan nodded in understanding. He didn't think much about it. After all, Rongguo and Zhenxi did like each other in the movie.
He picked up the gift in his hand and shook it, saying calmly:
"Yes, I understand. As for the gift, thank you, Noona. I will make good use of it."
"Hey? Have you guessed what's inside?"
"It says Acca Kappa on the outside. It should be a perfume, right?"
Kim Seolhyun opened her mouth, and then she noticed that the English on the wrapping paper was exposed.
She smiled helplessly, raised her fist and imitated Zhenxi's overbearing look:
"Well, you must use it well. This is the flavor I picked for a long time."
"Yes, I will."
After Kang Do-hwan returned to his room and washed up, he opened the box and saw that it contained Acca Kappa's White Moss perfume.
He had bought it before, and he liked the cedar note in the base. The overall scent of this perfume is very clean and gentle.
A few minutes later, Ma Dongxi's loud voice came from downstairs:
"Do-hwan, it's time to get ready to go to the shooting location!"
"Yes! Right here!"
He put it back into the box. Of course he couldn't spray perfume when he was going to take pictures.
It’s better to wait until you use it in private.
Happy New Year, additional updates will be posted at 20:.
Sister Pei’s next appearance will be in Chapter 55. The updates these two days will focus on Kim Seolhyun and Twice.
