Chapter 130. Photo Shoot (5)

“Don’t worry. Some fresh air will make me feel better quickly.”

Lee-Seob slowly straightened up and gazed into the distance. The backyard was bathed in afternoon sunlight. He walked slowly to a flimsy chair under the shade of a tree and sat down carelessly. He leaned back with his hands in his pockets, but his long body threatened to slide off the small chair at any moment.

In his attempt to find a more comfortable position, he raised one leg to rest his foot against the tree trunk in front of him. Only then did he lean back again and close his eyes.

Minkyung watched him anxiously in that precarious position, her hands stretched out around his head for fear that he might fall. He remained motionless for a while, as if dead. The tree’s shadow covered them both. The wind that blew caused the leaves to sway and rustle. Lights and shadows danced on his pale face.

She wanted to caress his ashen face. She wanted to hold him close, soothe him, and let him rest on her. These feelings were new to her, so she bit her inner lip in bewilderment.

After a few minutes, his chest began to rise and fall steadily. Minkyung sighed in relief.

Lee-Seob barely opened his eyes as if dazzled by a bright light. He looked up at Minkyung, who was right above his head, and smiled faintly.

“Are you alright?”

“No.”

“Do you feel very unwell? Is there anything I can do…?”

“Don’t just stand there like that.”

“Huh?”

He gestured with his hand. Minkyung bent forward to close the distance.

“Kiss me.”

“We’re in a studio.”

“What does that matter? There are models who even do nude shoots.”

She found it a completely ridiculous argument.

“I’m not a model.”

“That’s why I didn’t ask you to take off your clothes, just to kiss me.”

Minkyung lowered her gaze.

“If you do that… I think maybe I’ll feel better.”

At his words, she immediately leaned down. Their lips brushed softly.

“Do you feel better now?”

“Yes.”

Lee-Seob reached out and caressed Minkyung’s cheek.

“It’s a real jackpot.”

“It’s the best of the best. Even an unknown model would instantly become a star with photos like these.”

Immediately after the shoot, See-ah and the photographer couldn’t hide their excitement. In contrast, Lee-Seob seemed skeptical while Minkyung didn’t know how to feel. Lee-Seob’s vibe was slightly different in each photo. In some photos he radiated sensuality, in others he projected an almost impenetrable coldness, and in a few he had a youthful look with eyes full of innocence.

Minkyung was particularly bothered by the photos where his ankles were exposed, his legs were spread wide, and his muscles were peeking through the open shirts. Especially in the final concept photos, where Lee-Seob appeared in an unbuttoned black shirt. He looked exhausted, which made him even sexier. If there hadn’t been cameras around at the time, she would have thrown herself into his arms, run her fingers through his thick hair and kissed him.
