Chapter 37

Kwon Eun-Mi, who was facing Woo-Jin, could not hide her blushing face. She knew that he was only acting, but Woo-Jin's voice was so sweet that it made her heart race. Before she could regain her composure, Woo-Jin hugged Kwon Eun-Mi with the sheet still wrapped around her, and laid down next to her. Kwon Eun-Mi took a deep breath in a bid to calm her pounding heart, unintentionally making herself look adorable.

"Don't you think it's too much to go to work on a day like this?"

"I think you're too much."

"Should we just roll around in bed all day?"

Woo-Jin, who was laying on top of Kwon Eun-Mi, gently pressed his body against hers, stroking her body with one hand. The intention behind his gesture was so clear that it made it hard for Kwon Eun-Mi, as well as the staff on set, to control their beating hearts. The scene in front of them somehow stimulated a sense of lust and voyeuristic desires as it felt like they were peeking into the private life of a pair of lovers.

"Why do your eyes, nose, and mouth look so pretty? You look so perfect that I don't want to leave your side."

The way Woo-Jin looked at Kwon Eun-Mi was as though he was looking at his lover. Woo-Jin smiled at her as he touched the various parts of her face, and Kwon Eun-Mi was slowly absorbed into her role as his lover.

"Pfft, you know, saying that somehow makes you seem like a playboy?"

"Oh my, I guess you have to work harder to hold on to the playboy."

"So you're not denying it huh?"

"I love looking at your jealous expression."

Even though Woo-Jin was gentle and sweet, the character that he was playing was extremely domineering. In his past life, regardless of how much he loved others, he could not get rid of his tendency to dominate them. Nevertheless, his candid face was only reserved for his lover and no one else.

Kwon Eun-Mi was drunk on her emotions. Instead of worrying when they would meet again, she was seducing Woo-Jin with her body language. Even if not for the whole day, she was just trying to get Woo-Jin to spend a little more time with her.. Kwon Eun-Mi wrapped her arms around Woo-Jin, pressing her voluptuous bosom against him, and Woo-Jin let out a long sigh. The sigh was not one of rejection, and Kwon Eun-Mi became aroused by hearing it.

She subconsciously bent her back and burrowed between Woo-Jin's legs. Upon seeing that, Woo-Jin twisted his lips slightly, as though he was trying to hold back his laughter. He got up and sat on top of Kwon Eun-Mi, who was lying down. With Kwon Eun-Mi locked between his legs, Woo-Jin looked down, grabbed his tie, and loosened it. The necktie clip reflected the morning sunlight and sparkled brilliantly.

Woo-Jin, who looked like he was going to pounce on Kwon Eun-Mi, smiled impishly for a moment as he picked Kwon Eun-Mi up with the sheet around her and held her in his arms.

"Oh my!"

Woo-Jin got out of bed and lifted Kwon Eun-Mi up, supporting her waist and hips with both arms. Looking down at Woo-Jin, Kwon Eun-Mi managed to hold on to the sheet, which was about to slide down with both hands and covered her chest. However, her back remained exposed and the sheet, which was covering only her hips and private areas, barely separated Woo-Jin and Kwon Eun-Mi.

Even though Woo-Jin was holding on to her tightly, she felt uneasy and wrapped her legs around Woo-Jin's waist and naturally placed her arms on his shoulders. As the sheet covering her chest slid down, Woo-Jin's arms moved skilfully to hide her from other people's gazes.

"I want to spend the whole day with you like this but I have to go to work."

"I guess...you should..."

Upon hearing those words, Kwon Eun-Mi unknowingly flinched, but there was nothing that she could do. At this moment, she truly felt as though Woo-Jin was her lover. Under normal circumstances, Kwon Eun-Mi would be unable to keep her cool especially since she was practically naked while being held by a man whom she had just met. As if that was not enough, Woo-Jin also had a full view of her breasts.

Every time Woo-Jin exhaled, the feeling of his breath brushing against her skin felt strange. Furthermore, the combination of Woo-Jin's body being wrapped around her legs and the feeling when he stroked her bare back made her whole body heat up. Nonetheless, it was not awkward or embarrassing at all, because it all felt very natural and real.

As a famous model, not only had Kwon Eun-Mi participated in fashion week in Korea, but she had also participated in fashion weeks abroad. She had done several fashion photoshoots with other models. With experience under her belt, she had done many similar, if not more raunchy photoshoots as compared to this one. Whenever she did those photoshoots, she would try to act calm and undaunted but on the inside, she struggled with the shame that came with it. When she had to work with a male model throughout the shoot, their lewd and lustful gaze was the most insulting thing she experienced. There were also some male models who would secretly stroke her body or touch her inappropriately and pretend it was an accident all while laughing creepily.

Not every single one of the models that she had worked with acted that way, but it was very rare for her to remain entirely calm and composed during the shoot. Even the well-mannered professional male models could not hide the excitement in their eyes and body language.

But now, there was no reason for her to feel ashamed because she truly felt as if she was loved. There was nothing to be ashamed of baring your breasts and naked body to your beloved lover. There was no lust or excitement detected in Woo-Jin's gaze. There was only a warm look in his eyes, like he was looking at something beautiful and precious to him.

"Then kiss me."

"Kiss?"

"You have to give your lover a kiss when he leaves for work! Don't you know that?"

"No."

Kwon Eun-Mi kissed Woo-Jin's forehead as she smiled even though she thought it was nonsensical. Naturally, she chose to kiss his forehead because her head was above his eye level.

"No." Woo-Jin repeated Kwon Eun-Mi's words back to her and tilted his head back. Kwon Eun-Mi could not hold back her laughter and pecked Woo-Jin lightly on the lips, as if to pacify her childish lover.

At this moment, the wind blew and the red bed sheet that was barely separating the two of them fluttered, causing Kwon Eun-Mi's body to be hidden from the camera. The red sheet between the man in a black suit; the pale-skinned woman in his arms, who had wrapped herself around his body, created a perfect harmony of colors. The photoshoot of the lovers version had now come to an end.

To prepare for the second photoshoot, they had to redo Kwon Eun-Mi's makeup to create the illusion of smudged makeup after their affair the previous night. It was similar to the makeup they had done initially, but it was more glamorous and seductive.

"It feels like I'm watching a movie. My heart can't stop racing." Unable to subdue her excitement, the editor grabbed Kim Jun-Yeol and started shaking him.

"Honestly, when I first saw Mr. Chae Woo-Jin, I thought that he was going to overshadow Kwon Eun-Mi but oh my god! How does he create such chemistry while bringing out the best sides of both of them?" said the editor.

"Thanks to that, we've gotten some good shots."

Kim Jun-Yeol frowned as he looked at the photo of Woo-Jin and Kwon Eun-Mi kissing, which was taken towards the end of the shoot, when Woo-Jin was sitting on top of her on the bed while loosening his tie. All the photos looked so good that he could not decide which ones to pick. For now, the two photos that he had selected for publishing were perfect, but in truth, it would be a shame if they were to trash the rest. They were as good as the previous models' best photos.

"Was the behind-the-scenes video well taken?"

"Of course! But can we even release it? It's too explicit."

Kwon Eun-Mi had shown too much skin; it would be difficult to upload the behind-the-scenes video on the internet for everyone to watch.

"We have to add mosaics to the places that need it."

"But it'll ruin the look of it. The video looks really pretty, like a movie. It would be such a pity to use mosaics."

"I'm not talking about the sloppy-looking mosaics. Leave it to the experts. There's a guy in our team who's good at doing that, just leave it to him."

"Really?"

"If we upload it, it'll probably cause a stir." The editor agreed with what Kim Jun-Yeol had said.

While they were watching the photoshoot, everyone, including Kim Jun-Yeol and the editor, found it hard to contain their excitement. It was a moment where they felt as though they were secretly spying on the passionate love between an actual couple, like they were watching a scene from a movie. Every time Kim Jun-Yeol pressed the shutter button, a work of art was captured and produced.

There was no need to talk about how good Woo-Jin was; even Kwon Eun-Mi had shown a very beautiful side of her that had exceeded expectations. She was so perfect today; instead of thinking about how much skin she was showing, she was so perfect that they were wondering if she was really that beautiful.

To begin with, Kwon Eun-Mi already had a reputation for having a great figure, but people had felt that she was too risqué at times. Since she was very sexy and had a body that stimulated men's desires, the image people wanted from her was limited. Hence, the editor was visibly upset upon hearing that Kwon Eun-Mi was cast for this photoshoot instead of the model from the previous photoshoot. The editor felt that Kwon Eun-Mi's image was too erotic for a photoshoot that was advertising luxury goods.

However, she agreed when the client said that a photo with both a successful man and a beautiful woman had to be included in the photoshoot. Any man would want to have a secret love affair with Kwon Eun-Mi. Having her would make anyone the object of envy. But today, Kwon Eun-Mi had thrown aside all the prejudice towards her about being nothing but sexy and risqué. She was simply beautiful. Being with Chae Woo-Jin automatically made even someone like her give off the impression that they were classy, and that she naturally deserved to be loved in that manner.

Just like what Kim Jun-Yeol had said, if the video were to get uploaded, both Chae Woo-Jin and Kwon Eun-Mi would ride a new wave of popularity. Suddenly, the editor felt it was such a shame. They were two versions, but ultimately, only one of them would be published in the magazine. It was evident that the next version would be as amazing, but one of them had to be tossed out. With only one photo per outfit, the page count had already been predetermined.

"There's no reason for us to do that. I'm the team leader, so screw it!

The editor's eyes suddenly lit up and she started to look for the fashion coordinator.

"Are there any outfits which we haven't used from the ones you've brought today?"

"There's one suit left. Why?"

"Get Chae Woo-Jin to change into it."

"Why does he have to change his clothes... Ah! Instead of abandoning one of them, you want to add one more page?" The quick-witted fashion coordinator understood what she meant. While she looked forward to the next shoot, she had also felt it was a shame that they had to let go of one of them. Hence, she was secretly hoping that this would happen.

"But will the editor-in-chief approve of this?"

"If it were you, wouldn't you want to look at those photos?"

"Of course I would."

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Their exchange was short and they acted quickly. Woo-Jin took off his black suit and changed into the extra suit that the fashion coordinator had brought.The dark wine double-breasted suit was excluded because it seemed too hot for the current season, but it had nothing to do with the current situation.

In order to accentuate the 'cool' vibes, even by a little, they styled Woo-Jin's hair, making it look slightly disheveled, and they made him wear a simple platinum ring on the ring finger of his left hand.

"Is it an affair and not a one-night stand?"

Judging from the design of the ring and placement on his finger, it was a wedding ring. Furthermore, it was evidently an affair, since he was greeting a woman in the morning who did not seem to be his wife after they had spent the night. Nobody answered Woo-Jin's question; everyone quietly avoided making eye contact with him and got up.

"It seems like we're having an affair this time." Woo-Jin approached Kwon Eun-Mi who was posing on the bed. He sat speechlessly next to her.

"Fashionable trash, huh."

"Trash is trash. All they do is pollute the surroundings."

"In that case, am I the side trash that has been contaminated by another trash? And then being thrown away miserably?" Kwon Eun-Mi rolled her eyes while picturing the image. She smiled gratifying shortly after.

At first, she wanted to go for the 'vixen' vibe, but after hearing what Woo-Jin said, she felt that it would be okay for her to become a bad girl who was gradually getting tainted by bad boys.

"Even if a beautiful woman like yourself gets abandoned, you'll fight for your man. Beautiful women are well-aware that they would never lose their dignity till the very end."

"But beauty fades with age. Every single day is akin to a scary time bomb to them."

"While racing against time, you end up getting entangled with trash like me."

Kwon Eun-Mi agreed with Woo-Jin's conclusion and nodded. As a result, it allowed her to decide on a rough image for this shoot.
