Chapter 64

Chapter 66: Confirmed Appearance

After hearing his words, Hyo-ri felt a bit guilty. They were both busy with work and didn't spend much time together. Even when they had time off, they couldn't go out and play or wander around together. He had even given up his favorite hobby of traveling to take care of her.

"Then let's work together," Hyo-ri said seriously, looking at him.

"Of course we should work together. I heard from Shi-ge that there's a handsome actor in the cast of this variety show. What if you get attracted to him? I have to keep a close eye on you!" Lee Shin-haeng said, pretending to be jealous.

"Hey, Lee Shin-haeng, am I the kind of woman who can't resist temptation? Although... although I sometimes like to look at handsome men, my favorite is still you."

"Finally, you admitted it, huh? Hmph h mph!!"

"But... but Oppa, aren't you the same? You always stay in the café and look at beautiful women, don't you think I know?"

"Hey! I... I don't look at beautiful women in the café. I just go there because I'm bored at home." Lee Shin-haeng, of course, wouldn't admit it.

"You say you don't, but why are you so nervous now?" Hyo-ri asked, grabbing his collar.

"I'm not nervous at all. You must have been hit by what I said. You want to meet handsome men during the variety show, so you're reacting so strongly now."

"Hey, I'm not like that. And where did you hear there are handsome men?"

"See, see, as soon as you hear about handsome men, you react like this. Let go of me, or I'll do something!" Lee Shin-haeng said, gritting his teeth.

"I won't let go. What can you do to me?" Hyo-ri tightened her grip on his clothes even more.

"If you don't let go, don't blame me for acting." Lee Shin-haeng glared at Hyo-ri and raised his hand.

Hyo-ri also glared at him, gritting her teeth.

Lee Shin-haeng 'hmpf' and reached out his hand toward Hyo-ri.

"Hey! Hey! Hey!... Hahaha... It's... It's ticklish... Stop... Hahaha..."

"Stinky cat, admit defeat, and I'll let you go." Lee Shin-haeng put his hands on Hyo-ri's waist and tickled her.

"Ha... Ha... No... Ha... Ha... I won't admit defeat..." Hyo-ri struggled to say.

"Oh! You won't admit defeat? I advise you not to resist uselessly. Watch me use my ultimate move." He put her on the sofa, grabbed her feet, and tickled her soles.

"No... Hahaha... Help... Hahaha... Ha... Ha... Ha... I... I admit defeat... Hahaha..." Unable to bear it, Hyo-ri quickly surrendered.

"That's better. If you had surrendered earlier, it would have been better~!" He released her feet and sat back on the carpet to eat his midnight snack.

Now, Hyo-ri didn't even have the energy to roll her eyes.

This was just a playful moment between them. They weren't really arguing or angry. Both of them liked to play out scenarios, and they often did so at home.

After a while, Hyo-ri, who had regained her strength, got up and continued eating her shaved ice.

"By the way, kitty, what should I pay attention to when filming the variety show?" Lee Shin-haeng asked.

"Hmm, Oppa, you don't need to worry about that. Shi-ge will pass the topics to you. As long as Oppa reacts quickly and picks up the topics, it'll be fine. Before filming starts, Oppa should watch more variety shows at home and learn from others. But the most direct way is to go to Shi-ge. After all, he's the one who brought you into the variety show." Hyo-ri gave Lee Shin-haeng a mischievous idea.

"You're right. I should go to Shi-ge and learn more from him." Lee Shin-haeng nodded in agreement.

While talking on the phone with Ra Jung-eun, Liu Zai-shi suddenly shivered, feeling something bad was about to happen.

But he didn't pay much attention to it, scratched his head, and continued to express his longing to Ra Jung-eun.

.................................................................................................................................

That morning, Lee Shin-haeng got up as usual to exercise.

In recent days, Lee Shin-haeng had been studying variety shows online and calling Liu Zai-shi to discuss his ideas. When Liu Zai-shi had time, he would also share some variety show experience with Lee Shin-haeng.

After finishing his exercise and making breakfast, he went upstairs to wash up.

As soon as he entered the bedroom, Lee Shin-haeng saw Hyo-ri's peculiar sleeping posture. She was almost lying across the bed, sprawled out in all directions. When he got closer, he could see that her eyes were slightly open, which was one of her habits—sleeping with her eyes half-open. (If you watch "We Got Married," you can usually see this in the morning.)

Lee Shin-haeng didn't wake her up and went directly to the bathroom to shower.

The cool water sprayed out, landing on Lee Shin-haeng's broad chest, flowing over his well-defined abs, and running down his strong, long legs to the ground. He wet his hair and applied shampoo, starting to rub it.

"My hair is a bit long. I need to get it cut," Lee Shin-haeng thought as he washed his hair.

Seemingly disturbed by the water sound from the open bathroom door, Hyo-ri's eyes moved a few times before slowly opening. She first stretched lazily, then rolled around on the bed a few times before slowly sitting up.

She rubbed her eyes, yawned, and got out of bed, walking into the bathroom.

Ignoring Lee Shin-haeng, who was showering, Hyo-ri opened the toilet lid and sat down.

Hearing the sound, Lee Shin-haeng, who was washing his hair, asked in her direction, "Kitty, are you up?"

"Oppa, when did you come back? I'll help you rub your back," Hyo-ri said, pressing the flush button and standing up.

"Wait, let me adjust the water temperature first. Your period is coming soon, don't catch a cold now." Hearing that she was about to come over, Lee Shin-haeng immediately stopped her.

After he adjusted the water temperature, he let Hyo-ri take the loofah and rub his back.

"Kitty, my hair is a bit long. What hairstyle do you think I should get?" Lee Shin-haeng asked, leaning against the wall.

Hearing his words, Hyo-ri reached out and rubbed his black hair, saying, "It is a bit long. I'll look on the computer and think about what hairstyle to give you."

Lee Shin-haeng turned his head in confusion and asked, "Aren't you going out later?"

"I'll go out at noon," Hyo-ri replied.

"Oh, okay. I can wash myself. You go down and eat breakfast. I made steamed eggs for you. They'll get cold if you wait too long." Lee Shin-haeng patted her bottom and said.

"Ugh, it's all wet." Hyo-ri pouted and obediently walked out of the bathroom.

After eating breakfast, Hyo-ri took her laptop and sat in the living room, searching for popular men's hairstyles this year.

Lee Shin-haeng took a portable box from the storage room, placed it on the empty ground next to the living room, and opened it. He took out a plastic sheet and laid it on the ground to collect the hair, so it wouldn't scatter everywhere. After cutting the hair, he could easily gather it into a garbage bag by folding the plastic sheet, making it easier to clean up.
