DWWWB Ch 9 part 2

To protect PD Han’s privacy, he appeared wearing a mask from a horror movie.

“We’ll start with a light warm-up.”

The beginning was smooth. Gong Mujin said that warm-up exercises are the most important when it comes to preventing injuries during exercise. He proceeded to show us the warm-up exercises he usually did.

Gong Mujin’s body, wearing a black sleeveless T-shirt and black shorts, stood out. He looked as strong as a graceful jaguar that was getting ready to run.

In comparison, our ordinary PD Han shrugged his shoulders as if this was nothing and followed Gong Mujin’s orders.

“Shall we start with cardio? We’ll just run a simple 20 km.”

Gong Mujin did not shed a single drop of sweat as he ran steadily on the treadmill. He maintained a steady rhythm while running the 20 km at a relatively fast pace. In contrast, PD Han ran on the treadmill as if he were struggling to run a race. Thankfully, PD Han held up well so far.

However, during the lower body strengthening and core strengthening exercises using various equipment, PD Han said he couldn’t do it anymore and just laid down on the floor.

“I guess you really don’t exercise regularly. You should be able to do this much… You’re really weak.”

Gong Mujin gently teased PD Han in a polite tone. Provoked by this, PD Han jumped up from his seat and sat down in front of the machine again.

“But don’t overdo it. You need to know your body’s condition well before exercising. It might be better not to exercise at all than to overdo it by clinging onto the exercise machines.”

I felt like I could clearly see PD Han’s face behind the mask. Seeing his shoulders move up and down as he breathed heavily was quite a sight.

“But you don’t have to be so disappointed and gloomy. The most important thing about exercise is a positive mind. Just like in life. If you do it little by little consistently, you will soon be close to your goal. Remember, positive mind and consistency.”

I had to hold back my laugh as I watched Gong Mujin treat PD Han as if he were soothing a child.

“Cut!”

Since PD Han was in front of the camera, I called out to end the shoot for him.

“Good job! Let’s wrap things up!”

When he heard the AD’s call, PD Han shouted.

“Wait!”

Everyone looked at PD Han with a bewildered expression. He had since taken off his mask, and his face was bright red to the point of garnering pity.

“Let’s shoot with this concept again when we’re at the end of filming.”

I guess his pride had been a little bruised by his shabby image.

“And also…”

PD Han’s eyes turned to me.

“PD Oh, you practice riding a bike! You’ll be filming again!”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Unfortunately, PD Han would have to work out like crazy for the next shoot, but I was already good at riding a bike. I didn’t want to tell PD Han, who had continued to tease me about my relationship with Gong Mujin, that I was good at riding a bike.

“Yes, I’ll practice!”

Behind me, Gong Mujin, who was wiping the sweat off his neck with a towel, snickered. His arms bulged, perhaps because they had bulked up after a short workout.

My gaze unconsciously drifted towards his muscles. His pretty butt, which was usually tight, looked so bouncy after working out that it looked mouthwatering. I wanted to take off all his clothes, lay him face down on the bed, and take a bite out of his bulging bottom.

What am I thinking?

I flinched and quickly shuddered at the fact that I was standing in the middle of the set, my mind filled with obscene thoughts.

Gong Mujin looked at my face with wide eyes, asking me what was wrong. I shook my head slightly to tell him it was nothing and proceeded to help clean up the set.

“We can have dinner at the restaurant on the first basement floor of the hotel! Dinner hours are from 6:30 to 9:30. The final orders will be taken at 9! Check your room numbers and eat your meals! Breakfast will be available from 5:30 to 9:00 tomorrow, but please finish eating by 8:00 for a smooth shoot!”

Everyone nodded in agreement to the AD’s sharp shout. In the midst of all the commotion, my cell phone vibrated in my pocket.

[Can you come to my room after dinner?]

The person who sent the message was, as expected, Gong Mujin.

[We’ll see.]

I was already contemplating what excuse to tell the AD for leaving the room we shared, but I began to play hard-to-get anyways.

[Come. Okay? I miss you.]

I couldn’t help but chuckle as I looked down at the message he sent. I also wanted to take it all off and look at him.

“What is it? What’s so funny?”

Writer Park quickly approached me and asked.

“No, it’s nothing.”

I quickly lowered my phone to the side of my thigh and shook my head.

“Our PD Oh is acting a bit suspicious…”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

“What’s suspicious? Is a smiling person considered suspicious? Then the most suspicious person in the world is PD Han. He wins the smiling person award.”

Writer Park clapped her hands and burst into laughter. I don’t know how someone with such a low laughter threshold became a variety show writer.

“But our PD Han isn’t so suspicious right now. Look over there. He looks like he’s about to die.”

PD Han was glaring at me with a menacing look.

“Anyways, you two really are fun.”

Writer Park looked back and forth between me and PD Han as she laughed.

As the filming set was starting to get cleaned up, we headed to the restaurant. I wanted to eat dinner quickly. Gong Mujin naturally joined the group I was in for dinner.

We sat at the same table and ate. My heart throbbed at the thought of a secret love affair that no one had noticed.

“Ah, that’s right. PD Oh, remember that person I introduced you to?”

When I heard Writer Park’s sudden remark, the beef short ribs soup broth got stuck in my throat. When I started hacking and coughing, Gong Mujin, who was sitting diagonally across from me, handed me a napkin. I covered my mouth with the napkin and waved my hand at Writer Park.

“What’s wrong? Was there something between you and him?”

I quickly shook my head.

“You guys met up twice, right?”

“Once.”

I quickly corrected the number of meetings. The person that Writer Park introduced me to was a dermatologist who runs a clinic in Gangnam.

“I went there over the weekend. He asked me how PD Oh was doing. He wanted to grab a meal with you sometime. I heard he bought a house in Banpo. He’s a really nice guy. Why don’t you try seeing him one more time?”

Writer Park smiled as if she were sincerely saying this for my own benefit.

“Is he not your type? He seemed really into you, PD Oh.”

I couldn’t just tell Writer Park that I wasn’t into him when she was recommending him so earnestly. But I also couldn’t lie in front of Gong Mujin. Since I couldn’t satisfy either of them, I just laughed awkwardly. I hoped that my strategy of not confirming nor denying would work here too.

After finishing my meal and returning to my room, I quickly took a shower and showed off my poor acting skill as I pretended to have indigestion.

“PD Oh, are you not feeling well?”

“I was so anxious because of the sudden filming schedule, I guess I got sick.”

“That’s right. PD Oh, you can’t eat when you have something on your mind. You seemed to be eating well tonight… I think I have some digestive medicine. Would you like some?”

“No, I think it would be better to just go to a hospital. Don’t tell anyone. I don’t want them to worry.”

I left the room, leaving behind the AD who was at a loss as she held the digestive medicine in her hand. Suddenly, old memories rushed back. I remembered the day I postponed my meeting with my professor by pretending to be sick before running to Gong Mujin.

Even though I often thought that things were different now than they were then, I also found it funny that I still can’t come to my senses because of Gong Mujin.

Well, it’s not like I’m running away from the filming shoot. I’m just trying to date, is that so bad?

Instead of taking the elevator, I took the stairs and arrived in front of Gong Mujin’s room. I rang the doorbell as I panted for breath. Gong Mujin quickly opened the door without saying a word. He stretched out his hand and wrapped it around my waist, helplessly pulling me in.

“Why are you breathing so lewdly?”

“I took, the stairs.”

I gasped out the words as his lips lowered onto my cheek. His hair was damp as if he’d just taken a shower. His face was bright and clean, and his red lips looked delicious. I wrapped my arms around his neck, lifted my foot, and quickly brought my lips to his.

His thick arms wrapped tightly around my waist and hugged me when…

The jarring doorbell rang sharply in the room. I flinched in surprise and quickly pulled away from him.

“Athlete Gong Mujin, are you inside?”

“Our maknae writer wanted to apologize to Athlete Gong Mujin. She said she’s sorry about the last shoot.”

“It’s fine.”

Gong Mujin’s face began to twist. He frowned because he could not turn away someone who had come to apologize.

“Go to the bed and lie down.”

He lowered his voice and whispered.

“What?”

“Go to the bed and lie down.”

“No, not that. Should I just hide in the bathroom?”

“What if they say they need to use the bathroom?”

I didn’t have the time to answer his question, so I quickly ran to the bed and hid myself. I covered myself with the blanket, my heart pounding inside my chest.

Soon, I heard a dull noise as the guest room door opened.

“Our maknae said she couldn’t bear to come alone, so I came with her.”

I could feel Writer Park and the maknae writer’s presence as they entered the room.

“I’m sorry. I said something unnecessary, and the staff atmosphere became such a mess… Athlete Gong Mujin also had to prepare an expensive gift to lift the mood… I’m sorry.”

It’s okay. It’s true that we had an argument that day. I resolved it with PD Oh, so don’t worry. PD Oh may have been stubborn, but it’s true that I was the one who provoked her.”

“See? I told you Athlete Gong Mujin would understand. She was freaking out over nothing. Thank you for understanding. I brought some beer.”

Ah… Writer Park. How could you bring beer with you when the kid was apologizing for something she did when she was drunk?

I held back the urge to burst up and intervene.

“The mistake was made when she was drunk, but I still brought beer. Isn’t that quite funny? I brought it with me to lift the mood.”

It was something the seasoned Writer Park would do.

“Sorry. Let’s just say we drank the beer. Please feel free to go with a light heart. There are no hard feelings here. I currently have a guest here, so…”

“Are you crazy? How can you tell them that?!”

Gong Mujin shrugged his shoulders and grinned. I felt my chest, which had been tense, begin to relax.

“No one will suspect it’s you. Don’t worry. Now that they know I have a girlfriend, they’ll probably focus their attention elsewhere.”

I almost laughed because of how cute he was as he cautiously revealed his jealousy.

“Hnnnng.”

Tears welled up in my eyes for a moment. His confession felt overwhelming as if it had transcended time. Our breakup seemed distant, almost like a dream.

At that time, I was anxious about the vague future and just wanted to love like we did now. That may be why I backed down in face of an imperfect love.

After the first and second teasers of ‘The Direction in Which the Wet Wind blows’ were released, it caused a stir not only domestically but also on SNS with overseas fans. And when the program was released, it became a huge hit, ranking first in overall viewership on OTT sites.

It was only natural. I was the PD who knew best when it came to situations when Gong Mujin looked cool. I poured my heart and soul into the post-production and editing. When the episode where Gong Mujin taught me how to ride a bike was released, the popular search term on SNS was ‘I never let go_Liar’. The video went viral like a meme, and short-form content parodying the scene also took off.

The company, realizing the popularity of the weekly content that was being released, put us on a plane to France to film the last day of the Tour de France.

And so PD Han, Writer Park, and I arrived in Paris on a mid-August day. The tour started in Paris and ended in Paris, not in a small city in France. The tour section changed every time, but this year, this was the program.

The Champs-Élysées was extremely hot in August. Huge crowds of people gathered in the center of Paris to watch the cyclists race towards the finish line.

To convey the local atmosphere to the audience, we interviewed the spectators and filmed restaurants that Gong Mujin frequently visited.

Since I came to France, I have exchanged messages with him often, and I have also talked to him on the phone at least twice. I felt a different sense of ease from the man who had reached the top. And I did not feel anxious or impatient waiting for his call.

A cheer erupted from the crowd. The leading group was entering the Champs-Élysées. Gong Mujin was in the lead as he rode through the orange-colored street. The bicycles of the athletes swayed from side to side as they made their final sprint.

His face was filled with determination as he pedaled with all his might, his jaw clenched. When asked what he thought about while cycling, he said he hoped for a wet wind to blow.

What is he thinking as he rides now?

And Gong Mujin was the first to cross the finish line. It was the moment when his individual overall victory was confirmed once again.

“It’s an All Podium!”

Read the complete chapter at Lily on the Valley without random text

PD Han shouted with emotion. Since he started participating in the Grand Tour, he had been on the podium in every tour. This time, too, the record was maintained without being broken.

The Arc de Triomphe was standing behind the podium set up in the middle of the Champs-Élysées. The competition flags set up between the trees fluttered in the hot wind. The winners of the mountain course category, the points category, and the under-25 category stood on the podium. Some athletes carried their children in their arms while others brought their wives. The awards ceremony was literally a festival.

And finally, Gong Mujin stepped up to the podium wearing the yellow jersey. The yellow jersey was the jersey worn by the rider who set the fastest time throughout the tour. The cheers of the crowd made my heart beat wildly inside my chest. He grinned while holding a bouquet of yellow sunflowers.

Thanks to his agents, we were able to continue filming while standing relatively close to the podium. After coming down from the podium, Gong Mujin greeted several people as he began to come down the stairs. Then, our eyes met. He fixed his gaze on me and smiled brightly. I looked at him and smiled back.

“Omo, I think Gong Mujin saw us! I think he’s smiling at us!”

Writer Park took out a script from her crossbody bag and started to fret. Before we knew it, Gong Mujin strode over to us.

He laughed as he handed me the bouquet of flowers.

“What are you doing?! Hurry up and take it!”

Writer Park shouted at me to come to my senses. I laughed awkwardly and brought the bouquet into my arms. He quickly muttered something about calling me and turned around.

The shouts were so loud that my ears started ringing. Suddenly, I was scared and wondered how I was going to get out of here.

While I was wondering how to get out of the Champs-Élysées while holding a bouquet of flowers from Gong Mujin, a group of security guards from his team immediately surrounded our production crew and separated us from the huge crowd. The production crew and I were all dumbfounded as we managed to get out of the Champs-Élysées under the protection of the security guards.

The fact that the security guards were standing by meant that Gong Mujin had been preparing to do this performance beforehand.

‘Actually, we hold him to run right over here and kiss you. But he adamantly refused no matter what.’

The chatty team manager spoke to me in English for quite some time. Gong Mujin was called Jaune in France. It was a modified pronunciation of the last character of his name, Jin, and it also meant yellow in French. In the Tour de France, the yellow jersey was the symbol of the fastest cyclist.

The image of him bashfully handing me flowers and turning around with a grin kept playing through my head.
