DWWWB Ch 8 part 2

The next day, our shoot at the restaurant was not difficult. He ate well and laughed a lot like last time. His witty remarks were still there. He said that mussel rice, made with lots of mussels, was something common people enjoyed eating since ancient times. He happily and gracefully ate the rice in a large earthenware pot.

“Athlete Gong Mujin is quite unexpected. He looks so classy. He must have grown up in luxury, but he’s such an easygoing person.”

Writer Park, who was standing right next to me, whispered. I glanced at PD Han and put my index finger to my mouth, telling her to be quiet. Writer Park quickly nodded and kept her mouth shut.

The filming went smoothly, and Gong Mujin left the set first.

“You haven’t reviewed yesterday’s interview from the summit yet, have you?”

“Please give me the time to review it, and then come find me.”

I playfully retorted to PD Han’s question.

“We plan on changing the title of the program.”

“What?”

I had been organizing the script when I quickly raised my head and looked at PD Han. The original title of the program was ‘Stopping on the Roadside’. It was a program where road cyclist Gong Mujin, who had been riding forward every day, came to Korea to take a short break.

“What are you changing it to?”

“The Direction in Which the Wet Wind Blows.”

I tilted my head when I heard the somewhat sentimental title.

“If you watch the interview footage, you’ll know why.”

I had a general idea. Gong Mujin had said that he hoped for a wet wind to blow on the Ferris wheel. So he was hoping he would be given a break.

At those words, I recalled the memory of meeting him on a rainy day. A hollow sigh escaped my lips.

“Did Athlete Gong Mujin also say he likes the new title better?”

For the best reading experience, visit lilyonthevalley.com

“Yeah.”

PD Han nodded his head. I wondered what the interview had been like at the top of the hill after finishing the uphill climb. However, I also knew all the questions that would have been asked since I had read the script.

“Did you ask questions that weren’t on the script yesterday?”

“I didn’t plan on it at first. It just came out naturally. I liked it better than the original question. I think it will be better if we use it. I’ll be back to work tomorrow afternoon. See you at the editorial office.”

PD Han was cautious with his remarks, saying that it would be better for me to watch the footage directly.

The next afternoon, I went to work at the broadcasting station and headed straight for the editing room. PD Han had not arrived yet. In the editing room, the AD had finished preparing to edit. When I entered, I saw her tense face and felt bad.

“I’ll watch this alone. Go ahead and do what you have to do.”

The AD greeted me politely and left the editing room. I sat alone in a space that was about one square meter and played the footage that was supposedly so good that it had changed the title of the entire program.

— Every time you ride, you wish for a wet wind to blow?

I heard PD Han’s voice first. Behind him, a wide blue sea spread out as far as the eye could see.

— When the wet wind blows, it rains.

He smiled awkwardly as if he were saying the same thing.

— The reason you like rain is because it helps you relax?

Gong Mujin sat on the railing and shook his head. The faint sound of waves crashing in the distance could be heard in the background.

— To be more exact, it was my day off. So I was able to meet someone.

— Can you elaborate?

— When it rained, training ended early. There were times when we continued indoors, but usually that didn’t pan out. So if it rained in the middle of training, we went home early. Whenever that happened, instead of going home, I went to see that person.

My heart was pounding. The person he was referring to could have been someone in Europe, but I had a feeling that the ‘person’ Gong Mujin was talking about was me.

— Thinking back, it was selfish. That person was always there for me whenever I wanted to see her. She never made an exception. Always.

— Sounds like it was in the past?

Gong Mujin smiled sadly at PD Han’s question.

— At the time, I wanted to succeed quickly. And I wanted to meet that person… So I depended on the weather. Please let it rain… So that I can go see that person without feeling guilty for missing training. Even when it seemed like that person wouldn’t welcome me anymore, I still hoped for rain. But when it rained, I had nowhere to run… I probably missed her a lot.

His eyes were filled with sorrow. They didn’t look like they were about to shed tears, but the sadness was clearly there.

Even though I felt my eyes sting, I couldn’t help but be happy that PD Han had managed to get such a great interview. I slowly clapped.

“Why are you so moved? Is it because of my skills? Or Gong Mujin?”

At some point, PD Han had opened the door to the editing room, come inside, and pulled out a chair next to me.

“Sunbae’s skills, of course. Why would it be Gong Mujin?”

PD Han leaned back into his chair and lightly traced his lips with his finger. He tilted his head and squinted, glaring at me as if he found something very suspicious.

“What is it?”

“How can someone who works in broadcasting be this sloppy?”

PD Han propped a photo on the keyboard. I was shocked when I saw the photo that was the size of my palm. It was a picture of Gong Mujin and me kissing inside the Ferris wheel.

“What’s the point of turning off the broadcasting station’s cameras and microphones? There’s a camera inside the Ferris wheel to take commemorative photos.”

I quickly grabbed the photo and took a good look. My mind went blank. I was at a loss for words. What should I say to PD Han?

His accent began to burst out as he continued to fire his shots.

“Do ya know how dumbfounded I was? It’s not like we came up with a proper plan, and he okayed a plan that the new PD came up with out of thin air? I thought, ‘Wow, this Gong Mujin is no ordinary guy!’ After giving me such a hard time, he was being friendly with another PD. Was he trying to pick a fight with me? Is this a request for a duel or something? Did he go crazy after drinking that European water? That’s what I thought!”

PD Han lightly beat his chest with his palm as if he felt wronged.

PD Han let out a groaning sigh.

“I thought the two of you had a brief moment of attraction! You were drooling with your eyes! That’s why I wanted the two of you to do well, so I tried to push you to do an exclusive interview with him, I did! Aigoo, I’m a lunatic for doing all that.”

I don’t know why I was acting like this these days either. I felt like I was going to get cursed out no matter what I did. This was the first time I’d seen PD Han look so aggrieved.

“The cameras suddenly stopped, so I went to the souvenir shop to find a camera. But there was this thing floating in the monitor. Are you crazy? Huh?”

“Gong Mujin said he had a fear of heights! And you always go around talking about how you have high standards! I thought the bastard who had a fear of heights and the PD who only looks at a man’s face made a one-time mistake!”

I had nothing to say to that. I just listened to PD Han’s words in silence.

“Then do you want to leave the program? Did you see how the staff were gossiping at the barbecue restaurant? Do you think raising your glass and going ‘Cheers!’ fixes everything? I can’t stand seeing conflict on my set.”

I wouldn’t necessarily call this a conflict, but I couldn’t say this out loud. PD Han’s face was getting colder and colder. He finally took his cell phone out of his pocket and made a call.

“Yes, Athlete Gong Mujin. This is PD Han. Are you home? Do you have any plans to go out?”

I glared at PD Han. But I couldn’t stop him and merely fidgeted with my hands.

“PD Oh will be going to apologize to you right now. About what happened during the shoot. Yes.”

I covered my face with both hands and leaned against the desk. As a director, I highly respected PD Han’s drive. However, I was a little annoyed with his drive right now.

“Both of you are so foolish. It really annoys me how both of you act so foolishly. Anyways, you. Finish what you need to do with Gong Mujin and come back. Hurry up.”

PD Han’s quick eye had guessed what was between us from the way Gong Mujin’s and my eyes met briefly. But the problem was the wet wind. I was unable to resist PD Han’s pestering and ultimately headed to Gong Mujin’s Juniper House.

I let out a sigh and rang the doorbell. I expected a lady wearing a blank apron to come out, but the door opened with a dull electronic sound. I cautiously stepped through the gate.

“What about the housekeeper?”

Gong Mujin asked absentmindedly as if he just noticed. He gestured to the living room sofa with his chin, telling me to sit down. I sat down in the middle of the three-seat sofa, and he sat down on the armchair diagonally across from me.

“First of all, I would like to apologize for what happened at the restaurant two days ago after filming. I’m sorry.”

I bowed my head.

Before we knew it, the essence of this apology had turned to the distant past.

“I missed you so much. I yearned for you so much. That’s why there was a time when I went straight to your house. But your phone number changed, so I couldn’t hear your voice.
