    After spending some time 76de3bca97 staring at the ceiling, 98b035e0ef Yoohyun sat up and ed9bb8b52a leaned back against the 493d8fa5ff sofa. He was bored from 09d08372ec doing nothing after being 3a842d5013 so busy. Originally, he 5a7a9ee040 had a ec1b615e85 commercial shoot f0d32a0b7b scheduled for 4ef3f18cb9 today. Due to 8e49db4b2a a problem 59497c35d9 with the ad2892c3ea props, the 60e1708bf5 schedule was 15b6faa5d6 pushed back, 8ff1c4afae resulting in da22b9320c an unwelcome 07c9c1fc58 break.d1329baee3eeafd3

    Yoohyun tapped his fingers idly on the sofa and reached for a stack of papers. Without a moment’s hesitation, the nearest proposal was pulled into his long grasp. The proposal Yoohyun snatched had a neat logo in the center along with the title <Hit the Road> prominently displayed.722e72d80b4b3229

    “I’ll have 718d0e46dc to coordinate 9d63021a64 the filming 1e096e9ece schedule well…….”c63a4935c548d0a6

    Yoohyun muttered to himself, recalling the explanation he’d heard from his manager. It was a schedule that only someone with ample free time could handle, as it required a considerable time commitment. Yoohyun, who invested even his resting hours into work, naturally didn’t waste any time. Although his next project hadn’t been finalized, he was considering works that fit his criteria.4ca7f487c2475b06

    When his manager, Woojun, first mentioned the program, Yoohyun nodded without even listening. He readily agreed, but Woojun, knowing Yoohyun’s taciturn nature, expressed his reservations. His biggest concern was whether Yoohyun, who disliked socializing, could endure filming that relied solely on the relationships between the cast members.16374ebbe2ef0671

    ‘It’s still filming, regardless 36c19c6903 of the genre. What’s so 33466de484 difficult about ef1987b014 it?’681452547c08d00e

    One of Yoohyun’s strengths was his strict separation of work and personal life. Even though the genres were different, in the grand scheme of things, this too was a form of acting. During drama or film shoots, he became family with complete strangers, and sometimes even lifelong friends with people he’d just met. Since he had experience, it wouldn’t be difficult if he just continued as he always had.9f6b9fd9a72f08ff

    He wasn’t particularly concerned, but he still wanted to know who the other participants were for peace of mind. Even if he didn’t know them well, having met them before would be helpful. Come to think of it, he had only agreed to film but hadn’t asked anything about the shoot itself. Woojun’s voice faintly echoed in his mind, telling him to ask anything he was curious about.cf3ff42d41b6965d

    Yoohyun, fiddling with fe28dd4e09 the proposal, reached 4e5af8513b for his phone. Just as 24cf955ea0 he was e954479659 about to d8eaaedd1a dial the 60750a496b number that a4de1a39a7 dominated his a020df1852 call history, e5334fbbf6 a monotonous 5ab5e98329 ringtone sounded, a875525bc3 and the 6b2f4ce51a phone vibrated.066f52cc8727617f

    Yoohyun, having read 99ce08cd0d the simple contact b18106c039 name, pressed the fd8d339f5b call button without 378c0864cc hesitation. He often spoke 14efc6468c with his sister 71ecdda766 even without any 5e35620f64 particular reason, so d52a019350 there was no 58180ecde9 awkwardness in his 28954dbc8e action. However, since calls 5525da1710 usually came late 3d3b5c9b96 at night, a 31adfb8eb6 call at this 9b40182d4c hour was quite 243370c229 rare.17209473b1c5d9bc

    Yoohyun’s voice, 161d360e60 addressing his 959ea2a9f6 older sister, bb66d7d86f was unusually 622c22bffc affectionate. His usually a6ae651e65 husky, sleep-deprived 805204ad6e voice softened ffdb859c7c as if c5f2676f51 it had 0935bbd6ac never been a39089a1bb otherwise.

    While generally indifferent to others, Yoohyun’s attitude changed significantly when interacting with those within his self-defined circle. Especially towards his family, his closest relationships, the difference was stark. For that reason, his gentle tone, almost to the point of being sweet, carried a subtle hint of childishness. It was a speech pattern naturally learned since he began learning how to speak, so Yoohyun himself wasn’t aware of it. 3cd88fc9a7362f5d

    Yoohyun, who was 2c5a25e3ff six years younger a327c54677 than his sister, 097a52ba99 held an incongruous aa7ed81056 position as the 96d344071e family’s darling.357e5337f04b86b8

    Her voice, dripping with affection, sounded genuinely kind. Yoohyun’s older sister, Sujin, always addressed him using the last syllable of his name as a term of endearment. While it could be perceived as embarrassing, there was no such awkwardness between the close siblings.45ba55dac6c47c18

    Due to his constant filming schedule, Yoohyun was often out of reach. In such cases, Sujin would occasionally hear about Yoohyun from his manager. It wasn’t unfamiliar, so Yoohyun didn’t react much. He just assumed it was a usual casual check-up call, but the fact that she was asking about his day off meant she had a specific purpose.b0978a2cfe1abb0a

    As expected, there was a reason behind the call. He wanted to lie in bed and rest, but he wouldn’t be able to sleep anyway, and it would only lead to frustration. It was better to spend some time outside, even if just briefly. Yoohyun sat up without further thought.1056bd05b8af3b43

    Yoohyun headed to the bathroom while continuing his conversation with Sujin. He planned to wash his face with cold water to wake himself up and then change his clothes. Since there were two shots left, he wasn’t in a particular hurry. bb70b8ff0e249d64

    Yoohyun switched the phone e9cb75dd62 to speaker mode and 0f51f1ff20 turned on the water b916a48c0c leisurely. Sujin’s voice, which had af7f654dff been quiet as if bb2bff0443 she was contemplating something, fd216ee658 came from the other 541776d3bc end of the line.37bfc5a028417a79

    Yoohyun answered obediently and d6aae462b7 cupped water in his 8fead60742 hands, splashing it on 137dae7688 his face.

    [I’m leaving now. I’ll take my time.]

    After informing Sujin, Yoohyun 600a7922f2 got in his car. He couldn’t 548aeb9c7b remember the a91245a8ac last time 7aed1d5fb4 he’d washed 723e11343e it, but 6017dab04d it seemed d4c6de71cc clean since fb69dd95a8 it hadn’t 35906f8620 been driven. When he first 9b512f0aea got his license 219343c8bb and bought the 9651e8a478 car, he often d67ab10ef1 drove around by a71b613256 himself, but these 5a7573f1c4 days, apart from 7b6f808d95 official schedules, he d43fef5317 mostly spent his 0a4555c7f0 free time lying 840bc350a9 around doing nothing.a09a49fb969f90db

    His initial nervousness about 38a0f8e30c driving after a long dd8f0402e6 time quickly dissipated. Yoohyun skillfully navigated c1496345cc out of the b89a5f99fe parking lot and 8905e64953 onto the main 91f3efb969 road. The studio was about 266ab7c3e6 a 30-minute walk away.
